## Scenario - Enterprise Backup Stuck

In the scenario where an enterprise backup is stuck, a restart of the management pod may resolve the issue. Use the
following steps to restart the management pod.

### Debug Steps

1. Open up a terminal session in an environment that has network access to the Kubernetes cluster. Refer to the
[Access Cluster with CLI](../clusters/cluster-management/palette-webctl.md) for additional guidance.

2. Identify the `mgmt` pod in the `hubble-system` namespace. Use the following command to list all pods in the
`hubble-system` namespace and filter for the `mgmt` pod.

```shell
kubectl get pods --namespace hubble-system | grep mgmt
```

```shell hideClipboard
mgmt-f7f97f4fd-lds69 1/1 Running 0 45m
```

3. Restart the `mgmt` pod by deleting it. Use the following command to delete the `mgmt` pod. Replace `<mgmt-pod-name>`
with the actual name of the `mgmt` pod that you identified in step 2.

```shell
kubectl delete pod <mgmt-pod-name> --namespace hubble-system
```

```shell hideClipboard
pod "mgmt-f7f97f4fd-lds69" deleted
```

## Mongo DNS Configmap Value is Incorrect

In VMware vSphere VerteX installations, if you encounter an error during the upgrade process where the MongoDB DNS
ConfigMap value is incorrect, use the following steps to resolve the issue.

### Debug Steps

1. Open up a terminal session in an environment that has network access to the Kubernetes cluster. Refer to the
[Access Cluster with CLI](../clusters/cluster-management/palette-webctl.md) for additional guidance.

2. Verify that the pods in the `hubble-system` namespace are not starting correctly by issuing the following command.

```shell
kubectl get pods --namespace=hubble-system
```

3. Verify that the configmap for the _configserver_ in the _hubble-system_ namespace contains the incorrect host value
`mongo-1.mongohubble-system.svc.cluster`. Use the following command to describe the configmap and search for the host
value.

```shell
kubectl describe configmap configserver --namespace hubble-system | grep host
```

```shell hideClipboard
host: mongo-0.mongo.hubble-system.svc.cluster.local,mongo-1.mongohubble-system.svc.cluster.local,mongo-2.mongo.hubble-system.svc.cluster.local
host: '0.0.0.0'
host: '0.0.0.0'
host: '0.0.0.0'
host: '0.0.0.0'
host: '0.0.0.0'
host: '0.0.0.0'
host: '0.0.0.0'
host: '0.0.0.0'
host: '0.0.0.0'
host: '0.0.0.0'
host: '0.0.0.0'
host: '0.0.0.0'
```

4. If the host value is incorrect, log in to the System Console. You can find guidance on how to access the System
Console in the
[Access the System Console](../vertex/system-management/system-management.md#access-the-system-console)
documentation.

5. Navigate to the **Main Menu** and select **Enterprise Cluster**. From the **System Profiles** page, select the
**Spectro** pack.

![A view of the Spectro pack in the System Profiles page](/troubleshooting_enterprise_install_system-profile-pack.webp)

6. In the YAML editor, locate the parameter `databaseUrl` and update the value
`mongo-1.mongohubble-system.svc.cluster.local` to `mongo-1.mongo.hubble-system.svc.cluster.local`.

Below is what the updated `databaseUrl` value should look like.

```yaml
databaseUrl: "mongo-0.mongo.hubble-system.svc.cluster.local,mongo-1.mongo.hubble-system.svc.cluster.local,mongo-2.mongo.hubble-system.svc.cluster.local"
```

7. Click **Save** to apply the changes.

8. Verify the system pods are starting correctly by issuing the following command.

```shell
kubectl get pods --namespace=hubble-system
```

## Upgrade VerteX 4.3.x to 4.4.x

<!-- prettier-ignore -->
Prior to upgrading VMware vSphere VerteX installations from version 4.3.x to 4.4.x, complete the
steps outlined in the
[Mongo DNS ConfigMap Issue](../../troubleshooting/palette-upgrade.md#mongo-dns-configmap-value-is-incorrect) guide.
Addressing this Mongo DNS issue will prevent system pods from experiencing _CrashLoopBackOff_ errors after the upgrade.

After the upgrade, if Enterprise Cluster backups are stuck, refer to the
[Enterprise Backup Stuck](../../troubleshooting/enterprise-install.md#scenario---enterprise-backup-stuck)
troubleshooting guide for resolution steps.
