I am trying to configure cinder replication with ceph as backend and i followed this URL to configure the cinder replication: https://netapp.io/2016/10/14/cinder-replication-netapp-perfect-cheesecake-recipe/ and http://www.sebastien-han.fr/blog/2017/06/19/OpenStack-Cinder-configure-replication-api-with-ceph/

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 the volume is getting created in ceph but in cinder the status is showing error. and when checked log getting the following error:

2021-06-24 17:59:39.556 28472 ERROR cinder.volume.drivers.rbd [req-6e6b901e-f2dd-43a4-a089-6c734b279e17 d576181b6a444541b8ec7f37d750a4c1 a9ac2eba50d84d64ac44b179bbcc9183 - default default] Error creating rbd image volume-361f35c4-a589-4653-b404-fb93d2f598cf.: cinder.exception.ReplicationError: Volume 361f35c4-a589-4653-b404-fb93d2f598cf replication error: Failed to enable image replication

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 .
