Replace server identity #11296
-
|
Hello, I have a home hobby set up with 2 servers running Cloudstack 4.20.1.0 with management servers load balanced. One of my servers died abruptly and i am replacing it with a new one (I dont have a backup). The dead server is still present in the database and visible in the management server console. Is it possible to let my new server assume the identity of the old one or do I need to clean out everything from the database manually and do a fresh install of the new server ? |

@nlindblo , I think you can do a 1o1 replacement if all IP addresses, hostname and the OS (version) etc are the same. I can only think of any hardware mac-addresses that might be a problem but I don’t think these are recorded for hosts. In my environment those are just zeros for any hosts that are not system VMs. You can check that to be sure. |
