Re: [Users] oVirt 3.3 -- Failed to run VM: internal error unexpected address type for ide disk

Hi Markus, Thanks for your email. I followed your instructions (detach/attach virtio disks, also tried detach/remove/add/attach virtio disks as well) however the VMs still fail to start with the same error. Note that the issue persists after upgrading to oVirt 3.3.0-3 while keeping VDSM/libvirt the same. I'm not too familiar with the whole VM creation/destruction process - where would the root cause of the problem likely be? Is it ovirt-engine breaking the VM definition file when it records the VM as being shut down, or libvirt/VDSM sending bad information back to the engine during the destruction process, or something else?

In this case a simple detach/attach process solved the problem permanently. To check we have no regressions I patched to 3.3.0-2 in my NFS based setup with Virtio-SCSI disks to test your findings. Luckly the "loose your disks after every reboot" does not occur. Markus
