Re: [ovirt-users] PLEASE HELP - oVirt 4.0.5 Instability + Best way to rollback to 4.0.4

Hello oVirt Padawan, You can install new engine machine and import existing storage domains there. https://www.ovirt.org/develop/release-management/features/storage/imports... Please read restrictions and limitations. I think it's more safe way to go in such kind of situations.

Rollback vm checkpoint to point in time before 4.0.5 update process and power up ovirt engine vm. Everything ok but, six virtual machines that i create before this point in time does not exist on oVirt Engine Database and all came with external-VMNAME and i can not do nothing on them. I really think (only in my dreams ) that when ovirt engine goes up and talk with ovirt nodes, all new vm will be automatically discovered again. The worst thing are that i use SAN Storage Domain and oVirt use LVM to storage VM disks, so i don´t know how to find vm disks that ovirt engine does not recognize (external-VMNAME). After all that, i rollback again to 4.0.5 and every vm are ok now again, but i want to test this rollback process to 4.0.4 and do this on Production. I think the right steps are : 1. Run engine-backup /bin/engine-backup --mode=backup --scope=all --file=/root/ovirt/`hostname`.`date +%d%m%Y.%H%M%S`.ovirt-engine.bkp --log=/tmp/ovirt-engine_backup.log 2. Shutdown ovirt engine vm. 3. Make new checkpoint to rollback with something goes wrong 4. Rollback to checkpoint witch 4.0.4 5. Restore engine-backup (from version 4.0.5) 6. Start everything and check if all are ok This is the right way to rollback from one sub release to another ( 4.0.5 to 4.0.4 ) ??? This checkpoints/snapshots of ovirt-engine VM are the best way to rollback in time ??? Thanks in advance. _______________________________________________ Users mailing list Users(a)ovirt.org http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users -- Pavel Zhukov Software Engineer RHEV Devops IRC: landgraf
