[Users] host registration fails
by aru mon 23 Mar '12

23 Mar '12

Hi Team, After instaling ovinrt-engine and the ovirt-node on seperate servers, when i am trying to add the node into engine the registration is failing. I donot have a DNS for name resolution. I can add the hostnames into the engine servers /etc/hosts file, but not sure how to do it on the node server. Please help. Regards, Arumon

[Users] Question on configuring local storage on oVirt Node
by Hans Lellelid 23 Mar '12

23 Mar '12

Hi folks - I hope this is the right place for this question; I have tried to Google this but in general haven't been able to find much in the way of docs outside of the main installation guide. In aforementioned guide there are instructions for configuring local-only storage on oVirt Node machines: "On a oVirt Node host, set up the path for the local storage as /data/images. This is the only path permitted for a oVirt Node. On a Red Hat Enterprise Linux host other paths are supported but the directories to support it must be manually created first." I'm probably missing something, but it's unclear to me how to create this local storage mountpoint on that host. (I don't see anything in the Node TUI.) I tried simply specifying "/data/images" in the hopes that it was automatically created, but the Admin console just spun indefinitely (eventually refreshing the page revealed that the store was note created). I'm currently rebuilding that Node as a F16+VDSM box instead -- so I can get in there and set this up manually (is there a way to get into schell on oVirt Nodes and mess with the [F16-based?] OS?) Any guidance greatly appreciated. Thanks, Hans

[Users] Virtual Disk creation - really slow (config issue?) e.g 20GB disk created in 23 mins - NFS server/Gigabit switch - can anyone suggest why speed is so slow ? (at this rate it would take 1hr 40 mins to create a 100GB disk...)

Hi. After my many issues with spice I have finally sorted them out. Now I am having an issue with the speed of virtual disk creation - when I go to create a virtual disk it takes a long time (far to long to be usable) My setup is as following 3 servers:- 1 Frontend (ovirt engine) - Fedora 16 - external + local IP (91.215.xxx.xx + 10.0.0.10) 1 Ovirt node (using the node .iso) - external + local IP (ovirtmgmt (eth0) - 91.215.xxx.xxx and LAN (eth1) - 10.0.0.101) 1 NFS storage - external + local IP - I attached the storage using the Local IP (10.0.0.190) All servers are connected via a Gigabit switch (so speed should be better) I can scp between servers far faster - I'm almost sure its due to the node ovirtmgmt address being an external (internet ip) and not LAN ip. - therefore the traffic is not just going over the gigabit switch but via the core router in the DC... Can anyone suggest how I can 'debug' where the slowness is coming from On my NFS server I have it setup like (in /etc/exports) /storage1 *(rw,sync,no_subtree_check) I had previous tried setting up the node on a LAN IP previously and it caused spice to not work - as the node had no internet access / DNS - I also tried making the frontend server a gateway (and using - iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -j MASQUERADE ) - this also cause spice to not work (as it always tried to connect to the 10.0.0.x address from my desktop - and fail..) Any hints/help will be welcomed Cheers

[Users] disable ballooning mode
by Michal Kopacki 22 Mar '12

22 Mar '12

I'm trying to get virtual windows and specific software on it working. Windows is working fine but i'm getting blue screen when trying to start this particular application (which works fine in vmware). I figureout that there could be some kind of problem with memory. My question is about ballonning memory: is it on as default ? If yes, then how to disable it ? Did anyone also discovered such problemes ? -- Michal

[Users] spice issues preventing me using Ovirt (not been able to test it yet) - Is it possible to use VNC ?
by Morgan Cox 21 Mar '12

21 Mar '12

Hi For the last few weeks I have been tried to test Ovirt - but am failing due to spice not working... I have created a bugzilla ticket about my spice issues https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=805552 At the minute spice just doesn't work for me - I have tried from multiple desktops - (1 FC16 1 opensuse 12.1) - both have the same spice versions (spice-xpi, etc). All I want to do really is see Ovirt working, can I use VNC or is that a WIP? If I select VNC in Ovirt how do I connect (the spice icon is greyed out) Or (preferred) can anyone help me with spice? Regards
