Restore

You can review these best practices when you restore a cluster.

• Power off and delete the existing cluster before restoring to the same infrastructure

  If restoring a backup cluster to the same infrastructure, power off and delete the existing cluster to avoid potential MAC and IP address conflicts.

• Remove cloud proxies and deploy new instances if unavailable

  Remove cloud proxies that report as down or no longer available to bring the cluster online, then add the replacement cloud proxies as needed.

• Change the IP Address of Nodes After Restoring a Cluster on a Remote Host if the IPs change before bringing cluster online

  After you have restored a VMware Aria Operations cluster to a remote host, change the IP address of the primary nodes and data nodes to point to the new host. See Change the IP Address of Nodes After Restoring a Cluster on a Remote Host.
