ILO2 Fencing
by TomK 29 Mar '18

29 Mar '18

Hey Guy's, I've tested my ILO2 fence from the ovirt engine CLI and that works: fence_ilo2 -a 192.168.0.37 -l <USER> --password="<SECRET>" --ssl-insecure --tls1.0 -v -o status The UI gives me: Test failed: Failed to run fence status-check on host 'ph-host01.my.dom'. No other host was available to serve as proxy for the operation. Going to add a second host in a bit but anyway to get this working with just one host? I'm just adding the one host to oVirt for some POC we are doing atm but the UI forces me to adjust Power Management settings before proceeding.

Any monitoring tool provided?
by Terry hey 29 Mar '18

29 Mar '18

Dear all, Now, we can just read how many storage used, cpu usage on ovirt dashboard. But is there any monitoring tool for monitoring virtual machine time to time? If yes, could you guys give me the procedure? Regards Terry

Deploy Self-Hosted Engine in a Active Host
by FERNANDO FREDIANI 28 Mar '18

28 Mar '18

Hello As I mentioned in another thread I am migrating a 'Bare-metal' oVirt-Engine to a Self-Hosted Engine. For that I am following this documentation: https://ovirt.org/documentation/self-hosted/chap-Migrating_from_Bare_Metal_… However I think called me attention and I wanted to clarity: Must the Host that will deploy the Self-Hosted Engine be in Maintenance mode and therefore with no other VMs running ? I have a Node which is currently part of a Cluster and wish to deploy the Self-Hosted Engine to it. Must I have to put it into Maintenance mode first or can I just run the 'hosted-engine --deploy'. Note: this Self-Hosted Engine will manage the existing cluster where this Node exists. Guess that is not an issue at all and part of what Self-Hosted Engine is intended to. Thanks Fernando

oVirt Node Resize tool for local storage
by Matt Simonsen 28 Mar '18

28 Mar '18

Hello, We have a development box with local storage, running ovirt Node 4.1 It appears that using the admin interface on port 9090 I can resize a live partition to a smaller size. Our storage is a seperate LVM partition, ext4 formated. My question is, both theoretically and practically, if anyone has feedback on: #1: Does this work (ie- will it shrink the filesystem then shrink the LV)? #2: May we do this with VMs running? Thanks Matt

Re: [ovirt-users] Snapshot of the Self-Hosted Engine
by FERNANDO FREDIANI 28 Mar '18

28 Mar '18

Hello Sven and all. Yes storage does have the snapshot function and could be possibility be used, but I was wondering a even easier way through the oVirt Node CLI or something similar that can use the qcow2 image snapshot to do that with the Self-Hosted Engine in Global Maintenance. I used to run the oVirt Engine in a Libvirt KVM Virtual Machine in a separate Host and it has always been extremely handy to have this feature. There has been times where the upgrade was not successfully and just turning off the VM, starting it from snapshot saved my day.

Ping::(action) Failed to ping x.x.x.x, (4 out of 5)
by info＠linuxfabrik.ch 28 Mar '18

28 Mar '18

Hi all, we randomly and constantly have this message in our /var/log/ovirt- hosted-engine-ha/broker.log: /var/log/ovirt-hosted-engine-ha/broker.log:Thread-1::WARNING::2018-03- 27 08:17:25,891::ping::63::ping.Ping::(action) Failed to ping x.x.x.x, (4 out of 5) The pinged device is a switch (not a gateway). We know that a switch might drop icmp packets if it needs to. The interesting thing about that is if it fails it fails always at "4 out of 5", but in the end (5 of 5) it always succeeds. Is there a way to increase the amount of pings or to have another way instead of ping? Regards Markus

