• Rancher Kubernetes Engine v0.1.7 or later

    The commands for taking etcd snapshots are only available in RKE v0.1.7 and later.

  • rancher-cluster.yml

    You'll need the RKE config file that you used for Rancher install, rancher-cluster.yml. You created this file during your initial install. Place this file in same directory as the RKE binary.

  • You must restore each of your etcd nodes to the same snapshot. Copy the snapshot you're using from one of your nodes to the others before running the etcd snapshot-restore command.
