[Users] How to configure sharedFS ?
by Deepak C Shetty 18 Jun '12

18 Jun '12

Hi, From vdsm code i can see support for storage domain of type SHARED_FS But when trying to configure a new storage domain, i don't see SHARED_FS as a available domtype filed in the dropdown. I want to use shared FS to connect to try and connect to gluster mount point on my node, but unable to as I don't see that option. From http://www.ovirt.org/wiki/Features/PosixFSConnection - I understand that its the same as sharedFS, so what is PosixFSConnection then, is it just a new interface that provides a wrapper for what is sharedFS now ? The status of this says Done, but I don't see the UI part of this, am I missing something. Also pls let me know if usign sharedFS to make the node use gluster mount is correct or not ? thanx, deepak

Hi Team, I am very new to the Ovirt. I am trying to install the ovirt-engine into one of my vm with the below spec. 1. 2GB Mem 2. 2 CPU 3. 1 NIC 4. 20GB storage 5. Centos 5.5 32bit I am following the http://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/OVirt#Installing_oVirt_Engine_Core installation documentation. I am tryingto meet all the software dependencies throught the source tarball. I installed the maven, postgresql and jboss-as through tar ball. But, when i am trying to compile the webadmin and user portal using the "mvn -e -DskipTests=true clean install -Pgwt-admin,gwt-user" command it fails at the time of web-admin level. As per my under standings the ovir-engine is a java based jboss applicaiton it would not be an issue with the os version. Please help me to understand. Regards, Arumon

Michael, I am interested in the ovirt-shell and I might have missed some earlier discussions. The wiki doesn't say much about how to install it. My questions are: 1. Is this part of ovirt-engine install? 2. Can it entirely replace the engine? Do you have a 'how to get started' page?

[Users] Can someone help me with moving a windows server 2008 to ovirt?
by Dominic Kaiser 01 Mar '12

01 Mar '12

So I have been looking at how to move windows 2008 and R2 servers from vmware esxi4 over to ovirt. I moved my Linux servers over with clonezilla. But windows needs a sysprep and generalize not to mention uninstalling vmtools and vmware drivers. I have done this. I then use clonezilla to put the image onto a thinprovisioned drive on ovirt. It starts to boot then blue screen of death. Am I missing something other than syspreping the windows machine and uninstalling the vmware drivers? Also is there a better way? P.S. Also I have ovirt up in a production envirenment and is running rock solid for the past month great job guys!

[Users] Q on ovirt datacentre and host storage types
by Deepak C Shetty 01 Mar '12

01 Mar '12

Hi, got few basic Qs in my mind. Appreciate a response. 1) Why is it that the data domains must be of the same type as that of datacentre ? What is the goal behind having this constraint ? It seems useful to have a datacentre w/o having any storage restrictions.. i should be able to add hosts w/o worrying abt the storage types... why is it not so... looking to understand the reason behind this design decision. 2) If i have a set of host systems all connected to shared FC storage, is there a way for me to configure LUNs exclusively for each host, meaning have ability to control what LUN each hosts sees ? Can this be done using oVirt today ? My understanding is that this cannot be done via ovirt, zoning of LUNs to host has to be done separately and not via ovirt, is that correct ? 3) If i have to create and run 1000 VMs (say), how can i automate that using ovirt, what is the best way to do that ? thanx, deepak

[Users] Change virtual disk interface
by wdh＠dds.nl 01 Mar '12

01 Mar '12

I have serveral "old" KVM virtual images, all off them using virtio for networking and disks. Trying to import these into my EXPORT datastore ends up with an error: virt-v2v -i libvirt -o rhev -os 10.0.0.3:/nfs/export -n br0 PXE5-test PXE5.img: 100% [=====================================================] virt-v2v: WARNING: Unable to convert this guest operating system. Its storage will be transfered and a domain created for it, but it may not operate correctly without manual reconfiguration. The domain will present all storage devices as ide, all network interfaces as rtl8139 and the host as x86_64. virt-v2v: PXE5-test configured without virtio drivers. How can I avoid these errors? How can I fix this error. After restoring the image, I am able to change the network interface from rtl8139 to Virtio. However; I cannot change the disk. In the admin console going to Virtual Machines --> <virtual machine> --> Virtual Disks --> <disk> --> Edit gives a menu, but the only option I can change is "is bootable". Options like "Interface" are grey and cannot be modified.

