better understand ovirt-engine functions
by stuartk＠alleninstitute.org 07 Aug '18

07 Aug '18

I've been reading through documentation https://www.ovirt.org/documentation/architecture/architecture/ https://www.ovirt.org/documentation/self-hosted/Self-Hosted_Engine_Guide/ But am struggling still to understand the role ovirt-engine plays. Would anyone have recommends for additional reads? The problem I'm tackling currently looks like this: - We have (2) oVirt Data Centers, each populated by a single Cluster. The Data Centers are physically & network-wise 'distant' from one another - hosted-engine runs on (3) of the (4) Hosts in Data Center A / Cluster A. hosted-engine does not run on Data Center B / Cluster B - When we disrupt network connectivity around Cluster A (yes, that's Cluster *A*), Hosts in Cluster B crash (requiring a power cycle) and Guests in Cluster B get stopped and paused I'm struggling to understand why mussing with Cluster A affects Cluster B. From pcaps, I can see plenty of TLS traffic from Cluster A's Hosts -- presumably from ovirt-engine running on Cluster A -- exchanged with Cluster B. So, during my last maintenance window, I put hosted-engine into maintenance mode ... but Hosts/VMs in Cluster B were still affected. Where do I go to better understand what ovirt-engine does when it is 'managing' Hosts & VMs? --sk

Datacenter of several Hosts with Local Storage ? (share Logical Network)
by jeanbaptiste＠nfrance.com 07 Aug '18

07 Aug '18

Hello, My question is pretty simple :) Is there a way to configure Local(s) Storage Datacenter with more than 1 host ? The goal is is to share some Datacenter simple parameters between several hosts (with Local storage) like Logical Networks ? If it is not possible what is the best way / workaound to do this ? To compare, on Xenserver, it is possible to configure a "Pool" of some hosts which have Local Storage, but which share same Logical network configuration.. (I do not say XS is better^^, far from it !) Thanks for all :) Jean-Baptiste

MoM - Not working ? How to use it ?
by jeanbaptiste＠nfrance.com 07 Aug '18

Hello, I'm trying to test Memory balloon useful functionality, but l'm unable to make it work successfuly. Firstly, I enable the MOM on my Cluster: Memory Balloon Enable Memory Balloon Optimization Secondly, I configure a VM virtual machine like this: On system tab: Memory Size : 28672 MB Maximum memory : 28672 MB On Ressource allocation tab: Memory Allocation: Physical Memory Guaranteed : 2048 MB Memory Balloon Device: Enabled Thirdly, I test 1- I boot the VM. After boot VM consume 200MB 2- I lauch perl program which consume 26GB. 3- During this, Host RAM usage is near 90% 4- I stop the perl program, and on guest side, RAM usage drop down to 200Mo 5- On host side, RAM usage keep to 24 - 26GB. I wait some time to show if the qemu-vm process drop is host-ram-usage. Ram usage keep to 24GB. 6- I try to launch another VM like the first one (but with 8GB RAM and 2GB Guaranteed) , on the host (to "force" Mom ?) but I'm unable to lauch it, Host free mem is insufficient I change MoM log to debug to show something: 2018-07-31 11:49:31,887 - mom.RPCServer - INFO - ping() 2018-07-31 11:49:31,888 - mom.RPCServer - INFO - getStatistics() 2018-07-31 11:49:31,888 - mom.Monitor - DEBUG - Field 'mem_free' not known.

Tuning and testing GlusterFS performance
by Jayme 07 Aug '18

07 Aug '18

So I've finally completed my first HCI build using the below configuration: 3x Dell PowerEdge R720 2x 2.9 GHz 8 Core E5-2690 256GB RAM 2x250gb SSD Raid 1 (boot/os) 2x2TB SSD jbod passthrough (used for gluster bricks) 1Gbe Nic for management 10Gbe nic for Gluster Using Replica 3 with no arbiter. Installed the latest version of oVirt available at the time 4.2.5. Created recommended volumes (with an additional data volume on second SSD). Not using VDO First thing I did was setup glusterFS network on 10Gbe and set it to be used for glusterFS and migration traffic. I've setup a single test VM using Centos7 minimal on the default "x-large instance" profile. Within this VM if I do very basic write test using something like: dd bs=1M count=256 if=/dev/zero of=test conv=fdatasync I'm seeing quite slow speeds, only 8mb/sec. If I do the same from one of the hosts gluster mounts i.e. host1: /rhev/data-center/mnt/glusterSD/HOST:data I get about 30mb/sec (which still seems fairly low?) Am I testing incorrectly here? Is there anything I should be tuning on the Gluster volumes to increase performance with SSDs? Where can I find out where the bottle neck is here, or is this expected performance of Gluster?

