Hi all,
Well, as happens every time I play with the lava cloud nothing goes quite as smoothly as it should. Essentially, what's happened, is that I've suspended the staging instance, then I tried the migration, but that failed because of an OpenStack network issue. This I fixed, but it still won't migrate for reasons I don't fully understand.
I then tried un-suspending the staging instance and it's not coming back up. <<sigh>>
The *easy* path to follow would be to blow it all away and just make a new staging instance on bare metal, but I'm worried about losing the history on that machine, so I'm going to endeavour to unknot the issue and get staging back up again so that I can at least backup up the database so we maintain the history, then I'll move it to bare metal.
Sorry for the delays, but I can't give a timeframe as yet as to when staging will be available again.
I'd like to canvas people's opinions on how important the staging history is. It seems to me that it probably isn't that important, but other perspectives would be useful.
Before we have a consistent procedure for using tests on staging as prerequisite for updating production, my feeling is that the data on staging is not so important. That will change once that procedure is in place.
