Hi Guys,

I'm working through a disaster recovery of a failed cluster.  And I found the documentation for attaching the old storage domain as an import domain to a new Cluster.  Both clusters are 4.2.

https://ovirt.org/develop/release-management/features/storage/importstoragedomain/

The documentation is referencing 3.5 and I would like to know if its still applies to the 4.2 release.

When I try to do the import I see warnings below:



I know that its really hard to say this operation may not be destructive.  But is the general work flow outlined in the 3.5 documentation still valid?


Hello John,

this is an expected message if your source cluster has been shut in a bad manner. You can import with no problems and then import all VMS.

If you want to automate this task, i suggest you to take a look to https://github.com/oVirt/ovirt-ansible-disaster-recovery
