Use Cases for Oracle Solaris ZFS Snapshot Replication

This appendix provides example use cases for configuring the Oracle Solaris ZFS Snapshots replication in disaster recovery framework.

Configuration Assumptions of Use Cases

The Oracle Solaris ZFS snapshot replication is set up using the zfs_snap_geo_register setup script. This examples uses a setup consisting of clusters paris and newyork that are in a partnership.

The following configuration must exist in the cluster before running the setup script:

  • Clusters paris and newyork are in a partnership known as paris-newyork. Primary cluster paris has two nodes: paris-node-1 and paris-node-2. Secondary cluster newyork has two nodes: newyork-node-1 and newyork-node-2.

  • The application resource group app1-rg1 is configured on both the partner clusters.

  • On each cluster, the app1-rg1 resource group uses a HAStoragePlus resource to manage the ZFS storage pool that the application uses. In the primary cluster, the application uses the HAStoragePlus resource par-app1-hasp1 to manage the ZFS storage pool srcpool1. Similarly, the HAStoragePlus resource ny-app1-hasp1 is used on the secondary cluster to manage the ZFS storage pool targpool1.

  • The application app1-rg1 on the primary cluster paris uses the ZFS dataset srcpool1/app1-ds1, and the application app1-rg1 on the secondary cluster newyork uses the ZFS dataset targpool1/app1-ds1-copy.

  • On both clusters, the application uses the same application user appuser1 to create and access application data stored in the ZFS datasets that the application uses.
