Backup/restore and changing IP address on SCI.

unknown

HI.

Can't do we still a backup/restore and changing IP address on SCI?

Customers and partners hesitate to purchase a SCI because of those.

Do ruckus have a plan for above?

Hi Jeronimo

There is no mechanism to create and restore a backup of SCI data
            SCI uses multiple Data Nodes to expand capabilities and in this cluster mechanism all data is replicated twice across at 2 Data Nodes so data is already internally backed up in case of a single node failure.
           SCI expects data to expand to multiple terabytes so backing up data becomes untenable.
           The system used to cluster data is complicated (Hadoop/HDPS)

Changing SCI IP is also not possible as each piece of data actually includes SCI IP info, so the entire data base would require manual changing which would be an impossible task with any amount of data.

Sorry for the inconvenience this may have caused.

Thanks

Albert
