Hey Eyal,
it's really irritating that only ISOs can be imported as disks.
I had to:
1. Delete snapshot (but I really wanted to keep it)
2. Detach all disks from existing VM
3. Delete the VM
4. Import the Vm from the data domain
5. Delete the snapshot , so disks from data domain are "in sync" with the
non-data disks
6. Attach the non-data disks to the VM
If all disks for a VM were on the same storage domain - I didn't have to wipe my
snapshots.
Should I file a RFE in order to allow disk import for non-ISO disks ?
If I wanted to rebuild the engine and import the sotrage domains I would have to import
the VM the first time , just to delete it and import it again - so I can get my VM disks
from the storage...
Best Regards,
Strahil Nikolov

Hi Stranhil,
Maybe those VMs has more disks on different data storage domains?
If so, those VMs will remain on the environment with the disks that are not based on the
detached storage-domain.
You can try to import the VM as partial, another option is to remove the VM that remained
in the environment but
keep the disks so you will be able to import the VM and attach the disks to it.

Hello All,
I would like to ask how to proceed further.
Here is what I have done so far on my ovirt 4.3.10:
1. Set in maintenance and detached my Gluster-based storage domain
2. Did some maintenance on the gluster
3. Reattached and activated my Gluster-based storage domain
4. I have imported my ISOs via the Disk Import tab in UI
Next I tried to import the VM Disks , but they are unavailable in the disk tab
So I tried to import the VM:
1. First try - import with partial -> failed due to MAC conflict
2. Second try - import with partial , allow MAC reassignment -> failed as VM id exists
-> recommends to remove the original VM
3. I tried to detach the VMs disks , so I can delete it - but this is not possible as the
Vm already got a snapshot.
What is the proper way to import my non-OS disks (data domain is slower but has more
space which is more suitable for "data") ?
Best Regards,
Strahil Nikolov
