Hi,
We have converted a very old fedora 5 server to run on oVirt. However,
since the Fedora 5 does not have virtio drivers, or virtio-scsi drivers,
the disks are connected to virtual IDE interface. The problem here is on
a single IDE interface, we cannot connect more than 2 disks. But the old
converted server had 4 disks on 2 IDE controllers.
First question is can we add one more virtual IDE Controller to the VM?
If yes, please share the procedure. Or whether any one can share the
proper virtio or virtio scsi for fedora 5 OS drivers so that we can get
other two inactive disks working.
Unfortunately we cannot upgrade from Fedora 5 at the moment.
Await your inputs.

Neither are possible. Does the Fedora have an iSCSI initiator support
perhaps? You can expose those disk via different VMs to that VM - but still
it might look different to the OS.
(We don't even support such an old OS - but if it works, great).

You might manage to write a vdsm hook to do this, no idea how hard
this can be. See e.g.:
https://www.ovirt.org/develop/developer-guide/vdsm/hooks-catalogue/
https://www.ovirt.org/develop/developer-guide/vdsm/hook/vmdisk/
Latter adds a virtio disk, you might try to write something based on it.

Neither are possible. Does the Fedora have an iSCSI initiator support
perhaps? You can expose those disk via different VMs to that VM - but still
it might look different to the OS.
(We don't even support such an old OS - but if it works, great).
You might try to use a newer kernel. It seems like Fedora 9 or 10 started
supporting virtio, so you can try their kernel.
No idea if it will work, and what might break. Try first on a test VM.

Hello Sergey,
Your suggestion worked Instead of extending the disks, we added the
third IDE disk with about 500 GB, created the required partitions, mount
points and just synchronised the date from physical server to all these
mount points using DD command. Post the completion of synchronization
process, we modified the fstab and the VM went live.
Now all well.
Thanks for your suggestion and WISH YOU & THE LIST A VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR.

Maybe you can make this two disks larger, make more extended
partitions on them and move partitions from disks 3 and 4 to this two
and modify fstab accordingly?
Or if you don't need separate mount points you can extend space on /
and move data to / filesystem tree and remove fstab entries,
and use only 1 virtual disk, if it's acceptable.
All this can be done from modern OS, you can connect all 4 disks via
virtio drivers, connect 5th disk, move data to it, install fedora5
bootloader,
modify fstab and than reattach to original vm via IDE.
