Import job doesn't run

No action was taken because the import artifacts already existed

Description: Import job doesn't run

K10 leverages an Object Storage bucket to perform Disaster Recovery of Kubernetes applications. Import job is a critical first step in the DR process, because it downloads metadata of the source cluster's restorepoint and stages the target cluster's K10 catalog appropriately. This is subsequently followed by a Restore job, which downloads the data and restores the application to a fully working state.

Error: No action was taken because the import artifacts already existed

K10 has smart logic built-in to perform intelligent actions. Assuming an Import job on the target cluster was successfully completed, unless there's a new restorepoint from the source cluster, the job won't run. This can happen either if i) there are no new restorepoints  or ii) the import job is scheduled to run more frequently than an export job (via policies).

No action was taken because the import artifacts already existed

Resolution

To overcome such a non-action, on the source cluster, initiate a manual export job or an export policy, so that a new restorepoint is created, for the target cluster to fetch.
