Restore Internal Object Store

Before you start

Goal

  • Restore a backup of the Altair SLC Hub internal object store

Prerequisites

  • A previously taken backup
  • If you are using Windows, you will need to login as a user that is a member of the Administrators group, and the command prompt must be started 'as Administrator'. These steps will permit use of the hubctl command.

Internal Object Store restore procedure

To restore the internal object store, the data directory is restored from a backup.

To restore a backup, make sure the Hub is stopped. This can be done by running: 

hubctl service stop

Warning

This may cause data loss if you haven't created a backup.

Run the following command to clear the existing data directory: 

rm -rf [var directory]/objstore/data

Then, restore the data from the backup as superuser to preserve ownership and permissions: 

sudo tar --same-owner -xvpf HubObjectStoreBackup.tar [var directory]/objstore

Delete the [var directory]\objstore\data directory. Now right click on the backup zip file, select Extract all, set the directory to be extracted to as [var directory]\objstore and click Extract.

Verification

Backup Restored

  • Verify the backup has been extracted to the directory correctly
