[Users] Upgrade from 3.1
by Christian Kolquist 02 Oct '13

02 Oct '13

So, after many frustrating weekends of trying to upgrade ovirt from 3.1, I have come to the conclustion that it would just be best to export all of our VM's and Import them once I have redone the entire installation with FC19 and ovirt 3.3. Is there a way to export the entire domain easily? Or to bring the entire domain into a new install of the engine? Exporting a single VM takes a very long while. It would take a couple of days to export all of our VM's (33 total vm's using 1.017 TB of data) and then reimport them using the normal means of exporting the machines off then on to the export domain, load the new engine server then import them all back in. Any tips or tricks would be welcome. Christian FYI, I ran into just about every single bug that people had when upgrading from 3.1 to 3.2 and a few more. I can't spend any more time troubleshooting the upgrade process. If we can't do the export->import easily or migrate the current storage domain we will probably have to get rid of ovirt and move to another solution. -- --------------------------------------------------------------- This email, along with any attachments, is confidential.

[Users] iptables settings/scripts ovirt 3.3
by Sven Kieske 02 Oct '13

02 Oct '13

Hi, we have an test environment with ovirt 3.3 installed on various hardware nodes. The management node is installed on an centos 6.4 x64 minimal. The issue we are running into is, that some ovirt component keeps resetting the iptables firewall configuration, denying access to ports 80 and 443, which results in the web interface being not accessible. We do know that the engine-setup initially configures the firewall, but through which scripts does iptables get configured? Are there some database entries for this? If you need any logfiles for this, please let me know. Currently we have disabled iptables, as it's just an test environment. We read about some "vdsm bootstrap script" (e.g. BZ 893680), may this be related? However we didn't find out where this scripts resides. Also vvyazmin(a)redhat.com posted in this BZ: "not a bug". I don't see why you shouldn't be able to ping the hypervisor in the management lan? this is useful for monitoring and network debugging. ICMP is no danger at all. Kind regards Sven Kieske

[Users] Could not add iscsi domain to data-center
by Saurabh 01 Oct '13

01 Oct '13

Hi all, I am using ovirt 3.3 on Centos6. Things were running fine untill I had nfs as the deata storage for my data center. Now I have created a new data center of type iscsi, but I am not able to add the iscsi storage to this Datacenter. This is all what i did. 1>I created a new datacenter of type iscsi 2>configured a cluster to this datacenter 3>moved my host to this cluster. 4>Now navigated to the storage tab 5>Clicked on new domain 6>selected data/iscsi 7>discovered the iscsi iqn but when I login to that iqn the login is not successful. I am attaching you a screenshot. Thanks. saurabh.

I strongly suggest you solve upgrade issue (please communicate > with ofer on this). OK, I understand that, but for the record: 'async_tasks' was completely empty before I started Engine, so this hack wouldn't have been of any use. Cheers, Martijn.

Hello Yair, Thank you for your answers, but I still have some questions left ;-) >> I find engine.log somewhat hard to read, to be honest, and documentation >> is hard to find, but I think I found some clues. > > Hi, > I understand what you're saying about engine.log, when I asked for > it, it was because I'm one of the maintainers of ovirt engine, so I > thought I could give you a hand here, especially after reading your > email and getting a sense that I saw a similar issue in the past. If you want, I can send you my log. I wasn't sure if that's what you meant. I just had the same problem again. - Stopped oVirt engine - Checked the 'async_tasks' table. It was empty! - Started oVirt engine - Same set of imported VMs as last time deleted! I thought that lingering records from the 'async_tasks' table were to blame, but apparently, that's not the case. Can you tell me what I need to check/do/modify/update/delete before restarting oVirt that will keep my VMs from being deleted? (Please see below for a note on upgrading like you suggested) >> I think I have an idea about what happended now. >> >> The 2 disappeared VMs have been imported into oVirt using virt-v2v.