[Users] Trying to understand oVirt terminology.
by Sharad Mishra 29 Feb '12

29 Feb '12

While reading oVirt Wiki and other related docs, I came across multiple terms that meant the same thing (at least to me). Please take a look and let me know where I am wrong. 1) Difference between RHEV and oVirt node - oVirt node has VDSM and libvirt whereas RHEV only has libvirt. 2) 'RHEV-M server' is same as 'oVirt Engine Mgmt Server' is same as 'oVirt Engine'. 3) 'oVirt API' is same as 'REST API' is same as 'RHEV-M API' which is same as 'oVirt Engine API'. 4) 'Host Agent' is same as VDSM 5) 'oVirt Node API' is same as VDSM API. Question ) Guest Agent is running on VM. How does it get installed there? Regards, Sharad Mishra

[Users] some ovirt questions
by hai wu 29 Feb '12

29 Feb '12

1. For ovirt, and future rhev, what's the recommended way going forward: ovirt node vs vsdm? 2. For ovirt, and future rhev, libvirt would be supported i think, what's the recommended way in terms of API going forward? libvirt API or REST API? I am not sure what's the difference between these 2. My understanding is libvirt might only be good for one physical host, and REST API would be good for the whole cluster, is this the case?

[Users] Remove and Add host does not work
by Deepak C Shetty 28 Feb '12

28 Feb '12

Hi, I had a host managed via OE, completely working fine. Was even able to create and run VMs off it. I tried removing the host from the OE (put host into maint. mode and then remove) and when i re-discover the same host, OE just keeps seeing it as Non-responsive. I am able to ssh into the host and see that none of the vdsm processes have been started. I tried doing "Confirm host has been rebooted" on the OE, did not help. I tried putting host into maint. mode and re-activating the host, just doesn't help I waited for ~45 mins thinking OE might connect to the host, start vdsm and get me the Up status but it failed. Do i need to manually start vdsm in such a scenario on the host ? Are there ways or methods to have OE forcibly start vdsm on the host ? thanx, deepak

Currently we handle standard platforms (ie- not the node), by using the all-in-one rpm which is currently in work. So when you add a host via the REST you may specify not to reboot it, and you should not specify power-management from properties, which will make sure fencing will not occur.

[Users] engine setup failes using seprate /usr partition

Running engine-setup fails when using a seperate /var partion (seperated from /) In /var/log/ovirt-engine/engine-setup_xxxxxxx.log: 2012-02-18 14:46:16::ERROR::engine-setup::614::root:: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/engine-setup", line 612, in _linkHttpParams os.link(target, link) OSError: [Errno 18] Invalid cross-device link 2012-02-18 14:46:16::ERROR::engine-setup::728::root:: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/engine-setup", line 712, in _editRootWar _linkHttpParams() File "/usr/bin/engine-setup", line 615, in _linkHttpParams raise Exception(output_messages.ERR_EXP_FAILED_ROOT_WAR) Exception: Could not copy ROOT.war configuration into Jboss profile The installer tries to make a hard link to somewhere is /usr to /etc/ovirt-engine, which is not possible since /usr is on a separate disk partition. One can solve it to move /etc/overt-engine to /usr/local/etc/ovirt-engine en create a symbolic link in /etc/ I would like to report a bug, where can do this?

