Hey all,
About a year ago I did a really, really stupid thing. I updated IPA on one CentOS 7 host, then before being really sure things were working, I did the replica. Turned out the first upgrade only 'mostly' worked[*], meaning both hosts are now partially wrecked :S
The good news is, DNS and PKI seems mostly in-tact and functional (why I haven't done anything for a year). The bad news is, the web interface and API-access (ipa cmdline) is non-functional. Meaning I have no way to maintain the setup, add new replicas/hosts, etc. :(
Both kerberos and ldapsearch are working, so I'm wondering if there's a way I can "save" my DNS and user/group/kerberos records, to make a re-build/re-install less painful? I don't have anything worth saving PKI-wise.
Thoughts?
[*] The damage was caused by running out of disk-space after the package install, while the upgrade or schema-update script was running. I'm not above trying to repair the API, but so far my attempts have all been fruitless. I tried 'yum reinstall' and manually running the upgrade scripts. The damage seems to be inside the databases, since restoring from backup also restores API-breakage.
We need more information on why your definition of wrecked is. What isn't working? What logs can you provide?
