Subject: [Users] Clone from Snapshot
Hi,
I'm trying to clone a VM from snapshot with the below code. but it is not
cloning..
org.ovirt.engine.sdk.decorators.VM vm2 = api.getVMs().get(testVM);
VM cloneVM = new VM();
cloneVM.setName(MyClonedViaAPI);
VMSnapshot snap3 = new VMSnapshot(null);
snap3 =
vm2.getSnapshots().get(UUID.fromString(7799ce3f-a007-415a-84c5-df323e8f440d));
Action act = new Action();
act.setClone(true);
act.setVm(cloneVM);
snap3.restore(act);
Actually, my original goal is to Clone VM directly from another VM instead of
cloning from snapshot.
Can you help me?
Just pasting here code given by Juan H for Java SDK to perform that :
You will need something like this:
// Find the original VM:
VM vm = api.getVMs().get(myvm);
// Find the cluster where the cloned VM will be created:
Cluster cluster = vm.getCluster();
// Populate the parameters to create the snapshot:
Snapshot snapshot = new Snapshot();
snapshot.setDescription(My snapshot);
// Send the request to create the snapshot. Note that you need the
// returned snapshot object in order to have the id assigned to
// that snapshot by the system.
snapshot = vm.getSnapshots().add(snapshot);
String id = snapshot.getId();
UUID uuid = UUID.fromString(id);
// Wait till the snapshot creation is completed:
for ( {
snapshot = vm.getSnapshots().get(uuid);
if (!locked.equals(snapshot.getSnapshotStatus())) {
break;
}
Thread.sleep(1 * 1000);
}
// Populate the parameters to create the cloned VM:
VM clone = new VM(null);
clone.setName(myclone);
clone.setCluster(cluster);
Snapshots snapsshots = new Snapshots();
snapsshots.getSnapshots().add(snapshot);
clone.setSnapshots(snapsshots);
// Send the request to create the cloned VM:
api.getVMs().add(clone);

I'm wondering if it's because of this that SD has to be put in maintenance. Any chance to have the SD resize without putting it offline, for example doing pvresize on the SPM node and then pvscan on every other host involved? I'm sure there are use cases where this is would be of great convenience. Well, I'm back on this. First of all, Elad, your procedure works indeed. Moreover, I tried this sequence: 1) Expand the volume using storage specific tools 2) on the SPM host execute pvresize /path/of/the/physical/volume # (no need to specify the size, it takes the full volume space) 3) (just to be sure) on every other host involved execute pvscan 4) the SD is shown with correct, updated, informations.

I'm using an iSCSI based Storage Domain and I'm trying to understand which is the correct way to extend it's size some time after it's creation. Please consider the following steps: 1) Using storage specific tools create a new volume on iSCSI storage (e.g. 130.0 GiB) 2) in oVirt webadmin: Storage - New Domain , select the previously created storage (130 GB), OK, after some time it's online: Size: 129 GB ; Available: 125 GB ; Used: 4 GB 3) Use according to your needs (even noop is OK) 4) Using storage specific tools expand the new volume (e.g. 20.0 GiB more, now it says 150.0GiB) 5) in webadmin: Storage, click on the domain, Edit. Looking at LunsTargets , now it correctly sees 150GB BUT on the Storage tab it continues to be seen with Size: 129 GB ; Available: 125 GB ; Used: 4 GB Do you think it is possible to make oVirt aware of the new available storage space? Am I missing something obvious? My setup is oVirt 3.4.0 RC2 with fully patched CentOS 6.5 hosts.

First: Thanks for the fast answer! Second: I decided that this is a much too painful hack into ovirt regarding maintainability, thus I will let ovirt log into files like it does already and pipe those into syslog. But it would be cool if you could work towards integrating this feature into ovirt in the future, maybe for 3.5 or 4.0. So I created an RFE at: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1078738 I think many large data centers could use this feature as most people tend to have centralized logging already.

Hi, and thanks for pointing this out. Maybe my BZ at: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1078738 could suffice as a first subtask in solving this issue by introducing a syslog handler module shipped by ovirt for jboss 7.1 and maybe additionally put another couple of log4j.xml into /etc/ovirt-engine/engine.conf[.d/*.conf] for the purpose of logging. the log4j.xmls are better to edit at least.

Is there no way to make the template with the same type of disk (thinly provisioned)?? on NFS - it doesn't matter. on block storage - i don't remember why. maybe federico remembers. It was for performance reasons since on block it would result in a qcow2 image. We wanted the access to the template to be as fast as possible. The same question was brought up few months ago when we discussed importing images from glance as templates. Anyway in that case we decided (for simplicity) to allow the import as template also for qcow2 images. -- Federico ___ Users mailing list Users@ovirt.org http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users
