HP Cloud OS for Moonshot: Backup and Restore

HP Cloud OS for Moonshot is an enterprise ready product used to manage a Moonshot Chassis, discover Moonshot Servers from the managed Moonshot Chassis, and provision the given workload based on Moonshot Servers capabilities such as static web, online gaming, and such. It also enables the Cloud Administrator to set up multiple project sharing across the discovered Moonshot Servers.

This document describes how to backup and restore HP Cloud OS for Moonshot, specifically the steps for backing up and recovering the components of HP Cloud OS for Moonshot Management Host:

Administration Node

The HP Cloud OS for Moonshot Administration Node (Admin Node) hosts the Operational Dashboard that deploys private Cloud Infrastructure environments by network booting the managed virtual servers, which are typically Controller Node and Baremetal Hosts.

Controller Node

While each service can be individually deployed, HP Cloud OS for Moonshot groups these services into distinct sets for ease of architectural description:

Cloud Controller - contains those services that are considered single services for a cloud environment, such as Keystone, Glance, Eden, Nova, Eve, and Focus. Also defines the boundaries of the cloud environment from an identity standpoint. Network Controller - is a single service in a cloud and co-exists with cloud controller services. Compute Region Controller - is a pool of compute resources that can be consumed through a service API by consumers of the cloud, such as Nova. This is responsible for scheduling the launch of instances across Baremetal hosts. The scheduling is based on varied flavors of instances and available resources on the Baremetal hosts.

Baremetal Host

The Baremetal Host hosts the cloud instances using the Baremetal driver for OpenStack Nova compute service. Within the OpenStack framework, the Baremetal driver has the same role as the drivers for other hypervisors (libvirt, xen, etc.), and yet it is presently unique because the hardware is not virtualized; there is no hypervisor between the tenants and the physical hardware which includes Moonshot cartridges.
