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
Clonezilla works pretty well and it only copies used blocks, so it works fine with thin provisioned virtual disks. -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht-----

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 Alain VONDRA Chargé d'exploitation des Systèmes d'Information Direction Administrative et Financière +33 1 44 39 77 76 UNICEF France 3 rue Duguay Trouin 75006 PARIS www.unicef.fr
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: http://scst.sourceforge.net/target_iscsi.html http://www.kraftkennedy.com/virtualizing-scsi-tape-drives-with-an-iscsi-brid...

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. Best, ----- Original Message -----

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.

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]. [1] http://www.ovirt.org/Migrate_to_Hosted_Engine -- Didi
Ok, thanks all for the answers. I'll look into this :-) [SOLVED] 2015-02-12 8:26 GMT+01:00 Yedidyah Bar David <didi@redhat.com>:

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].
