[Users] call for suggests on oVirt authentication back-end (directory service, etc.)
by Alan Johnson 10 Oct '12

10 Oct '12

Thanks to Tim Hildred, I found out about the need to have a directory server. Before I embark on this path, I thought I could ping the community to get a since for what is common, easy, and/or available to best suit our wants. First, what's the easiest one to setup and use? Something with a simple GUI would be desirable: a webmin module perhaps? Most ideal would be something that is in line with our desire to move towards single sign on, ultimately authenticating against Google Apps. Does Google provide something supported? Is there something that can proxy google apps auth to an oVirt supported protocol? Alternately, we have an LDAP server, but it does NOT store passwords, and as such, does not provide authentication for anything. Will oVirt store passwords for users created from such an LDAP service, or does LDAP need to be the authority as well? Finally, we also have NIS setup (thought we hope to get away from that soon), so some means of authenticating through the systems local PAM system would be the next most convenient. These are just thoughts and I am completely open to suggestions. Thanks in advance for any input! =) _______________ Alan Johnson alan(a)datdec.com

[Users] Failed to import Vm host to ovirt
by Thomas Scofield 10 Oct '12

10 Oct '12

While trying to import a virtual machine I got very generic error message in the web interface "Failed to import Vm host to ovirt", in the engine.log I got this java exception below. After doing some digging I realized the problem was I did not map the network bridge names from my previous machine to the bridge name used on the current machine. After modifing the master/vms/e94464d3-ae44-45ac-b09b-0e17f784a378/e94464d3-ae44-45ac-b09b-0e17f784a378.ovf file and updating the references to the bridge name the import worked as expected. Could more information be added to the error message to indicate the source of the problem? Are there any plans to allow the network configuration to be modified as part of the import? 2012-09-10 17:04:29,436 INFO [org.ovirt.engine.core.vdsbroker.irsbroker.GetVmsInfoVDSCommand] (ajp--0.0.0.0-8009-3) START, GetVmsInfoVDSCommand(storagePoolId = 04f7efb6-f9f8-11e1-af92-6805ca00c345, ignoreFailoverLimit = false, compatabilityVersion = null, storageDomainId = 913e496b-b0a3-4b2e-a481-7d1a101c89db, vmIdList = null), log id: 223efce6 2012-09-10 17:04:29,446 INFO [org.ovirt.engine.core.vdsbroker.irsbroker.GetVmsInfoVDSCommand] (ajp--0.0.0.0-8009-3) FINISH, GetVmsInfoVDSCommand, log id: 223efce6 2012-09-10 17:04:29,470 INFO [org.ovirt.engine.core.vdsbroker.irsbroker.GetImageDomainsListVDSCommand] (ajp--0.0.0.0-8009-3) START, GetImageDomainsListVDSCommand(storagePoolId = 04f7efb6-f9f8-11e1-af92-6805ca00c345, ignoreFailoverLimit = false, compatabilityVersion = null, imageGroupId = b9d80d3d-0b3d-4249-8f12-3bc7e8b93464), log id: 682b1cec 2012-09-10 17:04:29,483 INFO [org.ovirt.engine.core.vdsbroker.irsbroker.GetImageDomainsListVDSCommand] (ajp--0.0.0.0-8009-3) FINISH, GetImageDomainsListVDSCommand, return: [], log id: 682b1cec 2012-09-10 17:04:29,484 INFO [org.ovirt.engine.core.vdsbroker.irsbroker.DoesImageExistVDSCommand] (ajp--0.0.0.0-8009-3) START, DoesImageExistVDSCommand(storagePoolId = 04f7efb6-f9f8-11e1-af92-6805ca00c345, ignoreFailoverLimit = false, compatabilityVersion = null, storageDomainId = 913e496b-b0a3-4b2e-a481-7d1a101c89db, imageGroupId = b9d80d3d-0b3d-4249-8f12-3bc7e8b93464, imageId = 60fb55ea-1450-4f3e-b3ac-4ba0db3e80ab), log id: 6677ff61 2012-09-10 17:04:29,548 INFO [org.ovirt.engine.core.vdsbroker.irsbroker.DoesImageExistVDSCommand] (ajp--0.0.0.0-8009-3) FINISH, DoesImageExistVDSCommand, return: true, log id: 6677ff61 2012-09-10 17:04:29,602 INFO [org.ovirt.engine.core.bll.ImportVmCommand] (pool-3-thread-49) [30fbeac] Running command: ImportVmCommand internal: false.

