Hi Maor,
I already added logs in my previous email, did you received them?
I'm sending them again, but only privately to you not to burden the mailing
list (or let me know if you prefer otherwise).
Cheers
AG

Hi Andrea,
The OVF_STORE disks are disks which mainly being used internally in the
engine to store VMs' and Templates' OVFs, you can disregard them for now.
The behavior you mentioned, that suddenly the disk has disappeared from the
setup, sounds very weird and I would like to investigate this a bit more.
if you can please add the engine and vdsm logs, I can know what made the
disk get removed from the setup, at the first place.
Could it be that some one accessed the data base by any chance?
Regarding the disk registration, basically it should not create any problems
unless, if your disk was deleted manually form the DB, and there are still
leftovers related to the disk in some of the tables.
Once the disk is registered to the setup, you can try to attach it to the
VM, and try to run it.
Regards,
Maor

Thank you for your reply!
I'm unsure if the disk contained any snapshots. I do not think so.
Is the register action a safe one to do in production system? I
wouldn't mess any of my existing running servers.
Here the relevant logs from the date
./engine.log-20150501.gz:2015-04-29 16:10:40,868 : disk creation
("hertz_disk5" newImageId = 4ab070c0-fb16-452d-8521-4ff0b004aef3)
./engine.log-20150512.gz:2015-05-04 17:22:42,691 : last occurrence
of the imageid
Please note from
./engine.log-20150512.gz 2015-05-11 12:07:16,719 : creation of two
disk OVF store (??) on the same storage domain
7a48fe46-2112-40a4-814f-24d74c760b2d
right after the volume expansion
In the instructions.txt what I did to enlarge the volume (and lose
the
disk) (the guides is informational only, I followed the steps on a
different
server)
Here some cats to thank you in advance

lol :)
Nice cats

Hi Andrea,
First of all, the issue sounds quite severe, can u please attach the
engine logs so we can try to figure out how that happened.
second, does this disk contained any snapshots?
If not, can you try to register it back (see
http://www.ovirt.org/Features/ImportStorageDomain#Register_an_unregist
ered_disk)
Regards,
Maor
