Thread: "insert-ethers --dump" equivalent?

Part of our process when installing a new cluster has been to run "insert-ethers --dump" after validation and redirect it to a text file. This file is then kept in case we need to re-install the nodes. Just execute the file, and the database gets rebuilt.

While researching OCS 5 and Kusu, I have not yet been able to find a replacement for this functionality. The closest I have found is "boothost -l" to list the parameters. However, it does not seem to output in a format I can use to restore the database like the --dump flag of insert-ethers.

Is there a command in Kusu/OCS that will perform this functionality?

Hi ShadowAce,

I'm not really sure what 'insert-ethers --dump' does, but I know that there is an easy way to rebuild the Kusu database. Just use the following to get a database dump:

# genconfig debug

You can save this into a file and then use it to rebuild the database. It is similar to 'dbreport bug' option in Rocks.

Hope this helps.

Hi Uncas,

Thanks for the reply.

"insert-ethers --dump" is a Rocks command that dumps the cluster database into a file in a format that if you merely execute the file, it will rebuild the database.

I will look into genconfig debug as well.

I did a "genconfig debug" and got an error:
pg_dump: [archiver (db)] connection to database "kusudb" failed: FATAL: no pg_hba.conf entry for host "[local]", user "postgres", database "kusudb", SSL off

Any ideas on what I did wrong?

Hi

Which version of Kusu are you using?

Code:

cat /etc/kusu-release

cat /etc/kusu-release:
Kusu "Platform OCS for Dell" 5 (buld 2039)

You could try the following:

# wget http://svn.osgdc.org/browse/~raw,r=4...onfig/debug.py
# genconfig debug

Thanks George!

That did the trick. The problem was the plugin was using the postgres user, rather than the "nobody" user.

You're most welcome. :-)
