Issue/Introduction
Purpose of the KB is to provide a way for customers to identify and then be able to access the correct SDDC Manager OVA in order to restore SDDC manager from a prior backup.
Environment
VMware Cloud Foundation 4.x
VMware Cloud Foundation 5.x
Resolution
1. Extract the backup file folder following the steps mentioned in the Prepare for Restoring SDDC Manager section of the VMware Cloud Foundation admin guide for the applicable VCF version
2. In the extracted backup file folder, locate and open the metadata.json file in a text editor.
Example:
{
"lcm": "5.2.1-24307788",
"domainmanager": "5.2.1-24307788",
"operationsmanager": "5.2.1-24307788",
"commonsvcs": "5.2.1-24307788",
"ip": "###.###.##.##",
"hostname": "#######.###.###",
"sddc_manager_ova_location": "################.#########.#########",
"datacenter": "###-##-##,
"resource_pool": ####,
"cluster": "###-##-###-##",
"port_group": "###-###",
"vsan_datastore": "####-###-###",
"netmask": "####-###-###",
"gateway": "###.###.##.##",
"domain": "#####.###",
"search_path": "######.###,",
"fips_enabled": ######
}
3. In the JSON file, find the services build number associated with the lcm, domainmanager, operationsmanager, and commonsvcs services.
For example, if the JSON includes "commonsvcs": "5.2.1-24307788", the associated services build number is 24307788.
4. Determine the correct SDDC Manager OVA from the below table to download based on the services build number.
