How can I recover data from a volume built from a now deprecated AMI?

0

Recently, our instance got deleted and we had to spin up a new one. When trying to attach the old volume to the new instance, an error popped -- "In order to use this AWS Marketplace product you need to accept terms and subscribe. To do so please visit https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/pp?sku=93imua6zp7ju6148j4nkd6rxf". Were asked to subscribe and accept the terms from the AMI provider which is CPanel. When going to the product link provided, the page is now showing "This version has been removed and is no longer available to new customers." The "Continue to Subscribe" button isn't there anymore and we're unable to accept the terms.

Now, we're currently unable to mount the volume as well as create a new AMI so we can move our data to an updated installation.

We have tried all theories we have on deck but to no avail and we're stumped.

Any help or insights are greatly appreciated.

  • Were you able to figure this out? I, too, have this issue because I detached my volume to reattach a new security key pair only to find out I cannot use the volume anymore because the AMI is no longer available.

Hi,

You may want to start a regular and plain AMI and attach your obsolete AMI volume via EBS to access it then as a regular disk and fetch the data that you need from it. It may give you access to your old dsisk

Of course, to do that, it means that you don't need the s/w provided by this vendor: just copy verbs from the OS.

Best,

Didier

  • Thank you for the answer. We tried attaching the volume via EBS, however, we're getting the error "In order to use this AWS Marketplace product you need to accept terms and subscribe. To do so please visit https://aws.amazon.com/marketplace/pp?sku=93imua6zp7ju6148j4nkd6rxf" -- when we went to that link, we can't subscribe anymore.

  • We found out that there's no way of getting back our data since the subscription is required to attach the volume and Cpanel support requires a code that's found in WHM inside the volume. This volume is basically a digital brick now.
