9장. 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.
- Regional-DR: Cross Region protection with minimal potential 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.

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.
You can now easily set up Metropolitan disaster recovery solutions for workloads based on OpenShift virtualization technology using OpenShift Data Foundation. For more information, see the knowledgebase article.
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.
Ensure that the primary managed cluster (Site-1) is co-situated with the active RHACM hub cluster while the passive hub cluster is situated along with the secondary managed cluster (Site-2). Alternatively, the active RHACM hub cluster can be placed in a neutral site (site-3) that is not impacted by the failures of either of the primary managed cluster at Site-1 or the secondary cluster at Site-2. In this situation, if a passive hub cluster is used it can be placed with the secondary cluster at Site-2.
참고Hub recovery for Metro-DR is a Technology Preview feature and is subject to Technology Preview support limitations.
