Subject: [ovirt-users] Backup / Export Storage
Dear all,
We have a large amount of Vms in the backup/export storage, basically every
of the approx 50 machines in approx 20-30 generations, the listing (in VM
Import Tab of the storage) was always very slow, but now i get an error – am
small popup with a 502.
I can not even delete Vms to make the storage smaller again.
Regarding this i have a few questions
1. How do i reduce the amount of VMS so that i can access the VM Import
again ? Can i just delete on storage level ?
2. Is there anything i can do to speed up the listing
3. Does anyone have an idea how to export the exported (yes :-) ) VMS to
another storage in a way that they can be accessed and reimported if
necessary, as far as i know the machines are already ovf formats, i
would only need to get the name for each machine and write it somehwere
else, suggestions ?
Cheers
Soeren
Hi Soeren,
1. Please attach the vdsm logs so i can inspect if there's an abnormal cause to the
slowness and if improvement can be done.
2. In the meanwhile, I'd suggest you to increase the config value vdsTimeout to a
value larger then 180 which is the current max time for a vds operation rather than delete
it directly from the storage as it's error prone.
3. You can create a new export domain and then copy the ovf and disks to it, please check
that you copied all you needed and that the import works before deleting the source.
Thanks,
Liron.
