Storage Domain ISCSI Inactive

Hi folks, I'm already searching on internet and any related documentation with ovirt, but i'm still facing the problem. I've 3 hosts and 1 storage using netapp. After create new LUN and deleting the new one. The Data Centers is down, but VM guests still running. Step to reproduce : 1. Create new LUN. 2. Attach new LUN to existing iscsi storage data (master) 3. The space on the existing iscsi storage would be increase 4. Remove the new LUN from existing iscsi storage 5. Storage domain would be Non-Responsive I've already reboot the rhev-m and also rhev-host. But the Data Centers status is still Non-Responsive. Below the related log : engine.log 2015-03-02 07:55:47,884 WARN [org.ovirt.engine.core.bll.storage.ExtendSANStorageDomainCommand] (ajp-/127.0.0.1:8702-4) [70555e6d] CanDoAction of action ExtendSANStorageDomain failed.

oVirt is pleased to announce it will be participating in the May-August 2015 round of Outreachy, organized by the GNOME Foundation, Software Freedom Conservancy, and Red Hat. Outreachy helps women (cis and trans) and genderqueer get involved in free and open source software. The program provides a supportive community for beginning to contribute any time throughout the year and offers focused internship opportunities twice a year with a number of free software organizations. If anyone has a project they'd like to add to the list of ideas at[1], there is still time. Applications will open tomorrow. Right now we are confirmed for at least one intern, but there should be funding for at least one more. Thanks!

How to import existing DC with replicated glusterfs
by Arman Khalatyan 01 Mar '15

01 Mar '15

Hi, I try to import existing DC with replicated glusterfs in Ovirt 3.5.1 on centos 7.0. Usually in the normal case I set the mount points in the fstab as: server01:DATA /data glusterfs defaults,_netdev,log-level=WARNING,backupvolfile-server=server02 In the import dialog the mount options are grayed. If I put my server01:DATA everything works as far as server01 is there. Can I set somewhere the fail-over ip adress for the next replica? thanks, Arman. *********************************************************** Dr. Arman Khalatyan eScience -SuperComputing Leibniz-Institut für Astrophysik Potsdam (AIP) An der Sternwarte 16, 14482 Potsdam, Germany ***********************************************************

Hi, Here is the result of the command actually tables "audit_log" are very large . What can I do to prevent the file system fills up? psql engine -c "SELECT nspname || '.' || relname AS relation, pg_size_pretty(pg_relation_size(C.oid)) AS size FROM pg_class C LEFT JOIN pg_namespace N ON (N.oid = C.relnamespace) WHERE nspname NOT IN ('pg_catalog', 'information_schema') ORDER BY pg_relation_size(C.oid) DESC LIMIT 20;" relation | size ------------------------------------------+--------- public.audit_log | 826 MB public.idx_audit_correlation_id | 159 MB public.idx_audit_log_job_id | 114 MB public.idx_audit_log_storage_domain_name | 114 MB public.idx_audit_log_user_name | 114 MB public.idx_audit_log_vm_name | 114 MB public.idx_audit_log_storage_pool_name | 114 MB public.idx_audit_log_vds_name | 114 MB public.idx_audit_log_vm_template_name | 113 MB public.pk_audit_log | 90 MB public.idx_audit_log_log_time | 90 MB pg_toast.pg_toast_2618 | 1336 kB public.vm_dynamic | 680 kB public.vm_statistics | 496 kB public.disk_image_dynamic | 288 kB public.vds_interface_statistics | 256 kB public.vm_device | 208 kB public.vds_dynamic | 128 kB pg_toast.pg_toast_2619 | 120 kB public.pk_disk_image_dynamic | 104 kB (20 rows) Regards Massimo

Problem deploying ovirt-hosted-engine to iSCSI
by Justin Clacherty 26 Feb '15

26 Feb '15

Hi, I'm back to testing oVirt again but have come across a problem when trying to deploy the ovirt hosted engine with iSCSI. The deploy asks questions about iSCSI, finds the iSCSI target, asks for the iqn, then goes to start the storage server but stops there, hanging forever. In this state I can see that the iSCSI session has logged in and the drive appears in the system (as sdb) but that's it. It appears as though it's getting stuck when it tries to get the list of luns. Has anyone else come across this issue? Any ideas where I can start with troubleshooting? Cheers, Justin.

