66.Sh DESCRIPTION
67The
68.Nm
69utility is used to control the behaviour of the
70.Xr hastd 8
71daemon.
72.Pp
73This utility should be used by HA software like
74.Nm heartbeat
75or
76.Nm ucarp
77to setup HAST resources role when changing from primary mode to
78secondary or vice versa.
79Be aware that if a file system like UFS exists on HAST provider and
80primary node dies, file system has to be checked for inconsistencies
81with the
82.Xr fsck 8
83utility after switching secondary node to primary role.
84.Pp
85The first argument to
86.Nm
87indicates an action to be performed:
88.Bl -tag -width ".Cm create"
89.It Cm create
90Initialize local provider configured for the given resource.
91Additional options include:
92.Bl -tag -width ".Fl e Ar extentsize"
93.It Fl e Ar extentsize
94Size of an extent.
95Extent is a block which is used for synchronization.
96.Xr hastd 8
97maintains a map of dirty extents and extent is the smallest region that
98can be marked as dirty.
99If any part of an extent is modified, entire extent will be synchronized
100when nodes connect.
101If extent size is too small, there will be too much disk activity
102related to dirty map updates, which will degrade performance of the
103given resource.
104If extent size is too large, synchronization, even in case of short
105outage, can take a long time increasing the risk of losing up-to-date
106node before synchronization process is completed.
107The default extent size is
108.Va 2MB .
109.It Fl k Ar keepdirty
110Maximum number of dirty extents to keep dirty all the time.
111Most recently used extents are kept dirty to reduce number of metadata
112updates.
113The default number of most recently used extents which will be kept
114dirty is
115.Va 64 .
116.It Fl m Ar mediasize
117Size of the smaller provider used as backend storage on both nodes.
118This option can be omitted if node providers have the same size on both
119sides.
120.El
121.Pp
122If size is suffixed with a k, M, G or T, it is taken as a kilobyte,
123megabyte, gigabyte or terabyte measurement respectively.
124.It Cm role
125Change role of the given resource.
126The role can be one of:
127.Bl -tag -width ".Cm secondary"
128.It Cm init
129Resource is turned off.
130.It Cm primary
131Local
132.Xr hastd 8
133daemon will act as primary node for the given resource.
134System on which resource role is set to primary can use
135.Pa /dev/hast/<name>
136GEOM provider.
137.It Cm secondary
138Local
139.Xr hastd 8
140daemon will act as secondary node for the given resource - it will wait
141for connection from the primary node and will handle I/O requests
142received from it.
143GEOM provider
144.Pa /dev/hast/<name>
145will not be created on secondary node.
146.El
147.It Cm list
148Present verbose status of the configured resources.
149.It Cm status
150Present terse (and more easy machine-parseable) status of the configured
151resources.
152.It Cm dump
153Dump metadata stored on local component for the configured resources.
154.El
155.Pp
156In addition, every subcommand can be followed by the following options:
157.Bl -tag -width ".Fl c Ar config"
158.It Fl c Ar config
159Specify alternative location of the configuration file.
160The default location is
161.Pa /etc/hast.conf .
162.It Fl d
163Print debugging information.
164This option can be specified multiple times to raise the verbosity
165level.
166.El
167.Sh FILES
168.Bl -tag -width ".Pa /var/run/hastctl" -compact
169.It Pa /etc/hast.conf
170Configuration file for
171.Nm
172and
173.Xr hastd 8 .
174.It Pa /var/run/hastctl
175Control socket used by
176.Nm
177to communicate with the
178.Xr hastd 8
179daemon.
180.El
181.Sh EXIT STATUS
182Exit status is 0 on success, or one of the values described in
183.Xr sysexits 3
184on failure.
