upload_disk.py - CLI Upload Disk

Hi All. I'm using version 4.4.4 (latest stable version - ovirt-node-ng-installer-4.4.4-2020122111.el8.iso) I tried using the upload_disk.py script, but I don't think I knew how to use it. When I try to use it, these errors occur: *python3 /usr/share/doc/python3-ovirt-engine-sdk4/examples/upload_disk.py disk01-SO.qcow2 --disk-format qcow2 --sd-name ISOsusage: upload_disk.py [-h] -c CONFIG [--debug] [--logfile LOGFILE] [--disk-format {raw,qcow2}] [--disk-sparse] [--enable-backup] --sd-name SD_NAME [--use-proxy] [--max-workers MAX_WORKERS] [--buffer-size BUFFER_SIZE] filenameupload_disk.py: error: the following arguments are required: -c/--config* Using the upload_disk.py help: *python3 upload_disk.py --help-c CONFIG, --config CONFIG Use engine connection details from [CONFIG] section in ~/.config/ovirt.conf.* This CONFIG, is the API access configuration for authentication? Because analyzing the script I did not find this information. Does this new version work differently or am I doing something wrong? In the sdk_4.3 version of upload_disk.py I had to change the script to add the access information, but it worked. *[root@engineteste01 ~]# python3 upload_disk.py disk01-SO.qcow2Checking image...Disk format: qcow2Disk content type: dataConnecting...Creating disk...Creating transfer session...Uploading image...Uploaded 20.42%Uploaded 45.07%Uploaded 68.89%Uploaded 94.45%Uploaded 2.99g in 42.17 seconds (72.61m/s)Finalizing transfer session...Upload completed successfully[root@engineteste01 ~]#* Thank you all!! -- Att, Jorge Visentini +55 55 98432-9868

Windows 7 vm lost network connection under heavy network load
by Joey Ma 03 Jan '21

03 Jan '21

Hi folks, Happy holidays. I'm having an urgent problem :smile: . I've installed oVirt 4.4.2 on CentOS 8.2 and then created several Windows 7 vms for stress testing. I found that the heavy network load would lead to the e1000 net card NOT able to receive packets, it seemed totally blocked. In the meantime, packet sending was fine. Only re-enabling the net card can restore the network. Has anyone also had this problem? Looking forward to your insights. Much appreciated. Best regards, Joey

Cannot upgrade cluster to v4.5 (All hosts are CentOS 8.3.2011)
by Gilboa Davara 31 Dec '20

31 Dec '20

Hello all, I'm more-or-less finished building a new ovirt over glusterfs cluster with 3 fairly beefy servers. Nodes were fully upgraded to CentOS Linux release 8.3.2011 before they joined the cluster. Looking at the cluster view in the WebUI, I get an exclamation mark with the following message: "Upgrade cluster compatibility level". When I try to upgrade the cluster, 2 of the 3 hosts go into maintenance and reboot, but once the procedure is complete, the cluster version remains the same. Looking at the host vdsm logs, I see that once the engine refreshes their capabilities, all hosts return 4.2-4.4 and not 4.5. E.g. 'supportedENGINEs': ['4.2', '4.3', '4.4'], 'clusterLevels': ['4.2', '4.3', '4.4'] I assume I should be seeing 4.5 after the upgrade, no? AmI missing something? Thanks, - Gilboa

Best Practice? Affinity Rules Enforcement Manager or High Availability?
by souvaliotimaria＠mail.com 31 Dec '20

31 Dec '20

Hello everyone, Not sure if I should ask this here as it seems to be a pretty obvious question but here it is. What is the best solution for making your VMs able to automatically boot up on another working host when something goes wrong (gluster problem, non responsive host etc)? Would you enable the Affinity Manager and enforce some policies or would you set the VMs you want as Highly Available? Thank you very much for your time! Best regards, Maria Souvalioti

Re: Breaking up a oVirt cluster on storage domain boundary.

Then to migrate, you just need to power off the VM, Edit -> change cluster, network, etc and power it up. It will start on the hosts in the new cluster and then you just need to verify that the application is working properly. Best Regards, Strahil Nikolov

Breaking up a oVirt cluster on storage domain boundary.
by Matthew.Stier＠fujitsu.com 30 Dec '20

Is it possible to break up an oVirt cluster into multiple clusters? I have an Oracle Linux Virtualization Manager 4.3.6 cluster (think oVirt 4.3.6) that is hosting four different classes of VM's. I have acquired some additional hosts, and instead of adding them to my "default" cluster, I want to create three new clusters, and migrate each class of VM to its own cluster. Each class has its own network, and storage domains. Can I migrate storage domains, and thus all the VMs within that storage domain? Or will I need to build new cluster, with new storage domains, and migrate the VMs? Most of my VMs are built from templates. I assume that those cloned from templates will not be an issue. But some of my classes are thin provisioned, and I suspect I will have an issue with migrating those at the VM level, which is why I want to migrate them at the storage domain level.

Shrink iSCSI Domain
by Vinícius Ferrão 29 Dec '20

29 Dec '20

Hello, Is there any way to reduce the size of an iSCSI Storage Domain? I can’t seem to figure this myself. It’s probably unsupported, and the path would be create a new iSCSI Storage Domain with the reduced size and move the virtual disks to there and them delete the old one. But I would like to confirm if this is the only way to do this… In the past I had a requirement, so I’ve created the VM Domains with 10TB, now it’s just too much, and I need to use the space on the storage for other activities. Thanks all and happy new year.
