Issue/Introduction

Symptoms:
After upgrading VIO to 7.0 (using Backup and Restore), the Management vCenter is not getting populated in OMS Configuration Page.

Environment

VMware Integrated Openstack 7.x

Cause

When using backup and restore procedure, label restore: "true" must be located in discovery object.
The UI uses this label to filter out the repeated vCenter objects - however, this restore label is missing.

Resolution

This is a known issue affecting VIO 7.0 upgrade, when restoring deployment from VIO 6.0 to VIO 7.0.
We can manually add the label restore: "true" for the Discovery objects that contain mapping to the vCenter.

Workaround:
Workaround steps:

1. Login to VIO Management VM (OMS)
2. Find vCenters that are labeled with restore: "true" as a string

osget vcenter -l restore="true"

3. Once we have obtained vCenter names from the above command's output, we need to add a restore label for all the discovery objects which contain mapping to the listed vCenter servers.

Discovery name format: vcenter-${vcenter_name}

osctl label discovery vcenter-${vcenter_name} restore="true"
