Metro-DR
Metro-DR is composed of Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes (RHACM), IBM Storage Ceph and Fusion 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.
Important: You can now easily set up Metropolitan
disaster recovery solutions for workloads based on OpenShift virtualization technology using Fusion Data Foundation. For more information, see the knowledgebase
article.
Prerequisites
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.
Note: Hub recovery is a Technology Preview feature and is subject to Technology
Preview support limitations.
