Description Tzach Shefi 2016-04-24 07:48:02 UTC
Description of problem: On OSPD8's guide [1] add a section about OPSD backup/recovery, which files are important for OSPD itself.

As someone who just configured a "production" OPSD/RHOS deployment. 
Wondering which files I should backup on the undercloud. 

For instance: 
Instack.json file
My template files, network and ceph..
My deployment command, needed for expanding/shirking overcloud

Possibly more files I'm not sure which. 
Mentioning them on guide would be of added value.  

Another use case, lets assume my undercloud hardware fails, my overcloud is still running. What are my options how do I recover undercloud, is it even possible?

Hi Tzach,

This information is a part of a separate guide:

https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en/red-hat-openstack-platform/8/back-up-and-restore-red-hat-openstack-platform/back-up-and-restore-red-hat-openstack-platform

Does this guide suit your requirements?

Comment 3 Tzach Shefi 2016-05-30 13:20:50 UTC
Yep looks like it covers my problem, so all that's missing is a link/reference to to this guide on OPSD installation and usage document. 

Sorry for late replay.

Hi Tzach,

This should be included in the docs now:

https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en/red-hat-openstack-platform/8/paged/director-installation-and-usage/49-backing-up-the-undercloud

Was there anything else you were looking to add to this section?

Comment 7 Tzach Shefi 2016-09-06 06:38:21 UTC
Hi Dan, 
Nope nothing to add, looks complete and easy to follow even in case of an emergency. 
Great job!

Comment 8 Dan Macpherson 2016-09-06 06:43:09 UTC
Awesome! Thanks, Tzach!

Closing this BZ.
