Template and VM Import fails from Export directory in RHEV 3.1

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • Template and VM Import fails from Export directory
  • Discovered this issue on multiple instances of Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization 3.1
  • When importing a VM or Template from an NFS share export directory, the import hangs and the Task for the import will never go away
  • Subsequent attempts to redo the import are superseded by the existing import and fail immediately
  • The problem seems to be intermittent
  • If I were to import 20 vms or templates at a time, at least 1 will fail. The same happens if I try the imports one at a time.

Environment

  • Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization 3.1
  • NFS Export Domain
  • FC Storage
  • NFS Storage
