Hello,
I was trying incremental backup with the provided /usr/share/doc/python3-ovirt-engine-sdk4/examples/backup_vm.py and began using the "full" option.
But I specified an incorrect dir and during backup I got error due to filesystem full

[ 156.7 ] Creating image transfer for disk '33b0f6fb-a855-465d-a628-5fce9b64496a'

[snip]
ovirt_imageio._internal.nbd.ReplyError: Writing to file failed: [Error 28] No space left on device

This error is expected if you don't have space to write the data.

ok.

 

Now if I try the same backup command (so with "full" option) and I get

ovirtsdk4.Error: Fault reason is "Operation Failed". Fault detail is "[Cannot backup VM. The VM is during a backup operation.]". HTTP response code is 409.

This looks like a bug in the backup script - the backup should be finalized
even if the image transfer failed, but the error you get say the vm is still
in backup mode.
 

How can I clean the situation?

1. Stop the current backup

If you still have the output from the command, we log the backup UUID.

If you lost the backup id, you can get it using the API - visit this address in your browser:


Then stop the current backup using:

    /usr/share/doc/python3-ovirt-engine-sdk4/examples/backup_vm.py stop vm-id backup-id

If stopping the backup failed, stopping the VM will stop the backup.
I hope you are running recent enough version, since in early versions there
was a bug when you cannot stop the vm during a backup.

It is the latest 4.4.7. I run the backup_vm.py script from the engine:

ovirt-engine-4.4.7.7-1.el8.noarch
ovirt-engine-setup-plugin-imageio-4.4.7.7-1.el8.noarch
ovirt-imageio-common-2.2.0-1.el8.x86_64

ovirt-imageio-daemon-2.2.0-1.el8.x86_64
python3-ovirt-engine-sdk4-4.4.13-1.el8.x86_64

But if I try the stop command I get the error

2. File a bug about this


Filed this one, hope its is correct; I chose ovirt-imageio as the product and Client as the component:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2001136

I put information also about the error received with the stop command

 
 

BTW: the parameter to put into ovirt.conf is backup-dir or backup_dir or what?

ovirt.conf do not include the backup dir, only details about engine. Adding backup-dir
to ovirt.conf or to backup specific configuration sounds like a good idea.

Nir

I agree
