Is there a way to specify which volume is used for VM imports?
by Jayme 14 Aug '18

14 Aug '18

I have multiple data volumes and when I import a VM from an NFS attached export domain the disk always gets created on on specific volume. I understand I can move the disk from one volume to another after the fact but is there a way I can specify which volume to use for the initial import?

Network requirements for ovirtmgmt
by Marcel Hanke 14 Aug '18

14 Aug '18

Hi, we currently have a big layer 2 network in our datacenters, so every node in a cluster can reach the other nodes in the datacenter on network layer 2. In the future we'd like to route directly on the switches and connect the nodes in one cluster, as well es other clusters in one datacenter via network layer 3. The question now is, do we need multicast and/or broadcast for any operation, or is the connectivity with layer 3 fine? Thanks Marcel

Connection issues when using gluster + infiniband + RDMA
by housemouse＠squeakz.net 13 Aug '18

13 Aug '18

I am trying to setup gluster using Infiniband and mounting it in RDMA mode. I have created a network hook so that it configures the interfaces as MTU=65520 and CONNECTED_MODE=yes. I have a second server doing NFS with RDMA over Infiniband with some VMs on it. When I try and transfer files to the gluster storage it is taking a while and I am seeing the message “VDSM {hostname} command GetGlusterVolumeHealInfoVDS failed: Message timeout which can be caused by communication issues” This is usually followed by “Host {hostname} is not responding. It will stay in Connecting state for a grace period of 60 seconds and after that an attempt to fence the host will be issued.” I just installed the Infiniband hardware. The switch is a Qlogic 12200-18 with QLE7340 single port Infiniband cards in each of the 3 servers. The error message varies on which of the 3 nodes it comes from. Each of the 3 servers is running the opensm service.

Passing through Quadro cards to guest
by Wesley Stewart 13 Aug '18

13 Aug '18

Has anyone experimented with this? I have had really good success with AMD cards, but consumer end graphics cards fail to load due to NVIDIA blocking them. I happened to have an NVIDIA Quadro P2000 lying around and I thought I would give it a shot. I really like these cards as they only require the 75W provided PCI power. I can pass the Quadro through just fine, however after a couple minutes of playing a video, the audio gets really "buzzy" and the video drops to about 3-5 FPS. This is while doing pretty minimal stuff. Currently testing with 720/1080 youtube videos. Card is pulling about 6-10W total. And otherwise working fine on my Windows 10 guest. I have also tried enabling/disabling MSI interrupts which the card supports without making a difference. I am running a single host setup: X10SDV-6c+ (Xeon D - 1528) running oVirt 4.2.3

Isolated POC
by Martin Schutte 13 Aug '18

13 Aug '18

Good day to all, I am in the process of setting up an oVirt proof of concept for a client. There are some strict requirements for this POC. Firstly the entire POC must be isolated from the network, which means no online repos. Secondly there is a time constraint for the completion of the deployment. All to be done on bare-metal systems. I have installed oVirt numerous times on other systems, but then I was always able to have online repos. So in short I am asking for some pointers on which repos needs to be synced offline for this to work properly. I can always go and play around to figure out which ones are needed, but I do not have the luxury of time. Any advice or tips will be appreciated. Regards, Martin.

oVirt node 4.2.x - custom multipath.conf and external storage availability
by Roberto Nunin 13 Aug '18

13 Aug '18

HI all How can I provide to my oVirt hosts a custom multipath.conf, considering that we are using shared/mirrored FC storage from HPE 3PAR with high availability of provided LUNs, using peer-persistance feature ? To configure correctly this require a custom multipath.conf is required. How I can avoid it will be overwritten during upgrades ? Second topic: Is ALUA feature supported also in oVirt nodes, like for standard RHEL 6/7 and/or CentOS 6/7 ? I was digging for a while into user's digest, but not able to find focused informations. This is the feature needed by peer-persistance, allowing two different volumes to be masked toward a given host with the same WWN and LUN number. Thanks in advance -- Roberto

ovirt engine service needs restart after network connectivity is lost and reestablished
by g.vasilopoulos＠uoc.gr 13 Aug '18

13 Aug '18

today our network administration did some upgrades on the networking equipment, so the engine vlan went down for a while. Afterwards when it came back up 3 hosts was found as non responding, I couldn't see anything suspicious on the hosts, the problem "fixed" itself when I restarted the ovirt-engine service on the engine vm. Another "strange" side effect is that gluster was in need of healing constantly afterwards it did heal and desynch again almost immediately, whitch was "fixed" by shutting down and starting the vm's who were up at the time of the network outage.. I've seen this behaviour once more regarding the engine service, is this normal behaviour (e.g. to make the admin check if everything is ok) or is there something wrong ?

cannot activate host
by Jiří Sléžka 12 Aug '18

12 Aug '18

Hi, I have one interesting issue. I was asked by colleague to repair his cluster which is part of our oVirt installation. He tried to upgrade his host to gain 4.2 compatibility level but it fails in some cases. Never mind, I checked it, repaired, installed upgrades and activate his hosts with one exception. One of hosts was stucked in finishing two tasks. One was changing network configuration, the second was activating of this host. I have to manually clear this tasks in database by SELECT * FROM job ORDER BY start_time DESC; SELECT DeleteJob('...job_id...'); SELECT DeleteJob('...job_id...'); Now this tasks are gone but still cannot activate this host. Error while executing action: blade01: Cannot activate Host. Related operation is currently in progress. Please try again later. Host is updatet (latest 4.2 repo), rebooted, looks fine... In tasks in UI are no tasks found (the same in db)... What can I do now? Cheers, Jiri
