files hash sums will be checked. But libguestfs requires the full path to the disk to be handled, and it’s not integrated with ovirt infrastructure. And here we face with a task of full disk image filenames definition.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I assume you are using before_vm_start? This will catch the VM definitions, as passed by the engine, and allow you to reassemble the domxml. You can get the disk path from the domxml directly, bypassing the engine APIs completely. <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">The problem however, if you are doing this on block storage, is that the right LV will not be prepared for use by vdsm at this point, so you'll have to make it accessible manually, then disable access and let vdsm do it's job. Much easier
with NFS/Gluster of course.<o:p></o:p></p>
