I have reinstalled my test environment have come across an old error, see BZ 988299, Bad volume specification {u'index': 0,. At the end of that BZ there is mentioning of a problem with '_' in the name of the volume and a patch is mentioned but the code has since been change quite a bit and I can't find if that still applies. It look like it doesn't because I have a gluster volume with the name gv_ovirt_data01 and it look like it gets translated to gv__ovirt__data01 and then I can't start any VMs :-( Weird thing, I CAN import VMs from the export domain to this gluster domain.

Creating a new account with a different email domain didn't work either so I'm gonna summarize what I did today. It looks like that something goes wrong in vdsm/storage/glusterVolume.py. Volname in getVmVolumeInfo ends up with a volumename with double underscores in it, then svdsmProxy.glusterVolumeInfo is called which in the end calls a cli script, by supervdsmd, which returns an empty xml document because there is no such volume with double underscores. Running the command which is logged in supervdsm.log confirms this too. Reducing the volname to have only single underscores returns a correct xml object. My guess is that this: rpath = sdCache.produce(self.sdUUID).getRemotePath() probably should return what the real name is that has been used to connect to the storage. In my case: Real path entered during setup: st01:gv_ovirt_data01 What's used: st01:gv__ovirt__data01 Just doing a 's/__/_/' is a bit shortsighted but would work for me since I don't use '/' when entering the storage connection above (My perception is that if you want the NFS export of gluster you use the / else if you want the glusterfs protocol you don't. There is a line of code in vdsm which replaces one underscore with two AND replaces a / with an underscore, going back is ofcourse then impossible if you don't store the original). I hope one of the devs is willing to create the BZ with this info and I hope has a solution to this problem.
