Thank you for your replies. So, if I use the method Hector suggested (by
creating PVs, VGs.... etc. first), can I add the --osd-id parameter to the
command as in

ceph-volume lvm prepare --bluestore --data hdd0/data0 --block.db ssd/db0
--osd-id 0
ceph-volume lvm prepare --bluestore --data hdd1/data1 --block.db ssd/db1
--osd-id 1

so that Filestore -> Bluestore migration will not change the osd ID on each
disk?

And one more question.  Are there any changes I need to make to the
ceph.conf file?  I did comment out this line that was probably used for
creating Filestore (using ceph-deploy):  osd journal size = 40960
