Backup SDDC Manager (File Level and Snapshot)

Before starting this activity take snapshot and file level backup for SDDC manager.

Log into the database

# psql -h localhost -U postgres

# \c domainmanager

# \x

Retrieve Task ID’s

# select task_name,id,execution_order,status from processing_task where execution_id='ID' order by execution_order;

# select task_name,id,execution_order,status from processing_task where execution_id='4ca26ccf-ddcd-440a-873a-9b53f97838fb' order by execution_order;

# select * from processing_task  where id='7f000001-8c77-12c4-818c-f3b6f3c203c0';

# select * from processing_context where id='7f000001-8c77-12c4-818c-f3b6f3c103bf';

Update Task Status

 Update Process IDs identified in last step.

Processing tasks

# update processing_task set status='POSTVALIDATION_COMPLETED_WITH_SUCCESS' where id='7f000001-8c77-12c4-818c-f3b6f3c203c0';

Processing Context

# Update processing_context set status='COMPLETED_WITH_SUCCESS' where id='7f000001-8c77-12c4-818c-f3b6f3c103bf';

Restart Services 

Now restart the domainmanager, operationsmanager and commonsvcs.service services. Wait about 3 – 5 minutes depending on your environment and log back into SDDC Manager. This is optional. Only required in case retry task not working after update database.

# systemctl restart domainmanager, operationsmanager and commonsvcs. service

 Retry Workflow

Retry same failed workflow from SDDC management console so it can proceed without boot disk validation.
