Backing Up And Restoring A Node Database - IBM Aspera HST Admin Manual

Restore Access Keys
Run the following command:
# /opt/aspera/bin/asnodeadmin [-u username] --access-key-restore filename
Use the -u username option to change the Node API user (and system user) associated with the restored access
key.

Backing up and Restoring a Node Database

These instructions describe how to back up and restore the entire Redis database of a node, which includes Node API
users, their access keys, and transfer history. If your transfer server is an IBM Aspera on Cloud (AoC) node, migrate
AoC data from one node to another by backing up the Redis database on the original node and restoring the database
on a new node.
If you only need to back up and restore Node API usernames and passwords (the Node API user database), use
asnodeadmin commands; see
also want to back up and restore access keys, see
282.
These instructions assume that the node is using the default port for the Redis database, port 31415. If your
deployment uses a different port for Redis, substitute it in the commands accordingly.
1. Verify that the original node and new node are running the same version of Aspera software.
Run ascp -A on a command line to view the Aspera product and version.
2. On the original node, back up the database.
Stop asperanoded and create the backup file by running the following commands:
# systemctl stop asperanoded
# /opt/aspera/bin/asredis -p 31415 BGREWRITEAOF
The backup is stored as appendonly.aof in the following location:
/opt/aspera/var/appendonly.aof
3. If migrating the database, move the appendonly.aof to the same location on the new node.
4. On the new node, stop asperanoded:
# systemctl stop asperanoded
5. Flush existing data from the Redis database on the new node.
#/opt/aspera/bin/asredis -p 31415 FLUSHALL
6. Load the backup database file into the new node database.
# cat appendonly.aof | /opt/aspera/bin/asredis --pipe -p 31415
7. On both nodes, restart asperanoded.
# systemctl start asperanoded
8. In AoC, confirm that the hostname matches the DNS entry for the new node.
To view the node URL, go to Admin View > Nodes & Storage.
9. Confirm the database restoration succeeded.
