Verifying the Consistency of Data Migrated Between MRS HBase Clusters

Preparations

• Install the MgC Agent, an MgC tool used for data verification, in the source intranet environment and register an account for using the MgC Agent. For details, see Installing the MgC Agent for Linux.
• Add the mappings between the hostnames and IP addresses of all nodes in the source and target clusters to the /etc/hosts file on the server where the MgC Agent is installed.
  1. On the server where the MgC Agent is installed, open the /etc/hosts file.
  2. In the /etc/hosts file, add a line for each node in the source and target clusters in the following format:

     IP address Hostname

     For example, if a node uses the IP address 192.168.1.1 and has the hostname source-node-01, add the following information:

     192.168.1.1 source-node-01
  3. After all mappings are added, save and close the /etc/hosts file.
  4. Ping a hostname to check whether it can be resolved successfully. For example:

     ping source-node-01

Procedure

1. Sign in to the MgC console.
2. In the navigation pane on the left, choose Settings.
3. Under Migration Projects, click Create Project.
   Figure 1 Creating a project
   

4. Set Project Type to Complex migration (for big data), enter a project name, and click Create.
   Figure 2 Creating a big data migration project
   

5. Connect the MgC Agent to MgC. For more information, see Connecting the MgC Agent to MgC.
6. After the connection is successful, add the username/key pairs for accessing the source and target MRS HBase clusters to the MgC Agent. For more information, see Adding Resource Credentials. Enter the username for logging in to the HBase client in the Username box and upload the configuration files for Key:
   • For an unsecured cluster (with Kerberos authentication disabled), you need to upload five configuration files: core-site.xml, hdfs-site.xml, yarn-site.xml, mapred-site.xml, and hbase-site.xml. For details about how to obtain the configuration files, see Preparing the Configuration Files of the Running Environment. Review whether Kerberos authentication is enabled for the cluster in the basic cluster information.
   • For a secured cluster (with Kerberos authentication enabled), upload seven files: core-site.xml, hdfs-site.xml, yarn-site.xml, krb5.conf, user.keytab, mapred-site.xml, and hbase-site.xml. The krb5.conf and user.keytab files contain the credentials of the cluster users. You can perform the following steps to obtain the two files. For details about how to obtain the other five configuration files, see Preparing the Configuration Files of the Running Environment.
     1. Log in to FusionInsight Manager, and choose System > Permission > User.
     2. Select developuser and choose More > Download Authentication Credential to download the authentication credential files.
     3. Decompress the downloaded file to obtain the user.keytab and krb5.conf files.

7. In the navigation pane, choose Migrate > Big Data Verification. In the navigation pane, under Project, select the project created in step 4.
8. If you are performing a big data verification with MgC for the first time, select your MgC Agent to enable this feature. Click Select MgC Agent. In the displayed dialog box, select the MgC Agent you connected to MgC from the drop-down list.
   CAUTION:

   Ensure that the selected MgC Agent is always Online and Enabled before your verification is complete.

9. In the Features area, click Preparations.
10. Choose Connection Management and click Create Connection.

    Table 1 Parameters for creating an HBase connection

    Parameter	Configuration
    Connection To	Select Source.
    Connection Name	The default name is HBase-4 random characters (including letters and numbers). You can also customize a name.

    HBase Version	Select the HBase version.
    Collect Usage Metrics	This parameter is optional. If this option is enabled, usage metrics for your big data resources will be collected during the execution of tasks created using this connection. The collected information is used to generate reports on the MgC console and for performance optimization. NOTICE: Before using this function, ensure that the Huawei Cloud account you added to the MgC Agent has the read-only permission for MRS and DLI. If the selected credential is the one you currently use to access MgC, you can select This is my MgC credential, and the projects in the region you choose will be listed. Under Region, select the region where the data to be verified is located. Under Project, select the project where the data to be verified is stored. Under Cluster ID, enter the ID of the cluster where the data to be verified is located. If the selected Doris credential is not the one you currently use to access MgC: Under Region ID, enter the ID of the region where the data to be verified is located. For example, if the region is CN South-Guangzhou, enter cn-south-1. Under Project ID, enter the project ID corresponding to the region. Under Cluster ID, enter the ID of the cluster where the data to be verified is located. NOTE: To view the region ID and project ID, choose My Credentials > API Credentials. For details about how to obtain the cluster ID, see Obtaining an MRS Cluster ID.

13. After the connection test is successful, click Confirm. The cloud service connection is set up.
