Hi Rajat,
I was using the 1st link as a reference. As per the 2nd link The rbd
mirroring in ceph is configured properly, we've tested by creating an image
in ceph itself the mirroring is functioning properly. The problem we are
facing is in cinder, apparently there is a bug
https://bugs.launchpad.net/cinder/+bug/1898728 which states that cinder
retype (to replication enabled volume type) does not enable replication and
when we are creating a volume directly in cinder using replication enabled
volume type, the volume is getting created in ceph but in cinder the volume
stays in error state (as a result we are unable to use it in instances
primary disk)
