RBD Mirroring
|
|
===============
|
|
|
|
.. index:: Ceph Block Device; mirroring
|
|
|
|
RBD images can be asynchronously mirrored between two Ceph clusters. This
|
|
capability is available in two modes:
|
|
|
|
* **Journal-based**: This mode uses the RBD journaling image feature to ensure
|
|
point-in-time, crash-consistent replication between clusters. Every write to
|
|
the RBD image is first recorded to the associated journal before modifying the
|
|
actual image. The remote cluster will read from this associated journal and
|
|
replay the updates to its local copy of the image. Since each write to the
|
|
RBD image will result in two writes to the Ceph cluster, expect write
|
|
latencies to nearly double while using the RBD journaling image feature.
|
|
|
|
* **Snapshot-based**: This mode uses periodically scheduled or manually
|
|
created RBD image mirror-snapshots to replicate crash-consistent RBD images
|
|
between clusters. The remote cluster will determine any data or metadata
|
|
updates between two mirror-snapshots and copy the deltas to its local copy of
|
|
the image. With the help of the RBD ``fast-diff`` image feature, updated data
|
|
blocks can be quickly determined without the need to scan the full RBD image.
|
|
Since this mode is not as fine-grained as journaling, the complete delta
|
|
between two snapshots will need to be synced prior to use during a failover
|
|
scenario. Any partially applied set of deltas will be rolled back at moment
|
|
of failover.
|
|
|
|
.. note:: journal-based mirroring requires the Ceph Jewel release or later;
|
|
snapshot-based mirroring requires the Ceph Octopus release or later.
|
|
|
|
Mirroring is configured on a per-pool basis within peer clusters and can be
|
|
configured on a specific subset of images within the pool. You can also mirror
|
|
all images within a given pool when using journal-based
|
|
mirroring. Mirroring is configured using the ``rbd`` command. The
|
|
``rbd-mirror`` daemon is responsible for pulling image updates from the remote
|
|
peer cluster and applying them to the image within the local cluster.
|
|
|
|
Depending on the desired needs for replication, RBD mirroring can be configured
|
|
for either one- or two-way replication:
|
|
|
|
* **One-way Replication**: When data is only mirrored from a primary cluster to
|
|
a secondary cluster, the ``rbd-mirror`` daemon runs only on the secondary
|
|
cluster.
|
|
|
|
* **Two-way Replication**: When data is mirrored from primary images on one
|
|
cluster to non-primary images on another cluster (and vice-versa), the
|
|
``rbd-mirror`` daemon runs on both clusters.
|
|
|
|
.. important:: Each instance of the ``rbd-mirror`` daemon must be able to
|
|
connect to both the local and remote Ceph clusters simultaneously (i.e.
|
|
all monitor and OSD hosts). Additionally, the network must have sufficient
|
|
bandwidth between the two data centers to handle mirroring workload.
|
|
|
|
Pool Configuration
|
|
==================
|
|
|
|
The following procedures demonstrate how to perform the basic administrative
|
|
tasks to configure mirroring using the ``rbd`` command. Mirroring is
|
|
configured on a per-pool basis.
|
|
|
|
These pool configuration steps should be performed on both peer clusters. These
|
|
procedures assume that both clusters, named "site-a" and "site-b", are accessible
|
|
from a single host for clarity.
|
|
|
|
See the `rbd`_ manpage for additional details of how to connect to different
|
|
Ceph clusters.
|
|
|
|
.. note:: The cluster name in the following examples corresponds to a Ceph
|
|
configuration file of the same name (e.g. /etc/ceph/site-b.conf). See the
|
|
`ceph-conf`_ documentation for how to configure multiple clusters. Note
|
|
that ``rbd-mirror`` does **not** require the source and destination clusters
|
|
to have unique internal names; both can and should call themselves ``ceph``.
|
|
The config `files` that ``rbd-mirror`` needs for local and remote clusters
|
|
can be named arbitrarily, and containerizing the daemon is one strategy
|
|
for maintaining them outside of ``/etc/ceph`` to avoid confusion.
|
|
|
|
Enable Mirroring
|
|
----------------
|
|
|
|
To enable mirroring on a pool with ``rbd``, issue the ``mirror pool enable``
|
|
subcommand with the pool name, the mirroring mode, and an optional friendly
|
|
site name to describe the local cluster::
|
|
|
|
rbd mirror pool enable [--site-name {local-site-name}] {pool-name} {mode}
|
|
|
|
The mirroring mode can either be ``image`` or ``pool``:
|
|
|
|
* **image**: When configured in ``image`` mode, mirroring must
|
|
`explicitly enabled`_ on each image.
