[Users] Ovirt live USB - aka oVirt on a stick
by Moran Goldboim
In order To improve the ease of installation, we are working on two new tools:
1. Fedora oVirt spin
We are planning on integrating oVirt to a live fedora spin[1]
This will simplify the the installation for new users. It will contain the oVirt "AllInOne" [2] on top of a Fedora liveCD desktop.
This will allow users to experiment with oVirt before later installing it.
The idea is user will install fedora from the CD, then answer the questions of the all-in-one setup.
2. Simple demo environment
As a second stage, for simple demo use cases, we want to take this one step further.
We'd like to extend this live spin to include a complete environment - sample vm/template/iso/node,etc so that a user can boot from a USB key and have a complete environment that's pre-installed and configured, this will probably will be done with a script calling one of the APIs[3] to create it.
The user would download an image, write it to a USB disk and then boot it[4].
the idea is user can copy this iso to a usb disk (or a qcow/vdmk) and
Once booted the user will have a pre-installed, pre-configured oVirt Engine, host and local storage domain complete with ISOs, VM and template.
any suggestions/help will be appreciated

[Users] Failed to import Vm host to ovirt
by Thomas Scofield
While trying to import a virtual machine I got very generic error message
in the web interface "Failed to import Vm host to ovirt", in the engine.log
I got this java exception below. After doing some digging I realized the
problem was I did not map the network bridge names from my
previous machine to the bridge name used on the current machine. After
modifing
the master/vms/e94464d3-ae44-45ac-b09b-0e17f784a378/e94464d3-ae44-45ac-b09b-0e17f784a378.ovf
file and updating the references to the bridge name the import worked as
expected. Could more information be added to the error message to indicate
the source of the problem? Are there any plans to allow the network
configuration to be modified as part of the import?

Anyway to make the order of the nics persistent? I added a udev rule but
when I reboot it disappears.
Best regards,

[Users] Ceph / rbd and ovirt
by Josh Logan
I'm currently setting up an ovirt cluster and so far it looks good. I like
the integration with Foreman http://theforeman.org/ .
I would like to use Ceph / rbd for my storage. I saw some mention of
patches coming in May, but I did not find any new posts.
What is the status of this work? Is there some patches I can try out? I
have a working Ceph cluster and a working ovirt cluster, I just need a way
to bring them together.
Thanks, JOSH

you could place it in a VM on shared storage.
then launch it on one host.
but you should never launch it on the other host before you made sure it
doesn't run on the first node, or it will be corrupted.
you also want to set the SPM priority on the node it is running to lower
than the other node so SPM won't be scheduled on engine node.

[Users] Logical networks in 3.1 on CentOS 6.3
by Frank Soyer
Hi list,
I'm testing oVirt on 3 hosts as a possible replacement for Proxmox.
I've some trouble to understand the network part of the config (for
beginning, I'll have some other questions about glusterfs later :)) and
need some lights.
The environment :
- Engine host, no-virtualisation capability, one NIC eth0
- 2 nodes, virtualisation OK, 2 NICs eth0,eth1
- oVirt 3.1 on CentOS 6.3.
The installation of engine/nodes was OK, no problem at all on the 3 nodes.
The NIC eth0 on all hosts was manually bound on a bridge "ovirtmgmt",
respectively on 10.0.0.1, .2, .3
ovirmgmt appears on the console as the management network, no problem,
just a first question :
it is marked as "VM network", and no way to change that. What if I want
that this network to be dedicated on physical hosts only ?
Second, I tried to create a logical network, call it "vmnetwork", linked
it to datacenter and cluster. In the network interface configuration
window on the hosts, I can link vmnetwork on eth0, but when validating
an error occurs saying that eth0 is already linked to ovirmgmt. So I
can't have management network and vm network on the same NIC , even on a
virtual nic (tried with vlan=0 and vlan=10 on vmnetwork, same thing) ?
Third, is this a bug when I come back to the configuration window, that
the networks (for ovirmgmt and vmnetwork) return to "DHCP" ? If I forgot
to re-check the static network, the host lose all it's network config
and is declared non-responsive then rebooted..... Bad !
Thank you for helping me to understand.

[Users] nested KVM
by Nathanaël Blanchet
Hello,
I've tried many times to run a node as a guest in ovirt following
http://wiki.ovirt.org/wiki/Vdsm_Developers#Running_Node_as_guest_-_Nested...
. The result is that I'm able to register such a host in engine, but it
is impossible to start any vm on it. If I boot on an ISO, I can see the
first prompt and move between the items. But since I begin the
installation I have a blank screen and the vm goes into pause mode in
vit-manager. Then I have no way else than rebooting the hypervisor guest
because it is impossible to resume. When I get logs on the real host, I
can find this :
arning : x86Decode:1306 : Preferred CPU model Westmere not allowed by

