Acquire an XML dump of a VM oVirt?
How does one get an XML dump of a VM from ovirt? I have seen ovirt do it in the engine.log, but not sure how to force it to generate one when I need it. Thank you. -- Jacob Green Systems Admin American Alloy Steel 713-300-5690
You can run `virsh -r dumpxml <vm name> ` on the relevant host On Thu, Dec 20, 2018, 16:17 Jacob Green <jgreen@aasteel.com wrote:

What if you cannot run the VM, so its not running on any specific host. But you want the XML to identify the <disk> information. Thank you. On 12/20/2018 09:10 AM, Benny Zlotnik wrote:

oVirt doesn't store the domain xml internally. The domain xml is generated only when trying to start the vm (that's the output you've seen in engine.log). I'm afraid there is no other trigger to force generating that xml at the moment. But the generation of the xml is mostly 1:1 mapping of some configuration that is stored differently in oVirt and can be found via the ui/rest-api. What do you look for exactly?
Thank you.

I have orphaned disks on my fiber channel that I need to remove, so I was trying to find a way to definitively identify the disk LVM ids so that I can remove the LVMs from the fiber channel manually. Since oVirt does not account for them for me. Basically it all started when I wanted to import/move some vms before a migration. I exported some VMs to an iscsi storage, then I migrated my fiber channel to a new oVirt environment that I connected that iscsi storage to as well. This created a problem as I now had a duplicate disk on the Fibre channel and the iscsi, so I could not simply move the disk back. Anyway I am in a situation now where I have some disks I want to remove, however there is no longer a VM tied to them. But before I remove the iscsi version of the VM I do have a chance to recover the lvm ID. That is what I am trying to do, reliably get a VMs complete list of LVM ids.
