Hello again,

Just to provide an update for future reference, I've been unable to sort this 
problem out.
However, Ovirt4 does not show this failure.

My current approach to move VMs from one installation to another is:
1)            Shutdown VM in ovirt3.
2)            Maintenance VM storage
3)            Clone VM storage at LUN level
4)            Import cloned storage in ovirt4
5)            Import VM in ovirt4
If everything is ok:
6a)          detach + remove original VM storage in ovirt3
7a)          remove mappings for original VM storage LUN in ovirt3; this imply 
cluster instability (sanlock crash on hosts);
8a)          recover cluster; this implies shutting down host (and its VM) one 
by one
9a)          delete unmapped original LUN from storage manager

When Sanlock freeze on host, the only solution found so far is to reboot it. 
This has to be done on all host experiencing this problem (which basically 
means: all hosts in the cluster)

Cheers
AG

Subject: [HELP] unmapping a deleted storage domain triggers crash ovirt

Hello people,

something's not right in my ovirt infrastructure.
I currently have two different ovirt installation:
Ovirt3: 7 hosts linked to Compellent iscsi storage running ovirt 3.5.6
Ovirt4: 4 hosts linked to (same) Compellent iscsi storage running ovirt 4.0.4

I'm currently moving my guests from ovirt3 to ovirt4.
Since iscsi storage is linked to both installations, my high level approach is:

1)      Shutdown VM in ovirt3.

2)      Maintenance + detach + remove VM storage in ovirt3

3)      Change LUN mapping via iscsi storage manager from ovirt3 to ovirt4

4)      Import storage in ovirt4

5)      Import VM in ovirt4

6)      Run and cheers with high grade liquor. GOTO step 1 for different VM.

Now, as soon as I perform step 3 (remove mappings from LUN), ovirt3 goes crazy 
and eventually forces me to reboot all hosts one by one.
I tried different low level approaches to unmap LUN mpath'ed from hosts with 
inconsistent results.
A notable error log extract is:

I really need your help to sort this out as I'm actually blocked in my task.

Why mapping changes triggers ovirt crash on a storage which ovirt should not 
care about?
Thanks
