I have orphaned disks on my fiber channel that I need to remove, so
I was trying to find a way to definitively identify the disk LVM ids so
that I can remove the LVMs from the fiber channel manually. Since oVirt
does not account for them for me.
Basically it all started when I wanted to import/move some vms before a
migration. I exported some VMs to an iscsi storage, then I migrated my
fiber channel to a new oVirt environment that I connected that iscsi
storage to as well. This created a problem as I now had a duplicate disk
on the Fibre channel and the iscsi, so I could not simply move the disk
back. Anyway I am in a situation now where I have some disks I want to
remove, however there is no longer a VM tied to them. But before I
remove the iscsi version of the VM I do have a chance to recover the lvm
ID.
That is what I am trying to do, reliably get a VMs complete list of LVM ids.

What if you cannot run the VM, so its not running on any specific

Thank you.

oVirt doesn't store the domain xml internally.
The domain xml is generated only when trying to start the vm (that's
the output you've seen in engine.log).
I'm afraid there is no other trigger to force generating that xml at
the moment.
But the generation of the xml is mostly 1:1 mapping of some
configuration that is stored differently in oVirt and can be found via
the ui/rest-api. What do you look for exactly?
