Manual Server Backups
In addition to scheduled backups, you should backup your server prior to beginning troubleshooting or upgrading. For instructions see the Manual Server Backup section in Appendix H: Database Operations.
Restarting Patch Servers
If valid patch servers are disconnected, use the following commands to restore the connection. You can determine the connection state of a patch server on ICE Desktop in Settings > Patch Servers.
*Reconnect the default (cluster) Patch Server
Use kubectl to restart to the default (cluster) Patch Server:
kubectl -n ice-rallypoint delete pod -l app=patch
*Reconnect the external (docker host) Patch Server
On the docker host, use docker to restart the patch-agent and the patch:
docker restart patch-agent
docker restart patch
