August 2015 - Users - Ovirt List Archives

by Giorgio Bersano

Hi all. We have an oVirt cluster in production happily running from the beginning of 2014. It started as 3.3 beta and now is Version 3.4.4-1.el6 . Shared storage provided by an HP P2000 G3 iSCSI MSA. The storage server is fully redundant (2 controllers, dual port disks, 4 iscsi connections per controller) and so is the connectivity (two switches, multiple ethernet cards per server). >From now on lets only talk about iSCSI connectivity. The two oldest server have 2 nics each; they have been configured "by hand" setting routes aimed to reach every scsi target from every nic. On the "new" server we installed ovirt 3.5 to have a look at the network configuration provided by oVirt. In Data Center -> iSCSI Multipathing we defined an iSCSI Bond binding together 3 server's nics and the 8 nics of the MSA. The result is a system that has been functioning for months. Recently we had to do an upgrade of the storage firmware. This activity uploads the firmware to one of the MSA controllers then reboots it. Being successful this is repeated on the other controller. There is an impact on the I/O performance but there should be no problems as every "volume" on the MSA remains visible on other paths. Well, that's the theory. On the two "hand configured" hosts we had no significant problems. On the 3.5 host VMs started to migrate due to storage problems then the situation got worse and it took more than an hour to bring again the system to a good operating level. I am inclined to believe that the culprit is the server's routing table. Seems to me that the oVirt generated one is too simplistic and prone to problems in case of connectivity loss (as in our situation or when you have to reboot one of the switches). Anyone on this list with strong experience on similar setup? I have included below some background information. I'm available to provide anything useful to further investigate the case. TIA, Giorgio. ------------------- context information ------------------- oVirt Compatibility Version: 3.4 two FUJITSU PRIMERGY RX300 S5 hosts CPU: Intel(R) Xeon(R) E5504 @ 2.00GHz / Intel Nehalem Family OS Version: RHEL - 6 - 6.el6.centos.12.2 Kernel Version: 2.6.32 - 504.16.2.el6.x86_64 KVM Version: 0.12.1.2 - 2.448.el6_6.2 LIBVIRT Version: libvirt-0.10.2-46.el6_6.6 VDSM Version: vdsm-4.14.17-0.el6 RAM: 40GB mom-0.4.3-1.el6.noarch.rpm ovirt-release34-1.0.3-1.noarch.rpm qemu-img-rhev-0.12.1.2-2.448.el6_6.2.x86_64.rpm qemu-kvm-rhev-0.12.1.2-2.448.el6_6.2.x86_64.rpm qemu-kvm-rhev-tools-0.12.1.2-2.448.el6_6.2.x86_64.rpm vdsm-4.14.17-0.el6.x86_64.rpm vdsm-cli-4.14.17-0.el6.noarch.rpm vdsm-hook-hostusb-4.14.17-0.el6.noarch.rpm vdsm-hook-macspoof-4.14.17-0.el6.noarch.rpm vdsm-python-4.14.17-0.el6.x86_64.rpm vdsm-python-zombiereaper-4.14.17-0.el6.noarch.rpm vdsm-xmlrpc-4.14.17-0.el6.noarch.rpm # ip route list table all |grep 192.168.126. 192.168.126.87 dev eth4 table 4 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.126.65 192.168.126.86 dev eth4 table 4 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.126.65 192.168.126.81 dev eth4 table 4 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.126.65 192.168.126.80 dev eth4 table 4 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.126.65 192.168.126.77 dev eth4 table 4 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.126.65 192.168.126.0/24 dev eth4 table 4 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.126.65 192.168.126.0/24 dev eth3 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.126.64 192.168.126.0/24 dev eth4 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.126.65 192.168.126.85 dev eth3 table 3 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.126.64 192.168.126.84 dev eth3 table 3 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.126.64 192.168.126.83 dev eth3 table 3 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.126.64 192.168.126.82 dev eth3 table 3 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.126.64 192.168.126.76 dev eth3 table 3 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.126.64 192.168.126.0/24 dev eth3 table 3 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.126.64 broadcast 192.168.126.0 dev eth3 table local proto kernel scope link src 192.168.126.64 broadcast 192.168.126.0 dev eth4 table local proto kernel scope link src 192.168.126.65 local 192.168.126.65 dev eth4 table local proto kernel scope host src 192.168.126.65 local 192.168.126.64 dev eth3 table local proto kernel scope host src 192.168.126.64 broadcast 192.168.126.255 dev eth3 table local proto kernel scope link src 192.168.126.64 broadcast 192.168.126.255 dev eth4 table local proto kernel scope link src 192.168.126.65 one HP ProLiant DL560 Gen8 host CPU: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-4610 v2 @ 2.30GHz / Intel SandyBridge Family OS Version:RHEL - 6 - 6.el6.centos.12.2 Kernel Version: 2.6.32 - 504.16.2.el6.x86_64 KVM Version: 0.12.1.2 - 2.448.el6_6.2 LIBVIRT Version: libvirt-0.10.2-46.el6_6.6 VDSM Version: vdsm-4.16.14-0.el6 RAM: 256GB mom-0.4.3-1.el6.noarch.rpm ovirt-release35-002-1.noarch.rpm qemu-img-rhev-0.12.1.2-2.448.el6_6.2.x86_64.rpm qemu-kvm-rhev-0.12.1.2-2.448.el6_6.2.x86_64.rpm qemu-kvm-rhev-tools-0.12.1.2-2.448.el6_6.2.x86_64.rpm vdsm-4.16.14-0.el6.x86_64.rpm vdsm-cli-4.16.14-0.el6.noarch.rpm vdsm-hook-hostusb-4.16.14-0.el6.noarch.rpm vdsm-hook-macspoof-4.16.14-0.el6.noarch.rpm vdsm-jsonrpc-4.16.14-0.el6.noarch.rpm vdsm-python-4.16.14-0.el6.noarch.rpm vdsm-python-zombiereaper-4.16.14-0.el6.noarch.rpm vdsm-xmlrpc-4.16.14-0.el6.noarch.rpm vdsm-yajsonrpc-4.16.14-0.el6.noarch.rpm # ip route list table all |grep 192.168.126. 192.168.126.0/24 dev p6p1 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.126.34 192.168.126.0/24 dev p3p1 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.126.33 192.168.126.0/24 dev em3 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.126.32 local 192.168.126.32 dev em3 table local proto kernel scope host src 192.168.126.32 local 192.168.126.33 dev p3p1 table local proto kernel scope host src 192.168.126.33 broadcast 192.168.126.0 dev p6p1 table local proto kernel scope link src 192.168.126.34 broadcast 192.168.126.0 dev p3p1 table local proto kernel scope link src 192.168.126.33 broadcast 192.168.126.0 dev em3 table local proto kernel scope link src 192.168.126.32 local 192.168.126.34 dev p6p1 table local proto kernel scope host src 192.168.126.34 broadcast 192.168.126.255 dev p6p1 table local proto kernel scope link src 192.168.126.34 broadcast 192.168.126.255 dev p3p1 table local proto kernel scope link src 192.168.126.33 broadcast 192.168.126.255 dev em3 table local proto kernel scope link src 192.168.126.32