|
|
* **pool** (default): When configured in ``pool`` mode, all images in the pool
|
|
with the journaling feature enabled are mirrored.
|
|
|
|
For example::
|
|
|
|
$ rbd --cluster site-a mirror pool enable --site-name site-a image-pool image
|
|
$ rbd --cluster site-b mirror pool enable --site-name site-b image-pool image
|
|
|
|
The site name can also be specified when creating or importing a new
|
|
`bootstrap token`_.
|
|
|
|
The site name can be changed later using the same ``mirror pool enable``
|
|
subcommand but note that the local site name and the corresponding site name
|
|
used by the remote cluster generally must match.
|
|
|
|
Disable Mirroring
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
To disable mirroring on a pool with ``rbd``, specify the ``mirror pool disable``
|
|
command and the pool name::
|
|
|
|
rbd mirror pool disable {pool-name}
|
|
|
|
When mirroring is disabled on a pool in this way, mirroring will also be
|
|
disabled on any images (within the pool) for which mirroring was enabled
|
|
explicitly.
|
|
|
|
For example::
|
|
|
|
$ rbd --cluster site-a mirror pool disable image-pool
|
|
$ rbd --cluster site-b mirror pool disable image-pool
|
|
|
|
Bootstrap Peers
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
In order for the ``rbd-mirror`` daemon to discover its peer cluster, the peer
|
|
must be registered and a user account must be created.
|
|
This process can be automated with ``rbd`` and the
|
|
``mirror pool peer bootstrap create`` and ``mirror pool peer bootstrap import``
|
|
commands.
|
|
|
|
To manually create a new bootstrap token with ``rbd``, issue the
|
|
``mirror pool peer bootstrap create`` subcommand, a pool name, and an
|
|
optional friendly site name to describe the local cluster::
|
|
|
|
rbd mirror pool peer bootstrap create [--site-name {local-site-name}] {pool-name}
|
|
|
|
The output of ``mirror pool peer bootstrap create`` will be a token that should
|
|
be provided to the ``mirror pool peer bootstrap import`` command. For example,
|
|
on site-a::
|
|
|
|
$ rbd --cluster site-a mirror pool peer bootstrap create --site-name site-a image-pool
|
|
eyJmc2lkIjoiOWY1MjgyZGItYjg5OS00NTk2LTgwOTgtMzIwYzFmYzM5NmYzIiwiY2xpZW50X2lkIjoicmJkLW1pcnJvci1wZWVyIiwia2V5IjoiQVFBUnczOWQwdkhvQmhBQVlMM1I4RmR5dHNJQU50bkFTZ0lOTVE9PSIsIm1vbl9ob3N0IjoiW3YyOjE5Mi4xNjguMS4zOjY4MjAsdjE6MTkyLjE2OC4xLjM6NjgyMV0ifQ==
|
|
|
|
To manually import the bootstrap token created by another cluster with ``rbd``,
|
|
specify the ``mirror pool peer bootstrap import`` command, the pool name, a file
|
|
path to the created token (or '-' to read from standard input), along with an
|
|
optional friendly site name to describe the local cluster and a mirroring
|
|
direction (defaults to rx-tx for bidirectional mirroring, but can also be set
|
|
to rx-only for unidirectional mirroring)::
|
|
|
|
rbd mirror pool peer bootstrap import [--site-name {local-site-name}] [--direction {rx-only or rx-tx}] {pool-name} {token-path}
|
|
|
|
For example, on site-b::
|
|
|
|
$ cat <<EOF > token
|
|
eyJmc2lkIjoiOWY1MjgyZGItYjg5OS00NTk2LTgwOTgtMzIwYzFmYzM5NmYzIiwiY2xpZW50X2lkIjoicmJkLW1pcnJvci1wZWVyIiwia2V5IjoiQVFBUnczOWQwdkhvQmhBQVlMM1I4RmR5dHNJQU50bkFTZ0lOTVE9PSIsIm1vbl9ob3N0IjoiW3YyOjE5Mi4xNjguMS4zOjY4MjAsdjE6MTkyLjE2OC4xLjM6NjgyMV0ifQ==
|
|
EOF
|
|
$ rbd --cluster site-b mirror pool peer bootstrap import --site-name site-b image-pool token
|
|
|
|
Add Cluster Peer Manually
|
|
-------------------------
|
|
|
|
Cluster peers can be specified manually if desired or if the above bootstrap
|
|
commands are not available with the currently installed Ceph release.
