[Users] Ovirt Gluster problems

[Juan Pablo Lorier]

Hi Sahina,

I've tried to remove the volume also from gluster manually to see if
ovirt would set it as inactive, but nothing.
The thing now is that as I was unable to remove the gluster domain, I
decided to force remove the hole data center and to my surprise, though
it deleted the DC and all it's data, it didn't delete the volume and is
still there in volume tab depending on a non existing cluster and thus
I'm not able to do anything with it as everything fails with "there's no
host in the cluster"....
Sounds like the destroy operation is not checking everything and leaves
things hanging in the air.
Can you help me hacking the database to remove the volume? I'm in a rush
and can't wait till this bug gets solved (didn't open a bz as I'm too
busy right now).
I have a deadline to get this working by the 10th February and won't be
at the office from 4 through 6, so you may imagine where I'm standing.
I think the hole logic of dependencies in the gluster DC (maybe more)
must be checked as since I had my gluster domain down I was unable to do
mostly anything in the DC because everything depended on each other. I
couldn't delete the domain as there where vms in it, but couldn't delete
the vms as they needed the domain. Couldn't remove the hosts as they
where bricks, but couldn't remove from the volume as the domain was
down, etc, etc
Regards,
