Be aware that if a file system like UFS exists on HAST provider and primary node dies, file system has to be checked for inconsistencies with the .Xr fsck 8 utility after switching secondary node to primary role. .Pp The first argument to .Nm indicates an action to be performed: .Bl -tag -width ".Cm create" .It Cm create Initialize local provider configured for the given resource. Additional options include: .Bl -tag -width ".Fl e Ar extentsize" .It Fl e Ar extentsize Size of an extent. Extent is a block which is used for synchronization. .Xr hastd 8 maintains a map of dirty extents and extent is the smallest region that can be marked as dirty. If any part of an extent is modified, entire extent will be synchronized when nodes connect. If extent size is too small, there will be too much disk activity related to dirty map updates, which will degrade performance of the given resource. If extent size is too large, synchronization, even in case of short outage, can take a long time increasing the risk of losing up-to-date node before synchronization process is completed. The default extent size is .Va 2MB . .It Fl k Ar keepdirty Maximum number of dirty extents to keep dirty all the time. Most recently used extents are kept dirty to reduce number of metadata updates. The default number of most recently used extents which will be kept dirty is .Va 64 . .It Fl m Ar mediasize Size of the smaller provider used as backend storage on both nodes. This option can be omitted if node providers have the same size on both sides. .El .Pp If size is suffixed with a k, M, G or T, it is taken as a kilobyte, megabyte, gigabyte or terabyte measurement respectively. .It Cm role Change role of the given resource. The role can be one of: .Bl -tag -width ".Cm secondary" .It Cm init Resource is turned off. .It Cm primary Local .Xr hastd 8 daemon will act as primary node for the given resource. System on which resource role is set to primary can use .Pa /dev/hast/ GEOM provider. .It Cm secondary Local .Xr hastd 8 daemon will act as secondary node for the given resource - it will wait for connection from the primary node and will handle I/O requests received from it. GEOM provider .Pa /dev/hast/ will not be created on secondary node. .El .It Cm status Present status of the configured resources. .It Cm dump Dump metadata stored on local component for the configured resources. .El .Pp In addition, every subcommand can be followed by the following options: .Bl -tag -width ".Fl c Ar config" .It Fl c Ar config Specify alternative location of the configuration file. The default location is .Pa /etc/hast.conf . .It Fl d Print debugging information. This option can be specified multiple times to raise the verbosity level. .El .Sh FILES .Bl -tag -width ".Pa /var/run/hastctl" -compact .It Pa /etc/hast.conf Configuration file for .Nm and .Xr hastd 8 . .It Pa /var/run/hastctl Control socket used by .Nm to communicate with the .Xr hastd 8 daemon. .El .Sh EXIT STATUS Exit status is 0 on success, or one of the values described in .Xr sysexits 3 on failure. .Sh EXAMPLES Initialize HAST provider, create file system on it and mount it. .Bd -literal -offset indent nodeB# hastctl create shared nodeB# hastd nodeB# hastctl role secondary shared nodeA# hastctl create shared nodeA# hastd nodeA# hastctl role primary shared nodeA# newfs -U /dev/hast/shared nodeA# mount -o noatime /dev/hast/shared /shared nodeA# application_start .Ed .Pp Switch roles for the .Nm shared HAST resource. .Bd -literal -offset indent nodeA# application_stop nodeA# umount -f /shared nodeA# hastctl role secondary shared nodeB# hastctl role primary shared nodeB# fsck -t ufs /dev/hast/shared nodeB# mount -o noatime /dev/hast/shared /shared nodeB# application_start .Ed .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr sysexits 3 , .Xr geom 4 , .Xr hast.conf 5 , .Xr fsck 8 , .Xr ggatec 8 , .Xr ggatel 8 , .Xr hastd 8 , .Xr mount 8 , .Xr newfs 8 .Sh AUTHORS The .Nm was developed by .An Pawel Jakub Dawidek Aq pjd@FreeBSD.org under sponsorship of the FreeBSD Foundation.
