One wal drive was failing. So I replaced it with:
pveceph osd destroy 17 --cleanup 1
pveceph osd destroy 18 --cleanup 1
pveceph osd destroy 19 --cleanup 1

This removed the three disks and removed the osd-wal.

The Drive sdf is the replacement for the failed wal device that above 
three osds ( sdb, sdc,sdd ) used:
pveceph osd create /dev/sdb -wal_dev /dev/sdf
pveceph osd create /dev/sdc -wal_dev /dev/sdf
pveceph osd create /dev/sdd -wal_dev /dev/sdf

This approach worked fine, but took a lot of time.

So I figured it would be better to change the wal for the existing osd:
At this state /dev/sdf is completly empty (has no lvm/wiped) and all 
three osd still use the failing wal device /dev/sdh.

ceph-volume lvm new-wal --osd-id 17 --osd-fsid 
01234567-1234-1234-123456789012 --target /dev/sdf

Which obviously fails, because the target should be --target vgname/new_wal

Question part:
What would be the fast way to make the new device /dev/sdf the wal 
device, without destroying the osds 17 18 19?

Versions:
pve-manager/7.1-8/5b267f33 (running kernel: 5.13.19-2-pve)
ceph version 16.2.7 (f9aa029788115b5df5eeee328f584156565ee5b7) pacific 
(stable)

Thank you
