# Failover and Failback In Disaster Recovery
|
||||
|
||||
[RBD mirroring](https://docs.ceph.com/en/latest/rbd/rbd-mirroring/)
|
||||
is an asynchronous replication of RBD images between multiple Ceph clusters.
|
||||
This capability is available in two modes:
|
||||
|
||||
* Journal-based: 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 image.
|
||||
* Snapshot-based: This mode uses periodically scheduled or
|
||||
manually created RBD image mirror-snapshots to replicate
|
||||
crash-consistent RBD images between clusters.
|
||||
|
||||
This documentation assumes that `rbd mirroring` is set up between
|
||||
two clusters.
|
||||
For more information on how to set up rbd mirroring, refer to
|
||||
[ceph documentation](https://docs.ceph.com/en/latest/rbd/rbd-mirroring/).
|
||||
|
||||
## Deploy the Volume Replication CRD
|
||||
|
||||
Volume Replication Operator is a kubernetes operator that provides common
|
||||
and reusable APIs for storage disaster recovery.
|
||||
It is based on [csi-addons/spec](https://github.com/csi-addons/spec)
|
||||
specification and can be used by any storage provider.
|
||||
|
||||
Volume Replication Operator follows controller pattern and provides
|
||||
extended APIs for storage disaster recovery.
|
||||
The extended APIs are provided via Custom Resource Definition (CRD).
|
||||
|
||||
>:bulb: For more information, please refer to the
|
||||
> [volume-replication-operator](https://github.com/csi-addons/volume-replication-operator).
|
||||
|
||||
* Deploy the `VolumeReplicationClass` CRD
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
kubectl create -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/csi-addons/volume-replication-operator/release-v0.1/config/crd/bases/replication.storage.openshift.io_volumereplicationclasses.yaml
|
||||
|
||||
customresourcedefinition.apiextensions.k8s.io/volumereplicationclasses.replication.storage.openshift.io created
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
* Deploy the `VolumeReplication` CRD
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
kubectl create -f https://raw.githubusercontent.com/csi-addons/volume-replication-operator/release-v0.1/config/crd/bases/replication.storage.openshift.io_volumereplications.yaml
|
||||
|
||||
customresourcedefinition.apiextensions.k8s.io/volumereplications.replication.storage.openshift.io created created
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The VolumeReplicationClass and VolumeReplication CRDs are now created.
|
||||
|
||||
>:bulb: **Note:** Use the latest available release for Volume Replication Operator.
|
||||
> See [releases](https://github.com/csi-addons/volume-replication-operator/branches)
|
||||
> for more information.
|
||||
|
||||
### Add RBAC rules for Volume Replication Operator
|
||||
|
||||
Add the below mentioned rules to `rbd-external-provisioner-runner`
|
||||
ClusterRole in [csi-provisioner-rbac.yaml](https://github.com/ceph/ceph-csi/blob/release-v3.3/deploy/rbd/kubernetes/csi-provisioner-rbac.yaml)
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
- apiGroups: ["replication.storage.openshift.io"]
|
||||
resources: ["volumereplications", "volumereplicationclasses"]
|
||||
verbs: ["create", "delete", "get", "list", "patch", "update", "watch"]
|
||||
- apiGroups: ["replication.storage.openshift.io"]
|
||||
resources: ["volumereplications/finalizers"]
|
||||
verbs: ["update"]
|
||||
- apiGroups: ["replication.storage.openshift.io"]
|
||||
resources: ["volumereplications/status"]
|
||||
verbs: ["get", "patch", "update"]
|
||||
- apiGroups: ["replication.storage.openshift.io"]
|
||||
resources: ["volumereplicationclasses/status"]
|
||||
verbs: ["get"]
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### Deploy the Volume Replication Sidecar
|
||||
|
||||
To deploy `volume-replication` sidecar container in `csi-rbdplugin-provisioner`
|
||||
pod, add the following yaml to
|
||||
[csi-rbdplugin-provisioner deployment](https://github.com/ceph/ceph-csi/blob/release-v3.3/deploy/rbd/kubernetes/csi-rbdplugin-provisioner.yaml).
