Not able to run grdapi commands due to "A restore from backup running in the background is in progress"

Troubleshooting


Problem

-When trying to run grdapi commands from the Guardium CLI after restoring a Central Manager get message "A restore from backup running in the background is in progress.  Please wait until it is completed before running the grdapi command.  To check progress, run command "background show status all"."
-When run CLI command "background show status all" output is "Restore: running".
-Output of CLI command "support show db-processlist running" shows no running processes.

Cause

-Problem was due to a restore_in_progress file remaining in the /var/IBM/Guardium/backgrounders/restore/ directory after the restore was completed.  
-If you have these same problem symptoms please open a case with Guardium support and we can verify if the restore_in_progress file exists in this directory and if it does we can remove it so that grdapi commands can be run.
