Detecting already existing VM on the attached LUN.

Hi, I had a LUN(say L1) from NetApp storage array attached to RHEV iSCSI Storage Domain. I had couple of VMs on this storage domain. I had destroyed this storage domain when LUN became inaccessible for some reasons. Then I created new Storage Doamin with different LUN(say L2) and created couple of more VMs on it. Now first LUN (L1) is available. In this scenario, I have following two questions - 1) Can I attach L1 directly? 2) If I can, will I be able to access VMs present on L1? Thanks, Santosh. ***************************Legal Disclaimer*************************** "This communication may contain confidential and privileged material for the sole use of the intended recipient.

Hi Santosh, Which oVirt version are you using? If you were using oVirt 3.5 then you might use the Import Storage Domain feature to do that. (see [1]) [1] http://www.ovirt.org/Features/ImportStorageDomain#Work_flow_for_Import_block...

Thanks Maor. I am currently using 3.4. The link provides exactly what I am looking for. Thanks, Santosh. On 08/14/2014 05:15 AM, Maor Lipchuk wrote:

Keep in mind 3.5 is not offically released and still has some bugs. Am 14.08.2014 16:03, schrieb santosh:

This feature is supported for Storage Domains which were upgraded/created on Data Center 3.5, so if your previous Storage Domain has been removed while it was on Data Center of 3.4, it should not work.
