[Users] Reimporting storage domains after reinstalling ovirt

Hi Guys, Currently I've got a Centos machine running the latest ovirt-release. This machine is using a local raid set containing a directory with ovirt-based VMs from my previous install. The ovirt install is a completely fresh install, no storage/VMs have been created yet. What's the best way to reimport those? I might try to create a new storage domain and copy all old VMs into it (if that works anyway...) , or just reimport the old domain from the web-interface. Does either trick have any advantage, or is there a best practice I should adhere to? Cheers, Boudewijn

Hi Boudewijn, First of all, the wiki page you are referring to is a feature page that was never implemented. We are currently working on the same feature, this is the correct feature page: http://www.ovirt.org/Features/ImportStorageDomain . I will ask that the irrelevant page be removed to avoid any further confusion. Second, currently, the only way to import a domain is to create an export domain and import it. Can you get the old setup-up and create an export domain? If not, we'll try to help and work around this is issue, but this is going to be very complex, since this is not supported. Just to have a general understanding of your setup - your storage on the same machine as ovirt engine? I'm assuming you're using web-admin. What exactly are you doing there? We don't have the import option there as you mentioned, so I don't understand how you could import an SD that was not export. Adding the entry to /etc/exports is meaningless. Do you have the ovfs of the old VMs available? In the meantime checking for an easier solution than the above, will get back to you on that. Regards, Vered ----- Original Message -----

Hi Boudewijn,

First of all, the wiki page you are referring to is a feature page that was never implemented. We are currently working on the same feature, this is the correct feature page: http://www.ovirt.org/Features/ImportStorageDomain . I will ask that the irrelevant page be removed to avoid any further confusion.

Second, currently, the only way to import a domain is to create an export domain and import it. Can you get the old setup-up and create an export domain? If not, we'll try to help and work around this is issue, but this is going to be very complex, since this is not supported.

Just to have a general understanding of your setup - your storage on the same machine as ovirt engine?

I'm assuming you're using web-admin. What exactly are you doing there? We don't have the import option there as you mentioned, so I don't understand how you could import an SD that was not export. Adding the entry to /etc/exports is meaningless.

Do you have the ovfs of the old VMs available? In the meantime checking for an easier solution than the above, will get back to you on that.

Thank you very much for your reply; I didn't expect this (at first hand) simple action to be so hard/complex to perform.

hence the feature page you saw, to add this functionality (currently work in progress)

My machine is indeed a single machine containing both a node, webinterface and storage.

The old setup has been reinstalled, so I can't get that one to work anymore. On the other hand I do still have a database dump from it. I'm using the webadmin indeed and if I go to storage there's a button saying import domain. In the dialogue that pops up after pressing that button it's mentioned that I should use a FQDN/IP notation which made me expect that it uses NFS ;-).

Yes I do have ovf's, this is a directory listing from one of the storage domains:

How should I go on recovering those VMs?

change the domain into an export domain, attach it, and import the VMs from it (currently, you can only import an export domain) i think this thread has the relevant info: https://www.mail-archive.com/users@ovirt.org/msg04257.html

Interesting: i just tried readding it again (maybe rereading the storage domain takes a lot of time) but despite it not showing up in the storage domain list, ovirt's webadmin tells met the repo has already been added: Error while executing action: Cannot add Storage Connection. Storage connection already exists. Strange. Cheers, Boudewijn

Hi, Regarding what to do in order to be able to add the domain, due to the bug you pointed out (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1059604), the workaround is to move the host to a datacenter. Check the host's cluster under the web interface - if it does not list a datacenter, you can move the host to maintenance, select the cluster, click 'edit' and then select a datacenter. The second error "Error while executing action: Cannot add Storage Connection. Storage connection already exists." is also a known bug (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1014966). You need to find the storage connection and remove it manually from oVirt. This can be done with REST or SDK. For REST: 1. find the ID of the connection. should be at: <fqdn/ip of engine>/api/storageconnections . (look for the connection that lists 192.168.1.44:/raid/ovirt-old/data and note it's ID) 2.

