Hi Jocelyn,
I'm in the process of setting up rdb-mirroring myself and stumbled on the same problem. But I think that the "trick" here is to _not_ colocate the RDB-mirror daemon with any other part of the cluster(s), it should be run on a separate host. That way you can change the CLUSTER_NAME variable in /etc/sysconfig/ceph without affecting any of the mons, osd etc.
Best regards

Hi Erik,
The thing is that the rbd-mirror service uses the /etc/sysconfig/ceph file to determine which configuration file to use (from CLUSTER_NAME). So you need to set this to the name you chose for rbd-mirror to work. However setting this CLUSTER_NAME variable in /etc/sysconfig/ceph makes it so that the mon, osd etc services will also use this variable. Because of this they cannot start anymore as all their path are set with "ceph" as cluster name.
However there might be something that I missed which would make this point moot
Best Regards
Jocelyn Thode

Subject: Re: [Ceph-deploy] Cluster Name
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?