ovirt 3.5.2 issues with nodes becoming "Non Operational"

by Chris Liebman

Hi, I'm new to oVirt and recently built a 10 node ovirt 3.5 DC with shared storage using gluster configured as distributed-replicated (replication = 2). Shortly after 7 of the 10 nodes dropped, one at a time over a few hours, into "Non Operational" state. Attempting to activate one of these nodes gives the error: "Failed to connect Host ovirt-node260 to Storage Pool LADC-TBX". Attempting to put the node into Maintenance eaves the node stuck in "Preparing For maintenance". When I rebooted one of the nodes I see this in the nodes event list: "Host ovirt-node269 reports about one of the Active Storage Domains as Problematic." I see many of these errors in the vdsm log from the failed nodes: Thread-10000::ERROR::2015-08-12 > 10:01:17,748::__init__::506::jsonrpc.JsonRpcServer::(_serveRequest) > Internal server error > > Traceback (most recent call last): > > File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/yajsonrpc/__init__.py", line 501, > in _serveRequest > > res = method(**params) > > File "/usr/share/vdsm/rpc/Bridge.py", line 267, in _dynamicMethod > > result = fn(*methodArgs) > > File "/usr/share/vdsm/API.py", line 1330, in getStats > > stats.update(self._cif.mom.getKsmStats()) > > File "/usr/share/vdsm/momIF.py", line 60, in getKsmStats > > stats = self._mom.getStatistics()['host'] > > File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/mom/MOMFuncs.py", line 75, in > getStatistics > > host_stats = self.threads['host_monitor'].interrogate().statistics[-1] > > AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'statistics' > Any help here is appreciated. -- Chris

