Hi, I stumbled upon safelease package, introduced in oVirt 3.6. I realigned the spec file with Fedora Rawhide: https://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/c/99123/ and then I stopped working on it and decided to open a thread here. safelease package is required in vdsm. I searched for the home page for this package since it moved and found: https://ovirt.org/develop/developer-guide/vdsm/safelease.html This says that sanlock is meant to obsolete safelease. I'm assuming that safelease was used in 3.6 and replaced later by sanlock then kept for backward compatibility. In 4.3 we dropped support for 3.6 level clusters, is this package still needed?

Would it be possible? If an ovirt-4.3 storage pool has an ISO domain, and we add an ovirt-4.4 host to it, we would like it to be able to become SPM.

So, according to the thread we have a few action items: - Decide if we'll drop export domain and iso domain in 4.4

If we do so, we still need a way to clean these old domains up, aka moving the ISOs to a Data Domain or "migrating" an existing ISO domain into a data Domain. Export Domain is probably easier, as the OVAs can simply be copied to a central location. Maybe having an export domain available as a second way to upload VMs (e.g. for bulk-imports) still makes sense. Esp. as I believe v2v is relying on export domains today. So while I am in favor of getting rid of unneeded code, we need to think about the benefits they both have and how to get them implemented in case we agree on removing the old domains. So what are the benefits of the ISO domain: - Easy to add new ISOs (just copy them to the NFS location - simple way of sharing between DCs/RHV-Ms - Having a central place for the ISOs The 3rd item can be achieved by admins simply using one Storage Domain just for ISOs. The 2nd would probably require some sort of read-only SDs or a way to have one SD shared between DCs with just one DC having write-access. The 1st one is probably hardest, as there is no easy way of adding data to the Storage Domain without tooling. Maybe there are also other ways of achieving this, the above are just my ideas. Next - what are the benefits of Export Domain: - Unattended Import - Bulk Im- and Export - Central location - Easily sharable between DCs/RHV-Ms The 4th one is already achieved as we have a common Import/Export tool, so the OVAs can be easily shared and used by different DCs/RHV-Ms The 3rd one is something that could be easily achieved administrately. The 2nd one is already more complicated, but can probably be solved with Ansible (as the 1st one probably as well). So from my PoV it is easiest to remove the Export Domain while still having all needed features available. The ISO domain seems a bit harder to me. Please think about how to solve this, before we decide on removing both of them.

So feel free to drop anything we used in <4.2, but think twice and (run that through virt team at least) before you remove anything used in 4.2+ Ok, so: do we need to take safelease with us in 4.4? If the answer is yes, I need to request to find a maintainer for it since we'll need to package it for RHEL 8 / CentOS 8. This is currently blocking pre-integration testing with RHEL 8 Beta so it needs to be addressed quickly in order to be able to proceed.

In IMS project we rely on guest tools ISO in ISO domain and we already have a request to support ISOs from data domains. But last time I've heard using vdsm-client to call Image.prepare and Image.tearDown is not strictly "supported" API.
