oVirt 3.5 2 nd test day report
by Allon Mureinik 29 Jul '14

29 Jul '14

Hi everyone, For this test day I revisited the two UX RFEs I looked at in the previous test day: Bug 987953 - OVIRT35 - [RFE] [oVirt] [webadmin] Tree doesn't refresh Bug 1110566 - OVIRT35 - [RFE] when viewing a grid that contains only one item, *automatically* select that item I started out by verifying the bug I opened last time was indeed fixed: Bug 1114990 - Search: Clusters main tab is not sorted by name by default I then proceeded to play around with both features. I found one bug regarding the tree's refresh: Bug 1124407 - Adding a cluster partially collapses the tree And a couple which weren't related to these changes: Bug 1124375 - Can't search DCs according to compatibility version Bug 1124378 - Can't sort DCs according to compatibility version Bug 1124426 - Wrong sorting of DC's storage type -Allon

Test-Day 3.5-2 -> Import Storage Domain
by ybronhei 29 Jul '14

29 Jul '14

Hey all, following the updated wikis - http://www.ovirt.org/Features/ImportUnregisteredEntities and http://www.ovirt.org/Features/ImportStorageDomain which describe in details the steps for import storage domain I successfully created a cluster with 1 hosts and 3 vms. (host and engine run with rhel6.5) Changed some of the details for the vms (ha, system infos, mem, cpus and more), then cleaned up the engine (ran engine-cleanup and rerun engine-setup). On clean environment I created new cluster with new storage domain (its a must currently to create new storage domain before the import - stated in the [1]). After that I imported the original sd that I used, went to import Virtual machines tab and imported all entities I had. All of the vms' details were imported successfully with the same info that I configured before the cleanup. Tried again also with templates and snapshots recovery, also worked as expected seems green to me. anything else you would like me to check in this area?

How to reset vm from unknown state?
by Arman Khalatyan 29 Jul '14

29 Jul '14

Hi. My nfs storage got problems and one of the vms went to unknown state. Other vms on the same storage were back to normal state. Are there way to reset state of vm??? I am using ovirt 3.4.0-1 with centos6.5 Thenks. Arman On Jul 25, 2014 7:47 PM, "Brian Proffitt" <bproffit(a)redhat.com> wrote:

Misc architecture questions
by Maël Lavault 29 Jul '14

29 Jul '14

Hi, I'm a student currently doing my final study project based around Ovirt. I played a lot with Ovirt to have an overview of what could or could not be done, but I still have a few questions and stuff I want to clarify. My project consist of a HA architecture using Ovirt, powered by 8 reasonably powerful servers (4 x Quad core Opteron, 32Go RAM, 2x10k RPM HDD) equipped with 2 NIC each. I followed this tutorial to use Ovirt with GlusterFS : http://community.redhat.com/blog/2014/05/ovirt-3-4-glusterized/ Worked well ! I installed 2 self hosted engine on 2 different servers and a GlusterFS using 2 other servers. But since we had only 2 x 1Gb NIC per server, we decided to go with bonding and VLAN to separate each networks inspired by this blog post : http://captainkvm.com/2013/04/maximizing-your-10gb-ethernet-in-rhev/ Unfortunately, it seems like Ovirt 3.4 does not support installing self-hosted engine on bond + vlan. I tried 3.5 but there were to much bug to be usable and the project is set to be deployed in 2 months. A colleague suggested me a workaround using OpenvSwitch between Ovirt and NIC bond to "translate tagged packet into non tagged packet" and hide the bond from Ovirt. Does this have a chance to work ? Since the GlusterFS is accessed by NFS, I was able to bond the two servers. A few questions : - What is the purpose of ovirtmgmt network ? I did a lot of search by haven't found any clear explanation. Does it need to be publicly accessible or a private ip is fine too ? - Is the display network used for SPICE/VNC connection ? - How do Ovirt differentiate VM network from a storage network ? They both have the same vm role in the interface. Both networks could (should) be on private ip range right ? - How can I add the storage network after (or before, would be better) self hosted engine is installed ? (Since self hosted engine is stored on Gluster, I will loose connection to the engine) - Using self hosted engine, does all my nodes need to be installed with hosted-engine --deploy, or can I have only 2 self hosted engine nodes and 4 classic nodes ? - I'm trying to cleanly re-install the second hosted engine after some experiments, but the behavior is strange : [ INFO ] Stage: Transaction commit [ INFO ] Stage: Closing up To continue make a selection from the options below: (1) Continue setup - engine installation is complete (2) Power off and restart the VM (3) Abort setup Isn't this supposed to give me information to connect to the vm so i can install the engine ? Thanks a lot for this truly well made software !

oVirt 3.5 2nd test day report - neutron appliance
by Oved Ourfali 29 Jul '14

29 Jul '14

Hi I tested the neutron appliance in this test day. Feature page is in http://www.ovirt.org/Features/NeutronVirtualAppliance Overall environment: Engine - F19 VM Hosts - two Centos 6.5 hosts with 2 nics, using nested virtualization Tests: 1. Followed the wiki to import the appliance from the public glance repository and run a VM with that appliance • Had some comments on the wiki that were addressed instantly by Moti 2. Checked both network provisioning, and network import 3. Checked host installation with the neutron plugin, using OVS 4. Imported the Cirros image from the public glance repository, to be used in order to create VMs and check connectivity between them 5. The two VMs had connectivity on the created subnet, both when using the provisioned network, and the imported one. Tested both when running both VMs on the same host, and on two different hosts. Overall it worked pretty great. Opened three bugs on UI/Flow issues: Bug 1124294 - reinstall host dialog - neutron - UI issue (network) Bug 1124298 - cloud-init network start on boot checkbox goes down one line (virt) Bug 1124304 - import networks dialog is confusing (network) Thanks, Oved

I came to oVirt by way of looking for a suitable KVM/libvirt-based IaaS stack to supersede my old Ubuntu 12.04 setup, that I've been running since KVM came to Ubuntu-town. I've looked & tried a number of solutions - Eucalyptus, Enomalism, OpenStack - but most proved too cumbersome or admin-heavy for us. A while back I set up oVirt on CentOS (whatever was stable at the time), but had to shelve the project for a while, because... reasons. Fired it back up again & did all the requisite updates/upgrades to bring the host up to snuff. Unfortunately oVirt did not work as well, so I tried removing/purging it from the host & reinstalling it - both the 3.4.* stable & 3.5 beta - but both get hit up by the same issue when running the engine-setup.
