Deploying a Db2 HADR configuration by using a shared volume for backup storage

When you set up an HADR configuration, you can copy assets between the primary and standby databases by using a shared persistent volume claim for backup storage.

About this task

This process creates a dynamically provisioned persistent volume that is shared between the primary and standby databases. This volume is used by the Db2 HADR custom resource definition to share the database backup and keystore .tar file between the two deployments.

Procedure

During deployment of the primary database, click the Separate locations for all data option and choose a storage class for backup storage.
When the primary database is finished deploying, deploy the standby database and choose Separate locations for all data, but for backup storage choose Use existing storage.

The web console automatically discovers and shows the persistent volume claim that is associated with the backup storage area of the primary database under Specify the storage you want to use > Claim name.

Confirm and select the expected claim name by matching the claim prefix with the identifier of the Db2 service instance for the primary database and the -backup suffix.
Complete the steps to deploy the standby database.
```
- claimName: c-db2oltp-crd-hadr-primary-backup  
  name: backup
  spec:
     resources: {} 
  type: existing
```
Ensure you use the name of the PVC determined previously as the claimName.
