Ok. How to do this ?
I have access to FC storage, where VM placed
you can use the persisted libvirt definition on host where it was running last if the host just crashed (it’s removed on clean guest shutdown though). If you have it you can connect the appropriate storage domain using vdsm-client, and then start the VM using that libvirt definition.
again, it’s not very easy to do.
In all other cases it would have to be generated by the engine again as the OVF_STORE OVF backup is an OVF and you need libvirt’s XML so you would have to convert it first anyway, so again nothing simple to do.
In disaster recovery scenrio you can just take the whole storage domain and import it into the new clean engine installation and you’ll get all the VMs
it depends what you really want to do
