Replace failed boot drive without trashing ceph OSD's?

I have a failed boot drive in a 7 node proxmox cluster with ceph. If I replace the drive and do a fresh install, I would need to trash the OSD's attached to that node. If I could somehow recover the OSD's instead it would be great and probably save time too. Is that possible?
 
Are all nodes running the same versions?
If so, please provide the output of pveversion -v for a working node.

If it's new enough, you should be able to reuse the OSDs just by activating them with the `ceph-volume lvm activate` command.