Hi, I've started testing ovirt 3.1 in my lab environment and found some strange behaviour/bug: when i create vm and set it to boot from network - first time it boots fine > 14:23:43.718613 IP 0.0.0.0.68 > 255.255.255.255.67: BOOTP/DHCP, > Request from 52:54:00:c7:76:50, length 395 pxe works, ip address received and machine boots, but if I'll restart it via guest command 'reboot' (i.e not through stop/start from ovirt admin interface) - pxe boot fails, ipxe just states timeout on dhcp requests and with tcpdump i even cannot see any dhcp requests at all! instead of that i get some weird malformed packets: > 14:21:38.529244 00:00:00:00:ff:ff > 00:00:00:00:00:00, ethertype > Unknown (0xffff), length 447: > 0x0000: ffff 5254 00c7 7650 0800 4500 01a7 0322 ..RT..vP..E...." > 0x0010: 0000 4011 7625 0000 0000 ffff ffff 0044 ..@.v%.........D > 0x0020: 0043 0193 02f7 0101 0600 2c78 5053 000c .C........,xPS.. > 0x0030: 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 ................ > 0x0040: 0000 5254 00c7 7650 0000 0000 0000 0000 ..RT..vP........ > 0x0050: 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 ................ > 0x0060: 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 ................ > 0x0070: 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 ................ > 0x0080: 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 ................ > 0x0090: 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 ................ > 0x00a0: 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 ................ > 0x00b0: 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 ................ > 0x00c0: 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 ................ > 0x00d0: 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 ................ > 0x00e0: 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 ................ > 0x00f0: 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 ................ > 0x0100: 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 ................ > 0x0110: 0000 6382 5363 3501 0139 0205 c05d 0200 ..c.Sc5..9...].. > 0x0120: 005e 0301 0201 3c20 5058 4543 6c69 656e .^....<.PXEClien > 0x0130: 743a 4172 6368 3a30 3030 3030 3a55 4e44 t:Arch:00000:UND > 0x0140: 493a 3030 3230 3031 4d04 6950 5845 3715 I:002001M.iPXE7. > 0x0150: 0103 0607 0c0f 112b 3c42 4380 8182 8384 .......+<BC..... > 0x0160: 8586 87af cbaf 2db1 0501 1af4 1000 2201 ......-.......". > 0x0170: 0119 0101 2101 0118 0101 1101 0113 0101 ....!........... > 0x0180: 1701 0115 0101 2701 0110 0102 1201 01eb ......'......... > 0x0190: 0301 0000 3d07 0152 5400 c776 5061 1100 ....=..RT..vPa.. > 0x01a0: 21b3 bc0f e882 4017 9c20 f3e5 0afd 0547 !.....@........G > 0x01b0: ff .

Hello, use of spice in windows xp and 7 environments possible? Where can I find some tips on how I can install on windows spice? Att, -- “Encarada do ponto de vista da juventude, a vida parece um futuro indefinidamente longo, ao passo que, na velhice, ela parece um passado deveras curto. Assim, a vida no seu início se apresenta do mesmo modo que as coisas quando as olhamos através de um binóculo usado ao contrário; mas, ao seu final, ela se parece com as coisas tal qual são vistas quando o binóculo é usado de modo normal. Um homem precisa ter envelhecido e vivido bastante para perceber como a vida é curta”. (Poema de Arthur Schopenhauer)

[Users] Ceph / rbd and ovirt
by Josh Logan 08 Oct '12

08 Oct '12

I'm currently setting up an ovirt cluster and so far it looks good. I like the integration with Foreman http://theforeman.org/ . I would like to use Ceph / rbd for my storage. I saw some mention of patches coming in May, but I did not find any new posts. What is the status of this work? Is there some patches I can try out? I have a working Ceph cluster and a working ovirt cluster, I just need a way to bring them together. Thanks, JOSH

