The log show a working vm, so it does not help much. I think that the template you copied from the nfs domain to the block domain is corrupted, or the volume metadata are incorrect. If I understand this correctly, this started when Fernando could not copy the vm disk to the block storage, and I guess the issue was that the template was missing on that storage domain. I assume that he copied the template to the block storage domain by opening the templates tab, selecting the template, and choosing copy from the menu. Lets compare the template on both nfs and block storage domain. 1. Find the template on the nfs storage domain, using the image uuid in engine. It should be at /rhev/data-center/mnt/server:_path/domain-uuid/images/image-uuid/volume-uuid 2. Please share the output of: cat /path/to/volume.meta qemu-img info /path/to/volume qemu-img check /path/to/volume 4. Find the template on the block storage domain You should have an lv using the same volume uuid and the image-uuid should be in the lv tag. Find it using: lvs -o vg_name,lv_name,tags | grep volume-uuid 5. Activate the lv lvchange -ay vg_name/lv_name 6. Share the output of qemu-img info /dev/vg_name/lv_name qemu-img check /dev/vg_name/lv_name 7. Deactivate the lv lvchange -an vg_name/lv_name 8. Find the lv metadata The metadata is stored in /dev/vg_name/metadata. To find the correct block, find the tag named MD_N in the lv tags you found in step 4 The block we need is located at offset N from start of volume. 9. Share the output of: dd if=/dev/vg_name/metadata bs=512 skip=N count=1 iflag=direct The output of this command should show the image-uuid.