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
- name: volume-replication
|
||||
image: quay.io/csiaddons/volumereplication-operator:v0.1.0
|
||||
args :
|
||||
- "--metrics-bind-address=0"
|
||||
- "--leader-election-namespace=$(NAMESPACE)"
|
||||

|
||||
- "--rpc-timeout=150s"
|
||||
- "--health-probe-bind-address=:9998"
|
||||
- "--leader-elect=true"
|
||||

```
|
||||
|
||||
## VolumeReplicationClass and VolumeReplication
|
||||
|
||||
### VolumeReplicationClass
|
||||
|
||||
*VolumeReplicationClass* is a cluster scoped resource that contains
|
||||
driver related configuration parameters. It holds the storage admin
|
||||
information required for the volume replication operator.
|
||||
|
||||
### VolumeReplication
|
||||
|
||||
*VolumeReplication* is a namespaced resource that contains references
|
||||
to storage object to be replicated and VolumeReplicationClass
|
||||
corresponding to the driver providing replication.
|
||||
|
||||
>:bulb: For more information, please refer to the
|
||||
> [volume-replication-operator](https://github.com/csi-addons/volume-replication-operator).
|
||||
|
||||
Let's say we have a *PVC* (rbd-pvc) in BOUND state; created using
|
||||
*StorageClass* with `Retain` reclaimPolicy.
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
kubectl get pvc --context=cluster-1
|
||||
|
||||
NAME STATUS VOLUME CAPACITY ACCESS MODES STORAGECLASS AGE
|
||||
rbd-pvc Bound pvc-65dc0aac-5e15-4474-90f4-7a3532c621ec 1Gi RWO csi-rbd-sc 44s
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
* Create Volume Replication Class on cluster-1
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
$cat <<EOF | kubectl --context=cluster1 apply -f -
|
||||
apiVersion: replication.storage.openshift.io/v1alpha1
|
||||
kind: VolumeReplicationClass
|
||||

|
||||
name: rbd-volumereplicationclass
|
||||
spec:
|
||||
provisioner: rbd.csi.ceph.com
|
||||
parameters:
|
||||
mirroringMode: snapshot
|
||||
schedulingInterval: "12m"
|
||||
schedulingStartTime: "16:18:43"
|
||||
replication.storage.openshift.io/replication-secret-name: csi-rbd-secret
|
||||
replication.storage.openshift.io/replication-secret-namespace: default
|
||||
EOF
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
>:bulb: **Note:** The `schedulingInterval` can be specified in formats of
|
||||
> minutes, hours or days using suffix `m`,`h` and `d` respectively.
|
||||
> The optional schedulingStartTime can be specified using the ISO 8601
|
||||
> time format.
|
||||
|
||||
* Once VolumeReplicationClass is created,create a Volume Replication for
|
||||
the PVC which we intend to replicate to secondary cluster.
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
$cat <<EOF | kubectl --context=cluster-1 apply -f -
|
||||
apiVersion: replication.storage.openshift.io/v1alpha1
|
||||
kind: VolumeReplication
|
||||
metadata:
|
||||
name: pvc-volumereplication
|
||||
spec:
|
||||
volumeReplicationClass: rbd-volumereplicationclass
|
||||
replicationState: primary
|
||||
dataSource:
|
||||
apiGroup: ""
|
||||
kind: PersistentVolumeClaim
|
||||
name: rbd-pvc # Name of the PVC to which mirroring to be enabled.
|
||||
EOF
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
>:memo: *VolumeReplication* is a namespace scoped object. Thus,
|
||||
> it should be created in the same namespace as of PVC.
|
||||
|
||||
`replicationState` is the state of the volume being referenced.
|
||||
Possible values are primary, secondary, and resync.
|
||||
|
||||
* `primary` denotes that the volume is primary.
|
||||
* `secondary` denotes that the volume is secondary.
|
||||
* `resync` denotes that the volume needs to be resynced.
|
||||
|
||||
To check VolumeReplication CR status:
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml
|
||||
kubectl get volumereplication pvc-volumereplication --context=cluster-1 -oyaml
|
||||

```
|
||||
|
||||
* Take a backup of PVC and PV object on primary cluster(cluster-1)
|
||||
|
||||
* Take backup of the PVC `rbd-pvc`
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
kubectl get pvc rbd-pvc -oyaml >pvc-backup.yaml
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
* Take a backup of the PV, corresponding to the PVC
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
kubectl get pv/pvc-65dc0aac-5e15-4474-90f4-7a3532c621ec -oyaml >pv_backup.yaml
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
>:bulb: We can also take backup using external tools like **Velero**.
|
||||
> Refer [velero documentation]((https://velero.io/docs/main/)) for more information.
|
||||
|
||||
* Restoring on the secondary cluster(cluster-2)
|
||||
|
||||
* Create storageclass on the secondary cluster
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
kubectl create -f examples/rbd/storageclass.yaml --context=cluster-2
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
* If Persistent Volumes and Claims are created manually
|
||||
on the secondary cluster, remove the `claimRef` on the
|
||||
backed up PV objects in yaml files; so that the PV can
|
||||
get bound to the new claim on the secondary cluster.
|
||||
|
||||
```yaml

||||
|
||||
## Planned Migration
|
||||
|
||||
> Use cases: Datacenter maintenance, Technology refresh, Disaster avoidance, etc.
