Well I think I have a rather "classical" environment : This is the test setup I created (from scratch) in order to simulate future migrations (which will be used to migrate our hundreds of vm in production)
On one side, I have a x86_64 centos7.2+KVM hosting one VM with 2 iscsi disks : 1 LVM block device /dev/mapper/vg_01-lv_sys, using virtio 1 block device /dev/sdc, using virtio on the other side, I have a x86_64 centos 7.2 oVirt cluster (2 hosts, same hardware as KVM hosts) installed with 4.0.3 oVirt (hosts and engine) fully upgraded to 4.0.4RC1 (hosts and engine) Target would be oVirt iscsi Data Domain disk (which is irrelevant because the problem I'm describing arises before selecting oVirt target) I'm using the GUI to test the native import capabilities of oVirt "Import VM" When selecting KVM import, putting correct URL data (using either tcp or ssh transport), I get a list of VM machines running in the KVM cluster (for this exemple, only the one VM described above), but the disk count is always 0. Which makes it impossible to import the VM. I should add that I made the same VM import using "local hard drives" (ie. local raw file) and it works as expected, I can see one or multiple disks and import them easily to oVirt. The problem seems to manifest itself only when importing disks using block devices directly. Do you need more information from me, or make more tests? thanks a lot, nelson ----- Original Message ----- From: "Shahar Havivi" <shav...@redhat.com> To: "Nelson Lameiras" <nelson.lamei...@lyra-network.com>, "Nisim Simsolo" <nsims...@redhat.com> Cc: users@ovirt.org Sent: Sunday, September 18, 2016 9:24:13 AM Subject: Re: [ovirt-users] can't import vm from KVM host On 16.09.16 10:14, Nelson Lameiras wrote: > I upgraded to oVirt 4.0.4 RC1 to test this issue (engine and hosts) and I > still have the same problem. > > Migration GUI still shows zero disks when the source VM had block disk > devices. Yes... I was verify and merged to 4.0.4 Is your source and target block device (tested as well...) What else can you tell us about your environment?
