Local storage & shared in same cluster
by Sebastian Greco 02 Nov '16

02 Nov '16

Hi, Is there a technical reason for not being able to use the local host storage if that host is already in a cluster with shared storage? For instance, if a user has a server with with a lot of storage and he wants to use that storage for non HA VMs that will only run over that host while, that host is also part of a cluster running VMs in a shared storage. If there's no technical reason/limitation behind this and this is a design choice, do you consider this to be in a roadmap? Thanks!

unable to pull 2 gluster nodes into ovirt
by Thing 01 Nov '16

01 Nov '16

I have 3 gluster nodes, 1 and 2 repeatedly fail to come in to ovirt but node 3 worked first time. It appears to be saying ssh-keys / root password is failing, but I can ssh in fine from teh command line so this message makes no sense. attached is a host deploy log

Hi, I have latest ovirt master and i see that Hosted Engine CPU is always shown 100%. But the actual usage in the system is very less. Is this a known issue or a bug ? Thanks kasturi

mass upload of disks?
by Ben De Luca 01 Nov '16

01 Nov '16

Hi, I was wondering if there was a method on the cli/script to mass upload disks to ovirt. The web loader is great, but also I have 20 disks that I really just want to upload via shell. I can't seem to find a tool to do it, I have found ovirt-image-uploader (but that's for ovf files). I hoped that I could just pull the date directly off nfs but that doesnt seem to be possible, or I am blind? Thanks -Ben

Setting DNS servers problem on ovirt
by Thing 01 Nov '16

01 Nov '16

Hi, I have installed IPA across 3 nodes. In order to point the ovirt server at the new IPA/DNS servers and to clean up I ran engine-cleanup aiming to delte the ovirt setup. However it seems even though I ran this something, "vdsm?" is still running and controlling the networking. So down under /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts I see, ========= /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts [root@ovirt1 network-scripts]# ls -l total 256 -rw-rw-r--. 1 root root 130 Nov 1 10:32 ifcfg-enp0s25 -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 254 Sep 16 2015 ifcfg-lo -rw-rw-r--. 1 root root 252 Nov 1 10:32 ifcfg-ovirtmgmt 8><----- ========== So my first Q is why when I run engine-cleanup isnt the networking cleaned up? should I file this as a bugzilla? After that I can see that ifcfg-ovirtmgmt is still controlling DNS, ========== 8><---- [root@ovirt1 network-scripts]# tail ifcfg-ovirtmgmt ONBOOT=yes IPADDR=192.168.1.34 NETMASK=255.255.255.0 GATEWAY=192.168.1.1 BOOTPROTO=none MTU=1500 DEFROUTE=yes NM_CONTROLLED=no IPV6INIT=no DNS1=192.168.1.240 [root@ovirt1 network-scripts]# =========== So I tried to set, DNS1=192.168.1.31 DNS2=192.168.1.32 DNS3=192.168.1.33 rebooted and, no I see, DNS1=192.168.1.240 again So I also see that the vdsm service is still running, ========== [root@ovirt1 network-scripts]# systemctl status vdsm-network.service ● vdsm-network.service - Virtual Desktop Server Manager network restoration Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/vdsm-network.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled) Active: active (exited) since Tue 2016-11-01 10:32:51 NZDT; 2h 0min ago Process: 2873 ExecStart=/usr/bin/vdsm-tool restore-nets (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Process: 2848 ExecStartPre=/usr/bin/vdsm-tool --vvverbose --append --logfile=/var/log/vdsm/upgrade.log upgrade-unified-persistence (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) Main PID: 2873 (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS) CGroup: /system.slice/vdsm-network.service Nov 01 10:32:45 ovirt1.ods.graywitch.co.nz python[2887]: DIGEST-MD5 client step 2 Nov 01 10:32:45 ovirt1.ods.graywitch.co.nz python[2887]: DIGEST-MD5 parse_server_challenge() Nov 01 10:32:45 ovirt1.ods.graywitch.co.nz python[2887]: DIGEST-MD5 ask_user_info() Nov 01 10:32:45 ovirt1.ods.graywitch.co.nz python[2887]: DIGEST-MD5 client step 2 Nov 01 10:32:45 ovirt1.ods.graywitch.co.nz python[2887]: DIGEST-MD5 ask_user_info() Nov 01 10:32:45 ovirt1.ods.graywitch.co.nz python[2887]: DIGEST-MD5 make_client_response() Nov 01 10:32:45 ovirt1.ods.graywitch.co.nz python[2887]: DIGEST-MD5 client step 3 Nov 01 10:32:51 ovirt1.ods.graywitch.co.nz python[2887]: DIGEST-MD5 client mech dispose Nov 01 10:32:51 ovirt1.ods.graywitch.co.nz python[2887]: DIGEST-MD5 common mech dispose Nov 01 10:32:51 ovirt1.ods.graywitch.co.nz systemd[1]: Started Virtual Desktop Server Manager network restoration.

So I need to know where this info is stored? so I can edit is via the CLI? database? There is no web ui running as engine-cleanup has removed that so I cant work via the web ui. Is there anything else I need to manually stop, disable and remove after running engine-cleanup? thanks

Kill a failed VM import
by Chris Cowley 31 Oct '16

31 Oct '16

Hello all I have just imported physical machine into my export datastore using virt-p2v. While I was importing it, my hosted-engine died (VM went into paused state) during the disk-copy stage. Now, that half-imported VM is in the status "image locked" and I am un able to do anything with it. The disk image does not seem to be in my master data store so I think I can safely delete the VM and re-import it. However, that is not available in the web GUI. How can I work around that and force the deletion?

Local and Shared storage in same datacenter
by Mike (maillinglists) 31 Oct '16

31 Oct '16

Hi guys, There have been a few related questions already that I could find, but I did not find anything relating to my specific use case. Currently it is not possible to mix local storage with shared storage in the same datacenter. The reason seems to be because of the storage pool manager (SPM). This is a role in the datacenter provided to one specific host. While I understand that this makes having local storage impossible, I believe there is a use case to have local storage in a shared storage datacenter. Consider the following: I have a few applications that require 1 milli second latency and at most 2 milli second. That is not consistenly achievable with shared storage, to that end I added flash storage to a few hypervisors. About 5% of my servers require this and are not that resource hungry to require a dedicated physical server. That same 5% also has no requirement to be migrated if a host fails. So in short I have 5 heavy hosts running ovirt with a shared storage domain on NFS for 95% of my servers. All running fine, but I am now unable to run my remaining 5%. To finish up my summary I have been testing various virtualization technologies, like VmWare and Hyper-V. They allow such configurations as I mentioned. I already had some chat on irc with various guys and they suggested that I put this on the mailing list, so here goes. My suggestion would be to evoluate from SPM to SDM. SDM stands for Storage Domain Manager. This would create the possibility to have all nodes in the datacenter participate in the storage handling. A extra benefit would be that local storage could be added. What do you think? Thanks for reading. Kind regards, Mike van Goor
