See below to restore the PKI Hub status when installed in a single node.

Restoring the database

Restore the database according to the vendor's instructions. 

The database should be accessible on the same IP address or hostname as in the original installation.

Restoring the HSM

If the deployed solutions use an HSM (Hardware Security Module) to protect private keys, restore the device using the tools provided by the HSM vendor. 

Restoring the network

Configure the same network settings as in the original installation. For example:

  • Node IP addresses and hostnames
  • DNS and NTP servers

Restoring the PKI Hub software

Follow the steps in Starting up PKI Hub to reproduce the PKI Hub installation used for Backing up. Specifically:

  • Install the same PKI Hub release
  • Add the same number of nodes as in the original installation

Restoring the PKI Hub state

Restore the state of the PKI Hub installation.

  1. Import the license as explained in Setting the license.
  2. In any installation node, run the clusterctl backup restore command using the file generated when Backing up

    This command is expected to take ~5 min to complete.

  3. Log in to the Management Console at:
    https://<hostname>:8443/management-console
  4. Click Deploy for all the solutions deployed on the original installation.

    The deployment process is expected to take ~30min (~5 min per solution).
