‹ PREV | ^ UP | NEXT › moon-image-builder HP Cloud OS for Moonshot: Backup and Restore HP Cloud OS for Moonshot is an enterprise ready product used to manage a Moonshot Chassis, discover Moonshot Servers from the managed Moonshot Chassis, and provision the given workload based on Moonshot Servers capabilities such as static web, online gaming, and such. It also enables the Cloud Administrator to set up multiple project sharing across the discovered Moonshot Servers.
Controller Node Baremetal Host Nightly Backup of Controller Node and Baremetal Host must occur at the same time to preserve the system state. We recommend designing and implementing a virtual machine-based backup policy, which enables IT Administrators or Backup Administrators to design a simple backup policy in comparison to using file-based solutions.
Backup strategy The following are considerations you should understand and discuss before performing a Management Host backup: 1. Perform a full backup of HP Cloud OS for Moonshot Management host as soon as the cloud and region are active. 2. Perform a nightly back of the Controller Node and Baremetal Host at the same time. 3. Trigger a backup before any scheduled maintenance. Ensure you follow a power ON/OFF sequence. See the Powering on/off the Management Host. 4.
3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Open the HP Cloud OS for Moonshot Administration Dashboard in a browser. Navigate to Cloud -> Manage Nodes. Notice that the state of the nodes is set to OFF. Power on the Controller node. Wait until the state of the Controller node changes to Deployed, then power on the Baremetal host. Wait until the state of the Baremetal host changes to Deployed. Your HP Cloud OS for Moonshot Management host is now up and running.
Use the following steps to restore your Management host in the event of node failure: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Follow the recommended power off sequence. Login to the vSphere client. Delete the virtual machine that is corrupt. Copy the virtual machine from bkp datastore to the running datastore. Browse the copied datastore and navigate to the newly copied VM folder. Open the folder, and then right-click on .vmtx file and select Add to Inventory. Follow the recommended power on sequence.
