I have a fairly large OVA (~200GB) that was exported from oVirt4.3.5. I'm
trying to import it into a new cluster, also oVirt4.3.5. The import starts fine
but fails again and again.
Everything I can find online appears to be outdated, mentioning incorrect log
file locations and saying virt-v2v does the import.
On the engine in /var/log/ovirt-engine/engine.log I can see where it is doing
the CreateImageVDSCommand, then a few outputs concerning adding the disk, which
end with USER_ADD_DISK_TO_VM_FINISHED_SUCCESS, then the ansible command:

Then nothing about the import until:
2019-08-20 16:11:08,859-04 INFO

I've found the import logs on the engine, in /var/log/ovirt-engine/ova, but the
ovirt-import-ova-ansible*.logs for the imports of concern only contain:
2019-08-20 19:59:48,799 p=44701 u=ovirt | Using
/usr/share/ovirt-engine/playbooks/ansible.cfg as config file

Watching the host selected for the import, I can see the qemu-img convert
process running, but then the engine frees the lock on the VM and reports the
import as having failed. However, the qemu-img process continues to run on the
host. I don't know where else to look to try and find out what's going on and I
cannot see anything that says why the import failed.
Since the qemu-img process on the host is still running after the engine log
shows the lock has been freed and import failed, I'm guessing what's happening
is on the engine side.
Looking at the time between the start of the ansible command and when the lock
is freed it is consistently around 30 minutes.
# first try
2019-08-20 15:40:38,653-04 ansible command start
2019-08-20 16:11:08,859-04 lock freed
31 minutes
# second try
2019-08-20 19:59:48,463-04 ansible command start
2019-08-20 20:30:21,697-04 lock freed
30 minutes, 33 seconds
# third try
2019-08-21 09:16:42,706-04 ansible command start
2019-08-21 09:46:47,103-04 lock freed
30 minutes, 45 seconds
With that in mind, I took a look at the available configuration keys from
engine-config --list. After getting each the only one set to ~30 minutes and
looks like it could be the problem was SSHInactivityHardTimeoutSeconds (set to
1800 seconds). I set it to 3600 and tried the import again, but it still failed
at ~30 minutes, so that's apparently not the correct key.
Also, just FYI, I also tried to import the ova using virt-v2v, but that fails
immediately:
virt-v2v: error: expecting XML expression to return an integer (expression:
rasd:Parent/text(), matching string: 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000)
If reporting bugs, run virt-v2v with debugging enabled and include the
complete output:
virt-v2v -v -x [...]
Does virt-v2v not support OVAs created by the oVirt 'export to ova' option?
So my main question is, Is there a timeout for VM imports through the engine
web UI?
And if so, is if configurable?
Thanks in advance.
