Step 1. Connect to SynetoOS appliance via SSH as admin

ssh admin@<your_ip_address_or_hostname>

 

Step 2. Become Super User

sudo su

 

Step 3. Import the pool ("How to Import an Existing Pool in SynetoOS 6")

Step 4. List available cluster databases to restore

zfs list -rt snapshot  | grep meta

Example

test33/_metadata@auto:k8s-metadata-2025-01-13-1445   987K      -      998K  -
test33/_metadata@auto:k8s-metadata-2025-01-13-1500   987K      -      998K  -
test33/_metadata@auto:k8s-metadata-2025-01-13-1515   987K      -      998K  -
test33/_metadata@auto:k8s-metadata-2025-01-13-1530   986K      -      997K  -
test33/_metadata@auto:k8s-metadata-2025-01-13-1545   987K      -      998K  -
test33/_metadata@auto:k8s-metadata-2025-01-13-1600   987K      -      998K  -
test33/_metadata@auto:k8s-metadata-2025-01-13-1615    19K      -      997K  -

 

Step 5. Restore cluster databases (replace <timestamp> with the information from Step 4)

/usr/share/syneto-edge/repo/restore_cluster_metadata_from_snapshot.sh <timestamp>

EXAMPLE

[root@syneto-os-5 admin]# /usr/share/syneto-edge/repo/restore_cluster_metadata_from_snapshot.sh 2025-01-13-1615
