Hi,

We currently have a binary bosh [1] setup. However we would like to transition to bosh-init to prevent having to manage multiple bosh deployments.

I'm looking at how to regenerate the state file described in [2]. I can find my VM CID from "bosh vms bosh-meta --details" but can't get the other information from the director. Is there other places to retrieve the information? Or do I have to poke things below the cpi (vSphere in our case).

We're using the vsphere cpi for our deployment.

Thanks
Allan

disk id should be present on the IaaS layer, so I guess if you look into
Vsphere you should find it.
If I remember should be the form disk-some-uuid,
vcenter>yourvm>editsetting>yourdisk and should be in the first field
(/disk-some-uui.vmdk).

But I don't have any vcenter to check now ...

Unfortunately we do not show persistent disk IDs in any of the CLI commands
*yet*. You can either look at the vsphere settings for the VM for which
disk is attached or look at the /var/vcap/bosh/settings.json on the VM that
has the disk attached.

Thanks Gwenn, Dmitry

I'll try this out.
