[ovirt-users] [HELP] unmapping a deleted storage domain triggers crash ovirt

Tue Nov 8 15:42:15 UTC 2016

Hello people,

something's not right in my ovirt infrastructure.
I currently have two different ovirt installation:
Ovirt3: 7 hosts linked to Compellent iscsi storage running ovirt 3.5.6
Ovirt4: 4 hosts linked to (same) Compellent iscsi storage running ovirt 4.0.4

I'm currently moving my guests from ovirt3 to ovirt4.
Since iscsi storage is linked to both installations, my high level approach is:

1)      Shutdown VM in ovirt3.

2)      Maintenance + detach + remove VM storage in ovirt3

3)      Change LUN mapping via iscsi storage manager from ovirt3 to ovirt4

4)      Import storage in ovirt4

5)      Import VM in ovirt4

6)      Run and cheers with high grade liquor. GOTO step 1 for different VM.

Now, as soon as I perform step 3 (remove mappings from LUN), ovirt3 goes crazy and eventually forces me to reboot all hosts one by one.
I tried different low level approaches to unmap LUN mpath'ed from hosts with inconsistent results.
A notable error log extract is:

I really need your help to sort this out as I'm actually blocked in my task.

Why mapping changes triggers ovirt crash on a storage which ovirt should not care about?
Thanks
