Configuration file is designed in a way that exactly the same file can be (and should be) used on both HAST nodes. Every line starting with # is treated as comment and ignored. .Sh CONFIGURATION FILE SYNTAX General syntax of the .Nm file is following: .Bd -literal -offset indent # Global section control listen replication timeout on { # Node section control listen } on { # Node section control listen } resource { # Resource section replication name local timeout on { # Resource-node section name # Required local # Required remote } on { # Resource-node section name # Required local # Required remote } } .Ed .Pp Most of the various available configuration parameters are optional. If parameter is not defined in the particular section, it will be inherited from the parent section. For example, if the .Ic listen parameter is not defined in the node section, it will be inherited from the global section. In case the global section does not define the .Ic listen parameter at all, the default value will be used. .Sh CONFIGURATION FILE DESCRIPTION The .Aq node argument can be replaced either by a full hostname as obtained by .Xr gethostname 3 , only first part of the hostname, or by node's UUID as found in the .Va kern.hostuuid .Xr sysctl 8 variable. .Pp The following statements are available: .Bl -tag -width ".Ic xxxx" .It Ic control Aq addr .Pp Address for communication with .Xr hastctl 8 . Each of the following examples defines the same control address: .Bd -literal -offset indent uds:///var/run/hastctl unix:///var/run/hastctl /var/run/hastctl .Ed .Pp The default value is .Pa uds:///var/run/hastctl . .It Ic listen Aq addr .Pp Address to listen on in form of: .Bd -literal -offset indent protocol://protocol-specific-address .Ed .Pp Each of the following examples defines the same listen address: .Bd -literal -offset indent 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0:8457 tcp://0.0.0.0 tcp://0.0.0.0:8457 tcp4://0.0.0.0 tcp4://0.0.0.0:8457 .Ed .Pp The default value is .Pa tcp4://0.0.0.0:8457 . .It Ic replication Aq mode .Pp Replication mode should be one of the following: .Bl -tag -width ".Ic xxxx" .It Ic memsync .Pp Report the write operation as completed when local write completes and when the remote node acknowledges the data receipt, but before it actually stores the data. The data on remote node will be stored directly after sending acknowledgement. This mode is intended to reduce latency, but still provides a very good reliability. The only situation where some small amount of data could be lost is when the data is stored on primary node and sent to the secondary. Secondary node then acknowledges data receipt and primary reports success to an application. However, it may happen that the secondary goes down before the received data is really stored locally. Before secondary node returns, primary node dies entirely. When the secondary node comes back to life it becomes the new primary. Unfortunately some small amount of data which was confirmed to be stored to the application was lost. The risk of such a situation is very small. The .Ic memsync replication mode is currently not implemented. .It Ic fullsync .Pp Mark the write operation as completed when local as well as remote write completes. This is the safest and the slowest replication mode. The .Ic fullsync replication mode is the default. .It Ic async .Pp The write operation is reported as complete right after the local write completes. This is the fastest and the most dangerous replication mode. This mode should be used when replicating to a distant node where latency is too high for other modes. The .Ic async replication mode is currently not implemented. .El .It Ic timeout Aq seconds .Pp Connection timeout in seconds. The default value is .Va 5 . .It Ic name Aq name .Pp GEOM provider name that will appear as .Pa /dev/hast/ . If name is not defined, resource name will be used as provider name. .It Ic local Aq path .Pp Path to the local component which will be used as backend provider for the resource. This can be either GEOM provider or regular file. .It Ic remote Aq addr .Pp Address of the remote .Nm hastd daemon. Format is the same as for the .Ic listen statement. When operating as a primary node this address will be used to connect to the secondary node. When operating as a secondary node only connections from this address will be accepted. .Pp A special value of .Va none can be used when the remote address is not yet known (eg. the other node is not set up yet). .El .Sh FILES .Bl -tag -width ".Pa /var/run/hastctl" -compact .It Pa /etc/hast.conf The default .Nm configuration file. .It Pa /var/run/hastctl Control socket used by the .Xr hastctl 8 control utility to communicate with the .Xr hastd 8 daemon. .El .Sh EXAMPLES The example configuration file can look as follows: .Bd -literal -offset indent resource shared { local /dev/da0 on hasta { remote tcp4://10.0.0.2 } on hastb { remote tcp4://10.0.0.1 } } resource tank { on hasta { local /dev/mirror/tanka remote tcp4://10.0.0.2 } on hastb { local /dev/mirror/tankb remote tcp4://10.0.0.1 } } .Ed .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr gethostname 3 , .Xr geom 4 , .Xr hastctl 8 , .Xr hastd 8 . .Sh AUTHORS The .Nm was written by .An Pawel Jakub Dawidek Aq pjd@FreeBSD.org under sponsorship of the FreeBSD Foundation.
