Hi Gianluca, we have read the massage from Jayme, but we have problem with the INTERNAL ansible playbook.

Wen we run an export, ovirt internally run the playbook /usr/share/ovirt-engine/playbooks/ovirt-ova-export.yml

but only export at time....

Hi Gianluca.

We have a problem wit "export as ova" too.

In our env we back up all the vm with a python script that run an export.

If we run multiple export at the same time, also on different datacenter[but same engine], the wait for each other and do not run in async mode.

If only one of those export takes 10h, all of them taskes 10+h too.

seems that all the export have to end a step of the playbook to go on, but we see only one "nasible-playbook" process at a time.

Have you got any hint?

Tommaso.








My post was one year old.
In the meantime you can check these two posts in archives by Jayme (I cc him):
https://lists.ovirt.org/archives/list/users@ovirt.org/thread/U65CV5A6WC6SCB2R5N66Y7HPXQ3ZQT2H/#FAVZG32TPSX67DTXIHMGIQXUXNG3W3OE
and
https://lists.ovirt.org/archives/list/users@ovirt.org/message/JNSY6GYNS6LPNUJXERUO2EOG5F3P7B2M/

In the first post it appears that by default the exports were of type fire and forget (that is what you need) and so he included a wait_for task to instead have them sequential.
I think you can borrow from his github playbooks and adapt to your needs.
Or Jayme, you could apply a general change where you set a variable (eg sequential_flow) that by default is true and then you modify the  export_vm.yml playbook in the task 

- name: "Wait for export"

with the wait condition becoming of kind

when: (export_result is not failed) or (sequential_flow|bool == False)

This way by default the play workflow remains unchanged, but a user can set sequential_flow to False
What do you think about it?