|
|
|
|
The remote ``rbd-mirror`` daemon will need access to the local cluster to
|
|
perform mirroring. A new local Ceph user should be created for the remote
|
|
daemon to use. To `create a Ceph user`_, with ``ceph`` specify the
|
|
``auth get-or-create`` command, user name, monitor caps, and OSD caps::
|
|
|
|
$ ceph auth get-or-create client.rbd-mirror-peer mon 'profile rbd-mirror-peer' osd 'profile rbd'
|
|
|
|
The resulting keyring should be copied to the other cluster's ``rbd-mirror``
|
|
daemon hosts if not using the Ceph monitor ``config-key`` store described below.
|
|
|
|
To manually add a mirroring peer Ceph cluster with ``rbd``, specify the
|
|
``mirror pool peer add`` command, the pool name, and a cluster specification::
|
|
|
|
rbd mirror pool peer add {pool-name} {client-name}@{cluster-name}
|
|
|
|
For example::
|
|
|
|
$ rbd --cluster site-a mirror pool peer add image-pool client.rbd-mirror-peer@site-b
|
|
$ rbd --cluster site-b mirror pool peer add image-pool client.rbd-mirror-peer@site-a
|
|
|
|
By default, the ``rbd-mirror`` daemon needs to have access to a Ceph
|
|
configuration file located at ``/etc/ceph/{cluster-name}.conf`` that provides
|
|
the addresses of the peer cluster's monitors, in addition to a keyring for
|
|
``{client-name}`` located in the default or configured keyring search paths
|
|
(e.g. ``/etc/ceph/{cluster-name}.{client-name}.keyring``).
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, the peer cluster's monitor and/or client key can be securely
|
|
stored within the local Ceph monitor ``config-key`` store. To specify the
|
|
peer cluster connection attributes when adding a mirroring peer, use the
|
|
``--remote-mon-host`` and ``--remote-key-file`` optionals. For example::
|
|
|
|
$ cat <<EOF > remote-key-file
|
|
AQAeuZdbMMoBChAAcj++/XUxNOLFaWdtTREEsw==
|
|
EOF
|
|
$ rbd --cluster site-a mirror pool peer add image-pool client.rbd-mirror-peer@site-b --remote-mon-host 192.168.1.1,192.168.1.2 --remote-key-file remote-key-file
|
|
$ rbd --cluster site-a mirror pool info image-pool --all
|
|
Mode: pool
|
|
Peers:
|
|
UUID NAME CLIENT MON_HOST KEY
|
|
587b08db-3d33-4f32-8af8-421e77abb081 site-b client.rbd-mirror-peer 192.168.1.1,192.168.1.2 AQAeuZdbMMoBChAAcj++/XUxNOLFaWdtTREEsw==
|
|
|
|
Remove Cluster Peer
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
To remove a mirroring peer Ceph cluster with ``rbd``, specify the
|
|
``mirror pool peer remove`` command, the pool name, and the peer UUID
|
|
(available from the ``rbd mirror pool info`` command)::
|
|
|
|
rbd mirror pool peer remove {pool-name} {peer-uuid}
|
|
|
|
For example::
|
|
|
|
$ rbd --cluster site-a mirror pool peer remove image-pool 55672766-c02b-4729-8567-f13a66893445
|
|
$ rbd --cluster site-b mirror pool peer remove image-pool 60c0e299-b38f-4234-91f6-eed0a367be08
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
Image Configuration
|
|
===================
|
|
|
|
Unlike pool configuration, image configuration only needs to be performed
|
|
against a single mirroring peer Ceph cluster.
|
|
|
|
Mirrored RBD images are designated as either primary or non-primary. This is a
|
|
property of the image and not the pool. Images that are designated as
|
|
non-primary cannot be modified.
|
|
|
|
Images are automatically promoted to primary when mirroring is first enabled on
|
|
an image (either implicitly if the pool mirror mode was ``pool`` and the image
|
|
has the journaling image feature enabled, or `explicitly enabled`_ by the
|
|
``rbd`` command if the pool mirror mode was ``image``).
