Got this error on a Fedora 16 box : virt-v2v: Installation failed because the following files referenced in the configuration file are required, but missing: /usr/share/virtio-win/drivers/i386/Win2008 What is this? Fedora does not have a virtio-win package but has an .iso. Does libguestfs take care of this need? Do we just need to put the .iso somewhere to meet this need? -- Dominic Kaiser Greater Boston Vineyard Director of Operations cell: 617-230-1412 fax: 617-252-0238 email: dominic(a)bostonvineyard.org

Re: [Users] Can anyone help? Spice not connecting - I have spice-xpi installed.
by Morgan Cox 02 Mar '12

02 Mar '12

Hi I have decided to bite the bullet and re-install everything,.... Can someone check and see if this idea seems like it will work... I will have 3 servers - 1. Ovirt engine (Lan address + external address) : name - frontend.server.com - 2. Storage server - debian NFS server (LAN address only) : name - storage1.server.com - 3. Ovirt node (from the node .iso) - I will set up Ovirt on an enternal; IP: name - node1.server.com In order to get the best speed (i.e by using LAN address's) I shall add the 2nd LAN interface on the node as a LAN address - (So it can comminicate with the storage node) .. Should I add the LAN address's of the ovirt node and storage on the frontend to /etc/hosts (i.e not the external IP - 10.0.0.x) ? Or will cause issues (like before) - I want it to send as much traffic via the LAN rather than external network (for speed) (also shall I add the frontend / storage to /etc/hosts on the node ?) Any ideas will be welcomed.

[Users] Can anyone help? Spice not connecting - I have spice-xpi installed.
by Morgan Cox 02 Mar '12

02 Mar '12

Hi I have been trying for hours to install a vm in Ovirt and having no joy., Spice is not working - I just get a black popup window I am connecting from a Fedora16 desktop - I have spice-XPI installed. can see 'press Shift+f12' to release mouse.... etc. My setup :- I have a 3 server setup - 1. Ovirt engine (Lan address + external address) - 2. Storage node - NFS server (LAN address and external address) - 3. Ovirt node (from the node .iso) - only LAN address The Engine server is a default FC16 install. the node is from the ovirt node .iso. I don't think its firewall related - I tried disabling firewalls on all servers. Once I try spice the icon is greyed out afterwards. In IRC it was suggested to run Bind from server 1 - I have done that and added DNS entrys in the LAN range for all 3 servers - all 3 servers are using bind from server1 as their only nameserver in resolv.conf I am trying to connect from my Fedora16 Desktop When I try to connect I see in /var/log/messages Mar 1 19:34:43 fedora16 spice: Warning: failed to connect: Connection timed out (110) Any ideas how to investigate this further. I am dying to test out a VM but with no spice I am presently unable to... Any ideas will be welcomed - i'm 1/2 thinking about re-installing with all external ips (but that will make transfer speeds slower..)

[Users] Can someone help me with moving a windows server 2008 to ovirt?
by Dominic Kaiser 01 Mar '12

01 Mar '12

So I have been looking at how to move windows 2008 and R2 servers from vmware esxi4 over to ovirt. I moved my Linux servers over with clonezilla. But windows needs a sysprep and generalize not to mention uninstalling vmtools and vmware drivers. I have done this. I then use clonezilla to put the image onto a thinprovisioned drive on ovirt. It starts to boot then blue screen of death. Am I missing something other than syspreping the windows machine and uninstalling the vmware drivers? Also is there a better way? P.S. Also I have ovirt up in a production envirenment and is running rock solid for the past month great job guys!

