Managing replications

Introduction

DCT 9.0.0 introduces the feature to differentiate between the replicated objects and original objects in case of a parent and replicated engines, both are registered with DCT.

Prerequisites

One parent and one replicated engine is required with few replicated dSources and VDBs.

User interface

  • Convenient separation between the replicated objects(VDB/dSource/environments) and original objects.

  • Users can filter the replicated object using the advanced filter.

  • All the actions on the replicated objects are disabled.

  • The status of the replicated objects are N/A.

  • On the VDB provisioning wizard, replicated objects(VDB/dSources) are marked as replicated.

API

Expand the section below to show search APIs that are updated to return three additional fields: is_replica, namespace_id, and namespace_name. These fields are described below.

Search APIs

  1. Sources
    GET:  /sources
    GET: /sources/{sourceId}
    POST: /sources/search

  2. VDBs
    GET: /vdbs
    GET: /vdbs/{vdbId}
    POST: /vdbs/search

  3. dSources
    GET: /dsources
    GET: /dsources/{dsourceId}
    POST: /dsources/search

  4. CDBs
    GET: /cdbs
    GET: /cdbs/{cdbId}
    POST: /cdbs/search

  5. VCDBs
    GET: /vcdbs
    GET: /vcdbs/{vcdbId}

    POST: /virtualization-policies/search

  10. Snapshots
    GET: /snapshots
    GET: /snapshots/{snapshotId}
    POST: /snapshots/search

  1. is_replica: Boolean telling that this object id replicated or not.

  2. namespace_id: This field will only come for replicated objects and is essentially the namespace id of the replicated object.

  3. namespace_name: This field will only come for replicated objects and is essentially the namespace name of the replicated object.
