VM auto start with Host?
by m.skrzetuski＠gmail.com
Hello everyone,
please tell me it is possible to auto start all VMs together with a Host. How do I configure this?
I found some RFEs and Bugzilla Bugs and Redhat engineers promising this but no docs about how to enable it.
Kind regards

I do use automatic migration policy.
The main question you have to solve is:
1. Why the nodes became 'Non-operational' .Usually this happens when the management interface (in your case HoatedEngine VM) could not reach the nodes over the management network.
By default, management is going over the ovirtmgmt network. I guess you have created the new network. Marked that new network as management network and then the switch was off , causing 'Non-Operational state'.
2. Migrating VMs is usually a safe approach, but this behavior is quite strange. If a node ia Non-operational -> there could be no successful migration.
3. Some of the VMs got paused due to storage issue. Are you using GlusterFS, NFS or iSCSI ? If yes, you need to clarify why you lost your storage.
I guess for now you can mark each VM to be migrated only manually (VM -> Edit) and if they are critical VMs , set a high Availability from each VM's Edit options.
In such case, if a node fails, the VMs will be restarted on another node.
4. Have you setup node fencing ? For example APC, iLo, iDRAC and other fencing mechanisms can allow the HostedEngine use another Host as fencing proxy and to reset the problematic Hypervisor.
P.S.: You can define the following alias in '~/.bashrc' :
alias virsh='virsh -c qemu:///system?authfile=/etc/ovirt-hosted-engine/virsh_auth.conf'
Then you can verify your VMs even when a HostedEngine is down:
'virsh list --all'

Re: Cluster CPU type update
by Strahil
Just a question from curiosity.
Can't we just define second cluster and move each VM from old cluster to the new one ?

How do I do bridged networking?
by m.skrzetuski＠gmail.com
Hello everyone,
how do I set up bridged networking? I want to give my VMs direct access to the network, that is: they should get an IP from DHCP and appear as "normal" nodes. This is working out of the box for Proxmox. I was not able to find documentation that would make it possible to configure. Can I configure it via https://github.com/oVirt/ovirt-ansible-infra?
Kind regards

Usage statistics or graph for an oVirt environment?
by Victor Hooi
Hi,
Is there an easy way to generate a dashboard or some kind of graph to track
the usage of an oVirt environment?
This would be things like how many VMs were created, or started, how many
successful logins, how many clones etc.
(Use case is to justify an internal environment/use case)
Thanks,
Victor

Re: Power management and storage domains error when running Ansible tasks!
by Strahil
You need to speciify the method to be used for power fencing - that could be HPE's iLO, Dell's iDRAC, APC UPS or something else.

This is the right way to do that IMO
