Sorry @bradh352 I previously approved but after reviewing the original issue the PR was fixing (#11202) the flag force-recreate was introduced to prevent data loss. So I think a better solution for this use case should be also passing the force-recreate flag along with the schema-only flag instead of this fix. What do you think? cc @DaanHoogland @harikrishna-patnala @weizhouapache

I agree with you @nvazquez

It has been mentioned in the cloudstack documentation

https://docs.cloudstack.apache.org/en/4.21.0.0/installguide/management-server/_database.html#install-the-database-on-the-management-server-node

@bradh352
I think this is not an issue.
You can update the ansible playbook by adding a flag --force-recreate as @nvazquez suggested

[bradh352]

Ok, thanks. I think the "recreate" part threw me off then since its a fresh install.
