VMs missing following Import of Storage Domain
Hi All, I have 2 oVirt 3 node Clusters in 2 Datacenters - effectively 2 independent environements with stretched VLANs for DR purposes. Each volume is geo replicated to the other datacenter. Each volume is a separate Storage Domain. In a DR event the geo-replicated volumes/Storage Domains are imported in the other Datacenter and the VMs imported once it's attached. The issue I am seeing is that some of the VMs are not listed when I click 'VM Import' from the imported Storage Domain. The disks for those missing VMs however, do exist in 'Disk Import' Tab of the imported Storage Domain. Prior to importing the Storage Domain in Site B, all VM disks were migrated to a single Storage Domain in Site A and geo-replication allowed to sync. Kind Regards Simon...
Further investigation reveal that the OVF_STORE isn't being updated. Any ideas @Strahil?
Can anyone point me in the right direction to resolve this. Given that geo-replication is working as expected, trust in being able to have a DR failover without issue is completely shot if there’s an underlying issue that prevents restoring all of the VMs/Data. Regards Simon
I heard oVirt was almost dead, but I didn’t realise I would need a séance to get a response… Is there anybody there???

yeah, it makes sense that the VMs are missing in the OVF_STORE on the secondary site then I'd check the OVF_STORE on the primary site - if it's updated then check the replication mechanism otherwise, I'd check what those VMs that are missing have in common - were they created in about the same time and so maybe there was no attempt to update the OVF_STORE before the fail over, what do they have in common in terms of their storage consumption, etc
