vGPU setup guide
by Callum Smith 24 Jun '18

24 Jun '18

Dear All, IS this the most current and useful example of implenting vGPUs in oVirt? I had understood that 4.2 had NVIDIA GRID support as a flagship feature, but this appears to be 4.1.4? It seems a very reasonable and decent guide, just don't want to go down this route if there's alternatives now available in 4.2.x. https://mpolednik.github.io/2017/09/13/vgpu-in-ovirt/ Regards, Callum -- Callum Smith Research Computing Core Wellcome Trust Centre for Human Genetics University of Oxford e. callum(a)well.ox.ac.uk<mailto:callum@well.ox.ac.uk>

Missing step(s) after custom x509 certificates
by John Florian 24 Jun '18

24 Jun '18

I followed the docs at https://www.ovirt.org/documentation/admin-guide/appe-oVirt_and_SSL/ and all works well from the usual web portal. Went to test moVirt and ran into a snag. It wants to download the CA using http://fqdn/ovirt-engine/services/pki-resource?resource=ca-certificate&form…, but that's grabbing the old CA issued by the engine rather than my custom CA. What else needs to be changed? I'm sure I can finagle my way to a fix here by telling moVirt to use a custom URL or file, but this looks like a bug in the docs that would probably best be fixed. -- John Florian

disk performance findings
by william.dossett＠gmail.com 24 Jun '18

24 Jun '18

I have deployed a HCI environment several times now as I wanted to get some idea of disk performance with Gluster/ On a Dell R720 3 node cluster with H710 PERC controller and 8 x 2TB 7200 RPM SATA drives. My first test was with the 8 drives configured as H/W RAID 6 and I configured Gluster as RAID 6 - quite a lot of redundancy but that was just my first deployment Running IOMeter for 24 hours using all in one access specification I got 240 IOPs. Pretty good for SATA drives. I then broke the RAID and configured 8 virtual disks, one per physical and then deployed Gluster as JBOD - I am not sure how resilient that is, but I assume in a 3 node cluster failures to tolerate would be one. This gave me 267 IOPs. I don't know that much about the internals of Gluster, but when I first asked about this there didn't seem to be much knowledge of what configuration would be best for HCI. I plan to do more research and tests on this, but for what its worth for now, I am going down the JBOD route with no H/W RAID. Regards Bill

Restore and rename engine
by Staniforth, Paul 23 Jun '18

23 Jun '18

Hello, I have been trying to test our system by restoring from backup to a new machine and running ovirt-engine-rename, then engine-setup. I get to sent back to the main oVirt Web page from any of the portals, which has an Warning triangle saying the engine is initializing. and in the URL it has ovirt-engine/?error_description=server_error%3A+%2Fetc%2Fpki%2Fjava%2Fcacerts+(No+such+file+or+directory)&error=server_error The original machine had a certificate signed by an external authority. I tried putting back the link from apache-ca.pem to ca.pem, the original apache.key.nopass, websocket-proxy.key.nopass as well as hte key files. I upgraded from 4.1.9 to 4.2.3 and it says it is resigning the certificates but still fails. Regards, Paul S.

quick way to start glusterfs managed engine over?
by william.dossett＠gmail.com 23 Jun '18

23 Jun '18

I have successfully got glusterfs playbook to finish once and then my networking was wrong on the managed engine and on the hosts, so I started over. Now I can't seem to even get that far again. I completely reloaded the hosts, but that takes a while. Last time glusterfs failed right at the end with "host is not in 'Peer in Cluster' state" Redeploying fails as partitions already exist. I am deploying to /dev/sdb Is there a quick way to get /dev/sdb back into a state to redeploy to? I think I got there once by doing pvremove and gdisk zap gpt, but not sure if that worked or caused problem on the redeploy. Its very time consuming to start over from scratch, so would appreciate if there is any shortcut instead of reloading the OS. Thans Bill

