Doubt about iptables host config
by Gianluca Cecchi
Hello,
I have read this interesting blog post
https://www.ovirt.org/blog/2016/12/extension-iptables-rules-oVirt-hosts/
In my case, to allow incoming connections from Nagios server to connect to
Nagios nrpe daemon installed on hosts I have run
[root@ovmgr1 ~]# engine-config --set IPTablesConfigSiteCustom='
> -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 5666 -s 10.4.5.99/32 -m comment --comment "Nagios
NRPE daemon" -j ACCEPT
> '
[root@ovmgr1 ~]#
and
systemctl restart ovirt-engine
BTW: the link above misses the final ' apex at the end of the similar
command in the given example
On my oVirt running host (CentOS 7.4) in the mean time I have run
[g.cecchi@ov300 ~]$ sudo iptables -I INPUT 16 -p tcp --dport 5666 -s
10.4.5.99/32 -m comment --comment "Nagios NRPE daemon" -j ACCEPT
In fact the current "reject-with icmp-host-prohibited" was line 16 and I
have inserted it right before.
So far so good.
I have a doubt if, in case of host put into maintenance and then
reactivated, or rebooted, the rule will remain.
Or do I have anyway to put any line in any file on host to set it
persistently?
I wouldn't like to go and reinstall it only to statically set a new
iptables rule.
Thanks,
Gianluca

Greetings,
For various reasons I have multiple networks that I am required to work
with. I just want to ensure that I've understood the documentation for
setting up Ovirt correctly.
- First is my BMC/ilo network. The security team wants as few entry
points into this as possible and wants as much segregation as possible.
- Second is my "management" access network. For my other machines on
this network this means admin-SSH/rsyslog/SaltStack configuration
management/ect.
- Third is my high speed network where my NFS storage sits and
applications that need the bandwidth do their thing.
- Fourth is my "public" access.
My Engine host has the "management" and "public" networks.
My Hypervisor hosts have the "BMC/ilo", "management", and "storage"
networks.
Is there a reason why I should add "public" on the hypervisors?
Is there a reason why I may need "BMC/ilo" or "storage" on the Engine hos=
t?
Thanks!
~Stack~

Hosted engine setup question
by Demeter Tibor

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8

Hi,
I just installed a hosted engine based four nodes cluster to glustered storage.
It seems to working fine, but I have some question about it.
- I would like to make an own cluster and datacenter. Is it possible to remove a host and re-add to an another cluster while it is running the hosted engine?
- Is it possible to remove default datacenter without any problems?
- I have a productive ovirt cluter that is based on 3.5 series. It is using a shared nfs storage. Is it possible to migrate VMs from 3.5 to 4.1 with detach shared storage from the old cluster and attach it to the new cluster?
- If yes what will happend with the VM properies? For example mac addresses, limits, etc. Those will be migrated or not?
Thanks in advance,
Regard
Tibor

Greetings,
I hit up the IRC earlier, but only crickets. Guess no one wants to stick
around late on a Friday night. :-D
I'm an ovirt newb here. I've been going through the docs setting up 4.1
on Scientific Linux 7.4. For the most part everything is going well once
I learn how to do it. I'm, however, stuck on power management.
I have multiple networks:
192.168.1.x is my BMC/ilo network. The security team wants as few entry
points into this as possible and wants as much segregation as possible.
192.168.2.x is my "management" access network. For my other machines on
this network this means admin-SSH/rsyslog/SaltStack configuration
management/ect.
192.168.3.x is my high speed network where my NFS storage sits and
applications that need the bandwidth do their thing.
10.10.86.x is my "public" access
All networks are configured on the Host network settings. Mostly
confident I got it right...at least each network/IP matches the right
interface. ;-)
Right now I only have the engine server and one hyper-visor. On either
host I can ssh into the command line and run fence_ipmilan -a
192.168.1.x -l USER -p PASS -o status -v -P" it works, all is good.
However, when I try to add it in the ovirt interface I get an error. :-/
Edit Host -> Power Management:
Address: 192.168.1.14
User Name: root
Password: SorryCantTellYou
Type: ipmilan
Options: <blank>
Test
Test failed: Failed to run fence status-check on host '192.168.2.14'. No
other host was available to serve as proxy for the operation.
Yes, same host because I only have one right now. :-)
Any help or guidance would be much appreciated. In the meantime I'm
going back to the docs to poke at a few other things I need to figure
out. :-)
Thanks!
~Stack~

Doing further investigation,
I found that the XFS error
messages didn't start
yesterday. You'll see they
started at the very end of
the day on September 23.

