title: CephFilesystemMirror CRD

This guide assumes you have created a Rook cluster as explained in the main Quickstart guide

Rook allows creation and updating the fs-mirror daemon through the custom resource definitions (CRDs). CephFS will support asynchronous replication of snapshots to a remote (different Ceph cluster) CephFS file system via cephfs-mirror tool. Snapshots are synchronized by mirroring snapshot data followed by creating a snapshot with the same name (for a given directory on the remote file system) as the snapshot being synchronized. For more information about user management and capabilities see the Ceph docs.

Creating daemon

To get you started, here is a simple example of a CRD to deploy an cephfs-mirror daemon.

apiVersion: ceph.rook.io/v1
kind: CephFilesystemMirror
metadata:
  name: my-fs-mirror
  namespace: rook-ceph
spec: {}

Settings

If any setting is unspecified, a suitable default will be used automatically.

FilesystemMirror metadata

• name: The name that will be used for the Ceph cephfs-mirror daemon.
• namespace: The Kubernetes namespace that will be created for the Rook cluster. The services, pods, and other resources created by the operator will be added to this namespace.

FilesystemMirror Settings

• placement: The cephfs-mirror pods can be given standard Kubernetes placement restrictions with nodeAffinity, tolerations, podAffinity, and podAntiAffinity similar to placement defined for daemons configured by the cluster CRD.
• annotations: Key value pair list of annotations to add.
• labels: Key value pair list of labels to add.
• resources: The resource requirements for the cephfs-mirror pods.
• priorityClassName: The priority class to set on the cephfs-mirror pods.

Configuring mirroring peers

In order to configure mirroring peers, please refer to the CephFilesystem documentation.
