oVirt Manager problem
by Massimo Mad
I have a problem on my oVirt manager, the problem is that the directory
/var/lib/pgsql/data fills.
Initially thinking that my file system /var/log 2Gb was too small now have
increased to 4Gb and is refilled, i have increased again to 5 Gb and is
refilled again.
Why ?
I have implemented the backup of the manager with the script backup.sh, this
could be the cause of the problem ?

Ovirt 3.5.x Power failure recovery
by Raymond
Hi,
Long time read-only user here :)
Unfortunately I need some info which I can't seem to find in the archives and on Google.
In the past 5 months we’ve had two very rare occasions of power failures in my hometown.
First one was a ms during spike or drop, just enough to cause a reboot, the other was a 30min failure.
Problem
After the power failure my ovirt nodes boot into CentOS 6.6 and are running fine.
In both cases my ovirt-engine-VM wouldn't "start" due to service Postgresql not starting.
I tried some things before reverting back to an older DB snapshot that was on the VM disk, but still not working.
Postgresql is not starting due to "Duplicate UUID"
My solution
Calm down girlfriend and don't sleep
Reinstall 1 node, create new ovirt-engine, recreate VM's and copy VM disk data from old store to new store.
Add second node
Other solutions I can think of
1. Start cluster without reinstall ;)
2. Buy UPS (€150 one time, extra €60 yearly power usage = €450 in 5 years)
At this moment I’m 1 click away from buying the UPS, but I prefer a more elegant solution.
After the last power failure I did NOT reinstall my second ovirt node and the old engine is also on storage available.
Is there someone that wants some data to troubleshoot/analyse?
Or is this just one of those things? Buy the UPS and get on with your life?
Short HW overview
2x ovirt 3.5.x (i3/32GB ram,1Gb eth VM network, dual x520 NFS eth)
1x NFS (i3/4GB ram, 5TB SAS and 6TB SATA on Dell PERC,1Gb eth mgmt, dual x520 10Gb)
1Gb is used for VM networking, the 10Gb is connected via DAC cables and runs NFS-storage.
This works great! Whole cluster runs below 120w and VM disk performance is around 700MB/s :)
I bought all the HW with power usage in mind, PicoPSU's and 35w CPU's in all nodes.
So adding 30w "extra" just for the UPS feels a bit like killing an elephant with tissues...
kind regards

el6 vs el7
by Nathanaël Blanchet
Hi all,
I'm planning to migrate my ovirt el6 hosts to el7.
Excepting that el6 will not be supported in next release of ovirt, is
there a difference of performance between el7 and el6?
I mean, are qemu or libvirt for example at the same level of
performance/capabilities in el6 than in el7 (knowing that qemu-kvm 0.12
is still backported on el6) ?
I heard that el7.1 will support live merge, if true will el6.7 support
it as well or the difference between them is there?

Local and remote storage?
by Pat Riehecky
Hello,
I've run into an "odd" problem with oVirt 3.5.1.
I've two sets of VMs:
A) some fairly critical VMs which need HA and have access to shared storage
B) some less important systems which can be reconstructed in the event
of a disaster
My plan was to use the slack disk on my oVirt nodes to host the 'B'
systems while still allowing the 'A' systems to run there. This seems
to not be allowed[1].
Is there a way I can utilize both the spare disk on my compute nodes and
have HA configured for some VMs with shared storage?

Hi,
oVirt 3.5.2 branch has been created on hash:
* 405c933 - userportal, webadmin: allow SSO robots to fill in the login form (34 minutes ago) <Greg Sheremeta>
All patches targeted to 3.5.2 will need to be cherry-picked on the 3.5.2 branch too.

by Dubravko Sever
Hi,
Currently I'm looking for new solution for providing VPS-s to my organization users, we don't need biling infrastructure.. Does anyone has case of ovirt as VPS management and user interface (please provide me some feedbacks)?
And another question, what about integration with SingleSignOn infrastructure like shibboleth, based od SAML2?
Thanks
