Hi Gianluca, I've built 3.2 and had success in reproducing your issue, I've also tested the fix and after it the clone window shows fine - so this should solve your issue (http://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/c/11254/).
Thanks, Liron.
Hello, so I rebuilt with the patch. I built as in this thread: http://lists.ovirt.org/pipermail/users/2013-February/012702.html
directly on engine server and with engine stopped:
sudo rpm -Uvh --force $(ls -1|grep -v all)
with $ ls -1|grep -v all ovirt-engine-3.2.0-4.fc18.noarch.rpm ovirt-engine-backend-3.2.0-4.fc18.noarch.rpm ovirt-engine-config-3.2.0-4.fc18.noarch.rpm ovirt-engine-dbscripts-3.2.0-4.fc18.noarch.rpm ovirt-engine-genericapi-3.2.0-4.fc18.noarch.rpm ovirt-engine-notification-service-3.2.0-4.fc18.noarch.rpm ovirt-engine-restapi-3.2.0-4.fc18.noarch.rpm ovirt-engine-setup-3.2.0-4.fc18.noarch.rpm ovirt-engine-tools-common-3.2.0-4.fc18.noarch.rpm ovirt-engine-userportal-3.2.0-4.fc18.noarch.rpm ovirt-engine-webadmin-portal-3.2.0-4.fc18.noarch.rpm
and then reboot the engine
Results:
OK, for the snapshot details pane. It seem the patch fixes this too. Until now I was never able to see snapshot details, Instead now I can see disk and nic details. See: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0BwoPbcrMv8mvQmlCZTZBYjBadmc/edit?usp=sharing
OK, if I clone a VM from a snapshot of a running VM (CentOS 5.6) I start the clone and no problem at all.
well done!
Corner cases and problems
1) OK, if I clone a powered on VM from a snapshot with two disks and here you can find clone in action with webadmin gui and iotop on node that shows they are cloning in parallel.. well! https://docs.google.com/file/d/0BwoPbcrMv8mvZ3lzY0l1MDc5OVE/edit?usp=sharing
The VM is a slackware 14 32bit with virtio disk that I obtained from a virt-v2v from CentOS 6.3+Qemu/KVM The problem is that the cloned VM recognizes the disks in reversed order
See these images where sl1432 is master slcone is the clone
disk layout in details pane seems equal with boot disk the one that appears as the second, but the master boots ok, the slave no. Disks are swapped
Master VM disk details: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0BwoPbcrMv8mvSWNVNFI4bHg4Umc/edit?usp=sharing
Clone VM disks details: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0BwoPbcrMv8mvM1N0bVcyNlFPS1U/edit?usp=sharing
Page with the two consoles where you can see that vda of master becomes vdb of clone and vice-versa: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0BwoPbcrMv8mveFpESEs5V1dUTFE/edit?usp=sharing
Can I swap again in some way? In VMware for example you can see and edit SCSI IDs of disks...
Can you please provide the engine logs where the boot success/failure of master and clone can be seen?
2) KO, if I clone a windows 7 VM from a snapshot (time 17:09) I get this on gui https://docs.google.com/file/d/0BwoPbcrMv8mvaW9OVW84WVI1dkU/edit?usp=sharing
You can find the engine.log from server restart (at 17:06) here: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0BwoPbcrMv8mvTDQzRTFfbFgxX0E/edit?usp=sharing
Are there any restrictions? The VM was powered off when taking the snapshot and making the clone.
Hi Gianluca,
Regarding the second item you mentioned - failure of the clone vm from snapshot, the engine log indicates that the following error occurred "Volume Group not big enough" - suggesting you might check if you have enough free space.
