Thank you Anthony! I agree that rbd-mirror is more reliable and manageable and it's not that complicated to user. I will try both and see which works better for me. Tony From: Anthony D'Atri Sent: April 21, 2022 09:02 PM To: Tony Liu Cc:

Thank you Mart! Pipe is indeed easier. I found this blog. Will give it a try. https://machinenix.com/ceph/how-to-export-a-ceph-rbd-image-from-one-cluster-to-another-without-using-a-bridge-server Tony From: Mart van Santen Sent: April 21, 2022 08:52 PM To:

As someone noted, rbd export / import work. I’ve also used rbd-mirror for capacity management, it works well for moving attached as well as unattached images. When using rbd-mirror to move 1-2 images at a time, adjustments to default parameters speeds progress substantially. It’s easy to see

Hi Tony, Have a look at rbd export and rbd import, they dump the image to a file or stdout. You can pipe the rbd export directly into an rbd import assuming you have a host which has access to both ceph clusters. Hope this helps! Mart From mobile > On Apr 22, 2022, at 11:42, Tony Liu
