Hi Simone, > According to gluster administration guide: > https://docs.gluster.org/en/latest/Administrator%20Guide/Network%20Configur… > > in the "when to bond" section we can read: > network throughput limit of client/server \<\< storage throughput limit > > 1 GbE (almost always) > 10-Gbps links or faster -- for writes, replication doubles the load on the network and replicas are usually on different peers to which the client can transmit in parallel. > > So if you are using oVirt hyper-converged in replica 3 you have to transmit everything two times over the storage network to sync it with other peers. > > I'm not really in that details, but if https://bugzilla.redhat.com/1673058 is really like it's described, we even have an 5x overhead with current gluster 5.x. > > This means that with a 1000 Mbps nic we cannot expect more than: > 1000 Mbps / 2 (other replicas) / 5 (overhead in Gluster 5.x ???) / 8 (bit per bytes) = 12.5 MByte per seconds and this is definitively enough to have sanlock failing especially because we don't have just the sanlock load as you can imagine. > > I'd strongly advice to move to 10 Gigabit Ethernet (nowadays with a few hundred dollars you can buy a 4/5 ports 10GBASE-T copper switch plus 3 nics and the cables just for the gluster network) or to bond a few 1 Gigabit Ethernet links. I didn't know that. So , with 1 Gbit network everyone should use replica 3 arbiter 1 volumes to minimize replication traffic. Best Regards, Strahil Nikolov

VM bandwidth limitations
by John Florian 05 Apr '19

05 Apr '19

In my oVirt deployment at home, I'm trying to minimize the amount of physical HW and its 24/7 power draw. As such I have the NFS server for my domain virtualized. This is not used for oVirt's SD, but rather the NFS server's back-end storage comes from oVirt's SD. To maximize the performance of my NFS server, do I still need to use bonded NICs to increase bandwidth like I would a physical server or does the VirtIO-SCSI stuff magically make this unnecessary? In my head I can argue it both ways, but have never seen it stated one way or the other, oddly. -- John Florian

Hosted-Engine constantly dies
by Strahil Nikolov 05 Apr '19

05 Apr '19

Hi Guys, As I'm still quite new in oVirt - I have some problems finding the problem on this one.My Hosted Engine (4.3.2) is constantly dieing (even when the Global Maintenance is enabled).My interpretation of the logs indicates some lease problem , but I don't get the whole picture ,yet. I'm attaching the output of 'journalctl -f | grep -Ev "Started Session|session opened|session closed"' after I have tried to power on the hosted engine (hosted-engine --vm-start). The nodes are fully updated and I don't see anything in the gluster v5.5 logs, but I can double check. Any hints are appreciated and thanks in advance. Best Regards,Strahil Nikolov

oVirt 4.3.2 Importing VMs from a detached domain not keeping cluster info
by Strahil Nikolov 05 Apr '19

05 Apr '19

Hello, can someone tell me if this is an expected behaviour: 1. I have created a data storage domain exported by nfs-ganesha via NFS2. Stop all VMs on the Storage domain 3. Set to maintenance and detached (without wipe) the storage domain3.2 All VMs are gone (which was expected)4. Imported the existing data domain via Gluster5. Wen to the Gluster domain and imported all templates and VMs5.2 Power on some of the VMs but some of them failed The reason for failure is that some of the re-imported VMs were automatically assigned to the Default Cluster , while they belonged to another one. Most probably this is not a supported activity, but can someone clarify it ? Thanks in advance. Best Regards,Strahil Nikolov

NPE for GetValidHostsForVmsQuery
by nicolas＠devels.es 05 Apr '19

05 Apr '19

Hi, We're running oVirt 4.3.2. When we click on the "Migrate" button over a VM, an error popup shows up and in the ovirt-engine log we see: 2019-04-03 12:37:40,897+01 ERROR [org.ovirt.engine.core.bll.GetValidHostsForVmsQuery] (default task-6) [478381f0-18e3-4c96-bcb5-aafd116d7b7a] Query 'GetValidHostsForVmsQuery' failed: null I'm attaching the full NPE. Could someone point out what could be the reason for the NPE? Thanks.

Ansible hosted-engine deploy still doesnt support manually defined ovirtmgmt?
by Callum Smith 05 Apr '19

05 Apr '19

Dear All, We're trying to deploy our hosted engine remotely using the ansible hosted engine playbook, which has been a rocky road but we're now at the point where it's installing, and failing. We've got a pre-defined bond/VLAN setup for our interface which has the correct bond0 bond0.123 and ovirtmgmt bridge on top but we're hitting the classic error: Failed to find a valid in terface for the management network of host virthyp04.virt.in.bmrc.ox.ac.uk. If the interface ovirtmgmt is a bridge, it should be torn-down manually. Does this bug still exist in the latest (4.3) version, and is installing using ansible with this network configuration impossible?
