Hello everyone, i created a python tool to backup and restore oVirt's VMs. Also i created a little "how to" on my blog: http://blog.infratic.com/2017/07/create-ovirtrhevs-vm-backup/ I hope it help someone else Regards Victor Acosta
Thanks for sharing, looks great ! One remark, you should choose a license for your code and add it to the github repo. [1] [1] https://github.com/vacosta94/VirtBKP On Sat, Jul 8, 2017 at 12:40 AM, Victor José Acosta Domínguez < vic.ad94@gmail.com> wrote:

I didnt know that, we may adapt it in the future, but at first we will probably just write a basic set of scripts for minimal backup functionally since our dev time is limited.

Hi Bernardo,
Thanks, I knew this tool, but it is based on sdk3 which will be removed in the next version 4.2, so I'm looking at sdk4 project.
You may want to adapt it?

Hello Victor,
I have some questions about your script

Hello everyone, i created a python tool to backup and restore oVirt's VMs.
Also i created a little "how to" on my blog: http://blog.infratic.com/2017/07/create-ovirtrhevs-vm-backup/
- Backup step is okay, and I get a usable qcow2 image of the snapshot vm in the backup vm. It seems to be compliant with the official backup API, except on the step 2.
1. *Take a snapshot of the virtual machine to be backed up - (existing oVirt REST API operation)* 2. *Back up the virtual machine configuration at the time of the snapshot (the disk configuration can be backed up as well if needed) - (added capability to oVirt as part of the Backup API)*
I can't see any vm configuration anywhere but only the qcow2 disk itself
1. *Attach the disk snapshots that were created in (1) to the virtual appliance for data backup - (added capability to oVirt as part of the Backup API)* 2. 3. *Detach the disk snapshots that were attached in (4) from the virtual appliance - (added capability to oVirt as part of the Backup API)*
An other case is when the vm to backup has more than one disk. After I tested it, I found that only one qcow2 disk is saved on the backup vm. This is really a matter when the original vm has many disks part of lvm, it makes the vm restoration unusable.
- About vm restoration, it seems that you are using the upload_disk api, so the disk is uploaded to the pre-defined storage domain, so it is not a real vm restoration.
Do you plan to backup and restore a full VM (disks + vm definition) in a next release?
I hope it help someone else
Regards
Victor Acosta

Wouldn't it be more logical to take a snapshot, get the then read-only disk and export it directly from any host that can read it, and finally remove the snapshot ? Why the need to clone AND export ? What is the limitation to pull this VM directlly from host decreasing the time it takes the overall process and mainly the amount of storage necessary to do this job. Ohh and before I forget by this workflow the disks are hammered a lot more decreasing their lifetime and may causing performance issues mainly during the clone process.

Ill keep you in mind when looking into it.

Hi Bernardo,
Thanks, I knew this tool, but it is based on sdk3 which will be removed in the next version 4.2, so I'm looking at sdk4 project.
You may want to adapt it?

Hello Victor,
I have some questions about your script
Le 07/07/2017 à 23:40, Victor José Acosta Domínguez a écrit :
Hello everyone, i created a python tool to backup and restore oVirt's VMs.
Also i created a little "how to" on my blog: http://blog.infratic.com/2017/07/create-ovirtrhevs-vm-backup/ <http://blog.infratic.com/2017/07/create-ovirtrhevs-vm-backup/>
* Backup step is okay, and I get a usable qcow2 image of the snapshot vm in the backup vm. It seems to be compliant with the official backup API, except on the step 2.
1. /Take a snapshot of the virtual machine to be backed up - (existing oVirt REST API operation)/ 2. /Back up the virtual machine configuration at the time of the snapshot (the disk configuration can be backed up as well if needed) - (added capability to oVirt as part of the Backup API)/
I can't see any vm configuration anywhere but only the qcow2 disk itself
1. /Attach the disk snapshots that were created in (1) to the virtual appliance for data backup - (added capability to oVirt as part of the Backup API)/ 2. / / 3. /Detach the disk snapshots that were attached in (4) from the virtual appliance - (added capability to oVirt as part of the Backup API)/
An other case is when the vm to backup has more than one disk. After I tested it, I found that only one qcow2 disk is saved on the backup vm. This is really a matter when the original vm has many disks part of lvm, it makes the vm restoration unusable.
* About vm restoration, it seems that you are using the upload_disk api, so the disk is uploaded to the pre-defined storage domain, so it is not a real vm restoration.
Do you plan to backup and restore a full VM (disks + vm definition) in a next release?
I hope it help someone else
Regards
Victor Acosta

Yes seems to be good, the UI is very nice, but I didn't manage to make one backup though the connection to the API is okay. I followed the README but Nothing happens when lauching the backup processus...

Hi Bernardo,
Thanks, I knew this tool, but it is based on sdk3 which will be removed in the next version 4.2, so I'm looking at sdk4 project.
You may want to adapt it?