|
||||
|
||||
### Failover
|
||||
|
||||
The failover operation is the process of switching production to a
|
||||
backup facility (normally your recovery site). In the case of Failover,
|
||||
access to the image on the primary site should be stopped.
|
||||
The image should now be made *primary* on the secondary cluster so that
|
||||
the access can be resumed there.
|
||||
|
||||
:memo: As mentioned in the pre-requisites, periodic or one time backup of
|
||||
the application should be available for restore on the secondary site (cluster-b).
|
||||
|
||||
Follow the below steps for planned migration of workload from primary
|
||||
cluster to secondary cluster:
|
||||
|
||||
* Scale down all the application pods which are using the
|
||||
mirrored PVC on the Primary Cluster
|
||||
* Take a back up of PVC and PV object from the primary cluster.
|
||||
This can be done using some backup tools like
|
||||
[velero](https://velero.io/docs/main/).
|
||||
* Update `replicationState` to `secondary` in VolumeReplication CR at Primary Site.
|
||||
When the operator sees this change, it will pass the information down to the
|
||||
driver via GRPC request to mark the dataSource as `secondary`.
|
||||
* If you are manually recreating the PVC and PV on the secondary cluster,
|
||||
remove the `claimRef` section in the PV objects.
|
||||
* Recreate the storageclass, PVC, and PV objects on the secondary site.
|
||||
* As you are creating the static binding between PVC and PV, a new PV won’t
|
||||
be created here, the PVC will get bind to the existing PV.
|
||||
* Create the VolumeReplicationClass on the secondary site.
|
||||
* Create the VolumeReplications for all the PVC’s for which mirroring
|
||||
is enabled
|
||||
* `replicationState` should be `primary` for all the PVC’s on
|
||||
the secondary site.
|
||||
* Check whether the image is marked `primary` on the secondary site
|
||||
by verifying it in VolumeReplication CR status.
|
||||
* Once the Image is marked as `primary`, the PVC is now ready
|
||||
to be used. Now, we can scale up the applications to use the PVC.
|
||||
|
||||
>:memo: **WARNING**: In Async Disaster recovery use case, we don't
|
||||
> get the complete data. We will only get the crash-consistent data
|
||||
> based on the snapshot interval time.
|
||||
|
||||
### Failback
|
||||
|
||||
To perform a failback operation to primary cluster in case of planned migration
|
||||
, just repeat the Failback steps in vice-versa.
|
||||
|
||||
>:memo: **Remember**: We can skip the backup-restore operations
|
||||
> in case of failback if the required yamls are already present on
|
||||
> the primary cluster. Any new PVCs will still need to be restored on the
|
||||
> primary site.
|
||||
|
||||
## Disaster Recovery
|
||||
|
||||
> Use cases: Natural disasters, Power failures, System failures, and crashes, etc.
|
||||
|
||||
### Failover (abrupt shutdown)
|
||||
|
||||
In case of Disaster recovery, create VolumeReplication CR at the Secondary Site.
|
||||
Since the connection to the Primary Site is lost, the operator automatically
|
||||
sends a GRPC request down to the driver to forcefully mark the dataSource as `primary`.
|
||||
|
||||
* If you are manually creating the PVC and PV on the secondary cluster, remove
|
||||
the claimRef section in the PV objects.
|
||||
* Create the storageclass, PVC, and PV objects on the secondary site.
|
||||
* As you are creating the static binding between PVC and PV, a new PV won’t be
|
||||
created here, the PVC will get bind to the existing PV.
|
||||
* Create the VolumeReplicationClass and VolumeReplication CR on the secondary site.
|
||||
* Check whether the image is `primary` on secondary site, by verifying in
|
||||
the VolumeReplication CR status.
|
||||
* Once the Image is marked as `primary`, the PVC is now ready to be used. Now,
|
||||
we can scale up the applications to use the PVC.
|
||||
|
||||
### Failback (post-disaster recovery)
|
||||
|
||||
Once the failed cluster is recovered on the primary site and you want to failback
|
||||
from secondary site, follow the below steps:
|
||||
|
||||
* Update the VolumeReplication CR replicationState
|
||||
from `primary` to `secondary` on the primary site.
|
||||
* Scale down the applications on the secondary site.
|
||||
* Update the VolumeReplication CR replicationState from `primary` to
|
||||
`secondary` in secondary site.
|
||||
* On the primary site, verify that the VolumeReplication status is marked as
|
||||
volume ready to use
|
||||
* Once the volume is marked to ready to use, change the replicationState state
|
||||
from `secondary` to `primary` in primary site.
|
||||
* Scale up the applications again on the primary site.
