The feature everyone was asking for is finally here...
by Eyal Edri 09 Jan '17

FYI, After many requests from multiple developers and testers, the oVirt CI added a new simple job that lets you run the full fledged end-to-end oVirt system tests with a click of a button. You can read all the details and how-to in the new oVirt blog [1]. We wanted to allow running oVirt system tests on EVERY open patch from ANY oVirt project, without relaying on complex building code inside the job. Luckily we just added the 'build-on-demand' so together with it you can build any rpms you'd like and use them to run the manual job. So the 2 steps you'll need to do are: 1. Write 'ci please build' inside a comment on an open oVirt patch ( make sure the feature is enabled for that project first, its already available for ovirt-engine,vdsm,dashboard and vdsm-jsonrpc-java) 2. Run the manual OST job for the version you'd like to test with the URLs you got from #1 You'll get and email once the job is done and you can browse the results and check for logs from engine and the hosts. Please feel free to ask questions on infra(a)ovirt.org as usual.

4.0.6 eta?
by Gianluca Cecchi 09 Jan '17

09 Jan '17

Is it already defined? Any blocking factor? I would like to update a couple of test/lab environments currently in 4.0.4 and if possible I would by-pass 4.0.5 to directly jump to 4.0.6 + CentOS 7.3 if available in a few days. Thanks, Gianluca

Fwd: Error creating a storage pool
by Sergei Hanus 09 Jan '17

09 Jan '17

Hi, Fred. I'm using release 4.0.5. I made a fresh redeploy today and reproduced the issue. I'm attaching engine and vdsm log file, the time to look is around 12:15:13 Also, when I try to delete storage domain from engine - it also returns error, so, this domain seems to be stuck in configuration (it is also displayed at the end of engine log) Appreciate any comments. Sergei.

Guest agent for CentOS
by Jim Kusznir 09 Jan '17

09 Jan '17

Hello: I'm wanting to install the guest agent in one of my CentOS VMs. I looked on the documentation, and found this page: http://www.ovirt.org/documentation/internal/guest-agent/understanding-guest… It mentions that guest agent is available for CentOS, but does not provide a link to instructions. Due to similarities with Fedora, I followed the link there. It says to install "ovirt-guest-agent-common", but the package isn't found. I tried adding the ovirt SIG repos for my CentOS (7), and re-searched, but still it is not found. No links were provided to the RPM. Where do I find the CentOS guest agent? Perhaps the documentation online should be updated with this information, too...I'm sure I'm not the only one looking... --Jim

Backups take sooo long, how can I improve the situation, where is the bottleneck?
by Florian Nolden 09 Jan '17

09 Jan '17

Hallo everyone, I would like to update my Ovirt installation but, before that I would like to create proper VM backups. Currently I try to automate the backups and I use the implementation of the following project. https://github.com/wefixit-AT/oVirtBackup The main idea is to use the Ovirt-API to trigger a snapshot, create a new VM from the snapshot, delete the snapshot, export the vm to the export domain, delete the vm. This process takes even with only a 20 GB vm disk 55 Minutes. I have now 21 VMs with average 30 GB HDD space, that would mean that the backup job runs 22 hours. Is there something wrong with my setup? Config? Is there a better way to automate backups? Is anyone else doing VM Exports as backup or are you just using snapshots? Specs: HA Cluster 3 Nodes each has: 2x 6x 2.96 GHz, 96 GB RAM, 120 GB HDD for CentOS7, 1 TB SSD VM-Storage (Gluster FS), 4x 1 GBit LAN Bond, 4x 1GBit SAN Bond (Gluster Network, connection to Backup NAS/ Export Domain) Ovirt 4.0.3 The script output: Jan 05 14:12:16: Start backup for: wiki (20 GB) Jan 05 14:12:17: Snapshot creation started ... Jan 05 14:12:30: Snapshot created Jan 05 14:12:40: Clone into VM started ... Jan 05 14:36:37: Cloning finished Jan 05 14:36:38: Snapshot deletion started ...

Jan 05 15:07:15: Cloned VM deleted Jan 05 15:07:15: Duration: 55:0 minutes Jan 05 15:07:15: VM exported as wiki_BACKUP_010516 Jan 05 15:07:15: Backup done for: wiki Jan 05 15:07:15: All backups done Thanks, Florain

unable to start VMs after upgrade
by Jim Kusznir 08 Jan '17

08 Jan '17

Hello: I'm still fairly new to ovirt. I'm running a 3-node cluster largely built by Jason Brooks' howto for ovirt+gluster on the contributed docs section of the ovirt webpage. I had everything mostly working, and this morning when I logged in, I saw a new symbol attached to all three of my hosts indicating an upgrade is available. So I clicked on egine3 and told it to upgrade. It migrated my VMs off, did its upgrade, and everything looked good. I was able to migrate a vm or two back, and they continued to function just fine. Then I tried to upgrade eingine1, which was running my hosted engine. In theory, all three engines/hosts were set up to be able to run the engine, per Jason's instructions. However, it failed to migrate the engine off host1, and I realized that I still have the same issue I had on an earlier incarnation of this cluster: inability to migrate the engine around. Ok, I'll deal with that later (with help from this list, hopefully). I went on about the work I came in to do, and tried to start up a VM. It appeared to start, but it never booted. It did raise the CPU usage for that VM, but console was all black, no resize or anything. Tried several settings. This was on a VM I had just powered down. I noticed it was starting the VM on engine3, so I did a runonce specifying the vm start on engine2. Booted up just fine. After booting, I could migrate to engine3, and all was good. What happened? I get no error messages, starting any vm on engine3, start paused, attaching display, then running it, I always get the same thing: blank console, about 50% cpu usage reported by the web interface, no response on any network, and by all signs available to me, no actual booting (reminds me of a PC that doesn't POST). Simply changing the engine it starts on to one that has not been upgraded fixes the problem. I'd greatly appreciate your help: 1) how to fix it so the upgraded engine can start VMs again 2) How to fix the cluster so the HostedEngine can migrate between hosts (and I'm able to put host1 in maintence mode). Ovirt 4 series, latest in repos as of last weekend (Jan1). --Jim

VM Disks Locked

ReinitiaalizeFSM-EngineDown -- what does this mean?
by Jim Kusznir 07 Jan '17

07 Jan '17

Hello: I've been getting a bunch of e-mails from my ovirt system stating that a "state transition" has occurred, first: StartState-ReinitalizeFSM, then a 2nd e-mail ReinitailzeFSM-EngineDown. These are all for my host2 system, my hosted engine is running on host1. Host2 appears to be working just fine, and has the majority of my VMs on it at the moment. Timing is also a bit wierd: Got my first one at 12:05AM this morning, then 2:40, 2:55am, 4:20, 4:25, and 4:40am, then 7:11, 7:40, 9:51am and 12:26PM. I'd appreciate any insight! --Jim
