[Users] BSOD's on Server 2008 Guests
by Neil 16 Jan '13

16 Jan '13

Hi guys, I have 3 Server 2008 guests running on my oVirt 3.1 system, if there is an incorrect shutdown(power failure) of the entire system and guests, or even sometimes a normal reboot of the guests, the 2008 Servers all start with blue screens and I have to reboot them multiple times before they eventually boot into Windows as if nothing was ever wrong. The Linux guests all behave perfectly on the system so I highly doubt there are any hardware issues. Does this problem sound familiar to anyone? I don't want to go ahead and run all the latest updates and possibly risk bigger issues, unless there is a good reason to. These are the details of my system. Centos 6.3 64bit on nodes and engine using dreyou repo. ovirt-engine-3.1.0-3.8.el6.noarch vdsm-4.10.0-0.44.14.el6.x86_64 qemu-kvm-0.12.1.2-2.295.el6_3.2.x86_64 libvirt-0.9.10-21.el6_3.5.x86_64 2x Dell R720 with Xeon E5-2620 CPU's Nodes running the guests. An FC SAN for storage HP Micro Server for the engine Please shout if any other details will help. Thanks. Regards. Neil Wilson.

[Users] ovirt node installation
by Mikael Bergemalm 16 Jan '13

Hi, I'm trying to install an ovirt node using the "ovirt-node-iso-2.5.5-0.1.fc17.iso" on a HP proliant DL360 G6 but when I get to the graphical install page the server seems frozen and I can't choose any options. Is there an all text-based installation I can use in some way? Regards, Mike

[Users] UI Plugins in nightly?
by René Koch (ovido) 16 Jan '13

16 Jan '13

Hi, I installed oVirt engine on Fedora 18 with latest nightly RPMs and wanted to test the UI plugins, but it seems as this feature is still not available in nightly. According to Oved blog post (http://ovedou.blogspot.co.at/2012/12/ovirt-foreman-ui-plugin.html) custom plugins should be put into: /usr/share/ovirt-engine/ui-plugins UI plugins page on oVirt webpage (http://www.ovirt.org/Features/UIPlugins) proposed /usr/libexec/ovirt/webadmin/extensions as the folder for UI plugins. But neither of these folder does exist in my setup. So I wanted to know if UI plugins are still not packaged and if they will be included in final oVirt 3.2? Thanks a lot. -- Regards, René Koch Senior Solution Architect ============================================ ovido gmbh - "Das Linux Systemhaus" Brünner Straße 163, A-1210 Wien Phone: +43 720 / 530 670 Mobile: +43 660 / 512 21 31 E-Mail: r.koch(a)ovido.at ============================================

[Users] VMWare vSphere resource pools access control like feature?
by Jiri Belka 15 Jan '13

15 Jan '13

Hi, in vSphere you can create a resource pool[1] and define to it access control and delegation... <quote> Access control and delegation - When a top-level administrator makes a resource pool available to a department-level administrator, that administrator can then perform all virtual machine creation and management within the boundaries of the resources to which the resource pool is entitled by the current shares, reservation, and limit settings. Delegation is usually done in conjunction with permissions setting </quote> Is it possible in oVirt? The usage here is to assing roles to a resource pool. You could do this with different DC/cluster in oVirt, but it looks like it is impossible if having _just_ one host (thus one DC/cluster). jirib [1] http://pubs.vmware.com/vsphere-50/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.vmware.vsphere.res…

(any other comment to that feature > page is welcome). 1. in general, I like it. iiuc, you don't really need the management network for normal work (engine would connect to host by its fqdn/ip by default). if you do want to set a vlan/bond/SLA/roles/etc - then you just configure it. 2. need to see how to preserve backward compatibility - i.e., bootstrap will probably need to handle this for older engines. 3. iirc, in ovirt-node the bridge is created prior to bootstrap, which wouldn't be needed any more.

[Users] iso domain creation error
by Jithin Raju 15 Jan '13

15 Jan '13

Hi, I ran engine-setup for ovirt 3.1fresh installation , while configuring iso domain i get this error: "Should the installer configure NFS share on this server to be used as an ISO Domain? ['yes'| 'no'] [yes] : yes Local ISO domain path: /iso Error: directory /iso is not empty" my /iso is a separate ext4 filesystem which has "lost+found" directory. I had to remove "lost+found" directory to get the iso domain created by engine-setup. Thanks, Jithin