[Users] Run Once won't change boot sequence
by Alexandre Santos 08 Oct '12

08 Oct '12

Hello again, to install my VMs, I create them without CDROM and booting firstly from the HD. Then I go and choose "Run Once" and choose the ISO I want to use and boot from CDROM, on boot options. After installing the OS, I reboot and the first boot is again the CDROM. I have to shutdown the VM so the configuration chosen with HD being the first boot option is again the default. Alex

[Users] Authentication for REST APIs?
by Brian Vetter 08 Oct '12

08 Oct '12

I was trying to use both the rest api to view a user's vm information. I found that the REST APIs always returned an authentication error if the account I had logged into was not an ovirt administrator. I am guessing that either (a) I am using the wrong URL in the REST api or (b) you must be some kind of admin to access the REST APIs. I noticed the same behavior when I was using the ovirt-shell tool. For example, I was trying to follow the instructions in http://wiki.ovirt.org/wiki/How_to_Connect_to_SPICE_Console_Without_Portal to get the list of VMs (presumably for the user that is logging in), I get an unauthorized error. If the user account I login with in the curl or ovirt-shell connect statement is an admin, I get the list of VMs. So my question here is does the REST-API need admin privileges or am I using a url that requires admin privileges whereas some others don't. And if it is the latter, is there somewhere that documents the various rest api resources? For example, to go back to the "How to connect to Spice console ..." article, how would one use the REST API to fetch one's virtual machines, their status, and connection info for them? Thanks, Brian

However I have noted that with a Native Windows install and the Activex Remote Viewer version 0.5.3 that alot of guests have mouse issues w/o spice vdagent or the windows spice agent in place (very annoying during LFC guests with no knowledge of "spice mice"). Windows installs can be slipstreamed with the spice drivers to fix this but thats really a pain. Linux guests however not as easy. This actually seems to a repeat of this issue: http://lists.ovirt.org/pipermail/users/2012-February/000351.html (for which a fix was applied to windows spicec + activex NOT remote-viewer) possible regression? Using the usbtablet custom vdsm hook does indeed solve issues with guests that encounter this issue. I have noted it within older linux guests (no surprise they know nothing of a spice mouse), windows guests, solaris guests, some of the older opensuse and ubuntu as well as fedora. The most confusing one was RHEL 6.x which without the spice vdagent loaded will experience the cursor jumping in and out of the window or randomly on the spice display. I note the one downside of the usbtablet is that power users are able to view custom hooks in the PUP UI, but cannot set them as only the "admin role" not "user role" can do this. That is to say the power user can look at and even set the hook but is stopped short of committing it to the VM settings. - DHC On Fri, Oct 5, 2012 at 5:18 AM, Christophe Fergeau <cfergeau(a)redhat.com>wro= te: > On Thu, Sep 13, 2012 at 12:26:43PM +0300, Itamar Heim wrote: > > On 09/13/2012 10:24 AM, Karli Sj?berg wrote: > > > > > >13 sep 2012 kl. 01.21 skrev Dead Horse: > > > > > >>Thank you! glad to be able to help ;) > > >> > > >>As Itamar mentioned if you are running the spice client inside a VM > > >>(dunno if this is case) you will need the guest paravirtual driver > > >>and/or services for mouse handling.

However I have noted that with a Native Windows install and the Activex Remote Viewer version 0.5.3 that alot of guests have mouse issues w/o spice vdagent or the windows spice agent in place (very annoying during LFC guests with no knowledge of "spice mice"). Windows installs can be slipstreamed with the spice drivers to fix this but thats really a pain. Linux guests however not as easy. This actually seems to a repeat of this issue: http://lists.ovirt.org/pipermail/users/2012-February/000351.html (for which a fix was applied to windows spicec + activex NOT remote-viewer) possible regression? Using the usbtablet custom vdsm hook does indeed solve issues with guests that encounter this issue. I have noted it within older linux guests (no surprise they know nothing of a spice mouse), windows guests, solaris guests, some of the older opensuse and ubuntu as well as fedora. The most confusing one was RHEL 6.x which without the spice vdagent loaded will experience the cursor jumping in and out of the window or randomly on the spice display. I note the one downside of the usbtablet is that power users are able to view custom hooks in the PUP UI, but cannot set them as only the "admin role" not "user role" can do this. That is to say the power user can look at and even set the hook but is stopped short of committing it to the VM settings. - DHC On Fri, Oct 5, 2012 at 5:18 AM, Christophe Fergeau <cfergeau(a)redhat.com>wro= te: > On Thu, Sep 13, 2012 at 12:26:43PM +0300, Itamar Heim wrote: > > On 09/13/2012 10:24 AM, Karli Sj?berg wrote: > > > > > >13 sep 2012 kl. 01.21 skrev Dead Horse: > > > > > >>Thank you! glad to be able to help ;) > > >> > > >>As Itamar mentioned if you are running the spice client inside a VM > > >>(dunno if this is case) you will need the guest paravirtual driver > > >>and/or services for mouse handling.