[Users] spice client support for windows
by sawan k r 01 Mar '12

01 Mar '12

Hi, I was reading on deploying spice on ovirt here - http://www.ovirt.org/wiki/Testing/Spice There is specific line there that says - A Linux client machine with spice client and spice xpi installed (packages spice-client and spice-xpi in Fedora/RHEL). It's not possible to connect to a guest from Windows client through Ovirt yet. Is above still valid? Can I use spice client on windows and connect to guest OS on KVM-ovirt? Thanks, Sawan

[Users] Q on ovirt datacentre and host storage types
by Deepak C Shetty 01 Mar '12

01 Mar '12

Hi, got few basic Qs in my mind. Appreciate a response. 1) Why is it that the data domains must be of the same type as that of datacentre ? What is the goal behind having this constraint ? It seems useful to have a datacentre w/o having any storage restrictions.. i should be able to add hosts w/o worrying abt the storage types... why is it not so... looking to understand the reason behind this design decision. 2) If i have a set of host systems all connected to shared FC storage, is there a way for me to configure LUNs exclusively for each host, meaning have ability to control what LUN each hosts sees ? Can this be done using oVirt today ? My understanding is that this cannot be done via ovirt, zoning of LUNs to host has to be done separately and not via ovirt, is that correct ? 3) If i have to create and run 1000 VMs (say), how can i automate that using ovirt, what is the best way to do that ? thanx, deepak

[Users] Change virtual disk interface
by wdh＠dds.nl 01 Mar '12

01 Mar '12

I have serveral "old" KVM virtual images, all off them using virtio for networking and disks. Trying to import these into my EXPORT datastore ends up with an error: virt-v2v -i libvirt -o rhev -os 10.0.0.3:/nfs/export -n br0 PXE5-test PXE5.img: 100% [=====================================================] virt-v2v: WARNING: Unable to convert this guest operating system. Its storage will be transfered and a domain created for it, but it may not operate correctly without manual reconfiguration. The domain will present all storage devices as ide, all network interfaces as rtl8139 and the host as x86_64. virt-v2v: PXE5-test configured without virtio drivers. How can I avoid these errors? How can I fix this error. After restoring the image, I am able to change the network interface from rtl8139 to Virtio. However; I cannot change the disk. In the admin console going to Virtual Machines --> <virtual machine> --> Virtual Disks --> <disk> --> Edit gives a menu, but the only option I can change is "is bootable". Options like "Interface" are grey and cannot be modified.

[Users] Trying to understand oVirt terminology.
by Sharad Mishra 29 Feb '12

29 Feb '12

While reading oVirt Wiki and other related docs, I came across multiple terms that meant the same thing (at least to me). Please take a look and let me know where I am wrong. 1) Difference between RHEV and oVirt node - oVirt node has VDSM and libvirt whereas RHEV only has libvirt. 2) 'RHEV-M server' is same as 'oVirt Engine Mgmt Server' is same as 'oVirt Engine'. 3) 'oVirt API' is same as 'REST API' is same as 'RHEV-M API' which is same as 'oVirt Engine API'. 4) 'Host Agent' is same as VDSM 5) 'oVirt Node API' is same as VDSM API. Question ) Guest Agent is running on VM. How does it get installed there? Regards, Sharad Mishra

[Users] some ovirt questions
by hai wu 29 Feb '12

29 Feb '12

1. For ovirt, and future rhev, what's the recommended way going forward: ovirt node vs vsdm? 2. For ovirt, and future rhev, libvirt would be supported i think, what's the recommended way in terms of API going forward? libvirt API or REST API? I am not sure what's the difference between these 2. My understanding is libvirt might only be good for one physical host, and REST API would be good for the whole cluster, is this the case?

[Users] Remove and Add host does not work
by Deepak C Shetty 28 Feb '12

28 Feb '12

Hi, I had a host managed via OE, completely working fine. Was even able to create and run VMs off it. I tried removing the host from the OE (put host into maint. mode and then remove) and when i re-discover the same host, OE just keeps seeing it as Non-responsive. I am able to ssh into the host and see that none of the vdsm processes have been started. I tried doing "Confirm host has been rebooted" on the OE, did not help. I tried putting host into maint. mode and re-activating the host, just doesn't help I waited for ~45 mins thinking OE might connect to the host, start vdsm and get me the Up status but it failed. Do i need to manually start vdsm in such a scenario on the host ? Are there ways or methods to have OE forcibly start vdsm on the host ? thanx, deepak

Currently we handle standard platforms (ie- not the node), by using the all-in-one rpm which is currently in work. So when you add a host via the REST you may specify not to reboot it, and you should not specify power-management from properties, which will make sure fencing will not occur.

