Configure those values in the Initial Run tab. Not much else except time zone (there's a global template per Windows release where you can modify other stuff) Use runonce, attach "[sysprep]" image...

[Users] convert thin provisioned disks to preallocated
by Alan Johnson 18 Sep '13

18 Sep '13

I am pretty sure I know the answer, but is there any way to do this gracefully, i.e. within the confines of the oVirt API? This is on an iSCSI storage domain. My understanding and further research suggest no, but I wanted to ask before we endeavor on a major overhaul of a production system that some one setup without knowing the better of to the 2 for such use. I am very familiar with the underlying systems (LVM, KVM, etc.) and would appreciate any suggested hacks. So far, here is what I have come up with: Sure to work: Setup a new VM with preallocated drives. Boot both VMs off of a live virtual CD. Use cat/pv and nc (netcat) to read directly from the block devices on one and write directly to the block devices on the other. Reboot the new VM from the internal disks. Tweak MAC addresses along the way so the new VM gets those of the old. The down side is the down time, but we can probably swallow it if we have to. Any other risks? Might work: Create a new VM. Identify the logical volumes (LVs) are assigned for that block devices used by the new and the old. Log into the SPM and read directly from the old LVs to the new. This is similar to that above, but I expect I need to run the data through some kind of qcow2-to-raw conversion process to make this work. Similar down sides to the above, but maybe less so? Thoughts? Another thought I had was to just write zeros to the empty space on the block devices, from inside the guest OS, until the full allocation is achieved. The down side is potential impact on performance of the system while it is filling up and for the (hopefully) very short time the file system is full before an rm of the zeros file kicks in. Also we would still have qcow2 underneath, so would it still add overhead, or does that only apply when it grows? Any other down sides to this? Thanks in advance for your thoughts and consideration. ________________ Alan Johnson alan(a)datdec.com Date Format PSA <http://xkcd.com/1179/>

[Users] oVirt Hosted Engine Pre-reqs (sanlock >= 2.8)
by Andrew Lau 18 Sep '13

18 Sep '13

Hi, I noticed the hosted engine package was released as a beta package, too keen for my own good I tried to get it installed on a dev box. One of the pre-requirements is sanlock 2.8 and sanlock-python 2.8 but EL6 does not have these, Fedora 19 does have sanlock 2.8. I'm not sure if this needs to be reported. P.S. Great work on getting this amazing feature ready before release. Andrew .

[Users] Problems with RHEL 5 x86_64 VMs in oVirt 3.3
by Raul José Cheleguini 17 Sep '13

17 Sep '13

Hello all, Please, I'm performing tests with oVirt 3.3 and it has been working really well, except the fact that the installation of RHEL 5 VMs is not happening, not sure why. Does anybody else is experiencing the same issue? Details: Reproducible steps: 1) Start the VM via 'Run once" option. 2) Insert the boot parameters, for instance: linux text 3) vmlinuz and initrd are loaded without errors. 4) Black screen with a blinking cursor. 5) Anaconda never come up, Kernel is not loaded apparently. The same behavior occurs with the following versions: RHEL 5.9 x86_64 RHEL 5.8 x86_64 RHEL 5.7 x86_64 VM definitions: Operating System: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.x x64 Optimized for: Server If I simple change to a RHEL 5.9 32Bits ISO (Even with the 'Operating System' field defined to work for x64), I am able to carry on with the VM installation and everything goes ok. Fedora 18 and 19 for x84_64 works well, also RHEL 6 builds for x86_64. Packages in use: ovirt-engine-3.3.0-1.fc19.noarch qemu-1.4.2-7.fc19.x86_64 qemu-kvm-1.4.2-7.fc19.x86_64 libvirt-1.0.5.5-1.fc19.x86_64 Details and data collected: VM name: tests-rhel5-64bits engine.log vdsm.log qemu process arguments libvirt relevant logs Last test timestamp: 2013-Sep-05, 12:09 VM tests-rhel5-64bits started on Host dell-pe2950-1 Should I file a bug? Any help will be really appreciated. Thanks, Raul.

Re: [Users] Bridge for logical network
by Juan Pablo Lorier 17 Sep '13

17 Sep '13

Hi Moti, When you say As long as the bridge is defined on engine side and reported by VDSM you should be able to assign vms to it. What do you mean? I can't see bridge interfaces in the engine, it just shows the fisical nics. Is there a way to force engine to see the bridge? If I hide one nic, then if the visible one fails, I loose connectivity even if the other nic in the bridge is active? If I add both nics to the bridge (the hidden and the visible) and then by the engine assign the LN to the visible nic, is it going to work? I'm used to assign the ip address to the bridgen, no to one of the interfases member as this shouldn't work, and I guess that the engine will set the ip to the nic not to the bridge as it's what it sees. Sorry for so many questions, but I want to be sure of what I'm doing before testing it as I have to work on the production platform.