[Users] Console and keyboard setup on VNC
by Alexandre Santos 05 Oct '12

05 Oct '12

Hello all, first post here :-) When using VNC as the console to access the VM I can't use the portuguese keyboard and see special characters. I tried it with VMs running Fedora, CentOS and Debian. If I ssh the VM, everything is correct on the terminal console. Is this a issue from oVirt or from the VNC server running behind (I guess it's the second). Any help? TYA Alex

[Users] oVirt-engine and UserPortal "cluster"
by Brian Vetter 04 Oct '12

04 Oct '12

I've been scouring through the install notes and the architecture documents but didn't find my answer. Is there a way to "cluster" or replicate the userportal app or is it strictly a single instance? Any thoughts to the scale of a large VDI system with 10,000 desktops and their VMs and how that impacts the ovirt-engine and the user-portal app? I figure it has been discussed, but using the word cluster in a google search of the wiki results in a lot of hits, none of them that I saw that are to do with clustering the server, just the virtual machine nodes.

[Users] Logical networks in 3.1 on CentOS 6.3
by Frank Soyer 04 Oct '12

04 Oct '12

Hi list, I'm testing oVirt on 3 hosts as a possible replacement for Proxmox. I've some trouble to understand the network part of the config (for beginning, I'll have some other questions about glusterfs later :)) and need some lights. The environment : - Engine host, no-virtualisation capability, one NIC eth0 - 2 nodes, virtualisation OK, 2 NICs eth0,eth1 - oVirt 3.1 on CentOS 6.3. The installation of engine/nodes was OK, no problem at all on the 3 nodes. The NIC eth0 on all hosts was manually bound on a bridge "ovirtmgmt", respectively on 10.0.0.1, .2, .3 ovirmgmt appears on the console as the management network, no problem, just a first question : it is marked as "VM network", and no way to change that. What if I want that this network to be dedicated on physical hosts only ? Second, I tried to create a logical network, call it "vmnetwork", linked it to datacenter and cluster. In the network interface configuration window on the hosts, I can link vmnetwork on eth0, but when validating an error occurs saying that eth0 is already linked to ovirmgmt. So I can't have management network and vm network on the same NIC , even on a virtual nic (tried with vlan=0 and vlan=10 on vmnetwork, same thing) ? Third, is this a bug when I come back to the configuration window, that the networks (for ovirmgmt and vmnetwork) return to "DHCP" ? If I forgot to re-check the static network, the host lose all it's network config and is declared non-responsive then rebooted..... Bad ! Thank you for helping me to understand. Frank

[Users] Question about network card order
by Kevin Maziere Aubry 03 Oct '12

03 Oct '12

Hello My first email on the mailing, I hope the first one of a longue serie. The email concerns a Network Card order issue for which I like to report a have your advises. I've made a template which contains 2 network cards, Each one bridge on different vlan network. When I create a VM from this template, the network card mac address assignation is random... so that by default my fedora assign eth0 to the smallest mac address, and so on for eth1/eth2 ... But no way to define network card order in template, so that sometime the smallest mac address is on eth0, sometime on eth1 (and in fact more often on eth1), sometime my VM works, sometime I have to destroy and recreate network interfaces. Is there a workaround or anything else ?

