  • Unable to import storage domain in RHEV cluster

    Posted on

    3 node RHEV- cluster running RHEV Hypervisor - 7.1 - 20150827.1.el7ev, RHEV-M running Red Hat Enterprise Virtualisation Manager Version: 3.5.5-0.1.el6ev and Data/NFS share was /export/vmdata

    Both the RHEV cluster and RHEV-M manager lost power suddenly and powered down. On restart the storage domain was not able to be imported into the cluster.

    The following was noted in the /var/log/ovirt-engine/engine.log

    Re-ran the import of the storage domain successfully.
