[Users] Reimporting storage domains after reinstalling ovirt

[Gadi Ickowicz]

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. Send a DELETE request to <fqdn/ip of engine>/api/storageconnections/<ID of storage connection>

Thanks,
Gadi Ickowicz

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