[Users] fw: Migrating ovirt-engine to new server
by Neil 03 Oct '12

03 Oct '12

Sorry to repost(kind of) but I'm really battling here and I need to get the VM's up and running again. I've given up on the idea of migrating the database across due to all sorts of problems encountered and I've instead done a completely NEW fresh ovirt-engine install and I've got one host added and running. How do I go about detaching my storage datacentre from my old ovirt-engine, and re-attaching it to my new ovirt-engine running on my new server? I'm running FC with multiple LUNS all assigned in one datacentre called "linux" and I can't detach it because it says "Cannot detach Storage Domain while VMs/Templates reside on it." My entire datacentre is in maintenance at the moment which consists of only 3 VM's(4TB's in total), my host only has a 16GB SDD in it, so exporting to a local NFS mount is not an option. Can I safely remove the VM's(as instructed above) by going to "VM's" and clicking remove and then will I be able to detach the datacentre and then re-attach it to the new ovirt-engine? Bearing in mind that I'm running a fresh install of ovirt-engine and I haven't copied the database across? Is it a matter of re-attaching the LUNS that are currently assigned because I can see the LUNS when I try and add a new FC storage domain, however the LUNS currently attached to the old ovirt-engine are greyed out and can't be selected. Any assistance is greatly appreciated. Thank you. Regards. Neil Wilson.

[Users] nested KVM
by Nathanaël Blanchet 03 Oct '12

Hello, I've tried many times to run a node as a guest in ovirt following http://wiki.ovirt.org/wiki/Vdsm_Developers#Running_Node_as_guest_-_Nested_K… . The result is that I'm able to register such a host in engine, but it is impossible to start any vm on it. If I boot on an ISO, I can see the first prompt and move between the items. But since I begin the installation I have a blank screen and the vm goes into pause mode in vit-manager. Then I have no way else than rebooting the hypervisor guest because it is impossible to resume. When I get logs on the real host, I can find this : arning : x86Decode:1306 : Preferred CPU model Westmere not allowed by hypervisor; closest supported model will be used Sep 25 17:11:59 khamsin libvirtd[23053]: 2012-09-25 15:11:59.384+0000: 23054: warning : x86Decode:1306 : Preferred CPU model Westmere not allowed by hypervisor; closest supported model will be used Sep 25 17:12:19 khamsin libvirtd[23053]: 2012-09-25 15:12:19.150+0000: 23055: warning : x86Decode:1306 : Preferred CPU model Westmere not allowed by hypervisor; closest supported model will be used Sep 25 17:45:48 khamsin libvirtd[23053]: 2012-09-25 15:45:48.342+0000: 23058: warning : x86Decode:1306 : Preferred CPU model Westmere not allowed by hypervisor; closest supported model will be used Sep 25 18:07:05 khamsin libvirtd[23053]: 2012-09-25 16:07:05.834+0000: 23058: warning : x86Decode:1306 : Preferred CPU model Nehalem not allowed by hypervisor; closest supported model will be used Sep 25 18:44:47 khamsin libvirtd[23053]: 2012-09-25 16:44:47.340+0000: 23057: warning : x86Decode:1306 : Preferred CPU model Penryn not allowed by hypervisor; closest supported model will be used As you can see, I have tried many cpu type for launching this guest hypervisor, but none of them is accepted by the hypervisor.

[Users] Migrating ovirt-engine to new server
by Neil 03 Oct '12

03 Oct '12

Hi guys, Please could someone assist me. I'm trying to migrate my ovirt-engine(3.1 but very early release) to latest 3.1 on new machine(both Centos 6.3 dreyou repo). After the intial engine-setup I can log into webadmin without a problem. I then imported my DB from the old server (psql -U postgres -d engine -w < /root/dump.sql) and start the ovirt-engine again, but now when try and browse to the webadmin I don't get anything at all, no web page displays at all, I'm guessing that there are lots of additional steps that I'm missing, so perhaps this is normal. I haven't attached any logs etc because I'm fairly certain that I'm missing some vital steps before I can actually log into my system using the new DB. I've changed the hostname of the machine -- previous name was node02.blabla.com and now it's backup.blabla.com does this matter? My guess is the certificates won't work with the DB now, is there any way to get around this, or should I rather just use the same hostname on the new server? I also haven't copied any physical files or configs across yet, which files/folders do I need? I'm using a FC SAN so I'm assuming I won't need to export my VM's, it should just be a matter of detaching my main storage domain and then re-attaching it on the new server? I see when I try and detach from the old server it says "can't export while there are Templates/VM's on the system" must I hit the remove button on each VM on the old system in order to detach and then attach to on the new system? (presume it will only remove the VM's from the old system and not actually delete the VM image?) I'm using no templates, so I'm assuming these don't need to be exported/imported? Sorry for all the questions, any help is greatly appreciated! Regards. Neil Wilson.

