[ovirt-users] Hosted engine already imported

[Jamie Lawrence]

Does anyone know the answer to the specific question below?  I'm not asking for workarounds to try;  that approach has repeatedly gone nowhere and time is becoming an issue for me. If I'm on the wrong track, I'd be happy to hear that, too. (Well, not happy, but that would at least be progress.)

I’m wondering if I can do this a different way. Since it is already imported, I can create VMs, and the only other warning I’m getting in the logs is unrelated, I’m thinking that the problem here is that something didn’t get properly set in the DB, and I should be able to fix that manually.

In looking at the code (https://github.com/oVirt/ovirt-engine/blob/master/backend/manager/modules/bll/src/main/java/org/ovirt/engine/core/bll/storage/domain/ImportHostedEngineStorageDomainCommand.java), it to my (not very deep) read that the setSucceeded call failed, even though AttachStorageDomainToPool worked.

     if (getSucceeded()) {
           AttachStorageDomainToPoolParameters attachSdParams =
                   new AttachStorageDomainToPoolParameters(
                           addSdParams.getStorageDomainId(),
                           addSdParams.getStoragePoolId());
           setSucceeded(getBackend().runInternalAction(
                   VdcActionType.AttachStorageDomainToPool,
                   attachSdParams,
                   getContext()).getSucceeded());
       }

       setActionReturnValue(heStorageDomain);

Is there a way to call setSucceeded without hacking together a custom utility? Not seeing it in vdsClient --help, which doesn’t surprise me. In looking over the stored procedures, I’m also not finding a likely candidate, but that is probably because there are so many that I’m just missing it.

Does anyone know what the relevant SP is, or in some other way clue me in on the right direction here?  

I realize this is not supposed to be the way to do things. But I’m not finding a better solution, and attempting to find a “right” way via questions to this isn’t working either. And of course I take full responsibility when Ovirt kills my pets and drinks all my liquor.
