[Snapsync Usage]

3 roles for snapsync usage: [master] for remote,revert and local sync [qcow2_exporter] for local qcow2 backup [qcow2_importer] import from a qcow2 file

Parameters and Usage for 3 roles:

[master]:

Parameters required: 1. src: source snapshot path. ex. /dev/mapper/vg1-snap30001 2. dst: destination device. ex. [email protected]:/dev/mapper/thin 3. meta: metadata device of pool which synced thin/thick device resides on 4. id: device ID of synced thin/thick device by cmd lvs -o+thin_id 5. uuid: uuid used to identify the source lv, recommand to use lvm uuid Parameters optional: 1. port: ssh port 2. timeout: disconnect from backup destination if this timeout time has expired 3. speed-limit: transfer speed limit, support suffix G, M, B 4. encrypt: enable aes-256-cbc encryption algorithm to protect blocks during transfer 5. resume: resume transmission from this byte offset Usage for three sub-roles: 1. Remote sync (encrypt enabled): /usr/local/bin/python snapsync.py master --port 22 --meta /dev/mapper/vg1-tp1_tmeta --id 4 --src /dev/mapper/vg1-snap30001 --dst [email protected]:/dev/mapper/thin --uuid 1 --encrypt 2. Local sync (encrypt enabled): /usr/local/bin/python snapsync.py master --port 22 --meta /dev/mapper/vg1-tp1_tmeta --id 4 --src=/dev/mapper/vg1-snap30001 --dst /dev/mapper/thin --uuid 1 --encrypt 3. Revert sync: /usr/local/bin/python revert_snapsync.py master --port 22 --meta /dev/mapper/vg1-tp1_tmeta --id 4 --src [email protected]:/dev/mapper/vg1-snap30001 --dst [email protected]:/dev/mapper/thin --uuid 1

[qcow2_exporter]:

Parameters required: 1. src: source device path. ex. /dev/mapper/vg1-snap30001 2. qcow: destination QCOW2 path. ex. /mnt/HDA_ROOT/testqcow2 3. size: source device size (in bytes) 4. meta: metadata device of pool which synced thin/thick device resides on 5. id: device ID of synced thin/thick device by cmd lvs -o+thin_id Parameters optional: 1. uuid: uuid used to identify the source lv, recommand to use lvm uuid Usage: 1. Local sync: /usr/local/bin/python snapsync.py qcow2_exporter --meta /dev/mapper/vg1-tp1_tmeta --id 4 --src /dev/mapper/vg1-snap30001 --uuid 1 --qcow /mnt/HDA_ROOT/testqcow2 --size 5368709120

[qcow2_importer]:

Parameters required: 1. src: source device path. ex. /mnt/HDA_ROOT/testqcow2 2. dst: destination device. ex. /dev/mapper/thin Parameters optional: 1. uuid: uuid used to identify the source lv, recommand to use lvm uuid Usage: 1. Local sync: /usr/local/bin/python snapsync.py qcow2_importer --dst /dev/mapper/thin --uuid 1 --src /mnt/HDA_ROOT/testqcow2
