See the table below for how to restore the state of an Entrust PKI Hub installation depending on the number of nodes (N).

  • When N=1, skip the steps marked (error).
  • When N> 1, perform each step in the nodes indicated.

As explained in Running clusterctl install, only installations in multi-node mode support state restoration, although such installations can indeed use a single node.
