Post Recovery Configuration

After you recover the VMware Integrated OpenStack deployment from a disaster, you can use the post disaster recovery command for updating the OpenStack database.

Procedure

1. Update the OpenStack Nova compute database.

   vio-post-dr

   vio-post-dr command updates the OpenStack Nova compute DB.

   For example, if compute-5479e7cb-c1014 in source site is mapped to compute-8f710e32-c1009 in target site, run the following command:

   vio-post-dr compute-5479e7cb-c1014 compute-8f710e32-1009 fix

   Please note: You need to run vio-post-dr compute-5479e7cb-c1014 compute-8f710e32-1009 fix again once you recover new instances from source site to target site.

2. Clean stale Glance images.

   Since the images replication is not supported, as a result, the images in the target site are no longer useful and you must run the Glance command for removing the stale resources.

   osctl exec -ti mariadb-server-0 -- mysql --defaults-file=/etc/mysql/admin_user.cnf -e "delete from glance.image_members; delete from glance.image_properties; delete from glance.image_tags; delete from glance.image_locations; delete from glance.images;"

3. Enable Network-T configure recover job by updating Neutron CR.
   Note: You must run this and the following step after the management plane recovery is complete.

   viocli update neutron
    manifests:  
      nsx_recover: true

4. The recommended option is to disable the previous job setting after recovery as follows:

    manifests:  
      nsx_recover: false
