Site replication mimics an active-active bucket replication, but for multiple MinIO deployments. Wherever a change occurs to IAM settings, buckets, or objects across the set of sites, the change replicates across all sites in the site replication group. .. end-mc-admin-replicate-desc Where :ref:`bucket replication ` manages the mirroring of particular buckets or objects from one location to another within a deployment or across deployments, site replication continuously mirrors an entire MinIO site to other sites. :mc-cmd:`mc admin replicate` only supports site replication for :ref:`distributed deployments ` when configuring site replication. Only one deployment can have any data when initiating a new site replication configuration. Site replication enforces :ref:`bucket versioning ` on all buckets, including existing buckets and any buckets added after initiating site replication. Site replication fully synchronizes versioned objects, compared to :mc:`mc mirror` which operates only on the latest version of an object .. admonition:: Use ``mc admin`` on MinIO Deployments Only :class: note .. include:: /includes/facts-mc-admin.rst :start-after: start-minio-only :end-before: end-minio-only The :mc-cmd:`mc admin replicate` command has the following subcommands: .. list-table:: :header-rows: 1 :widths: 40 60 * - Subcommand - Description * - :mc-cmd:`mc admin replicate add` - Create a new site replication configuration or expand an existing configuration. * - :mc-cmd:`mc admin replicate info` - Returns information about site replication configuration. * - :mc-cmd:`mc admin replicate resync` - Resynchronizes content from one site to a second site if the second site has lost data. * - :mc-cmd:`mc admin replicate rm` - Removes an entire site replication configuration or one or more peer sites from participating in site replication. * - :mc-cmd:`mc admin replicate status` - Displays the status for :ref:`replicable data ` across participating sites. * - :mc-cmd:`mc admin replicate update` - Modify the endpoint of the specified peer site in the site replication configuration. Syntax ------ .. mc-cmd:: add :fullpath: Create or expand a site replication configuration. The configuration uses asynchronous site replication by default, as MinIO recommends. If your circumstances require synchronous site replication, complete the configuration, then use :mc-cmd:`mc admin replicate update --sync`. .. tab-set:: .. tab-item:: EXAMPLES Consider a multi-site MinIO topology with three separate MinIO deployments using the following :ref:`aliases `: ``minio1``, ``minio2``, and ``minio3``. All three sites have complete bidirectional network access and low latency between sites. .. code-block:: shell :class: copyable mc admin replicate add minio1 minio2 minio3 The following command expands an existing site replication that includes peer site ``minio1`` to an additional peer site, ``minio5``. ``minio5`` contains no data. .. code-block:: shell :class: copyable mc admin replicate add minio1 minio5 .. tab-item:: SYNTAX The command has the following syntax: .. code-block:: shell :class: copyable mc [GLOBALFLAGS] admin replicate add \ ALIAS1 \ ALIAS2 \ [ALIAS3 ...] .. mc-cmd:: ALIAS :required: The :ref:`alias ` of a MinIO deployment to include in site replication. At least two MinIO deployment aliases are required to create a site replication. Only the first alias can have buckets or objects. The first site can also be empty. To expand an existing site replication to one more new replication sites, the first :ref:`alias ` must be a peer site in the site replication set to expand. Then include one or more additional :ref:`aliases ` to add to the existing site replication. The deployments to add must be empty. .. mc-cmd:: update :fullpath: Modifies the endpoint used for an existing peer site participating in site replication. .. versionchanged:: RELEASE.2023-01-11T03-14-16Z ``mc admin replicate edit`` renamed to ``mc admin replicate update``. .. tab-set:: .. tab-item:: EXAMPLE .. code-block:: shell :class: copyable mc admin replicate update \ minio2 \ --deployment-id c1758167-4426-454f-9aae-5c3dfdf6df64 \ --endpoint https://minio2:9000 .. tab-item:: SYNTAX The command has the following syntax: .. code-block:: shell mc [GLOBALFLAGS] admin replicate update \ ALIAS \ --deployment-id [deploymentID] \ --endpoint [newEndpoint] \ --sync ["enable" | "disable"] .. mc-cmd:: ALIAS :required: The :ref:`alias ` of the MinIO deployment. .. mc-cmd:: --deployment-id :required: The unique id of the deployment to change. The deployment ID can be found by running :mc-cmd:`mc admin replicate info ALIAS` .. mc-cmd:: --endpoint :required: The new endpoint or URL to associate with the peer site. .. mc-cmd:: --sync :optional: Enable or disable synchronous site replication. Available values are ``enable`` and ``disable``. If not defined, MInIO uses asynchronous site replication. .. mc-cmd:: rm, remove :fullpath: .. versionchanged:: RELEASE.2023-01-11T03-14-16Z The ``mc admin replicate remove`` subcommand renamed to ``mc admin replicate rm``. Removes one or more sites from a site replication configuration. Remember, if you intend to re-add the site to a site replication configuration in the future, it must be empty of :ref:`replicable data `. .. tab-set:: .. tab-item:: EXAMPLES Remove site replication for all connected sites for an existing site replication configuration that includes `minio2`. This deletes the site replication configuration for all participating sites. .. code-block:: shell :class: copyable mc admin replicate rm \ minio2 \ --all \ --force Remove the sites with alias names ``minio5`` and ``minio6`` from an existing site replication configuration that includes `minio2` .. code-block:: shell :class: copyable mc admin replicate rm \ minio2 \ minio5 \ minio6 \ --force .. tab-item:: SYNTAX The command has the following syntax: .. code-block:: shell mc [GLOBALFLAGS] admin rm \ TARGET \ ALIAS1 \ [ALIAS2...] \ --all \ --force .. mc-cmd:: TARGET :required: The :ref:`alias ` of an active MinIO deployment participating in the site replication to target.
