[ovirt-users] Re: Import VM from ovirt-exported ova

[David Paning]

Ammending my post:
i tried to extract the ova file, but this fails like this:

# tar xvf VM0001.ova 
vm.ovf
3223a5b9-275f-4ecc-a221-795f675e667e
tar: Unexpected EOF in archive
tar: rmtlseek not stopped at a record boundary
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now

The result still is:
# ls -al
total 20064272
drwxr-xr-x.  2 vdsm kvm 4096 Jun 22 20:52 .
dr-xr-xr-x. 21 root root4096 Jun 22 20:45 ..
-rw---.  1 root root 10272886272 Jun 22 20:52 
3223a5b9-275f-4ecc-a221-795f675e667e
-rw-r--r--.  1 vdsm kvm  10272899072 Jun 21 21:13 VM0001.ova
-rw-r--r--.  1 root root   11469 May 30 19:07 vm.ovf

Disk space is sufficient, with double the capacity of the uncompressed VM 
size...

It starts to turn into a bit of a nightmare:
1) Importing the VM from OVA fails like described above
2) Attempting to import the "Export"-storage domain of the previous oVirt 
4.3.3.1 installation where i had exportet the VM to failed, as tthere is no 
storage domain recognized 
3) Attempting to import the iSCSI-based "Data"-domain of that same previous 
cluster fails, due to the folloing error:
"Error while executing action: Cannot add Storage. The Storage Domain name is 
already in use."
 
The iSCSI-LUN is not connected to any other initiator.
The hosts which belonged to the former oVirt cluster are erased or offline...

As i still have all the sSCSI-LUNs, is there any option left to get hold of 
that VirtualMachine?

It's not just this machine, but also wondering how to prepare for the next time 
i have to migrate the cluster... 

Any suggestion on how to proceed best is highly welcome ;-)

[ovirt-users] Import VM from ovirt-exported ova

[david . paning]

Hello,

i installed a new oVirt 4.3.4 from scratch and am attempting to restore the VMs 
which ran perfectly fine on my last oVirt 4.2.8, where i exported the VM to the 
export domain and also as an OVA file.
Importing the export domain fails, which i plan to debug later.
But importing the OVA file via the Administration Portal also fails with

Error ID: 1153
Message: Failed to import the VM to Data Center, Cluster.

The VM name is still recognised by the import routine, which tells me the file 
is readable...

Now my questions: 
Is there any option to try the same from CLI, hoping to get better clues for 
what is going on?
Are there specific log options which could give some clues?
Would it be better in general to import the VM from an export-storage domain 
instead of using a OVA export?

Any hint would highly appreciated.

Best
