Can you pastebin the results from running the following on your backup site rbd-mirror daemon node? ceph --admin-socket /path/to/asok config set debug_rbd_mirror 15 ceph --admin-socket /path/to/asok rbd mirror restart nova .... wait a minute to let some logs accumulate ... ceph --admin-socket /path/to/asok config set debug_rbd_mirror 0/5 ... and collect the rbd-mirror log from /var/log/ceph/ (should have lots of "rbd::mirror"-like log entries.
