Database upgrade fails after home assistant core update

Configuration
1

Hi. just upgraded to 2024.9.0 and first got a message:

“Database upgrade in progress”

Then after a minute or so two other messages came in:

“Database Migration Failed”
“Recorder could not start”

What should a database noob like me do now? Revert to the version before the update to 2024.9.0 by restoring a backup? Anything else?

Is this a known bug already or on my end? Never had this issue before.

I am running MariaDB and InfluxDB. Most automations seem to work, but stuff like logbook, history, and the energy dashboard does not. Grafana seems to receive proper data from sensors through InfluxDB. I assume this is related to MariaDB.

I restarted both MariaDB and InfluxDB integrations.
Restarting Home Assistant triggers the data base migration, which always fails.

Logs and screenshots below.
Thanks for any ideas how to solve this.

Why did you choose to use to use MariaDB in the first place, then?
Bold :wink:

This seems to be the root cause.
Have a look on how to repair that error, or restore a DB backup.

Any idea how to take it from here? There is a suggestion to use https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/8.0/en/innodb-parameters.html#sysvar_innodb_force_recovery – but I have no idea how to get it to work in terminal

Maybe try How to Re-index MySQL database after restored | by Ashik CK | Medium

I have also got this error and are wondering how to fix it. I used Maria DB after watching EverythingSmartHome on YouTube and he advised to use DB when using SSD storage for performance

6

The issue in my case was the migration filling up the all the space in the VM with MariaDB. Increasing the size of the VM and restarting HA fixed the issue.

Hi Max,

Maybe

Is go to the default database instead of mariaDB.

My suggestion is remove the MariaDB statement in your recorder integration and the database will rebuild. History will be at start-over. You could also ‘fix’ the broken tables (but that is something I couldn’t do) and migrate your data over, Migrate back from MariaDB to the default SQLite.

I personally delete my data every year.

8

Thanks. Will InfluxDB get affected from this? I want to keep all the data that is in there and continue to use it to record sensors and state changes.

Lastly, why would you recommend to return to the default DB? Isn`t MariaDB much better performing? (at least I remember it was like that 3 years ago, or so, when I switched)

9

Should not effect influx at all. That has a separate data feed AFAIK.

HA has been tweaked to do especially well with the default Sqllite. It is also the default is is most thoroughly tested and vetted for all functions.

10

Thanks. Meanwhile I have reverted back to a full backup with core 2024.8.3 and do not get these messages again. Removing MariaDB did not cause any issues and InfluxDB indeed runs in parallel. I wasnt sure anymore if the data first goes into MariaDB and from there into InfluxDB. But InfluxDB gets the data directly with no other DB in between. So no concern for the long-term storage of data. I am updating now again to 2024.9.0. Cross fingers.

btw.

I personally delete my data every year.

does this mean you setup a keep period of a year for the default recorder DB? Isn`t that very long? Or are you referring to InfluxDB?

11

Upgrade to 2024.9.0 and no error messages. thanks! I didn`t expect that getting rid of MariaDB would be a potential solution at all.

No. I delete the database…My graphs all pop up as new. 0 history. I never look at it, so I don’t need it.

13

This can solve the issue: https://github.com/home-assistant/core/issues/125339

14

I also have a similar issue. Will try the fix above and will report back.

Tried the recommended fix of increasing the innodb_buffer_size. Still failed.

I had the same issue but ran the first three steps from the following link and the DB Upgrade completed!!

  • Log into a terminal and access MariaDB by the command mysql
  • SET GLOBAL innodb_buffer_pool_size=2147483648;
    to set the innodb_buffer_pool_size to 2GByte.
  • show global variables like 'innodb_buffer%';
    to see if the command above worked (last row).

MariaDB database migration failed. Schema 46->47 · Issue #125339 · home-assistant/core · GitHub.
