Hi,
we can't import some OVA VMs into oVirt, that was previously exported in oVirt. Further investigations and testing showed, that in some vm.ovf files the last closing tag is missing ( </ovf:Envelope instead of </ovf:Envelope> ).
Intense testing showed the following occurrence: on test DC (4.4.10.7-1): - about half of the VMs have that problem (about 9 VMs) - VMs where the export is working properly are ok, no matter how often i do export - VMs who's vm.ovf is wrong stay that way, no matter how often i do export
on production DC (4.4.10.7-1): - all VMs have that problem (49 VMs) - an imported "good" VM formerly exported on test DC, now have a wrong vm.ovf too after re-exporting on production DC - vm.ovf of all VMs stay incorrect, no matter how often i do export
on develop DC (4.5.4-1): - the only VM have that problem (1 VM) - vm.ovf of VMs stay incorrect, no matter how often i do export
Environment: all DC have independent hardware and are built exactly the same way with the same components oVirt is with hosted-engine
test and production: oVirt: 4.4.10.7-1 engine OS: Cent OS Stream 8 host OS: RHEL 8.7
develop: oVirt: 4.5.4-1 engine OS: Cent OS Stream 8 (latest updates till September 1st) host OS: RHEL 8.8 (latest updates till September 1st)
Is that a known problem?
Nope
Is there a way to fix this?
We use the same components that we use for OVAs also for writing OVFs of snapshots and for writing domain XMLs so I doubt the problem is on the ovirt-engine side (as we would have seen more severe issues) We store the OVF in the OVA with a Python script that runs on the host so I'd suggest to look for a message that starts with "writing ovf:" in its log [1] to see whether the script was provided with the complete XML from ovirt-engine If the complete XML was provided, you can change the pack_ova.py script on the ovirt-engine side to debug why it's not stored properly in the tar (OVA) file [1] https://github.com/oVirt/ovirt-engine/blob/c4fe7d6fb652c83c638d446bb861cfeac...
