Support for Shared SAS storage
by Vinícius Ferrão
Hello,
I’ve two compute nodes with SAS Direct Attached sharing the same disks.
Looking at the supported types I can’t see this on the documentation: https://www.ovirt.org/documentation/admin-guide/chap-Storage.html
There’s is local storage on this documentation, but my case is two machines, both using SAS, connected to the same machines. It’s the VRTX hardware from Dell.
Is there any support for this? It should be just like Fibre Channel and iSCSI, but with SAS instead.
Thanks,

Hi Leo,
As you do not have a distributed volume , you can easily switch to replica 2 arbiter 1 or replica 3 volumes.
You can use the following for adding the bricks:

Failed to add storage domain
by thunderlight1＠gmail.com
Hi!
I have installed oVirt using the iso ovirt-node-ng-installer-4.3.2-2019031908.el7. I the did run the Host-engine deployment through Cockpit.
I got an error when it tries to create the domain storage. It sucessfully mounted the NFS-share on the host. Bellow is the error I got:

How to connect to a guest with vGPU ?
by Josep Manel Andrés Moscardó
Hi,
I got vGPU through mdev working but I am wondering how I would connect
to the client and make use of the GPU. So far I try to access the
console through SPICE and at some point in the boot process it switches
to GPU and I cannot see anything else.
Thanks.

Ubuntu 18.04 and 16.04 cloud images hang at boot up
by suaro＠live.com
I'm using oVirt 4.3 (latest ) and able to successfully provision Centos VMs without any problems.
When I attempt to provision Ubuntu VMs, they hang at startup.
The console shows :
...
...
[ 4.010016] Btrfs loaded
[ 101.268594] random: nonblocking pool is initialized
It stays like this indefinitely.
Again, I have no problems with Centos images, but need Ubuntu
Any tips greatly appreciated.

ovirt-guest-agent for CentOS 8
by Eduardo Mayoral
Hi,
Just like many of you I am testing my first CentOS 8 VMs on top of ovirt.
I am not finding the package ovirt-guest-agent.noarch . Closest I can
find is qemu-guest-agent.x86_64
After installing and starting it, I do see information reported on the
"Guest info" tab.
Can anybody confirm if this is indeed the agent we should be using? Is
there - or will there be - a more specific package for ovirt guests?
Thanks!

Re: Hyperconverged setup questions
by Strahil
Hi Marko,
I guess you can use distributed-replicated volumes and oVirt cluster with host triplets.

Re: Damaged hard disk in volume replica gluster
by Strahil
As you are replacing an old brick, you have to recreate the old LV and mount it on the same location.
Then you can use the gluster's "reset-brick" (i thing ovirt UI has that option too) and all data will be replicated there.
You got also the "replace-brick" option if you decided to change the mount location.
P.S.: with replica volumes your volume should be still working, in case it has stopped - you have to investigate before proceeding.
Best Regards,