I enabled the beta channel just now, but that doesn't make a difference. 3.3.0-1 is the latest version. What am I missing? martijn@ovirt:~> sudo yum list all|grep ovirt-engine.noarch ovirt-engine.noarch 3.3.0-1.el6 @ovirt-beta Best regards, Martijn Grendelman

[Users] Could not login into the iscsi domain
by Saurabh 01 Oct '13

01 Oct '13

Hi guyz, I have setup my ovirt engine with NFS as datacenter storage, so the default datacenter has nfs storage. Now have created a test datacenter inside ovirt with Type = iscsi. When I try to add new storage domain to this datacenter, I am able to discover the Lun but could not log in. Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks Saurabh

How do you know that snapshot > creation was completed? Did you look at the events tab? (Asking to be > sure) engine.log will be quite helpful here. I find engine.log somewhat hard to read, to be honest, and documentation is hard to find, but I think I found some clues. I tried to create 4 snapshots of a certain VM, 2 of which completed normally and 2 of which failed: "Failed with VDSM error SNAPSHOT_FAILED and code 48" However, what I find most upsetting, is that the VMs that disappeared were not the subject of my experiments. I was creating snapshots of a single VM, and the VMs that disappeared were unrelated. As a matter of fact, the VM I was experimenting with IS THE ONLY ONE that survived. By the way, the Snapshots panel has been displaying snapshots correctly for a while, but when I logged in this morning, it appeared empty again, for all VMs. Is there anything I can check to see what causes this? >> Not sure what to do, I decided to restart the ovirt-engine process. >> >> When I logged back on to the administrator panel, I was shocked to >> see 2endWith of my 4 VMs completely missing from the inventory.

By the way, similar issue can probably occur with > disks as well, as there are flows that run async tasks that deal with > disks. I think I have an idea about what happended now. The 2 disappeared VMs have been imported into oVirt using virt-v2v. The 3rd one that's now missing a disk volume was not, but I have been playing with storage migration in the past. Yesterday's engine.log seems to suggest, that all of these tasks (importing the 2 VMs and trying to move a volume) have been restarted immediately after restarting Engine. After failure, the VMs and volume were removed. It seems to fit the above description of the bug. So... What can I do to prevent this from happening again? Should I periodically check the 'async_tasks' table for anomalies? Is there a bugfix I can apply, or should I wait for a new release of oVirt? If the latter, when is that expected to happen? Thanks, Martijn.

[Users] Ovirt guest agent for 3.2 el6
by noc 01 Oct '13

01 Oct '13

Is it possible to add an ovirt-guest-agent-1.0.8-el6.rpm to the ovirt 3.2 repository? I'm asking because I tried the ovirt-guest-agent installation on a VM by slightly modifying the repo file to point to the 3.3 directory and the dependencies that were used were only from epel. Regards, Joop

[Users] VMs and volumes disappearing
by Martijn Grendelman 30 Sep '13

Hi, I have recently set up an oVirt environment, I think in a pretty standard fashion, with engine 3.3 on one host, one oVirt host on a physical machine, both running CentOS 6.4, using NFS for all storage domains. Today I was playing around with snapshots, when I noticed that the Snapshots panel didn't show any of the snapshots I created, not even the 'Current - Active VM' snapshot that all VMs have. Not sure what to do, I decided to restart the ovirt-engine process. When I logged back on to the administrator panel, I was shocked to see 2 of my 4 VMs completely missing from the inventory. I haven't been able to find back a single trace of either machine, neither in the portal nor on disk. It seems like they never existed. The storage of both VMs seems to be erased from the data domain. A 3rd VM is down and refuses to start: "Exit message: Volume 337a410f-1598-4a7f-9afd-c0160c329563 is corrupted or missing." and in vdsm.log on the host: OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/rhev/data-center/5849b030-626e-47cb-ad90-3ce782d831b3/d523a48d-7a34-4bb0-9d48-2092934af816/images/e803ad34-94e5-4180-b26f-7271bfca5923/337a410f-1598-4a7f-9afd-c0160c329563' So it seems something is seriously f*cked up. Now what? Any ideas what may have caused this? And more importantly, how do I prevent something like this from happening again? Perhaps a needless addition, but I am very scared to host anything remotely important on oVirt now. Regards, Martijn.
