[Users] VM Tools
by Andres Gonzalez 09 Jul '12

09 Jul '12

Hi !! Reading the oVirt installation guide says that when a local ISO storage domain is configured during installation the virtio-win ISO and Virtual Floppy Drive (VFD) images, containing the VirtIO drivers for Windows virtual machines, are automatically copied to the new storage domain. The rhev-tools-setup ISO, containing the oVirt Guest Tools for Windows virtual machines are also copied to the domain. I'm running oVirt under FC 16, and I don't have those packages installed, what could it be ? I downloaded from http://alt.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/virtio-win/latest/images/bin/ the iso file but it doesn't have the floppy file (useful for the Windows setup installation) and also drivers for Windows 2008. Under RHEV when having a Windows VM at the admin GUI you can see what applications are installed, IP address, who's logged in, etc., on the VM. This is possible on oVirt too ? Is there any guest tool for Linux VMs ? (RHEL or CentOS) Thanks! Regards.- -- AGD

[Users] oVirt 3.1, Gluster + non-IP storage networks
by Justin Clift 09 Jul '12

09 Jul '12

Hi all, Saw the ongoing thread on oVirt 3.1 and Gluster, discussing how to handle/portray storage networks in the Engine UI. What's the right way to approach this, for people who use non-IP based storage networks? (Infiniband, Fibre Channel, etc). Regards and best wishes, Justin Clift -- Aeolus Community Manager http://www.aeolusproject.org

[Users] HostNic Addition with IP Address
by Rahul Upadhyaya 09 Jul '12

09 Jul '12

Hi Folks, I am facing issues while adding NIC with Static I.P. to host using the oVirt Python-Bindings. There are two api's 1) HostNics.add :Here it requires binding param for interface bonding as a compulsory param. I dont want to bond more than one interfaces for a network while creating network each time. 2) HostNic.attach: This lets me attach the NIC but does not let me put static IP address to it as soon as I add it. I am using a workaround of updating the NIC with the IP information, but it requires me to put all the hosts on maintenance and shut-down all the running VMs which again is not the best way of doing it. Is it not supported by the API that at the time of addition of the hostNIC we can specify the IP address or is it something that I am missing ? Also,I see that this operation is supported from the manager UI . -- Regards, Rahul =======================================================

Good Day, I am using Ovirt version 3.1 and I can't seem to get a network connection in any of the VMs. I tried to setup a network etc but it doesn't show the option when I try to configure the adapter. Is there something I am missing? Thanks! -- Jonathan H Cox

Dreyou, would it be impolite of me if I ask you (and everyone who cares about ovirt) to send patches like this to upstream first?

[Users] iSCSI discovery not showing all LUNs - oVirt 3.1
by Trey Dockendorf 06 Jul '12

06 Jul '12

I have a Promise M300i iSCSI with 2 LUNs. A 2TB LUN with ID 2260-0001-557c-af0a and a 4TB LUN with ID 22d9-0001-553e-4d6a. What's strange, is the very first time I ran discovery I saw both LUNs. I checked the 2TB LUN and storage failed to add, I don't have logs at this time, but I went back to repeat the process and now only 1 LUN shows in the GUI (see attached image). Also the size it reports is way off. Looking at VDSM logs, I get this output when doing the login to a target {'devList': [ {'vendorID': 'Promise', 'capacity': '2188028149760', 'fwrev': '0227', 'partitioned': False, 'vgUUID': 'AZ1iMt-gzBD-2uug-xTih-1z0b-PqPy-xSP0A4', 'pathlist': [ { 'initiatorname': 'default', 'connection': '192.168.203.100', 'iqn': 'iqn.1994-12.com.promise.xxx', 'portal': '1', 'password': '******', 'port': '3260' } ], 'logicalblocksize': '512', 'pathstatus': [ { 'physdev': 'sde', 'type': 'iSCSI', 'state': 'active', 'lun': '0' } ], 'devtype': 'iSCSI', 'physicalblocksize': '512', 'pvUUID': 'v2N3ok-wrki-OQQn-1XFL-w69n-8wAF-rmCFWt', 'serial': 'SPromise_VTrak_M300i_000000000000000000000000F08989F89FFF6C42', 'GUID': '222600001557caf0a', 'productID': 'VTrak M300i' }, { 'vendorID': 'Promise', 'capacity': '20246190096384', 'fwrev': '0227', 'partitioned': False, 'vgUUID': '', 'pathlist': [ { 'initiatorname': 'default', 'connection': '192.168.203.100', 'iqn': 'iqn.1994-12.com.promise.xxx', 'portal': '1', 'password': '******', 'port': '3260' } ], 'logicalblocksize': '2048', 'pathstatus': [ { 'physdev': 'sdf', 'type': 'iSCSI', 'state': 'active', 'lun': '1' } ], 'devtype': 'iSCSI', 'physicalblocksize': '2048', 'pvUUID': '', 'serial': 'SPromise_VTrak_M300i_000000000000000000000000DA3FF8D8099662D7', 'GUID': '222d90001553e4d6a', 'productID': 'VTrak M300i' } ] } In that output both LUNs are seen. I couldn't tell from the code what format the "capacity" is in, but now the interface shows only the LUN with the "4d6a" GUID as being 18TB. I've attached the VDSM Logs from the point of selecting my datacenter to after clicking "Login". Any suggestions? node - vdsm-4.10.0-2.el6.x86_64 Thanks - Trey

[Users] What is it going to take to get EL6 builds?
by Robert Middleswarth 06 Jul '12

06 Jul '12

I know there are a few things that don't work under oVirt on EL6 but there are unofficial builds out there and they seem to work pretty well. What is the major stopper from getting EL6 builds? Is it just a mater of getting patches submitted for building the spec files? Is there a need for EL 6 based slaves? Is there a concern about the features that don't work like Live Migration? I guess a good starting point is to build a todo list of what has to be done. Thanks Robert
