Hi,

The physical restore finishes with error  state if SmartUpdate  strategy is set for cluster. There is panic  in operator log after Deleting statefulset  during restore. Sometimes cluster eventually starts and gets ready state, sometimes cluster hangs in initializing state with sts num of containers 1.

STR:

1. Add backup.storage to default cr.

2. Make physical backup:

3. Restore from this backup:

Expected result: Restore finishes with ready state

Actual result: restore gets error state. Operator panics. psmdb sometimes recovers and gets ready state and all the pods are up and running, sometimes stays in initializing with 1 container in pods.

Example of psmdb in initializing:
