RBD Snapshotting
|
|
==================
|
|
|
|
One of the advanced features of RADOS block devices is that you can create
|
|
snapshots of the images to retain a history of an image's state. Ceph supports
|
|
RBD snapshots from the ``rbd`` command, from a kernel object, from a
|
|
KVM, and from cloud solutions. Once you create snapshots of an image, you
|
|
can rollback to a snapshot, list snapshots, remove snapshots and purge
|
|
the snapshots.
|
|
|
|
.. important:: To use use RBD snapshots, you must have a running Ceph cluster.
|
|
|
|
.. warning:: Stop i/o before snapshotting an image.
|
|
If the image contains a filesystem, the filesystem must be in a
|
|
consistent state before snapshotting.
|
|
|
|
Create Snapshot
|
|
===============
|
|
|
|
To create a snapshot with ``rbd``, specify the ``snap create`` option,
|
|
the pool name, the image name and the username. If you use ``cephx`` for
|
|
authentication, you must also specify a key or a secret file. ::
|
|
|
|
rbd --name {user-name} --keyfile=/path/to/secret --pool {pool-name} snap create --snap {snap-name} {image-name}
|
|
|
|
For example::
|
|
|
|
rbd --name client.admin --pool rbd snap create --snap foo.snapname foo
|
|
|
|
List Snapshots
|
|
==============
|
|
|
|
To list snapshots of an image, specify the pool name, the image name, and
|
|
the username. If you use ``cephx`` for authentication, you must also
|
|
specify a key or a secret file. ::
|
|
|
|
rbd --name {user-name} --keyfile=/path/to/secret --pool {pool-name} snap ls {image-name}
|
|
|
|
For example::
|
|
|
|
rbd --name client.admin --pool rbd snap ls foo
|
|
|
|
|
|
Rollback Snapshot
|
|
=================
|
|
|
|
To rollback a snapshot with ``rbd``, specify the ``snap rollback`` option,
|
|
the pool name, the image name and the username. If you use ``cephx`` for
|
|
authentication, you must also specify a key or a secret file. ::
|
|
|
|
rbd --name {user-name} --keyfile=/path/to/secret --pool {pool-name} snap rollback --snap {snap-name} {image-name}
|
|
|
|
For example::
|
|
|
|
rbd --name client.admin --pool rbd snap rollback --snap foo.snapname foo
|
|
|
|
|
|
Delete a Snapshot
|
|
=================
|
|
|
|
To delete a snapshot with ``rbd``, specify the ``snap rm`` option,
|
|
the pool name, the image name and the username. If you use ``cephx`` for
|
|
authentication, you must also specify a key or a secret file. ::
|
|
|
|
rbd --name {user-name} --keyfile=/path/to/secret --pool {pool-name} snap rm --snap {snap-name} {image-name}
|
|
|
|
For example::
|
|
|
|
rbd --name client.admin --pool rbd snap rm --snap foo.snapname foo
