iSCSI multipathing missing tab
by Nicolas Ecarnot 22 Nov '17

22 Nov '17

Hello, oVirt 4.1.6.2-1.el7.centos Under the datacenter section, I see no iSCSI multipathing tab. As I'm building this new DC, could this be because this DC is not yet initialized? -- Nicolas ECARNOT

Need advise/help/ideas to implement a two sites disaster-recovery with ovirt
by wodel youchi 21 Nov '17

21 Nov '17

Hi, We want to implement two sites with ovirt and have disaster-recovery, if site one is unreachable, then site two takes-over. We will be using iSCSI for Data domains Our initial idea is : - install the first site : - self-hosted engine - iscsi blocks for data domains - install the second site: - self-hosted engine. - iscsi blocks for data domain. Use the snapshot synchronization of the disk-array to sync iscsi blocks/volumes. The two self-hosted engine will be independent. In case of a failure : - break the synchronization - Access the data domain in site two - start the VMs. oVirt does not manage replication of VMs itself, someone may argue that it's not it's purpose, but what about selecting the VMs to replicate?? in case of NFS we may (I don't know really if it's possible) have some access to the VMs disk files, but in block mode with LVM in it, things become complicated. So if someone has implemented such architecture, could you please share the experience, give advice and ideas on how to best implement this.

Issue with ovirt-ansible-roles

Hello, i'm playing with ovirt-ansible-roles for building a standard configuration to be applied to all my ovirt setups.

Openshift in VMs created from oVirt
by Wayna Runa 21 Nov '17

21 Nov '17

Hi there!, I've oVirt running and providing several VMs (CentOS and RedHat), now I want to provide VMs with minimalist Openshift cluster running inside to developers. Minishift creates a VM with Openshift locally, that is fine, but now we have oVirt to provide VMs which the developers can get access remotely. How I can use oVirt to do that?. Thanks in advance. -- *Wayna Runa*

ovirt node and logical networks on same physical one
by Gianluca Cecchi 21 Nov '17

21 Nov '17

Hello, I'm going to setup an environment where unfortunately I will have only a flat physical class B private network available, for all my scopes. There are 2 stacked switches where the hypervisors' nics will connect to. My hypervisors will have 6 network interfaces so that potentially I could configure 3 bonds: one for mgmt, one for migration, one for VMs. But this way each hypervisor will have its mgmt ip and its migration ip on the same lan and also the IP of a VM running inside it will stay in the same lan. Is this kind of configuration feasible for a test? Any suggestion based on these constraints? If this matter, I'm going to install hypervisors as oVirt nodes Thanks, Gianluca

Info about xeon mp dunnington support

21 Nov '17

Hello, I should start configuring a lab environment where I should have available some IBM 3850 M2 servers with E7450 Xeon cpu (also known as Dunnington). Spec page of processor here: https://ark.intel.com/it/products/36941/Intel-Xeon-Processor-E7450-12M-Cach… Can you tell me if they are compatible with oVirt 4.1 for testing; used by anyone on list? Base on this following link I presume it should be detected as Penryn from oVirt, correct? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Intel_codenames I have not them physically accessible right now but I'm just moving to avoid, if possible, compatibility problems. Thanks, Gianluca

Why was HE Install made OVA only?

Hi, What was the reasoning behind making Hosted Engine install OVA only? The PXEBoot feature always worked really well for me, and now I have a number of extra steps to achieve the same end result. Thanks, Alan
