configuration file of the same name (e.g. /etc/ceph/remote.conf). See the
`ceph-conf`_ documentation for how to configure multiple clusters.
-.. note:: Images in a given pool will be mirrored to a pool with the same name
- on the remote cluster. Images using a separate data-pool will use a data-pool
- with the same name on the remote cluster. E.g., if an image being mirrored is
- in the ``rbd`` pool on the local cluster and using a data-pool called
- ``rbd-ec``, pools called ``rbd`` and ``rbd-ec`` must exist on the remote
- cluster and will be used for mirroring the image.

+Data Pools
+----------
+
+When creating images in the destination cluster, ``rbd-mirror`` selects a data
+pool as follows:
+
+#. If the destination cluster has a default data pool configured (with the
+ ``rbd_default_data_pool`` configuration option), it will be used.
+#. Otherwise, if the source image uses a separate data pool, and a pool with the
+ same name exists on the destination cluster, that pool will be used.
+#. If neither of the above is true, no data pool will be set.
