# Phase 6.3 Redundancy — Client Interop Matrix and Cutover Validation Plan > **Scope**: Phase 6.3 redundancy runtime core shipped (PRs #89-90, #98-99, > #24-peerprobe, Stream C node wiring, Stream D lease wrap). What remains is > Stream F (task #150): validating that third-party OPC UA clients honour > our `ServiceLevel` / `ServerUriArray` / `RedundancySupport` signals and > fail over correctly when the Primary drops. This document defines what is > automatable as integration tests, what requires two live instances plus a > real client, and a step-by-step cutover-validation runbook. > > **Source of truth**: `docs/Redundancy.md`, `docs/v2/redundancy-interop-playbook.md`, > `docs/v2/implementation/phase-6-3-redundancy-runtime.md`, > `scripts/compliance/phase-6-3-compliance.ps1`. ## What is already tested (no live cluster needed) The following are covered by existing automated tests that run in ordinary `dotnet test`: | Area | Test class(es) | What it asserts | |---|---|---| | `ServiceLevelCalculator` — 8-state matrix | `ServiceLevelCalculatorTests` | All 10 band values; role × self-health × peer-http × peer-ua × apply × recovery × topology combinations | | `RecoveryStateManager` — dwell + witness | `RecoveryStateManagerTests` | 60 s dwell default; premature-exit rejection; witness-required gate | | `ApplyLeaseRegistry` — lease lifecycle | `ApplyLeaseRegistryTests` | Disposal on success / exception / cancellation; watchdog force-close at 10 min | | `ServerRedundancyNodeWriter` — OPC UA variable binding | `ServerRedundancyNodeWriterTests` | `ServiceLevel` byte push; `RedundancySupport` enum; `ServerUriArray` skip-log when node absent | | `RedundancyStatePublisher` — orchestration | `RedundancyStatePublisherTests` | Edge-triggered `OnStateChanged`; idempotent dedup | | `ClusterTopologyLoader` | `ClusterTopologyLoaderTests` | Two-node seed; one-node degenerate; duplicate-URI rejection | | `DraftValidator.ValidateClusterTopology` | `DraftValidatorTests` (8 cases) | NodeCount/mode pairs; Enabled-count vs NodeCount; multiple-Primary rejection | Run with: ```powershell dotnet test ZB.MOM.WW.OtOpcUa.slnx --filter "FullyQualifiedName~Redundancy" ``` Compliance gate (every Phase 6.3 static check): ```powershell pwsh ./scripts/compliance/phase-6-3-compliance.ps1 ``` Pass criteria: exit 0; all `[PASS]` lines green; `[DEFERRED]` lines are known-deferred surfaces, not failures. ## What cannot be automated — requires two live instances The scenarios below require two running `OtOpcUa.Server` processes in the same `ServerCluster`, a real SQL Server Config DB, and at least one driver instance with a reachable endpoint (simulator or real PLC). ### Why it cannot be unit/integration-tested in-process - UaExpert, Kepware KEPServerEX, and AVEVA OI Gateway are closed-source Windows GUI binaries with no headless CLI interface for the subscribe/browse flows. - The AVEVA MXAccess failover leg (`IAlarmSource` reconnect, `$MxAccessClient` quality transition) involves the Galaxy runtime's own client-redundancy policy and the COM-layer session model — both live outside this repo. - Even the automatable sub-set (our own `otopcua-cli` as the client) needs two distinct listening TCP endpoints; that requires two live processes, which is out of scope for `dotnet test` integration fixtures. ## Test matrix ### Prerequisites 1. Two `OtOpcUa.Server` processes on separate Windows hosts (or separate ports on the same host for dev) sharing one Config DB (`ServerCluster` with `NodeCount=2`, `RedundancyMode=Warm` or `Hot`). 2. Each node registered in `ClusterNode`: - Node A: `RedundancyRole=Primary`, `ServiceLevelBase=255`, `ApplicationUri=urn:node-a:OtOpcUa` - Node B: `RedundancyRole=Secondary`, `ServiceLevelBase=100`, `ApplicationUri=urn:node-b:OtOpcUa` 3. `PeerHttpProbeLoop` and `PeerUaProbeLoop` HostedServices running on both nodes (registered via `AddHostedService` + `AddHostedService` in `Program.cs`). 4. At least one `DriverInstance` in the cluster with a reachable PLC or simulator (e.g. Modbus sim at `10.100.0.35:5020`). 5. Client machine with UaExpert >= 1.7 installed. 6. Optional second client: Kepware KEPServerEX 6.x QuickClient or AVEVA OI Gateway 2020R2+. ### Block A — OPC UA protocol signals (UaExpert, no failover yet) | ID | Scenario | Procedure | Pass criterion | Automatable? | |----|----------|-----------|----------------|--------------| | A1 | ServiceLevel published on Primary | Connect UaExpert to Node A. Browse `Server/ServerStatus/ServiceLevel`. | Value = 255 (`AuthoritativePrimary`) | No — requires UaExpert GUI | | A2 | ServiceLevel published on Backup | Connect UaExpert to Node B. Read same node. | Value = 100 (`AuthoritativeBackup`) | No | | A3 | ServiceLevel updates when peer drops | Node A connected. Stop Node B (`sc stop OtOpcUa`). Watch `ServiceLevel` on Node A. | Transitions 255 → 230 (`IsolatedPrimary`) within ~6 s (3 × 2 s HTTP probe interval) | No | | A4 | RedundancySupport | Browse `Server/ServerRedundancy/RedundancySupport` on either node. | Value = `Warm` or `Hot` matching the cluster `RedundancyMode` | No | | A5 | ServerUriArray | Browse `Server/ServerRedundancy/ServerUriArray` on either node. | Array contains both `ApplicationUri` values; self listed first. Note: requires non-transparent redundancy-type upgrade (currently logs-and-skips — see known limitation A5 below). | No | | A6 | Mid-apply ServiceLevel dip | Trigger a `sp_PublishGeneration` apply (via Admin UI draft → publish) while watching Node A `ServiceLevel`. | Drops to 200 (`PrimaryMidApply`) for the apply duration; returns to 255 after `RefreshAsync`. | No | | A7 | Client.CLI reads correct ServiceLevel | `dotnet run --project src/Client/ZB.MOM.WW.OtOpcUa.Client.CLI -- read -u opc.tcp://:4840 -n "i=2267"` | Prints current byte value matching expected band. | **Yes** — scriptable with the Client CLI | | A8 | otopcua-cli failover reconnect | `dotnet run ... -- connect -u opc.tcp://:4840 -F opc.tcp://:4840` — then kill Node A. | CLI session reconnects to Node B within the session keep-alive timeout. | **Yes** — scriptable with the Client CLI | ### Block B — Third-party client failover | ID | Scenario | Procedure | Pass criterion | |----|----------|-----------|----------------| | B1 | UaExpert picks Primary by ServiceLevel | Configure a Redundancy Group in UaExpert with both endpoint URLs. | Client connects to Node A (higher ServiceLevel) | | B2 | UaExpert cuts over on Primary kill | Kill Node A `OtOpcUa` service. | Client session reconnects to Node B within UaExpert's reconnect timeout (default 5 s). Data-change monitored items resume. | | B3 | UaExpert returns when Primary restores | Start Node A. Wait >= 60 s recovery dwell. | `ServiceLevel` on Node A progresses: 180 (`RecoveringPrimary`) → 255 (`AuthoritativePrimary`). UaExpert may or may not switch back (client-policy-dependent; both outcomes accepted). | | B4 | Kepware QuickClient failover | Repeat B1–B3 with Kepware configured for the same two endpoints. | Same pass