Struggling with bugs and issues on OVA export/import (my clear favorite otherwise, especially when moving VMs between different types of hypervisors), I've tried pretty much everything else, too. Export domains are deprecated and require quite a bit of manual handling. Unfortunately the

Thanks for diving into that mess first, because it allowed me to understand what I had done as well... In my case the issue was a VM moved from 4.3 to 4.4 seemed to be silently upgraded from "default" (whatever was default on 4.3) to "Q35", which seems to be the new default of 4.4. But that

Interesting I’ve not hit that issue myself. I’d think it must somehow be related to getting the event status. Is it happening to the same vms every time? Is there anything different about the vm names or anything that would set them apart from the others that work? On Sun, Aug 30, 2020 at 11:56

OK, I ve run the backup three times . I still have two machines, where it still fails on TASK [Wait for export] I think the Problem is not the timeout, in oVirt engine the export has already finished : " Exporting VM VMName as an OVA to /home/backup/in_progress/VMName.ova on Host kvm360" But

You should be able to fix by increasing the timeout variable in main.yml. I think the default is pretty low around @ 600 seconds (10 minutes). I have mine set for a few hours since I’m dealing with large vms. I’d also increase poll interval as well so it’s not checking for completion every 10
