Re: [ovirt-users] Permissions to Import VMs
I did create a bug report and it was closed with the explanation that UserVmManager role is not assigned because I'm using the Administration portal... (???). What other portal do I use? Import/Export is Admin type operation. See here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1451501 Very simple steps to test it: - Create a local user called LocalUserA - Grant permissions to create VMs in DEV1 cluster and Import/Export VMs: LocalUserA -> [PowerUserRole] -> DEV1 (Cluster) LocalUserA -> [PowerUserRole] -> SAN (Storage Data Master) LocalUserA -> [VmImporterExporter] -> DEV1 (Cluster) LocalUserA -> [VmImporterExporter] -> SAN (Storage Data Master) LocalUserA -> [VmImporterExporter] -> SD-Export (Storage Export type) - Login to the Administration Portal as LocalUserA@internal - Create a VM, Export the VM, Import the VM Role UserVmManager is not set for the imported VM. User LocalUserA can not even boot up the VM due to insufficient permissions. How do I setup LocalUserA so it can import VMs and work with them?

[ovirt-users] Permissions to Import VMs
Hi, I have a group of local users with permissions to create VMs, templates, and VMs from templates. They are allowed to work only in one of the clusters in the datacenter. Now I want one of the local users to be able to import VMs and convert them into templates and I just can't find the recipe for that. The group has these permissions: LocalUsersGroup -> [PowerUserRole] -> DEV1 (Cluster) LocalUsersGroup -> [PowerUserRole] -> SAN (Storage) LocalUsersGroup -> [TemplateCreator] -> OFFICE (Datacenter) LocalUserA is part of LocalUsersGroup and should be able to: - Import a VM - Convert the VM to a template for everyone to use - Delete the VM I tried this: LocalUserA -> [VmImporterExporter] -> System LocalUserA can now import VMs and convert them to templates but it can't delete the imported VMs. For some reason [UserVmManager] role is not assigned to LocalUserA on the VMs that were imported. Before I start messing around I'd appreciate somebody's else opinion on how this should be done.

[ovirt-users] How to re-initialize storage?
Hi, I inherited a small oVirt cluster with 3 nodes using iSCSI storage. The LUNs used by the oVirt nodes were also accessible by some VMware nodes. By mistake an action was started on VMware to initialize and start using the same LUNs, which it happily did. This rendered the storage no longer usable by oVirt nodes. All VMs went down, their image files no longer accessible, the whole cluster became unusable without access to the shared storage. We have recovered from backups and moved the VMs to another cluster and now I want to get this oVirt cluster back up and running. I'm not an oVirt expert so everything I tried was through the web interface and everything failed because storage is not accessible. I can't remove VMs, I can't remove nodes, I can't remove the storage domain. What is the right approach to destroy the cluster and rebuild it and re-initialize the storage? Even better if I can just remove all VMs from the inventory and somehow tell it to make the storage LUNs usable again? Any help is highly appreciated?
