Hi,
I had created a Windows VM accidentally with storage in EXPORT_DOMAIN
rather than using a specified MASTER_STORAGE Domain built on iSCSI
storage. Realising the mistake, I moved the VM's disk from EXPORT_DOMAIN
to MASTER_STORAGE domain. The engine reported that disk moved
successfully. When I attempted to start the VM, I am getting error
"Cannot start VM, related operation is in progress". This error has
persisted over last 24 Hours!!. I attempted to remove the disk from VM,
same error appears. When I try to delete disk from MASTER_STORAGE
Domain, same error appears.
What could have gone wrong in this disk movement?
I am using oVirt 4.0.2 on CentOS 7 and 2 hosts in the cluster are also
with CentOS 7 base OS on which the Hypervisor is installed.

Our current infrastructure is as follows:
KVM managed with NFS exported raw files.
We are planning on moving to ovirt, but we want to move our disk images into Ceph via Cinder is this possible and if so, how?

Testing oVirt 4.0.3 and 4.0.4 RC3 on nested KVM
by wodel youchi
Hi,
I am testing the deployment of oVirt using ovirt-node next-gen and ovirt
appliance on a nested KVM environment.
My base system (the physical machine) is a FC24 with 16Go of RAM and nested
KVM enabled.
I used NFS for storage.
Test with oVirt 4.0.3:
- I created two hypervisors 5Go of RAM each and 4vCpu.
- I installed ovirt-node next-gen OS.
- I downloaded ovirt appliance and started the engine deploy using
generated configuration from cloud-init (I reserved 2Go of RAM for the
VM-engine).
Problems :
- I couldn't add the second hypervisor from the engine's GUI, when I tried
to do it, ovirt-engine crashed.
- I tried with the command line, the process terminated with errors.
- There is no create a new ISO or Export domain only Data domain in the
select list.
Unfortunately I deleted the two hypervisors.
Test with oVirt 4.0.4 RC3 :
- I created two hypervisors 5Go of RAM each and 4vCpu.
- I installed ovirt-node next-gen OS.
- I downloaded ovirt appliance and started the engine deploy using
generated configuration from cloud-init (I reserved 2Go of RAM for the
VM-engine).
Problems:
- I couldn't add the second hypervisor from the engine's GUI, when I tried
to do it, ovirt-engine crashed.
- After adding the Data domain, the hosted_storage was added successfully,
but the VM engine was not imported successfully, it's does not appear on
the VMs tab.
- There is no create a new ISO or Export domain only Data domain in the
select list.
- I added the second hypervisor from the command line successfully.
- I tried to put the first hypervisor in maintenance mode, migration of the
VM engine was started, from the command line I could see that the VM is
running on the second hypervisor, but the migration process didn't
terminate, I tried to reactivate the first hypervisor and put it in
maintenance mode again, this time the ovirt-engine crashed.

Nested oVirt : Unofficial network recommendations wanted
by Nicolas Ecarnot
Hello,
I'm trying to setup a nested oVirt for the first time, and according to
what I read around and experience, some special network settings have to
be chosen.
For this first try, the bare-metal host is a Debian, running KVM, and
the virtual NICs are setup as macvtap in VEPA mode.
I'm not up to date with macvtap, but I think I understood that one of
its limit was that no packet could be exchanged between the host and the
guests. So far, this is leading me to access my own local VMs from
another host. Too bad.
I'm also witnessing frequent loss of packets.
So far, I'm also seeing that guests can not ping each others, so I'm not
going further before having solved these basic issues.
I'm remembering the good old times of lots of bridges where my VMs could
be reached by anyone (this was desired), but virt manager is not
offering me this choice. I also would like to avoid NAT for other reasons.
To you all (4) people who are playing with nested oVirt :
- which is your preferred bare metal OS?
- which is your preferred guest (first virt level) OS?
- which network setups and modes are working best?
Thank you.

Import Glance images in oVirt 4.0
by Davide Ferrari
Hello
all the guides/helps/howto I can find about importing OpenStack Glance's
iamges into ovirt relies on 3.x version and on the "ovirt-image-repository"
present as a storage domain. But in 4.0 I can only see it as an expternal
provider and there's no way to add it a storage domain (I can only add
"Data" domains). So, how can I import existing images into my oVirt 4.0
installation?
Thanks

Upgrade Problems from 3.6 to 4.0.3
by Michael Wagenknecht
Hello,
I try to upgrade my ovirt engine from 3.6.7.5 to 4.0.3.
When I start engine-setup I get the following message:
"Failed to execute stage 'Setup validation': Trying to upgrade from
unsupported versions: 3.5"
My management client is a virtual CentOS 7.2 machine.
I also tried the ovirt-engine migration from 3.6 to 4.0 on a new
installed CentOS 7.2 machine. I got the same message.
Attached is the engine-setup log.

live migration with openvswitch
by Pavel Levshin
Hi.
I'm trying to learn Ovirt 4 and have a problem with it.
My cluster consists of 3 nodes. I use Openvswitch for network
connectivity. I have a HostedEngine and one additional VM in the cluster.
When I try to migrate the VM to another node, it fails. From vdsm and
libvirtd logs I see that proper network interface on destination node
cannot be found. Libvirt tries to find Openvswitch bridge with name like
"vdsmbr_AOYiPtcT". It exists on source node, but it is unique on every
node, because it contains random part. Additionally, it changes on every
reboot.
How this is supposed to work?
