Domain name in use? After failed domain setup?
by Schorschi . 07 Aug '17

Domain name in use? After failed domain setup? I attempted to create a new domain, but I did not realize the master domain was 100% initialized. The new domain creation failed. But it appears the new domain 'name' was used. Now I cannot create the new domain as expected. I get UI error that states, "" which can only be true if the domain name is in the database, because it is definitely no visible in the UI. This is quite frustrated, because it appears the new domain 'creation' logic is broken, if the new domain fails to be created, the database should not have junk domain name, right? I call this an ugly bug. That said, I really need to remove this junk domain name so I can use the correct name as expected. Thanks.

Problemas with ovirtmgmt network used to connect VMs
by FERNANDO FREDIANI 07 Aug '17

07 Aug '17

Has anyone had problem when using the ovirtmgmt bridge to connect VMs ? I am still facing a bizarre problem where some VMs connected to this bridge stop passing traffic. Checking the problem further I see its mac address stops being learned by the bridge and the problem is resolved only with a VM reboot. When I last saw the problem I run brctl showmacs ovirtmgmt and it shows me the VM's mac adress with agening timer 200.19. After the VM reboot I see the same mac with agening timer 0.00. I don't see it in another environment where the ovirtmgmt is not used for VMs. Does anyone have any clue about this type of behavior ? Fernando

Hi all, I have this problem: I'm tring to install the guest tools following this guide: https://www.ovirt.org/documentation/how-to/guest-agent/install-the-guest-ag… This is the sources: deb http://it.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ xenial main restricted deb http://it.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ xenial-updates main restricted deb http://it.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ xenial universe deb http://it.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ xenial-updates universe deb http://it.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ xenial multiverse deb http://it.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ xenial-updates multiverse deb http://it.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ xenial-backports main restricted universe multiverse deb http://archive.zentyal.org/zentyal 5.0 main extra deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial-security main restricted deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial-security universe deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu xenial-security multiverse But when I try to install, I have this error: root@vmdczen01:~# apt-get install ovirt-guest-agent Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming. The following information may help to resolve the situation: The following packages have unmet dependencies: ovirt-guest-agent : Depends: python-apt but it is not going to be installed E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

Software RAID on oVirt Node
by Vinícius Ferrão 07 Aug '17

07 Aug '17

Hello, On typical deployment scenarios of oVirt which is the recommended RAID technologies for oVirt Node installation? Should I use controller based RAID or mdadm can be used instead? Is this recommended? I’m asking this because other vendors requires hardware RAID, even those 100% based on CentOS, like XenServer. There’s not even a way to install it with mdadm (Software Raid). Thanks, V.

In this case I could setup 3 subnets, one for each link, avoiding in thi= s way to implement bridging (and Spanning Tree) on the servers. My idea is = that when I build the server I should use the IP addresses of the 40Gb NICs= to setup Gluster and everything should to be ok. Anyway, I will test it on= a virtual environment before installing.

If your ovirtmgmt network is separate from other (should really be) that should be fine to do.
