[Users] ovirt 3.1 engine install fails - fedora 17 with selinux disabled
by David Elliott
Hi
Thanks to all for the great work getting 3.1 out the door, 3.0 is working
well for us and looking forward to playing with all the new features.
At the moment, am having a small problem during initial engine setup where
it fails if selinux is configured as "disabled" - is this intended
behaviour?
- selinux disabled
- reports nfs domain setup as failed
[root@ovirt-m-2 ~]# engine-setup
--answer-file=ovirt-answers.ovirt-m-2.shazamteam.com
-- snip-----
Configuring the Default ISO Domain... [ ERROR ]
-- snip
[root@ovirt-m-2 ~]# engine-cleanup
- After setting CONFIG_NFS=no, in the answer file; it gives an explicit
error about selinux during the HTTPD phase (OVERRIDE_HTTPD_CONFIG=yes)
[root@ovirt-m-2 ~]# engine-setup
--answer-file=ovirt-answers.ovirt-m-2.shazamteam.com
-- snip ----
Handling HTTPD... [ ERROR ]
Failed to enable SELinux boolean
-- snip -----
- set selinux to permissive and reboot
- install succeeds (OVERRIDE_HTTPD_CONFIG=yes, CONFIG_NFS=yes)
Cheers,
Dave

After running... "engine-upgrade --force-current-setup-rpm --no-yum-rollback"
The upgrade goes through and completes, however at the end if I check
my rpm versions they are all still the same as what they were, as
above.
Seems like the script isn't picking up the later versions available in
the dre repo, I have also updated to the latest dre repo as well just
in case.
On a side note, during the upgrade script it says at the end,
"starting jboss-as..." and the script never completes. Only if I then
re-log in with another SSH session and restart the jboss-as service
does the upgrade script continue and complete, not sure if this is
perhaps a bug that's already been fixed in later versions? Not
critical though.
Thanks, any assistance is greatly appreciated.
Regards.
Neil Wilson.

Hi everyone!
My name is Garrett LeSage and I'm a designer in the Open Source and
Standards team (OSAS), working with Carl Trieloff, Dave Neary, Jason
Brooks, Karsten Wade, Leslie Hawthorn, and a few other folks who
frequent these lists. I have already met some of you at conferences (Red
Hat Summit & GUADEC), and wanted to introduce myself to everyone here.
From what I've seen so far, oVirt is a fantastic piece of
virtualization technology and I'd like to help the project from a design
perspective.
A bit of background about myself: I've been a Linux user since 1995 and
I've contributed graphic design resources to Fedora, the Tango icon
project, and Better Desktop. For the past few years, I was working at
SUSE on cloud and virtualization products (such as SUSE Studio), and am
happy to have recently re-joined Red Hat. (:
For oVirt, I have started working on a new site structure (based on Dave
Neary's work) and also have a few drafts for a new website look as well.
In the next few days, I'll be sending some of my already in-progress
drafts to the lists for feedback. I look forward to all constructive
responses --- positive, negative, and indifferent.
Thanks, and I'm looking forward to working with you all more!
Garrett

[Users] Virtual disk "locked" and I can't start/alter the VM
by Ian Levesque
Hi,
I tried to export a VM image, and it apparently succeeded:
2012-Aug-06, 17:00:25 Vm varanus was exported successfully to glusternfs-export
But now the VM "Virtual Disk" is labeled as "locked" and I can't start or even remove and re-import the VM. Any clues how this can be resolved?
Running ovirt-engine-3.1.0-3.11.el6.noarch
Thanks!

[Users] problems with thin provisioned LUN's for oVirt node
by Johan Kragsterman
Hi!
I'd like to share a few things regarding installation(and use) of oVirt node on thin provisioned LUN's. I had problems here, perhaps someone else have noticed similarities?
I use ZFS and comstar on solaris to provide volume's and LUN`S to the fibre channel SAN. When I create a thin provisioned LUN in comstar it uses the format qcow2, to be able to "fool" the OS that installs on it about the real size of the LUN.
This seem to work fine with normal OS installation, but I'm doubtful about oVist node. I had issues, especially when I try to reinstall on the same LUN. During reinstallation it seems that the installation process tries to "clean" the LUN with dd if=/dev/zero , and that seem to be difficult.
I've run the same cleaning process on different LUN's provided with the same qcow2 format with live media, to see what happens.
First time it seems to go fine, but after one cleaning and another partitioning with LVM the dd seems to get stuck. My feeling is that the LVM partitioning seems to get stuck on the LUN and difficult to get rid of...? Perhaps due to the qcow2 format...?
Could this have something to do with "nested qcow"? qcow on qcow...?"
So, when I get to this stage, the LUN becomes unusable for oVirt node installation. I don't know yet about installing other software, like a normal linux os...
The only oVist node's I've been able to try this on is Fc16-based, since the Fc17 have problems with the qlogic HBA's that I use in my SAN. Fc 17 doesn't load the qlogic firmware image, which makes it impossible to install on the LUN's visible through the qlogic HBA's.
So, anyone that can comments, views, other perspectives, etc, on these subjects are wellcome to do so...

[Users] Wondering about updating ovirt from 3.0 to 3.1
by Dominic Kaiser
What is the proper process for this in ovirt? Or has someone done it
already?

[Users] EL 6.3+ nodes and 3.1 compatibility?
by Dead Horse
With ovirt 3.1 EL 6.3 nodes will only work with a data center set to 3.0
compatibility mode. Is there any reason(s) why EL 6.3+ nodes would not be
allowed in a 3.1 compatibility level cluster? This assumes non use of
gluster since adding vdsm-gluster to an EL 6 node requires some work
package update/version wise (not impossible).
