To deploy a new instance, delete and recreate the database.
Before you begin
Important:
The automation orchestrator operator is not designed to deploy a new instance on top of an existing database. You must delete and recreate the database before you redeploy.
About this task
When a deployment of the Automation Orchestrator operator fails partway through, it may write entries to the backend database before the failure occurs. If the failed deployment is deleted and redeployment is attempted, the new credentials will not match the existing database state, preventing login.
Procedure
- Consult the vendor documentation for deleting an existing database, and delete the existing backend database using the method they recommend.
- Recreate the new database on your database host.
- Redeploy automation orchestrator.
The operator uses the new database and generates a new automation orchestrator admin credential that will function on first login.
- Retrieve the new admin password from the Kubernetes secret and log in.
