Shutting Down Cisco VIM Insight

To stop the Cisco VIM Insight Container services, shut down Cisco UCS VIM Insight by running the systemctl stop service command.

Procedure

Step 1

Step 2

Stop the Insight service by running the following command from the Shell window:

systemctl stop docker-insight

Check the status of Insight Container by running the following command: docker ps -a | grep insight.
```
STATUS
Up 6 seconds
```
Check the status of the service by running the following command:
```
systemctl staus docker-insight
```

The following information is displayed

Docker-insight.service – Insight Docker Service
Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/docker-insight.service; enabled; vendor preset: disabled)
Active: inactive (dead) since <Date and Time since it was last active>

Restarting Cisco VIM Insight

Procedure

Step 1

Step 2

Restart the Insight service by running the following command from the shell window:

systemctl restart docker-insight

Check the status of Insight container by running the following command: docker ps -a | grep insight.
```
STATUS
Up 6 seconds
```
Check the status of the service by running the following command:
```
systemctl status docker-insight
```

The following output is displayed:

Docker-insight.service – Insight Docker Service
Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/docker-insight.service; enabled; vendor preset: disabled)
Active: active (running) since <Date and Time when it got active.>

Restoring VIM Insight

Cisco VIM Insight can be restored to its previous running state which existed at the time of backup.

Note

Insight should not be running on the node on which restore operation will be performed

Procedure

Step 1

Re-image the Insight management node with the ISO version with which you want to restore the node, and with the same IP address that is used before the failure of the node.

Note

NOTE: Skip Step 1 if re-image already done with the ISO during management node restore. Insight restore can also be performed without re-image with ISO . Uninstall the Insight through bootstrap_insight.py and then restoring it by following below mentioned steps but this needs to be only done when you face issues with Insight and not in case of management node failure.

Step 2

Navigate to /var/cisco/insight_backup/ directory at the remote server where the backup directory was copied during the backup operation.

Step 3

Copy the backup file to the /var/cisco/insight_backup/ directory of the re-imaged management node. For example, to copy the backup directory from the remote host 20.0.0.5 to the management node /var/cisco/insight_backup/directory, execute the following command sequence: rsync -e ssh -rtvpX --numeric-ids root@20.0.0.5:/var/cisco/insight_backup/backup_2017-01-09_14-04-38 /var/cisco/insight_backup.

Step 4

In /var/cisco/insight_backup/backup_<date-time> directory, execute the following command:

# ./insight_restore –h

insight_restore  : Cisco VIM Insight Restore Script
----------------------------------------------------

 Usage: ./insight_restore


 -v          : Enable verbose mode

 -h          : To display this help message


    # ./insight_restore
    This will initiate an Insight install with the backed up data.

VIM Insight restore logs are at: /var/log/insight/<bootstrap_insight_<date>_<time>.log

Reconfiguring VIM Insight

Insight reconfigure action provides you with three major functionalities:

Reconfigure Insight TLS Certificate.
Switch from Self Signed TLS Certificate to 3^rd Party TLS Certificate.
Reconfigure Insight MySQL Database Password.

Note

Insight reconfigure is not allowed after an update, as update is an intermediate stage between rollback and commit.

Reconfiguring Insight TLS Certificate
Reconfiguring Insight MySQL Database Password
Update VIM Insight
Commit VIM Insight

Reconfiguring Insight TLS Certificate

As the Insight web-service is protected by TLS, hence reconfigure action provides flexibility to change the existing TLS Certificate. As there were two approaches to configure it, there are also two approaches to change it.

Reconfigure 3rd Party TLS Certificate
Reconfigure Self Signed TLS Certificate
Switch from Self Signed TLS Certificate to 3rd Party TLS Certificate

Reconfigure 3^rd Party TLS Certificate

If you had provided your own TLS Certificate before Insight Installation through PEM_PATH key in insight_setup_data.yaml, then follow the below mentioned steps to reconfigure it.

Procedure

Step 1

To reconfigure the 3rd Party TLS certification run the following command:

# cd <path insight_setup_data.yaml>

Step 2

Open insight_setup_data.yaml file.

# vi insight_setup_data.yaml

Step 3

Edit the insight_setup_data.yaml to change value of PEM_PATH key to point to path of your new valid TLS Certificate. Save the file after editing. For example: PEM_PATH: "/root/new_tls.pem"

Note

Only change in value of PEM_PATH key is allowed during reconfigure. Any change detected in insight_setup_data.yaml other than PEM_PATH value will result in failure of Insight reconfigure.

