Re: [Users] All VMs disappeared

If I understand correctly, this is what happens to your

the AddVmFromTemplate command goes to fail and engine tries to

just to be sure, please note, that the task actually completed
successfully from my point of view. The new VM (direved from the
template clone task) is fully usable and on the webadmin the task is
shown as "completed".
So maybe at some point in time the engine does get the job status wrong
and the problem begins...
I need to look into this but I think it should be safe to remove
this
record while the engine is down. Make sure to make a backup if you
try!
OK, I did the following test:
- created a new VM from my custom template (with cloned Disk)
- waited for the job to complete
- manually deleted the related DB entry from the table "async_tasks"
- set host/node to maintenance
- rebootet engine
Result: The VM did NOT disappear! :-)
I think somehow ovirt-engine does get the results of the job wrong, thus
it does not recognize that the job completed *successfully* and does a
retry after reboot (which fails horribly and leads to disappearing VMs).
Thanks
