2.10.4. Recreating /etc/passwd Entries
For node host recovery, you can recreate the
/etc/passwd entries for all gears if this backup file was lost.
Note
If you are using OpenShift Enterprise 2.1.6 or later, you can instead run the
oo-admin-regenerate-gear-metadata tool on a node host to replace and recover the failed gear data, including /etc/passwd entries.
Procedure 2.8. To Recreate /etc/passwd Entries:
- Get a list of UUIDs from the directories in
/var/lib/openshift. - For each UUID, ensure the UNIX UID and GID values correspond to the group ID of the
/var/lib/openshift/UUIDdirectory. See the fourth value in the output from the following command:#
ls -d -n /var/lib/openshift/UUID - Create the corresponding entries in
/etc/passwd, using another node's/etc/passwdfile for reference.