[Users] How to migrate the Ovirt management server/frontend to another machine ? (what files are needed, etc)
by Morgan Cox 28 Feb '12

28 Feb '12

Hi. As we are using Fedora16 as the OS on the frontend I would like to know what files/DB's, etc are needed to migrate the management server/frontend to another machine? I ask as the support life of Fedora is not too long, so for example when FC17 is released I would like to migrate the machine to that - by migrate I mean backup and re-install. Is there any info anywhere showing what files I would need to migrate/backup to a new frontend server? - I assume its going to be a DB and several files - I would just like to know for sure. Ovirt looks really nice btw - thank you to all who made this possible. As a 2nd question - is there an ETA from when RHEL packages are going to be ready? Many regards

[Users] LDAP SimpleAuthentication issue.
by Sharad Mishra 28 Feb '12

28 Feb '12

Hi, I am new to ovirt and LDAP. Looking at adding support for Tivoli Directory Server. Here is a small java/jndi program (not using Spring LDAP) that takes IBM intranet Id and searches the directory to return IBM serial number. ********* Hashtable env = new Hashtable(); env.put("java.naming.factory.initial", "com.sun.jndi.ldap.LdapCtxFactory"); env.put("java.naming.factory.url.pkgs", "com.ibm.jndi"); env.put("java.naming.provider.url", "ldap://<ldap-server>:389"); String dn = null; try{ InitialDirContext dirContext = new InitialDirContext(env); SearchControls constraints = new SearchControls(); String[] attr = new String[] {"uid"}; constraints.setSearchScope(SearchControls.SUBTREE_SCOPE); constraints.setReturningAttributes(attr); NamingEnumeration ne = dirContext.search("ou=<ldpap-server-name>,o=ibm.com", "(mail=" + intranetID + ")", constraints); ************** But when I try to use org.ovirt.engine.core.utils.ipa.SimpleAuthenticationCheck.java, I get a "javax.naming.AuthenticationException: [LDAP: error code 49 - Invalid Credentials]" I am issuing - ldapTemplate.search("", "", contextMapper); Where contextMapper is RHDSUserContextMapper and screenshots of ldapTemplate are attached. There may be issues with the way I have setup filter and baseDN; but that should not give AuthEx. At this time I am looking for ways to get rid of authentication exception. Also, when using simple authentication, why do I need to give password? I can run "ldapsearch -LLL "(mail=<intranetID>)" -h <ldap-server>:389 -x" without password to give me expected results. Thanks Sharad Mishra IBM

Here is a "ls -l" of that last directory: # ls -l total 8 drwxr-xr-x. 2 4294967294 4294967294 4096 Feb 23 16:22 dom_md drwxr-xr-x. 3 4294967294 4294967294 4096 Feb 27 16:22 images And then the owner and group of everything below 'images' is bad, too. Can some help me determine what happened? And how to fix it?

Sorry for the new thread but I just joined the list. The following excerpt from Nathan Stratton's 389DS log shows the same thing that I've been seeing when trying to use IPA. It appears that the directory server type is being misidentified as active directory hence the search on samaccounttype and userprincipalname. [23/Feb/2012:18:33:34 +0000] conn=50 op=3 SRCH base="dc=blinkmind,dc=net" scope=2 filter="(&(samaccounttype=805306368)(userprincipalname=nathan at BLINKMIND.NET <http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users>))" attrs="nsUniqueId ipaUniqueID objectguid objectClass javaSerializedData javaClassName javaFactory javaCodebase javaReferenceAddress javaClassNames javaremotelocation"
