cpu hotplug cannot be applied for windows 10
by zodaoko＠gmail.com 29 Mar '19

29 Mar '19

Hi there, I am running ovirt engine 4.2.8. I did cpu hotplug for windows 10 guest os, ovirt (from 1*2*1 to 2*2*1) successfully, and the output of virsh vcpuinfo also shows now there are total 4 vcpus: # virsh --readonly vcpuinfo 13 VCPU: 0 CPU: 51 State: running CPU time: 3911.8s CPU Affinity: yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy VCPU: 1 CPU: 15 State: running CPU time: 907.7s CPU Affinity: yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy VCPU: 2 CPU: 26 State: running CPU time: 1086.2s CPU Affinity: yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy VCPU: 3 CPU: 2 State: running CPU time: 1085.7s CPU Affinity: yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy Issue: But when I log into windows 10, from the task manager, there are only two vcpus listed. Then I opened device manager, and found that there are 4 processors listed. refer to https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1377155, I have updated os to the latest version 1809. refer to the ovirt doc, cpu hot plug is explicitly supported for windows 10 (both x86 and x86_64) , but from my testing result, the cpu hotplug was not applied. So is this a windows 10 bug? or is there any workaround? Thank you! Thanks, -Zhen

Hi, I updated ou oVirt cluster to 4.3.2 and when i try to update the cluster version to 4.3 i get the following error: CLUSTER_CANNOT_DISABLE_GLUSTER_WHEN_CLUSTER_CONTAINS_VOLUMES So far I remember I could update the cluster version to 4.2 without having to stop everything. I've searched around about this error but couldn't find anything.

virsh edit vm not saving after reboot
by Dev Ops 29 Mar '19

29 Mar '19

I am trying to get Cisco ISE installed into Ovirt. I was told I needed to do a virsh edit on the vm and change a line in the smbios settings. This is all simple enough. After a reboot or shutdown/restart the settings revert back to what they were before. A dump of the XML in fact shows the original settings that I had changed. Since I can't edit the file while the VM is off I am not sure how to save this config change. My issue is similar to this: https://access.redhat.com/discussions/2720821 I have been reading and digging around with no luck. I just can't seem to make this change static. Thanks!

ovirt data domain with multi luns, any best practice
by adam_xu＠adagene.com.cn 28 Mar '19

28 Mar '19

Hello, everyone. I had a question on how to create a data domain in the best way. for example, I have a FCP device and there's a lot of hdds and ssds in that device. I ceate 2 luns. one consisting of HDDs and the other consisting of SSDs. I want to make some normal vms run in the lun with hdd and some vms (such as DB) run in the lun with ssd. so, shoud I create one data domain with the 2 luns. or shoud I create 2 difference data domains, and every data domain with a single lun in it? thanks. yours Adam

User permissions needed to clone template disk
by Wood Peter 27 Mar '19

27 Mar '19

Hi, Users have PowerUserRole permissions on the cluster and the storage objects. Also TemplateCreator role on the Datacenter. When users create VMs from templates there is no option to clone the disk and create independent VM disk. The resource allocation section is not visible at all. What permissions should I give users so they can clone the disk when creating a VM from a template? Using oVirt 4.2.8.2-1.el7 Thank you, -- Peter
