Restore steps destory OvirtSimpleBackupVm image disks about ovirt_simple_backup

[zipurman]

Reboot the SimpleBackupVM and try the restore again. Note: I have not tested SimpleBackup on newer versions of oVirt and I no longer have an oVirt Environment to test.

[nzncngz]

Ovirt engine version is 4.3.5
SimpleBackupVM couldn't reboot because SimpleBackupVM is delete when Ziparman project has restoring steps.
My SimpleBackupVM couldn't reboot because it hasn't any disk.
Also, the backup operation was successful on the same ovirt. An error occurs while restoring.

Go back through the setup instructions. There is no way that a restore should erase the simplebackup vm. Never had anyone do that before ;)

Hi again,
Restore configuration

I notice you already have a disk with that restore name. Try using a different name for your restore and your new vm.

[nzncngz]

Hi,
Sorry I accidentally attached that file.
restore_vm8 disks only one on Ovirt.(ID a9afed7c-490f-4fff-8312-a13e1b951a95)
It gives the smae error in vms different name.
OvirtSimpleBackup detach self disk.

New vm not connected restores disk.

When restore vm was started it failed;
vm1:
Cannot run VM without at least one bootable disk.
Alternatives:

• Create a disk for this VM, and rerun the VM.
• Change the boot sequence using the Edit VM command (Boot Option Sub-Tab).
• Use the 'Run Once' command to select a different boot option and rerun the VM.

All looks to be fine so I dont know what the issue is. I am away for the next 8 days, so I can have a closer look when I return. Never heard of this issue before.

[nzncngz]

Thanks.

I had 2 problems.
One of the problems was shared in the ovirt-user group by Robin Gaudreau

Hi,
We want to use a completely free backup solution.

[zipurman]

Hey Thanks, I was away last week, sorry for the late reply. Glad to see someone is making something of it 😉 It’s hard to support as I don’t use oVirt at all anymore. How are things with you? Still using oVirt?

nzncngz,

If you want me to figure it out, I would need to have ssh access to your environment. I realize that may not be okay with you, but without that I cant see what is wrong and what needs to be fixed. You can send me any login info to [email protected] if you'd like me to have a look.

[nzncngz]

Hi sir,
Thanks for reply.I'm still at the same stage in Ovirt.Your project is quite beautiful.
Being free is also awesome.

[zipurman]

This was due to the simpleBackupVM’s primary disk not being tagged as bootable. Simply changed the bootable setting to on and all worked as expected.