[Users] How to migrate the Ovirt management server/frontend to another machine ? (what files are needed, etc)
by Morgan Cox 28 Feb '12

28 Feb '12

Hi. As we are using Fedora16 as the OS on the frontend I would like to know what files/DB's, etc are needed to migrate the management server/frontend to another machine? I ask as the support life of Fedora is not too long, so for example when FC17 is released I would like to migrate the machine to that - by migrate I mean backup and re-install. Is there any info anywhere showing what files I would need to migrate/backup to a new frontend server? - I assume its going to be a DB and several files - I would just like to know for sure. Ovirt looks really nice btw - thank you to all who made this possible. As a 2nd question - is there an ETA from when RHEL packages are going to be ready? Many regards

[Users] LDAP SimpleAuthentication issue.
by Sharad Mishra 28 Feb '12

28 Feb '12

Hi, I am new to ovirt and LDAP. Looking at adding support for Tivoli Directory Server. Here is a small java/jndi program (not using Spring LDAP) that takes IBM intranet Id and searches the directory to return IBM serial number. ********* Hashtable env = new Hashtable(); env.put("java.naming.factory.initial", "com.sun.jndi.ldap.LdapCtxFactory"); env.put("java.naming.factory.url.pkgs", "com.ibm.jndi"); env.put("java.naming.provider.url", "ldap://<ldap-server>:389"); String dn = null; try{ InitialDirContext dirContext = new InitialDirContext(env); SearchControls constraints = new SearchControls(); String[] attr = new String[] {"uid"}; constraints.setSearchScope(SearchControls.SUBTREE_SCOPE); constraints.setReturningAttributes(attr); NamingEnumeration ne = dirContext.search("ou=<ldpap-server-name>,o=ibm.com", "(mail=" + intranetID + ")", constraints); ************** But when I try to use org.ovirt.engine.core.utils.ipa.SimpleAuthenticationCheck.java, I get a "javax.naming.AuthenticationException: [LDAP: error code 49 - Invalid Credentials]" I am issuing - ldapTemplate.search("", "", contextMapper); Where contextMapper is RHDSUserContextMapper and screenshots of ldapTemplate are attached. There may be issues with the way I have setup filter and baseDN; but that should not give AuthEx. At this time I am looking for ways to get rid of authentication exception. Also, when using simple authentication, why do I need to give password? I can run "ldapsearch -LLL "(mail=<intranetID>)" -h <ldap-server>:389 -x" without password to give me expected results. Thanks Sharad Mishra IBM

[Users] Newly created VM will not start. Bad permissions on its virtual disk.
by Terry Phelps 27 Feb '12

27 Feb '12

I have a newly installed ovirt engine, and node. I created a new VM, gave it a virtual disk, and a network, attached my one ISO that I have out there, and tried to start it. It failed. The admin portal error messages say: 2012-Feb-27, 15:40:10 Failed to run VM oel-test (User: admin@internal). 2012-Feb-27, 15:40:10 Failed to run VM oel-test on Host oravm2. 2012-Feb-27, 15:40:10 VM oel-test is down. Exit message unable to open disk path /rhev/data-center/f465251e- 5679-11e1-ba81-97917332892e/24b70dff-549e-46a6-a863-3a158aa6e9a3/images/c07482cb-818f-47b7-97d1-1409909408bb/e1e57887-e660-4191-87a0-5eac7a44f2d7: Permission denied. 2012-Feb-27, 15:40:08 VM oel-test was started by admin@internal (Host: oravm2). When I go to the node, and check, the permissions do indeed look bad. vdsm:kvm owns everything down through /rhev/data-center/f465251e-5679-11e1-ba81-97917332892e/24b70dff-549e-46a6-a863-3a158aa6e9a3, but below that, it looks bad. Here is a "ls -l" of that last directory: # ls -l total 8 drwxr-xr-x. 2 4294967294 4294967294 4096 Feb 23 16:22 dom_md drwxr-xr-x. 3 4294967294 4294967294 4096 Feb 27 16:22 images And then the owner and group of everything below 'images' is bad, too. Can some help me determine what happened? And how to fix it?

Sorry for the new thread but I just joined the list. The following excerpt from Nathan Stratton's 389DS log shows the same thing that I've been seeing when trying to use IPA. It appears that the directory server type is being misidentified as active directory hence the search on samaccounttype and userprincipalname.
