Indeed, it is forthcoming in the Nautilus release. You would initiate a "rbd migration prepare <src-image-spec> <dst-image-spec>" to transparently link the dst-image-spec to the src-image-spec. Any active Nautilus clients against the image will then re-open the dst-image-spec for all IO operations. Read requests that cannot be fulfilled by the new dst-image-spec will be forwarded to the original src-image-spec (similar to how parent/child cloning behaves). Write requests to the dst-image-spec will force a deep-copy of all impacted src-image-spec backing data objects (including snapshot history) to the associated dst-image-spec backing data object. At any point a storage admin can run "rbd migration execute" to deep-copy all src-image-spec data blocks to the dst-image-spec. Once the migration is complete, you would just run "rbd migration commit" to remove src-image-spec. Note: at some point prior to "rbd migration commit", you will need to take minimal downtime to switch OpenStack volume registration from the old image to the new image if you are changing pools.
