hosted engine local disk estimate for OVA file
by Ben De Luca 25 Jun '17

25 Jun '17

Hi, I am in the middle of a disaster recovery situation trying to install ovirt 4.1 after a failure of some of our NFS systems. So I was redeploying 4.0 but there is a bug with the image uploader, that means I cant upload images. Our actually virtual machine hosts have very small HD's and the current 4.1 release installer thinks that the OVA extracted is 50GiB, I have exactly 50GB free! yay. So I did manage to hack the installer, to ignore my local disk space as the OVA is really only a few gigs in side. But its been pretty painful. Any chance of some one fixing the estimate there, I have read through the code, there was an attempt to find out the real size but they gave up and just guessed. -bd *tired sysadmin*

Dear All, Is there a reason that a perfectly well working Ovirt 4.1 Engine after a power failure, would not allow the hosts to activate because of "VDSM ConnectStorageServerVDS failed". All firewalls are down, I have reinstalled the host, upgraded everything (host and engine), deleted and reinstalled hosts, I can ssh to all from all. Any clues?? Thanks ahead of time.. -- Warm Regards, JC Clark IT Director Mount Carmel School Saipan, CNMI

Change HostedEngine Storage
by Matt . 24 Jun '17

Hi guys, When you want to move your hosted_engine storage you can copy stuff over but you still need to change the image which contains all config files. Is there some documentation about how to do so ? Thanks, Matt

Info on live snapshot and agent interaction
by Gianluca Cecchi 23 Jun '17

23 Jun '17

Hello, supposing to have a Linux VM with ovirt-guest-agent installed, during a live snapshot operation it should be freeze of filesystems. Where to find confirmation of correct/successful interaction? /var/log/messages or agent log or other kind of files? Are there any limitations on filesystems that support freeze? Is it fsfreeze the command executed at VM OS level or any other low level command? Thanks, Gianluca

Frustration defines the deployment of Hosted Engine
by Vinícius Ferrão 23 Jun '17

23 Jun '17

Hello oVirt folks. I’m a traitor of the Xen movement and was looking for some good alternatives for XenServer hypervisors. I was aware of KVM for a long time but I was missing a more professional and appliance feeling of the product, and oVirt appears to deliver exactly what I’m looking for. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying that Xen is not good, I’m looking for equal or better alternatives, but I’m starting to get frustrated with oVirt. Firstly I’ve tried to install the oVirt Node on a VM in VMware Fusion on my notebook, it was a no go. For whatever reasons I don’t know vdsmd.service and libvirtd failed to start. I make sure that I was running with EPT support enabled to achieve nested virtualization, but as I said: it was a no go. So I’ve decommissioned a XenServer machine that was in production just to try oVirt. The hardware is not new, but’s it’s very capable: Dual Xeon E5506 with 48GB of system RAM, but I can’t get the hosted engine to work, it always insults my hardware: --- Hosted Engine deployment failed: this system is not reliable, please check the issue,fix and redeploy. It’s definitely a problem on the storage subsystem, the error is just random, at this moment I’ve got: [ ERROR ] Failed to execute stage 'Misc configuration': [-32605] No response for JSON-RPC StorageDomain.detach request. But on other tries it came up with something like this: No response for JSON-RPC Volume.getSize request. I was thinking that the problem was on the NFSv3 server on our FreeNAS box, so I’ve changed to an iSCSI backend, but the problem continues. This happens at the very end of the ovirt-hosted-engine-setup command, which leads me to believe that’s an oVirt issue. The OVA was already copied and deployed to the storage: [ INFO ] Starting vdsmd [ INFO ] Creating Volume Group [ INFO ] Creating Storage Domain [ INFO ] Creating Storage Pool [ INFO ] Connecting Storage Pool [ INFO ] Verifying sanlock lockspace initialization [ INFO ] Creating Image for 'hosted-engine.lockspace' ...

And the log file is too verborragic (hoping this word exists) to look for errors. Any guidance? Thanks, V.
