But I've stopped all my (monitoring) processes using the API. Restarting ovirt-engine and vdsm did not resolve the issue. Both nodes and engine server are running oVirt 3.3.1 on CentOS 6.4 This may be a red herring but the values of disk statistics read through the API are "static"/unchanging. Any clues on whether these messages are serious and any ideas on how to stop them spamming my system logs?

[Users] iso domain in maintenance and VMs cannot start

[Users] GlusterFS Distributed Replicate
by gregoire.leroy＠retenodus.net 20 Dec '13

20 Dec '13

Hello, As I said in a previous email, I have this configuration with Ovirt 3.3 : 1 Ovirt Engine 2 Hosts Centos 6.5 I successfully setup GlusterFS. I created a distributed replicate volume with 2 bricks : host1:/gluster and host2:/gluster. Then, I created a storage storage_gluster POSIXFS with the option glusterfs and I gave the path "host1:/gluster". First, I'm rather surprised I have to specify an host for the storage as I wish to have a distribute replicated storage. I expected to specify both hosts. Then I create a VM on this storage. The expected behaviour if I shutdown host1 should be that my VM keeps running on the second brick. Yet, not only I lose my VM but host2 is in a non operationnal status because one of its data storage is not reachable. Did I miss something in the configuration ? How could I get the wanted behaviour ? Thanks a lot, Regards, Grégoire Leroy

Up to now for me a thin disk is space that is allocated on demand. But if I create VM from a template and use type "Thin" it must be a little bit different. The newly created VM will operate on the frozen template data plus some delta file that stores the changed block. Is that right? Shouldn't that be a "linked-disk"?

[Users] Bridge w/o IP address?
by Blaster 19 Dec '13

19 Dec '13

I want to put multiple VMs on the same hypervisor, some will be Internet facing, some will be internal facing. I obviously don't want the hypervisor to be an attack vector, so I don't want the HV to have an IP address on the DMZ network. Is this configuration as simple as creating another another bridge like the ovirtmgmt bridge, not giving it an IP address, and adding it to the DMZ facing hosts?

Any recommended file system to use to hold VM disk images? EXT4? BTRFS(disable COW I assume?)? ZFS? XFS?

[Users] Ubuntu & Debian guest agent
by Sven Kieske 19 Dec '13

19 Dec '13

Hi, I'm currently investigating the use of the guest agent on the above mentioned operating systems (12.04.3 lts server for Ubuntu and Debian 7). The wiki pages seem outdated to me, as it states for Ubuntu: "There are binary packages available on launchpad PPA. These packages are just for demo." AFAIK there should be somewhere a package with production ready agent at least for Ubuntu(I saw this mentioned somewhere)? ATM I'm running engine 3.3.1 but plan to upgrade to 3.3.2, once RC gets released on Monday. Are there any known limitations in combining different agent/vdsm/engine versions? Can someone point me to some more accurate and up-to-date information than these? http://www.ovirt.org/Ubuntu/GuestAgent http://www.ovirt.org/Debian/GuestAgent http://www.ovirt.org/Category:Ovirt_guest_agent http://www.ovirt.org/Ovirt_guest_agent Thanks in advance -- Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Regards Sven Kieske Systemadministrator Mittwald CM Service GmbH & Co.

[Users] oVirt run once Linux boot options
by Jakub Bittner 19 Dec '13

19 Dec '13

Hello, I am wondering howto use this feature. Is it possible to install server from this dialog? I specified kernel and initrd path as http url to our spacewalk server and to kernel parameters I added ks=http://spacewalk.server.url/ks.cfg, but it did not start. Is it possible to connect oVirt with spacewalk 2.0 (redhat satellite 5.6) to provision servers? Thank you.

[Users] Solaris 11.1 ISO panic on boot
by Blaster 19 Dec '13

19 Dec '13

I have a Solaris 11.1 system running on a nice piece of hardware that I’d like to make better use of. I would like to virtualize it under ovirt. I created an ovirt guest using the RHEL 64 bit template. I attached the Solaris 11.1 ISO and booted. As soon as the Solaris banner is displayed, poof, kernel panic. Of course every whizzes by so fast I have no chance of getting a screen shot. Has anyone been successful in boot Solaris 11.1 under ovirt? Should I have picked a different template?

Re: [Users] simple networking? [SOLVED] mostly
by Juan Pablo Lorier 19 Dec '13

19 Dec '13

Itamar, I have the same problem and already have mentioned that in previous posts. In my case, I have vlan 128 tagged assigned for ovirtmgmt so I set the host ip manually on top of a vlan interface and the, after ovirt does install the node, it fails to finish as it can't manage properly to create the bridge and pass the ip to the brand new bridge. The ovirtmgmt interface I create in engine is a bond (and originally I configure just a single interface with the ip to grant engine access), just in case this changes the scenario. Regards,

[Users] Ovirt 3.3 GlusterFS Enable Service
by gregoire.leroy＠retenodus.net 18 Dec '13

18 Dec '13

Hello, I try to setup Ovirt with this configuration : 1 Engine Ovirt 3.3 (upgraded from 3.2) 2 Nodes Ovirt 3.3 Centos 6.5 GlusterFS I tried to follow the gluster documentation : http://www.gluster.org/2013/09/ovirt-3-3-glusterized/, using POSIXFS as I use CentOs and not Fedora. The problem is, I'm supposed to see a "Gluster Enable Service" in the configuration of cluster but I don't see it. When I first setup ovirt engine, I selected the "virt" Application_Mode. When I try "engine-setup", I don't have the question anymore. I changed it in database : in the vdc_options table, the option ApplicationMode is now 255 and AllowClusterWithVirtGlusterEnabled is True. Then I restarted ovirt-engine. However, I still don't see this option... So someone have any idea about what I can do to access to GlusterFS option ? Thank you, Regards, Grégoire Leroy

Hi Marian, I'm cc-ing the list because I think this may be valuable information for other people trying this on Android 2.3 devices.

Alternatively, your phone may not have enough RAM to run these browsers. At any rate, I'd say the bottom line is that the console.vv route will not work for Android 2.3 devices unless we can figure out a browser that works well enough. > > What browser did you use for accessing console? > To summarize, I've successfully obtained console.vv through Chrome, Firefox, and UCBrowser. The Admin console is not rendered well in any of those browsers, whereas the User console seems to be rendered well enough in any of them. For the User portal to be useful, however, we need to work around the double-click requirement first. For reference, the issue is reported here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1043559 Cheers! iordan

[Users] How to pxeboot ovrit node into memory automatically?
by David Li 18 Dec '13

18 Dec '13

Hi, I was following the instructions at http://www.ovirt.org/Node_PXE. My goal is to use pxeboot (iPXE) to boot the node entirely into RAM with rootfs. What I got now is an installation screen which requires a local storage. My system has no disk and this doesn't quite work for me. What's are the kernel parameters I need to use to boot the node into RAM automatically? I am OK as the first step with a stateless node. David
