From ab1c8339274bd23ceadebb1b0513694693c20add Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Lucy Davinhart || Strawb System Date: Tue, 12 Jul 2022 18:17:12 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] Clarification for local mounts in the context of DR (#16218) * Clarification for local mounts in the context of DR The docs were unclear on this point, so @russparsloe and I looked into it. Local mounts are indeed replicated to DR secondaries. This is the opposite of what it says on https://developer.hashicorp.com/vault/tutorials/enterprise/performance-replication#disaster-recovery > Local backend mounts are not replicated and their use will require existing DR mechanisms if DR is necessary in your implementation. So that page will also need updating * changelog * fix changelog syntax for local mount with DR (#16218) --- changelog/16218.txt | 3 +++ website/content/docs/enterprise/replication.mdx | 2 ++ 2 files changed, 5 insertions(+) create mode 100644 changelog/16218.txt diff --git a/changelog/16218.txt b/changelog/16218.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..aa6eff00b3 --- /dev/null +++ b/changelog/16218.txt @@ -0,0 +1,3 @@ +```release-note:improvement +docs: Clarify the behaviour of local mounts in the context of DR replication +``` diff --git a/website/content/docs/enterprise/replication.mdx b/website/content/docs/enterprise/replication.mdx index c8c2b94b29..1b2c1176da 100644 --- a/website/content/docs/enterprise/replication.mdx +++ b/website/content/docs/enterprise/replication.mdx @@ -122,6 +122,8 @@ original primary on the election of the DR secondary.