Ignore extra parameters in oVirt API
by Hari Prasanth Loganathan 22 Jun '18

22 Jun '18

Hi Team, I want to attach the disk using the oVIrt rest API, I use the version* 4.2* and completed my script. But when I downgrade my oVirt to lower version *4.1*, I get the following error. detail: 'For correct usage, see: https://X.X.99.84/ovirt-engine/api/v4/model#services/disk-attachments/metho…',\n reason: 'Request syntactically incorrect.',\n error: 'For correct usage, see: https://X.X.99.84/ovirt-engine/api/v4/model#services/disk-attachments/metho… ',\n *Reason*: I added an extra parameter called 'isSharable' which is not expected in this API. *So Is there a way to Ignore the extra parameters sent for oVirt API?* *Example :* *Expected :* *{* * "a" : "1"* *}* *I sent :* *{* * "a" : "1",* * "b" : "2"* *}* *My expectation is, Ignore the "b" and the API should work, Is there a flag in oVirt API which ignores the extra parameters? * Thanks, Hari

Unable to backend oVirt with Cinder

------=_Part_51316288_608143832.1472587678781 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit I've got Cinder configured and pointed at Ceph for it's back end storage. I can run ceph commands on the cinder machine and cinder is configured for noauth and I've also tried it with Keystone for auth. I can run various cinder commands and it'll return as expected. When I configure it in oVirt it'll add the external provider fine, but when I go to create a disk it doesn't populate the volume type field, it's just empty. The corresponding command for cinder: cinder type-list and cinder type-show <name> returns fine and it is public. Ovirt and Cinder are on the same host so it isn't a firewall issue.

21 Jun '18

Hello, I'm trying to see how to create a snapshot of a VM, but only of a subset of its disks (actually it will be only the bootable one) Taking the examples at https://github.com/oVirt/ovirt-engine-sdk/tree/master/sdk/examples I can accomodate something like this # Get the reference to the service that manages the virtual machines: vms_service = system_service.vms_service() # Find the virtual machine and put into data_vm vm = vms_service.list( search='name=%s' % MY_VM_NAME, all_content=True, )[0] logging.info( 'Found virtual machine \'%s\', the id is \'%s\'.', vm.name, vm.id, ) # Find the services that manage the data_vm virtual machine: vm_service = vms_service.vm_service(vm.id) # Send the request to create the snapshot. Note that this will return # before the snapshot is completely created, so we will later need to # wait till the snapshot is completely created. snaps_service = vm_service.snapshots_service() snap = snaps_service.add( snapshot=types.Snapshot( description=snap_description, persist_memorystate=False, ), ) This makes a snapshot of all the dsks of the vm. I can previously filter in my case the bootable disk with something like this: # Locate the service that manages the disk attachments of the virtual # machine: disk_attachments_service = vm_service.disk_attachments_service() # Retrieve the list of disks attachments, and print the disk details. disk_attachments = disk_attachments_service.list() for disk_attachment in disk_attachments: disk = connection.follow_link(disk_attachment.disk) print("name: %s" % disk.name) print("id: %s" % disk.id) print("status: %s" % disk.status) print("bootable: %s" % disk_attachment.bootable) print("provisioned_size: %s" % disk.provisioned_size) So in case of an example VM with two disks I get this print out name: padnpro_bootdisk id: c122978a-70d7-48aa-97c5-2f17d4603b1e status: ok bootable: True provisioned_size: 59055800320 name: padnpro_imp_Disk1 id: 5454b137-fb2c-46a7-b345-e6d115802582 status: ok bootable: False provisioned_size: 10737418240 But I haven't found then the syntax to use to specify a disk list in the block where I create the sapshot of the VM snap = snaps_service.add( snapshot=types.Snapshot( description=snap_description, persist_memorystate=False, disxk x x x ? ? ? ), ) Any help in this direction?

oVirt 4.2 and I/O threads configuration
by Gianluca Cecchi 21 Jun '18

21 Jun '18

Hello, in oVirt 4.1 I could enable I/O threads for a VM and then there was a field where I could define how many I/O threads (aka virtual scsi controllers from vm point of view). In 4.2 now I see only the option to enable them but not to specify the number. Next to the setting there is a symbol and a mouseover says "the field is not attached to any instance type" See this screenshot for the Edit VM -> Resource Allocation content: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1JzCiUBnWxS9fiY64_p5TJMY0uO5ZZUID/view?usp=… Any hints for setting the number? Thanks in advance, Gianluca

