Hello List, i have a 2 Node Cluster with GlusterFS. After putting one machine in Maintance and turning it off and on again the glustefs starts its resync. However, this process seems to be very slow. iotop and iftop only show me a few hundred K/s. Is this normal? Thanks, Mario

IPv6 configuration through custom network properties and vdsm-hook-ipv6
by Ondřej Svoboda 04 Nov '14

04 Nov '14

Hi all, let us invite you to try out the latest addition to VDSM hooks: simple IPv6 configuration with oVirt's custom network properties :-) In oVirt GUI you can now control 4 properties understood by VDSM's new IPv6 hook: ipv6addr, ipv6gateway (IPv6 addresses) ipv6autoconf, dhcpv6 (booleans; use '1' or 'true' to enable them) You will need oVirt 3.5 and VDSM >= 4.16.7 and vdsm-hook-ipv6. Define the new properties in oVirt engine as follows (do not omit ;ethtool_opts=.* if you are using it): PROPERTIES='ipv6addr=.*;ipv6gateway=.*;ipv6autoconf=.*;dhcpv6=.*' engine-config -s "UserDefinedNetworkCustomProperties=$PROPERTIES" --cver='3.5' You can install the hook from oVirt's nightly build (also for el7, fc20...): http://resources.ovirt.org/pub/ovirt-master-snapshot/rpm/el6/noarch/ After you restart the ovirt-engine service you are welcome to test configuring the new custom properties in "Edit Network" dialog. Please note that there is little functionality available (e.g. no migration) apart from the basic configuration but we are working to make IPv6 in oVirt a reality. Recently, we tested manual IPv6 fencing, which was one of our goals on http://www.ovirt.org/Features/IPv6_support. We will update the feature page next week. We are interested in your feedback. Stay tuned! Cheers, Ondra Svoboda PS: If you are building VDSM from Git, your packages (namely the vdsm package required by the hook) are versioned as 4.16.0-nnn-gitid, which does not satisfy the 4.16.7 requirement. Please run 'git tag v4.16.7-fake' in your Git repository so the next time you 'make rpm' you get compatible packages.

qemu-kvm from Jenkins - renamed packages to rhev?
by Trey Dockendorf 04 Nov '14

04 Nov '14

In the past in order to have live snapshots work in CentOS 6.5 I had to use RPMs from http://jenkins.ovirt.org/job/qemu-kvm-rhev_create-rpms_el6/. I've noticed now that the RPMs have been renamed and no longer match the names of those distributed by CentOS. Are the CentOS builds of QEMU now supporting live snapshots, or are these builds in Jenkins still required? Thanks, - Trey

DWH and reports
by Koen Vanoppen 04 Nov '14

04 Nov '14

Hi All, We recently updated our ovirt installation from 3.4.3 to 3.5 and this went very smooth, so thanks for that! But now I wanted to try to install the DWH and reports on 2 different vm's. The installation went well, no errors there, but when I try to open the reports portal afterwards, I get a 404 and this is in the server.log on the engine host: Any ideas what it could be? tail -f /var/log/ovirt-engine/server.log at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardHostValve.invoke(StandardHostValve.java:185) [jbossweb-7.0.13.Final.jar:] at org.apache.catalina.valves.ErrorReportValve.invoke(ErrorReportValve.java:102) [jbossweb-7.0.13.Final.jar:] at org.jboss.web.rewrite.RewriteValve.invoke(RewriteValve.java:466) [jbossweb-7.0.13.Final.jar:] at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardEngineValve.invoke(StandardEngineValve.java:109) [jbossweb-7.0.13.Final.jar:] at org.apache.catalina.connector.CoyoteAdapter.service(CoyoteAdapter.java:368) [jbossweb-7.0.13.Final.jar:] at org.apache.coyote.ajp.AjpProcessor.process(AjpProcessor.java:505) [jbossweb-7.0.13.Final.jar:] at org.apache.coyote.ajp.AjpProtocol$AjpConnectionHandler.process(AjpProtocol.java:445) [jbossweb-7.0.13.Final.jar:] at org.apache.tomcat.util.net.JIoEndpoint$Worker.run(JIoEndpoint.java:930) [jbossweb-7.0.13.Final.jar:] at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:744) [rt.jar:1.7.0_51] 2014-11-04 06:24:22,299 ERROR [org.apache.catalina.core.ContainerBase.[default-host]] (ajp--127.0.0.1-8702-18) Exception sending request destroyed lifecycle event to listener instance of class org.jboss.weld.servlet.WeldListener: java.lang.NullPointerException at org.jboss.weld.context.AbstractBoundContext.deactivate(AbstractBoundContext.java:71) [weld-core-1.1.5.AS71.Final.jar:2012-02-10 15:31] at org.jboss.weld.context.http.HttpRequestContextImpl.deactivate(HttpRequestContextImpl.java:86) [weld-core-1.1.5.AS71.Final.jar:2012-02-10 15:31] at org.jboss.weld.servlet.WeldListener.requestDestroyed(WeldListener.java:103) [weld-core-1.1.5.AS71.Final.jar:2012-02-10 15:31] at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardHostValve.invoke(StandardHostValve.java:185) [jbossweb-7.0.13.Final.jar:] at org.apache.catalina.valves.ErrorReportValve.invoke(ErrorReportValve.java:102) [jbossweb-7.0.13.Final.jar:] at org.jboss.web.rewrite.RewriteValve.invoke(RewriteValve.java:466) [jbossweb-7.0.13.Final.jar:] at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardEngineValve.invoke(StandardEngineValve.java:109) [jbossweb-7.0.13.Final.jar:] at org.apache.catalina.connector.CoyoteAdapter.service(CoyoteAdapter.java:368) [jbossweb-7.0.13.Final.jar:] at org.apache.coyote.ajp.AjpProcessor.process(AjpProcessor.java:505) [jbossweb-7.0.13.Final.jar:] at org.apache.coyote.ajp.AjpProtocol$AjpConnectionHandler.process(AjpProtocol.java:445) [jbossweb-7.0.13.Final.jar:] at org.apache.tomcat.util.net.JIoEndpoint$Worker.run(JIoEndpoint.java:930) [jbossweb-7.0.13.Final.jar:] at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:744) [rt.jar:1.7.0_51]
