Dear All We have the same question here, if anyone can help ... Thank you! We did not find any documentation about the steps to reset & restart the sync. Especially the implications of 'bilog trim', 'mdlog trim' and 'datalog trim'. Our secondary zone is read-only. Both master and secondary zone on Nautilus (master 14.2.9 and secondary 14.2.12). Can someone also clarify following points? Many thanks in advance! 1) Is it safe to use these 3 commands (bilog trim, mdlog trim, datalog trim) on the master ? Are the bi logs exclusively used for the sync or are they needed even without multi-site? (mdlog/datalog are obviously only for multi-site) 2) Can we run these 3 commands during the sync or do we need first to stop all instances on the secondary zone ? In the latter case, do we need to stop the client traffic and wait on md/data sync to catch up prior to stop the secondary zone instances? 3) Can we then restart the instances on the secondary zone and expect rgw sync to run correctly ? Or do we need first to run 'metadata sync init' and 'data sync init' on the secondary zone ? (to trigger a full sync) Or is it necessary to delete all rgw pools on the secondary zone ? 4) And regarding the full sync, is it verifying the full object data, or only object size and mtime? If we update the secondary zone to Nautilus 14.2.18 and enable rgw_sync_obj_etag_verify, does a full sync will also detect ETag mismatches on objects that are already present on the secondary zone?

Hi, For testing purposes, I configured RGW multisite synchronization between two ceph mimic 13.2.6 clusters (I also tried: 13.2.5). Now I want to reset all current settings and configure replication from scratch. Data(pools, buckets) on the master zone will not be deleted. What has been done: 1) Deleted the secondary zone # radosgw-admin zone delete --rgw-zone=dc2_zone 2) Removed the secondary zone from zonegroup # radosgw-admin zonegroup remove --rgw-zonegroup=master_zonegroup --rgw-zone=dc2_zone 3) Commited changes # radosgw-admin period update --commit 4) Trimmed all datalogs on master zone # radosgw-admin datalog trim --start-date="2019-06-12 12:01:54" --end-date="2019-06-22 12:01:56" 5) Trimmed all error sync on master zone # radosgw-admin sync error trim --start-date="2019-06-07 07:19:26" --end-date="2019-06-22 15:59:00" 6) Deleted and recreated empty pools on secondary cluster: dc2_zone.rgw.control dc2_zone.rgw.meta dc2_zone.rgw.log dc2_zone.rgw.buckets.index dc2_zone.rgw.buckets.data Should I clear any other data / metadata in the master zone? Can data be kept somewhere in the master zone that may affect the new replication statement? I'm trying to track down a problem with blocked shards synchronization. Thank you in advance for your help. Best regards, Piotr Osiński << ATT00001.txt (0.4KB) (0.4KB) >>
