[Users] [Bug] Ubuntu 12.04.3 LTS Server does not start with CD attached
by Sven Kieske 16 Dec '13

16 Dec '13

Hi, I created a BZ with very detailed information: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1038121 tl;dr: The above mentioned OS does not start correctly if you attach a cd-rom to it, this includes submitting meta-data via Cloud-Init. The System hangs during the boot-process. I couldn't reproduce this with Ubuntu 13.10, but I have to get Ubuntu 12.04 LTS running with Cloud-Init. I did not find any hint in the Ubuntu log files to the causes of behaviour. You find most of the relevant log files in the BZ. The System boots fine if you eject the cd via webadmin. It seems not to get removed automatically when you shutdown the machine. Did anybody else run into this issue? Any help would be appreciated. -- Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Regards Sven Kieske Systemadministrator Mittwald CM Service GmbH & Co.

[Users] Blank web page after database migration

This is a multi-part message in MIME format. --------------070507000700030702090908 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; format=flowed I followed the instructions from the following URLs http://www.ovirt.org/User:Adrian15/oVirt_engine_migration http://www.ovirt.org/Backup_engine_db I backed up and restored the certificates and the configuration without any issues. But the DB restore in the first set of instructions did not work for me. So I used the method in the second document to backup and restore the DB. I wasn't able to perform the "Update encrypted password" step in the first document, because that script does not exist. However, further down the document, it states that, "You can avoid this editing by choosing same password at both managers (old one and new one". So I am assuming I am OK there. Not enough information to know that, though. The issue I'm having is that, when I browse into the new controller, the page loads, but it's completely blank. No errors or anything. All the services seem to be running normally on the controller. I feel like I'm close.

Re: [Users] moving ovirt controller
by Vered Volansky 16 Dec '13

Hi Rob, What you need to do is upgrade the engine using engine-setup and the SHA of the version you want. If you have the rpm for the newer version use it with engine-seyup. If not, you'll have to build on your own, the use engine-setup. Then you can migrate the DB. This, BTW, is highly not recommended, though this is the way to work. It's recommended to work with stable versions. Let me know us this works for you.

Hey all, When I try do a migration from one node to another (ovirt 3.3 centos, ovirt-node 3.0.1 centos), I'm getting the following error: 2013-12-13 13:09:42.108+0000: 11887: error : virCommandHandshakeWait:2554 : internal error Failed to open socket to sanlock daemon: Permission denied This can be resolved by executing: [root@hv1 ~]# setsebool -P virt_use_sanlock=on [root@hv1 ~]# setsebool -P virt_use_nfs=on But it's not persistent after a reboot. How can I make that a persistent setting? -- Met vriendelijke groeten / With kind regards, Johan Kooijman T +31(0) 6 43 44 45 27 F +31(0) 162 82 00 01 E mail(a)johankooijman.com

[Users] VM with stateless snapshot won't start
by Martijn Grendelman 16 Dec '13

16 Dec '13

Hi, After maintenance on a host, I am trying to start a VM that has been running statelessly for a while. It refuses to start and Engine logs the following: 2013-12-05 11:59:18,125 INFO [org.ovirt.engine.core.dal.dbbroker.auditloghandling.AuditLogDirector] (pool-6-thread-48) Correlation ID: 43d49965, Job ID: 0d943a6d-9d65-4ac1-89b7-139d30b4813c, Call Stack: null, Custom Event ID: -1, Message: Failed to start VM WinXP, because exist snapshot for stateless state. Snapshot will be deleted. Should I submit a bug report for the poor English in this log line? ;-) The 'Snapshots' tab for the VM doesn't show anything, but repeated attempts to start the VM just show the same message in the log. What can I do to start this VM? Cheers, Martijn.

The problem with snapshot-based backups is, that they are usually only crash-consistent, meaning that they contain the state of a system's disks as they would be if you pulled the power plug on a server. If you restore a system from this type of backup, you would see file system recovery happening at the first boot, and you risk data loss from -for example- database servers. The process that GhettoVCB uses according to your description above is the same. Your backups are only crash-consistent. If you need application-level consistency, you need a mechanism to inform applications that a backup is going to take place (or rather: a snapshot will be taken) and that they should place themselves in a consistent state. For example: sync data to disk, flush transaction logs, stuff like that. Microsoft Windows has VSS for that. For Linux, there is no such thing (that I know of). Common practice for "quiescing" database servers and such on Linux is making consistent SQL dumps in a pre-backup job. I my case, for most guests a crash-consistent backup, containing a recent MySQL or PostgreSQL dump is sufficient. I use LVM snapshots (not oVirt snapshots) for backups, and I use Rsync to transfer the data. I have been experimenting with Virtsync [1], but I'm having a bit of trouble with that, so for the moment, it's just Rsync. Efficiently backing up sparse images with Rsync can be a bit of a challenge (that's why Virtsync was created in the first place, IIRC), but using '--sparse' on the inital backup and '--inplace' on subsequent backups seems to do the trick.

