Description Daniel Erez 2018-01-29 11:05:38 UTC

"10.6.7. Uploading and Downloading a Disk Image to a Storage Domain"

Current:
"Virtual disk image types must be either QCOW2 or Raw. Disks created from a QCOW2 disk image cannot be shareable, and the QCOW2 disk image file must not have a backing file."

In Addition:
Uploading an image with qcow2 compat 1.1 is unsupported for storage format type lower than V4. Also, the image must be aligned to 512-byte sectors, i.e. the size of the image must be a multiple of 512 bytes.

Please provide also a command to "verify" if qcow2 image is valid for upload (eg. qemu-img info). Thx.

Is this still true?
I thought we solved uploading snapshot?

We don't support uploading snapshots from the WebAdmin, only using the API.

This bug has low overall severity and is not going to be further verified by QE. If you believe special care is required, feel free to properly align relevant severity, flags and keywords to raise PM_Score or use one of the Bumps ('PrioBumpField', 'PrioBumpGSS', 'PrioBumpPM', 'PrioBumpQA') in Keywords to raise it's PM_Score above verification threashold (1000).

Comment 6 Sandro Bonazzola 2023-08-03 07:14:53 UTC

No updates in the last 5 years, closing as won't fix.
If still relevant please open an issue on https://github.com/oVirt/ovirt-site/issues
