Hi All,
I've been asked to test the HE restore process but after taking a look at the
documentation I'm afraid I'm none the wiser.
I thought there would be a simple 'restore in situ' option but it appears not.
Please clarify exactly what you mean.
Are you currently already in a restore situation, where something is
broken enough so that you want to restore from backup? What's broken?
Are you preparing/exercising for a future restore event? What
use-cases do you want to prepare/test for? E.g. it's very different to
prepare to a case where a trivial corruption/user-error/bug/whatever
"just" removed some critical files on your engine VM, and to prepare
to a case where the complete site/hardware went through a natural
disaster and you buy new hardware/storage/etc. and want to restore on
them. And obviously there are many other cases in-between/around
these.
My environments were build using ansible with a hostedengine .json
answer file.
Meaning, running the hosted_engine_setup role directly? Without
'hosted-engine --deploy'?
Nice to know about that - it's quite rare.
From what I've read so far it appears that a new HE VM needs to
be built with new engine storage etc
Correct, in most cases.
We do have a section about restoring a backup inside the engine VM,
assuming that it's still ok - search for "Overwriting a Self-Hosted
Engine from an Existing Backup".

Is there a tried and tested simple solution for restoring a hosted engine in a 3 node HCI
GlusterFS 2+1 environment please?
Not sure about HCI/gluster - adding Ritesh.
