[Users] Cluster, hosts, everything down and totally stuck
by Matt . 10 Mar '13

10 Mar '13

My cluster is totally down and I'm completely stuck. I cannot set a host in maintenance, stop a VM because it has a unknown state, so also the host where this one is on. A new added node cannot find the storage because all are down but the NFS is up. On the node that is "unknown" all interfaces are up, on the new added host all are down following ovirt, but are actually up. Because of this I'm stuck between 2 or 4 walls and I'm not able to fix this in some way. What are my options ? I'm thinking of setting the VM that is stuck on my existing host to off by editing the DB of ovirt. I hope we can sort this out. Cheers, Matt

by Yoga Ananth 10 Mar '13

10 Mar '13

Hello Everyone Is there any testsuites based on Ovirt Python Api ( http://www.ovirt.org/Testing/PythonApi) something similar to Openstack tempest. Objective is to do functional and integration tests on fully deployed ovirt environment, like the one in http://www.ovirt.org/Testing/OvirtTestDay3.1, What would be the best way to go about doing this, any suggestions or links to refer will be very helpful. Kind Regards Ananth

[Users] install a f18 host with ovirtmgmt vlan tagged
by Gianluca Cecchi 10 Mar '13

Hello, engine f18 3.2 stable. I try to install a host in a new DC where I only configured ovirtmgmt network as vlan tagged with vlan id 65 Install fails with this error in /var/log/ovirt-engine/host-deploy/ovirt-20130307154915-10.4.4.57.log ... 2013-03-07 15:49:15 ERROR otopi.context context._executeMethod:139 Failed to execute stage 'Setup validation': Interface em3.65 is VLAN interface However its configuration is unexpected .. On fedora18 host I have NetworkManger disabled and network enabled. At the moment the only adapter that starts on the system is em3 and its vlan counterpart em3.65, with these conf files: # cat ifcfg-em3 DEVICE=em3 HWADDR=00:1C:C4:AB:89:0F TYPE=Ethernet BOOTPROTO=none IPV6INIT=no UUID=0675d8c1-858e-4819-9c65-4ff5f63587b7 ONBOOT=yes NM_CONTROLLED=no # cat ifcfg-em3.65 DEVICE=em3.65 ONBOOT=yes BOOTPROTO=none VLAN=yes IPADDR=10.4.4.57 NETMASK=255.255.255.0 GATEWAY=10.4.4.250 NM_CONTROLLED=no How should I configure the host at the beginning to have ovirtmgmt configured as VLAN tagged and host deploy with no complain? Thanks in advance, Gianluca

Hi guys, I've got a bit of a strange one, I'm setting up an internal ovirt system Centos 6.3 64bit dreyou repo... and I'm getting lots of packet loss on the guest I've installed, the packet loss doesn't happen on the physical hosts, only the VM gets it, when communicating from and to it. 1 node(Centos 6.3 64bit) vdsm-4.10.0-0.46.15.el6.x86_64 vdsm-cli-4.10.0-0.46.15.el6.noarch vdsm-xmlrpc-4.10.0-0.46.15.el6.noarch vdsm-python-4.10.0-0.46.15.el6.x86_64 The engine(also Centos 6.3 64bit(engine has local NFS storage which the node connects to) ovirt-engine-userportal-3.1.0-3.19.el6.noarch ovirt-engine-dbscripts-3.1.0-3.19.el6.noarch ovirt-engine-3.1.0-3.19.el6.noarch ovirt-engine-backend-3.1.0-3.19.el6.noarch ovirt-engine-notification-service-3.1.0-3.19.el6.noarch ovirt-image-uploader-3.1.0-16.el6.noarch ovirt-engine-genericapi-3.1.0-3.19.el6.noarch ovirt-iso-uploader-3.1.0-16.el6.noarch ovirt-engine-restapi-3.1.0-3.19.el6.noarch ovirt-engine-tools-common-3.1.0-3.19.el6.noarch ovirt-engine-sdk-3.2.0.8-1.el6.noarch ovirt-engine-webadmin-portal-3.1.0-3.19.el6.noarch ovirt-engine-cli-3.2.0.5-1.el6.noarch ovirt-log-collector-3.1.0-16.el6.noarch ovirt-engine-setup-3.1.0-3.19.el6.noarch ovirt-engine-jbossas711-1-0.x86_64 ovirt-engine-config-3.1.0-3.19.el6.noarch Both the node and engine have bonded interfaces all NICS are intel 82574L gigabit and the managed switch reflects gigabit on each of the ports.

[Users] UI Plugin iframe dialogs
by René Koch (ovido) 08 Mar '13

08 Mar '13

Hi, I'm still working on my Nagios integration plugin and came across a limitation of the UI plugin framework caused by iframes. UI framework creates an iframe for each plugin, so the plugin code is separated from the main oVirt webadmin code (and other plugins). When creating a new (big) jQuery dialog in an sub tab-iframe (sub tab of selected vm or host) it can't be displayed without scrolling in the sub tab or resizing the sub tab (that's clear as it's displayed in an too small iframe). So it would be great if it would be possible to display dialogs in the middle of the main windows and overlap the iframe (don't know if this is possible). In short terms I want to create a dialog which behaves like e.g. the "Setup Host Networks" or "Add Permission to User" dialogs -> click on a link in the plugin iframe and dialog opens in the middle of the website not the middle of the iframe. What I found out so far is that: 1. I must be aware of the same origin policy (that's no problem) 2. I need to put my jQuery-dialog-code in the main oVirt windows and then I can call it from within the iframe (that's my problem) So my questions are: Is it possible to place code outside of the iframe? If not - are there plans to allow this in future releases? Or maybe is there a workaround? Thanks a lot, René

Re: [Users] Improvement for the oVirt java sdk
by Michael Pasternak 08 Mar '13

Hi Christopher, In general SDK abstracts the transport layer, therefore all authentication internals hidden from the user, i.e SESSION based authentication happens implicitly (by default), when you initiate SDK entry point, the story is different if you want using SSO-like login by reusing JSESSIONID from the REST-API for instance, and i can support such scenario, but, is this your case?
