Chapter 4. Troubleshooting


Use this information to diagnose and resolve issues during backup and recovery.

The name specified for the new AutomationController custom resource must not match an existing deployment or the recovery process will fail.

If your AutomationController customer resource matches an existing deployment, perform the following steps to resolve the issue.

Procedure

  1. Delete the existing AutomationController and the associated postgres PVC:

    oc delete automationcontroller <YOUR_DEPLOYMENT_NAME> -n <YOUR_NAMESPACE>
    
    oc delete pvc postgres-13-<YOUR_DEPLOYMENT_NAME>-13-0 -n <YOUR_NAMESPACE>
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
  2. Use AutomationControllerRestore with the same deployment_name in it:

    oc apply -f restore.yaml
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
