Import Ge0-Replicated Storage Domain fails

Hi All, I have 2 independent Hyperconverged Sites/Data Centers. Site A has a GlusterFS Replica 3 + Arbiter Volume that is Storage Domain data2 This Volume is Geo-Replicated to a Replica 3 + Arbiter Volume at Site B called data2_bdt I have simulated a DR event and now want to import the Ge0-Replicated volume data2_bdt as a Storage Domain on Site B. Once imported I need to import the VMs on this volume to run in Site B. The Geo-Replication now works perfectly (thanks Strahil) but I haven't been able to import the Storage Domain. Please can someone point me in the right direction or documentation on how this can be achieved. Kind Regards Shimme...

Hi Simon, I think there was a DR Ansible role to make your life easier. Have you checked section 3 from https://www.ovirt.org/documentation/disaster_recovery_guide/ ?

Thanks Strahil, I was trying to do this manually first and was under the impression that Red Hat Ansible Engine was fairly expensive, something that we are trying to avoid, hence the oVirt environments. I hadn't realised that our engine on the Site B had installed as 4.4.6 following a rebuild last week. The engine on SIte A is 4.4.5 - not sure if that's an issue in this current failed import test? Our 2 sites are both Primary and will have Production VMs. Both sites will be geo-replicating to each other and therefore will both also be prospective DR sites. Any thoughts would be welcome. Kind Regards Simon...

Geo-replicating to each other .... Hm, I don't think it's supported. Can you drop a line to gluster-users mail list ? Ansible is open-source and is already installed on the HE , as most tasks are done with Absible there. For the DR, I think that you need to keep both sites on the same version. At least for Gluster is mandatory. Can you bump the site A version to match B ?

Hi Simon,
With the latest version of gluster, when geo-replication is in setup, the slave volume will be set to read-only. Before you could import that storage domain, make sure to disable read-only on the slave volume. # gluster volume set <slave-vol> features.read-only off I do not think the documentation details available upstream. @Ritesh Chikatwar <rchikatw@redhat.com> Could you check, whether the documentation is available upstream. Thanks, Satheesaran Sundaramoorthi
