[Users] Lifecycle / upgradepath
by Sven Kieske 11 May '19

11 May '19

Hi Community, Currently, there is no single document describing supported (which means: working ) upgrade scenarios. I think the project has matured enough, to have such an supported upgradepath, which should be considered in the development of new releases. As far as I know, currently it is supported to upgrade from x.y.z to x.y.z+1 and from x.y.z to x.y+1.z but not from x.y-1.z to x.y+1.z directly. maybe this should be put together in a wiki page at least. also it would be cool to know how long a single "release" would be supported. In this context I would define a release as a version bump from x.y.z to x.y+1.z or to x+1.y.z a bump in z would be a bugfix release. The question is, how long will we get bugfix releases for a given version? What are your thoughts? -- Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Regards Sven Kieske Systemadministrator Mittwald CM Service GmbH & Co.

[Users] Nested virtualization with Opteron 2nd generation and oVirt 3.1 possible?
by Gianluca Cecchi 11 May '19

11 May '19

Hello, I have 2 physical servers with Opteron 2nd gen cpu. There is CentOS 6.3 installed and some VM already configured on them. Their /proc/cpuinfo contains ... model name : Dual-Core AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 8222 ... kvm_amd kernel module is loaded with its default enabled nested option # systool -m kvm_amd -v Module = "kvm_amd" Attributes: initstate = "live" refcnt = "15" srcversion = "43D8067144E7D8B0D53D46E" Parameters: nested = "1" npt = "1" ... I already configured a fedora 17 VM as a oVirt 3.1 Engine I'm trying to configure another VM as oVirt 3.1 node with ovirt-node-iso-2.5.5-0.1.fc17.iso It seems I'm not able to configure so that ovirt install doesn't complain. After some attempts, I tried this in my vm.xml for the cpu: <cpu mode='custom' match='exact'> <model fallback='allow'>athlon</model> <vendor>AMD</vendor> <feature policy='require' name='pni'/> <feature policy='require' name='rdtscp'/> <feature policy='force' name='svm'/> <feature policy='require' name='clflush'/> <feature policy='require' name='syscall'/> <feature policy='require' name='lm'/> <feature policy='require' name='cr8legacy'/> <feature policy='require' name='ht'/> <feature policy='require' name='lahf_lm'/> <feature policy='require' name='fxsr_opt'/> <feature policy='require' name='cx16'/> <feature policy='require' name='extapic'/> <feature policy='require' name='mca'/> <feature policy='require' name='cmp_legacy'/> </cpu> Inside node /proc/cpuinfo becomes processor : 3 vendor_id : AuthenticAMD cpu family : 6 model : 2 model name : QEMU Virtual CPU version 0.12.1 stepping : 3 microcode : 0x1000065 cpu MHz : 3013.706 cache size : 512 KB fpu : yes fpu_exception : yes cpuid level : 2 wp : yes flags : fpu vme de pse tsc msr pae mce cx8 apic mtrr pge mca cmov pat pse36 clflush mmx fxsr sse sse2 syscall mmxext fxsr_opt lm nopl pni cx16 hypervisor lahf_lm cmp_legacy cr8_legacy bogomips : 6027.41 TLB size : 1024 4K pages clflush size : 64 cache_alignment : 64 address sizes : 40 bits physical, 48 bits virtual power management: 2 questions: 1) Is there any combination in xml file to give to my VM so that oVirt doesn't complain about missing hardware virtualization with this processor? 2) suppose 1) is not possible in my case and I still want to test the interface and try some config operations to see for example the differences with RHEV 3.0, how can I do? At the moment this complaint about hw virtualization prevents me to activate the node. I get Installing Host f17ovn01. Step: RHEV_INSTALL. Host f17ovn01 was successfully approved. Host f17ovn01 running without virtualization hardware acceleration Detected new Host f17ovn01. Host state was set to Non Operational. Host f17ovn01 moved to Non-Operational state. Host f17ovn01 moved to Non-Operational state as host does not meet the cluster's minimum CPU level. Missing CPU features : CpuFlags Can I lower the requirements to be able to operate without hw virtualization in 3.1? Thanks in advance, Gianluca

Re: oVirt and NetApp NFS storage
by Strahil 10 May '19

10 May '19

I know 2 approaches. 1. Use NFS hard mounting option - it will never give error to sanlock and it will be waiting until NFS is recovered (never tries this one, but in theory might work) 2. Change the default sanlock timeout (last time I tried that - it didn't work) . You might need help from Sandro or Sahina for that option.

Ovirt nodeNG RDMA support?
by michael＠wanderingmad.com 09 May '19

09 May '19

When I was able to load CentosOS as a host OS, Was able to use RDMA, but it seems like the 4.3x branch of nodeNG is missing RDMA support? I enabled rdma and started the service, but gluster refuses to recognize that RDMA is available and always reports RDMA port as 0 and when I try to make a new drive with tcp,rdma transport options, it always fails.

