server backend ha cluster includes a command line utility named chef backend ctl this command line tool is used to manage the chef infra server backend ha cluster start and stop individual services and tail chef infra server log files backup use the backup subcommand is to backup the data for a node in the backend ha cluster this command is typically run against a follower node use the force option to run this command against all nodes in the backend ha cluster the backup is created as a tar gz file and is located in var opt chef backup syntax this subcommand has the following syntax chef backend ctl backup options options this subcommand has the following options with external use to specify that data on an external postgresql database should be removed examples backup a node in the backend ha cluster from a follower node run the following command chef backend ctl backup create cluster use the create cluster subcommand to initialize the cluster state including the postgresql data store and then bootstrap the first node in a backend ha cluster or assist in the recovery of the entire backend ha cluster syntax this subcommand has the following syntax chef backend ctl create cluster options options this subcommand has the following options elasticsearch wait time the maximum amount of time in seconds to wait for elasticsearch to start default value 30 etcd wait time the maximum amount of time in seconds to wait for etcd to start default value 30 quorum loss recovery resets the cluster identifier in etcd to this node if nodes in a backend ha cluster are not available etcd may not be able to form a cluster if etcd cannot form a cluster rebuild the cluster first reset the cluster identifier on an active node rebuild the nodes that will be part of the cluster and then rejoin the rebuilt nodes to the cluster by using the chef backend ctl join cluster subcommand y yes do not prompt for confirmation examples none cleanse the cleanse subcommand is used to re set a machine in the chef infra server backend ha cluster to the state it was in prior to the first time the reconfigure subcommand is run this command will destroy all data configuration files and logs the software that was put on disk by the package installation will remain re run chef backend ctl reconfigure to recreate the default data and configuration files syntax this subcommand has the following syntax chef backend ctl cleanse options this subcommand has the following options with external use to specify that data on an external postgresql database should be removed examples none cluster

syntax chef backend ctl cluster status options options this subcommand has the following options json return cluster health information as json examples return cluster health data as json chef backend ctl cluster status json demote use the demote subcommand to demote the current leader in the backend ha cluster after which a new leader is elected from the group of available followers in the backend ha cluster this command will complete with an exit code of 0 if the original leader was demoted and a new leader was elected successfully return an error message and a non zero exit code if leader election is prevented because failover has been disabled for either the cluster or the node or if a new leader could not be elected within the allowed time syntax this subcommand has the following syntax chef backend ctl demote examples none force leader use the force leader subcommand to force the node from which the command is run to become the leader in the backend ha cluster if there is not already an elected leader this command should only be run if the backend cluster appears to not have an elected and available leader all of the nodes in the backend ha cluster are believed to be in a healthy state if one or more nodes are not healthy first remove the unhealthy nodes rebuild and then rejoin them to the cluster this command will run the chef backend ctl cluster status subcommand to determine if a leader exists warning nodes in the backend ha cluster may not be visible to each other when they are located in network partitions this may prevent a cluster status check from discovering that a leader exists if nodes exist on network partitions to prevent this scenario first run chef backend ctl cluster status and then verify the expected number of nodes in the backend ha cluster as healthy and waiting_for_leader before running this command complete with an exit code of 0 if the node from which the command is run becomes the leader return an error message and a non

subcommand to get the values for publish_address and vip_interface prior to bootstrapping a new node for the backend ha cluster warning service specific configuration settings etcd elasticsearch leaderl and postgresql are generated automatically by the backend and should only be tuned under guidance from chef service specific configuration settings must be identical on all nodes in the backend ha cluster unless directed otherwise syntax this subcommand has the following syntax chef backend ctl gen sample backend config example output the following example shows the results of running the chef backend ctl gen sample backend config subcommand the settings and output will vary depending on the configuration the elasticsearch etcd leaderl and postgresql settings are generated
