[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 10 May '19

10 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.

Need VM run once api

This is a multipart message in MIME format. --=_alternative 00361B2065257E90_= Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Hi Experts, We are integrating ovirt with our internal cloud. Here we installed cloudinit in vm and then converted vm to template. We deploy template with initial run parameter Hostname, IP Address, Gateway and DNS. but when we power ON initial, run parameter is not getting pushed to inside the vm. But its working when we power on VM using run once option on Ovirt portal. I believe we need to power ON vm using run once API, but we are not able get this API. Can some one help on this. I got reply on this query last time but unfortunately mail got deleted.

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

Re: All hosts non-operational after upgrading from 4.2 to 4.3

Are you able to access your iSCSI via the /rhev/data-center/mnt... mount point ?

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. It appears that my iSCSI sessions are active/logged in. The one glaring thing I see in the logs is this in vdsm.log: > > 2019-04-05 12:03:30,225-0400 ERROR (monitor/07bb1bf) [storage.Monitor] Setting up monitor for 07bb1bf8-3b3e-4dc0-bc43-375b09e06683 failed (monitor:329) > Traceback (most recent call last): > File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/vdsm/storage/monitor.py", line 326, in _setupLoop > self._setupMonitor() > File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/vdsm/storage/monitor.py", line 348, in _setupMonitor > self._produceDomain() > File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/vdsm/utils.py", line 158, in wrapper > value = meth(self, *a, **kw) > File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/vdsm/storage/monitor.py", line 366, in _produceDomain > self.domain = sdCache.produce(self.sdUUID) > File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/vdsm/storage/sdc.py", line 110, in produce > domain.getRealDomain() > File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/vdsm/storage/sdc.py", line 51, in getRealDomain > return self._cache._realProduce(self._sdUUID) > File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/vdsm/storage/sdc.py", line 134, in _realProduce > domain = self._findDomain(sdUUID) > File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/vdsm/storage/sdc.py", line 151, in _findDomain > return findMethod(sdUUID) > File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/vdsm/storage/sdc.py", line 176, in _findUnfetchedDomain > raise se.StorageDomainDoesNotExist(sdUUID) > StorageDomainDoesNotExist: Storage domain does not exist: (u'07bb1bf8-3b3e-4dc0-bc43-375b09e06683',) > > How do I proceed to get back operational?
