Perform tenant O&M operations

2025-11-28 06:07:04  Updated

A tenant contains various resources. To prevent a tenant from becoming bloated and improve tenant O&M flexibility, ob-operator provides the tenant O&M resource OBTenantOperation for you to perform intra-tenant and inter-tenant O&M operations. ob-operator V2.1.0 supports three O&M operations: changing the password of the root user, activating a standby tenant, and executing a primary/standby tenant switchover. Standby tenant activation and primary/standby tenant switchover are related to the physical standby database feature. Here are sample configurations of the three O&M operations:

# Change the password.
apiVersion: oceanbase.oceanbase.com/v1alpha1
kind: OBTenantOperation
metadata:
  name: op-chg-pwd
  namespace: oceanbase
spec:
  type: "CHANGE_PASSWORD"
  changePwd:
    tenant: "t1"
    secretRef: "t1-credential-new"
# Upgrade a standby tenant to the primary tenant.
apiVersion: oceanbase.oceanbase.com/v1alpha1
kind: OBTenantOperation
metadata:
  name: op-failover
  namespace: oceanbase
spec:
  type: "FAILOVER"
  failover:
    standbyTenant: "t1s"
# Perform a primary/standby tenant switchover.
apiVersion: oceanbase.oceanbase.com/v1alpha1
kind: OBTenantOperation
metadata:
  name: op-switchover
  namespace: oceanbase
spec:
  type: "SWITCHOVER"
  switchover:
    primaryTenant: "t1"
    standbyTenant: "t1s"

Examples

Create a standby tenant

kubectl apply -f tenant_restore.yaml

View the tenant status

kubectl get obtenants.oceanbase.oceanbase.com -n oceanbase

The command output is as follows:

NAME   STATUS    TENANTNAME   TENANTROLE   CLUSTERNAME   AGE
t1     running   t1           PRIMARY      obcluster     3d4h
t1s    running   t1s          STANDBY      obcluster     3h30m

Perform O&M operations on the tenant

kubectl apply -f tenant_op_change_pwd.yaml
kubectl apply -f tenant_op_failover.yaml

Query the information about the tenant O&M operations

kubectl get obtenantoperations.oceanbase.oceanbase.com -n oceanbase

The command output is as follows:

NAME          TYPE       STATUS       AGE   CLUSTER     PRIMARYTENANT
op-failover   FAILOVER   SUCCESSFUL   8s    obcluster   t1s

Note that the value of the PRIMARYTENANT field in the output indicates the new primary tenant after the switchover. The value of the SECONDARYTENANT field in the output indicates the new standby tenant after the switchover. To save space, the SECONDARYTENANT field is not exported by default. You can run the kubectl get obtenantoperations.oceanbase.oceanbase.com -o wide command to view it.
