===================================== CLUSTER ======================================================================
action pre-conditions post-conditions
================ ================================================== =============================================
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. create no cluster present cluster created
mars module not inserted /mars mounted
/mars mounted
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. join (1.) on primary host cluster joined
cluster not joined /mars mounted
mars module not inserted
/mars mounted
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3. leave (1.) or (2.) no cluster present
no resources existent
===================================== RESOURCE =====================================================================
The state of a resource comprises the states of 3 objects (role, disk, replication) taking the following values:
role: primary secondary
----
disk:
----
detached : underlying device may be used by other applications
outdated : role = secondary
AND consistent
AND [ not all logfiles have been fetched from the primary
OR primary_unreachable ]
uptodate : consistent
AND [ role = primary OR [ role = secondary
AND no logfiles are to be fetched
AND repl != primary_unreachable] ]
inconsistent: none of the three states above (a sync, restore or similar action is necessary
to reach a consistent state)
repl:
----
notjoined : role = secondary AND resource exists on the primary only
replaying : consistent disk
AND [ [ role = primary AND can "send" logfiles ]
OR [ role = secondary AND can receive logfiles ] ]
primary_unreachable : what the name means
paused_sync : interrupted while syncing
syncing : what the name means
paused_replay : able to replay, but interrupted
disconnected : not used until now, probably not necessary
For data consistence the states of the following objects are important too:
device (the "underlying" device):
------
locked : cannot be opened by other applications
unlocked: usable as a normal block device by other applications
unused : not used by any application
mars_device:
-----------
usable : can be used in "normal" ways
invisible: what the name means
undef : not existent
===========
Hint: Of course the states are not independent, e.g.:
disk != detached => device = locked
repl = synching && role = secondary => disk inconsistent
These action independent rules will not be regarded here and must be guaranteed by tests.
===========
In the following table the states which are of no interest in the specific
action are omitted or their values are marked with *.
The disk state "consistent" is an abreviation for outdated || uptodate
action pre-conditions post-conditions
============= ================================================== =================================================
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4. create
(1.)
mars module inserted role : primary
device: unused disk : uptodate
repl : replaying
mars_device : usable
device : locked
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5. join
(4.) on primary host, (2.) role : secondary
mars module inserted disk : uptodate
repl : notjoined repl : replaying
device : unused mars_device : invisible
device : locked
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6. leave
(4.) or (5.) disk : detached
disk: uptodate mars_device : undef
outdated device : unlocked
-> wait | force
repl: disconnected
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
7. switch primary -> secondary
(4.) or (5.) role : secondary
role : primary disk : uptodate
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
8. switch secondary -> primary
(4.) or (5.) role: primary
no other primary host (evtl. locking (two mounts!))
role : secondary
disk : uptodate
outdated
-> wait | force
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
9. pause_sync
(4.) or (5.) repl: paused_sync
repl: synching
!synching
-> hint
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
10. pause_replay
(4.) or (5.) repl: paused_replay
repl: replaying
!replaying
-> hint
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
11. invalidate
(4.) or (5.) disk: inconsistent
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
12. logrotate
(4.) or (5.) log rotated
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
13. logdelete
(4.) or (5.) log deleted
logfile closed
AND logfile received from all secondaries
===================================== DEVICES ======================================================================
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
14. attach
(4.) or (5.) disk: if no "out of mars changes" occured since detach
disk: detached state = state before detach
else
state = inconsistent
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
15. detach
(4.) or (5.) disk: detached
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
===================================== FURTHER INFOS NEEDED =========================================================
1. all state infos from remote hosts are to be provided with a timestamp indicating their actuality
2. replication states like synching, replaying need a "progress bar"
3. useless actions (e.g. primary on a resource beeing already primary) should be handled as tolerant as possible
