Disk alias are mandatory on Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager in order to run virtual machines, but they are not mandatory in the OVF format. Now, aliases are auto-generatesd for disks imported from an OVF that does not contain aliases, so virtual machines imported from other sources can successfully run on Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager.

This appears to be a bug in ovirt-engine. DiskImageByDiskAliasComparator does not handle the case where either of the disks it is passed do not have an alias. This would appear to be a regression introduced by upstream patch 80583b2c4c76f390f87102bf514ec41eca6dd153. As RHEV must continue to be able to import guests created before this attribute was added, I'm moving this to RHEV. By now, there are several flows in oVirt/RHEV-M engine that implicitly assume that disk alias is not null. IMHO, the correct approach would not be to support such disk in the said comperator, but to add a default alias (e.g., VmName_Disk1) to the imported vm if it did not have the alias. temp workaround is to add alias to the ovf Posted I38ad9c56f9b97e174807d3fcbe0b3e43355803ee, pending review. This analysis here is not correct. I've manually removed disk aliases from an OVF, and was able to import it, and run the VM. This bug requires further analysis. Geyang, can you add the engine's log(s) please? Geyang, also please share the exact engine build/version Created attachment 650163 [details]
engine's log
RHEVM's build is rhevm3.1 si24.4 Package is rhevm-3.1.0-31.el6ev.noarch Geyang, thanks, but if you have the FULL log (from the begining of the import till this failure), it would be a great help. Created attachment 651738 [details]
full engine's log
Further analysis: If the import is performed with copyCollapse=false and the original OVF lacks diskAliases (e.g., was created with v2v as described by Geyang, was created with RHEV-M 3.0, etc.), the disks in the imported VM will NOT have auto-generated aliases. Technical insight: Take a look at org.ovirt.engine.core.bll.ImportVmCommand.addVmImagesAndSnapshots(). The function starts with if (getParameters().getCopyCollapse()) (line 599 in the current HEAD). The positive branch eventually sets a disk alias, while the negative branch does not. Implication: Once the VM is created without a disk alias, it cannot be run. Running it will result in an NPE, as described by Geyang in comment #1. Workaround: As Itamar suggested in comment #6, editing the OVF and adding a disk alias will solve the issue. AN alternative workaround (and easier, IMHO) is to edit the disks after the VM is improted (via the UI), and add the said aliases. Relationship to bug 880742: Due to bug 880742, setCopyCollapse will frequently be forced to true (wrongfully!), which made this bug hard to reproduce. This may be considered as a mitigating factor, but IMHO, 880742 is a much worse bug from the customer's perspective, especially since it has no work-around. Now that the bug is properly diagnozed and it's scope is understood, I'm reseting all flags (except devel-ack, which I'm giving for adding an auto-generated alias even if copyColapse=false). PM/QA - please ack/nack your respective flags, and suggest which 3.1.z (3.2.0?) version this bug should be solved in. Patch sent upstream: Change-Id I4f03699ece4d20f2d20beb791c3cb1518e39c4d1 http://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/c/9631/ *** Bug 887091 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** Just wondering if DiskImageByDiskAliasComparator.java should also be modified to include the possibility of diskAlias of being null?
In BaseDisk.java, the hashCode and equals methods include logic to handle null values for diskAlias:
186 result = prime * result + ((diskAlias == null) ? 0 : diskAlias.hashCode());
...
206 if (diskAlias == null) {
207 if (other.diskAlias != null)
208 return false;
209 } else if (!diskAlias.equals(other.diskAlias))
210 return false;
Wouldn't it be a good idea for the comparator also do the same - just in case? At the moment if the comparator is passed a Disk with a null diskAlias value (for whatever reason) it will cause a NPE. Or has this already been addressed and I missed it?
Mark - I adressed this approach in comment 5: > By now, there are several flows in oVirt/RHEV-M engine that implicitly > assume that disk alias is not null. > > IMHO, the correct approach would not be to support such disk in the said > comperator, but to add a default alias (e.g., VmName_Disk1) to the imported > vm if it did not have the alias. The comperator could easily be fixed, but that would be just one usecase that would fail. We probably have a dozen or so flows with this assumption, which will be a hell just to map. Merged upstream. *** Bug 887085 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** verified on sf4 reproduced by removing the disk alias from the ovf in the export domain and importing the vm to the setup. we auto generated a disk alias during import.

Description of problem: Guest based on iscsi storage with 2nd disk on local storage cannot be started on rhev after conversion. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): virt-v2v-0.8.9-2.el6.x86_64 Reproduce steps: 1. Have a ESXi5.1 host, and add an iscsi storage to it. 2. Install a guest on ESXi host, make sure install it on iscsi storage. 3. Add a disk to the guest, locate the disk file on ESXi local storage. 4. Run v2v Actual results: 1. Guest cannot be started with following error. 2012-11-02 16:15:15,837 ERROR [org.ovirt.engine.core.vdsbroker.vdsbroker.VdsBrokerCommand] (pool-4-thread-41) [48ddc720] Failed in CreateVDS method, for vds: dell-op780-04.qe.lab.eng.nay.redhat.com; host: 10.66.72.26 2012-11-02 16:15:15,837 ERROR [org.ovirt.engine.core.vdsbroker.VDSCommandBase] (pool-4-thread-41) [48ddc720] Command CreateVDS execution failed.