Hi Gadi, My machine is indeed already in a DC, I missed that part of the bug completely yesterday night ;-). Regarding the storage connection: okay I'll have it removed. On the other hand, will readding it by hand (again) help me in getting my old VMs to work again? I really like ovirt, but having this amount of problems when reinstalling my hypervisor really spoils the party :(. Cheers, Boudewijn

the bug is about a host with a cluster not associated with a DC. is your cluster associated with a DC?

Error while executing action: Cannot add Storage. Storage format V3 is not supported on the selected host version.

I just had a look for this one and found this bug (in which you replied... such a small world :) ) : https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1059604 But there's no obvious solution over there.

the bug is about a host with a cluster not associated with a DC. is your cluster associated with a DC?

Yes it is, so my buglink isn't that relevant after all. Thanks :). Despite of that, my setup still isn't running and I haven't got a clue on how to get it to work again. Cheers, Boudewijn

Hi Jason, Thanks! I'm going to try this after finishing my coffee! Can you explain to me *why* this will change the situation? I'd like to have a better understanding about the inner workings of ovirt. Cheers, Boudewijn

I don't know -- TYPE=0 is what you find in the export domain metadata files. I'd love to be able to bring back images w/o the export domain step in the middle...

Hi Jason, Thanks, although that's quite an ugly option, although better than not being able to do it at all... I'll keep it in mind anyway if everything else fails.

There's a database element to this as well, that's why I think there's the "fake" image creation element.

Hi Jason, Due to lack of viable alternative, I've decided to go and try this approach. I just had a look at my datafiles: - these are either 8gb (OS) or 250gb (LVM images) - can't mount those directly in my host OS (tried because of the next point) - I don't know to what VM this image/VM belongs . They're all quite the same (basic debian install), so determining it just by running strings etc on those will not be easy - I can't import the old VMs from the old storage. If I create new images and dd the old information into those new images the metadata will not be copied too. So the only option is not reusing the VM's but creating completely new ones and determining which disk images are required for these VMs. Then creating the new image structure and dd'ing the corresponding images from the old VMs into the new ones. In order to do so I need to know what data belongs to what VM. Is there a trick for doing this? I still do have the database from the old ovirt machine, this might save me. Will have a look into that one tomorrow. Cheers, Boudewijn

Hi Boudewijn, So we can proceed and recover your data i'd like to know - 1. can you use the db backup? will you lose any important data if you chose to use it? 2, did you have snapshots for your vm? please answer so we can proceed with it, we can find methods for restoring without having to perform images copy (and to restore with copying) - but each way has it's implications. thanks, Liron.

Dear Liron, Sure thank you very much :). 1: Well it's just a database dump. I can import it into a fresh db, that's no problem. 2: No I did not have snapshots for my VMs as far as I know. I might have a single one (in order to test/play around), but I will not mind losing it. Cheers, Boudewijn

Hi Boudewijn,
if you have db backup and you won't lose any data using it - it would be the simplest approach.

Please read carefully the following options and keep backup before attempting any of it -
for vm's that you don't have space issue with - you can try to previously suggested approach, but it'll obviously take longer as it requires copying of the data.

Option A -
*doesn't require copying the disks
*if your vms had snapshots involving disks - it won't work currently.

let's try to restore a specific vm and continue from there - i'm adding here info - if needed i'll test it on my own deployment.
A. first of all, let's get the disks attached to some vm : some options to do that.
*under the webadmin ui, select a vm listed under the "export" domain, there should be a disks tab indicating what disks are attached to the vm - check if you can see the disk id's there.
B. query the storage domain content using rest-api - afaik we don't return that info from there. so let's skip that option.
1. under the storage domain storage directory (storage) enter the /vms directory - you should see bunch of OVF files there - that's a file containing a vm configuration.
2. open one specific ovf file - that's the vm that we'll attempt to restore - the ovf file is a file containing the vm configuration
*within the ovf file look for the following string: "diskId" and copy those ids aside, these should be the vm attached disks.
*copy the vm disk from the other storage domain, edit the metadata accordingly to have the proper storage domain id listed
*try to import the disks using the method specified here:  
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=886133
*after this, you should see the disks as "floating", then you can add the vm using the OVF file we discussed in stage 2 using the method specified here:
http://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/c/15894/