ovirt upgrade 4.1 -> 4.2: host bricks down
by Alex K 20 Jun '18

20 Jun '18

Hi all, I have a ovirt 2 node cluster for testing with self hosted engine on top gluster. The cluster was running on 4.1. After the upgrade to 4.2, which generally went smoothly, I am seeing that the bricks of one of the hosts (v1) are detected as down, while the gluster is ok when checked with command lines and all volumes mounted. Below is the error that the engine logs: 2018-06-17 00:21:26,309+03 ERROR [org.ovirt.engine.core.bll.gluster.GlusterSyncJob] (DefaultQuartzScheduler2) [98d7e79] Error while refreshing brick statuses for volume 'vms' of cluster 'test': null 2018-06-17 00:21:26,318+03 ERROR [org.ovirt.engine.core.vdsbroker.gluster.GetGlusterLocalLogicalVolumeListVDSCommand] (DefaultQuartzScheduler2) [98d7e79] Command 'GetGlusterLocalLogicalVolumeListVDSCommand(HostName = v0.test-group.com, VdsIdVDSCommandParametersBase:{hostId='d5a96118-ca49-411f-86cb-280c7f9c421f'})' execution failed: null 2018-06-17 00:21:26,323+03 ERROR [org.ovirt.engine.core.vdsbroker.gluster.GetGlusterLocalLogicalVolumeListVDSCommand] (DefaultQuartzScheduler2) [98d7e79] Command 'GetGlusterLocalLogicalVolumeListVDSCommand(HostName = v1.test-group.com, VdsIdVDSCommandParametersBase:{hostId='12dfea4a-8142-484e-b912-0cbd5f281aba'})' execution failed: null 2018-06-17 00:21:27,015+03 INFO [org.ovirt.engine.core.bll.lock.InMemoryLockManager] (DefaultQuartzScheduler9) [426e7c3d] Failed to acquire lock and wait lock 'EngineLock:{exclusiveLocks='[00000002-0002-0002-0002-00000000017a=GLUSTER]', sharedLocks=''}' 2018-06-17 00:21:27,926+03 ERROR [org.ovirt.engine.core.bll.gluster.GlusterSyncJob] (DefaultQuartzScheduler2) [98d7e79] Error while refreshing brick statuses for volume 'engine' of cluster 'test': null Apart from this everything else is operating normally and VMs are running on both hosts. Any idea to isolate this issue? Thanx, Alex

cloud-init reverting static network settings to DHCP on shutdown and restart
by geoff.carr＠beazley.com 20 Jun '18

20 Jun '18

Setting static network settings in the "Initial Run" section works fine when deploying a VM from template. When using "Run" to start the VM, customization works as expected. On a reboot the network settings are maintained however if the VM is shutdown and restarted the settings are reverted to DHCP. When editing the VM the cloud-init settings are still set and a visible in the "Initial Run" section. cloud-init (0.7.9-24.el7.centos) - Previously 0.7.9-20.el7.centos but upgraded to see if it would fix the issue. oVirt engine (4.2.4.1-1.el7) Guest OS (CentOS Linux release 7.4.1708) There is another thread that reports exactly the same issue and behavior here: - https://lists.ovirt.org/pipermail/users/2018-March/087860.html Grateful for any thoughts or assistance.

Hardering oVirt Engine
by Punaatua PK 19 Jun '18

19 Jun '18

Hello, we are subject to PCI-DSS. I have some questions. We currently have setup oVirt in our environnement. We created 2 Datacenter. - one with a cluster with hosted engine on gluster (Hyperconverged env) which represents the "LAN" part - one with a cluster with gluster storage wich is the DMZ In PCI-DSS we have to secure communication (use HTTPs as much as possible). I did saw that ovirt-ha-agent (on hosted-engine capable host) check the status of the engine by sending GET request on the hosted-engine on port 80 (the same check that hosted-engine --vm-status did in fact). Since ovirt 4.2.2, with the introduction of gluster eventing, a new flow (HTTP post resquest) is needed from gluster nodes to the engine. (In my case, it's a flow from the DMZ to the LAN part in HTTP (non secure) Here is my question. Is it possible to "hardering" this part of the engine ? Another question out of PCI scope. Events like warning and error in the dashboard are clean each days. I tried to find which process did that (look into /etc/cron.daily, root crontab, etc) on the engine without succes. Is there any maintenance task that is run periodicaly ? Could we have the list of all the engine's task ? (regulary check the status of host, vm, storage) also the frequency ? I would appreciate the help. (Great great product ovirt !) Thank you for your jobs ! We did manage KVM hypervisor as standalone machine without all the power that libvirt provides. No need to spend lot of money into licencing product (VSphere and co)

