How does one add multiple custom properties ? tried: engine-config -s CustomDeviceProperties='{type=interface;prop={vlan=^[a-zA-Z0-9_ ---]+$}}{type=interface;prop={bridge=^[a-zA-Z0-9_ ---]+$}}' but ended up with one call vlan and the other prop :) If can add vlan and bridge then should be able to use a vNIC profile for adding an interface directly to OVS using a custom hook.

So at that point you have network running. If you then try to add that to the OVS stack your networking stop :( I tried to add it as a port using ovs-vsctl add-port ovsbr0 ovirtmgmt which is accepted but then networking stops. As soon as I remove again networking comes back to life.

You could just make a hook script that runs an after_network_setup hook that does the ovs-vsctl for you ;-) Here you can see the presentation I gave last February at devconf about extending with configurators and hooks. http://blog.antoni.me/devconf14/#/8/1 I linked directly to a before_network_setup hook sample, because it works just like the after_network_setup hook. Instead of logging to systemd, just add that if 'remove' is not in data and network == 'ovirtmgmt', it adds the network bridge to the vswitch with python's subprocess.call or subprocess.check_output. You can send it if you want me to take a look ;-) PS: It is possible to write the hooks in bash, c, perl, etc. But we only have the convenience read_json methods and such for python. If you wanted to, you could have a simple bash hook that just checked if there was an ovirtmgmt bridge and it would add it doing ovs-vsctl in the before_vdsm_start hooking point. That would have the drawback that changing the ovirtmgmt bridge with oVirt UI would leave it disconnected again. > > Thanks, Phil > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Antoni Segura Puimedon" <asegurap(a)redhat.com> > To: "Phil Daws" <uxbod(a)splatnix.net> > Cc: "Dan Kenigsberg" <danken(a)redhat.com>, users(a)ovirt.org > Sent: Monday, 27 October, 2014 9:56:38 AM > Subject: Re: [ovirt-users] oVirt 3.5 & NAT > > > > ----- Original Message ----- > > From: "Phil Daws" <uxbod(a)splatnix.net> > > To: "Antoni Segura Puimedon" <asegurap(a)redhat.com> > > Cc: "Dan Kenigsberg" <danken(a)redhat.com>, users(a)ovirt.org > > Sent: Monday, October 27, 2014 10:37:18 AM > > Subject: Re: [ovirt-users] oVirt 3.5 & NAT > > > > That is what I tried but oVirt appears to overwrite the bridge information > > on > > boot :( Thanks, Phil > > But before rebooting, does it work as you intended?

Cumulative VM network usage
by Lior Vernia 20 Nov '14

20 Nov '14

Hello, The need to monitor cumulative VM network usage has come up several times in the past; while this should be handled as part of (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1063343) in the mean time I've written a small Python script that monitors those statistics, attached here. The script polls the engine via RESTful API periodically and dumps the up-to-date total usage into a file. The output is a multi-level map/dictionary in JSON format, where: * The top level keys are VM names. * Under each VM, the next level keys are vNIC names. * Under each vNIC, there are keys for total 'rx' (received) and 'tx' (transmitted), where the values are in Bytes. The script is built to run forever. It may be stopped at any time, but while it's not running VM network usage data will "be lost". When it's re-run, it'll go back to accumulating data on top of its previous data. A few disclaimers: * I haven't tested this with any edge cases (engine service dies, etc.). * Tested this with tens of VMs, not sure it'll work fine with hundreds. * The PERIOD_TIME (polling interval) should be set so that it matches both the engine's and vdsm's polling interval (see comments inside the script), otherwise data will be either lost or counted multiple times. >From 3.4 onwards, default configuration should be fine with 15 seconds. * The precision of traffic measurement on a NIC is 0.1% of the interface's speed over each PERIOD_TIME interval. For example, on a 1Gbps vNIC, when PERIOD_TIME = 15s, data will only be measured in 15Mb (~2MB) quanta. Specifically what this means is, that in this example, any traffic smaller than 2MB over a 15-second period would be negligible and wouldn't be recorded. Knock yourselves out :)

