oVirt - KVM QCow2 Import
I rebuilt my lab environment. And their are four or five VMs that really would help if I did not have to rebuild. oVirt as I am now finding when it creates infrastructure, sets it out such that I cannot just use older means of placing .qcow2 files in folders and .xml files in other folders.... and they show up on services restarting. How do I import VMs from files? I found this article but implies VM is running: https://www.ovirt.org/develop/release-management/features/virt/KvmToOvirt.ht... https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_virtualization/4.1/htm... I need a way to import a file. Even if it means temporarily hosting on "KVM on one of the hosts to then bring in once it is up. Thanks -- penguinpages

You did not share the oVirt version, so I'm assuming 4.4. The simplest way is to upload the qcow2 images to oVirt, and create a new VM with the new disk. On the hypervisor where the files are located, install the required packages: dnf install ovirt-imageio-client python3-ovirt-engine-sdk4 And upload the image: python3 /usr/share/doc/python3-ovirt-engine-sdk4/examples/upload_disk.py \ --engine-url https://my.engine/ \ --username admin@internal \ --password-file /path/to/password/file \ --cafile /path/to/cafile \ --sd-name my-storage-domain \ --disk-sparse \ /path/to/image.qcow2 This will upload the file in qcow2 format to whatever type of storage you have. You can change the format if you like using --disk-format. See --help for all the options. We also support importing from libvirt, but for this you need to have the vm defined in libvirt. If you don't have this, It will probably be easier to upload the images and create a new vm in oVirt. Nir

Ugh.. this is bad. On the hypervisor where the files are located ... My customers send me tar files with VMs all the time. And I send them. This will make it much more difficult, if I can't import xml / qcow2 #### This cluster .. is my home cluster and so.. three servers.. and they were CentOs 7 + VDO + Gluster... I use to have link qemu directory from all three on gluster so if one server died .. or I messed it up and it was needing repair... I could still start up and run the VMs. Old cluster notes: Optional: Redirect Default KVM VM Storage location. Ex: /data/gv0/vms on thor # <<<<< Broken with HCI.. not sure process here yet….. hold off till oVirt HCI engine issues worked out on how it enables new VM definitions to be shared if one or more nodes goes down 2020-09-17 >>>> # Pool default XML configuration edited. virsh pool-edit default <pool type='dir'> <name>default</name> <uuid>d3ae9e9a-8bc8-4a17-8476-3fe3334204f3</uuid> <capacity unit='bytes'>37734498304</capacity> <allocation unit='bytes'>27749486592</allocation> <available unit='bytes'>9985011712</available> <source> </source> <target> # <path>/var/lib/libvirt/images</path> <path>/data/gv0/vms</path> <permissions> <mode>0711</mode> <owner>0</owner> <group>0</group> </permissions> </target> </pool> # For now each KVM host has shared folder linked. Not sure how with out restart of libvirtd to get peers to easily see configuration file. Can run import command but need to test. # To enable multiple KVM nodes in a shared environment to be able to take over the roles of peers in the event of one failing the XML files stored in /etc/libvirt/qemu/ need to be on a shared device. # Ex: Move medusa /etc/libvirt/qemu/ to be on gluster share volume space /data/gv0/vms/medusa systemctl stop libvirtd mkdir -p /media/vmstore/qemu mv -f /etc/libvirt/qemu/* /media/vmstore/qemu ln -s /media/vmstore/qemu /etc/libvirt/qemu systemctl daemon-reload systemctl start libvirt-guests.service systemctl enable libvirt-guests.service systemctl status libvirt-guests.service As I tried to use setup of engine it became apparent, my manual use of libvirtd setup was NOT going to be any way helpful with oVirt way of using it... Ok... I can learn new things.. I had to backup and remove all data (see other post about errors for HCI wizard failing if it detected existing VDO volume)... So I moved my four or so important VMs off to an external mount. I now need a way to bring them back. I really can't spend weeks rebuilding those infrastructure VMs. And I don't have a fourth server to rebuild hosting KVM system to import and then with oVirt to LibVirt connection.. slurp vm out. Plus.. that means anytime someone sends me a tar of qcow2 and xml.. I have to re-host to export.. :P On Mon, Sep 21, 2020 at 8:18 AM Nir Soffer <nsoffer@redhat.com> wrote:

On the hypervisor where the files are located, install the required packages:
dnf install ovirt-imageio-client python3-ovirt-engine-sdk4
And upload the image:
python3 /usr/share/doc/python3-ovirt-engine-sdk4/examples/upload_disk.py \ --engine-url https://my.engine/ \ --username admin@internal \ --password-file /path/to/password/file \ --cafile /path/to/cafile \ --sd-name my-storage-domain \ --disk-sparse \ /path/to/image.qcow2
This will upload the file in qcow2 format to whatever type of storage you have. You can change the format if you like using --disk-format. See --help for all the options.
We also support importing from libvirt, but for this you need to have the vm defined in libvirt. If you don't have this, It will probably be easier to upload the images and create a new vm in oVirt.

Thanks for reply. I read this late at night and assumed the "engine url" meant old KVM. system .. but this implies the oVirt engine.

Now with those ID numbers and that it kept its name (very helpful)... I am able to re-constitute the VM
VM boots fine. Fixing VLANs and manual macs on vNICs.. but this process worked fine.
Thanks for input. Would be nice to have a GUI "upload" via http into system :)
We have upload via GUI, but from your mail I understood the images are on the hypervisor, so copying them to the machine running the browser would be wasted of time. Go to Storage > Disks and click "Upload" or "Download". But this is less efficient, less correct, and not supporting all the features like converting image format and controlling sparseness. For uploading and downloading qcow2 images it should be fine, but if you have a qcow2 and want to upload to raw format this can be done only using the API, for example with upload_disk.py.

You used:
--sd-name vmstore
But there is no such storage domain in this setup.
Check the storage domains on this setup. One (ugly) way is is:
$ curl -s -k --user admin@internal:password https://ovirte01.penguinpages.local/ovirt-engine/api/storagedomains/ | grep '<name>' <name>export1</name> <name>iscsi1</name> <name>iscsi2</name> <name>nfs1</name> <name>nfs2</name> <name>ovirt-image-repository</name>

Have you tried to upload your qcow2 disks via the UI ? Maybe you can create a blank VM (same size of disks) and then replacing the disk with your qcow2 from KVM (works only of file-based storages like Gluster/NFS).

And their are four or five VMs that really would help if I did not have to rebuild. oVirt as I am now finding when it creates infrastructure, sets it out such that I cannot just use older means of placing .qcow2 files in folders and .xml files in other folders.... and they show up on services restarting. How do I import VMs from files? I found this article but implies VM is running: https://www.ovirt.org/develop/release-management/features/virt/KvmToOvirt.ht... https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_virtualization/4.1/htm... I need a way to import a file. Even if it means temporarily hosting on "KVM on one of the hosts to then bring in once it is up.
