importing existing storage domain
Say I have backed up a storage domain to another NFS. I now want to restore that backup. What would be the best method to restore all the disk images on that domain? I have tried export domains and importing existing domains but every time it says they are not empty and they "may be from somewhere else". They are in fact from somewhere else but that is somewhat the point of the exercise I am attempting to simulate a restore-from-backup (basically just an rsync of the entire storage domain to an offsite location) and its not going as planned. I have all the VM images and can ensure they are all in tact but ovirt refuses to acknowledge it I have also tried setting up a new storage domain and then copying the backup images directory to the new images directory under the newly established storage domain. ovirt sees the used space go down but does not reference / acknowledge / view any of the data actually there unless it creates it itself How can I restore an rsync backup of a storage domain? I am feeling like there isnt a way to readily do it so if not, how can I restore these backed up images? -- *Charles Kozler* *Vice President, IT Operations* FIX Flyer, LLC 225 Broadway | Suite 1600 | New York, NY 10007 1-888-349-3593 http://www.fixflyer.com <http://fixflyer.com> NOTICE TO RECIPIENT: THIS E-MAIL IS MEANT ONLY FOR THE INTENDED RECIPIENT(S) OF THE TRANSMISSION, AND CONTAINS CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION WHICH IS PROPRIETARY TO FIX FLYER LLC.

Hi, Did you try to import the data domain as an existing one to the DC [1]? [1] http://www.ovirt.org/Features/ImportStorageDomain On Tue, Feb 2, 2016 at 3:25 PM, Charles Kozler <charles@fixflyer.com> wrote:

I did read that but that doc doesnt seem to have any real actionable items. It seems more like a design spec rather than a walkthrough / README or HOWTO on how to recover from a backed up storage domain I tried 'An import screen for NFS Storage Domain' by doing the following : system -> "storage tab" -> import existing domain Below you can see the CLI of the backed up domain [root@node01 t]# ll total 4 drwxr-xr-x. 5 vdsm kvm 4096 Dec 8 10:05 c2ce3235-1e09-46b6-9dcd-3fffd6238879 -rwxr-xr-x. 1 vdsm kvm 0 Feb 1 23:14 __DIRECT_IO_TEST__ [root@njsevcnp01 t]# du -sch ./* | grep G 29G ./c2ce3235-1e09-46b6-9dcd-3fffd6238879 29G total and this is the result I received (before/after) http://imgur.com/a/UvGmr On Tue, Feb 2, 2016 at 9:20 AM, Elad Ben Aharon <ebenahar@redhat.com> wrote:

But to add to that I've tried 3.5 to 3.5 and I received the same issue On Feb 2, 2016 12:29 PM, charles@fixflyer.com wrote:
