Re: huge page in ovirt 4.2.7
by Sharon Gratch 08 Apr '19

08 Apr '19

Hi Fabrice, The "hugepages" custom property value in oVirt should be set to *size of the pages in KiB* (i.e. 1GiB = 1048576, 2MiB = 2048). In addition, it is recommended to set the huge page size of the VM to the largest size supported by the host. In the configuration you sent, the huge page size of the VM is set to 64 KiB and since the VM's allocated memory size is at least 32,768 MiB then it requires at least (32768 * 1024/64=) 524,288 pages. Since you only have 120 pages declared in the host then it failed with an error "...there are not enough free huge pages to run the VM". So to solve the problem, please change the VM's huge page size to be the same as the host's huge page supported size which is 1GiB and therefore hugepages value should be 1048576 KiB instead of 64: <custom_property> <name>hugepages</name> <value>*1048576*</value> </custom_property> Please note that since total VM's memory size is no more than 64 GB then only 64 pages will be needed by the VM and it's < 120 pages supported by the host and therefore OK. Hope it helped.

Re: ERROR running your engine inside of the hosted-engine VM and are not in "Global Maintenance" mode

So if the engine is down, it's not going to update the DB and so it will never update the global maintenance status field.

4.3 rc2: info about shutdown of last host and networking page
by Gianluca Cecchi 07 Apr '19

07 Apr '19

Hello, env with single host HCI deployment from node ng iso After powering off VMs, put into global maintenance, shutdown hosted engine, I then run shutdown on host. This I think would simulate also a total shutdown scenario when you have the final step of shutdown of the final host. This is what I see in console about failure in several unmounts, both /var and /var/log and also gluster related filesystems Could there be any dependency problem? See here the screenshot: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1wqqXlmT66hHLJ8DMcwfPvDXJHkWm_ijE/view?usp=… Also I have not understood the networking page of host in Cockpit: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1isX4F8qPcFmTyhmCVnZadhp6NY0R9Sy7/view?usp=… in my scenario I was downloading a 1Gb image for the CentOS Atomic host from public glance repo. Questions: - how to explain the receiving box graph? What are the different color lines for? - In "receiving" column inside the "interfaces" sections I see all "0" for gluster one (eth1) and empty (no value) for ovirtmgmt (perhaps because it is unmanaged from host point of view?) Also, it seems to me that the temporary bridge for hosted engine deployment on 192.168.124.0 (virbr0) is still there even after finishing the deployment, even if with "no carrier"... is this expected? Better perhaps to undefine the network after deployment? Gianluca

Agentless Backup update: Trilio Vault...what a joke, pay $7500
by femi adegoke 07 Apr '19

07 Apr '19

Back in June of 2018, I posted regarding Agentless backup solutions. Greg Sheremeta replied & mentioned Trilio. The rest of the story...well just read on... These guys at Trilio have turned out to be a complete waste of time. (I could use some more colorful language) After my post & reply from Greg Sheremeta, I followed up with Trilio. A lot of promises/dates were made (by Trilio) as to when a beta would be made available for testing. Needless to say, they never came through. Finally in Dec 2018, they said we are ready for the demo, we will show you a working product. The day came, Trilio said, sorry it's too close to Xmas, we will postpone the demo's till 2019. In 2019, I continued to follow up & finally they set a date for another demo - Jan 29. On Jan. 29, we get on the Webex, they said, sorry the demo just broke 10 mins prior to our call, so no demo. They show me some screenshots & their OpenStack version & again promise to get me beta software in a few days. I continue to follow up (via email) Yesterday (Feb 6), I get an email from Thomas Lahive GM; Sales and Alliance Partners....(copied & pasted below): "We started RHV betas and decided to prioritize current Trilio customers (those that purchased Triliovault for Openstack). If you would like to be part of the beta now then We can sign you up as a certified Trilio reseller which has a $7,500 Starter Fee. The $7,500 will be credited against your first customer order that is at least $7,500 so it will eventually cost you nothing. Many of our partners can apply the fee against revenue so it's a great tax incentive, but you can confirm with your finance department. Please Lmk how you would like to proceed." Please remember, I have never seen a working demo of this product, never. Is this typical behavior of RH partners?

Can't manually migrate VM's (4.3.0)

26 Mar '19

I've been running 4.3.0 for a few weeks now and just discovered that I can't manually migrate VM's from the UI. I get an error message saying: "Could not fetch data needed for VM migrate operation" Sounds like https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?format=multiple&id=1670701 Ron.

Hello! i am new user to ovirt and i was trying to increase the memory of the hosted engine from 5120 MB to 10240 MB and the reports on the events are those bellow, the environment the hosted engine runs is on 3 ovirt nodes with version 4.2.8 and the hosted engine is updates with the latest version, any ideas how to set up things Failed to hot set memory to VM HostedEngine. Underlying error message: unsupported configuration: Attaching memory device with size '5242880' would exceed domain's maxMemory config VDSM command SetAmountOfMemoryVDS failed: unsupported configuration: Attaching memory device with size '5242880' would exceed domain's maxMemory config

Hosted Engine Storage migration
by joel+ovirt＠robisons.us 25 Mar '19

25 Mar '19

Hello listmembers! I'm in search of some steps to use to migrate my Hosted-Engine from one NFS storage domain to another different NFS storage domain. One of the possible ways to accomplish this task may already be a feature with oVirt 4.1, I'm using 4.2 https://lists.ovirt.org/pipermail/users/2017-January/078739.html (New feature in 4.1?) Will someone elaborate the steps to use this new feature and how I could use it to accomplish this task? the bug link in the email linked above has a comment (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1409112#c12) - does this mean I need to redeploy the hosted-engine? I'm not able to follow as I'm new to oVirt and still learning the ins and outs and design if I'm on the wrong path here please correct me. Thank you, -Joel

Hi all, I am just wondering if anyone like me would like to have everything that is bump here in a forum, with all the benefits it brings (and people will still be able to subscribe and reply through email). Something like Discourse would be nice in my opinion. Best.
