OVA import fails always
by Juan Pablo Lorier
Hi,
I'm running 4.3.8.2-1.el7 (just updated engine to see if it helps) and I
haven't been able to import vms in OVA format, I've tried many
appliances downloaded from the web but couldn't get them to work.
Any hints?

Re: Hyperconverged setup questions

Hi Marko,
I guess you can use distributed-replicated volumes and oVirt cluster with host triplets.

1-Host home setup question
by Christian Reiss
Hey folks,
for a home-vm setup (1 host): If I setup the Hardware with CentOS7,
configure Gluster et all by hand and get things up and running this way:
Would it be a viable option to install the ovirt engine directly on the
host as well? This would save some overhead. Or is running ovirt engine
directly inside an ovirt host, even using CentOS (not the node) not
recommended and will break things?

with kind regards,

Info on python SDK variable definition
by Gianluca Cecchi
Hello,
suppose in a .py using sdk I have
my_var1 = 'prefix'
then in the workflow I get at runtime another my_var2 that for example has
the attribute
my_var2.name that equals "suffix"
Then I want to define a new variable my_var3 with value "prefix_suffix",
where the string "suffix" is known only at runtime, how can I get it?
my_var3 = ???
Can I use something similar to what I do when using the print function?
print ("My storage domain is %s..." % sd.name)
?
Thanks,

oVirt Python SDK and monitor export as OVA task
by Gianluca Cecchi
Hello,
sometimes I have environments (typically with Oracle RDBMS on virtual
machines) where there is one boot disk and one (often big, such as 500Gb or
more) data disk.
The data disk has already its application backup (typically RMAN) and I
want to complement it with a backup of only the boot disk of the operating
system and VM configuration.
I'm almost done completing a script using oVirt Python SDK and sharing for
comments.
I could be wrong, but I didn't find any ansible module to do this with
Ansible playbooks: I can only save all the VM, that in my case wouldn't be
necessary and instead time and storage wasting.
The basic steps are:
- make a snapshot of the target vm, composed only by the boot disk
- clone the snapshot
- export the clone as OVA
- delete clone
- delete snapshot
There are some things to discuss about, probably when I will share the
overall job (such as the name to give to the boot disk, if not using the
bootable flag, the way to import the OVA in case of actual need, where you
will have to comment out some fs entries related to missing disks, ecc.).
The only thing missing is how to monitor the export to ova task that, as
with Ansible, it completes almost immediately, while the export is actually
altready running.
I need to monitor it, so only at its real end I can run the last 2 steps of
the above list of tasks.
Can you give me any hint? Not found very much in guide or docs on the web.
I'm currently using a sleep because my boot disk is about 20Gb in size and
I know that in less than 2 minutes it normally completes.
The export as ova is very similar to what found in the examples and they
don't contain a monitor for it but only the connection.close() call:
cloned_vm_service.export_to_path_on_host(
host=types.Host(id=host.id),
directory = export_as_ova_dir,
filename = cloned_vm.name + '.ova'
)
Thanks in advance,
Gianluca

EqualLogic SAN controller switchover
by Chris Adams
How well does oVirt handle an EqualLogic SAN controller switchover
event? IIRC that can result in a short iSCSI "pause" (can't remember
how long it takes) - I'm not sure what oVirt's threshold before VMs
(including the hosted engine) get paused for storage timeouts.
I've got a small setup where the active SAN controller's battery has
gone bad, so I need to switch to the other controller, and I'm trying to
figure out the impact - do I need to shut all VMs (including the engine)
down first, will they just briefly pause and then continue, etc.

oVirt 4.3.8 ovn vms doesn't ping
by Gianluca Cecchi
Hello,
I have an environment with oVirt 4.3.8.
All seems ok from a configuration point of view, but if I use OVN based
interfaces on two VMs, they are not able to ping, both if I put them on the
same host and if I put on different hosts.
At this point they are both running on the same host and their only vnic is
on ovn172 network (defined as 192.168.172.0/24).
I have this
manager
# ovn-nbctl show
switch fc2fc4e8-ff71-4ec3-ba03-536a870cd483
(ovirt-ovn192-1e252228-ade7-47c8-acda-5209be358fcf)
switch 87012fa6-ffaa-4fb0-bd91-b3eb7c0a2fc1
(ovirt-ovn193-d43a7928-0dc8-49d3-8755-5d766dff821a)

port aaddc425-3a38-49bf-bfc7-9eaeab82906e
addresses: ["00:1a:4a:19:01:58 dynamic"]
The two macs correspond to what I see for VMs in web admin gui and at os
level of the two VMs.
On the host where VMs are running I have:
# ovs-vsctl show
f1a41e9c-16fb-4aa2-a386-2f366ade4d3c
Bridge br-int
fail_mode: secure
Port "ovn-b8872a-0"
Interface "ovn-b8872a-0"
type: geneve
options: {csum="true", key=flow, remote_ip="10.4.192.34"}
Port br-int
Interface br-int
type: internal
Port "vnet0"
Interface "vnet0"
Port "ovn-1dce5b-0"
Interface "ovn-1dce5b-0"
type: geneve
options: {csum="true", key=flow, remote_ip="10.4.192.32"}
Port "vnet1"
Interface "vnet1"
ovs_version: "2.11.0"
So apparently I see the vnet0 and vnet1 ports associated with the two VMs
How can I check more in depth the reason why they don't ping?
Both VMs are CentOS 8.1 but I don't know if it is relevant.
Thanks,
Gianluca

oVirt 4.3.8 and almost unpredictable export as ova duration
by Gianluca Cecchi
Hello,
on a test oVirt environment I have export as ova task that, based on same
disk size (20Gb) it could last 35 seconds or 11 minutes....
During the long lasting test I see on host that almost all and only I/O (in
the measure of 6-7 MB/s) is done by a [loop0] process that has ppid 2 and
apparently (with "fuser" command on /dev/loop0 file) is uses by noone.
Is it implicitly used by the "qemu-img convert " command of the export as
ova?
Why so great difference in elapsed time? The disk is the same of the same
VM.
The oVirt env has almost nothing running only 2 CentOS 8.1 VMs doing
nothing.
Same host used for export as ova in the two runs in a 20 minutes timeframe.
As the path for OVA I'm temporarily using a connected export domain
subdirectory, using
directory='/rhev/data-center/mnt/10.4.192.69:_export_ovirt/dump'
Donna if it can have a role in the problem...
Thanks,
Gianluca
