move OSDs disks between hosts
If you used ceph-deploy and/or ceph-disk to set up these OSDs (that is, if they are stored on labeled GPT partitions such that upstart is automagically starting up the ceph-osd daemons for you without you putting anythign in /etc/fstab to manually mount the volumes) then all of this should be plug and play for you--including step #3. By default, the startup process will 'fix' the CRUSH hierarchy position based on the hostname and (if present) other positional data configured for 'crush location' in ceph.conf. The only real requirement is that both the osd data and journal volumes get moved so that the daemon has everything it needs to start up.
