Snapshots not possible
by Christoph Köhler
Hi,
since we have updated to 4.3.7 and another cluster to 4.3.8 snapshots
are not longer possible. In previous version all went well...
° libGfApi enabled
° gluster 6.7.1 on gluster-server and client

ESXi 6.7 as a nested VM on top of oVirt cluster.
by branimirp＠gmail.com
Hello list
I am wondering if anyone has tried this before? I am trying to consolidate my lab to an oVirt cluster which consists of oVirt (4.3.8) and 2 KVM hypervisors (CentOS 7.7.). Among other things, one of my efforts is a small ESXi + vCenter lab. In addition, I have a standalone KVM hypervisor. I can run nested ESXi 6.7 on top of the standalone KVM hypervisor (with nested KVM enabled) without any problem. However, on top of oVirt-controlled KVMs I have some issues. The hypervisors have nested kvm support enabled via vdsm hooks. qemu emulates e1000 for a nested ESXi vm. ESXi installation process goes smooth but as soon as I enable management network and restart it, the nested ESXi cannot communicate with the outside world (DNS ping cannot pass). Also https connection to VMWare ESXi web gui and ping to the ESXi also fail. I noticed on my client machine, that ARP requests are incomplete for ESXI as well. Within oVirt, I see no packet drops in "Network interface" tab for the nested ESXi.
In addition, I have a few, ordinary, non-nested VMs running on the same network as the nested vm and I can normally establish connection to those machines. Additionally, as a test, I created a nested KVM vm on top of the oVirt cluster, same network as the nested ESXi and it works as expected - can spin VMs, can connect to it. The network assigned to the nested ESXi has a "No network filter" vNic profile applied.
I tried to google for a solution but found only this: https://github.com/mechinn/kvmhidden - not sure if this is the solution at all (also, I wonder if this is still up-to-date after 3+ years)? Could I please ask if anyone tried something similar and experienced this problem? Is there any additional configuration that I should apply to the oVirt cluster?
Thank you very much in advance!
Regards,
Branimir

ipmi over lan is allowed, and the user is the root user with admin access.
Also the channel privilege level under ipmi is Administrator.
Will check via cli to see what I get.

Understanding ovirt memory management which appears incorrect
by divan＠santanas.co.za
Hi All,
A question regarding memory management with ovirt. I know memory can
be complicated hence I'm asking the experts. :)
Two examples of where it looks - to me - that memory management from
ovirt perspective is incorrect. This is resulting in us not getting as
much out of a host as we'd expect.
## Example 1:
host: dev-cluster-04
I understand the mem on the host to be:
128G total (physical)
68G used
53G available
56G buff/cache
I understand therefore 53G should still be available to allocate
(approximately, minus a few things).
```
DEV [root@dev-cluster-04:~] # free -m
total used free shared buff/cache available
Mem: 128741 68295 4429 4078 56016 53422

The ovirt engine, compute -> hosts view shows s4-dev-cluster-01 as 93%
memory utilised.
Clicking on the node says:
Physical Memory: 128741 MB total, 119729 MB used, 9012 MB free
So ovirt engine says 9G free. The OS reports 4G free but 53G
available. Surely ovirt should be looking at available memory?
This is a problem, for instance, when trying to run a VM, called
dev-cassandra-01, with mem size 24576, max mem 24576 and mem
guarantee set to 10240 on this host it fails with:
```
Cannot run VM. There is no host that satisfies current scheduling
constraints. See below for details:
The host dev-cluster-04.fnb.co.za did not satisfy internal filter
Memory because its available memory is too low (19884 MB) to run the
VM.
```
To me this looks blatantly wrong. The host has 53G available according
to free -m.
Guessing I'm missing something, unless this is some sort of bug?

## Example 2:
A ovirt host with two VMs:
According to the host, it has 128G of physical memory of which 56G is
used, 69G is buff/cache and 65G is available.

```
However the compute -> hosts ovirt screen shows this node as 94%
memory.
Clicking compute -> hosts -> prod-cluster-01 -> general says:
Physical Memory: 128248 MB total, 120553 MB used, 7695 MB free
Swap Size: 4095 MB total, 600 MB used, 3495 MB free
The physical memory in the above makes no sense to me. Unless it
includes caches which I would think it shouldn't.
This host has just two VMs:
LIVE [root@prod-cluster-01:~] # virsh -c qemu:///system?authfile=/etc/ovirt-hosted-engine/virsh_auth.conf list
Id Name State
----------------------------------------------------
35 prod-box-18 running
36 prod-box-11 running
Moreover each VM has 32G memory set, in every possible place - from
what I can see.
```
LIVE [root@prod-cluster-01:~] # virsh -c qemu:///system?authfile=/etc/ovirt-hosted-engine/virsh_auth.conf dumpxml prod-box-11|grep -i mem
<ovirt-vm:memGuaranteedSize type="int">32768</ovirt-vm:memGuaranteedSize>
<ovirt-vm:minGuaranteedMemoryMb type="int">32768</ovirt-vm:minGuaranteedMemoryMb>
<memory unit='KiB'>33554432</memory>
<currentMemory unit='KiB'>33554432</currentMemory>
<cell id='0' cpus='0-27' memory='33554432' unit='KiB'/>
<suspend-to-mem enabled='no'/>
<model type='qxl' ram='65536' vram='32768' vgamem='16384' heads='1' primary='yes'/>
<memballoon model='virtio'>
</memballoon>
```
prod-box-11 is however set as high performance VM. That could cause a
problem.
Same for the other VM:
```
LIVE [root@prod-cluster-01:~] # virsh -c qemu:///system?authfile=/etc/ovirt-hosted-engine/virsh_auth.conf dumpxml prod-box-18|grep -i mem
<ovirt-vm:memGuaranteedSize type="int">32768</ovirt-vm:memGuaranteedSize>
<ovirt-vm:minGuaranteedMemoryMb type="int">32768</ovirt-vm:minGuaranteedMemoryMb>
<memory unit='KiB'>33554432</memory>
<currentMemory unit='KiB'>33554432</currentMemory>
<cell id='0' cpus='0-27' memory='33554432' unit='KiB'/>
<suspend-to-mem enabled='no'/>
<model type='qxl' ram='65536' vram='32768' vgamem='16384' heads='1' primary='yes'/>
<memballoon model='virtio'>
</memballoon>
```
So I understand that two VMs each having allocated 32G of ram should
consume approx 64G of ram on the host. The host has 128G of ram, so
usage should be at approx 50%. However ovirt is reporting 94% usage.

Spacewalk integration
