Valid approach to backup/DR with Geo Replication?

by Michael Kleinpaste

Has anyone used the Geo Replication to facilitate Backups/DR? I'm looking to validate my thoughts since Geo Replication is a function in oVirt now. I'm considering this instead of the snap, clone, export, backup, delete clone, delete snap method. Thoughts? -- *Michael Kleinpaste* Senior Systems Administrator SharperLending, LLC. www.SharperLending.com Michael.Kleinpaste(a)SharperLending.com (509) 324-1230 Fax: (509) 324-1234

[ANN] oVirt 4.1.6 Third Release Candidate is now available

by Lev Veyde

The oVirt Project is pleased to announce the availability of the Third Release Candidate of oVirt 4.1.6, as of September 7th, 2017 This update is the sixth in a series of stabilization updates to the 4.1 series. Starting from 4.1.5 oVirt supports libgfapi [5]. Using libgfapi provides a real performance boost for ovirt when using GlusterFS . Due to a known issue [6], using this will break live storage migration. This is expected to be fixed soon. If you do not use live storage migration you can give it a try. Use [7] for more details on how to enable it. This release is available now for: * Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.3 or later * CentOS Linux (or similar) 7.3 or later This release supports Hypervisor Hosts running: * Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.3 or later * CentOS Linux (or similar) 7.3 or later * oVirt Node 4.1 See the release notes draft [3] for installation / upgrade instructions and a list of new features and bugs fixed. Notes: - oVirt Appliance is already available Additional Resources: * Read more about the oVirt 4.1.6 release highlights: http://www.ovirt.org/release/4.1.6/ * Get more oVirt Project updates on Twitter: https://twitter.com/ovirt * Check out the latest project news on the oVirt blog: http://www.ovirt.org/blog/ [1] https://www.ovirt.org/community/ [2] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/enter_bug.cgi?classification=oVirt [3] http://www.ovirt.org/release/4.1.6/ [4] http://resources.ovirt.org/pub/ovirt-4.1-pre/iso/ [5] http://staged-gluster-docs.readthedocs.io/en/release3.7.0beta1/Features/l...

Cannot create snapshot_illegal disk

by Terry hey

Dear all, Thank you for your time to read this post first. In the same host, there are four virtual machines. Only one virtual machine that i cannot create a snapshot for backup usage. I have no idea what is happening and how to solve it. Would you guys help me and give some suggestion to me? Please kindly check the following links. I think those information including two picture of oVirt web manager, engine.log and vdsm.log, would be useful for finding the issue. *engine.log* https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B8dxamAkVEYdeFBOdlFUbnY1cFU *vdsm.log* https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B8dxamAkVEYddFh6dzc0VkVRMk0 *Two pictures of oVirt web manger:* *Before created the snapshot:* https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B8dxamAkVEYda2d0SzVvc3ZMTFU *After created the snapshot:* https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B8dxamAkVEYdV3lUVUJ0Zy1LeGc I am really looking forward for you guys' reply. Thank you again for your time to assist me. Regards, Terry

Hello there, I am getting this error in the ovirt hosted engine: 2017-09-06 16:45:56,160+01 ERROR [org.ovirt.engine.core.dal.dbbroker.auditloghandling.AuditLogDirector] (pool-7-thread-1) [4ff48065] EVENT_ID: HOST_AVAILABLE_UPDATES_FAILED(839), Correlation ID: null, Call Stack: null, Custom Event ID: -1, Message: *Failed to check for available updates on host host1.bajada.es <http://host1.bajada.es> with message 'SSH authentication to 'root(a)host1.bajada.es <root(a)host1.bajada.es>' failed.

cpu, core and thread mappings

by Gianluca Cecchi

Hello, I was talking with a guy expert in VMware and discussing performance of VMs in respect of virtual cpus assigned to them in relation with mapping with the real hw of the hypervisor underneath. One of the topics was numa usage and its overheads in case of a "too" big VM, in terms of both number of vcpus and memory amount. Eg: suppose host has 2 intel based sockets, with 6 cores and HT enabled and has 96Gb of ram (distributed 48+48 between the 2 processors) suppose I configure a VM with 16 vcpus (2:4:2): would be the mapping respected at physical level or only a sort of "hint" for the hypervisor? Can I say that it would perform better if I configure it 12 vcpus and mapping 1:6:2, because it can stay all inside one cpu? And what if I define a VM with 52Gb of ram? Can I say that it would perform in general better if I try to get it all in one cpu related memory slots (eg not more than 48Gb in my example)? Are there any documents going more deeply in these sort of considerations? Also, if one goes and sizes so that the biggest VM is able to all-stay inside one cpu-memory, does it make sense to say that it will perform better in this scenario a cluster composed by 4 nodes, each one with 1 socket and 48Gb of memory instead of a cluster of 2 nodes, each one with 2 sockets and 96Gb of ram? Hope I have clarified my questions/doubts. Thanks in advance for any insight, Gianluca

Slow booting host - restart loop

by Bernardo Juanicó

Hi everyone, I installed 2 hosts on a new cluster and the servers take a really long to boot up (about 8 minutes). When a host crashes or is powered off the ovirt-manager starts it via power management, since the servers takes all that time to boot up the ovirt-manager thinks it failed to start and proceeds to reboot it, several times before giving up, when the server is finally started (about 20 minutes after the failure) I changed some engine variables with engine-config trying to set a higher timeout, but the problem persists. Any ideas?? Regards, Bernardo PGP Key <http://pgp.mit.edu/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0x695E5BCE34263F5B> Skype: mattraken

VMs going in to non-responding state

by Satheesaran Sundaramoorthi

Hi All, I have created a converged setup with cluster having both virt and gluster capability. There are three hosts in this cluster, and this cluster also has enabled 'native access to gluster domain' which enables VM to use libgfapi access mechanism. With this setup, I see VMs created landing up in non-reponding state after sometime. I have raised bug[1] for this issue. Request for help with this issue [1] - https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1488863 Advance Thanks. -- Satheesaran S ( sas )
