Thanks for letting me know, I suspected that might be the case. I’ll make a note to fix that in the playbook On Mon, Aug 31, 2020 at 3:57 AM Stefan Wolf wrote: > I think, I found the problem. > > > > It is case sensitive. For the export it is NOT case sensitive but for the > step "wait for

I think, I found the problem. It is case sensitive. For the export it is NOT case sensitive but for the step "wait for export" it is. I ve changed it and now it seems to be working ___ Users mailing list -- users@ovirt.org To unsubscribe send an email

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

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

Also if you look at the blog post linked on github page it has info about increasing the ansible timeout on ovirt engine machine. This will be necessary when dealing with large vms that take over 2 hours to export On Sun, Aug 30, 2020 at 8:52 AM Jayme wrote: > You should be able to fix by

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

Hello, >https://github.com/silverorange/ovirt_ansible_backup I am also still using 4.3. In my opinion this is by far the best and easiest solution for disaster recovery. No need to install an appliance, and if there is a need to recover, you can import the ova in every hypervisor - no

Probably the easiest way is to export the VM as OVA. The OVA format is a single file which includes the entire VM image along with the config. You can import it back into oVirt easily as well. You can do this from the GUI on a running VM and export to OVA without bringing the VM down. The export
