Re: [Users] Reimporting storage domains after reinstalling ovirt

Hi Guys,
Currently I've got a Centos machine running the latest ovirt-release.
This machine is using a local raid set containing a directory with
ovirt-based VMs from my previous install. The ovirt install is a
completely fresh install, no storage/VMs have been created yet.
What's the best way to reimport those? I might try to create a new
storage domain and copy all old VMs into it (if that works anyway...) ,
or just reimport the old domain from the web-interface.
Does either trick have any advantage, or is there a best practice I
should adhere to?
Cheers,
Boudewijn

I just tried reimporting my old
storage domains but that doesn't seem to
work:
[root@server data]# pwd
/raid/ovirt-old/data
[root@server data]# ls
1979444d-b79a-494c-8c1a-bcc132e31a04 __DIRECT_IO_TEST__
This is the old data domain I used, and the
1979444d-b79a-494c-8c1a-bcc132e31a04 contains quite a lot of VMs.
When going to the webinterface and doing :
- Storage
- Import domain
- Type: NFS
- export path: $IP:/raid/ovirt-old/data (and
$IP:/raid/ovirt-old/data/1979444d-b79a-494c-8c1a-bcc132e31a04)
Of course I created an entry in /etc/exports in order to be able to
mount this domain by NFS:
[root@leiden data]# exportfs
/raid/ovirt 192.168.1.44/255.255.255.255
/raid/ovirt-old
192.168.1.44/255.255.255.255
And ownership is by user vdsm.
Despite of this it doesn't work. Unfortunately this page
(http://www.ovirt.org/Features/Import_an_existing_Storage_Domain) isn't
of much use either.
How should I do this?
Cheers,
