Sounds like you're looking for a global cluster. You don't need multiple rings for this. Swift can support this. When you add a new device to a ring, you add it in a different region, and Swift takes care of it for you. Here's some more information: http://docs.openstack.org/developer/swift/admin_guide.html#geographically-distributed-clusters https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mcaTwhP_rPE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LpmBRqevuVU https://swiftstack.com/blog/2013/07/02/swift-1-9-0-release/ https://swiftstack.com/blog/2012/09/16/globally-distributed-openstack-swift-cluster/ https://www.swiftstack.com/docs/admin/cluster_management/regions.html --John > On Dec 15, 2014, at 10:15 AM, Amit Anand <aanand at viimed.com> wrote: > > Hi all, > > I was wondering if anyone knew of any good blog posts and videos that could show/explain what I am trying to do. I have Juno setup and it working great (thanks to everyone on heres help)! Now, I would like to add two more Object Store nodes, but as a separate "datacenter" as it were and replicate between my existing ring and the new one. Now, Im not sure exactly what to do for the account/container/object rings and how to get them to replicate (so if one goes down the other will still continue to serve data). I am also going to try and add another storage node just as a backup for existing data. Would anyone have any good links to send me I would appreciate it! > > Thanks! > Amit Anand > _______________________________________________ > Mailing list: http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack > Post to : openstack at lists.openstack.org > Unsubscribe : http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack
