Kaizen Production Backups¶
Foreman VM¶
Foreman VM is backed up nightly at 2:35am. The VM pauses for about 2 minutes during the backup cloning process.
The backups are located in /var/lib/libvirt/hn/backups/foreman-backups/ on the Haas Master.
The backup script is /root/scripts/VM_backup.sh on the Haas Master. There is also a copy in this repo:
VM_backup.sh
It is run from a root cronjob which logs to /var/log/backups/foreman-backups.log.
The script deletes any backups that are over 7 days old, but it won’t delete them if they are in a state other than “shut off”.
Openstack MYSQL database¶
The Openstack MYSQL database is backed up nightly at 2:06 am. The database remains live while the backup is made, but the backup does not preserve any changes made after the process initiated.
Backups are located in /var/lib/backups/openstack_db/ on both the production controller (node 47)
and the staging area controller (node 25).
The script is found at /var/lib/backups/scripts/openstack_db_bkp.sh on those nodes.
A copy is also in this repo:
openstack_db_bkp.sh
