Description John Matthews 2020-04-09 00:27:23 UTC

We ran into an issue migrating 'Robot Shop', the redis DB had an empty PV.
The Migration attempted to proceed, got stuck for ~1 hour, then was marked successful.  Upon trying to use Robot Shop we weren't able to add anything to the 'cart'.

After investigation it was determined that the root cause was a bug in Velero working with empty PVs.


The below Velero PR is believed to fix the problem
https://github.com/vmware-tanzu/velero/pull/2390
"bug fix: save PodVolumeBackup manifests to object storage even if the volume was empty, so that on restore, the PV is dynamically reprovisioned if applicable"

PR for upstream fix, cherry-picked to our repo: https://github.com/konveyor/velero/pull/58

Verified using CAM 1.2 stage

A sample application (nginx) using an empty PVC was migrated with no problem.
