Releasing nodes from backup storage
Backup storage is connected to one specific backup destination. If you need to switch the destination, for example, from a public cloud to a local storage cluster or one public cloud bucket to another, you need to delete the backup storage by releasing all of its nodes from the backup storage cluster and create a new one. Keep in mind that by destroying backup storage you also delete all backup data on the storage cluster and cannot restore it later.
Prerequisites
- The backup storage cluster is created and registered in the Cloud Management Panel, as described in Provisioning backup storage space.
- All of the backup storage registrations are deleted, as explained in Deleting registrations.
To release a node from backup storage
Admin panel
- Go to the Storage services > Backup storage > Nodes screen.
- Click a node to release, and then on the node right pane, click Release.
- Click Release in the confirmation window.
The backup storage will remain operational until there is at least one node in it.
Command-line interface
Use the following command:
vinfra service backup node release --nodes <nodes>
--nodes <nodes>- A comma-separated list of node hostnames or IDs
For example, to release the node node003 from the backup storage, run:
# vinfra service backup node release --nodes node003
To destroy backup storage
Admin panel
- Go to the Storage services > Backup storage > Nodes screen.
- Select all of the backup nodes or click the only node in the backup storage cluster, and then click Release.
- Enter Delete in the confirmation window, and then click Delete.
Command-line interface
Use the following command:
vinfra service backup cluster release
