[ovirt-users] Re: Replicated storage gets erased when added to new environment.

Ok I hear what your saying and thank you for your input! By the way this is a test environment I am working with so I can learn, so there is no risk for dual brainy-ness. Also I figured out where I was going wrong earlier on site B, I was clicking "New Domain" instead of "Import Domain" So I was able to import the replicated iSCSI domain, however now when I try to attach the storage domain, I get the following in the even log. "VDSM jake-ovirt2 command CleanStorageDomainMetaDataVDS failed: Cannot acquire host id: ('80dcf277-9958-4368-b7dd-2a5d5d29b3ec', SanlockException(5, 'Sanlock lockspace add failure', 'Input/output error'))" It is my opinion that my problem now is that since the data domain was not properly detached before replication, that my replicated storage will not attach because of some "lock" on the storage domain?Is that what this error means or am I missing the mark completely?
