Hello, In Administration Portal and VM Portal the all VMs reports 0% network usage. Even the Hosted Ovirt Engine. It is following the screenshost https://pasteboard.co/IE6gvCg.png https://pasteboard.co/IE6hyuUV.png The other metrics are OK, only network that re reporting 0 My env. https://pasteboard.co/IE6i8AO.png Regards Carlos

Re: oVirt and Netapp question

Second attempt 😊 From: "Vrgotic, Marko" <M.Vrgotic(a)activevideo.com> Date: Monday, 4 November 2019 at 14:01 To: "users(a)ovirt.org" <users(a)ovirt.org> Subject: oVirt and Netapp question Dear oVirt, Few months ago our production environment oVirt with main Shared storage via NFS Netapp is live. We have been deploying VMs with thin provisioned HDD 40GB based template, CentOS 7. The Netapp NFS v4 storage volume is 7TB in size, also Thin Provisioned. First attached screenshot shows the space allocation of the production volume from Netapp side. Is there anyone in oVirt community who would be able to tell me the meaning of the 5.31 TB Over Provisioned Space? [A screenshot of a cell phone Description automatically generated] Second attached is the info of the production volume from oVirt side: [A screenshot of a social media post Description automatically generated] What I want to understand is the way how is oVirt reading the volume usage and Netapp and where is the difference. Is the Over Allocated Space something that is just logically used/reserved and will be intelligently re-allocated/re-used as the actual Data Space Used grows or am I looking at oVIrt actually hitting Critical Space Action Blocker and will have to resize the volume? If there is anyone from Netapp or with good Netapp experience that is able to help understanding the data above better, thank you in advance? Kindly awaiting your reply. ----- kind regards/met vrindelijke groet Marko Vrgotic ActiveVideo

Users and VM permissions matrix
by Colin Coe 07 Nov '19

07 Nov '19

Hi all I've been tasked with creating a matrix of users/groups and VMs so we can easily see who has access to what (via SPCIE console). Google has given me a couple of hints but I can get it over the line. --- users_service = connection.system_service().users_service() users = users_service.list() for user in users: username = user.user_name.split('@')[0] # Follow the link to the permissions of the user: perms = connection.follow_link(user.permissions) for perm in perms: if perm.vm: print(username) permissions_service = connection.system_service().permissions_service() print(perm.vm.id) --- The problem is with permissions, the output from above is: --- user1 1b645daf-de26-4f33-9e3b-6a12eadd4618 user2 9c79e763-f78d-4bf9-b8ca-20fe197fd80c user3 f9d00b30-8003-41c3-95a1-10e0c452fa63 user4 1bbadf96-ef95-4ece-b5f3-1fa112aa3571 user5 e9085627-324e-48d3-bc04-52ff7798ddd0 --- I can't work out how to get the actual permissions rather that the ID. Any ideas? Thanks

Quick generic Questions
by Christian Reiss 07 Nov '19

07 Nov '19

Hey folks, I am looking at setting up a hyperconverged cluster with 3 nodes (and oVirt 4.3). Before setting up I have some generic questions that I would love to get hints or even an answer on. First off, the Servers are outfittet with 24 (SSD) drives each in a HW-RAID. Due to wear-leveling and speed I am looking at RAID10. So I would end up with one giant sda device. a) Partitioning Using oVirt node installer which will use the full size of /dev/sda is this still the right solution to Hyperconverged given the gluster issue? If I understood it correctly gluster is using empty drives or partitions so a fully utilized drive is of no use here. Does oVirt node installer have a hyperconverged/ gluster mode? b) Storage Location In this 3 node cluster, creating a VM on node01 will the data for node01 always end up in the local node01 server? c) Starting VMs Can a VM be migrated or launched from node03 if the data resides on node01 and node02 (copies 2 with arbiter). d) Efficiency / High IO Load If node01 has high IO Load would additional data be loaded from the other node which has the copy to even the load? I am aware Virtuozzo does this. e) Storage Network dies What would happen with node01, node02 and node03 are operational but only the storage network dies (frontend is still alive as are the nodes). f) external isci/ FreeNAS We have a FreeNAS system with tons of space and fast network connectivity. Can oVirt handle storage import like remote iscsi target and run VMs on the ovirt nodes but store data there? Thank you for your time to clear this up. I have found many approaches out there that either are old (oVirt 3) or even contradict themselves (talk about RAID level...)

Nope , all data is replicated on all 3 nodes (or on 2 nodes when using 'replica 2 arbiter1' volumes). > c) Starting VMs > Can a VM be migrated or launched from node03 if the data resides on > node01 and node02 (copies 2 with arbiter). As gluster is a shared storage, the VMs can migrate on any host that has access to the storage (in your case any of the 3 nodes). > d) Efficiency / High IO Load > If node01 has high IO Load would additional data be loaded from the > other node which has the copy to even the load?

Re: DHCP Client in Guest VM does not work on ovirtmgmt

All my VMs are using DHCP over ovirtmgmt network. So, yes it should be possible. Are yoiu sure that your hosts' network is in sync ?

CPU Pinning topology
by Fabrice Bacchella 07 Nov '19

07 Nov '19

I'm trying to understand the field "CPU Pinning topology" in the "Ressource Allocation" tab, that looks it needed by High Performance VM. I have this hardware: # lscpu Architecture: x86_64 CPU(s): 48 On-line CPU(s) list: 0-47 Thread(s) per core: 2 Core(s) per socket: 12 Socket(s): 2 NUMA node(s): 2 And I want to run a 22 vCPU vm on it, so no SMT, and 11 vCPU mapped to each socket. The only explanation I found about this field content was here: https://rhv.bradmin.org/ovirt-engine/docs/Virtual_Machine_Management_Guide/… and I can wrap my head around it. Do I need to given explicit mapping for all the 22 vCPU ? And dig in lscpu -e or numactl -H to find how each pCPU is identified ?

Can ovirt-node support multiple network cards ？
by wangyu13476969128＠126.com 07 Nov '19

Can ovirt-node support multiple network cards ？ I download ovirt-node-ng-installer-4.3.5-2019073010.el7.iso from ovirt site. And install on a Dell R730 Server. The version of ovirt-engine is 4.3.5.5. I found that the logic network ovirtmgmt can only point to one network card interface. Can ovirt-node support multiple network cards ？ If yes , please tell me the method.
