Is there anyway to skip bosh director recreation whenever we do an Apply Change from Opsmanager ?

[Joint Cloudfoundry]

Anytime we do an Apply change from Opsmanager , we see a Bosh director recreation (cannot untick it from the "Review Pending changes" page ) . It's taking a lot of time + somehow risky if anything wrong happens during this recreation .

Could be useful to desactivate this recreation if wanted .

There are a couple of different questions. Let me break these up and answer individually.

 

1) Can I skip performing an apply change on the bosh director when performing an apply change on any other tiles?

• Simple answer: No
• Complicated answer: The bosh director needs to be verified that A) it is functioning and B) it is the most up to date with all ops manager components prior to performing a "bosh deploy" (what is performed during an apply change) on any other deployment.

2) My bosh director is recreating during every apply change, how do I fix this?

• Bosh director should only recreate in a few scenario's:
  • Config update
  • Stemcell update
  • bosh tile -> director config -> recreate bosh director has been checked and a bosh deploy has not completed (box should automatically uncheck post successful apply change)
• As an advice if you are worried the apply change on another tile might be problematic and wish to remove complications, perform an apply change on just the bosh tile first. After it's success then apply change to the tile, it should quickly process past the bosh director.

 

Please do let us know if you have any additional questions or concerns.
