backup.qam.suse.de is Failed according to netbox and not creating backups size:M
0%
Description
Motivation¶
Netbox includes backup.qam.suse.de as Failed. We didn't get any emails, though?
Acceptance criteria¶
- AC1: It is known what backup server(s) we should have in netbox
- AC2: The failure has been resolved.
Suggestions¶
- Update the FQDN of the failed entry or create a new entry in netbox
- The actual domain we want here is backup-qam.qe.nue2.suse.org
- https://netbox.suse.de/search/?q=backup-qam.qe.nue2.suse.org should show the server
- Check possibly already existing tickets about the backup servers
- Clarify what's documented in the wiki i.e. under Operate/backups https://progress.opensuse.org/projects/qa/wiki/Tools#Common-tasks-for-team-members
- Checkout and possibly update https://confluence.suse.com/pages/viewpage.action?spaceKey=maintenanceqa&title=Backup+Server

backup.qam.suse.de is now backup-qam.qe.nbg2.suse.org

Why is the wiki still talking about backup.qa.suse.de then?

In this comment
https://progress.opensuse.org/issues/132143#note-52
and the following we see related activity around the time the rsnapshot.conf was broken.
This MR https://gitlab.suse.de/qa-sle/backup-server-salt/-/merge_requests/11 is also related, and looking at /root/.ssh/config it has the same content as on backup.qa.suse.de.
So for now I assume I did the right thing, and we have a backup again.
It would be nice if someone could clarify if backup.qa.suse.de is the correct backup machine or not. Oliver, your comment was raiding more questions than answering. Basically only Liv and me are working today, and we are confused.
Then, as Liv suggested, we should investigate why noone was notified that backups weren't running.

Wow, looking at https://gitlab.suse.de/qa-sle/backup-server-salt/-/blob/master/rsnapshot/rsnapshot.conf#L42 this actually shows the broken config, but the last change of that file was July 2022??
Maybe this wasn't a problem in the past and rsnapshot got updated and is now more strict?

We still don't know why we weren't notified.

Updated by mkittler 9 months ago
The actual domain is backup-qam.qe.nue2.suse.org (and not backup-qam.qe.nbg2.suse.org and also not backup.qam.suse.de). I've updated the the corresponding confluence page: https://confluence.suse.com/display/maintenanceqa/Backup+Server
(This is a salt controlled host so a simple salt-key -L on OSD helps to find the FQDN.)

I've just updated the netbox entry. I have also updated the management status to "Active" resolving AC2.
I've also updated the FQDN on https://confluence.suse.com/pages/viewpage.action?spaceKey=maintenanceqa&title=Backup+Server.
Now we only need to clarify whether this server is actually still used at all.