Step 4

Run the bootstrap command as follows:

# cd <insight_ws>
# ./bootstrap_insight.py –a reconfigure –f <path_to insight_setup_data.yaml>

VIM Insight reconfigure logs are at: /var/log/insight/<bootstrap_insight_<date>_<time>.log

Perform the action. Continue (Y/N)y

Reconfigure Self Signed TLS Certificate

If you had created a new TLS Certificate through tls_insight_cert_gen.py before Insight Installation then follow the below mentioned steps to reconfigure it.

Procedure

Step 1

Run the following commands to reconfigure the self signed TLS certificate:

# cd <insight_ws>
# ./tls_insight_cert_gen.py –h
usage: tls_insight_cert_gen.py [-h] [--overwrite] --file INSIGHTSETUPDATA 
TLS cert generator Insight

optional arguments:
  -h, --help          show this help message and exit
--overwrite, -o       Overwrite Insight certificates if already present in   openstack config directory
--file INSIGHTSETUPDATA, -f INSIGHTSETUPDATA
 Location of insight_setup_data.yaml 
	    # ./tls_insight_cert_gen.py –f <path insight_setup_data.yaml> --overwrite
		This will overwrite the existing TLS certificate.

Switch from Self Signed TLS Certificate to 3^rd Party TLS Certificate

If you had created a new TLS Certificate via tls_insight_cert_gen.py before Insight Installation and now want to switch to your own TLS Certificate then follow the below mentioned steps.

Note

You cannot switch from 3^rd Party TLS Certificate to Self Signed TLS Certificate.

Procedure

Step 1

To switch from self signed TLS Certificate to 3rd party TLS certificate open and edit the insight_setup_data.yaml to add PEM_PATH by running the following command:

# cd <path insight_setup_data.yaml>
# vi insight_setup_data.yaml
Edit the insight_setup_data.yaml to add PEM_PATH key to point to path of your new valid TLS Certificate. Save the file after editing.
For example:
PEM_PATH: “/root/new_tls.pem”

Note

Only addition of PEM_PATH key is allowed during reconfigure. Any change detected in insight_setup_data.yaml other than PEM_PATH value will result in failure of Insight reconfigure.

Step 2

Following is the command to run the bootstrap:

# cd <insight_ws>
 # ./bootstrap_insight.py –a reconfigure –f <path_to insight_setup_data.yaml>

VIM Insight reconfigure logs are at: /var/log/insight/<bootstrap_insight_<date>_<time>.log
Perform the action. Continue (Y/N)y

Reconfigure Insight SMTP Server

Insight requires a valid SMTP Server to send mails to users (Pod-Admin, UI-Admin and regular users). If SMTP Server goes down due to any reason you can reconfigure it.

Procedure

Step 1

Following are the steps to reconfigure the SMTP server:

# cd <path insight_setup_data.yaml>
Open insight_setup_data.yaml file
# vi insight_setup_data.yaml
Edit the insight_setup_data.yaml to change value of INSIGHT_SMTP_SERVER key. Save the file after editing.

Note

Only change in value of PEM_PATH and INSIGHT_SMTP_SERVER key is allowed during reconfigure. Any change detected in insight_setup_data.yaml other than these values will result in failure of Insight reconfigure.

Step 2

Run the bootstrap command as follows:

# cd <insight_ws>
# ./bootstrap_insight.py –a reconfigure –f <path_to insight_setup_data.yaml>
VIM Insight reconfigure logs are at: /var/log/insight/<bootstrap_insight_<date>_<time>.log
Perform the action. Continue (Y/N)y

Update VIM Insight

VIM Insight Update provides you the feature to switch to a new Insight release.

Following are some of the key points:

Procedure

Step 1

The update action will make the old docker containers of insight and mariadb in exit state and bring up new ones with the new tag.

Step 2

The old containers and images are restored until you perform the Commit action.

Step 3

Update is an intermediate action, from this state either you can do a Commit action to settle for the current version or do a rollback to revert back to the old version.

Step 4

The old workspace will be preserved in case you want to do a rollback to the previous version.

Step 5

After update your Insight workspace will be the new workspace you just extracted out of the tar ball.

Step 6

After an update operation, backup and reconfigure action is not allowed from either old or new Insight workspace.

Note

Do not delete your old Insight workspace until you have successfully performed a Commit to the new Insight update.

Update Scenarios

Update action has the following scenarios:

Insight and mariadb containers will get updated to a new tag.
Either insight or mariadb container will get updated to a new tag.

Update VIM Insight with Internet Access

Following are the steps to update VIM Insight:

Procedure

Step 1

Get the new installer tar ball, which will be available after each release.

Extract the tar ball to get the new Insight workspace by running the following command:

# tar –xvzf mercury-installer.tar.gz

Step 2

Update the VIM insight by running the following commands:

# cd /root/<new_insight_ws>.
/bootstrap_insight.py –a update 

VIM Insight update logs are at: /var/log/insight/<bootstrap_insight_<date>_<time>.log
