VBA Factory restore

[davehill]

There's something going on with IAM and I would like to wipe all the config and try again from scratch - how can that be done?

Hi Dave,

Best would be to work with support if you want to keep the deployed appliance to find a solution. The easiest would be to deploy from zero.

May I ask the reason of the wipe since you mention something is going on with IAM which is a bit unclear to me.

I'm deploying new instances using terraform and they start partially configured with config.ini listed as the default IAM role.

I've been scratching my head trying to work out what is wrong and wanted to clear out the reference to config.ini to get the start screen that says manual or automatic.

I think the problem may be the USER_DATA I'm adding to encrypt the second volume (it's unencrypted by default and an SCP blocks deployment) as it adds text to config.ini

#! /bin/bash

/bin/echo -e '[CAmazonConfigurationOptions] \nDefaultKmsEncryptionKeyForWorkerVolumes="alias/aws/ebs"' | tee /etc/veeam/awsbackup/config.ini

Hi Dave,

I think by doing this you fully overwrite the existing config instead of maybe adding those 2 lines? If I recall correct, using "tee" by default overwrites it instead of append (-a parameter).

I've updated the user data script so it appends but still get the same deal with it bypassing the Default IAM Role setup.

First it asks for the instance id, then it does the system update, then username and password creation, then login and I'm in.

is there an option to add the Default IAM role in this file?

Here's config.ini now:

Code: Select all

[LogOptions]
LogLevel = "Normal"

[CRestOptions]
UseSameOriginPolicy = "true"
HttpPort = "10999"
[COptions]
CertificateThumbprint = "HIDDEN"

[CDatabaseConfiguration]
AutoConfigurationInstanceType = "t3.medium"

[CAmazonConfigurationOptions]
DefaultKmsEncryptionKeyForWorkerVolumes="alias/aws/ebs"
