You must decide the maximum size of a snapshot ahead of time,however you can dynamically change this later. The size of a daily snapshot is dependent on the amount of data you change daily in your online filesystem. It is also likely that a two-day old snapshot will be twice as big as a one-day old snapshot. You can create as many snapshots as you have room for in your volume group. You can also dynamically add disks to the volume group if needed. The snapshots of the target disks (MDT, OSTs) should be taken at the same point in time, making sure that cronjob updating "main" is not running, since that is the only job writing to the disks. cfs21:~# modprobe dm-snapshot cfs21:~# lvcreate -L50M -s -n MDTb1 /dev/volgroup/MDT Rounding up size to full physical extent 52.00 MB Logical volume "MDTb1" created cfs21:~# lvcreate -L50M -s -n OSTb1 /dev/volgroup/OST0 Rounding up size to full physical extent 52.00 MB Logical volume "OSTb1" created After the snapshots are taken, you can continue to back up new/changed files to "main". The snapshots will not contain the new files. cfs21:~# cp /etc/termcap /mnt/main cfs21:~# ls /mnt/main fstab passwd termcap 15-8 Lustre 1.6 Operations Manual • September 2008
15.3.4 Restoring From Old Snapshot 1. Rename the snapshot Rename the snapshot filesystem from "main" to "back" so that you can mount it without unmounting "main". This is not a requirement. Use the “--reformat” flag to tunefs.lustre to force the name change. cfs21:~# tunefs.lustre --reformat --fsname=back --writeconf /dev/volgroup/MDTb1 checking for existing Lustre data found Lustre data Reading CONFIGS/mountdata Read previous values: Target: main-MDT0000 Index: 0 Lustre FS: main Mount type: ldiskfs Flags: 0x5 (MDT MGS ) Persistent mount opts: errors=remount-ro,iopen_nopriv,user_xattr Parameters: Permanent disk data: Target: back-MDT0000 Index: 0 Lustre FS: back Mount type: ldiskfs Flags: 0x105 (MDT MGS writeconf ) Persistent mount opts: errors=remount-ro,iopen_nopriv,user_xattr Parameters: Writing CONFIGS/mountdata cfs21:~# tunefs.lustre --reformat --fsname=back --writeconf /dev/volgroup/OSTb1 checking for existing Lustre data found Lustre data Reading CONFIGS/mountdata Read previous values: Target: main-OST0000 Index: 0 Lustre FS: main Mount type: ldiskfs Flags: 0x2 (OST ) Persistent mount opts: errors=remount-ro,extents,mballoc Parameters: mgsnode=192.168.0.21@tcp Chapter 15 Backup and Restore 15-9
