The following procedure provides details on creating a dSource with Disk ingestion type.

Prerequisites

The source and staging instances must meet the host requirements as described in Requirements for CockroachDB Staging/Target hosts.

Creating dSource

  1. Login to Delphix Management application.

  2. Click Manage > Datasets

  3. Click on Add dSource.

  5. Select the dSource type from the drop-down available on dSource wizard. Refer to different dSource Types

  6. Enter the CockroachDB specific parameters for your dSource configuration.

    1. dSource Type Type of dSource

    2. dSource (Disk) Details

      1. Mount Path The path on the host where Delphix will mount the dSource files via NFS

      2. IP Address / Hostname of the Staging Cluster IP Address / Hostname of the interface for the staging Cluster (default 127.0.0.1)

      3. Staging CockroachDB Port Number Staging DB port for cluster’s inter-node communication

      4. Staging CockroachDB Console Port Number Staging Console port for HTTP requests

      5. CockroachDB Backup Subdirectory Path CockroachDB Backup’s Subdirectory Absolute Path where backups are located in S3 Bucket

      6. CockroachDB Backup’s Directory Path The absolute path on the staging host where CockroachDB backups are stored.

      7. Secure Mode Option to run the CockroachDB server in secure mode

      8. Certificate directory path The absolute path to the certificate directory, it must have valid certificates containing the IP address or hostname for the CockroachDB server

      9. CockroachDB Cluster Node Count Number of nodes that consists of Staging CockroachDB cluster. Minimum: 3 and Maximum: 9

      10. CockroachDB Parameters Additional CockroachDB configuration parameters to start the CockroachDB cluster

        1. Parameter Name CockroachDB Cluster configuration parameter name

        2. Parameter Value CockroachDB Cluster configuration parameter value

      11. Then click Next to proceed further.

      12. Additional Nodes: Specify the node configuration for each node the CRDB cluster.  

        1. Environment Select environment on which node has to be created. 

        2. Environment User Select environment user corresponding to the environment. 

        3. IP Address / Hostname IP Address / Hostname of the interface for the staging node(default 0.0.0.0) 

        4. CockroachDB Port Number Staging DB port for node’s inter-node communication 

        5. CockroachDB Console Port Number Staging Console port for HTTP requests 

        6. Certificate directory path The absolute path to the certificate directory, it must have valid certificates containing the IP address or hostname for the CockroachDB server 

        7. Append cluster CRDB parameters Check with box if the cluster configuration parameters are applicable for the node. 

        8. Additional Node Configuration Parameters Additional CockroachDB configuration parameters to start the node

  7. Provide the details for dSource Name and Target group on the dSource configuration page and click Next.

  8. On the Data management page, select the following and click Next.

    1. Staging Environment: This will be your staging host where source config was created.

    2. User: Database OS user with required privileges for linking the dataset.

  9. On the next screens, configure a policy, hooks, and review the configuration, then click on Next button to view the summary.

  10. Click the Submit button which will initiate the linking process.

  11. Once dSource is created successfully, you can review the datasets on Manage > Datasets > dSource Name.

Note: 

  • Must specify the input “Certificate directory path” when “Secure Mode” option is selected.

  • For more detailed guidance on CockroachDB certificate generation, refer to the official documentation: CockroachDB Certificate Generation.