They continued on the 24th,
then on the 26th... I think
there were a few "hangs" on
those times that people were
complaining about, but we
didn't catch the problem.
However, the errors hit big
time yesterday at 14:27

If you want any other logs,
I'm happy to provide them.
I just don't know exactly
what to provide.<br>
<br>
Do you know if I can run the
XFS defrag command live?
Rather than on a disk by
disk, I'd rather just do it
on the whole filesystem.
There really aren't that
many files since it's just
ovirt disk images. However,
I don't understand the
implications to running
VMs. I wouldn't want to do
anything to create more
downtime.<br>

I had upgraded the engine server + 4
virtualization hosts from 4.1.1 to current
on September 20 along with upgrading them
from CentOS 7.3 to CentOS 7.4. virtfs,
the NFS file server, was running CentOS
7.3 and kernel
vmlinuz-3.10.0-514.16.1.el7.x8<wbr>6_64.
Only yesterday, did I upgrade it to CentOS
7.4 and hence kernel
vmlinuz-3.10.0-693.2.2.el7.x86<wbr>_64.<br>
<br>
I believe the problem is fully XFS
related, and not ovirt at all. Although,
I must admit, ovirt didn't help either.
When I rebooted the file server, the iso
and export domains were immediately
active, but the data domain took quite a
long time. I kept trying to activate it,
and it couldn't do it. I couldn't make a
host an SPM. I found that the data domain
directory on the virtualization host was a
"stale NFS file handle". I rebooted one
of the virtualization hosts (virt1), and
tried to make it the SPM. Again, it
wouldn't work. Finally, I ended up
turning everything into maintenance mode,
then activating just it, and I was able to
make it the SPM. I was then able to bring
everything up. I would have expected
ovirt to handle the problem a little more
gracefully, and give me more information
because I was sweating thinking I had to
restore all the VMs!<br>

I didn't think when I chose XFS as the
filesystem for my virtualization NFS
server that I would have to defragment the

All 4 virtualization hosts
of course had problems
since there was no<br>
longer any storage.<br>
<br>
In the end, it seems like
the problem is related to
XFS fragmentation...<br>
<br>
I read this great blog
here:<br>
<br>
<a
href="https://blog.codecentric.de/en/2017/04/xfs-possible-memory-allocation-dea..."
rel="noreferrer"
target="_blank"
moz-do-not-send="true">https://blog.codecentric.de/en<wbr>/2017/04/xfs-possible-memory-a<wbr>llocation-deadlock-kmem_alloc/</a><br>
<br>
In short, I tried this:<br>
<br>
# xfs_db -r -c "frag -f"
/dev/sdb1<br>
actual 4314253, ideal
43107, fragmentation
factor 99.00%<br>
<br>
Apparently the
fragmentation factor
doesn't mean much, but the
fact that<br>
"actual" number of extents
is considerably higher
than "ideal" extents seems
that it<br>
may be the problem.<br>
<br>
I saw that many of my
virtual disks that are
written to a lot have, of
course,<br>
a lot of extents...<br>
<br>
For example, on our main
web server disk image,
there were 247,597<br>
extents alone! I took the
web server down, and ran
the XFS defrag<br>
command on the disk...<br>
<br>
# xfs_fsr -v
9a634692-1302-471f-a92e-c978b2<wbr>b67fd0<br>
9a634692-1302-471f-a92e-c978b2<wbr>b67fd0<br>
extents before:247597
after:429 DONE
9a634692-1302-471f-a92e-c978b2<wbr>b67fd0<br>
<br>
247,597 before and 429
after! WOW!<br>
<br>
Are virtual disks a
problem with XFS? Why
isn't this memory
allocation<br>
deadlock issue more
prevalent. I do see this
article mentioned on many<br>
web posts. I don't
specifically see any
recommendation to *not*
use<br>
XFS for the data domain
though.<br>
<br>
I was running CentOS 7.3
on the file server, but
before rebooting the
server,<br>
I upgraded to the latest
kernel and CentOS 7.4 in
the hopes that if there<br>
was a kernel issue, that
this would solve it.<br>
<br>
I took a few virtual
systems down, and ran the
defrag on the disks.
However,<br>
with over 30 virtual
systems, I don't really
want to do this
individually.<br>
I was wondering if I could
run xfs_fsr on all the
disks LIVE? It says in
the<br>
manual that you can run it
live, but I can't see how
this would be good when<br>
a system is using that
disk, and I don't want to
deal with major<br>
corruption across the
board. Any thoughts?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
<br>
Jason.<br>

