Presumably because grants need to be adjusted?
e.g. these alerts are failing on alert1001
[1597755894] SERVICE ALERT: alert1001;dump of s1 in codfw;CRITICAL;HARD;3;We could not connect to the backup metadata database [1597755894] SERVICE ALERT: alert1001;dump of s8 in codfw;CRITICAL;HARD;3;We could not connect to the backup metadata database [1597755894] SERVICE ALERT: alert1001;snapshot of s1 in eqiad;CRITICAL;HARD;3;We could not connect to the backup metadata database [1597755894] SERVICE ALERT: alert1001;snapshot of s8 in eqiad;CRITICAL;HARD;3;We could not connect to the backup metadata database
The new hosts in question are:
