Hi,
I have 2 questions about Disaster Recovery with Ansible.
1)
regarding Ansible failover, AFAIK, a mapping file must be generated before
running failover.
then, should I periodically generate a new mapping file to reflect the
latest structure of the environment?
2)
I guess Ansible failover uses OVF_STOREs to restore the environment and
OVF_STOREs in storage domains are updated every 1 min as default.
then, how to recover the changes made in the meantime?
3:23 a.m.
Hi Henry,
Answers inside!
Have a nice weekend :)

Yes, generate it while your primary environment is up-and-running.
Regenerate after the environment structure changes.
Although no need to manually update it with the secondary site specific
values (which are by default commented out) until you actually want to run
the failover flow, just keep the created mapping skeleton file.

AFAIK you might be "back in time" to the latest time when the OVF_STOREs
were updated.
Not sure there is a solution.
I will verify that for you after the weekend.

Hi Henry,
A few clarifications:
1) OVF is updated every 60 *minutes* by default:
$ ./engine-config --get OvfUpdateIntervalInMinutes
OvfUpdateIntervalInMinutes: 60 version: general
You can update that to another value, i.e., 5 minutes (engine restart is
required afterwards):
$ ./engine-config --set OvfUpdateIntervalInMinutes=5
$ ./engine-config --get OvfUpdateIntervalInMinutes
OvfUpdateIntervalInMinutes: 5 version: general
2) If the primary engine crashed and some of the environment structure
changes were done after the last OVF update, they will be "lost" - that is
will not be recreated on the secondary engine.
I'm not aware of any solution for that, except a manual "Update OVFs"
retrigger on a Storage Domain.

Thank you!
