Hello everybody, I have a question, or more precisely information or best practice. I use oVirt 3.1 with an attachment on fiber channel on my SAN. Makes it even the San snapshots that are replicated on a remote site. it's a procedure for adding a new "Storage" Domain to another Data Centers (oVirt) in order to recover the state of a VM snapshoted by the SAN?

I've read the documentation on Disaster Recovery but it's for the site-to-site failover (i don't have dual architecture of ovirt) while my demand here is for the state recovered a current domain. And only to export the VM(snapshoted by a san) for restore in the current storage (production). thank you Pierre _______________________________________________ Users mailing list Users(a)ovirt.org http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users

Thank you for your answer,

Yes of course, yet a little fsck is not a problem when you can restore an entire VM after a big crash. But, create a new "storage" domain for another data center is forbiden because this a new "storage" domain is not empty, i have a error in ovirt when create a new "storage" domain with my snapshot, it's on this point that I have a problem, adding of lun snapshoted on a new "storage" domain Pierre >> >> I've read the documentation on Disaster Recovery but it's for the >> site-to-site failover (i don't have dual architecture of ovirt) while my >> demand here is for the state recovered a current domain.
