Unknown driver format value 'save_as'

Community Support

Hello,

I one of my long running and long existing VMs cannot be started anymore - it fails with a strange error message ($subject). I tried to delete it and attach its persistent disk to a different VM - I get the same error message in the VM error log.

Versions of the related components and OS (frontend, hypervisors, VMs):
OpenNebula 6.2 community edition

Steps to reproduce:
onevm attach 5443 --image 120

Current results:
No disk is attached (logs below).

Expected results:
Another disk should be visible from the VM.

The image itself indeed has FORMAT=save_as attribute, which is not visible in Sunstone, only in the command line:

oneimage show 120

VIRTUAL MACHINES

What should I do in order to be able to attach this disk to a vm? Thanks!

Apparently this is not something new - I have about 35 images with FORMAT=save_as, some of them very recent.

oneimage list | while read a; do oneimage show $a | grep -q save_as; done | wc -l

Bravely editing the MySQL database:

MariaDB [opennebula]> update image_pool set body=replace(body, "save_as", "raw") where oid=120;
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.00 sec)
Rows matched: 1  Changed: 1  Warnings: 0

and now I am able to attach the disk image 120 to a VM. Should I do the above UPDATE on all images containing <FORMAT>save_as</FORMAT> XML snippet in their imagepool.body?

If this is something set by older OpenNebula versions, maybe onedb fsck should be modified to fix this (as of now it does not catch this).

This issue has already been fixed in 6.2.1. You can fix the broken image templates with onedb update-body image --id XX.

Thanks! I am planning to update to 6.4 soon anyway.
