After restoring Red Hat Edge Manager on Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform, validate the control plane and plan for device reconciliation. Restoring the database changes stored device state, so edge devices must reconnect and compare their live state to the restored specifications.

Operational follow-up

• Re-run any validation steps from the Testing backups section if you need a structured checklist. For more information about testing backups, see Additional resources.
• Document deviations, incidents, and command variants in your runbooks so the next restore follows the same path.
