[Users] Recommended way to disconnect and remove iSCSI direct LUNs
by Boyan Tabakov 04 Mar '14

04 Mar '14

This is an OpenPGP/MIME signed message (RFC 4880 and 3156) --VQiJjAHh4OqnW9GHojIg6s1LSghwPBraw Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Hello, I have ovirt 3.3.2 running with FC19 nodes. I have several virtual machines that use directly attached iSCSI LUNs. Discovering, attaching and using new LUNs works without issues (vdsm needed some patching to work with Dell Equallogic, as described here https://sites.google.com/a/keele.ac.uk/partlycloudy/ovirt, but that's a separate issue). Also live migration works well between hosts and the LUNs get properly attached to the migration target host. However, I don't see any way to disconnect/remove LUNs that are no longer needed (e.g. VM is removed). What is the recommended way to remove old LUNs, so that the underlying iSCSI sessions are disconnected? Especially if a VM has been migrated between hosts, it leaves the LUNs connected on multiple nodes. Thank you in advance!

[Users] Setting up an ovirt-node
by Andy Michielsen 04 Mar '14

04 Mar '14

Hello, I did a clean install of a ovirt-node with the iso provided from ovirt. Everything went fine until I logged on with the admin user and configured the ovirt-engines address. Now I don't have any network connection any more. I have 2 nic's available and defined only the first one with a static IP. When I check the network settings in the admin menu it tells me I have serveral bond devices. If I log on with a root user it states that under /etc/sysconfig/network_scripts that there is a ifcfg_em1, ifcfg_ovirtmgmt and a ifcfg_brem1. The two last devices use the same static ip that I defined on the ifcfg_em1. How can I get my network back up and runnig as I will need this to connect to the engine which is running on an other server. Kind regards.