Power Management - but no LO?
by Daniel Helgenberger 20 Nov '14

20 Nov '14

Hello, I am toying an idea involving using oVirt's PM capabilities (esp. the cluster power_saving policy) in conjuration with some consumer grate hosts for raw compute applications. Now, these hosts do not have any lights out or BMC capabilities. However, they could be started with WOL packets. Is there a way how this can be done in oVirt? Shutting down hosts with ssh and starting them with WOL? Thanks! -- Daniel Helgenberger m box bewegtbild GmbH P: +49/30/2408781-22 F: +49/30/2408781-10 ACKERSTR. 19 D-10115 BERLIN www.m-box.de www.monkeymen.tv Geschäftsführer: Martin Retschitzegger / Michaela Göllner Handeslregister: Amtsgericht Charlottenburg / HRB 112767

Gluster command[<UNKNOWN>] failed on server ovhost1
by Fumihide Tani 20 Nov '14

20 Nov '14

Please help! I'm hosting an oVirt3.5 Engine server (CentOS6.5) and oVirt3.5 Host servers (CentOS 7.0). Today, I have stopped all oVirt services (ovirt-engine and vdsmd) and updated oVirt3.5 Engine server and ovirt3.5 Host server by "yum update". While update, some new Gluster components were installed. After update, I tried to reboot ovirt3.5 Engine and Node servers, but oVirt is not working. Portal's Events shows that: - Status of host ovhost1 was set to NonOperational. - Gluster command[<UNKNOWN>] failed on server ovhost1. My oVirt servers and VMs are not operational now. How to resolve? Many thanks, Fumihide Tani

Does anybody already has a clear how-to for the AAA config? This is the error we get sometimes in our engine.log (we are still able to login with ldap btw): 2014-11-20 06:42:06,539 ERROR [org.ovirt.engine.extensions.aaa.builtin.kerberosldap.DirectorySearcher] (ajp--127.0.0.1-8702-32) Failed ldap search server ldap://***.brussels.airport:*** using user ****(a)BRUSSELS.AIRPORT due to : [LDAP: error code 34 - 0000208F: LdapErr: DSID-0C09074B, comment: Error processing name, data 0, v23f0]; nested exception is javax.naming.InvalidNameException: : [LDAP: error code 34 - 0000208F: LdapErr: DSID-0C09074B, comment: Error processing name, data 0, v23f0]; remaining name ''.

Re: [ovirt-users] separate ovirtmgmt from glusterfs traffic
by Juan Pablo Lorier 20 Nov '14

20 Nov '14

Hi, In my experience, having ovirt traffic on the same nic that gluster can make your platafrom unstable. I was using it for large file storage and gluster has so big traffic that ovirt got confused and started marking hosts as unavailable because of hi latency. I've opened an RFE over a year ago, but had no luck with the team to get it done. In the RFE I was asking to have a way in the UI to decide which nic to use for gluster other than the MGMT net that is the one ovirt lets you use. There's another way to do this and it's from outside ovirt. There you have to unregister and re register the bricks using gluster console commands. This way, when you register the bricks, you can specify the IP address of the spare NIC and then the traffic will not interfere with the mgmt. There's a step that I don't recall much, but ovirt is going to need to know that the bricks are no longer is the mgmt IP, maybe someone else in the list can help with this. I can tell you that if you search the list you'll see my posts about this and the replys of those who helped my back then. Regards,

Sizing the master storage domain
by Nicolas Ecarnot 19 Nov '14

19 Nov '14

Hi, I know Itamar explained that the notion of master storage domain will disappear in some releases. But now, with a 3.4 I'm installing, I was wondering : - on my other oVirt setups, I started with one big (iSCSI) LUN, which is the master, and stored as many VMs I could - when space came to miss, I added another LUN, the another... - when I have to do some maintenance (grow, disable, other...) on a LUN, I can move my VM disks amongst the normal storage domains. When Empty, I can switch them off, add others, and so on The only one I can not play with is the master one. I came to think that I had no benefice storing anything on the master storage domain, and use only the normal storage domains. And then, I came to think I had no reason to dedicate a huge LUN for the master. Ok, but according to you, what is the minimum reasonable size for a master storage domain? -- Nicolas Ecarnot
