Let me get this straight:
You added a new host and instead of letting VDSM manage the VM storage you added it
manually, completely independent from oVirt, during an unattended installation of the host
OS=3F In a production environment=3F
Why=3F

=20
Hello all,
=20
Here is what can happen as a nightmare for a sysadmin:
=20
I installed a new host to my pool of pre existing ovirt hosts with a=20
kickstart file and a default partitionning. I used to do this with vms=20
that usually get one local disk.
But..
This time this host was attached to several existing ovirt (production)=20
lun and anaconda gathered all existing disk (local and lun) into the=20
same VG (lv_home) et formatted them with XFS....
In the webadmin, the domain storage became unvailaible, vms were still=20
up (thankgoodness), but it was impossible to interact with them. If I=20
stopped them, it was impossible to reboot them. If I launch lvs command,=20
some hosts can still see the ovirt LV, but other see only the lv_home=20
while /dev/[idofvms] are still present.
So it was my chance that vms were still present, and I began to export=20
them with a tar at file system level so as to import them in a new=20
domain storage.
=20
It seems that data are still present because the vms are still running.
So my question is really : instead of this difficult export step, is=20
there a way to recover the initial format of the ovirt lun so as to make=20
the lvm index come back on the disk=3F
=20
Any help or disaster experience would be much appreciated.
