GitHub user Jayd603 edited a comment on the discussion: Restoring volume snapshots from secondary storage in new CS cluster
@prashanthr2 ...and now that I have a working primary storage with all my volume snapshots to import. The Tools > Import/Export Instances or Import Data Volumes does not work. It does not display any of the snapshots that are on the share. So your trick to import that way seemingly will not work. These are not qcow2 images in a root directory, this is a byte for byte copy of the secondary storage in another cluster where all the scheduled volume snapshots reside. So it would need to scan /snapshots/* .. the snapshots created by cloudstack are also in UUID format with no file extension. I attempted to import by typing the path of the uuid snapshot: ```Incompatible Storage. Import Source is: shared. Storage Type in service offering is: local``` I mean I want to create an instance from the snapshot in shared storage on a local disk. I will try a shared offering - maybe I can migrate it after adding it. Update: It still would not work. What did work was copying the snapshot file to the local disk storage pool and then importing.
