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...
https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_virtualization/4.1/...
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

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.

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.

/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

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.

Thanks for reply. I read this late at night and assumed the "engine url" meant
old KVM. system .. but this implies the oVirt engine. I then translated your helpful
notes... but likely missing some parameter.

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

grep '<name>'
<name>export1</name>
<name>iscsi1</name>

<name>nfs1</name>
<name>nfs2</name>
<name>ovirt-image-repository</name>
Nir
8:17 p.m.
Well.. to know how to do it with Curl is helpful.. but I think I did
[root@odin ~]# curl -s -k --user admin@internal:blahblah
https://ovirte01.penguinpages.local/ovirt-engine/api/storagedomains/ |grep
'<name>'
<name>data</name>
<name>hosted_storage</name>
<name>ovirt-image-repository</name>
What I guess I did is translated that field --sd-name my-storage-domain \
to " volume" name... My question is .. where do those fields come from?
And which would you typically place all your VMs into?
[image: image.png]
I just took a guess.. and figured "data" sounded like a good place to
stick raw images to build into VM...

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.

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).

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/K...
https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_virtualization/4.1/...
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
