Thank you for the quick response. We recently moved the backend storage from Ceph to PureStorage. Now all the instance disks are in PureStorage but the config drives are in Ceph. For just a few single digit GB we need to maintain the entire Ceph cluster. So decided to completely get rid of these drives and Ceph.
