Memory error on the storage array that cause postgres to become corrupted. 
Attempting to restore from backup before the DIMM was replaced was ill advised 
and now the whole HE is trash.

We're having a long talk with our vendor of the affected piece of kit.

Callum

Curious question: How did the hardware corrupt the HE?

Dear All,

So we've had some major disk corruption on our hosted engine (hardware to 
blame), and we have taken backups. However, the hosted-engine VM will no longer 
boot at all, database is thoroughly corrupted, and we need to rebuild the 
thing. Just a sanity check on the best route:

Preamble:
VMs are still running fine - only hosted engine affected
VMs are distributed across our entire 3 node cluster
All 3 nodes are registered as hosted engine candidates

1. Do another hosted-engine --deploy on one of the existing hosts, and then 
restore the backup into that
2. Build a new host, deploy the hosted-engine, then restore a backup on a fresh 
node

Regards,
Callum
