oVirt 4.3.8 and almost unpredictable export as ova duration
by Gianluca Cecchi 27 Feb '20

27 Feb '20

Hello, on a test oVirt environment I have export as ova task that, based on same disk size (20Gb) it could last 35 seconds or 11 minutes.... During the long lasting test I see on host that almost all and only I/O (in the measure of 6-7 MB/s) is done by a [loop0] process that has ppid 2 and apparently (with "fuser" command on /dev/loop0 file) is uses by noone. Is it implicitly used by the "qemu-img convert " command of the export as ova? Why so great difference in elapsed time? The disk is the same of the same VM. The oVirt env has almost nothing running only 2 CentOS 8.1 VMs doing nothing. Same host used for export as ova in the two runs in a 20 minutes timeframe. As the path for OVA I'm temporarily using a connected export domain subdirectory, using directory='/rhev/data-center/mnt/10.4.192.69:_export_ovirt/dump' Donna if it can have a role in the problem... Thanks, Gianluca

Re: Huge increase of CPU load on hosted engine VM after upgrade to 4.3.8 and cluster compatibility version
by Florian Schmid 27 Feb '20

27 Feb '20

Hi, no, fortunately, the bug didn't came back. It looks like, that the engine needs its time to settle after changing the cluster compatibility version. After about 2 hours, the CPU load was as low as before. The time to load the VM UI takes a little bit more time, but I think this is also normal, because all VMs still have the orange triangle and need a reboot. Sorry for the false positive, but I was really afraid about the high load.

Hi, I have upgraded yesterday one of our ovirt environments from 4.2.8 to 4.3.8. We have a hosted engine, 25 hosts and about 150 VMs running there. After upgrading the cluster compatibility version from 4.2 to 4.3, I have seen a huge increase of CPU load on the engine VM. The engine had 4 cores (16GB mem) and never had load issues, but after the upgrade, the system has a load of 6 and more. I have increased the CPUs to 8, because working in the UI was impossible. I have noticed, that the load always increase, when I load the VM UI tab, where now all VMs have the orange triangle with pending changes: Custom compatibility version The problem I have, is, that I can't reboot now all VMs, maybe in the next 3 or 4 weeks. Working now with the UI is quite problematic, because of the slowness. The engine VM was already rebooted, but didn't solve the problem. What logs do you need and is there a workaround available? I have some more oVirt environments to upgrade, all with even more VMs. BR Florian _______________________________________________ Users mailing list -- users(a)ovirt.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave(a)ovirt.org Privacy Statement: [ https://eur02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ovirt… | https://eur02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ovirt… ] oVirt Code of Conduct: [ https://eur02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ovirt… | https://eur02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ovirt… ] List Archives: [ https://eur02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flists.ovi… | https://eur02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flists.ovi… ] To view the terms under which this email is distributed, please go to:- [ http://leedsbeckett.ac.uk/disclaimer/email/ | http://leedsbeckett.ac.uk/disclaimer/email/ ]

oVirt Storage quota questions
by Vrgotic, Marko 27 Feb '20

27 Feb '20

Dear oVirt, My platform is running SHE oVirt version 4.3.8. Why is my StorageQuota consumption still showing “ 0 out of 3700” ? Did I forget something? [A screenshot of a cell phone Description automatically generated] I have setup storage quota “StorageQuota” for one of domains. It has 4400GB actual storage. * Quota is set to 3700GB. * Treshold for Quota is 85% and Grace is set to 110%. * Datacenter Quota is set to Enforced * The template image has been changed from Default to StorageQuota * I see that Vms created from Template are automatically assigned StorageQuota To present the following situation in screenshots: * Actual Quota: [A screenshot of a social media post Description automatically generated] * VMs (more than on the screenshot) which have the StorageQuota assigned: [A screenshot of a social media post Description automatically generated] * Templates which have the StorageQuota assigned [cid:image004.png@01D5ED57.6C02ACF0] Kindly awaiting your reply. Additionally – is there an easy&safe way to update all running VMs quota? ----- kind regards/met vriendelijke groeten Marko Vrgotic Sr. System Engineer @ System Administration ActiveVideo o: +31 (35) 6774131 e: m.vrgotic(a)activevideo.com<mailto:m.vrgotic@activevideo.com> w: www.activevideo.com<http://www.activevideo.com> ActiveVideo Networks BV.