Hello Victor,
I have some questions about your script

Hello everyone, i created a python tool to backup and restore oVirt's VMs.
Also i created a little "how to" on my blog: http://blog.infratic.com/2017/07/create-ovirtrhevs-vm-backup/
- Backup step is okay, and I get a usable qcow2 image of the snapshot vm in the backup vm. It seems to be compliant with the official backup API, except on the step 2.
1. *Take a snapshot of the virtual machine to be backed up - (existing oVirt REST API operation)* 2. *Back up the virtual machine configuration at the time of the snapshot (the disk configuration can be backed up as well if needed) - (added capability to oVirt as part of the Backup API)*
I can't see any vm configuration anywhere but only the qcow2 disk itself
1. *Attach the disk snapshots that were created in (1) to the virtual appliance for data backup - (added capability to oVirt as part of the Backup API)* 2. 3. *Detach the disk snapshots that were attached in (4) from the virtual appliance - (added capability to oVirt as part of the Backup API)*
An other case is when the vm to backup has more than one disk. After I tested it, I found that only one qcow2 disk is saved on the backup vm. This is really a matter when the original vm has many disks part of lvm, it makes the vm restoration unusable.
- About vm restoration, it seems that you are using the upload_disk api, so the disk is uploaded to the pre-defined storage domain, so it is not a real vm restoration.
Do you plan to backup and restore a full VM (disks + vm definition) in a next release?
I hope it help someone else

Victor Acosta

Hello Victor,

Hello everyone, i created a python tool to backup and restore oVirt's VMs.
Also i created a little "how to" on my blog: http://blog.infratic.com/2017/07/create-ovirtrhevs-vm-backup/
- Backup step is okay, and I get a usable qcow2 image of the snapshot vm in the backup vm. It seems to be compliant with the official backup API, except on the step 2.
1. *Take a snapshot of the virtual machine to be backed up - (existing oVirt REST API operation)* 2. *Back up the virtual machine configuration at the time of the snapshot (the disk configuration can be backed up as well if needed) - (added capability to oVirt as part of the Backup API)*
I can't see any vm configuration anywhere but only the qcow2 disk itself
1. *Attach the disk snapshots that were created in (1) to the virtual appliance for data backup - (added capability to oVirt as part of the Backup API)* 2. 3. *Detach the disk snapshots that were attached in (4) from the virtual appliance - (added capability to oVirt as part of the Backup API)*
An other case is when the vm to backup has more than one disk. After I tested it, I found that only one qcow2 disk is saved on the backup vm. This is really a matter when the original vm has many disks part of lvm, it makes the vm restoration unusable.
- About vm restoration, it seems that you are using the upload_disk api, so the disk is uploaded to the pre-defined storage domain, so it is not a real vm restoration.
Do you plan to backup and restore a full VM (disks + vm definition) in a next release?
I hope it help someone else

Victor Acosta

SDKv3 will not be removed in 4.2.

We decided to just let it stay, instead of forcing everyone to convert. Note that none of the new features since 4.0 are supported in v3 API, it has far fewer examples, documentation or features for the SDKs themselves (see[1] for example).

SDKv3 will not be removed in 4.2.
You may want to adapt it?
Note that you can gradually move to v4. You can mix v4 API with v3 API and convert function by function. Y.

Hi Bernardo,
Thanks, I knew this tool, but it is based on sdk3 which will be removed in the next version 4.2, so I'm looking at sdk4 project.
So it has recently changed! There was a dedicated ticket in bugzilla about this and many warnings intended to users, but nothing to tell sdk3 removal will be postponed...
We decided to just let it stay, instead of forcing everyone to convert.
Nice to hear such a new, community is the key, and ovirt devs seem to remember!
Note that none of the new features since 4.0 are supported in v3 API, it has far fewer examples, documentation or features for the SDKs themselves (see[1] for example).
So does that mean v3 API will be kept far in the future? What about derivated tools like ovirt-shell?
There is no promise, but we are not dropping it at the moment. As long it's there, old (3.6.x) ovirt-shell should continue to work. We do not maintain either though. Ansible seems to be a great and powerful replacement to ovirt-shell. Another recommendation I can give is ovirtcmd[1], though I have not tried it myself, I've looked at the code and it looks good. Y. [1] https://github.com/fbacchella/ovirtcmd
From personal experience, I believe it is also easier to develop with the new SDKs. Y.
[1] https://ovirt.org/blog/2017/05/higher-performance-for-python-sdk/
SDKv3 will not be removed in 4.2.
You may want to adapt it?
Note that you can gradually move to v4. You can mix v4 API with v3 API and convert function by function. Y.

Hello Victor,
I have some questions about your script
Le 07/07/2017 à 23:40, Victor José Acosta Domínguez a écrit :
Hello everyone, i created a python tool to backup and restore oVirt's VMs.
Also i created a little "how to" on my blog: http://blog.infratic.com/2017/07/create-ovirtrhevs-vm-backup/
- Backup step is okay, and I get a usable qcow2 image of the snapshot vm in the backup vm. It seems to be compliant with the official backup API, except on the step 2.
1. *Take a snapshot of the virtual machine to be backed up - (existing oVirt REST API operation)* 2. *Back up the virtual machine configuration at the time of the snapshot (the disk configuration can be backed up as well if needed) - (added capability to oVirt as part of the Backup API)*
I can't see any vm configuration anywhere but only the qcow2 disk itself
1. *Attach the disk snapshots that were created in (1) to the virtual appliance for data backup - (added capability to oVirt as part of the Backup API)* 2. 3. *Detach the disk snapshots that were attached in (4) from the virtual appliance - (added capability to oVirt as part of the Backup API)*
An other case is when the vm to backup has more than one disk. After I tested it, I found that only one qcow2 disk is saved on the backup vm. This is really a matter when the original vm has many disks part of lvm, it makes the vm restoration unusable.
- About vm restoration, it seems that you are using the upload_disk api, so the disk is uploaded to the pre-defined storage domain, so it is not a real vm restoration.
Do you plan to backup and restore a full VM (disks + vm definition) in a next release?
I hope it help someone else
Regards
Victor Acosta