[Users] virtio-rng / crypto inside vms
by Sven Kieske 15 Dec '13

15 Dec '13

Hi, I'm just wondering: How is the state of the virtio-rng implementation? I'm asking because I need to regenerate ssh host keys in newly deployed vms. (I seem to be the only person, or everybody else has found the solution, or nobody thinks about security, or a mixture of the above?) Additional I found no really guidance on how much entropy bits should be available to generate a secure key inside a vm, beside these numbers: http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1750.txt suggests about 128 bits of entropy for a single cryptographic operation. various other sources mention ranges between 100-200 or even at least 4096 entropy bits. Would it be a workaround to add a virtual sound device and use this one for /dev/random ? (But it would be useless if you have no real sound hardware I guess). Additional when you want to regenerate host keys in e.g. Ubuntu 3 Keys get generated so you need even more entropy to be on the save side. If you got any links to best practices or some good news regarding the state of virtio-rng that would be awesome. Currently my vms have around 130-160 entropy bits available. -- Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Regards Sven Kieske Systemadministrator Mittwald CM Service GmbH & Co.

[Users] SpiceHTML5, noVNC console and Spice Proxy mixable?
by Gianluca Cecchi 14 Dec '13

14 Dec '13

Hello, I already have a thread regarding SpiceHTML5 open and where I'm going to give further feedback as requested. In the mean time I would like to ask if the three features in the subject are completely mixable or not, as in the next days I'm going to test them all and I would like to start from consistent setup and not to give wrong answers based on wrong initial setup. If I understood correctly, both SpiceHTML5 and noVNC console are based on websocket proxy through the config parameter called WebSocketProxy and I can consolidate this proxy on the engine . SO that I can in the same environment use both. Correct? Coming then to Spice Proxy, managed by config parameter "SpiceProxyDefault", my questions are: - is it mixable with the two above or are they mutually exclusive? - can I configure the engine itself to be the proxy, installing squid on it? - If yes, what would be correct parameter for SpiceProxyDefault: localhost:3128 or engine_hostname.domainname:3128? If both are ok, I think it is more convenient to use localhost, correct? Thanks in advance, Gianluca

[Users] Gluster Volume Info won't update
by Andrew Lau 14 Dec '13

14 Dec '13

Because of a few issues I had with keepalived, I moved my storage network to it's own VLAN but it seems to have broken part of the ovirt gluster management. Same scenario: 2 Hosts 1x Engine, VDSM, Gluster 1x VDSM,Gluster So to properly split the gluster data and ovirtmgmt I simply assigned them two host names and two IPS. 172.16.0.1 (ovirtmgmt) hvx.melb.example.net 172.16.1.1 (gluster) gsx.melb.example.net However the oVirt engine does not seem to like this, it would not pick up the gluster volume as "running" until I did a restart through the UI. The issue (possible bug) I'm seeing is the logs are being filled with http://www.fpaste.org/59440/13862963/ Volume information isn't being pulled as it thinks the gs01.melb.example.netis not within the cluster, where in fact it is but registered under hv01.melb.example.net Thanks, Andrew

Re: [Users] oVirt 3.2.1 - VM in unknown status

Is there any way to bring that kind of VM back > to life? > > Best regards, > Piotr > Hi, I found workaround for this situation. There is a possibility to change the VM status manually in database: update vm_dynamic set status=0 where vm_guid='1d5342a3-9375-49c5-bf2a-2bd444d41d09'; @oVirt developers It seems that in some situations, VM with'unknown' status has no chances to change state. When all hosts in data center are up and the VM is not attached to any host it's a dead end. In this particular situation oVirt engine administrator can't perform any actions on "lost" VM. Is any way to handle this case without database access? Best regards, Piotr* Can you give me more information on how you're able to do this? I have an issue now. My VMs show "Unknown" status, too. If I give you remote access, can you change the status on the VMs for me? Thanks, Chris

Illegal memory size is provided, size needs to be between 1024 MB and 64000 MB. Running a small 2008R2 VM with only 512MB RAM has never been an issue before but now it apparently is. What´s worst is that I can´t seem to change what´s defined inside the template either. If I click for edit inside webadmin and try to change memory from 512 to 1024, it still errors out the same way. I´ve tried to change it to something else entirely but it errors out with the same message regardless.

[Users] Moving hosts to new Gluster cluster issues
by Pat Pierson 12 Dec '13

12 Dec '13

I am in the process of upgrading my cluster while at the same time moving to gluster. My engine is version 3.3.1 and I have a NFS cluster running in 3.1 compatibility mode that I am moving to a 3.3 GlusterFS cluster. Host3 runs the engine and is on the NFS cluster while host2 is running a single brick gluster volume and a few vms on the Gluster cluster. Host1 is the machine I am trying to move from the NFS cluster to the Gluster cluster. Host1 is upgraded to the latest vdsm/gluster/etc (done via the host re-install option in the UI while in maintenance mode). I attempt to change the datacenter/cluster on the host edit page and after I press OK I get the following error in the UI: "Error while executing action ChangeVDSCluster: Network error during communication with the Host." I have checked all IPs and DNS resolutions and even went so far to disable iptables on all of the hosts to make sure I don't have any firewall issues. Host1/2 is running latest centos 6.5 and Host3 is slightly behind on centos 6.4. While attempting to make the change I have tailed the engine.log and it is in the following pastebin http://pastebin.com/1yaK4vYt. Any help would be great. I just need a direction to look in. -- Patrick Pierson