3.5.1 not detecting Haswell CPU
by Blaster 26 Feb '15

26 Feb '15

I just upgraded from a working 3.5.0 on F20 to 3.5.1. After the upgrade, 3.5.1 started detecting my i7-4790k as a Sandy Bridge, and not the Haswell it properly detected with 3.5.0.

Automation and engine-setup
by Trey Dockendorf 26 Feb '15

26 Feb '15

I am attempting to update my Puppet module [1] that manages oVirt and have found my method for executing engine-setup works on a fresh install but fails if run after install, for example to enable reports. Normally I run this: yes 'Yes' | engine-setup --config-append=/var/lib/ovirt-engine/setup/answers/ovirt-engine-setup.conf However if I've already installed ovirt-engine and then install the packages for reports and re-run the above command it gets stuck at this step: [ INFO ] Stage: Setup validation During execution engine service will be stopped (OK, Cancel) [OK]: Since "Yes" is not a valid response my method does not work. Is there a flag I can provide in the answers file that would prevent the above prompt? I am semi familiar with using expect but was hoping to avoid using expect from within a Puppet module. Thanks, - Trey [1]: https://github.com/treydock/puppet-ovirt/tree/1.x

HA of VMs
by Matt Wells 24 Feb '15

24 Feb '15

I've been poking around for a better way to perform HA. With VM's like IPA or even HA web sites behind an HAProxy; how do I ensure that they are never on the same host? I've seen the options for watchdog and I can see where that may help a little, but not without the initial outage to trigger the alert. There are many ways to do this however I see few that scale. I'm sure I'm missing something and I really appreciate any guidance. Thanks all

oVirt Manager problem
by Massimo Mad 24 Feb '15

24 Feb '15

I have a problem on my oVirt manager, the problem is that the directory /var/lib/pgsql/data/base fills. Initially thinking that my file system /var/log 2Gb was too small now have increased to 4Gb and is refilled, i have increased again to 5 Gb and is refilled again. Why ? I have implemented the backup of the manager with the script backup.sh, this could be the cause of the problem ? Sorry in the script backup.sh there is this #!/bin/bash /usr/bin/engine-backup --mode=backup --scope=all --file="/root/ovirt-engine-backups/$(hostname)-backup-$(date +%A).tar.bz2" --log=/var/log/ovirt-engine-backups.log

Ovirt 3.5.x Power failure recovery
by Raymond 24 Feb '15

24 Feb '15

Hi, Long time read-only user here :) Unfortunately I need some info which I can't seem to find in the archives and on Google. In the past 5 months we’ve had two very rare occasions of power failures in my hometown. First one was a ms during spike or drop, just enough to cause a reboot, the other was a 30min failure. Problem After the power failure my ovirt nodes boot into CentOS 6.6 and are running fine. In both cases my ovirt-engine-VM wouldn't "start" due to service Postgresql not starting. I tried some things before reverting back to an older DB snapshot that was on the VM disk, but still not working. Postgresql is not starting due to "Duplicate UUID" My solution Calm down girlfriend and don't sleep Reinstall 1 node, create new ovirt-engine, recreate VM's and copy VM disk data from old store to new store. Add second node Other solutions I can think of 1. Start cluster without reinstall ;) 2. Buy UPS (€150 one time, extra €60 yearly power usage = €450 in 5 years) At this moment I’m 1 click away from buying the UPS, but I prefer a more elegant solution. After the last power failure I did NOT reinstall my second ovirt node and the old engine is also on storage available. Is there someone that wants some data to troubleshoot/analyse? Or is this just one of those things? Buy the UPS and get on with your life? Short HW overview 2x ovirt 3.5.x (i3/32GB ram,1Gb eth VM network, dual x520 NFS eth) 1x NFS (i3/4GB ram, 5TB SAS and 6TB SATA on Dell PERC,1Gb eth mgmt, dual x520 10Gb) 1Gb is used for VM networking, the 10Gb is connected via DAC cables and runs NFS-storage. This works great! Whole cluster runs below 120w and VM disk performance is around 700MB/s :) I bought all the HW with power usage in mind, PicoPSU's and 35w CPU's in all nodes. So adding 30w "extra" just for the UPS feels a bit like killing an elephant with tissues... kind regards Raymond
