Hi All, After a host reinstall + deploy (UI -> Hosts -> Management -> Reinstall) I see the following error in the ovirt-ha-broker : ovirt-ha-broker mgmt_bridge.MgmtBridge ERROR Failed to getVdsStats: No 'network' in result Anyone got an idea what is it going about ? Should I worry about that message ? Best Regards,Strahil Nikolov

Re: improve file operation speed in HCI

If you seek performance, then set tuned-adm profile in the VM to 'throughput-performance' and scheduler either 'noop' or 'none' (depends if multi queue is enabled). Usually, if yhou crete the gluster cluster via cockpit and then install the hosted engine via cockpit again - all options on your gluster volumes are the most optimal you need.

Hey! I am trying a static IP deployment. But the HE deployment fails during the VM preparation step and throws the following error - [ INFO ] TASK [ovirt.hosted_engine_setup : Parse libvirt default network configuration] [ ERROR ] fatal: [localhost]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "msg": "network default not found"} I tried restarting the network service, but the error is still persisting.

You can also use 'package-cleanup --cleandupes' to remove duplicate packages.

Hey guys! I got a wierd issue today doing 'yum upgrade' I'm hoping you can help me with. The transaction failed because of systemd packages. I can't update systemd packages because they're already the latest, but old versions are still around because of ovirt related dependencies: # rpm -q systemd systemd-219-62.el7_6.9.x86_64 systemd-219-67.el7_7.1.x86_64 # rpm -e systemd-219-62.el7_6.9.x86_64 error: Failed dependencies: systemd = 219-62.el7_6.9 is needed by (installed) systemd- python-219-62.el7_6.9.x86_64 # rpm -e systemd-python-219-62.el7_6.9.x86_64 error: Failed dependencies: systemd-python is needed by (installed) ovirt-imageio-proxy- 1.5.1-0.el7.noarch Is this something you are aware of or are am I a special little snowflake? :) /K

What is your I/O scheduler and tuned-adm profile in the VM. RedHat based VMs use deadline which prioritizes reads before writes -> you can use 'noop' or 'none'. For profile, you can use high-performance.

We tested it on the physical hardware with same CentOS 7 and same release of Ceph and it works like a charm. We also tried it with VMWare, and it works perfect. Of course, on VMWare we have to install open-VM-Tools in place of VMWare Guest tools.

Are you sure it's VM-related issue ?
