Tried it with IDE, SATA, even SCSI, all local attached, even tried it in a VM (nesting enabled, etc.), and same issue appears to freeze. Jumping to alternate consoles, all blank. Tried to run install in text mode, removed quiet and rhgb options from boot command-line, but the UI takes over so no help. When I generated the ISO image, did not notice any errors, source platform for ISO image was Fedora 19 minimal install plus all the adds as outlined on the ovirt node build documentation web page. Anyone run into the same odd issue? Am able to install Fedora 19 on same hardware, so can't see why node install would fail, since am able to select disk drive, but can't write to it?

[Users] convert thin provisioned disks to preallocated
by Alan Johnson 18 Sep '13

18 Sep '13

I am pretty sure I know the answer, but is there any way to do this gracefully, i.e. within the confines of the oVirt API? This is on an iSCSI storage domain. My understanding and further research suggest no, but I wanted to ask before we endeavor on a major overhaul of a production system that some one setup without knowing the better of to the 2 for such use. I am very familiar with the underlying systems (LVM, KVM, etc.) and would appreciate any suggested hacks. So far, here is what I have come up with: Sure to work: Setup a new VM with preallocated drives. Boot both VMs off of a live virtual CD. Use cat/pv and nc (netcat) to read directly from the block devices on one and write directly to the block devices on the other. Reboot the new VM from the internal disks. Tweak MAC addresses along the way so the new VM gets those of the old. The down side is the down time, but we can probably swallow it if we have to. Any other risks? Might work: Create a new VM. Identify the logical volumes (LVs) are assigned for that block devices used by the new and the old. Log into the SPM and read directly from the old LVs to the new. This is similar to that above, but I expect I need to run the data through some kind of qcow2-to-raw conversion process to make this work. Similar down sides to the above, but maybe less so? Thoughts? Another thought I had was to just write zeros to the empty space on the block devices, from inside the guest OS, until the full allocation is achieved. The down side is potential impact on performance of the system while it is filling up and for the (hopefully) very short time the file system is full before an rm of the zeros file kicks in. Also we would still have qcow2 underneath, so would it still add overhead, or does that only apply when it grows? Any other down sides to this? Thanks in advance for your thoughts and consideration. ________________ Alan Johnson alan(a)datdec.com Date Format PSA <http://xkcd.com/1179/>

[Users] oVirt Hosted Engine Pre-reqs (sanlock >= 2.8)
by Andrew Lau 18 Sep '13

18 Sep '13

Hi, I noticed the hosted engine package was released as a beta package, too keen for my own good I tried to get it installed on a dev box. One of the pre-requirements is sanlock 2.8 and sanlock-python 2.8 but EL6 does not have these, Fedora 19 does have sanlock 2.8. I'm not sure if this needs to be reported. P.S. Great work on getting this amazing feature ready before release. Andrew .

[Users] Problems with RHEL 5 x86_64 VMs in oVirt 3.3
by Raul José Cheleguini 17 Sep '13

17 Sep '13

Hello all, Please, I'm performing tests with oVirt 3.3 and it has been working really well, except the fact that the installation of RHEL 5 VMs is not happening, not sure why. Does anybody else is experiencing the same issue? Details: Reproducible steps: 1) Start the VM via 'Run once" option. 2) Insert the boot parameters, for instance: linux text 3) vmlinuz and initrd are loaded without errors. 4) Black screen with a blinking cursor. 5) Anaconda never come up, Kernel is not loaded apparently. The same behavior occurs with the following versions: RHEL 5.9 x86_64 RHEL 5.8 x86_64 RHEL 5.7 x86_64 VM definitions: Operating System: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.x x64 Optimized for: Server If I simple change to a RHEL 5.9 32Bits ISO (Even with the 'Operating System' field defined to work for x64), I am able to carry on with the VM installation and everything goes ok. Fedora 18 and 19 for x84_64 works well, also RHEL 6 builds for x86_64. Packages in use: ovirt-engine-3.3.0-1.fc19.noarch qemu-1.4.2-7.fc19.x86_64 qemu-kvm-1.4.2-7.fc19.x86_64 libvirt-1.0.5.5-1.fc19.x86_64 Details and data collected: VM name: tests-rhel5-64bits engine.log vdsm.log qemu process arguments libvirt relevant logs Last test timestamp: 2013-Sep-05, 12:09 VM tests-rhel5-64bits started on Host dell-pe2950-1 Should I file a bug? Any help will be really appreciated. Thanks, Raul.

Re: [Users] Bridge for logical network
by Juan Pablo Lorier 17 Sep '13

17 Sep '13

Hi Moti, When you say As long as the bridge is defined on engine side and reported by VDSM you should be able to assign vms to it. What do you mean? I can't see bridge interfaces in the engine, it just shows the fisical nics. Is there a way to force engine to see the bridge? If I hide one nic, then if the visible one fails, I loose connectivity even if the other nic in the bridge is active? If I add both nics to the bridge (the hidden and the visible) and then by the engine assign the LN to the visible nic, is it going to work? I'm used to assign the ip address to the bridgen, no to one of the interfases member as this shouldn't work, and I guess that the engine will set the ip to the nic not to the bridge as it's what it sees. Sorry for so many questions, but I want to be sure of what I'm doing before testing it as I have to work on the production platform.

by Mike Burns 17 Sep '13

17 Sep '13

Many of the people who contribute on a weekly basis to the weekly meeting have indicated that they're unavailable the next 2 weeks due to Holidays. Are there any objections to moving the Weekly meeting to Tuesday at 9AM EDT (13:00 UTC) for the next 2 weeks? If I don't get any objections, I'll reschedule the meeting on Friday. Thanks Mike

Please note the host IWFVM00772.hpswlabs.adapps.hp.com is ovirt managed host. It is not the client. My problem here is i can't change the hypervisor hosts as there are too many of them and it is configured by vdsm . What certs should i take from host so that i can use it in the client so that i can connect to multiple hosts from the client using virsh or virt-manager . I need tls as remote protocol as i'm trying to automate commands. Regards, Navin

[Users] oVirt 3.3 -- Failed to run VM: internal error unexpected address type for ide disk
by Jason Brooks 17 Sep '13

17 Sep '13

I'm experiencing an issue today on my oVirt 3.3 test setup -- it's an AIO engine+host setup, with a second node on a separate machine. Both machines are running F19, both have all current F19 updates and all current ovirt- beta repo updates. This is on a GlusterFS domain, hosted from a volume on the AIO machine. Also, I have the neutron external network provider configured, but these VMs aren't using one of these networks. selinux permissive on both machines, firewall down on both as well (firewall rules for gluster don't appear to be set by the engine) 1. Create a new VM w/ virtio disk 2. VM runs normally 3. Power down VM 4. VM won't start, w/ error msg: internal error unexpected address type for ide disk 5. Changing disk to IDE, removing and re-adding, VM still won't start 6. If created w/ IDE disk from the beginning, VM runs and restarts as expected. Is anyone else experiencing something like this? It appears to render the Gluster FS domain type totally unusable. I wasn't having this problem last week...
