[ops][victoria][cinder] Import volume?

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
