Chapter 8. Creating Disaster Recovery Policy on Hub cluster

Procedure

1. On the Hub cluster, navigate to Installed Operators in the openshift-dr-system project and click on OpenShift DR Hub Operator. You should see two available APIs, DRPolicy and DRPlacementControl.
2. Click Create instance for DRPolicy and click YAML view.

3. Save the following YAML to filename drpolicy.yaml after replacing <cluster1> and <cluster2> with the correct names of your managed clusters in RHACM. Replace <string_value> with any value (i.e. metro).

   apiVersion: ramendr.openshift.io/v1alpha1
   kind: DRPolicy
   metadata:
     name: odr-policy
   spec:
     drClusterSet:
     - name: <cluster1>
       region: <string_value>
       s3ProfileName: s3-primary
       clusterFence: Unfenced
     - name: <cluster2>
       region: <string_value>
       s3ProfileName: s3-secondary
       clusterFence: Unfenced

   Note

   There is no need to specify a namespace to create this resource because DRPolicy is a cluster-scoped resource.

4. Copy the contents of your unique drpolicy.yaml file into the YAML view. You must completely replace the original content.
5. Click Create on the YAML view screen.

6. To validate that the DRPolicy is created successfully and that the MCG object buckets can be accessed using the Secrets created earlier, run this command on the Hub cluster:

   $ oc get drpolicy odr-policy -n openshift-dr-system -o jsonpath='{.status.conditions[].reason}{"\n"}'

   Example output:
