Guard against configuration that would use Raft solely for HA (e.g.
ha_storage "raft"
with non-raftstorage
) This "fixes" #8206 by preventing it from happening when parsing the config, but also guarding against calling any methods if the internalraft
backend is nil.It seems raft isn't initialized or started unless it's the primary physical storage used. Internally in the unseal process,
startRaftStorage
gets called which setups the the raft cluster for storage, but it is not called for the configured HA backend. That may be an easy addition later, but for now we document the limitation and block it from happening to prevent further panics as shown in #8206
