[ovirt-users] importing iscsi storage domain

Wed Feb 4 15:44:37 UTC 2015

No, I did not wait 60 minutes before I tried to failover.  Do, I need to start over, or can I just failback and wait the hour for the ovfs to upload?  I do have a question, is this feature possible for an environment that was upgraded from 3.4 to 3.5?  My production environment is 3.4, the 3.5 environment is a clean test environment, but if I cant upgrade to 3.5 from 3.4 then this will not be a good DR option for me.

thanks

Hi Steven,

In order to import the VMs from the imported storage domain, the VMs configuration files (which are called OVFs) have to be uploaded first before the domain is detached from the setup. This is being done by engine in a time interval of 60 minutes (it's configurable using rhevm-config --set OvfUpdateInMinutes=<value> and restart ovirt-engine service). From 3.5.1, the OVFs are uploaded once you move the storage domain to maintenance.  did you do so in the original RHEV environment? What was the version of this environment?
If you didn't deactivate the domain in the first environment and then tried to attach it to the DR environment, the existence of the VMs in the domain depends on the OVFs upload that was supposed to be done by the first engine, which is being done every 60 minutes as explained, so if you've created those VMs and immediately destroyed the setup, those VMs probably won't be available for you in the DR environment.

Thank you for the response.

I went thru the steps 1-9, and when I get to step 10 there is no import vms or import templates sub-tabs.  I am including the vdsm.log from the host.  Also, when I do a lvs on the host, I can see the disks that reside in the imported SD, one is 30gb and the other is 40gb.  The storage domain I am importing is called iSCSI.

Hi

Please check below link for info, ovirt version should be 3.5
http://www.ovirt.org/Features/ImportStorageDomain

please be aware to step 10 under "Work flow for Import block Storage Domain - UI flow"

In case it is not working, please add exact steps and engine/vdsm logs so we will be able to check

I am trying to test failing over to a DR site using the storage domain import.  The DR site shows that it imported the iscsi storage domain, and activates it in the datacenter, but none of the vm’s or anything shows up.  What am I missing.

thanks
