Hi, what is the best way to logout a single ISCSI Path? I can't find a way in the GUI. Can I use the iscsiadm command (iscsiadm -u -T ... -p ...)? We use oVirt 3.3.2-1.el6. Best regards, Michael

Monitoring UI-Plugin -> Zabbix
by René Koch 02 Jun '14

02 Jun '14

Hi, As some of you might know I wrote a monitoring ui-plugin which displays the check results of a Nagios/Icinga monitoring solution in oVirt webadmin portal. For the next version I want to extend the functionality to also display check results of a Zabbix monitoring solution. I know that there are some people on this list who are experienced with Zabbix so I wanted to ask if there's someone who want's to help integrating Zabbix into this ui-plugin. I mostly need help understanding how Zabbix works and testing early versions (I just have a very small Zabbix monitoring environment) - fetching data from the Zabbix API and displaying it in the same way as Nagios data isn't a problem for me. So if you're willing to help please drop me an email. Thanks. -- Best Regards René Koch Senior Solution Architect ============================================ LIS-Linuxland GmbH Brünner Straße 163, A-1210 Vienna Phone: +43 1 236 91 60 Mobile: +43 660 / 512 21 31 E-Mail: rkoch(a)linuxland.at ============================================

Create two Node Cluster
by ml ml 01 Jun '14

01 Jun '14

Hello List, i just installed 3.4. 1.) I created a DataCenter: ---------------------------------- Type: Shared Compatibility Versio: 3.4 Quota Mode: disabled 2.) i created the Cluster ---------------------------------- Compatibility Version: 3.4 Enable Virt Service: yes Enable Gluster Service: yes 3.) i added two hosts ----------------------------- - they are up and running How can i now add my volumes and bricks? I dont have the exspected "Volumes" Tab to add Bricks. If i go to "Storage" i can only add "Data / GlusterFS" with a path to mount glusterfs. I guess this is for already existing gluster shares? Does it not work like this on page 15,16,17? http://www.ovirt.org/images/5/59/Ovirt-fosdem2013-gluster.pdf Thanks, Mario

oVirt Infiniband Support - Etherrnet vs Infiniband
by ml ml 01 Jun '14

01 Jun '14

Hello List, i am very new to ovirt. I am setting up a 2 Node Cluster with GlusterFS Sync Replication. I was about to buy a 2-Port Intel Gbit nic for each host which is about 150Eur each. However, for a little extra of 180Eur you get a 10GBit Infiniband - MCX311A-XCAT. I would like to have quick opinions on this. Should i pay a little more and then get 10MBit instead of 2GBit bonded? Thanks, michel

Re: [ovirt-users] Server 2012 R2 no drive found (Solved)

Good morning guys, I've got good news, I re-downloaded the Windows 2012R2 ISO last night because a technician informed me that the original ISO was smaller than the size mentioned on the Windows download link. After re-downloading it and uploading it again, everything is now working perfectly and I can install using virtio or IDE. My apologies for this being such a silly issue. Thank you very much for your all of your assistance. It is greatly appreciated as usual. Kind regards. Neil Wilson.

Selecting which host to run a VM on using ovirt-shell
by Joop 28 May '14

28 May '14

Hi List, As per the subject, I have a desire to start a lot of VMs after a maintenance shutdown of our infrastructure and I would like to either evenly spread the load among the hosts or to restart the VMs on the host they were on before shutdown. Getting the list using ovirt-shell and transforming that to a 'action vm ABC start' is no problem but I can't find if its possible to specify the host to run the VM on. Is this possible using ovirt-shell and can someone point me to some docs? (Have read (all) the rhevm docs but either overlooked or its not there) Regards, Joop

Re: [ovirt-users] Server 2012 R2 no drive found
by Neil 28 May '14

Hi Rene, Thanks for testing this out. It seems I'm doing the exact same thing, but I don't get any IDE drive showing, and again when I try using the virtio from the same link for the virtio drivers using the same directory from Win8 AMD64 it lists the virtio-scsi pass through as a compatible driver, but if you click "Next" to install, it says "No new device drivers were found. Make sure the media contains the correct drivers, and then click OK" Attached is a screenshot showing the error... So if I go and change my disks to virtio, virtio-scsi, or IDE under "disks --> edit" I get the same result. I've also right clicked on the VM, gone to advanced, resources and then enabled or disabled "Virtio-SCSI enabled". Something really doesn't seem right. When you create a VM, have you got the option to choose 2012 R2, or do you also only have 2012 showing in the list of operating systems? Thank you so much. Regards. Neil Wilson.

Thank you Rene, greatly appreciated. I'm using the Server 2012 R2 Standard edition and at this point I haven't even got a NIC added to the VM. Another piece of info which might be useful (or not) is I'm using a FC SAN for storage, not sure if this would have any affect. Thanks. Regards. Neil Wilson.

Re: [ovirt-users] Removing VM disk issue (Solved)

Thanks Maor and Koen, Koen: I tried the engine restart and vdsm restart, but that didn't work unfortunately. Maor: I ran... psql -U postgres engine then... UPDATE images set imagestatus = 1 where image_guid = (SELECT image_guid from all_disks where disk_alias = 'proxy02_Disk0' and vm_names ='proxy02'); UPDATE 1 This then unlocked the disk and it allowed me to remove the entire VM and disk thereafter. Thank you very much for your assistance. Kind regard. Neil Wilson. On Wed, May 28, 2014 at 3:18 PM, Koen Vanoppen <vanoppen.koen(a)gmail.com> wrote: > We have this same issue also once in a while.

Removing VM disk issue
by Neil 28 May '14

28 May '14

Hi guys, I'm trying to remove a VM and reclaim the space that the VM was using. This particular VM had a thin provisioned disk attached as well as "fat" provisioned, the "fat" disks I managed to detach, however when I try to remove the VM, it says "The following disks are locked: Please try again in a few minutes. Attached is a screenshot from the GUI side, showing the proxy disk being locked, any ideas? I'm wanting to completely remove the VM and reclaim the space for the datacenter. Thank you. Regards. Neil Wilson