Re: Ovirt + Gluster : How do I gain access to the file systems of the VMs
by Hanson Turner 19 Jun '18

19 Jun '18

Hi Guys, I've an answer... Here's how I did it... First, I needed kpartx ... so #apt-get install kpartx Then setup a loopback device for the raw hdd image #losetup /dev/loop4 [IMAGE FILE] #kpartx -a /dev/loop4 This allowed me to mount the various partitions included in the VM. There you can modify the configs, make backups etc. Thanks, Hanson On 06/19/2018 09:31 AM, Hanson Turner wrote: > > Hi Sahina, > > Thanks for your reply, I can copy the files off without issue.

General failure
by nicolas＠devels.es 19 Jun '18

19 Jun '18

Hi, We're running oVirt 4.1.9 (we cannot upgrade at this time) and we're having a major problem in our infrastructure. On friday, a snapshots were automatically created on more than 200 VMs and as this was just a test task, all of them were deleted at the same time, which seems to have corrupted several VMs. When trying to delete a snapshot on some of the VMs, a "General error" is thrown with a NullPointerException in the engine log (attached). But the worst part is that when some of these machines is powered off and then powered on, the VMs are corrupt... VM myvm is down with error. Exit message: Bad volume specification {u'index': 0, u'domainID': u'110ea376-d789-40a1-b9f6-6b40c31afe01', 'reqsize': '0', u'format': u'cow', u'bootOrder': u'1', u'address': {u'function': u'0x0', u'bus': u'0x00', u'domain': u'0x0000', u'type': u'pci', u'slot': u'0x06'}, u'volumeID': u'1fd0f9aa-6505-45d2-a17e-859bd5dd4290', 'apparentsize': '23622320128', u'imageID': u'65519220-68e1-462a-99b3-f0763c78eae2', u'discard': False, u'specParams': {}, u'readonly': u'false', u'iface': u'virtio', u'optional': u'false', u'deviceId': u'65519220-68e1-462a-99b3-f0763c78eae2', 'truesize': '23622320128', u'poolID': u'75bf8f48-970f-42bc-8596-f8ab6efb2b63', u'device': u'disk', u'shared': u'false', u'propagateErrors': u'off', u'type': u'disk'}. We're really frustrated by now and don't know how to procceed... We have a DB backup (with engine-backup) from thursday which would have a "sane" DB definition without all the snapshots, as they were all created on friday. Would it be safe to restore this backup? Any help is really appreciated... Thanks.

glusterfs-fuse consuming large amounts of ram
by Edward Clay 19 Jun '18

19 Jun '18

It looks like we are experiencing a bug in the version of glusterfs included with ovirt 4.2.3. It looks like glusterfs 3.12.x has an issue where it consumes large amounts of ram which has caused our HV report storage errors and pause VMs. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1496379 Is there a safe way to get glusterfs-fuse v3.13.x installed with ovirt 4.2.3 or do we have to live with this issue until future updates to ovirt/glusterfs are released? $ ssh hv1.domain.com "sudo grep glusterfs /var/log/messages-* | grep -i kill " /var/log/messages-20180610:Jun 6 13:49:54 hv1 kernel: Out of memory: Kill process 15353 (glusterfs) score 630 or sacrifice child /var/log/messages-20180610:Jun 6 13:49:54 hv1 kernel: Killed process 15353 (glusterfs) total-vm:33800604kB, anon-rss:31896632kB, file-rss:840kB, shmem-rss:0kB /var/log/messages-20180617:Jun 17 00:24:16 hv1 kernel: Out of memory: Kill process 4072 (glusterfs) score 678 or sacrifice child /var/log/messages-20180617:Jun 17 00:24:16 hv1 kernel: Killed process 4072 (glusterfs) total-vm:36159900kB, anon-rss:34338508kB, file-rss:888kB, shmem-rss:0kB We see this same issue occur on all hv in our cluster.