Please Help, Ovirt Node Hosted Engine Deployment Problems 4.3.2
by Todd Barton 06 May '19

06 May '19

I've having to rebuild an environment that started back in the early 3.x days. A lot has changed and I'm attempting to use the Ovirt Node based setup to build a new environment, but I can't get through the hosted engine deployment process via the cockpit (I've done command line as well). I've tried static DHCP address and static IPs as well as confirmed I have resolvable host-names. This is a test environment so I can work through any issues in deployment. When the cockpit is displaying the waiting for host to come up task, the cockpit gets disconnected. It appears to a happen when the bridge network is setup. At that point, the deployment is messed up and I can't return to the cockpit. I've tried this with one or two nic/interfaces and tried every permutation of static and dynamic ip addresses. I've spent a week trying different setups and I've got to be doing something stupid. Attached is a screen capture of the resulting IP info after my latest try failing. I used two nics, one for the gluster and bridge network and the other for the ovirt cockpit access. I can't access cockpit on either ip address after the failure. I've attempted this setup as both a single host hyper-converged setup and a three host hyper-converged environment...same issue in both. Can someone please help me or give me some thoughts on what is wrong? Thanks! Todd Barton

A while back I upgraded from 4.2.8 to 4.3.3 and only had one step remaining and that was to set the cluster compat level to 4.3 (from 4.2). When I tried this it gave the usual warning that each VM would have to be rebooted to complete, but then I got my first unusual piece when it then told me next that this could not be completed until each host was in maintenance mode. Quirky I thought, but I stopped all VMs and put both hosts into maintenance mode. I then set the cluster to 4.3. Things didn't want to become active again and I eventually noticed that I was being told the DC needed to be 4.3 as well. Don't remember that from before, but oh well that was easy. > > However, the DC and SD remains down. The hosts are non-op. I've powered everything off and started fresh but still wind up in the same state. Hosts will look like their active for a bit (green triangle) but then go non-op after about a minute.

oVirt and Ceph iSCSI: separating discovery auth / target auth ?
by Matthias Leopold 01 May '19

01 May '19

Hi, I'm trying to use the Ceph iSCSI gateway with oVirt. According to my tests with oVirt 4.3.2 * you cannot separate iSCSI discovery auth and target auth * you cannot use an iSCSI gateway that has no discovery auth, but uses CHAP for targets This means I'm forced to use the same credentials for discovery auth and target auth. In Ceph iSCSI gateway I can have multiple targets with use different credentials, but I can define discovery auth only once for the whole gateway (or have no discovery auth). If all of this is correct and I want to use the Ceph iSCSI gateway with oVirt * I have to use discovery auth * the credentials for discovery auth will give every other Ceph iSCSI gateway user access to the oVirt target This is not a desirable situation. Did I understand anything wrong? Are there other ways to solve this? thx matthias

hello dear all, is it possible to make a compute-nove VM inside oVirt, using which, to be able to create VM instances inside oVirt through openstack horizon? to make it simple, is it possible to have oVirt has the hypervisor for openstack, while having a nova-compute node as a VM inside ovirt? as a hint, the same thing is possible via vsphere vCenter, if we install vCenter driver on the nova-compute node. thank you for your support!

Update storage lease via python sdk

Hi, I'm trying to update a storage lease via python sdk but I can’t seem to figure out how to wait for the storage lease configuration to finish. The vm status does not show “configuration in progress” just “up” and the event is created as soon as I issue the update, not when its done. Can someone give me a hint or point me to an example? https://github.com/Klaas-/ovirt-engine-sdk/blob/4094d3a2d4b011d4926e58374dd… Greetings Klaas

> Each data has to be written on the host itself and on the two remote ones so you are going to have 1000 mbps / 2 (external replicas ) / 8 (bit/bytes) = a max of 62.5 MB/s sustained throughput shared between all the VMs and this ignoring all the overheads. > In practice it will be much less ending in a barely usable environment. I am currently in this type of setup (replica 2 arbiter 1 on 1 gbit/s both storage and oVirt connectivity) and the maximum write (sequential) speed I can reach is aprox 89 MB/s. I guess with replica 3 the maximum will be as Simone stated. My maximum read speed is aprox 500 MB/s despite that local NVMe is capable of 1.3 GB/s and I guess FUSE is not using the local brick no matter I have set it up with cluster.use-local (or whatever it was called). If possible , get a 10 gbit/s connectivity or multiple gbit interfaces ( as I'm planing to do in the nearest future). Best Regards, Strahil Nikolov

