But, I already mentioned it (for a bit different case) in newer versions there is ceph-volume lvm migrate [1] which I think allows to do the same but in much simpler way. I have not tried it to and the documentation is not very clear to me so one need to experiment with this before writing exact instructions. We might also need to use new-db [2] and new-wal [3] commands before running migrate but I am not sure they are needed for this particular case.