criteria; establishes no UaExpert-specific behaviour. | | B5 | AVEVA OI Gateway | Configure OI Gateway OPC DA/UA client object against the cluster. Kill Primary. | OI Gateway data quality recovers within `ReconnectInterval` (default 20 s); no permanent data-loss alert. | ### Block C — Galaxy MXAccess failover This block requires a running Galaxy and `$MxAccessClient` object (AVEVA System Platform installed, Galaxy deployed on dev box — see project memory `project_aveva_platform_installed.md`). | ID | Scenario | Procedure | Pass criterion | |----|----------|-----------|----------------| | C1 | Galaxy binds to Primary on first connect | Bring cluster up. Start a Galaxy `$MxAccessClient` with both node URLs configured. | Galaxy reports `QUALITY = Good`; initial values stream from Node A. | | C2 | Galaxy redirects on Primary drop | Stop Node A. | Galaxy `QUALITY` briefly goes `Uncertain`, then returns to `Good`; values continue streaming from Node B within MXAccess's `ReconnectInterval` (default 20 s). | | C3 | Galaxy tolerates mid-apply dip | Trigger generation apply on Node A. | Galaxy remains bound — mid-apply dip (200) is advisory, not a session drop. No quality interruption. | Note: A negative result on C1–C3 does not necessarily indicate an OtOpcUa defect. Cross-check with Block A / B first to confirm our `ServiceLevel` signal is correct before debugging the MXAccess client layer. ## Step-by-step cutover-validation runbook This is the minimum procedure to satisfy the v2 GA exit criterion: "Non-transparent redundancy cutover validated with at least one production client (Ignition 8.3 recommended — see decision #85)." ### Step 1 — Provision the cluster ```powershell # On the Config DB host, seed or verify cluster rows: # ServerCluster: Id=, Name="test-cluster", NodeCount=2, RedundancyMode=Warm # ClusterNode A: NodeId="node-a", ClusterId=, RedundancyRole=Primary, # ServiceLevelBase=255, ApplicationUri="urn:node-a:OtOpcUa" # ClusterNode B: NodeId="node-b", ClusterId=, RedundancyRole=Secondary, # ServiceLevelBase=100, ApplicationUri="urn:node-b:OtOpcUa" ``` Verify uniqueness constraint: no two `ClusterNode` rows share the same `ApplicationUri` (unique index on `ApplicationUri`). ### Step 2 — Start both server instances On Node A host: ```powershell # appsettings.json: Node:NodeId = "node-a" sc start OtOpcUa ``` On Node B host: ```powershell # appsettings.json: Node:NodeId = "node-b" sc start OtOpcUa ``` Wait 10 s for HostedServices to complete first probe cycle. ### Step 3 — Verify baseline ServiceLevel via Client CLI ```powershell # Node A should report 255 dotnet run --project src/Client/ZB.MOM.WW.OtOpcUa.Client.CLI -- read ` -u opc.tcp://:4840 -n "i=2267" # Node B should report 100 dotnet run --project src/Client/ZB.MOM.WW.OtOpcUa.Client.CLI -- read ` -u opc.tcp://:4840 -n "i=2267" ``` Pass: Node A = 255, Node B = 100. ### Step 4 — Verify ServerUriArray ```powershell dotnet run --project src/Client/ZB.MOM.WW.OtOpcUa.Client.CLI -- read ` -u opc.tcp://:4840 -n "i=2271" ``` Pass: array returned contains both `ApplicationUri` strings. If `ServerUriArray` node returns empty or an error, the non-transparent redundancy-type upgrade follow-up is still pending (known limitation — `ServerRedundancyNodeWriter.ApplyServerUriArray` logs-and-skips on the base `ServerRedundancyState` object type). ### Step 5 — Execute Primary kill + failover (B2 scenario) 1. Connect UaExpert (or Kepware) Redundancy Group to both endpoints. 