oVirt gerrit 110510 0 master MERGED core: Raise a failure when the conversion fails 2021-01-12 16:23:44 UTC

Description nijin ashok 2020-07-08 12:16:31 UTC
Description of problem:

If an OVA export/import failed during "qemu-img convert" phase, the RHV-M shows the successful status even though the disk copy operation is failed. This was observed in bug 1813028 and bug 1748879.

The issue can also be reproducible if we kill the "qemu-img" process while converting the OVA. The reproducer steps in the above bug can also be used to reproduce the bug.

The ova ansible logs show that the operation was failed.

However, the engine logs show a successful message.

Exporting VM myagent as an OVA to /var/tmp/myagent.ova on Host vm250-142.example.com
===

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

ovirt-engine-4.3.10.3-0.2.el7.noarch

How reproducible:

100%

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Export/import an OVA from RHV-M.
2. Kill the "qemu-img convert" process duing the operation.
3. Check the output of manager event logs. It will be showing a successful message to the user.

Actual results:

RHV-M shows successful operation if OVA export/import failed during "qemu-img convert" phase 

Expected results:

The user will only realize that the operation has failed once they boot the VM. If there is an error during the disk copy operation of the disk, then the engine should mark the whole OVA operation has failed.

Verification scenario:
1. Export VM as OVA
2. Kill qemu-img convert process.
3. Verify operation failed with the next event in WebAdmin: 
"export:
Failed Exporting VM vm_name as an OVA to /home/rhv_ova/vm_name.ova on Host hostname"
4. Import OVA
5. Kill qemu-img conver process.
4. Verify operation faled with the next event:
"Failed Importing VM vm_name to Cluster Default"
