The "ceph" name is used to locate configuration files for RBD mirroring (a la /etc/ceph/<cluster-name>.conf and /etc/ceph/<cluster-name>.client.<id>.keyring). You just need to map that cluster config file name to the remote cluster name in the RBD mirroring configuration. Additionally, starting with Nautilus, the configuration details for connecting to a remote cluster can now be stored in the monitor (via the rbd CLI and dashbaord), so there won't be any need to fiddle with configuration files for remote clusters anymore. > - The clusters share IP address space on a private, non-routed storage network Unfortunately, that is an issue since the rbd-mirror daemon needs to be able to connect to both clusters. If the two clusters are at least on different subnets and your management servers can talk to each side, you might be able to run the rbd-mirror daemon there. > > There are management servers on each side that can talk to the respective storage networks, but the storage networks cannot talk directly to each other. I recall reading, some years back, of possibly adding support for an RBD mirror proxy, which would potentially solve my issues. Has anything been done in this regard? No, I haven't really seen much demand for such support so it's never bubbled up as a priority yet. > If not, is my best bet perhaps a tertiary clusters that both can reach and do one-way replication to? > > Thanks, > > -- > Kenneth Van Alstyne > Systems Architect > Knight Point Systems, LLC > Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Business > 1775 Wiehle Avenue Suite 101 | Reston, VA 20190 > c: 228-547-8045 f: 571-266-3106 > www.knightpoint.com > DHS EAGLE II Prime Contractor: FC1 SDVOSB Track > GSA Schedule 70 SDVOSB: GS-35F-0646S > GSA MOBIS Schedule: GS-10F-0404Y > ISO 9001 / ISO 20000 / ISO 27001 / CMMI Level 3 > > Notice: This e-mail message, including any attachments, is for the sole use of the intended recipient(s) and may contain confidential and privileged information.
