hosted-engine deploy Restore from backup failure
by Callum Smith 12 Jan '19

12 Jan '19

Restoring from backup appears to work perfectly, until it decides it hasn't worked and throws out. I can't see any relevant error here, does anyone have any insight?

Ovirt VDI Solution network issue
by mdcarr＠meditech.com 11 Jan '19

11 Jan '19

Hello, first time poster looking for help on setting up the network for a VDI deployment. A little background, I have Ovirt engine running on a Vmware virtual machine and have added a physical host to serve up virtual machines running windows 7 to our developers. The host has a static IP address and when I create a virtual machine I can see the default network is attached and up but does not receive an IP address. It does have a MAC so I'm wondering if I need to have our network team assign an IP for that MAC? I will be creating around 20 vm's that would get wiped after use so assigning static ip's might cause issues. Am I missing something or is there a better way to setup the LAN for this host? Thanks for any help!

Hypervisor host CPU utilization metrics
by Sigbjorn Lie-Soland 11 Jan '19

11 Jan '19

Hi, Linux see twice the amount of CPUs for a host with SMT/hyperthreading enabled. Inspecting the individual cores presented to the operating system using mpstat shows that the guests are running primarily on the “physical cores”, which is expected as the system is SMT aware. The “hyperthreaded cores” are showing guest activity when the host cpu is heavily loaded. Using the traditional tools such as top and vmstat does not take hyperthreading into consideration when calculating the total cpu% usage, again, as expected. How is the hypervisor host CPU utilization metrics in Ovirt calculated when a hypervisor host has SMT/hyperthreading enabled? Does Ovirt calculate in the same manner as the traditional vmstat/top/etc Linux tools, or does it only count CPU usage on the “physical cores” on the hypervisor? Does it read CPU metrics from the Intel PCM (https://github.com/opcm/pcm <https://github.com/opcm/pcm>) ? Does the “Count Threads as Cores” setting affect how the host hypervisor CPU utilization metrics are calculated? The reason for asking is when using tools for capacity and utilization reporting to attempt to establish cluster growth and to anticipate when and how much hypervisor capacity to add, we need the input utilization data to be a correct representation of what is happening at the hypervisor host. Thanks. Regards, Siggi

quota_name field length missmatch in db schema
by Pavel Šipoš 11 Jan '19

11 Jan '19

Hi! We have a problem with Quotas whose name has a length grater than 60 characters. Such quotas can be created (or renamed) through oVirt-shell but cannot be managed through the oVirt Engine interface. E.g. VMs in that quota can't be started, created, quota comment can't be added... It turns out that the problem is with the engine database definition of "audit_log" table, that declares "quota_name" column as "character varying(60)". However "quota.quota_name" is defined as "character varying(65)". I think this is a bug and should be fixed in the future. Error example: PL/pgSQL function insertauditlog(integer,timestamp with time zone,integer,character varying,integer,text,uuid,character varying,uuid,character varying,uuid,character varying,uuid,character varying,uuid,character varying,uuid,character varying,uuid,character varying,uuid,character varying,character varying,uuid,uuid,character varying,text,boolean,uuid,text) line 9 at SQL statement; nested exception is org.postgresql.util.PSQLException: ERROR: value too long for type character varying(60) Regards, Pavel

File level restore of a VM backup located in export domain in Overt
by kevin.doyle＠manchester.ac.uk 10 Jan '19

10 Jan '19

Hi I would like to create backups of VM's using cron. I have installed and ran https://github.com/wefixit-AT/oVirtBackup This works well and saves an image to the export domain I created. I can also carry out a full restore from this by importing from the export domain and selecting the backup. The question I have is how to do a single file recovery from the backup image. I would like to restore /etc/hosts just as an example. What command would I use ? I am not sure of the layout of the export domain directory ── dom_md │ ├── ids │ ├── inbox │ ├── leases │ ├── metadata │ └── outbox ├── images │ └── 622eb98e-f10b-4e96-bec5-8f0a7e7745fe │ ├── b47ce8e1-f552-47f8-af56-33a3b8ce7aed │ └── b47ce8e1-f552-47f8-af56-33a3b8ce7aed.meta └── master ├── tasks └── vms └── c6e6c49c-c9bc-4683-8b19-d18250b5697b └── c6e6c49c-c9bc-4683-8b19-d18250b5697b.ovf The largest file is found is in images folder so I assume this is the backup image ? ./images/622eb98e-f10b-4e96-bec5-8f0a7e7745fe: total 2.7G drwxr-xr-x. 2 vdsm kvm 99 Jan 10 11:48 . drwxr-xr-x. 3 vdsm kvm 50 Jan 10 11:48 .. -rw-rw----. 1 vdsm kvm 50G Jan 10 11:51 b47ce8e1-f552-47f8-af56-33a3b8ce7aed -rw-r--r--. 1 vdsm kvm 269 Jan 10 11:48 b47ce8e1-f552-47f8-af56-33a3b8ce7aed.meta # file b47ce8e1-f552-47f8-af56-33a3b8ce7aed b47ce8e1-f552-47f8-af56-33a3b8ce7aed: x86 boot sector; partition 1: ID=0x83, active, starthead 32, startsector 2048, 2097152 sectors; partition 2: ID=0x8e, starthead 170, startsector 2099200, 102758400 sectors, code offset 0x63 Any help would be appreciated, I am new to Ovirt regards Kevin

VMs Hung On Booting From Hard Disk
by Douglas Duckworth 09 Jan '19

09 Jan '19

Hi I have deployed 10 VMs in our oVirt cluster using Ansible. Thanks everyone for helping get it working. However, I randomly run into issues where the OS won't load after completing kickstart installation. As you can see the disks are attached while we are booting to it however I keep getting a hang at "booting from hard disk." The kickstart, kernel, and everything else for this VM, matches others. I am unsure why this problem occurs. I have attached repeating vdsm errors from the host which has the VM.

