user role

Hi, We are an Higher Education Institution and have set up oVirt 4.3 as a Virtual Lab Environment, for both on-campus and distance learning students. We have integrated AD and can log in with AD credentials for users. However, I am struggling to find the right user role for normal student users. Basically, they need to be able to do the following: 1. Create a new VM and select from either a template or select an uploaded ISO 2. Start the VM 3. Restart the VM 4. Shutdown the VM 5. Snapshot the VM 6. Connect to the VM using either spice or vnc/novnc 7. Create a disk 8. Connect to the student network (only would be preferable here) as we have management networks that we dont want the students be be able to see or select (if possible) I have tested using the PowerUserRole, but that does not allow me to select VNC/noVNC or spice and does not allow me to install from an ISO, only a template. Any suggestions on role that I can give these users? Thanks. Kind regards Kim

Re: Does cluster upgrade wait for heal before proceeding to next host?

As far as I know, The UI allows the administrator to override the gluster status, although I always use that protection. In my opinion gluster health (especially in my setup - replica2 arbiter1) is very important.

I keep reading this chain and I still don't get what/who should wait for the cluster to heal... Is there some kind of built-in autopatching feature? Here is my approach: 1. Set global maintenance 2. Power off the engine 3. Create a gluster snapshot of the engine's volume 4. Power on engine manually 5. Check engine status 6. Upgrade engine 7. Upgrade engine's OS 8. Reboot engine and check health 9. Remove global maintenance 10. Set a host into local maintenance (evacuate all VMs) 11. Use UI to patch the host (enable autoreboot) 12. When host is up - login and check gluster volumes' heal status 13. Remove maintenance for the host and repeate for the rest of the cluster. I realize that for large clusters this approach is tedious and an automatic approach can be scripted.

Cannot Activate iSCSI Storage Domain After Errors
by Clint Boggio 16 Sep '19

16 Sep '19

Good Day To all; oVirt 4.3.4.3-1.el7 6 Dell R710 oVirt Nodes 10 gig Infiniband iSCSI Standalone Engine After an error during scheduled automated VM backkup, the iSCSi datastore that the VMs beinng backed up lived on suddenly went inactive and refuse to activate. The backup job did not finish as the source datastore went inactive but the task did clear from the console after i restarted the ovirt-engine service. I have tried: 1. Restart the ovirt-engine service 2. Restarted the engine physical server. 3. Tried to migrate the VM disks to a different datastore (failure) The virtual machines that are currently living on the inactive datastore are still running and accessible. Trying to reboot one of those VM as a test fails as the VM will not come up due to the system believing that the datastore is inactive.

Does cluster upgrade wait for heal before proceeding to next host?
by Jayme 16 Sep '19

16 Sep '19

I've yet to have cluster upgrade finish updating my three host HCI cluster. The most recent try was today moving from oVirt 4.3.3 to 4.3.5.5. The first host updates normally, but when it moves on to the second host it fails to put it in maintenance and the cluster upgrade stops. I suspect this is due to that fact that after my hosts are updated it takes 10 minutes or more for all volumes to sync/heal. I have 2Tb SSDs. Does the cluster upgrade process take heal time in to account before attempting to place the next host in maintenance to upgrade it? Or is there something else that may be at fault here, or perhaps a reason why the heal process takes 10 minutes after reboot to complete?

CentOS 6 in oVirt

Hello, are the official CentOS 6 cloud images known to work in oVirt? I tried, but they seem not to work in oVirt [1], but on plain libvirt. Are there any pitfalls known during using them in oVirt? Thanks Dominik [1] https://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/c/101117/

VMs stuck at Migrating status in Dashboard- Trying to cancel migration will yield "cannot cancel migration for non-migrating vm"

Saw this problem initially on one host. Host was stuck in entering maintenance mode since it could not migrate a VM from itself. Manually shutdown that VM and also restarted the host. After restart, some VMs are stuck in a migrating status while trying to "migrate" to the rebooted host. oVirt Node 4.3.1

How do I make delta clones ? OVM (aka Xen) vs Ovirt
by Tim Tuck 15 Sep '19

15 Sep '19

Hi all, I'm new to Ovirt coming from a OVM ( aka Xen ) environment and I'm trying to work out how to do similar things. In my OVM environment I have VMs that are 100GB in size. These VMs are templates that are used for running customer workshops so we create and destroy them quite often. In OVM I can clone 10 x 100GB VM's in about 1 minute, the cloning process just creates a "delta" VM rather than copying the entire 100GB. Those VM's can then be run and the on-disk size of the delta VM grows as it runs and deviates from the master. The same goes for templates, creating a 100GB VM from a template takes only a few seconds. Creating a template from a VM only takes a few seconds. My problem is that I cant seem to do any of this using Ovirt. it appears that there is no way to tell the cloning process " I want 10" like I can in OVM - am I missing something here? In my tests I find that even if a "snapshot" is made, the entire VM is copied rather than creating a delta. Creating a VM from a template is no different in that it copies the entire VM. So... Is it possible for Ovirt to create multiple clones on request ? Can Ovirt do "delta" copies rather than copy the entire VM ? If Ovirt can do these things, how do I set it up to to do that ? Any help appreciated. thanks Tim --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus
