Indeed. You will get implicit mirroring snapshots created whenever you
enable/promote/demote. You can see the snapshots by using "rbd snap ls
--all <image-spec>" (since normally only user-created snapshots are
shown).

Besides the implicit mirror snapshot actions above, you will now need
to explicitly create a mirror snapshot via "rbd mirror image snapshot"
or via the mirror snapshot schedule in order to transfer any image
deltas.
