I accidentally unplugged boot Hard Disk from one of the 11-node ceph cluster.

The hard disk is gone no way to recover.

Now my cluster shows 11 nodes and 1 node in gray.

I know I have to reinstall it from scratch. Just wanted to run this by to make sure I am on right path

1. Remove existing node from cluster
>pveceph delnode nodename

2. Install Same version proxmox on the lost node

3. Once its backup configure its network same way

4. Add it back to cluster

Is that it or should I also consider something else.

This is prod environment so wanted to make sure I have right steps jolted down.

Thank you.

How are the nodes presented if you run pvecm status?