Ovirt Nested in VMWare (Working approach)
by RabidCicada 30 Apr '19

30 Apr '19

I worked through this previously and posted in IRC yesterday about working around running ovirt nested under VMWare. I figured i'd post it to the mail group so that it would be available in it's entirety here for future reference: The following gists explain the 3 major adjustments that have to be made currently to get nested virt under vmware working: https://gist.github.com/RabidCicada/993349b3a7eaf35637122f0122fdedb3 https://gist.github.com/RabidCicada/bc01eb0b13195faa26520c0fb666ec34 https://gist.github.com/RabidCicada/37ff6f1ed2afd8dd4edefac735536c69 https://gist.github.com/RabidCicada/40655db1582ca5d07c9bbf2c429cdd01 Hopefully it can save others the huge amount of time it took me to figure it all out. Specifically it's a problem with the --machine type at 3 major parts of the vm creation for the hosted-engine. 1) You have to fix the virt-install to use --machine pc-i440fx-rhel7.2.0 2) You have to fix the guestfish spinup of the partially configured vm to use --machine pc-i440fx-rhel7.2.0, where they edit the nic config among other things 3) You have to tell vdsm on the node to use --machine pc-i440fx-rhel7.2.0 I don't know the underlying reason why a --machine type > pc-i440fx-rhel7.2.0 breaks the system but it ends up resulting in a bios freeze. Again, Hope this helps someone. Suggested only to use for a test/dev system.

ovirt 4.3.3 cannot create VM in non-default cluster
by Strahil Nikolov 29 Apr '19

29 Apr '19

Hi All, I'm having an issue to create a VM in my second cluster called "Intel" which consists of only 1 Host -> ovirt3 which plays the role of a gluster arbiter in my hyperconverged setup. When I try to create the VM (via UI) I receive: "Cannot add VM. CPU Profile doesn't match provided Cluster." When I try to select the host where I can put the VM , I see only ovirt1 or ovirt2 which are part of the 'Default' Cluster . Do we have an opened bug for that ? Note: A workaround is to create the VM in the Default cluster and later edit it to match the needed Cluster. Best Regards,Strahil Nikolov

Upgraded ovirt-4.2 to ovirt-4.3 and VM run fails
by Gobinda Das 29 Apr '19

29 Apr '19

Hi, I have upgraded ovirt-4.2 to ovirt-4.3 and after upgrade while starting vms giving me error: Cannot run VM. There is no host that satisfies current scheduling constraints. See below for details: The host *node1.test.com <http://node1.test.com>* did not satisfy internal filter ClusterInMaintenance because the cluster is in maintenance and only highly available VMs are allowed to start. The host *node2.test.com <http://node2.test.com>* did not satisfy internal filter ClusterInMaintenance because the cluster is in maintenance and only highly available VMs are allowed to start. The host *node3.test.com <http://node3.test.com>* did not satisfy internal filter ClusterInMaintenance because the cluster is in maintenance and only highly available VMs are allowed to start. Eventhough cluster is not in maintenance mode. This setup is using gluster6 for storage. -- Thanks, Gobinda

HA VMs fail to start on host failure
by tezmobile＠googlemail.com 29 Apr '19

29 Apr '19

In a host failure situation, we see that oVirt tries to restart the VMs on other hosts in the cluster but this (more often than not) fails due to kvm being unable to acquire a write lock on the qcow2 image. We see ovirt attempt to restart the VMs several times, each time on different hosts but with the same outcome after which it gives up trying. After this we must log into the oVirt web interface and start the VM manually, which works fine (by this time we assume enough time has passed for the lock to clear itself). This behaviour is experienced with Centos 7.6, Libvirt 4.5.0-10, vdsm 4.30.13-1 Log excerpt from hosted engine: 2019-04-24 17:05:26,653+01 INFO [org.ovirt.engine.core.vdsbroker.monitoring.VmAnalyzer] (EE-ManagedThreadFactory-engineScheduled-Thread-82) [] VM 'ef7e04f0-764a-4cfe-96bf-c0862f1f5b83'(vm-21.example.local) moved from 'WaitForLaunch' --> 'Down' 2019-04-24 17:05:26,710+01 ERROR [org.ovirt.engine.core.dal.dbbroker.auditloghandling.AuditLogDirector] (EE-ManagedThreadFactory-engineScheduled-Thread-82) [] EVENT_ID: VM_DOWN_ERROR(119), VM vm-21.example.local is down with error.

Template Disk Corruption
by Alex McWhirter 29 Apr '19

29 Apr '19

1. Create server template from server VM (so it's a full copy of the disk) 2. From template create a VM, override server to desktop, so that it become a qcow2 overlay to the template raw disk. 3. Boot VM 4. Shutdown VM 5. Delete VM Template disk is now corrupt, any new machines made from it will not boot. I can't see why this happens as the desktop optimized VM should have just been an overlay qcow file...