As you can see, I have tried many cpu type for launching this guest
hypervisor, but none of them is accepted by the hypervisor. Plus, I've
modified each time the family type in the cluster tab, but it is the same.
On the hist:
#virsh capabilities gives
<cpu>
<arch>x86_64</arch>
<model>Westmere</model>
<vendor>Intel</vendor>
Thanks for your help

[Users] General challenges w/ Ovirt 3.1
by Hans Lellelid
Hi -
I apologize in advance that this email is less about a specific
problem and more a general inquiry as to the most recommended /
likely-to-be-successful way path.
I am on my third attempt to get an ovirt system up and running (using
a collection of spare servers, that meet the requirements set out in
the user guide). I'm looking to implement a viable evolution to the
unscalable stove-piped ESXi servers (i.e. which are free). And while
I'm happy to learn more about the underpinnings, I recognize that to
really be a replacement for these VMWare solutions, this has to mostly
"Just Work" -- and that's eventually why I've given up on previous
occasions (after a couple days of work) and decided to revisit in 6
months.
My basic server setup is:
- oVirt Mgmt (engine)
- oVirt HV1 (hypervisor node)
- oVirt HV2 (hypervisor node)
- oVirt Disk (NFS share)
1st attempt: I installed the latest stable Node image (2.5.1) on the
HV1 and HV2 machines and re-installed the Mgmt server w/ Fedora 17
(64-bit) and all the latest stable engine packages. For the first
time, Node installation and Engine setup all went flawlessly. But I
could not mount the NFS shares. Upon deeper research, this appeared
to be the bug mentioned about NFS; I was *sure* that the official
stable Node image would have had a downgraded kernel, but apparently
not :) I have no idea if there is an officially supported way to
downgrade the kernel on the Node images; the warnings say that any
changes will not persist, so I assume there is not. (I am frankly a
little surprised that the official stable packages & ISO won't
actually work to mount NFS shares, which is the recommended storage
strategy and kinda critical to this thing!?) . FWIW, the oVirt Disk
system is a CentOS 6.2 system.
2nd attempt: I re-installed the nodes as Fedora 17 boxes and
downgraded the kernels to 3.4.6-2. Then I connected these from the
Engine (specifying the root pw) and watched the logs while things
installed. After reboot neither of the servers were reachable.
Sitting in front of the console, I realized that networking was
refusing to start; several errors printed to the console looked like:
device-mapper: table: 253:??: multipath: error getting device (I don't
remember exactly what was after the "253:")
calling "multipath -ll" yielded no output, calling "multipath -r"
re-issued the above errors
Obviously the Engine did a lot of work there, setting up the bridge,
etc. I did not spend a long time trying to untangle this. (In
retrospect, I will go back and probably spend more time trying to
track this down, but it's difficult since I lose network & have to
stand at the console in the server room :))
3rd attempt: I re-installed the nodes with Fedora 17 and attempted to
install VDSM manually by RPM. Despite following the instructions to
turn off ssl (ssl=false in /etc/vdsm/vdsm.conf), I am seeing SSL
"unknown cert" errors from the python socket server with every attempt
of the engine to talk to the node. I added the CA from the master
into the /etc/pki/vdsm (since that was the commented-out path in the
config file as the trust store) and added the server's cert here too,
but have no idea what form these files should take to be respected by
the python server -- or if they are respected at all. I couldn't find
this documented anywhere, so I left the servers spewing logs for the
weekend figuring that I'll either give up or try another strategy on
Monday.
So is there a general strategy that should get me to a working system
here? I suspect that the Node image is not a good path, since it
appears to be incompatible with NFS mounting. The
Fedora-17-installed-by-engine sounds good, but there's a lot of magic
there & it obviously completely broke my systems. Is that where I
should focus my efforts? Should I ditch NFS storage and just try to
get something working with local-only storage on the nodes? (Shared
storage would be a primary motivation for moving to ovirt, though.)
I am very excited for this to work for me someday. I think it has
been frustrating to have such sparse (or outdated?) documentation and
such fundamental problems/bugs/configuration challenges. I'm using
pretty standard (Dell) commodity servers (SATA drives, simple RAID
setups, etc.).
Sorry for no log output, I can provide more of that when back at work
on Monday, but this was more of a general inquiry on where I should
plan to take this.
Thanks in advance!

[Users] VM stuck in state Not Responding
by Patrick Hurrelmann
Hi List,
in my test lab the iSCSI SAN crashed and caused some mess. My cluster
has 3 hosts running VMs. The SPM node was fenced and automatically
shutdown due to the storage crash. All VMs running on the other 2 hosts
were put to pause. I recovered the storage and powered on the fenced
node. All VMs were restarted or coming back to live except one. Since
this incident I am no longer able to start oder stop it. It is stuck in
state "Not Responding" and it seems I cannot revive it anymore.
The engine only provides the stop or shutdown operations, but none works.
The following is logged when trying to stop it:
2012-09-28 12:29:08,415 INFO [org.ovirt.engine.core.bll.StopVmCommand]

Is there anything I can do to reset that stuck state and bring the VM
back to live?
Best regards
Patrick
