Failing VM backups with version 4.0.4 about ovirtbackup HOT 9 CLOSED

I suggest asking in ovirt users mailing list - and please share installation logs.
The relevant logical name should be in the database (see https://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/c/61894 - which added it in 4.0.4).

Hi, this is because you are using the sdk version 4 which did not work currenty with this tool, You can install sdk 3 which should work.
For more see #21

from ovirtbackup.

@wefixit-AT - that's not it. He's using the v3 SDK - you have to explicitly import the v4 SDK in order to use it. It and v3 can be installed in parallel (which seems to be the case here).

Thanks for the information

As @mykaul suggested, please check/share setup logs - all of /var/log/ovirt-engine/setup/* . Thanks.

Hello.

Regarding the SDK packages, I can not remove the v4. Attached the setup logs.

Maybe you can install sdk v3 additionally ?

Hello.

It is working now!!!!! :)

There is a flag on config.cfg file set to True by default:

If set to "True" no creation, deletion and other operations will be executed
dry_run=True

I changed it to False and the backup was made with success:

[root@cpsvrhevmp01 oVirtBackup-master]# ./backup.py -c config_example.cfg
Nov 03 10:43:48: Start backup for: CPSVZABBIXP01
Nov 03 10:43:49: Snapshot creation started ...
Nov 03 10:44:01: Snapshot created
Nov 03 10:44:11: Clone into VM started ...
Nov 03 10:46:23: Cloning finished
Nov 03 10:46:25: Snapshot deletion started ...
Nov 03 10:48:47: Snapshots deleted
Nov 03 10:48:49: Export started ...
Nov 03 10:52:19: Exporting finished
Nov 03 10:52:19: Delete cloned VM started ...
Nov 03 10:52:22: Cloned VM deleted
Nov 03 10:52:22: Duration: 8:35 minutes
Nov 03 10:52:22: VM exported as CPSVZABBIXP01_BACKUP_20161103_104348
Nov 03 10:52:22: Backup done for: CPSVZABBIXP01
Nov 03 10:52:22: All backups done
[root@cpsvrhevmp01 oVirtBackup-master]#

So, I think it is necessary to change it on the download zip package to False.

Tks.

Glad to hear that the backup tool is now working for you. The dry_run flag is set to "True" by default to avoid any damage when somebody starts the backup tool the first time without reading the instructions.

If now all your problems are solved please close this and the related issue.
