[ovirt-users] Re: VM import doesn't see VMs on storage
I did deactivated and detached storage domain form the DC1 first. Turned out the meta file for these disks had DISKTYPE=1 After changing it to DISKTYPE=DATA I was able to import disks. Not sure why was that, but changing that one line just solved my problem -- Dmitry Filonov Linux Administrator SBGrid Core | Harvard Medical School 250 Longwood Ave, SGM-114 Boston, MA 02115 On Tue, Jun 4, 2019 at 12:56 PM Eyal Shenitzky wrote: > Hi Dmitry, > > Those VMs has more disks on different SD as well? > Did you deactivated and detached the SD as needed? > > Try to run manually the OVF update for this specific storage domain. > > > > On Tue, Jun 4, 2019 at 12:23 AM Dmitry Filonov < > filo...@hkl.hms.harvard.edu> wrote: > >> Correction.

Hi Dmitry, Those VMs has more disks on different SD as well? Did you deactivated and detached the SD as needed? Try to run manually the OVF update for this specific storage domain.

Correction. At least one (might be more or even all) of the machines that don't show up under VM import tab was based on Blank template. So that shouldn't be an issue. Has to be something else that prevent machines from being "importable". At least two machines were pinned to a specific host in the DC1. Can that be the issue? Seems unlikely, but am running out of ideas here :( Fil -- Dmitry Filonov Linux Administrator SBGrid Core | Harvard Medical School 250 Longwood Ave, SGM-114 Boston, MA 02115 On Mon, Jun 3, 2019 at 10:46 AM Dmitry Filonov wrote: > Hi, > I have 2 independent oVirt datacenters.
