    Hi,

    I noticed that OVF_STORE volumes are not generated periodically as
    expected [1].
    It seems like the OVF_STORE volumes are only generated when the
    Storage Domain is detached from Engine, which is not feasible if
    we want to keep the VMs running.

    1) Is there any way to force the OVF_STORE volume creation without
    detaching the Storage Domain?

    This would be very usefull for disaster recovery, since Storage
    Domains can be backed up and VM can be reimported.
    But if the OVF_STORE volumes are not updated, critical information
    like the ID of the VM active snapshot will get lost.
    If the VM is restored with a previous snapshot (not the last one),
    all information written after the last snapshot known by the
    OVF_STORE will get lost.

    2) On the other hand, the only way I know to re-read the OVF_STORE
    content with the VM information contained in a Storage Domain, is
    by detaching and re-attaching it.
    I wonder if there is also any way to re-read the OVF_STORE?

    [1] : This can be verified very easily by changing a running VM
    properties (change its name or create a snapshot), copying the
    whole storage domain and importing it into another Engine
    (POOL_UID and CHECKSUM must be removed from metadata in order to
    be able to attach to another Datacenter).

    PS: I'm on 3.6 RC. 1.