libvirt: XML-RPC error : authentication failed: Failed to start SASL
by Ozan Uzun
Hello,
Today I updated my ovirt engine v3.5 and all my hosts on one datacenter
(centos 7.4 ones).
and suddenly my vdsm and vdsm-network services stopped working.
btw: My other DC is centos 6 based (managed from the same ovirt engine),
everything works just fine there.
vdsm fails dependent on vdsm-network service, with lots of RPC error.
I tried to configure vdsm-tool configure --force, deleted everything
(vdsm-libvirt), reinstalled.
Could not make it work.
My logs are filled with the follogin

Having issue with external IPA
by Yan Naing Myint
Hello guys,
I'm having problem with adding users from my FreeIPA server to oVirt.
1. Status of ovirt-engine-extension-aaa-ldap-setup is success with RHDS
2. I cannot add IPA users in oVirt webadmin panel
3. In oVirt web admin panel it says "Error while executing action AddUser:
Internal Engine Error"
What will be the problem or is it a bug?
Is there any suggestion of how do it make it work?
in the engine.log it says;

Hi.
For my data domain, I have one NFS server with a large RAID filesystem (9 TB).
I'm only using 2 TB of that at the moment. Today, my NFS server hung with
the following error:
> xfs: possible memory allocation deadlock in kmem_alloc
All 4 virtualization hosts of course had problems since there was no
longer any storage.
In the end, it seems like the problem is related to XFS fragmentation...
I read this great blog here:
https://blog.codecentric.de/en/2017/04/xfs-possible-memory-allocation-dea...
In short, I tried this:
# xfs_db -r -c "frag -f" /dev/sdb1
actual 4314253, ideal 43107, fragmentation factor 99.00%
Apparently the fragmentation factor doesn't mean much, but the fact that
"actual" number of extents is considerably higher than "ideal" extents seems that it
may be the problem.
I saw that many of my virtual disks that are written to a lot have, of course,
a lot of extents...
For example, on our main web server disk image, there were 247,597
extents alone! I took the web server down, and ran the XFS defrag
command on the disk...
# xfs_fsr -v 9a634692-1302-471f-a92e-c978b2b67fd0
9a634692-1302-471f-a92e-c978b2b67fd0
extents before:247597 after:429 DONE 9a634692-1302-471f-a92e-c978b2b67fd0
247,597 before and 429 after! WOW!
Are virtual disks a problem with XFS? Why isn't this memory allocation
deadlock issue more prevalent. I do see this article mentioned on many
web posts. I don't specifically see any recommendation to *not* use
XFS for the data domain though.
I was running CentOS 7.3 on the file server, but before rebooting the server,
I upgraded to the latest kernel and CentOS 7.4 in the hopes that if there
was a kernel issue, that this would solve it.
I took a few virtual systems down, and ran the defrag on the disks. However,
with over 30 virtual systems, I don't really want to do this individually.
I was wondering if I could run xfs_fsr on all the disks LIVE? It says in the
manual that you can run it live, but I can't see how this would be good when
a system is using that disk, and I don't want to deal with major
corruption across the board. Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Jason.

iSCSI VLAN host connections - bond or multipath & IPv6
by Ben Bradley
Hi All
I'm looking to add a new host to my oVirt lab installation.
I'm going to share out some LVs from a separate box over iSCSI and will
hook the new host up to that.
I have 2 NICs on the storage host and 2 NICs on the new Ovirt host to
dedicate to the iSCSI traffic.
I also have 2 separate switches so I'm looking for redundancy here. Both
iSCSI host and oVirt host plugged into both switches.
If this was non-iSCSI traffic and without oVirt I would create bonded
interfaces in active-backup mode and layer the VLANs on top of that.
But for iSCSI traffic without oVirt involved I wouldn't bother with a
bond and just use multipath.
From scanning the oVirt docs it looks like there is an option to have
oVirt configure iSCSI multipathing.
So what's the best/most-supported option for oVirt?
Manually create active-backup bonds so oVirt just sees a single storage
link between host and storage?
Or leave them as separate interfaces on each side and use oVirt's
multipath/bonding?
Also I quite like the idea of using IPv6 for the iSCSI VLAN, purely down
to the fact I could use link-local addressing and not have to worry
about setting up static IPv4 addresses or DHCP. Is IPv6 iSCSI supported
by oVirt?
Thanks, Ben
