Hi Coffee, The OVF_STORE disk sync the VMs and Templates data in an un-synchronous way every 60 minutes (see [1]) this might be the reason that sometime you see the entities candidate for import and sometime you don't. There are patches which sync the VMs/Templates data once the Storage Domain is being moved to maintenance the bug is https://bugzilla.redhat.com/1138124 the patch for fixing it is at http://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/c/33158/ The REST examples can be found here: http://www.ovirt.org/Features/ImportStorageDomain#REST To see the candidates for import you should use the following URL: http://localhost:8080/api/storagedomains/68ca2f73-9b15-4839-83c9-859244ad2cd... You should see also the links for unregistered Vms and Templates, I will take a look at it now and let you know if this was fixed already. [1] At http://www.ovirt.org/Features/ImportStorageDomain#Restrictions: "For better sync of the entities in the Storage Domain with the OVF_STORE disk, it is better to update the OvfUpdateIntervalInMinutes option in vdc_options from 60 minutes to 2-5 minutes, as so : update vdc_options set option_value = 2 where option_name = 'OvfUpdateIntervalInMinutes'; (see [5])" Regards, Maor ----- Original Message -----

Hi, all I am testing the feature of ImprotStorageDomain recently, but meet some problems.
http://www.ovirt.org/Features/ImportStorageDomain http://www.ovirt.org/Features/ImportUnregisteredEntities
I have two setups: DC-A, DC-B, NFS storage: test-import
My steps are: 1. In DC-A, create some VMs and create their disks on test-import 2. maintenance the storage test-import, detach the storage from DC-A 3. login to DC-B, click "import domain", chose Data/NFS and enter the path of test-import, click "ok" 4. Active storage test-import
Expect result: 1. there are two new subtags in test-import: "vm import" and "template import" 2. the VMs which were create on test-import are listing in the subtag "vm import" 3. I can chose VM and import it to DC-B
However, it worked randomly: sometimes i can see subtags with VMs in DC-B, but sometimes i can not see any VM, and sometimes i can't even see the subtags.
I tried to access RestAPI, but it return me these links: <link href="/api/storagedomains/c7492e17-4418-4a55-ad06-c39cea8c44cf/permissions" rel="permissions"/> <link href="/api/storagedomains/c7492e17-4418-4a55-ad06-c39cea8c44cf/disks" rel="disks"/> <link href="/api/storagedomains/c7492e17-4418-4a55-ad06-c39cea8c44cf/storageconnections" rel="storageconnections"/> <link href="/api/storagedomains/c7492e17-4418-4a55-ad06-c39cea8c44cf/disksnapshots" rel="disksnapshots"/> <link href="/api/storagedomains/c7492e17-4418-4a55-ad06-c39cea8c44cf/diskprofiles" rel="diskprofiles"/> without /vms and /templates tags
is this feature available now? or did i miss anything?
Thank you in advance:-)
