Description Emma Heftman 2017-02-14 15:04:03 UTC
Backup and restore of hosted-engine will now include the possibility to use a CLI command to remove the

Comment 1 Yaniv Lavi 2017-02-21 12:54:03 UTC
Previously, when restoring a backup of a hosted engine on a different environment, for disaster recovery purposes, administrators were sometimes required to remove the previous hosts from the engine. This was accomplished from within the engine's database, which is a risk-prone procedure.
In this release, a new CLI option can be used during the restore procedure to enable administrators to remove the previous host directly from the engine backup.

Scenario setup: 
- Deploy hosted-engine on a couple of hosts;
- also add an host not involved in hosted-engine
- add a regular storage domain,
- add a couple of VMs
- take a backup of the engine with engine-backup

Try the recovery over two different hosts and also over the same hosts:
- start hosted-engine-setup on the first host
- point to the same storage
- respond no to: 'Automatically execute engine-setup on the engine appliance on first boot'
- copy the backup of the engine DB to the engine VM
- connect to the engine VM and execute engine-backup to restore the backup appending --he-remove-hosts option
- execute engine-setup
- come back to hosted-engine-setup and terminate the deployment

At the end only the host where you run hosted-engine --deploy should be there as an hosted-engine host; other hosts (non involved in HE) should be there as well

We will use bug 1420604 to track items related to SHE backup and restore, and use the information in comment 1 as a reference.

Closing as duplicate.
