Re-Adding VM's to new VIO deployment

[benjamin000]

We have a corrupted VIO install and restoring our VIO backup failed due to SSH error so rather than work around this we deployed VIO again.

We have all our VMs running in the Compute Cluster and we need some guidance on how to re-add them into OpenStack.

This is kind of urgent so some quick advice would be appreciated.

Hi Benjamin000,

probably it is too late but I'll try to help anyway!

Did you perform a previous database backup with viocli backup Command ?

Cheers,

Domenico

Hello

Yes we did perform and backup of the database and Openstack however when trying to restore the database if I recall correctly I received an error which would not allow the restore to complete.

As you know it is too late now but it is a little concerning that the restore process failed.

[admin]

did you try recovering entirely the node using viocli recover Command ?

Do you remember the error message?

Cheers,

Domenico