Option B -
*Replace the images data files with blank files
*Initiate Import for the vm, should be really quick obviously.
*As soon as the import starts, you can either:
1. let the import be done and replace the data, not that in that case the info saved in the engine db won't be correct (for example, the actual image size..etc)
2. after the tasks for importing are created (you'll see that in the engine log), turn the engine down immediately (immediately means within few seconds) and after the copy tasks completes on the host replace the data files and then start the engine - so that when the engine will start it'll update the db information according to the updated data files.

Hi Guys, Thank you for the elaborate information. I'll try to restore the DB indeed and make sure all the mounts I previously (when creating the DB-dump) had will be there too. I also just had a look in my old DB, which I've just restored: engine=# select vm_name from vm_static; vm_name ----------------- Blank template mail nagios bacula debian-template jabber downloadbak vpn (9 rows) That's looking great. Actually the most important VMs to restore (the rest are re-created in about 2-3 hours so having to re-create those instead of restoring would be okayish): - bacula - downloadbak Problem is that both of those are the VMs with the most of the disks attached. Just had a look in the databasedump for the vm id's and found this:

For PostgreSQL access you have to check your previous settings in /var/lib/pgsql/data relevant files are pg_hba.conf and postgresql.conf On a standard ovirt 3.3.3 on CentOS 6.5 my config is pg_hba.conf; local all all ident host engine engine 0.0.0.0/0 md5 host engine engine ::0/0 md5 host all all 127.0.0.1/32 ident host all all ::1/128 ident If I compare modifications made by engine setup in respect of pre-defined ones: [root@ovirteng02 data]# diff postgresql.conf postgresql.conf.20140301072333 64,65c64 < # max_connections = 100 # (change requires restart) < max_connections = 150 ---

Option A - *doesn't require copying the disks *if your vms had snapshots involving disks - it won't work currently.

let's try to restore a specific vm and continue from there - i'm adding here info - if needed i'll test it on my own deployment. A. first of all, let's get the disks attached to some vm : some options to do that. *under the webadmin ui, select a vm listed under the "export" domain, there should be a disks tab indicating what disks are attached to the vm - check if you can see the disk id's there. B. query the storage domain content using rest-api - afaik we don't return that info from there. so let's skip that option. 1. under the storage domain storage directory (storage) enter the /vms directory - you should see bunch of OVF files there - that's a file containing a vm configuration. 2. open one specific ovf file - that's the vm that we'll attempt to restore - the ovf file is a file containing the vm configuration *within the ovf file look for the following string: "diskId" and copy those ids aside, these should be the vm attached disks. *copy the vm disk from the other storage domain, edit the metadata accordingly to have the proper storage domain id listed *try to import the disks using the method specified here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=886133 *after this, you should see the disks as "floating", then you can add the vm using the OVF file we discussed in stage 2 using the method specified here: http://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/c/15894/ In order to get the disks attached to a VM, I need to move them into a new import domain. How should I determine which files to get? There were multiple VMs in the directory, each having multiple LVM-based storage domains so I just had a look, I 'm only interested in images from "Downloadbak".

Hi Jason,

Thanks! I'm going to try this after finishing my coffee! Can you explain to me *why* this will change the situation? I'd like to have a better understanding about the inner workings of ovirt.

I don't know -- TYPE=0 is what you find in the export domain metadata files. I'd love to be able to bring back images w/o the export domain step in the middle...

import data domain is in the works, should make 3.5.