|
|
|
|
Enable Image Mirroring
|
|
----------------------
|
|
|
|
If mirroring is configured in ``image`` mode for the image's pool, then it
|
|
is necessary to explicitly enable mirroring for each image within the pool.
|
|
To enable mirroring for a specific image with ``rbd``, specify the
|
|
``mirror image enable`` command along with the pool, image name, and mode::
|
|
|
|
rbd mirror image enable {pool-name}/{image-name} {mode}
|
|
|
|
The mirror image mode can either be ``journal`` or ``snapshot``:
|
|
|
|
* **journal** (default): When configured in ``journal`` mode, mirroring will
|
|
utilize the RBD journaling image feature to replicate the image contents. If
|
|
the RBD journaling image feature is not yet enabled on the image, it will be
|
|
automatically enabled.
|
|
|
|
* **snapshot**: When configured in ``snapshot`` mode, mirroring will utilize
|
|
RBD image mirror-snapshots to replicate the image contents. Once enabled, an
|
|
initial mirror-snapshot will automatically be created. Additional RBD image
|
|
`mirror-snapshots`_ can be created by the ``rbd`` command.
|
|
|
|
For example::
|
|
|
|
$ rbd --cluster site-a mirror image enable image-pool/image-1 snapshot
|
|
$ rbd --cluster site-a mirror image enable image-pool/image-2 journal
|
|
|
|
Enable Image Journaling Feature
|
|
-------------------------------
|
|
|
|
RBD journal-based mirroring uses the RBD image journaling feature to ensure that
|
|
the replicated image always remains crash-consistent. When using the ``image``
|
|
mirroring mode, the journaling feature will be automatically enabled when
|
|
mirroring is enabled on the image. When using the ``pool`` mirroring mode,
|
|
before an image can be mirrored to a peer cluster, the RBD image journaling
|
|
feature must be enabled. The feature can be enabled at image creation time by
|
|
providing the ``--image-feature exclusive-lock,journaling`` option to the
|
|
``rbd`` command.
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, the journaling feature can be dynamically enabled on
|
|
pre-existing RBD images. To enable journaling with ``rbd``, specify
|
|
the ``feature enable`` command, the pool and image name, and the feature name::
|
|
|
|
rbd feature enable {pool-name}/{image-name} {feature-name}
|
|
|
|
For example::
|
|
|
|
$ rbd --cluster site-a feature enable image-pool/image-1 journaling
|
|
|
|
.. note:: The journaling feature is dependent on the exclusive-lock feature. If
|
|
the exclusive-lock feature is not already enabled, it should be enabled prior
|
|
to enabling the journaling feature.
|
|
|
|
.. tip:: You can enable journaling on all new images by default by adding
|
|
``rbd default features = 125`` to your Ceph configuration file.
|
|
|
|
.. tip:: ``rbd-mirror`` tunables are set by default to values suitable for
|
|
mirroring an entire pool. When using ``rbd-mirror`` to migrate single
|
|
volumes been clusters you may achieve substantial performance gains
|
|
by setting ``rbd_mirror_journal_max_fetch_bytes=33554432`` and
|
|
``rbd_journal_max_payload_bytes=8388608`` within the ``[client]`` config
|
|
section of the local or centralized configuration. Note that these
|
|
settings may allow ``rbd-mirror`` to present a substantial write workload
|
|
to the destination cluster: monitor cluster performance closely during
|
|
migrations and test carefully before running multiple migrations in parallel.
|
|
|
|
Create Image Mirror-Snapshots
|
|
-----------------------------
|
|
|
|
When using snapshot-based mirroring, mirror-snapshots will need to be created
|
|
whenever it is desired to mirror the changed contents of the RBD image. To
|
|
create a mirror-snapshot manually with ``rbd``, specify the
|
|
``mirror image snapshot`` command along with the pool and image name::
|
|
|
|
rbd mirror image snapshot {pool-name}/{image-name}
|
|
|
|
For example::
|
|
|
|
$ rbd --cluster site-a mirror image snapshot image-pool/image-1
|
|
|
|
By default only ``3`` mirror-snapshots will be created per-image. The most
|
|
recent mirror-snapshot is automatically pruned if the limit is reached.
|
|
The limit can be overridden via the ``rbd_mirroring_max_mirroring_snapshots``
|
|
configuration option if required. Additionally, mirror-snapshots are
|
|
automatically deleted when the image is removed or when mirroring is disabled.
