Update to 4.2.5, Cant start VMs
by Vincent Royer 07 Aug '18

07 Aug '18

I updated the engine, and one of my nodes to 4.2.5. I'm attempting to re-start the VMs that were pinned to it, and migrate another VM to it so that I can update my other node. When I try to start the VMs that were pinned to the host, I get: VM Tuning3 is down with error. Exit message: XML error: Multiple 'scsi' > controllers with index '0'. To fix this I tried to detach the disk and re-attach it, no luck. When I try to migrate a running VM to this host, I get: Host Letty has network interface which exceeded the defined threshold [95%] > (bond0: transmit rate[0%], receive rate [97%]) The host I'm migrating FROM gets a similar error, and the VM does not migrate. I tried the different migration policies without any luck. I did successfully migrate the Hosted Engine to the new host, no errors. Thanks for any advice! Vincent

better understand ovirt-engine functions
by stuartk＠alleninstitute.org 07 Aug '18

07 Aug '18

I've been reading through documentation https://www.ovirt.org/documentation/architecture/architecture/ https://www.ovirt.org/documentation/self-hosted/Self-Hosted_Engine_Guide/ But am struggling still to understand the role ovirt-engine plays. Would anyone have recommends for additional reads? The problem I'm tackling currently looks like this: - We have (2) oVirt Data Centers, each populated by a single Cluster. The Data Centers are physically & network-wise 'distant' from one another - hosted-engine runs on (3) of the (4) Hosts in Data Center A / Cluster A. hosted-engine does not run on Data Center B / Cluster B - When we disrupt network connectivity around Cluster A (yes, that's Cluster *A*), Hosts in Cluster B crash (requiring a power cycle) and Guests in Cluster B get stopped and paused I'm struggling to understand why mussing with Cluster A affects Cluster B. From pcaps, I can see plenty of TLS traffic from Cluster A's Hosts -- presumably from ovirt-engine running on Cluster A -- exchanged with Cluster B. So, during my last maintenance window, I put hosted-engine into maintenance mode ... but Hosts/VMs in Cluster B were still affected. Where do I go to better understand what ovirt-engine does when it is 'managing' Hosts & VMs? --sk

Datacenter of several Hosts with Local Storage ? (share Logical Network)
by jeanbaptiste＠nfrance.com 07 Aug '18

07 Aug '18

Hello, My question is pretty simple :) Is there a way to configure Local(s) Storage Datacenter with more than 1 host ? The goal is is to share some Datacenter simple parameters between several hosts (with Local storage) like Logical Networks ? If it is not possible what is the best way / workaound to do this ? To compare, on Xenserver, it is possible to configure a "Pool" of some hosts which have Local Storage, but which share same Logical network configuration.. (I do not say XS is better^^, far from it !) Thanks for all :) Jean-Baptiste

MoM - Not working ? How to use it ?

Hello, I'm trying to test Memory balloon useful functionality, but l'm unable to make it work successfuly. Firstly, I enable the MOM on my Cluster: Memory Balloon Enable Memory Balloon Optimization Secondly, I configure a VM virtual machine like this: On system tab: Memory Size : 28672 MB Maximum memory : 28672 MB On Ressource allocation tab: Memory Allocation: Physical Memory Guaranteed : 2048 MB Memory Balloon Device: Enabled Thirdly, I test 1- I boot the VM. After boot VM consume 200MB 2- I lauch perl program which consume 26GB. 3- During this, Host RAM usage is near 90% 4- I stop the perl program, and on guest side, RAM usage drop down to 200Mo 5- On host side, RAM usage keep to 24 - 26GB. I wait some time to show if the qemu-vm process drop is host-ram-usage. Ram usage keep to 24GB. 6- I try to launch another VM like the first one (but with 8GB RAM and 2GB Guaranteed) , on the host (to "force" Mom ?) but I'm unable to lauch it, Host free mem is insufficient I change MoM log to debug to show something: 2018-07-31 11:49:31,887 - mom.RPCServer - INFO - ping() 2018-07-31 11:49:31,888 - mom.RPCServer - INFO - getStatistics() 2018-07-31 11:49:31,888 - mom.Monitor - DEBUG - Field 'mem_free' not known.

Tuning and testing GlusterFS performance
by Jayme 07 Aug '18

07 Aug '18

So I've finally completed my first HCI build using the below configuration: 3x Dell PowerEdge R720 2x 2.9 GHz 8 Core E5-2690 256GB RAM 2x250gb SSD Raid 1 (boot/os) 2x2TB SSD jbod passthrough (used for gluster bricks) 1Gbe Nic for management 10Gbe nic for Gluster Using Replica 3 with no arbiter. Installed the latest version of oVirt available at the time 4.2.5. Created recommended volumes (with an additional data volume on second SSD). Not using VDO First thing I did was setup glusterFS network on 10Gbe and set it to be used for glusterFS and migration traffic. I've setup a single test VM using Centos7 minimal on the default "x-large instance" profile. Within this VM if I do very basic write test using something like: dd bs=1M count=256 if=/dev/zero of=test conv=fdatasync I'm seeing quite slow speeds, only 8mb/sec. If I do the same from one of the hosts gluster mounts i.e. host1: /rhev/data-center/mnt/glusterSD/HOST:data I get about 30mb/sec (which still seems fairly low?) Am I testing incorrectly here? Is there anything I should be tuning on the Gluster volumes to increase performance with SSDs? Where can I find out where the bottle neck is here, or is this expected performance of Gluster?

Hello, when i tried to attach a snapshot disk into my backupvm. oVirt doesn't want to attach it. In the engine.log I can see this. 2018-08-04 19:20:04,472-10 ERROR [org.ovirt.engine.core.bll.storage.disk.AttachDiskToVmCommand] (default task-33) [646ad7a1-4501-4648-a937-bbee0abaec46] Command 'org.ovirt.engine.core.bll.storage.disk.AttachDiskToVmCommand' failed: CallableStatementCallback; SQL [{call insertdiskvmelement(?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?)}]; ERROR: duplicate key value violates unique constraint "pk_disk_vm_element" Detail: Key (vm_id, disk_id)=(78ef239f-3cb3-4eef-921f-f989724009ef, c7cef731-e31d-4597-80f1-1f2393cd66ea) already exists.

When i SQL the database, the entries is present (and many other). But in the webinterface, I can't see them on the backupVM.

Is there any function to update / refresh this table ? I dont want to delete entries by sql as i don't know the consequences, is it safe to delete entries ? Thank you for your help

Dear Sir I have successfully installed the ovirt engine and ovirt node separately on two machines and I have accessed their web portals as well . But I am facing a problem in its initial configuration that I am unable to add a host and its installation fails . I am using default data center and default cluster . Could you please guide what can be the issue , credentials are correct . I have tried to add both the ovirt engine and ovirt node as a host but failed.
