Hi Gorka, Thank you for helping me find the issue, the ceph was set up for pool replication whereas it should be set up for image replication. After setting up image replication i am able to create volume without any issue and the replication functionality is working fine.

Hi,
If I remember correctly there are 2 types of mirroring, per-pool and per-image.
When you say it's mirroring properly, do you mean you have enabled pool level replication? As in, any image created in that pool will be automatically replicated?
If that's the case, then you have to change it, because Cinder replication works on a per image basis.
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)
Those are 2 different cases, creating a new volume is different from retyping.
The bug you mention describes that the problem on retype happens because the new type is a dictionary and not a Volume instance, so the extra_specs attribute doesn't exist.
In your case I would say the issue is related to how the pool is configured in the Ceph cluster.
Cheers, Gorka.

Hi, I am trying to configure cinder replication with ceph as backend and i followed this URL to configure the cinder replication:

and
http://www.sebastien-han.fr/blog/2017/06/19/OpenStack-Cinder-configure-repli...
The first link is specific to netapp driver so I'm not sure how it helps with ceph replication. For the second link, did you configure two ceph clusters properly and set the needed values with replication_device parameter?
i created a Volume type - REPL, with replication enabled <is> True and colume backend name parameter.
But when i am trying to create a volume using the created volume type
volume is getting created in ceph but in cinder the status is showing error. and when checked log getting the following error:

I tried to create a volume using volume type- default and then later changed the volume type using command 'cinder retype' to the
created
volume type and it changed without any issue.
I am using openstack victoria .
