Configuration Type
FSR typically supports the following configuration types:
...
1:1 Replication
1:1 replication configuration for source and target nodes.
<그림>
...
1
...
:N Replication
1: N replication configuration that simultaneously replicates one source node to multiple target nodes.
<그림>
...
N:1 Replication
N:1 replication method with multiple nodes as source and one node as target.
<그림>
...
Local Replication
This is a way to specify the source and target of replication to one node. It is used to do local backup or local migration without separate target node.

...
Shared Volume Replication
A configuration in which one source data is shared by two nodes and replicates to the target node. Shared volumes can be storage volumes in the form of SANs, shared volumes in NFS.

Configuration File
The configuration file is a json format text file that describes the configuration type and attributes of the replication. It is described as a system configuration file and a resource configuration file. The system configuration file specifies node global paths necessary for FSR operation, and the resource configuration file describes the specifics of replication such as ip address, replication target, and handler. Basically, the configuration file should be created by hand. If you want to change the properties of a running resource, modify the configuration file and apply it by executing adjust command using CLI or REST-API.
...
For details on the configuration file format, refer to Appendix C. Configuration Files.
...
System Config.
The system configuration file is a config.json file. If you do not specify a separate path, it is located in the path in %FSR_HOME%/conf/config.json.
After modifying the configuration file, run the program again or run the following update command.
fsradm config adjust
...
Resource Config.
The file format of the resource file is '*.res' and the path is specified in the 'options/resource_path' entry in the system configuration file.
The default value of resource_path is the current location ('.') and based on the location of the system configuration file, the default location is the same as the location of the config.json file.

The configuration file of an FSR is described in the json format, which describes one attribute as a key and value pair according to the json format. Depending on the type of property, it can be described in the form of object and array, with the object separated by braces and the array separated by square brackets. In addition, objects and arrays can be described in a mixture. |
Basic Config.
- Describes an ID to identify a resource.
- The replication target nodes are described in an array format in the nodes item. Describe the hostname, ip address: port in the node entry. You can also describe the name entry by IP address without describing hostname.
- The replication target is described as directories and files in the directories item. If necessary, provide additional exclusion patterns.
Connection Config.
Unless otherwise noted in the connections entry, all replicated nodes individually establish TCP connections. This is called a mesh network. In a mesh network, duplicate connections for n nodes are created by n * (n-1) / 2.
...
In the normal case, the network is replicated by configuring a mesh network instead of configuring individual connections.
Exclusion Pattern
Files that need to be excluded from the replication target can be excluded from the replication target through the exclusion pattern. Exclusion patterns can easily be described using wildcard (*,!) Symbols.
Buffer Config.
In asynchronous replication, real-time I/O changes are accumulated in the buffer and reflected in the target sequentially so that the target data can be kept up to date as long as buffering continues. Therefore, configuring a buffer is the most important aspect of FSR configuration. Before starting resources, the buffer capacity must be configured according to the operating environment.
...
Because buffers operate on a per-connection basis, for 1:N replication, you must separately specify as many as the number of connections.
Memory Buffer
Memory allocated by the kernel is limited in its available capacity. Allocating too much for the system's usable capacity can affect system performance and should be allocated at an appropriate level.
You can allocate up to several tens of gigabytes, and usually assign several gigabytes.
File Buffer
The file buffer can be allocated as much space as the space on the disk where the file buffer is located. Up to several tens of Tera Bytes can be allocated and can operate at large capacity, typically tens of gigabytes. If a file buffer is configured as a path of the system volume, it is recommended to operate as a separate disk path because file buffer read/write I/O can affect the overall system performance.
