ISO Importing Results in .img Files
-
I think the issue is that when we upload a raw file to the SR, SMAPIv1 won't take the name but create an UUID directly
-
@olivierlambert said in ISO Importing Results in .img Files:
take the name but create an UUID directl
I can try a different connection method I'm currently using.
NFS v4 and DNS names to connect to backend storage.
I can test with a lower NFS version or switch over to ISCSI targets to see if I can replicate it.

@Octive Oh gotcha, you can rename the disks as you want within XO itself but don't rename the long UUID.vhd files within the file system, you don't want to mess with those. The UUID is used to track the file itself rather than what you name it in XO. You can't rename the disks to something other than a UUID though (at the file system level).

Just jumping back to this thread, since as far as I can tell it's still happening, was this supposed to be fixed?
-
It's a XAPI/SMAPI thing (not XO related), and we have far more pressing things to deal with ATM. I'm not sure there's an easy solution.
-
@olivierlambert Gotcha, totally agree, super low on the list of things to do.
I do wonder if maybe a note should be added somewhere saying you'll have to manually rename the files after importing? Maybe hear near the note about ISO importing?
-
This is still happening for us on our Community Edition instance that I updated today, but the odd thing I noticed is that it doesn't happen immediately. When I upload an iso file, it keeps the name for a while, but when I return the next day, it is renamed to the <uuid>.img file.
Maybe there's some maintenance job that runs that does the renaming?
-
I don't think so, adding @Team-XAPI-Network in the loop

I was noticing this myself many commits ago. I have not uploaded an ISO since updating.
In my testing i wasnt sure if it was my proxy manager doing it as it didnt see to to do that when i upload vis the ip of xo-ce vs proxy manager.
I have since mounted the ISO share on a PC and the ISO did infact have a .img file format but not all ISO's. Also file name had generic a-z 1-0 file name.
I have since deleted those ISOs from the share and manually copied over the ISO. XO-CE updated once it saw the new ISO but as of now (Three days) ISO's has remained as ISO's.

@olivierlambert Just tried it, because I don't know what XO does:
It starts with a vdi create on the ISO SR:

I'll wait to see if the same thing happens and it's later renamed to the .img. I've refreshed the SR just in case, but I can't reproduce the issue just yet
-
I just uploaded xcp-ng-8.3.0.iso and this is what i seee... I changed the file name to xcp-ng-8.3.iso before upload to prevent duplication file.
Edit - I just tried to upload direct to xo-ce and same outcome.
-
Another thing I noticed is that if I rename the ISO in the XO UI, it will keep that name in the UI, but I can't seem to use it mount to any VMs using the Console or Disks tab. A rescan of the SR didn't seem to make a difference either.
-
@acebmxer I tried to force it by uploading the same iso twice, and couldn't reproduce the issue. XO shouldn't allow to upload an ISO to an SR with the same name
-
@psafont thats good to know the system will prevent you from uploading the same ISO.
Since my latest testing i cant seeem to get XO-CE to show the incorrect file name .img of the iso that was uploaded. But know @plaidypus is not alone in this as I have seen it myself and that is why you will see most of the iso in the picture have a date just a few days prior to this recent testing.
I manually deleted the iso that were .img and manually uploaded the ISOs again.