oVirt upgrade 4.1 to 4.2
by p.staniforth＠leedsbeckett.ac.uk 09 Jan '19

09 Jan '19

Hello when we did a live upgrade of our VDC from 4.1 to 4.2 we had a large number of VMs running that had a Custom Compatibility Version set to 4.1 to allow them to keep running while the cluster and VDC were upgraded. Unfortunately there was a large number of snapshots taken be the users before they were restarted their VMs so they have the Custom_Compatibility_Version set to 4.1 and so can't run in the 4.2 VDC, is there a way to search for them in the API or SDK because I can only find them in the events log when they fail to start. Thanks, Paul S.

[Cannot edit VM. Maximum number of sockets exceeded.]

Hi, when a user is managing a "higher number" (couldn't find the exact number yet, roughly >10) of VMs in VM Portal and wants to edit a VM he gets a "[Cannot edit VM. Maximum number of sockets exceeded.]" error message in the browser, which I also see in engine.log. I couldn't find the reason for this. I'm using squid as a SPICE Proxy at cluster level. oVirt version is 4.2.7, can anybody help me? thx matthias

ISCSI Domain & LVM
by tehnic＠take3.ro 09 Jan '19

09 Jan '19

Hello all, i have a question regarding this note in ovirt storage documentation: **Important:** If you are using block storage and you intend to deploy virtual machines on raw devices or direct LUNs and to manage them with the Logical Volume Manager, you must create a filter to hide the guest logical volumes. This will prevent guest logical volumes from being activated when the host is booted, a situation that could lead to stale logical volumes and cause data corruption. What does "you must create a filter to hide the guest logical volumes" exactly mean? I assume i have to set some filter in lvm.conf on all ovirt hosts, but im not sure about what to filter? What i already saw is that after creating the ISCSI domain and cloning/moving/creating virtual machines on it there are new PVs and LVs visible on the ovirt hosts having an object UUID in the name (output from "pvs" and "lvs" commands). Is this expected behavior or do i have to filter exactly this ones by allowing only local disks to be scanned for PVs/LVs? Or do i have to setup filter to allow only local disks + ISCSI disks (in my case /dev/sd?) to be scanned for PVs/LVs? I noticed too that after detaching and removing the ISCSI domain i still have UUID PVs. They all show up with "input/output error" in the output of "pvs" and stay there until i reboot the ovirt hosts. On my ISCSI target system i already set the correct lvm filters so that "targetcli" is happy after reboot. Thank you! Happy new year, Robert

Shutdown VMs when Nobreak is on Battery
by Vinícius Ferrão 08 Jan '19

Hello, I would like to know if oVirt support VMs shutdown when a battery threshold on the nobreak device is reached. There are some fencing agents for APC devices, so I’m hoping this is supported. If not, how are you guys doing this kind of thing? A separate device or VM in the datacenter to issue the shutdown commands? Thanks,

oVirt Storage questions
by michael＠wanderingmad.com 08 Jan '19

08 Jan '19

From previous thread about gluster issues, things seem to be running much better than before, and it has raised a few questions that I can't seem to find any answers to: Setup: 3 hyperconverged nodes each node has 1x 1tb SSD and 1x 500gb nVME drive each node is connected via ethernet and also by a 40gb infiniband connection for the gluster replication. Questions: 1. I created a 3tb VDO drive on the SSD and a 1.3tb VDO Drive on the nVME drive with a 1Gb cache on each server and I enabled the RDMA transport. a. Did I lose anything by doing the whole process manually? Since I did it like that, things seem to run MUCH better so far, rebooting nodes the gluster resyncs almost instantly and storage seems faster also. b. Is there a way to split out the gluster traffic from the normal ovirt traffic (VM and cluster communication)? originally I had separate names for each node for the gluster network and it WAS split, but if I ever reset a gluster node, the name got changed. What I did now is just put in a hosts file on each node that sends all traffic over the infiniband, but I don't feel like that's optimal. I was unable to add in the separate gluster names in the configuration as they were not part of the existing cluster. c. Why does the hyper-connverged wizard not let you adjust the VDO cache size, the transport type, or use VDO to "over-subscribe" the drive sizes like I did manually? 2. I wanted to add more space in the near future, would it be better to create a RAID0 with the new drives, or just use them as another separate storage location?

1. Created a lv on a VDO device, mounted on /gluster_bricks/brick 2. Created a new gluster brick on /gluster_bricks/brick/brick 3. Unable to add them new a new storage domain or import it. get a bunch of "finished disconnecting storage..." errors and nothing happens I've lost 30+ VMs due to previous issues with gluster deployment wizard, so I created drives manually to match settings from wizard, totally screwed now.

move 'ovirtmgmt' bridge to a bonded NIC team
by Shawn Southern 08 Jan '19

08 Jan '19

We've recently added additional NICs to our oVirt nodes, and want to move the ovirtmgmt interface to one of the bonded interfaces, away from the single ethernet port currently used. This is to provide redundant connectivity to the nodes. I've not had any luck finding documentation on how to do this. If we change it manually by editing files in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts, VDSM simply changes everything back. I'm just looking to be pointed in the right direction here. Thanks!

Hello, I was hoping to remove SSL 3 from 16514/tcp. I’m running Ovirt 4.2.0.2-1el7.centos and that port accepts both TSL 1.2 and SSL 3. Would editing libvirtd.conf and restarting libvirt on the hosts be the best way?