2. Confirm client is subscribed to at least one variable node. 3. Kill Node A: `sc stop OtOpcUa` on Node A host. 4. Observe: - Node B `ServiceLevel` should transition: 100 (`AuthoritativeBackup`) → 80 (`IsolatedBackup`) within ~6 s. - Client should reconnect to Node B and resume data-change events. 5. Record: time from kill to client reconnect; whether data gaps occurred. ### Step 6 — Verify Primary recovery (B3 scenario) 1. Restart Node A: `sc start OtOpcUa` on Node A host. 2. Observe Node A `ServiceLevel` progression: - ~0 s: 1 (`NoData`) briefly while HostedServices start. - Startup: 180 (`RecoveringPrimary`) — recovery dwell gate active. - After >= 60 s dwell + one positive publish witness: 255 (`AuthoritativePrimary`). 3. Observe Node B: - Returns to 100 (`AuthoritativeBackup`) once it sees Node A peer probe succeed. 4. Record dwell duration and whether the client (UaExpert/Kepware) switches back. ### Step 7 — Execute mid-apply dip (A6 scenario) 1. Via Admin UI, create a trivial draft change and publish. 2. Watch Node A `ServiceLevel` during apply. 3. Expected: drops to 200 (`PrimaryMidApply`) for the apply duration (typically seconds); returns to 255 when `GenerationRefreshHostedService` releases the lease. ### Step 8 — Record results Copy the following block into a tracking doc: ``` Run date: YYYY-MM-DD Release SHA: Cluster: Primary: node-a Backup: node-b Config DB: 10.100.0.35,14330 A1: [PASS/FAIL] evidence: A2: [PASS/FAIL] A3: [PASS/FAIL] time-to-IsolatedPrimary: s A4: [PASS/FAIL] A5: [PASS/FAIL/DEFERRED - ServerUriArray upgrade pending] A6: [PASS/FAIL] mid-apply duration: s A7: [PASS/FAIL] CLI output attached A8: [PASS/FAIL] CLI reconnect observed B1: [PASS/FAIL] B2: [PASS/FAIL] reconnect time: s B3: [PASS/FAIL] dwell observed: s B4: [PASS/FAIL] (Kepware) B5: [PASS/FAIL] (OI Gateway — if available) C1: [PASS/FAIL/SKIP - Galaxy not available] C2: [PASS/FAIL/SKIP] C3: [PASS/FAIL/SKIP] ``` One pass of every non-SKIP row is the v2 GA acceptance criterion. ## Known limitations ### A5 — ServerUriArray node not yet writable The OPC UA .NET Standard SDK's default `Server.ServerRedundancy` object is the base `ServerRedundancyState`, which has no `ServerUriArray` child node. `ServerRedundancyNodeWriter.ApplyServerUriArray` currently logs a warning and skips. The operator obtains `ServerUriArray` by reading `ClusterNode` rows directly until the non-transparent redundancy-type upgrade follow-up ships. ### Recovery dwell is 60 s by default `RecoveryStateManager.DwellTime` defaults to `TimeSpan.FromSeconds(60)` in `Program.cs`. Step 6 of the runbook will block for at least 60 s waiting for Node A to return to `AuthoritativePrimary`. This is intentional per decision #154 (thrash prevention) — do not lower it for the test run. ### IsolatedBackup (80) does not auto-promote Per decision #154, the Backup at band 80 does not self-elevate. If the operator needs authoritative service from Node B while Node A is down, they must write `RedundancyRole=Primary` on the `ClusterNode` row for Node B and publish a draft generation. The Admin UI `RedundancyTab` exposes this flow. ## Dependency on existing tests The cutover runbook validates the end-to-end wire path. The math and edge cases are already locked by the unit/integration tests enumerated in the first section. A failing runbook step that contradicts a passing unit test indicates a deployment configuration error or an SDK version mismatch — not a logic bug. Check `PeerHttpProbeLoop` logs first (look for `PeerProbe` Serilog events).