Gluster Replica 3 using arbiter node?

by Adrian Lewis

Hi, Just wondering if it will be possible to create gluster replica 3 volumes in oVirt 3.6 that use the arbiter function instead of actually storing three copies of the data? If so, could this be used for the hosted engine on gluster feature which from what I can tell requires replica 3? Many thanks, Adrian

CPU Threads Help!!!

by zhangjian2011

--------------020500020201060207010309 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8"; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Hi, Guys Recently I am investigating the Optimization Policy in Cluster and try to use “CPU Threads”. As the manual of description: ======== For example, a 24-core system with 2 threads per core (48 threads total) can run virtual machines with up to 48 cores each ======== My host CPU is i3-2120 CPU (2 cores 4 threads) So I think the expect result case is : 1. If the “Count Threads As Cores” *disable*, we can’t run virtual vm with above 2 vCPU 2. If the “Count Threads As Cores” *enable*, we can’t run virtual vm with above 4 vCPU Now the problem is about result case 1: 1.

Stuck installing Neutron Appliance

by Alan Murrell

Hello. I am running oVirt 3.5.1. on a single server running Hosted Engine. I am running through <http://www.ovirt.org/Features/NeutronVirtualAppliance#Run_the_neutron_ser...> and am stuck on the section "Install a Host with the network provider". Specifically, I am stuck on Step 2, which is: 2. Install the host with the external network provider by clicking on the 'Network Provider' left tab I am not sure where to click. In my "Tree", I do have "External providers", but I already added my Neutrom Provider in the previous section, 'Configure Neutron network provider on ovirt-engine'. Is there somewhere else I need to add this, or because I am running a self-hosted engine, it ends up being the same thing? Also in this same section, Step 7 where I am to run 'ovs-vsctl add-port br-neutron neutron', I don't have this command ('ovs-vsctl' doesn't seem to be installed, which I believe is part of openVswtich). I didn't see any steps beforehand that would have installed openVswitch. Is there a step missing? Thanks! :-) Regards, Alan

iSCSI question... LUNS->Targets balnk

by Alan Murrell

Hello, I am hoping someone here has had experience in setting up an iSCSI target using 'targetcli'. I followed the following guide: <http://www.certdepot.net/rhel7-configure-iscsi-target-initiator-persisten...>. This is on my single host (with hosted engine currently running; I am using a seperate HDD for the iSCSI storage) The iSCSI initiator of my host, from it's information page in oVirt, is <iqn.1994-05.com.redhat:ba4cc8b3368e>, so I created an ACL with that name. Here is a result of the listing in the 'acls' directory for my IQN: --- START --- /iscsi/iqn.20...gt1/tpg1/acls> ls o- acls .............................................................. [ACLs: 1] o- iqn.1994-05.com.redhat:ba4cc8b3368e ...................... [Mapped LUNs: 1] | o- mapped_lun0 .................................... [lun0 block/block1 (rw)] --- END --- So it appears as though my host's initiator is mapped to my LUN 0. When I go in to oVirt and add iSCSI storage, the "Discover" finds my target, and I can even log in successfully, however when I click on the "LUNS->Targets" side tab, there are no LUNs listed, so I cannot add any iSCSI storage. Any ideas on why the LUN is not showing up? Thanks! :-) Regards, Alan

Multiple Networks on Self Hosted Engine

by Brent Miles

I am trying to install RHEVM 3.5 Self Hosted Engine. I have multiple vlan interfaces on the host that I would also like to have available on the self hosted engine. I have eth0.305 and eth3.306 on the host that I would like to have available on RHEVM. During the hosted-engine setup I get the option to add only one of interfaces but not both and do not seem to be able to add a second network at any point during setup or after the engine vm is installed. Any advise on doing this?
