I'm not using this feature, so maybe I'm missing something, but from the way I understand cluster naming to work... I still don't understand why this is blocking for you. Unless you are attempting to mirror between two clusters running on the same hosts (why would you do this?) then systemd doesn't come into play. The --cluster flag on the rbd command will simply set the name of a configuration file with the FSID and settings of the appropriate cluster. Cluster name is just a way of telling ceph commands and systemd units where to find the configs. So, what you end up with is something like: /etc/ceph/ceph.conf (your local cluster configuration) on both clusters /etc/ceph/local.conf (config of the source cluster. Just a copy of ceph.conf of the source clsuter) /etc/ceph/remote.conf (config of destination peer cluster. Just a copy of ceph.conf of the remote cluster). Run all your rbd mirror commands against local and remote names. However when starting things like mons, osds, mds, etc. you need no cluster name as it can use ceph.conf (cluster name of ceph). Am I making sense, or have I completely missed something? -Erik On Wed, Aug 8, 2018 at 8:34 AM, Thode Jocelyn <jocelyn.thode@xxxxxxx> wrote: > Hi, > > > > We are still blocked by this problem on our end.