|
|
|
|
Mirror-snapshots can also be automatically created on a periodic basis if
|
|
mirror-snapshot schedules are defined. The mirror-snapshot can be scheduled
|
|
globally, per-pool, or per-image levels. Multiple mirror-snapshot schedules can
|
|
be defined at any level, but only the most-specific snapshot schedules that
|
|
match an individual mirrored image will run.
|
|
|
|
To create a mirror-snapshot schedule with ``rbd``, specify the
|
|
``mirror snapshot schedule add`` command along with an optional pool or
|
|
image name; interval; and optional start time::
|
|
|
|
rbd mirror snapshot schedule add [--pool {pool-name}] [--image {image-name}] {interval} [{start-time}]
|
|
|
|
The ``interval`` can be specified in days, hours, or minutes using ``d``, ``h``,
|
|
``m`` suffix respectively. The optional ``start-time`` can be specified using
|
|
the ISO 8601 time format. For example::
|
|
|
|
$ rbd --cluster site-a mirror snapshot schedule add --pool image-pool 24h 14:00:00-05:00
|
|
$ rbd --cluster site-a mirror snapshot schedule add --pool image-pool --image image1 6h
|
|
|
|
To remove a mirror-snapshot schedules with ``rbd``, specify the
|
|
``mirror snapshot schedule remove`` command with options that match the
|
|
corresponding ``add`` schedule command.
|
|
|
|
To list all snapshot schedules for a specific level (global, pool, or image)
|
|
with ``rbd``, specify the ``mirror snapshot schedule ls`` command along with
|
|
an optional pool or image name. Additionally, the ``--recursive`` option can
|
|
be specified to list all schedules at the specified level and below. For
|
|
example::
|
|
|
|
$ rbd --cluster site-a mirror snapshot schedule ls --pool image-pool --recursive
|
|
POOL NAMESPACE IMAGE SCHEDULE
|
|
image-pool - - every 1d starting at 14:00:00-05:00
|
|
image-pool image1 every 6h
|
|
|
|
To view the status for when the next snapshots will be created for
|
|
snapshot-based mirroring RBD images with ``rbd``, specify the
|
|
``mirror snapshot schedule status`` command along with an optional pool or
|
|
image name::
|
|
|
|
rbd mirror snapshot schedule status [--pool {pool-name}] [--image {image-name}]
|
|
|
|
For example::
|
|
|
|
$ rbd --cluster site-a mirror snapshot schedule status
|
|
SCHEDULE TIME IMAGE
|
|
2020-02-26 18:00:00 image-pool/image1
|
|
|
|
Disable Image Mirroring
|
|
-----------------------
|
|
|
|
To disable mirroring for a specific image with ``rbd``, specify the
|
|
``mirror image disable`` command along with the pool and image name::
|
|
|
|
rbd mirror image disable {pool-name}/{image-name}
|
|
|
|
For example::
|
|
|
|
$ rbd --cluster site-a mirror image disable image-pool/image-1
|
|
|
|
Image Promotion and Demotion
|
|
----------------------------
|
|
|
|
In a failover scenario where the primary designation needs to be moved to the
|
|
image in the peer Ceph cluster, access to the primary image should be stopped
|
|
(e.g. power down the VM or remove the associated drive from a VM), demote the
|
|
current primary image, promote the new primary image, and resume access to the
|
|
image on the alternate cluster.
|
|
|
|
.. note:: RBD only provides the necessary tools to facilitate an orderly
|
|
failover of an image. An external mechanism is required to coordinate the
|
|
full failover process (e.g. closing the image before demotion).
|
|
|
|
To demote a specific image to non-primary with ``rbd``, specify the
|
|
``mirror image demote`` command along with the pool and image name::
|
|
|
|
rbd mirror image demote {pool-name}/{image-name}
|
|
|
|
For example::
|
|
|
|
$ rbd --cluster site-a mirror image demote image-pool/image-1
|
|
|
|
To demote all primary images within a pool to non-primary with ``rbd``, specify
|
|
the ``mirror pool demote`` command along with the pool name::
|
|
|
|
rbd mirror pool demote {pool-name}
|
|
|
|
For example::
|
|
|
|
$ rbd --cluster site-a mirror pool demote image-pool
|
|
|
|
To promote a specific image to primary with ``rbd``, specify the
|
|
``mirror image promote`` command along with the pool and image name::
|
|
|
|
rbd mirror image promote [--force] {pool-name}/{image-name}
|
|
|
|
For example::
|
|
|
|
$ rbd --cluster site-b mirror image promote image-pool/image-1
|
|
|
|
To promote all non-primary images within a pool to primary with ``rbd``, specify
|
|
the ``mirror pool promote`` command along with the pool name::
|
|
|
|
rbd mirror pool promote [--force] {pool-name}
|
|
|
|
For example::
|
|
|
|
$ rbd --cluster site-a mirror pool promote image-pool
|
|
|
|
.. tip:: Since the primary / non-primary status is per-image, it is possible to
|
|
have two clusters split the IO load and stage failover / failback.
