Re: [ovirt-users] Import OVA or OVF file from other oVirt - oVirt 4.x

We do plan to expose the RO file system via API.
This is not yet scoped, but I hope to get it in within the year.

yes can cause corruption, but i don't want to modify file system 
externally, i just want to read it and then copy to the production host 
by agent/scp or something

This is usually done by a agent in the VM and not externally, since 
changing the file system externally can cause corruption.

When you make a full restore you have a whole new VM, but what if
you just need  just one directory? "/etc/puppet/environments" for
example

So there is where granular backup works, because if you don't have
that option you will have to restore the whole VM, copy that
directory, then delete the restored VM

I don't know if my english is good enough to explain perfectly,
but do you understand my point?

I understand, you mean a single file restore use case.
This is usually done by a agent in the VM and not externally, since
changing the file system externally can cause corruption.

Re: [ovirt-users] Import OVA or OVF file from other oVirt - oVirt 4.x

[Victor Jose Acosta]

Ok ok

When you make a full restore you have a whole new VM, but what if you 
just need  just one directory? "/etc/puppet/environments" for example


So there is where granular backup works, because if you don't have that 
option you will have to restore the whole VM, copy that directory, then 
delete the restored VM


I don't know if my english is good enough to explain perfectly, but do 
you understand my point?

Re: [ovirt-users] Import OVA or OVF file from other oVirt - oVirt 4.x

[Yaniv Dary]

I can suggest waiting for 4.1 for this as we are adding download ability as
well.
This will allow you at first to backup and restore base images and later on
in 4.1.z uploading and downloading snapshots.

I believe that both full and granular restore can be done via the API as we
support offset uploads, can you give more details on the different between
these options?

Re: [ovirt-users] Import OVA or OVF file from other oVirt - oVirt 4.x

[Victor Jose Acosta]

Thanks Yaniv, i read about image io streaming after send that email, i 
will use it for my project.


I will explain to you what I'm trying to do:

- I'm creating a software to make full backup and restore of VMs using 
python and the backup/restore api


- The main difference is, i want to have the option to make a full 
restore or granular restore.


- The backup process is:

- Create snapshot off the vm

- Mount snapshot disk to a "backup vm"

- Identify device name of that disk, this means "/dev/vdc" and so on.

- Create a qcow2 image from disk

- Get vm configuration in a xml file

- Create a compressed file from both files

- Detach disk from backup vm

- Delete the snapshot

- The full recovery process is:

- Upload the qcow2 files throw image io api

- Create a new vm based on the xml file

- The granular recover process is:

- Mount the qcow2 image to as a loop device

- Copy files

I will create a kind of new format, this "new format" will be a .tgz 
file with:


- qcow2 images, ordered by number, example:

- 00-vm.qcow2

- 01-vm.qcow2

- the vm xml file

I working on this a few days ago, so if you are interested it will be a 
pleasure to me provide a solution to the community.


I will share this project when it's works at least the full 
backup/restore function


I love oVirt but the my main problem is create backup and share those 
VMs between DataCenters


So i decided to create a software to make oVirt even more powerful

About me: I'm not a developer, so be patient, I'm a sysadmin, actually a 
Red Hat Certified Engineer and VMWare Certified Associate

With this API you will be able to upload and download VMs disks and

We are also planning to add OVA download and upload in one of the next

Until this is done we will not be removing the export domain.

Re: [ovirt-users] Import OVA or OVF file from other oVirt - oVirt 4.x

[Yaniv Dary]

It is planned to be replaced with the image IO streaming API.
With this API you will be able to upload and download VMs disks and
snapshots.
We are also planning to add OVA download and upload in one of the next
releases.
Until this is done we will not be removing the export domain.