Testing oVirt 4.2
by wodel youchi 28 Mar '18

28 Mar '18

Hi, I am testing oVirt 4.2, I am using nested KVM for that. I am using two hypervisors Centos 7 updated and the hosted-Engine deployment using the ovirt appliance. For storage I am using iscsi and NFS4 Versions I am using : ovirt-engine-appliance-4.2-20180214.1.el7.centos.noarch ovirt-hosted-engine-setup-2.2.9-1.el7.centos.noarch kernel-3.10.0-693.21.1.el7.x86_64 I have a problem deploying the hosted-engine VM, when configuring the deployment (hosted-engine --deploy), it asks for the engine's hostname then the engine's IP address, I use static IP, in my lab I used *192.168.1.104* as IP for the VM engine, and I choose to add the it's hostname entry to the hypervisors's /etc/hosts But the deployment get stuck every time in the same place : *TASK [Wait for the host to become non operational]* After some time, it gave up and the deployment fails. I don't know the reason for now, but I have seen this behavior in */etc/hosts *of the hypervisor. In the beginning of the deployment the entry *192.168.2.104 engine01.example.local* is added, then sometime after that it's deleted, then a new entry is added with this IP *192.168.122.65 engine01.wodel.wd* which has nothing to do with the network I am using. Here is the error I am seeing in the deployment log 2018-03-24 11:51:31,398+0100 INFO otopi.ovirt_hosted_engine_setup.ansible_utils ansible_utils._process_output:100 TASK [Wait for the host to become non operational] 2018-03-24 12:02:07,284+0100 DEBUG otopi.ovirt_hosted_engine_setup.ansible_utils ansible_utils._process_output:94 {u'_ansible _parsed': True, u'_ansible_no_log': False, u'changed': False, u'attempts': 150, u'invocation': {u'module_args': {u'pattern': u'name=hyperv01.wodel.wd', u'fetch_nested': False, u'nested_attributes': []}}, u'ansible_facts': {u'ovirt_hosts': []}} 2018-03-24 12:02:07,385+0100 ERROR otopi.ovirt_hosted_engine_setup.ansible_utils ansible_utils._process_output:98 fatal: [loc alhost]: FAILED! => {"ansible_facts": {"ovirt_hosts": []}, "attempts": 150, "changed": false} 2018-03-24 12:02:07,587+0100 DEBUG otopi.ovirt_hosted_engine_setup.ansible_utils ansible_utils._process_output:94 PLAY RECAP [engine01.wodel.wd] : ok: 15 changed: 8 unreachable: 0 skipped: 4 failed: 0 2018-03-24 12:02:07,688+0100 DEBUG otopi.ovirt_hosted_engine_setup.ansible_utils ansible_utils._process_output:94 PLAY RECAP [localhost] : ok: 41 changed: 14 unreachable: 0 skipped: 3 failed: 1 2018-03-24 12:02:07,789+0100 DEBUG otopi.ovirt_hosted_engine_setup.ansible_utils ansible_utils.run:180 ansible-playbook rc: 2 2018-03-24 12:02:07,790+0100 DEBUG otopi.ovirt_hosted_engine_setup.ansible_utils ansible_utils.run:187 ansible-playbook stdou t: 2018-03-24 12:02:07,791+0100 DEBUG otopi.ovirt_hosted_engine_setup.ansible_utils ansible_utils.run:189 to retry, use: --limi t @/usr/share/ovirt-hosted-engine-setup/ansible/bootstrap_local_vm.retry 2018-03-24 12:02:07,791+0100 DEBUG otopi.ovirt_hosted_engine_setup.ansible_utils ansible_utils.run:190 ansible-playbook stder r: 2018-03-24 12:02:07,792+0100 DEBUG otopi.context context._executeMethod:143 method exception Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/otopi/context.py", line 133, in _executeMethod method['method']() File "/usr/share/ovirt-hosted-engine-setup/scripts/../plugins/gr-he-ansiblesetup/core/misc.py", line 186, in _closeup r = ah.run() File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/ovirt_hosted_engine_setup/ansible_utils.py", line 194, in run raise RuntimeError(_('Failed executing ansible-playbook')) RuntimeError: Failed executing ansible-playbook 2018-03-24 12:02:07,795+0100 ERROR otopi.context context._executeMethod:152 Failed to execute stage 'Closing up': Failed exec uting ansible-playbook any idea????