Unable to revive host after a reboot
by Julius Schwartzenberg 03 Aug '18

03 Aug '18

Hi, I recently had to shutdown my oVirt system which contains both the engine and the host. After it came back up, the host was not able to initialize anymore from the oVirt UI. First it kept getting stuck in a loop with setting "ExecutingStarted: Jul 30, 2018, 9:06:21 AMSetting Host pc331 to Non-Operational mode." This was being repeated over and over again. It also gave this error: Host pc331 does not comply with the cluster Default networks, the following networks are missing on host: 'ovirtmgmt' Even though I am using that interface (ovirtmgmt) to access the system and 'ip addr show' shows that it's set up properly. I tried some more things, including upgrading the host, When I do that, the status changes to 'Installing' and later to 'Install Failed'. Here are the engine.log, vdsm.log and ovirt-host-deploy*.log: https://drive.google.com/open?id=13vIUDVjPynmAK0pnFRLabDfUlG1lmkpI https://drive.google.com/open?id=10Zm2dDpxM2k5A2bEs_l6gOv_yWv4cjlN https://drive.google.com/open?id=1AieWMzRuA0gZj3x5yDH1AGnsT2E3VtOM Any idea what is going wrong (what I'm doing wrong) and how to solve it? Thanks in advance! Best regards, Julius

Possible to use Console via Mac web browser?
by Jayme 03 Aug '18

03 Aug '18

I recall in the past (on a bit older of an oVirt build) I was able to launch VM consoles from my web browser. I believe it may have been using spice html5 at the time, is this still possible? Currently launching console downloads the typical .vv file. What is currently the best/easiest method to access VM consoles using MacOS?

uploading ISOs
by William Dossett 02 Aug '18

02 Aug '18

Hi, Before I go to the work of making my iso's available to the ovirt-engine so I can use the iso uploader cli. I haven't worked with ovirt for a while and the documents still refer to an ISO domain and engine-iso-uploader the former which I understand is not required now, just wondered if there was any easier way to upload through the web UI maybe? I noticed an upload button under images. could that be used for ISOs? I remember that was something that put me off slightly working with Ovirt last time was the number of steps I had to take to get an ISO available to build a VM from, but if that's still the way I will soldier on. Thanks Bill

Trouble connecting to IDRAC7
by Jayme 01 Aug '18

01 Aug '18

I just enabled power management/fencing successfully on two of my hosts (Dell poweredge R720s with Idrac 7) but am failing to add the third. I enter the IP and user/pass like the others, it takes 15 seconds or so they spits out "Test Failed: Internal JSON-RPC error" I tried resetting the IDRAC on that server. I can also ping it and access it fine in a web browser. I can ping it from the host as well. Is there any configuration in IDRAC that could be blocking the fence attempt or any logs in oVirt I can look at to figure out what might be happening with the connection? I see there is a "fence_idrac" command on the hosts but unsure what switches to use with it to test. Thanks!

template disk attribute in version 4 restapi
by like.ma＠cs2c.com.cn 01 Aug '18

Hi All, In the restapi of version 3, there is bootable attribute in disk. But in version 4, the bootable attribute is removed from disk. For vm i can get bootable attribute from diskattachment. But there is no diskattachment in template. So, is there any way in the restapi of version 4 that i can know if the disk of the template is bootable or not? Thanks Regards. like.ma(a)cs2c.com.cn

Data Recovery from snapshot
by Jim Kusznir 01 Aug '18

01 Aug '18

Hi: With yet another gluster disk failure / gluster collapse, it appears I lost the "main" backing image for one of my vm servers. I have snapshots still in tact (or at least, appear to be), but the main image is gone. The main server process stores a backup at regular intervals in its disk, and that would have been changed data, so it would be in the snapshot rather than the base image. Is there any way to recover this one .tar.gz file from the snapshot with the missing main image? This is a backup of dynamic data, and without it, I will have lost several customers data, some of which cannot be recreated/regenerated. it also appears that my backup (gluster geo-replication) did not work (had crashed a while ago, and has a very old backup of this image). --Jim
