Hi, there’s a ‚cinder manage‘ command to import an rbd image into openstack. But be aware that if you delete it in openstack it will be removed from ceph, too (like a regular cinder volume). I don’t have the exact command syntax at hand right now, but try ‚cinder help manage‘ Regards Eugen Zitat von DHilsbos@performair.com:
All;
I'm looking to transfer several VMs from XenServer to an OpenStack Victoria cloud. Finding explanations for importing Glance images is easy, but I haven't been able to find a tutorial on importing Cinder volumes.
Since they are currently independent servers / volumes it seems somewhat wasteful and messy to import each VMs disk as an image just to spawn a volume from it.
We're using Ceph as the storage provider for Glance and Cinder.
Thank you,
