Subject: [DISCUSS]Migration of NFS Secondary Storage to Object Store
Hi,
I Have gone through the FS
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CLOUDSTACK/Migration+of+NFS+Secondary+Storage+to+Object+Store
.
Below are my review comments:
In Migration steps:
Step2:
We also automatically increment reference count of these old templates, volumes
and snapshots on old NFS so that they cannot be recycled during our scheduled
cache store cleanup thread. Their reference count will be decremented when we
really migrate the content to S3.--In what scenarios does the old
templates/volumes/snapshots get migrated to the new S3.
[Min] As mentioned in Step 4 and Step 5, old templates will be migrated to new
S3 when you invoked copyTemplate or extractTemplate. Old volumes will be
migrated to new S3 when you invoke extractVolume.
Step3: For each new snapshot taken after migration, we will always take a full
snapshot to newly added S3, so there will no issues to coalesce delta snapshots
cross NFS and S3 stores.for the new snapshots ,full snapshot will be
taken. Will the reference count of the delta snapshots which are already
present in the NFS incremented. If that is the case then they will never get
deleted from NFS cache as a part of cache store clean up.
[Min] Yes, the reference count of the old delta snapshots present in NFS will
also be incremented. In case that customer still wants to restore back the old
snapshots and they can still do that.
At step5 : For volume, we will trigger copy of the template to the new S3
object store when user invokes ExtractVolume.β βit should be trigger copy of
volume(not template) to new S3β
[Min] Fixed in FS.
Thanks,
Manasa
