Hi,
We have an oVirt environment with a FC storage domain. Multiple LUNs on
a SAN are exported to the oVirt nodes and combined in a single FC
storage domain.
The SAN replicates the disks to another storage box that has iSCSI
connectivity.
Is it possible to - in case of disaster - import the existing,
replicated, storage domain as an iSCSI domain and import/run the VM's
from that domain? Or is import of a storage domain only possible if they
are the same type? Does it also work if multiple LUNs are needed to form
the storage domain?
If you detach the original (broken) FC storage domain you will be able
to connect to the iSCSI server, and import the same domains from backup.
You can try to create a test storage domain on one LUN, create a VM on
this domain and wait until this storage domain is replicated to the other
storage.
Then detach the domain, and try to connect and attach the replicated domain
and import the vm from this domain.
Are there any special actions that should be performed beyond the
regular import action?
No
