Seconding what Matt said.  You are also going to need to spend some time at the 
kilo code level to do the flavor migrations.  As that was a requirement from 
kilo -> liberty.  I also know that you needed to be on kilo.1 (or .2) to go to 
liberty to fix a bug in Numa Node pinning (iirc).

I would also look at the upgrade requirements for every version between 
icehouse and liberty and you are also going to need to perform those actions.

Subject: Re: [Openstack-operators] [nova] Recovering instances from old system

Personally, I'd just try to load the instance images like you said. If you try 
to load Icehouse records onto Liberty code its not going to work. Typically 
you'd do the upgrade one step at a time with database migrations done at every 
step.

Hey Abel,

When I say 'wiped everything clean" I mean that we made backups of the 
databases and configuration on all hosts before reinstalling Ubuntu 14.04 LTS 
on top to start with a clean slate, we did this because we decided to make the 
change to the LinuxBridge agent from the OpenVSwitch agent plus we where 
upgrading from Icehouse to Liberty, this along with a major restructure with 
how our network is laid out.

Really I'm just looking for some input on if I should attempt to extract the 
records of the instance backed up from the database and manually insert them or 
if I should take the instance dicks and load them in as images and spin them 
backup from there.

Hopefully I made a bit more sense this time, sorry.

I would expect that if you have the databases in place, and they went through 
the proper migrations, that your instances would still be there.
You can check the nova database instances table using the uuid.

How exactly did you 'wipe everything clean'?

Hey guys,

I just recently rebuilt the OpenStack infrastructure at my work to upgrade from 
Juno to Liberty, before wiping everything clean I made dumps of all the 
databases and the instances where persisted though the upgrade via NFS.

Now that I have the infrastructure up and going again I was wondering what 
would be the best way to import the instances back in, I understand I may need 
to change some fields in the database dumps to change project ids and such but 
I just wanted to get some input on if this is a good idea or if there is a 
better way to do this?

Kind regards,
