Migrating resource-manager data in an easy way?

[u.avsec]

Hi.

We have a resource-manager on server A with bunch of id-pools and allocations. We are looking how to clone that into server B. For example, ncs_load fails:

ncs_load: 642: maapi_load_config(sock, tid, flags, abspath(argv[0])) failed: external error (19): 
Error on line 13: object is not writable: /ralloc:resource-pools/idalloc:id-pool[idalloc:name='POOL']
/idalloc:allocation[idalloc:id='service_instance']/idalloc:response

For now we are searching for a simple straightforward way to do this. Transplanting whole CDB is not possible atm.

Any ideas?

Hello @u.avsec 

What are you trying to achieve? If you want the resource pools configuration (id-pools...) then yes you can load merge it.

I understand that you can't restore the whole CDB, if it's the case and if you want to replicate the allocated resources, you'd need to re-request them.

This is where it gets complicated, are these allocations done through services or directly from the CLI?

Please let me know.

Yeah it is complicated, allocations were done as part of service provisioning.

We noticed though that we didn't include -O with ncs_load command, at the moment we are testing if this will solve our problem, as it seems right now that was the issue with original try.
