[ovirt-users] Re: help: renamed master volume
Okay, since you asked:
(note: this is in node 4.3.10. but hosted-engine is 4.2
I'd LIKE to upgrade it. but the upgrade process is broken.
thats a whole nuther story, aobut how postgresql10 doesnt show up even though its
required for
yum update 'ovirt*setup'
:-/)
1. go to individual node UI.
2. Click on Storage
3. Look at the right-sdie aera for "Volume Groups". click on the one that is for
your master data volume
4. Click on the Rename button on the top right. Pick something sensible
5. wait a while, and eventually your cluster logs will freak out.
Happily for me, since our VMs are very lightly loaded, this did not immediately cause a
crash.
But the cluster freaked out.. engine log spewed those errors after a while.. and in the
cluster(engine) UI, it eventually showed
Storage->Domains
as offline.
(well it shows the master as offline, and it didnt even know about the other ones any
more, until I renamed it back)

nevermind.. found the answer myself thank goodness.
had to rename the volume back to the value of the msdUUID. not the spUUID, which I
already tried.
If its fatal to rename that volume...
would be nice to have it lockedout or something?
Did you rename the volume from within oVirt UI?
Can you give clear reproduction instructions, how to break your storage domain
by renaming a volume?
