Description Ori Gofen 2014-08-24 12:30:16 UTC
Description of problem:

When having an object (like vm's or templates) which contains data on several domains and one of the domains crashes for some reason.
The desired behavior is having the recovered data to be well merged at the original base object,for example:

lets say I have a template with 2Xdisks on two different domains.
when detaching one of the domains,the template will be updated and contain only one disk(of the remained domain) and that's good,but when attaching back the detached domain and register the templates,we expect to see our template updated back to contain its two original disks.

Right now oVirt blocks this operation with CDA.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
rc1

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Have a template with two disks on two different domains(make sure all domains are updated with the newest OvfStoreFile)
2.detach one of the domains
3.attach the domain back and register the template.

Actual results:
oVirt blocks the operation with CDA

Expected results:
A successful "data merge" recovery operation

Additional info:
This gap should be documented at import domain's documentation. http://www.ovirt.org/Features/ImportStorageDomain 
haven't found it there.

Maor,
Would this RFE also be relevant to VMs with multiple disks that reside on different storage domains. So that we will be able "merging" all the disks on one domain, and then import it to another RHEV environment and recover the VM from a single Storage Domain?

Registering VMs with multiple disks that reside on different Storage Domains should be supported *while* all the Storage Domains exists in the Data Center and they are active.

This RFE is related to registering a VM/Template which already exists in the setup and have partial disks.
for example, register a VM if we have only one domain although the original VM had several disks on several Storage Domains
