Etcd restore
Hi,
This question is related to etcd backup and restore.
I've set up a kubernetes cluster using stacked etc topology using kubeadm. Dual control-plane nodes and dual worker-nodes. I end up with the static pod manifests in /etc/kubernetes/manifests
and the control-plane services are running as pods. Only kubelet is running as a systemd service.
I've created a snapshot of my etcd databases on both control-plane nodes.
I simulate a data failure:
1. Stop API servers by removing the manifest files.
2. Delete /var/lib/etcd/
on both control-plane nodes.
Now I want to do a complete restore of etcd database.
I'm doing it using etcdctl on both control-plane nodes.
It seems to work and I get the output:
2022-07-01 09:05:14.228623 I | mvcc: restore compact to 42333 2022-07-01 09:05:14.233684 I | etcdserver/membership: added member a874c87fd42044f [https://127.0.0.1:2380] to cluster c9be114fc2da2776
kubectl get nodes is showing all nodes ready. However, when I do a single change, such as scaling a deployment. Something gets really wrong. Suddenly the API servers disagree on node health, and the replication change is not performed.
Am I doing this wrong?

@oleksazhel Thank you for your willingness to help.
I think my error was to do separate etcd snapshot. One for each node. Then I restored each node from its own snapshot.
I read in etcd documentation that "all that is needed is a single snapshot “db” file" and "all members should restore using the same snapshot."
https://etcd.io/docs/v3.5/op-guide/recovery/Doing like this made it work:
- Make one snapshot from a control-plane node.
- Stop etcd, api-server, kube-scheduler, kube-controller on both nodes.
- Delete etcd data-dir on both nodes to simulate data loss.
- Restore etcd data-dir on first node using
etcdctl snapshot restore
- Copy snapshot to second node and restore using
etcdctl snapshot restore
- Start etcd and verify
etcdctl endpoint health
,etcdctl endpoint status
,etcdctl member list
- Start api-server, kube-controller and kube-scheduler
- Restart kubelet

@pnts Could you provide output of
ETCDCTL_API=3 etcdctl -w table \ --cacert /etc/kubernetes/pki/etcd/ca.crt \ --cert /etc/kubernetes/pki/etcd/server.crt \ --key /etc/kubernetes/pki/etcd/server.key \ member list
and
ETCDCTL_API=3 etcdctl -w table \ --endpoints <CP1_IP_ADDRESS>:2379,<CP2_IP_ADDRESS>:2379 \ --cacert /etc/kubernetes/pki/etcd/ca.crt \ --cert /etc/kubernetes/pki/etcd/server.crt \ --key /etc/kubernetes/pki/etcd/server.key \ endpoint status
