GitHub user lernerlinux-hash created a discussion: ACS wtih two Ceph clusters( 
Primary and DR ceph cluster with RDB mirroring/ Replciation). How to switch VMs 
to Dr Ceph  when primary goes down?

Hi team,

This is my first post. Please excuse me if I missed anything or asked some 
basic questions.

We are running ACS version 4.20.0.0, with primary storage as Ceph (RBD) and 
secondary storage as traditional NFS.

Currently, VMs are deploying and volumes are being created on Ceph. I have 
created a pool in Ceph and added the primary storage to ACS.

My query is about setting up disaster recovery (DR). I want to keep a DR Ceph 
cluster in a different location and use snapshot-based RBD mirroring for 
replication.

Right now, I am testing on a lab VM before applying this in production.

Our setup is as follows:

ACS on VM1

NFS as secondary storage

Primary Ceph cluster on 3 VMs (where my VMs are deployed)

DR Ceph cluster on 3 VMs (this cluster is up, and the RBD mirroring daemon is 
configured with one-way replication from Primary Ceph to DR Ceph)

So far, I have been manually demoting the image on the primary cluster, 
promoting it on the DR cluster, and then stopping and starting the VM. However, 
the VM gets stuck at the GRUB bootloader and does not boot properly.

I am not sure where I am going wrong and would appreciate help understanding 
this scenario.

I believe this is a common production use case, so I might be missing some key 
steps.

Please let me know if any more details are needed; I will be happy to provide 
them.

Thank you.
