GlusterFS 9 : Geo Replication2021/07/09

 
Configure GlusterFS Geo Replication to create a replication volume of a GlusterFS volume on a remote site.
This configuration is general Primary-Replica (read only replica) settings.
For example, Configure Geo Replication to a Gluster Volume [vol_distributed] like an example of the link here.
Primary and Replica are both in internal network on this example, though, it's possible to configure Geo Replication over the internet.

[1]
Create a volume for replication on Replica Nodes (node03, node04), refer to here.
It proceeds with a volume named [secondary-vol_distributed] on this example.
[2] On all Nodes, Install Geo replication packages.
[root@node01 ~]#
dnf --enablerepo=centos-gluster9,powertools -y install glusterfs-geo-replication

[3] On all Nodes, if SELinux is enabled, change policy.
[root@node01 ~]#
setsebool -P rsync_full_access on

[root@node01 ~]#
setsebool -P rsync_client on

[4] On a Node that makes replication volume, change settings of the volume.
[root@node03 ~]#
gluster volume set secondary-vol_distributed performance.quick-read off

volume set: success
[5] On a Node that makes primary volume, set SSH key-pair.
It proceeds with [root] account and with no-passphrase on this example.
[root@node01 ~]#
ssh-keygen

Generating public/private rsa key pair.
Enter file in which to save the key (/root/.ssh/id_rsa):
Created directory '/root/.ssh'.
Enter passphrase (empty for no passphrase):
Enter same passphrase again:
Your identification has been saved in /root/.ssh/id_rsa.
Your public key has been saved in /root/.ssh/id_rsa.pub.
The key fingerprint is:
SHA256:Pj/uw4cp7D5sNahM+NeiGLDYKqu77jcJDEeRWghMGso root@node01.srv.world
The key's randomart image is:

[root@node01 ~]#
ssh-copy-id node01

root@node01's password:

Number of key(s) added: 1

Now try logging into the machine, with:   "ssh 'node01'"
and check to make sure that only the key(s) you wanted were added.

[root@node01 ~]#
ssh-copy-id node02

[root@node01 ~]#
ssh-copy-id node03

[root@node01 ~]#
ssh-copy-id node04

[6] On a Node that makes primary volume, create Geo replication sessions.
[root@node01 ~]#
gluster system:: execute gsec_create

Common secret pub file present at /var/lib/glusterd/geo-replication/common_secret.pem.pub
# gluster volume geo-replication [primary volume] [(replication host)::(replication volume)] ***

[root@node01 ~]#
gluster volume geo-replication vol_distributed node03::secondary-vol_distributed create push-pem

Creating geo-replication session between vol_distributed & node03::secondary-vol_distributed has been successful
[7] On a Node that makes primary volume, and also On a Node that makes replication volume, enable shared storage feature.
[root@node01 ~]#
gluster volume set all cluster.enable-shared-storage enable

volume set: success
[8] On a Node that makes primary volume, configure meta-volume and start Geo replication.
After starting Geo replication, try to wtite files on a primary volume to verify replication works normally.
# gluster volume geo-replication [primary volume] [(replication host)::(replication volume)] ***

[root@node01 ~]#
gluster volume geo-replication vol_distributed node03::secondary-vol_distributed config use_meta_volume true

geo-replication config updated successfully
[root@node01 ~]#
gluster volume geo-replication vol_distributed node03::secondary-vol_distributed start

Starting geo-replication session between vol_distributed & node03::secondary-vol_distributed has been successful
[root@node01 ~]#
gluster volume geo-replication vol_distributed node03::secondary-vol_distributed status
