14. Mirror Management Console.

The mirror management console is provided only for the individual mirror resources managed by MCCS.
The mirror management console operates independently from the engine logic of MCCS, so during operation, it can collide with MCCS.
The mirror management console informs users of the mirror volume status and the capacity of the mirror in use. You can change the bandwidth and the mirror network addresses in it.

Decription

Connect

Connect communication path between two nodes for mirror disk.

DisconnectDisconnect communication path between two nodes for mirror disk.
Forceful sync

The mirror status is changed to RESYNCING and full synchronization from source to target is initiated.

Description

Virtual device pathShows the mounting point.

Meta device path

Shows the meta device.
Meta device path cannot be changed if it is online.

Resynchronization ratio

Set the resynchronization ratio. (Setting range: 0 - 640MB)
Send Buffer SizeSet a size of a buffer for asynchronization transfer of data.
Congestion FillIn asynchronization mode, it logs as OOS if reaches for the size set here.
Mirror network address IP address of mirror disk between nodes in a cluster.


The following attributes work just on asynchronization mode for data transfer, and are applied through the drbaadm down, up command after modifying their values: The Send Buffer Size, Congestion Fill attributes.

Mirror IP address is able to be edited. But this can be done when mirror state is paused.
If mirror status is MIRRORING when you edit the mirror IP address, the status changed to PAUSE automatically. Select the resume from mirror menu to resume the mirroring after done this.




Policy for recovering auto split brain

Node Priority

policy

Description
Secondary-SecondaryToss the last primary nodeStart synchronization at the node that was primary before a split brain occurred.
Toss the first primary nodeStart synchronization at the node that was second primary before a split brain occurred.
Toss the one with small changesStart synchronization at the node with greater changes when a split brain occurred.
Toss the one with no changesIf only one node has changes, start synchronization on it.
If the both nodes have no changes, synchronize either one.
If the both node have changes, disconnect communication. 
DisconnectCut off a connection without auto recovery.

Primary-Secondary



Consensus

Apply the same recovery policy that is applicable when all the nodes are secondary.
If auto recovery fails, disconnect communication. 
Toss secondary nodeMake the secondary as a sacrifice node.
DisconnectCut off a connection without auto recovery.

Primary-Primary

DisconnectCut off a connection without auto recovery.
