VM Network activity on RHEV-M UI
by Marc Seward 27 Nov '15

27 Nov '15

I'm generating network activity on a RHEV 3.5 VM using iperf.The VM acts as an iperf client.On the client,iperf reports that data has been successfully sent to iperf server.The iperf server also shows that it's successfully receiving data from the iperf client.But,network is at 0% on the RHEV-M UI.The client and server are on different private networks. On the same VM,when I generate network activity by fetching a file from a public network using wget,the network column correctly shows activity on the RHEV-M UI for the VM. Could someone help me understand why I am unable to see network activity on the RHEV-M UI when iperf is used? Appreciate your help.TIA.

Hello Been trying to resolve a problem with my second node which does not want to connect : one of my 2 nodes are not connecting, the problem is that the Node cant talk NFS to Node. the node used to function fine, after performing a hardware upgrade and bringing the system back up it seems to have come up with this issue. we also performed a yum update, updated around 447 packages. Can someone please help me with this. Thanks Sol

3.6: vNIC profiles aren't selectable - can't add NIC for VMs
by Wee Sritippho 26 Nov '15

26 Nov '15

Hi, I'm trying to add virtual NICs for a new VM. However, there is no vNIC profile in the drop down list for 'nic1' even though I already have a vNIC profile named 'ovirtmgmt' within 'ovirtmgmt' network. I attached 'ovirt-cant-add-nic-for-vms.mp4' as a visual explanation. oVirt 3.6 @ CentOS 7 Regards, Wee --- ซอฟต์แวร์ Avast แอนตี้ไวรัสตรวจสอบหาไวรัสจากอีเมลนี้แล้ว https://www.avast.com/antivirus

You are right: I was bothering you with this setup wishlist item *mainly* because further Engine vm modification was impossible/awkward/difficult before 3.6.1 Nonetheless I have seen many cases in which at least a second NIC would be absolutely needed to complete the Engine installation: it is a well known best practice to keep the management network (maybe conflated with the IPMI network in smaller cases) completely isolated from other services and to allow only limited access to/from it, and that network would be the ovirtmgmt-bridge-connected network (the only one available to the Engine, as of now); now think of a kickstart-based Engine OS installation/update from a local repository/mirror which would be reachable on a different network only (further access to the User/Administration Web portal could have similar needs but could be more easily covered by successive Engine vm modifications) The "additional disks" part was (maybe "artificially") added by me out of fantasy, but I know of at least one enterprise customer that by policy mandates separate disks for OS and data (mainly on FC LUNs, to be honest, but FC is supported by hosted Engine now, isn't it?) I absolutely don't know how the setup code is structured (and the recent logical "duplication" between mixins.py and vm.conf.in scares me a bit, actually ;), but I naively hope that changing the two single hardcoded nic/hdd questions into two loops of minimum 1 iteration (with a corresponding generalization of related otopi parameters) should not increase the complexity too much (and could be an excuse to rationalize/unify it further). Obviously I could stand instantly corrected by anyone who really knows the code, but in exchange I would gain for free some interesting pointers/insights into the setup code/structure ;) >> Regards, >> Giuseppe >> _______________________________________________ >> Users mailing list >> Users(a)ovirt.org >> http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users

oVirt Node roadmap
by Fabian Deutsch 25 Nov '15

25 Nov '15

Hey, in the last few months the Node team spent a lot of efforts in stabilizing Node by closing tons of bugs, rebasing Node onto CentOS 7.2, and in addition adding features like Hosted-Engine - to get Node in shape for the recently released oVirt 3.6.0. But we were also seeing how Node is showing it's age. It becomes more and more challenging to solve bugs and implement features in Node's current architecture. To address these problems, and let Node adjust better to new changes, a few months ago we started to look at how we can change Node, to make it easier to develop, test, and use. This comparison [1] shows a brief summary of our investigations. We especially looked at Atomic and containers [2]. At the bottom line both of them provided us an architecture which would help us to achieve something like 70% of what we need. But during early trials we quickly ran into issues which we experience in similar ways with today's Node. Finally we settled an approach - the idea was around since right from the beginning - which aligns very well with existing technologies which we already use in the oVirt and Fedora/CentOS scope. The new Node will be using anaconda for installation, LVM for upgrades and rollbacks, and Cockpit [3] for administration. The future design is taking care that packages don't need to take special care to work on Node - which was a major obstacle in the past. Node will rather behave (mostly) like a regular host - but with the advantages of an easy & ready to use image, image based delivery and a robust rollback. The current design principles and links to some additional resources are in the wiki [4]. Stay tuned, we are just getting started.
