 Â Â Â  i don't remember the exact process of the top of my head,
 but it
 Â Â Â  should

 Â Â Â  1. restore db, then install ovirt (exact same version by
 re-using the

Re: [Users] Lost our management server.. have DB backup but no /etc/pki/

[St.Keimond]

All, I have documented backup, backup monitoring,.. and referenced 
another users docs for the restore process.


I have made a note to myself to still write up a separate document on 
how to do a restore without any files but the database and will try to 
get to that soon...

Re: [Users] Lost our management server.. have DB backup but no /etc/pki/

[Alexandru Vladulescu]

Hi,

Because I have foreseen this situation on my side for future upgrades 
and fail-over cases, I did a simpler .sh script with a crontab to run on 
a nightly basis.


I have attached the script here for you and others to use it and don't 
bump in the future in such problems with your sistem.


In a recovery case, you just need to stop ovirt-engine, jboss and insert 
the saved db dump, and overwrite /etc/pki/ovirt-engine directory with 
the certificates from the dump archive.


Of course the script could be developed even further to send email or 
SMS text notifications in case of a trouble but this was written in less 
then 10 minutes. Adapt it for you needs ! I use NFS share and paths.


Hope it helps !

Cheers,
Alex.

Hello,
   We lost our Fedora 17 server with ovirt 3.1 on it. We have a good
database backup but do not have have any certificates. From what I read,
it is possible to still do a restore.. we just have to rejoin all the
nodes so that they get a new certificate.

I've tried to bring the database in to a fresh 3.1 install and a fresh
3.2 install.. with no success on either. I need some helping figuring
this out :)


Thanks,

i don't remember the exact process of the top of my head, but it should 
be either:

1. restore db, then install ovirt (exact same version by re-using the
   db.
2. install ovirt, restore the db over it, and fix some config entries to 
correctly map the new certificates.


then just remove hosts and re-add them to generate new certs for them 
(or just move them to maint and re-install them via the link that should 
appear in the general subtab)
