Copy your "/etc/ceph/ceph.conf" and associated keyrings for both clusters to a single machine (preferably running a Mimic "rbd" client) under "/etc/ceph/<cluster-name>.conf" and "/etc/ceph/<cluster-name>.client.<id>.keyring". You can then use "rbd -c <old cluster name> export --export-format 2 <image-spec> - | rbd -c <new cluster name> import --export-format=2 - <image-spec>". The "--export-format=2" option will also copy all associated snapshots with the images. If you don't want/need the snapshots, just drop that optional. > > Just my 2 ct: > > the 'rbd' commands allows specifying a configuration file (-c). You need to setup two configuration files, one for each cluster. You can also use two different cluster names (--cluster option). AFAIK the name is only used to locate the configuration file. I'm not sure how well the kernel works with mapping RBDs from two different cluster..... > > > If you only want to transfer RBDs from one cluster to another, you do not need to map and mount them; the 'rbd' command has the sub commands 'export' and 'import'. You can pipe them to avoid writing data to a local disk. This should be the fastest way to transfer the RBDs. > > > Regards, > > Burkhard > > -- > Dr. rer. nat.
