第9章 Disaster Recovery
Disaster Recovery (DR) helps an organization to recover and resume business critical functions or normal operations when there are disruptions or disasters. OpenShift Data Foundation provides High Availability (HA) & DR solutions for stateful apps which are broadly categorized into two broad categories:
- Metro-DR: Single Region and cross data center protection with no data loss.
- Disaster Recovery with stretch cluster: Single OpenShift Data Foundation cluster is stretched between two different locations to provide the storage infrastructure with disaster recovery capabilities.
- Regional-DR: Cross Region protection with minimal potential data loss.
9.1. Metro-DR
Metropolitan disaster recovery (Metro-DR) is composed of Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes (RHACM), Red Hat Ceph Storage and OpenShift Data Foundation components to provide application and data mobility across OpenShift Container Platform clusters.
This release of Metro-DR solution provides volume persistent data and metadata replication across sites that are geographically dispersed. In the public cloud these would be similar to protecting from an Availability Zone failure. Metro-DR ensures business continuity during the unavailability of a data center with no data loss. This solution is entitled with Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management (RHACM) and OpenShift Data Foundation Advanced SKUs and related bundles.
Prerequisites
Disaster Recovery features supported by Red Hat OpenShift Data Foundation require all of the following prerequisites in order to successfully implement a Disaster Recovery solution:
- A valid Red Hat OpenShift Data Foundation Advanced entitlement
- A valid Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes subscription
To know how subscriptions for OpenShift Data Foundation work, see knowledgebase article on OpenShift Data Foundation subscriptions.
For detailed solution requirements, see Metro-DR requirements, deployment requirements for Red Hat Ceph Storage stretch cluster with arbiter and RHACM requirements.
