Case 1:
-
Create a backup.
-
Restore the above backup.
-
Power off the volume attached node during the restoring.
-
Wait for the Longhorn node down.
-
Wait for the restore volume being reattached and starting restoring volume with state
Degraded
. -
Wait for the restore complete.
Note: During the restoration process, if the engine process fails to communicate with a replica, all replicas will be marked as
ERR
, and the volume’sRestoreRequired
status cannot be set tofalse
. Longhorn relies on theRestoreRequired
value to determine the completion of the restoration and whether the failed replicas can be automatically salvaged.In this case, the volume would remain in detached/faulted state.
-
Attach the volume and verify the restored data.
-
Verify the volume works fine.
Case 2:
- Repeat the steps from case 1 with an encrypted volume.
