|
.Nd "Highly Available Storage daemon"
|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.Nm
|
|
.Op Fl dFh
|
|
.Op Fl c Ar config
|
|
.Op Fl P Ar pidfile
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
daemon is responsible for managing highly available GEOM providers.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Nm
|
|
allows the transpaent storage of data on two physically separated machines
|
|
connected over a TCP/IP network.
|
|
Only one machine (cluster node) can actively use storage provided by
|
|
.Nm .
|
|
This machine is called primary.
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
daemon operates on block level, which makes it transparent to file
|
|
systems and applications.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
There is one main
|
|
.Nm
|
|
daemon which starts new worker process as soon as a role for the given
|
|
resource is changed to primary or as soon as a role for the given
|
|
resource is changed to secondary and remote (primary) node will
|
|
successfully connect to it.
|
|
Every worker process gets a new process title (see
|
|
.Xr setproctitle 3 ) ,
|
|
which describes its role and resource it controls.
|
|
The exact format is:
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
hastd: <resource name> (<role>)
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If (and only if)
|
|
.Nm
|
|
operates in primary role for the given resource, a corresponding
|
|
.Pa /dev/hast/<name>
|
|
disk-like device (GEOM provider) is created.
|
|
File systems and applications can use this provider to send I/O
|
|
requests to.
|
|
Every write, delete and flush operation
|
|
.Dv ( BIO_WRITE , BIO_DELETE , BIO_FLUSH )
|
|
is sent to the local component and replicated on the remote (secondary) node
|
|
if it is available.
|
|
Read operations
|
|
.Dv ( BIO_READ )
|
|
are handled locally unless an I/O error occurs or the local version of the data
|
|
is not up-to-date yet (synchronization is in progress).
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
daemon uses the GEOM Gate class to receive I/O requests from the
|
|
in-kernel GEOM infrastructure.
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm geom_gate.ko
|
|
module is loaded automatically if the kernel was not compiled with the
|
|
following option:
|
|
.Bd -ragged -offset indent
|
|
.Cd "options GEOM_GATE"
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The connection between two
|
|
.Nm
|
|
daemons is always initiated from the one running as primary to the one
|
|
running as secondary.
|
|
When the primary
|
|
.Nm
|
|
is unable to connect or the connection fails, it will try to re-establish
|
|
the connection every few seconds.
|
|
Once the connection is established, the primary
|
|
.Nm
|
|
will synchronize every extent that was modified during connection outage
|
|
to the secondary
|
|
.Nm .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
It is possible that in the case of a connection outage between the nodes the
|
|
.Nm
|
|
primary role for the given resource will be configured on both nodes.
|
|
This in turn leads to incompatible data modifications.
|
|
Such a condition is called a split-brain and cannot be automatically
|
|
resolved by the
|
|
.Nm
|
|
daemon as this will lead most likely to data corruption or loss of
|
|
important changes.
|
|
Even though it cannot be fixed by
|
|
.Nm
|
|
itself, it will be detected and a further connection between independently
|
|
modified nodes will not be possible.
|
|
Once this situation is manually resolved by an administrator, the resource
|
|
on one of the nodes can be initialized (erasing local data), which makes
|
|
a connection to the remote node possible again.
|
|
Connection of the freshly initialized component will trigger full resource
|
|
synchronization.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
A
|
|
.Nm
|
|
daemon never picks its role automatically.
|
|
The role has to be configured with the
|
|
.Xr hastctl 8
|
|
control utility by additional software like
|
|
.Nm ucarp
|
|
or
|
|
.Nm heartbeat
|
|
that can reliably manage role separation and switch secondary node to
|
|
primary role in case of the primary's failure.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
daemon can be started with the following command line arguments:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width ".Fl P Ar pidfile"
|
|
.It Fl c Ar config
|
|
Specify alternative location of the configuration file.
|
|
The default location is
|
|
.Pa /etc/hast.conf .
|
|
.It Fl d
|
|
Print or log debugging information.
|
|
This option can be specified multiple times to raise the verbosity
|
|
level.
|
|
.It Fl F
|
|
Start the
|
|
.Nm
|
|
daemon in the foreground.
|
|

|
|

|
|
.It Fl h
|
|

|
|
.Nm
|
|
usage message.
|
|
.It Fl P Ar pidfile
|
|
Specify alternative location of a file where main process PID will be
|
|

|
|
.Pa /var/run/hastd.pid .
