Restoring management database from backup

You can restore a management node database from backup on the same management node or any node in the storage cluster.

Limitations

  • The vstorage-ui-backend service must be running on a single node in the storage cluster. If the management node database is restored on a different node, the previous management node must be re-deployed.

Prerequisites

To restore a management node database from backup

Run the following script on the node where the MN database will be restored:

# /usr/libexec/vstorage-ui-backend/bin/restore-management-node.sh \
-x <public_net_iface> -i <private_net_iface> -f /mnt/vstorage/webcp/backup/<backup_file>

Where <public_net_iface> and <private_net_iface> are interfaces assigned the public and private networks. If required, you can specify the same network interface in both parameters. If the -f option is omitted, the management node database will be restored from the latest backup.

To access the admin panel, use the public IP address of the node with the restored MN database.
