HP ILO2 , fence not working, with SSH port specified, a Bug?
by mad Engineer 30 Jun '14

30 Jun '14

hi i have an old HP server with ILO2 on manager i configured power management and configured SSH port to use for ILO2 for checking SSH i manually ssh to ILO and is working fine, but power management test always fail with "*Unable to connect/login to fencing device*" log shows its using fence_ilo instead of fence_ilo2 Thread-18::DEBUG::2014-06-30 08:23:14,106::API::1133::vds::(fenceNode) fenceNode(addr=XXXX,port=,*agent=ilo* ,user=Administrator,passwd=XXXX,action=status,secure=,options=ipport=22 ssl=no) Thread-18::DEBUG::2014-06-30 08:23:14,741::API::1159::vds::(fenceNode) rc 1 in agent=*fence_ilo* ipaddr=xxxxxxxxxx login=Administrator action=status passwd=XXXX ipport=22 ssl=no out err *Unable to connect/login to fencing device* *Manually testing* fence_ilo -a xxxxxx -l Administrator -p xxxxx -o status Status: ON but with ssh port specified ie *-u * fence_ilo -a xxxxxx -l Administrator -p xxxxx -o status -u 22 *Unable to connect/login to fencing device* So when we specify ssh port it fails and with out ssh port its working this is the case with ILO2 also for ilo3 and ilo4 since it does not ask for SSH port its working Is this a Bug Thanks,

I have to guess now, maybe someone else from the devs knows more, maybe there is still an active storage connection somehow? can you check that? Docs on how to do so, are here: http://www.ovirt.org/Features/Manage_Storage_Connections Am 24.06.2014 11:27, schrieb Koen Vanoppen: > Ok, thanx.

Tune HA timing,is it possible
by mad Engineer 29 Jun '14

29 Jun '14

Hi, Is it possible to tune time required to reboot VM in case of host failures. in our test we powered off one of the Host. Manager was still showing both Guest and Host as UP for around 5 minutes and after that it took another 4-5 minutes to start VM. Is there any tunable parameter that can be modified to bring down the time required to recognize Host failures. Thanks

[QE][ACTION REQUIRED] postponing beta release due to basic sanity test failure
by Sandro Bonazzola 29 Jun '14

29 Jun '14

Hi, while performing basic sanity test on 3.5.0 beta candidate I've seen the following bugs: Bug 1113882 - [ ERROR ] Failed to execute stage 'Closing up': [ERROR]::oVirt sdk is disconnected from the server. Bug 1113891 - storage domains are listed twice Bug 1113898 - New Virtual Machine dialog drop down list are all empty Bug 1113898 make impossible to create a new VM, so basic sanity test failed. We need to postpone beta release until this one is fixed. repoclosure test failed on F19: http://lists.ovirt.org/pipermail/users/2014-June/025475.html Since candidate beta build failed sanity test, I'm going to rebuild engine from master and repeat sanity test on the new build. -- Sandro Bonazzola Better technology.

by Robert Middleswarth 28 Jun '14

28 Jun '14

I remember reading someone was working on putting together a kinda starter kit for doing a presentation on oVirt. Can someone point me at those resources. I recent joined a maker (hacker) space in my area and part of what they do is workshops on different thing I would like to do a workshop on oVirt. This will be a small group anywhere from 5 to 25 people so not a large number. Thanks Robert

Node down,but ovirt still shows VM as up
by mad Engineer 28 Jun '14

28 Jun '14

Hi, I am using Cisco UCS C200 M2 as Host running Centos 6.5 and KVM, Power Management not working properly,hence even with Node down Ovirt shows VM as still up,with uptime of VM increasing(on the manager) if i continue and save the changes its causing problems: 1. HA is not working ( Node status changed to Non responsive but VM status still up!! 2. Restart of Host gives wrong information-it shows host as rebooting but actually nothing is happening to Host!! While configuring power management: On ovirtmanager edited Power management and chose cisco_ucs with proper authentication to CIMC,but when clicked on test,it shows *Test Failed, Failed: You have to enter plug number Please use '-h' for usage * What is this plug,i couldn't find anything in CIMC This can be the reason for failure of HA and restart Can someone please help me fix this Thanks

network issue with vm
by Tiemen Ruiten 28 Jun '14

28 Jun '14

Hello, I set up an oVirt cluster and created my first VM. However I can not seem to get any network connectivity going. The VM is set up to receive an IP address via DHCP. I can see the DHCP request come in on the DHCP-server, but subsequently, the offer is lost somewhere. Even when I configure a fixed IP, I can not ping any host but the VM itself and the IP in the same VLAN on the hypervisor. My network settings are in the attachment (output of sudo vdsClient -s localhost getVdsCaps > caps.txt on the hypervisor). Is there something I should configure on the switch maybe (it's a Cisco 3560G)? -- Tiemen Ruiten Systems Engineer R&D Media

Stats for oVirt Downloads: Jan-May 2014
by Brian Proffitt 28 Jun '14

28 Jun '14

All: For some time, traffic statistics for the sites in the ovirt.org domain (lists, resources, gerrit, and linode01) have been collected and organized using awstats[1] at stats.ovirt.org[2]. From the data provided for resources, I have been able to put together what should be a fairly definitive set of statistics for software downloads within the oVirt Project. Methodology The statistics that were analyzed were for five parts of the project: * Engine * Live * Node * Engine Reports * Engine dwh Downloads of the Engine RPM file, it was determined, would be indicative of actual oVirt installs. The allinone RPMs were not analyzed at this time, since installing this RPM is a choice made during the installation process itself. Tracking the Engine Reports and dwh RPMs was done to determine the popularity of these two tools and to ensure their numbers were comparable. To count downloads, data was gathered each month that listed the total downloads of every file, a number derived from the total hits each file had, minus any 206 hits, which indicated incomplete downloads. Key files for Engine, Engine Reports, and Engine dwh were identified and the data filtered to include counts for each one of the files, in whatever version released. Tracking of Live and Node RPMs was already set up within the awstats reporting, and was taken directly from awstats in each month. If there is any part of this methodology that is in error, feedback is very much appreciated. Presentation of Data Data was aggregated using Pivot Tables in Google Docs, and the application of SUMIFS functions in the same spreadsheet document. This document is still being formatted into a more presentable form, but until then, I wanted to deliver some preliminary results to the community for the first five months of the year. It will be noted that in general, download numbers are on the rise, particularly around the time oVirt 3.4 was released. There are significant gaps in downloads of Engine Reports and Engine dwh. I am still investigating the cause of this lack of data. Engine Jan 5815 Feb 4251 Mar 1980 Apr 10509 May 12043 Engine Reports Jan 0 Feb 1209 Mar 0 Apr 10282 May 9647 Engine dwh Jan 0 Feb 603 Mar 0 Apr 9974 May 10311 Live Jan 845 Feb 757 Mar 739 Apr 1981 May 1187 Node Jan 95 Feb 757 Mar 739 Apr 1981 May 1187 Thanks for Alon Bar-Lev and Michael Scherer for their invaluable assistance with this data gathering and reporting.
