Re: [ovirt-users] importing existing storage domain

[Charles Kozler]

I did read that but that doc doesnt seem to have any real actionable items.
It seems more like a design spec rather than a walkthrough / README or
HOWTO on how to recover from a backed up storage domain

I tried 'An import screen for NFS Storage Domain' by doing the following :

system -> "storage tab" -> import existing domain

Below you can see the CLI of the backed up domain

[root@node01 t]# ll
total 4
drwxr-xr-x. 5 vdsm kvm 4096 Dec  8 10:05
c2ce3235-1e09-46b6-9dcd-3fffd6238879
-rwxr-xr-x. 1 vdsm kvm0 Feb  1 23:14 __DIRECT_IO_TEST__
[root@njsevcnp01 t]# du -sch ./* | grep G
29G ./c2ce3235-1e09-46b6-9dcd-3fffd6238879
29G total


and this is the result I received (before/after) http://imgur.com/a/UvGmr

Re: [ovirt-users] importing existing storage domain

Hi,

Did you try to import the data domain as an existing one to the DC [1]?

[ovirt-users] importing existing storage domain

[Charles Kozler]

Say I have backed up a storage domain to another NFS. I now want to restore
that backup. What would be the best method to restore all the disk images
on that domain? I have tried export domains and importing existing domains
but every time it says they are not empty and they "may be from somewhere
else". They are in fact from somewhere else but that is somewhat the point
of the exercise

I am attempting to simulate a restore-from-backup (basically just an rsync
of the entire storage domain to an offsite location) and its not going as
planned. I have all the VM images and can ensure they are all in tact but
ovirt refuses to acknowledge it

I have also tried setting up a new storage domain and then copying the
backup images directory to the new images directory under the newly
established storage domain. ovirt sees the used space go down but does not
reference / acknowledge / view any of the data actually there unless it
creates it itself

How can I restore an rsync backup of a storage domain? I am feeling like
there isnt a way to readily do it so if not, how can I restore these backed
up images?

What version of oVirt did create this storage domain? and what version
are you using to import it?
I have imported NFS storage domains multiple times and didn't have
problems. oVirt-3.5 or higher should be able to import a storage domain.

But to add to that I've tried 3.5 to 3.5 and I received the same issue

Can you send VDSM and engine logs ?