Storage performance comparison (gluster vs FC)
by Rik Theys 26 Feb '20

26 Feb '20

Hi, We currently use oVirt on two hosts that connect to a shared storage using SAS. In oVirt this is a "FC" storage domain. Since the warrantly on the storage box is ending, we are looking at alternatives. One of the options would be to use gluster and use a "hyperconverged" setup where compute and gluster are on the same hosts. We would probably end up with 3 hosts and a "replica 3 arbiter 1" gluster volume. (Or is another volume type more recommended for this type of setup?) I was wondering what the expected performance would be of this type of setup compared to a shared storage over FC. I expect the I/O latency of gluster to be much higher than the latency for the SAS connected storage box? Has anybody compared these storage setups?

oVirt 4.3.8 spice console not working after vm migration
by Gianluca Cecchi 26 Feb '20

26 Feb '20

Hello, I'm registering problems with spice console session that remains stuck and not working after vm migration. Tried with 7.6 and 8.1 based virtual machines. The client is an updated Fedora 31 system. Using lsof -Pp pid command I don't see any tcp sessione opened Making the same when session is connected before migration: remote-vi 8013 g.cecchi 21u IPv4 243582 0t0 TCP localhost.localdomain:35218->10.4.192.32:5902 (ESTABLISHED) remote-vi 8013 g.cecchi 22u IPv4 248960 0t0 TCP localhost.localdomain:35226->10.4.192.32:5902 (ESTABLISHED) remote-vi 8013 g.cecchi 23u IPv4 248961 0t0 TCP localhost.localdomain:35228->10.4.192.32:5902 (ESTABLISHED) remote-vi 8013 g.cecchi 24u IPv4 248962 0t0 TCP localhost.localdomain:35230->10.4.192.32:5902 (ESTABLISHED) Right after migration I see only the close wait of the previous but not a new one with the ip of the destination host: remote-vi 8013 g.cecchi 21u IPv4 243582 0t0 TCP localhost.localdomain:35218->10.4.192.32:5902 (CLOSE_WAIT) And after a few seconds none. Also, closing the blocked spice window doesn't work: it becomes gray with in the middle "Waiting for display 1..." and I have to "kill -9 the remote-viewer process. Strangely the reverse works. After force closing spice console and connecting to the remote and making migrate reverse, the spice console session keeps working... The hosts have same versions of components: OS Version: RHEL - 7 - 7.1908.0.el7.centos OS Description: CentOS Linux 7 (Core) Kernel Version: 3.10.0 - 1062.12.1.el7.x86_64 KVM Version: 2.12.0 - 33.1.el7_7.4 LIBVIRT Version: libvirt-4.5.0-23.el7_7.5 VDSM Version: vdsm-4.30.40-1.el7 SPICE Version: 0.14.0 - 7.el7 GlusterFS Version: [N/A] CEPH Version: librbd1-10.2.5-4.el7 Open vSwitch Version: openvswitch-2.11.0-4.el7 Kernel Features: PTI: 1, IBRS: 0, RETP: 1, SSBD: 3 VNC Encryption: Disabled What else can I check?

Re: Damaged hard disk in volume replica gluster
by Strahil 25 Feb '20

25 Feb '20

As you are replacing an old brick, you have to recreate the old LV and mount it on the same location. Then you can use the gluster's "reset-brick" (i thing ovirt UI has that option too) and all data will be replicated there. You got also the "replace-brick" option if you decided to change the mount location. P.S.: with replica volumes your volume should be still working, in case it has stopped - you have to investigate before proceeding.
