Nicolas,

SERVERPROD : 2.6.10 server installed from scratch, all rules/directives/groups/catogies mannualy created.

SERVERTEST : 2.6.10 server installed from scratch, « configuration-repository » similar to SERVERPROD (we used the migration process)

After the « restore », we have an error on SERVERTEST :

[cid:part3.00070702.00070406 at normation.com]

This group exist on SERVERPROD (which is on the same OS, with same updates, and same rudder-server –root version)


You mean that if you go to the group page, you can go to the given group and see it by going to: http://yourserver/rudder/secure/nodeManager/groups#<http://yourserver/rudder/secure/nodeManager/groups>{"groupId":"here-the-uuid"}

Yes


I only found 2 things :

-          category.xml is not present on SERVERPROD (and i don’t know why and if it’s normal)

That should not be the case. category.xml is a file saying that the directory is a category with the name contained in the file. Without that, the directory is ignored when you are restoring.

So, there is something strange.
Are you sure there is the category.xml files present in the SERVERTEST configuration-repository/groups ? If so, are you sure they are still in the tar ?
And if so, I don't understand where they disapeared.

[root at SERVERTEST groups]# pwd
/var/rudder/configuration-repository/groups
[root at SERVERTEST groups]# ls -haltr

This category.xml file is not on the tar. I think it has been created during the restore process !



-          The contained of the « groups » folder is the same (for me it seems light, because we have a lot of group/categories in our web interface and there is not a lot of folders and files on this « groups » folder).

*IF* an archive was made, your groups and groups category (what you see in the groups screen) and the content of configuration-repository/groups should be the same. You should even find exactly the same directory structure (for exemple with the "tree --dirsfirst" command).

[root at SERVERPROD groups]# tree --dirsfirst

As you can see, Folders & xml aren’t correctly created in /var/rudder/configuration-repository/groups
Perhaps Categories & groups are seens on the web page…

The worst part on all of that is that we are not succeding in reproducing that bug, so we are just guesssing... And it seems we are not that good at guessing.


So, could do that procedure please:

  *   on SERVERTEST, go to (cd) /var/rudder/configuration-repository
  *   rm -rf groups
  *   git add -u
  *   git commit -m "Manually removing groups to see if the export is ok"
  *   then, on the archives UI of SERVERTEST, click on the "Archive groups" button
  *   look in configuration-repository/groups and check that each existing categories in the groups screen has a "category.xml" counterpart in the filesystem

[root at SERVERTEST groups]# ls

Now I have 25 Folders, like on the web interface.

There is one category.xml on each folder/subfolder

And one xml for each group.

It has restored groups that i have deleted on PRODSERVER (and that are not seen on the PRODSERVER web interface)

It has not restored 4 subcategories and their groups which is present on PRODSERVER (and that can be seen on the PRODSERVER web interface)



May it’s better to realize this operation on the PRODSERVER, as folders/xml are not ALL present on /var/rudder/configuration-repository/groups ???

On one hand it will permit to re-create folders/xmls and on the other hand it will sadly recreate deleted groups…



I can try to realize this operation (i can create a snapshot before).



The main question is : why folders/xml aren’t present on SERVPROD (the server on which i have manually created groups / categories) ????



  *   if ok, make the archive: tar –cvf xxx.tar.gz groups
  *   on SERVERPROD, go to configuration-repository
  *   rm -rf groups
  *   git add -u
  *   git commit -m "manually cleaning groups"
  *   untar xxxx.tar.gz (it should create a new groups directory)
  *   git add groups
  *   git commit -m "Importing groups"
  *   now, you should have in both the FS and git last commit the exact mirror content than what you have on the fs of SERVERTEST, which is itself the same content of what you have on you "groups" screen
  *   now, in SERVERPROD, go to "archives", and select "latest git commit" -> Restore groups
  *   try to regenerate promises


Does that procedure works ?

Thanks,
