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).
