Many of us might have encountered this situation where Cloud Builder UI doesn’t provide a back button after a successful SDDC bringup. I have written a blog Post in the past where I showed the API method of resetting CB for a new bringup.
This post is an extension of my earlier post. Here I will demonstrate the database hack method to initiate a fresh bringup.
Step 1: Login to Cloud Builder via SSH and switch to root user.
Step 2: Connect to the Database
|
1 |
# psql -U postgres -d bringup -h /home/postgresql/ |
Step 3: Nuke the Bringup related tables
|
1 2 3 4 5 |
bringup=# delete from execution; bringup=# delete from "Resource"; bringup=# \q |
Refresh the CB UI and you will be returned to the checklist page.
Important Note:
If you get this error “psql: FATAL: no pg_hba.conf entry for host “[local]”, user “postgres”, database “bringup”, SSL off” in step 2, then edit the /data/pgdata/pg_hba.conf file and uncomment below line:
# “local” is for Unix domain socket connections only
local all all trust
And restart postgres service: # systemctl restart postgres.service
And that’s it for this post.
