PAW assets disappear when MongoDB becomes corrupt or frozen under OCP

[John Hammond]

MongoDB is a text optimised database where the PAW assets are stored as json. If it doesn't work you have no assets.

There are two distinct issues that we have encountered with MongoDB since we moved to OCP. (Openshift container platform)

1. Corrupted MongoDB – PAW objects are lost forever unless you can restore from a backup.
2. Frozen MongoDB – PAW objects return after Service (Pods) is restarted.

Corrupted MongoDB

Has occurred once. Now we Backup for all environments so maximum loss is a day’s work.

Frozen MongoDB

Has occurred more frequently. Restart of Pods cures this

PMR has been raised with IBM and logs at the point of failure are the evidence they are working with.

I wonder if others have encountered this or is everyone still on ICP where we had trouble free Pods?

OOO me Pods!
