missing critical step for restore

[porrascarlos802018]

step to correctly update the etcd is not provided in this document

URL: https://kubernetes.io/docs/tasks/administer-cluster/configure-upgrade-etcd/

if you execute ETCDCTL_API=3 etcdctl snapshot restore /pathto/snapshot.db --data-dir /var/lib/etcd-from-backup --endpoints=https://127.0.0.1:2379 --cacert=/pathto/ca.crt --cert=/pathto/server.crt --key=/pathto/keyfile.key

the data restored and used by etcd needs to be redirected to the new path , what steps needs to be done and which commands to do it?

to restore

1. stop the kube-api server service : service kube-apiserver stop

2. ETCDCTL_API:3 etcdctl snapshot restore snapshot.db --data-dir /var/lib/etcd-from-backup #the path is the path of the backup file. in this case snapshot .db file. #a new data directory is created. in this case /var/lib/etcd-from-backup etcd is configured then to use the new path --data-dir=/var/lib/etcd-from-backup

*****MISSING update the /etc/kubernetes/manifests/etcd.yaml , change hostPath for the volume etcd-data from its old value to the new one ****

reload the service systemctl daemon-reload service etcd restart

start the api service kube-apiserver start

with kubeadm you always have to specify --endpoints --cacert --cert --key
