[Users] Reimporting storage domains after reinstalling ovirt
by Boudewijn Ector 21 Apr '14

21 Apr '14

Hi Guys, Currently I've got a Centos machine running the latest ovirt-release. This machine is using a local raid set containing a directory with ovirt-based VMs from my previous install. The ovirt install is a completely fresh install, no storage/VMs have been created yet. What's the best way to reimport those? I might try to create a new storage domain and copy all old VMs into it (if that works anyway...) , or just reimport the old domain from the web-interface. Does either trick have any advantage, or is there a best practice I should adhere to? Cheers, Boudewijn

Hi Yes I'm using glusterfs as storage domain, and glusterd is running on the ovirt nodes. *Steve * On Mon, Apr 21, 2014 at 11:46 AM, Ovirt User <ldrt8789(a)gmail.com> wrote: > hi steve, > > are you using bluster fs as storage domain ? if yes, inside compute node > or you dedicated 2 or more node for GLUSTER ? > > Il giorno 21/apr/2014, alle ore 16:00, Steve Dainard < > sdainard(a)miovision.com> ha scritto: > > This may have been lost over the weekend... > > > *Steve* > > > On Thu, Apr 17, 2014 at 1:21 PM, Steve wrote: > >> When I create a new vm from a template (centos 6, 20gig thin disk) it >> takes close to 40 minutes to clone the disk image. >> >> Are there any settings that control how much bandwidth the cloning >> process can use, or how its prioritized?

New VM from template, vm disk creation time very high
by Steve Dainard 21 Apr '14

21 Apr '14

When I create a new vm from a template (centos 6, 20gig thin disk) it takes close to 40 minutes to clone the disk image. Are there any settings that control how much bandwidth the cloning process can use, or how its prioritized? This is brutally slow, and although a quick clone isn't needed often, occasionally when someone is asking for a resource it would be nice to expedite the process. Storage: Gluster replica 2 volume Network: 10gig Ovirt: 3.3.4, Centos 6.5 Thanks, *Steve*

VDSM Shutdown Scenario
by Neil 20 Apr '14

20 Apr '14

Hi guys, I'm trying to setup the simplest yet safest way of protecting my guests during an unexpected power outage. If I'm running ovirt with 3 hosts, and the ovirt-engine machine as well as the hosts have SNMP UPS monitoring software installed and configured to shutdown if the UPS starts running out of power, what would happen to the guests when the hosts commence the shutdown sequence caused by the UPS software? The ovirt-engine would also be configured to shutdown during the outage. Would the guests try to migrate to another host (despite all of the hosts commencing the shutdown)? Would the guests be paused? What is the recommended practice to safely protect the VM's ? Thank you! Regards. Neil Wilson.

New host ssh error
by Drew Showers 20 Apr '14

20 Apr '14

Hello, I'm trying to add a 2nd vdsm host in an existing working cluster and host (host 1). It seems all the service are running (vdsmd, nfs, and network) on host 2. When I create the new host, it begins installing packages, but then get the following error: "Host Host-2 installation failed. Command returned failure code 1 during SSH session [user@host]". I can't seem to find the solution on google. I can ssh into host 2 from the ovirt engine. I've tried it with iptables on and iptables off. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks, Drew

UI plugins: AngularJS Demo Plugin
by Vojtech Szocs 17 Apr '14

17 Apr '14

Hi guys, for those of you interested in AngularJS, there's now a sample oVirt UI plugin available from samples-uiplugins repo: http://www.ovirt.org/Features/UIPlugins#AngularJS_Demo_Plugin (It's very similar to one presented in our recent "Writing UI plugin with AngularJS" presentation.) When writing UI plugins beyond simple "hello world", it's important to keep the code well-structured and maintainable; utilizing proven patterns like Model-View-Controller, Dependency Injection, etc. seems to be a good way to go. Of course, some JavaScript ninjas might do things in a different way. :) Regards, Vojtech

oVirt - RHEV release

------=_Part_353_1377390067.1397732327075 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit I'm curious about which version of oVirt will power the next release of RHEV.

I imagine that all of the features need to be polished before inclusion into RHEV. I'm trying to get my company to adopt RHEV instead of V-Sphere but that is becoming a little tricky.

[Users] Instructions to add a remote controlled power strip not in the native list?
by David Smith 16 Apr '14

16 Apr '14

We use Raritan / Dominion PX remote power blocks, is there a way to easily add support for these? On a feature request side, seems like adding support for generic wouldn't be too hard; just ask for what the login/password prompts look like, what the main prompt is, and the command sequence to turn on and off a port as well as logout.

Export domain. Same LUN but different NFS server : update SQL table?
by Nicolas Ecarnot 16 Apr '14

16 Apr '14

Hi, Our NFS storage domain is stored as a LUN, and served via a NFS server. I have to change this NFS server, but I don't need to change the LUN. After setting this NFS export domain in maintenance and detached, is it safe to just update the database table "storage_server_connections" and restart the engine? Regards, PS : I read no answer to this : http://lists.ovirt.org/pipermail/users/2014-March/022610.html -- Nicolas Ecarnot

off topic = newbie with bugzilla, gerrit and ovirt VDSM 4.14
by Tamer Lima 16 Apr '14

16 Apr '14

Hi, I have a problem with an automatic yum vdsm upgrade (4.13 to 4.14) on ovirt 3.3 : Host x.x.x.x is installed with VDSM version (4.14) and cannot join cluster Default which is compatible with VDSM versions [4.13,4.9,4.11,4.12,4.10]. I am searching the solution and one of them (from bz Bug 1083008 ) points to gerrit site(http://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/c/23456/) I do not have any experience in solving bugs, neither bz, gerrit, github.... How to initialize in this world and solve the ovirt problem ? another thing : does downgrade or remove vdms package excludes the installed virtual machines ? I know about ovirt 3.4 is the new release, but I want to learn how to solve some bugs when new releases is not launched; (off course I am afraid to upgrade to ovirt 3.4 too :) ) Tamer
