Configuring a Snapshot
You can configure the parameters for creating and restoring a snapshot.
- This feature applies only to clusters of 8.2.0 or later. (For clusters of versions earlier than 8.2.0, only some parameters can be configured.)
- The parameters take effect on all the snapshot creation and restoration tasks.
Procedure
- Log in to the GaussDB(DWS) console.
- In the navigation pane, choose Clusters > Dedicated Clusters.
- In the cluster list, click the name of the target cluster. The Cluster Information page is displayed.
- Click the Snapshots tab page and click Configure Parameters. All the configurable parameters of the current cluster will be displayed.
- Configure parameters as required. For details, see Table 1.
- Click Save.
Snapshot parameters
Parameter |
Type |
Description |
Default Value |
---|---|---|---|
parallel-process |
Backup parameter |
Number of concurrent processes on each node during Roach backup.
NOTE:
This parameter can be configured for clusters earlier than 8.2.0. |
The value is the number of DNs on the current node. |
compression-type |
Backup parameter |
Compression algorithm.
NOTE:
This parameter can be configured for clusters earlier than 8.2.0. |
LZ4 |
compression-level |
Backup parameter |
Compression level. The value range is 0 to 9.
NOTE:
This parameter can be configured for clusters earlier than 8.2.0. |
6 |
buffer-size |
Backup parameter |
Buffer size of the Roach upload media. The value range is 256 to 16,384, in MB. |
256 |
buffer-block-size |
Backup parameter |
Data block size of the data file to be read by Roach. The value range is 5,242,880 to 268,435,456, in bytes. |
67108864 |
cpu-cores |
Backup parameter |
Number of CPU cores that can be used when Roach starts multiple threads concurrently |
1/2 of the total number of logical CPU cores on the node |
master-timeout |
Backup parameter |
Timeout period for the communication between the Roach master and agent nodes. The value range is 600 to 3600, in seconds. |
3600 |
max-backup-io-speed |
Backup parameter |
I/O flow control during Roach backup. The value range is 0 to 2048, in MB/s. The value must be greater than the value of buffer-block-size. The value 0 indicates no limit. |
0 |
backup-mode |
Backup parameter |
Full backup mode.
|
0 |
cbm-parse-mode |
Backup parameter |
Incremental backup mode.
|
0 |
parallel-process |
Restoration parameter |
Number of concurrent processes on each node during Roach backup. By default, the value is the number of primary DNs on the current node plus 1. |
1 |
cpu-cores |
Restoration parameter |
Number of CPU cores that can be used when Roach starts multiple threads concurrently |
The default value is 1/2 of the number of CPU cores. |
logging-level |
Restoration parameter |
