What if I remove the "old ip" storage domains and import the same iscsi luns with the new IP, would that work?

Kind Regards

Can I change the storagedomain ip from the ovirt-shell?
Thanks in advance

    you would need to 'edit the connection'. since 3.3.1 this is
    possible via the rest api without hacking the db:

                 Actually, the best way to do it would be to create another
                 storage domain and migrate all the VMs's disks to it
        (you can do
                 it while the VMs are running), then you won't suffer
        from a down
                 time.


             notice this will create a snapshot for your vms and may
        change them
             from raw to qcow. also, this not supported for shared disks.

                 If you don't have the option to do so, the best way to
        do it
                 would be to shut down the VMs, put the storage domain to
                 'Maintenance' and then perform the storage server network
                 change. When the connection to the storage is fixed,
        activate
                 the domain and resume the VMs manually.


             that's assuming the domain was added using dns and not ip
        address,
             and that the dns expiration/caching on all hosts will
        notice the new
             ip address.

                 For the moment, nothing is going on. The change is
        planned on
                 Thursday. So,
                 correct me if I'm wrong, you say that the fastest and
        easiest
                 way is to
                 suspend all the machines, make the change of the
        storage server,
                 rediscover
                 the iscsi server and then bring the vm's back up?

                     Hi,

                     I suppose that those VMs are now in 'Paused' state,
        correct
                     me if I'm
                     wrong.
                     After connectivity with storage comes back, all VMs
        which
                     couldn't detect
                     their disks should be resumed from 'Paused' to 'Up'
        state
                     automatically. It
                     shouldn't take them a long time to change their
        state (a few
                     minutes).

                     Dear All,

                     At work, the network guys have come to a discovery
        that they
                     have made a
                     mistake in their network configuration... The
        Storage server
                     that we use as
                     ISCSI target in oVirt, is in the wrong VLAN, so the
        wrong IP
                     address...

                     What is the best way to make sure that all of our
        vms (40)
                     that are using
                     this scsi storage will come up again after the storage
                     server has changed
                     his ip?
                     What are the best steps to be taken...?
                     We are using oVirt Engine Version: 3.3.1-2.el6

                     Kind Regards,

                     Koen
