Dear all,
What is the besst and quickest way to move all vm's to a new ovirt
environment? (new management host). Storage is located on a SAN.
Kind regards,
Koen
2:07 a.m.
Clonezilla works pretty well and it only copies used blocks, so it works fine with thin
provisioned virtual disks.

New subject: Enable Smart Array P212 thru VM
Hi,
I'd like to know if there is any solution to enable a Smart Array P212 PCIe card over
a Windows VM ?
I've a Backup Acronis Software to install, and I'd prefer to install it on a
CentOS distrib, and not on a Windows 2008 R2.
Our old backup software is Symantec Backup Exec and we have to keep the possibility to
restore old tapes on demand.
So the solution to keep a sleeping Windows VM, and have the way to enable it, just to
restore a tape would be perfect.
I've tried to add a new hardware with virt-manager, but this action just freeze the
manager, and I need to restart the libvirtd service to unlock it.
If anybody knows a way to do that, I'd be very grateful.
Thanks in advance

You could share a tape library as iSCSI target and connet it to the VM.
I've never do a similar thing but internet give some suggestions:

I use libvirt for this backup server, and I also have a cluster on oVirt, but for this
case I only want to use a virtualized Windows 2008 to in case restore old tape created on
our old Symantec BackUp Exec 2010 software.

So your Windows VM is managed by libvirt directly? virt-manager/virsh?
Then I think it should be supported, never tried that myself. Try searching for
'libvirt pci passthrough' and/or ask on some libvirt mailing list.
If it's something else, please give more details - explain what you want/need to
run where, OSes, virt tools/products and versions, etc.

New subject: Enable Smart Array P212 thru VM
That's right the Windows VM is managed by libvirt via virt-manager on a CentOS 6.6
host.
I just want to share my HP Smart Array P212 PCIe SAS Card between Acronis (on physical
CentOS 6.6) and Symantec Backup Exec (on Windows 2008 VM), I need to be able to restore
files from DAT tapes created in Backup Exec.
So the Windows will be UP only for emergency backup, the rest of the time the device will
be used to make new backup/Restore operations.
I just want to have a backup solution, for old files without keeping a physical server for
that.

New subject: Enable Smart Array P212 thru VM
Hi,
Thank you for the links, the first second one seems to be too expensive, but the first one
give an nice way.
I'm trying to compile the solution and give a try on it, sounds good.
We'll see...

You could share a tape library as iSCSI target and connet it to the VM.
I've never do a similar thing but internet give some suggestions:

Hi,
I'd like to know if there is any solution to enable a Smart Array P212 PCIe card over
a Windows VM ?
I've a Backup Acronis Software to install, and I'd prefer to install it on a
CentOS distrib, and not on a Windows 2008 R2.
Our old backup software is Symantec Backup Exec and we have to keep the possibility to
restore old tapes on demand.
So the solution to keep a sleeping Windows VM, and have the way to enable it, just to
restore a tape would be perfect.
I've tried to add a new hardware with virt-manager, but this action just freeze the
manager, and I need to restart the libvirtd service to unlock it.
If anybody knows a way to do that, I'd be very grateful.
Thanks in advance

Subject: [ovirt-users] New Environment
Dear all,
What is the besst and quickest way to move all vm's to a new ovirt
environment? (new management host). Storage is located on a SAN.
Not sure how to move the VMs, other than using an export domain.
Or directly import from the storage domain you have - 3.5 should
support that too.
If you want to move the _engine_, you might consider migrating using
backup/restore, similarly to [1].
