Clarifications regarding ovirt-provider-ovn network
by Anurag Porripireddi 17 Aug '18

17 Aug '18

Hi, I had some questions a overt-provider-ovn based external network which is built on top of an physical network. I notice that VLAN tagging gets greyed out when I try to create an external provider network. Is it not supported by overt right now?I am on version 4.2.5.3. Also, if I create NICs with the external provider network built atop a physical network on VMs that are on different hosts, but the same cluster, I see they are unable to ping each other, though it seems to work fine if they are on the same host. Is that elected behaviour? Could you you please help me understand why? Thanks, Anurag

Issue with NFS and Storage domain setup
by Inquirer Guy 16 Aug '18

16 Aug '18

Hi Ovirt, I successfully installed both ovirt-engine(ENGINE01) and ovirt node(NODE01) on a separate machines. I also created a FreeNAS(NAS01) with NFS share and already connected to my NODE01, all of these server though I haven't setup a DNS server, was manually added hostname on every machines and I can lookup and ping on them without a problem, I was able to add the NODE01 to my ENGINE01 as well. My issue was when I tried creating a storage domain on my ENGINE01, I did the below steps before running the engine-setup while also following the guide on the ovirt url: https://www.ovirt.org/documentation/how-to/troubleshooting/troubleshooting-… #touch /etc/exports #systemctl start rpcbind nfs-server #systemctl enable rpcbind nfs-server #engine-setup #mkdir /var/lib/exports/data #chown vdsm:kvm /var/lib/exports/data I added the 2 just in case but I have tried each alone but all fails #vi /etc/exports /var/lib/exports/data *(rw,sync,no_subtree_check,all_squash,anonuid=36,anongid=36) /var/lib/exports/data 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0(rw) #systemctl restart rpc-statd nfs-server Once I started to add my storage domain I get the below error Attached is the engine log for your reference. Hope you guys can help me with these, Im really interested with this great product. Thanks!

Hi Everyone, I am encountering an issue on my oVirt 4.2 self-hosted engine installation. Suddenly the "Preview" button in snapshots menu became inactive, I just cannot revert any previews snapshots. This feature worked fine over the last month, but now it seems to be just inactive. Any thoughts on this ? Thank you very much ! Leo -- Best regards, Leo David

Patches for L1FT?
by Eduardo Mayoral 16 Aug '18

16 Aug '18

Hi, For mitigation of the recently announced L1TF vulnerability, is it sufficient to update the compute nodes to the updated kernel? Are any other updates to KVM / vdsm / ovirt-engine required? Also, for the concurrent variant. Should we disable hyperthreading altogether? Is there any remediation (even if expensive from a performance view), that can be enabled? Thanks for your help! -- Eduardo Mayoral.

Do I need to set VM vnic profile for GlusterFS network?
by Jayme 16 Aug '18

16 Aug '18

I followed this guide to get my three node HCI cluster up and running: https://www.ovirt.org/blog/2018/02/up-and-running-with-ovirt-4-2-and-gluste… The docs were a bit out of date but most things matched up. I have configured an internal GlusterFS network on a separate subnet on 10Gbe switch and have set it as the glusterFS and migration network. Is this all that is needed to be done for all glusterFS traffic to pass through that network or must the glusterFS vnic profile also be selected for each VM? I'm not sure if my VMs should be using ovirtmgmnt vnic or GlusterFS vnic.

storage domain sync problem and fail to run vm after change LUN mapping
by dvotrak 16 Aug '18

16 Aug '18

Environment: Ovirt version: 4.2.5 Centos 7.5 During a planned maintenance window, multipath configuration was changed according to the storage vendor guidelines. The new configuration modify user_friendly_names from no to yes, so the multipath -ll output changed from this "360060160a6213400fa2d31acbbfce511 dm-8 DGC" to this: "mpathh (360060160a6213400fa2d31acbbfce511) dm-8 DGC". After this change, the following errors are displayed: 1) when attempting to start a VM with direct LUN: Failed to run VM <VMNAME> on Host <HYPERVISOR> VM <VMNAME> is down. Exit message: Bad volume specification <LUN_ID> Inspecting the VM disk, the lun id remains the previous one (360060160a6213400fa2d31acbbfce511) insted of the new one (mpathh) Remove/detach and re-add/re-attach the disk to VM doesen't help. 2) randomly: Storage domains with IDs [<ID>] could not be synchronized. To synchronize them, please move them to maintenance and then activate. Moving it to maintenance and then activate it doesen't help. Inspecting storage domain luns, almost all change the lun id to the new ones (mpathXX), but this one remain in "the old style" (maybe because lun_id is a primary key and this one was already taken?) Any idea on how to resolve these problems? Thanks Sent with [ProtonMail](https://protonmail.com) Secure Email.

I get: Cannot import VM. Invalid time zone for given OS type. Attribute: vm.vmStatic I found an old thread here: https://lists.ovirt.org/pipermail/users/2014-January/019363.html But it states the issue was resolved in 3.3.1. Running oVirt 4.2.5.1 The VM has the proper time zone set and the clock synced with a time server. Hardware compatibility of the VM has been upgraded to VM Version 9 as recommended on the oVirt IRC channel. I appreciate any help! Thanks, Jason

"ISCSI multipathing" tab isn't appear in datacenter settings
by navigator80＠tut.by 15 Aug '18

15 Aug '18

Hello. We have 6 servers in our cluster, which use 2 storage through iSCSI connections. Each storage has 2 nodes. Each node has 2 IP addresses in two different VLANs. Each host has 2 networks in this VLANs, so, the iSCSI traffic is separated from other types of traffic. I want to turn on iSCSI multipathing beetween hosts and storage, but "ISCSI multipathing" tab isn't appear in datacenter settings. But when I'm add a additional storage domain, "ISCSI multipathing" tab is displaying. If I want to detach this additional storage domain, "ISCSI multipathing" tab is disappear at once. Why is this happening?

upgrading 4.0.1 to latest 4.2
by Charles Kozler 15 Aug '18

15 Aug '18

Hello - I am kicking around different ideas of how I could achieve this I have been bitten, hard, with in place upgrades before so I am not really wanting to do this unless its a complete last resort...and even then I'm iffy Really, the only configuration I have is 1 VDSM hook and about 20 networks. The physical hardware is not going anywhere. Out of my three nodes, I can push all VM's to the other 2 nodes and do a fresh build on 1 node I am hoping there may be a way for me to do a fresh install of 4.2, export engine config from 4.0.1, and then import it in some way - is this possible? Quick google doesnt yield much and searches for 'export' usually result in storage related results

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
