RHEV VM Boot Issue

 

Problem: 

Boot disk in RHEV vm was not correct

 

Solution: 

In RHEV db we need to change data manually

 

Steps: 

0. Go to RHEV db: 

[root@rhev01 ~]# export PGPASSWORD=password
[root@rhev01 ~]# psql -U engin
  1. Check 

 

engine=> SELECT disk_alias, boot FROM base_disks WHERE disk_alias LIKE '%servername%';
                     disk_alias                     | boot
----------------------------------------------------+------
 servername_Disk1                                   | f
 servername_Disk2                                   | t

 

2. Change 

 

engine=> UPDATE base_disks SET boot='t' WHERE disk_alias LIKE '%servername_Disk1%';
UPDATE 1
engine=> UPDATE base_disks SET boot='f' WHERE disk_alias LIKE '%servername_Disk2%';
UPDATE 1

 

 

3. Check

engine=> SELECT disk_alias, boot FROM base_disks WHERE disk_alias LIKE '    %servername%';
                     disk_alias                     | boot
----------------------------------------------------+------
 servername_Disk1                                   | t
 servername_Disk2                                   | f
(2 rows)

 

 

4. Restart services 

[root@rhev01 ~]# /etc/init.d/postgresql restart
[root@rhev01 ~]# /etc/init.d/ovirt-engine restart

in case of problem:

tail -f /var/log/ovirt-engine/* 

5. Restart VM
