Example: Setting up Db2 HADR in a single OpenShift project

This example has one primary, one principal standby, and one auxiliary standby database, all located in the same OpenShift project.

Because the services were created by using Setting up the HADR configuration for Db2, the ports for each database are:

  • Primary: 60006
  • Standby: 60007
  • Aux1: 60008
  1. Run the following command to invoke the setup_config_hadr script on the primary database Db2® pod:
    oc exec -it c-db2oltp-primary-db2u-0 -- setup_config_hadr --db-role primary --primary-name db2oltp-primary --standby-name db2oltp-standby --primary-port 60006 --standby-port 60007 --aux1-name db2oltp-aux --aux1-port 60008 --etcd-host my-etcd-client.my-etcd --etcd-port 2379

    The output of the command contains the HADR configuration settings:

    ################################################################################
    ###        Creating HADR configuration file for HADR setup.                  ###
    ################################################################################
    
        Database role -- primary
        primary database formation_id -- db2oltp-primary
    
    HADR_REMOTE_INST db2inst1
    HADR_TIMEOUT 120
    HADR_SYNCMODE NEARSYNC
    HADR_PEER_WINDOW 120
    LOGINDEXBUILD ON
    HADR_LOCAL_HOST c-db2oltp-primary-db2u-0|c-db2oltp-primary-hadr-svc
    HADR_LOCAL_SVC 60006|60006
    HADR_REMOTE_HOST c-db2oltp-standby-hadr-svc
    HADR_REMOTE_SVC 60007
    HADR_TARGET_LIST c-db2oltp-standby-hadr-svc:60007|c-db2oltp-aux-hadr-svc:60008
    etcd: my-etcd-client.my-etcd:2379
    

    If the setup is successful, the following message displays at the end of the script output:

    ################################################################################
    ###        The HADR setup command completed the primary node setup.          ###
    ################################################################################
    
  2. Copy the database backup image and keystore file in the backup storage area (/mnt/backup/) from the primary database to the standby databases by using rsync.
    # Copy from primary database to a directory on the host called /tmp/hadr
    oc rsync c-db2oltp-primary-db2u-0:/mnt/backup/ /tmp/hadr
    
    # Copy from the /tmp/hadr directory on the host to the standby databases
    oc rsync /tmp/hadr/ c-db2oltp-standby-db2u-0:/mnt/backup/ 
    oc rsync /tmp/hadr/ c-db2oltp-aux-db2u-0:/mnt/backup/ 
    
  3. Run the following command to invoke the setup_config_hadr script on the principal standby database Db2 pod:
    oc exec -it c-db2oltp-standby-db2u-0 -- setup_config_hadr --db-role standby --primary-name db2oltp-primary --standby-name db2oltp-standby --primary-port 60006 --standby-port 60007 --aux1-name db2oltp-aux --aux1-port 60008 --etcd-host my-etcd-client.my-etcd --etcd-port 2379

    The output of the command:

    ################################################################################
    ###        Creating HADR configuration file for HADR setup.                  ###
    ################################################################################

    HADR_REMOTE_HOST c-db2oltp-primary-hadr-svc
    HADR_REMOTE_SVC 60006
    HADR_TARGET_LIST c-db2oltp-primary-hadr-svc:60006|c-db2oltp-aux-hadr-svc:60008
    etcd: my-etcd-client.my-etcd:2379
    
  4. Run the following command to invoke the setup_config_hadr script on the auxiliary standby database Db2 pod:
    oc exec -it c-db2oltp-aux-db2u-0 -- setup_config_hadr --db-role aux1 --primary-name db2oltp-primary --standby-name db2oltp-standby --primary-port 60006 --standby-port 60007 --aux1-name db2oltp-aux --aux1-port 60008 --etcd-host my-etcd-client.my-etcd --etcd-port 2379
