i would like to use your desaster recovery option ( realy nice feature ) in Xencenter for restoring vm´s from a storage LUN clone´s for a quick vm restore ( Xenserver 7 ).
We snapshot our complete FC LUN ( Storage Based ).
The Problem is connect the cloned FC LUN to Xencenter.
The UUID of a clone already exist, if you try to insert the clone in Xencenter, because of the same UUID.
Could you implement a option that you changes the clone LUN UUID to a new UUID ??
The best way is:
If you detect that a LUN with same uuid exist then asking to Import as a clone with a new uuid or not. This would be a awesome Feature. Like VMWare LUN.reasigment.
Manuel steps i´m thinking about is:
uuidgen for a new LUN UUID
vgimportclone to Import the clone LUN
metadata Change
lvrename to rename the Lun
Would be nice if you could do that. Then you would help a lot of People around here, because of importing each vm in desaster spends a lot of time.
A work arround for other guys is to have a Restore Xenserver out of the Pool. Attach the LUN and restore and move it to original pool. But it is a bit awesome.
Who could tell me the right manual steps in order to change the LUN UUID ( maybe a example ) I know there is a script arround but i need it for fibre channel lun.I´m examine it right now.