[Users] General challenges w/ Ovirt 3.1
by Hans Lellelid 02 Oct '12

02 Oct '12

Hi - I apologize in advance that this email is less about a specific problem and more a general inquiry as to the most recommended / likely-to-be-successful way path. I am on my third attempt to get an ovirt system up and running (using a collection of spare servers, that meet the requirements set out in the user guide). I'm looking to implement a viable evolution to the unscalable stove-piped ESXi servers (i.e. which are free). And while I'm happy to learn more about the underpinnings, I recognize that to really be a replacement for these VMWare solutions, this has to mostly "Just Work" -- and that's eventually why I've given up on previous occasions (after a couple days of work) and decided to revisit in 6 months. My basic server setup is: - oVirt Mgmt (engine) - oVirt HV1 (hypervisor node) - oVirt HV2 (hypervisor node) - oVirt Disk (NFS share) 1st attempt: I installed the latest stable Node image (2.5.1) on the HV1 and HV2 machines and re-installed the Mgmt server w/ Fedora 17 (64-bit) and all the latest stable engine packages. For the first time, Node installation and Engine setup all went flawlessly. But I could not mount the NFS shares. Upon deeper research, this appeared to be the bug mentioned about NFS; I was *sure* that the official stable Node image would have had a downgraded kernel, but apparently not :) I have no idea if there is an officially supported way to downgrade the kernel on the Node images; the warnings say that any changes will not persist, so I assume there is not. (I am frankly a little surprised that the official stable packages & ISO won't actually work to mount NFS shares, which is the recommended storage strategy and kinda critical to this thing!?) . FWIW, the oVirt Disk system is a CentOS 6.2 system. 2nd attempt: I re-installed the nodes as Fedora 17 boxes and downgraded the kernels to 3.4.6-2. Then I connected these from the Engine (specifying the root pw) and watched the logs while things installed. After reboot neither of the servers were reachable. Sitting in front of the console, I realized that networking was refusing to start; several errors printed to the console looked like: device-mapper: table: 253:??: multipath: error getting device (I don't remember exactly what was after the "253:") calling "multipath -ll" yielded no output, calling "multipath -r" re-issued the above errors Obviously the Engine did a lot of work there, setting up the bridge, etc. I did not spend a long time trying to untangle this. (In retrospect, I will go back and probably spend more time trying to track this down, but it's difficult since I lose network & have to stand at the console in the server room :)) 3rd attempt: I re-installed the nodes with Fedora 17 and attempted to install VDSM manually by RPM. Despite following the instructions to turn off ssl (ssl=false in /etc/vdsm/vdsm.conf), I am seeing SSL "unknown cert" errors from the python socket server with every attempt of the engine to talk to the node. I added the CA from the master into the /etc/pki/vdsm (since that was the commented-out path in the config file as the trust store) and added the server's cert here too, but have no idea what form these files should take to be respected by the python server -- or if they are respected at all. I couldn't find this documented anywhere, so I left the servers spewing logs for the weekend figuring that I'll either give up or try another strategy on Monday. So is there a general strategy that should get me to a working system here? I suspect that the Node image is not a good path, since it appears to be incompatible with NFS mounting. The Fedora-17-installed-by-engine sounds good, but there's a lot of magic there & it obviously completely broke my systems. Is that where I should focus my efforts? Should I ditch NFS storage and just try to get something working with local-only storage on the nodes? (Shared storage would be a primary motivation for moving to ovirt, though.) I am very excited for this to work for me someday. I think it has been frustrating to have such sparse (or outdated?) documentation and such fundamental problems/bugs/configuration challenges. I'm using pretty standard (Dell) commodity servers (SATA drives, simple RAID setups, etc.). Sorry for no log output, I can provide more of that when back at work on Monday, but this was more of a general inquiry on where I should plan to take this. Thanks in advance! Hans