|
|
|
|
.. note:: Promotion can be forced using the ``--force`` option. Forced
|
|
promotion is needed when the demotion cannot be propagated to the peer
|
|
Ceph cluster (e.g. Ceph cluster failure, communication outage). This will
|
|
result in a split-brain scenario between the two peers and the image will no

Force Image Resync
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
If a split-brain event is detected by the ``rbd-mirror`` daemon, it will not
|
|
attempt to mirror the affected image until corrected. To resume mirroring for an
|
|
image, first `demote the image`_ determined to be out-of-date and then request a
|
|
resync to the primary image. To request an image resync with ``rbd``, specify
|
|
the ``mirror image resync`` command along with the pool and image name::
|
|
|
|
rbd mirror image resync {pool-name}/{image-name}
|
|
|
|
For example::
|
|
|
|
$ rbd mirror image resync image-pool/image-1
|
|
|
|
.. note:: The ``rbd`` command only flags the image as requiring a resync. The
|
|
local cluster's ``rbd-mirror`` daemon process is responsible for performing
|
|
the resync asynchronously.
|
|
|
|
Mirror Status
|
|
=============
|
|
|
|
The peer cluster replication status is stored for every primary mirrored image.
|
|
This status can be retrieved using the ``mirror image status`` and
|
|
``mirror pool status`` commands.
|
|
|
|
To request the mirror image status with ``rbd``, specify the
|
|
``mirror image status`` command along with the pool and image name::
|
|
|
|
rbd mirror image status {pool-name}/{image-name}
|
|
|
|
For example::
|
|
|
|
$ rbd mirror image status image-pool/image-1
|
|
|
|
To request the mirror pool summary status with ``rbd``, specify the
|
|
``mirror pool status`` command along with the pool name::
|
|
|
|
rbd mirror pool status {pool-name}
|
|
|
|
For example::
|
|
|
|
$ rbd mirror pool status image-pool
|
|
|
|
.. note:: Adding ``--verbose`` option to the ``mirror pool status`` command will
|
|
additionally output status details for every mirroring image in the pool.
|
|
|
|
rbd-mirror Daemon
|
|
=================
|
|
|
|
The two ``rbd-mirror`` daemons are responsible for watching image journals on
|
|
the remote, peer cluster and replaying the journal events against the local
|
|
cluster. The RBD image journaling feature records all modifications to the
|
|
image in the order they occur. This ensures that a crash-consistent mirror of
|
|
the remote image is available locally.
|
|
|
|
The ``rbd-mirror`` daemon is available within the optional ``rbd-mirror``
|
|
distribution package.
|
|
|
|
.. important:: Each ``rbd-mirror`` daemon requires the ability to connect
|
|
to both clusters simultaneously.
|
|
.. warning:: Pre-Luminous releases: only run a single ``rbd-mirror`` daemon per
|
|
Ceph cluster.
|
|
|
|
Each ``rbd-mirror`` daemon should use a unique Ceph user ID. To
|
|
`create a Ceph user`_, with ``ceph`` specify the ``auth get-or-create``
|
|
command, user name, monitor caps, and OSD caps::
|
|
|
|
ceph auth get-or-create client.rbd-mirror.{unique id} mon 'profile rbd-mirror' osd 'profile rbd'
|
|
|
|
The ``rbd-mirror`` daemon can be managed by ``systemd`` by specifying the user
|
|
ID as the daemon instance::
|
|
|
|
systemctl enable ceph-rbd-mirror@rbd-mirror.{unique id}
|
|
|
|
The ``rbd-mirror`` can also be run in foreground by ``rbd-mirror`` command::
|
|
|
|
rbd-mirror -f --log-file={log_path}
