[Users] xfs options for gluster storage
by Alexandr 17 Jan '14

17 Jan '14

Hi! I want to build small gluster storage with two nodes, 2x3Tb HDD in md-mirror on each. What parameters should I use in mkfs.xfs for optimal perfomance with ovirt? Should I use "-s size=4k" or something else?

[Users] Migration from NFS backed VM to iSCSI LUN without exporting them on the Ovirt Export Share
by squadra 17 Jan '14

17 Jan '14

Hello folks, since the nfs discussion remembered me that i got some vm left to migrate... here some kind of special question. i am open for non-bestpractice hacky solutions, too Situation is: - 2 Ovirt Cluster - Same DC - one NFS backed, one iSCSI backed - NFS Share and iSCSI Share are exported from the same phys. Machine - Bot DC use the same filer, just different Luns / Protocolls so, i thought about something simple like just move vm folder from a to b and do a little bit database voodoo? anyone did something like this yet? or is storage live migration already working for this? the docs didnt tell me very much about this.

[Users] New user to oVirt, and I haz a sad so far...
by Will Dennis (Live.com) 17 Jan '14

17 Jan '14

Hi all, ready for a story? (well, more of a rant, but hopefully it will be a good UX tale, and may even be entertaining.) Had one of the groups come to me at work this week and request a OpenStack setup. When I sat down and discussed their needs, it turns out that they really only need a multi-hypervisor setup where they can spin up VMs for their research projects. The VMs should be fairly long-lived, and will have persistent storage. Their other request is that the storage should be local on the hypervisor nodes (they plan to use Intel servers with 8-10 2TB drives for VM storage on each node.) They desire this in order to keep the VM I/O local - they do not have a SAN of any sort anyhow, and they do not care about live migration, etc. In any case, knowing that they did not want to afford a VMware setup (which is what I'm used to using), I proposed using oVirt to fill their needs, having heard and read up on it a bit (It's "open-source VMware", right?) even though I had not used it before (I have however made single-node KVM hypervisors for their group before, utilizing Open vSwitch, libvirt, virt-manager etc., so I'm not completely ignorant of KVM/libvirt etc.) In any case, I took one of their older servers which was already running CentOS 6.5, installed the requisite packages on it, and in short order had an engine server up and running (oVirt 3.3.2). That seems to have been the easy part :-/ Now came the installation of a hypervisor node. I downloaded and burned an ISO of the latest oVirt node installer (ovirt-node-iso-3.0.3-1.1.vdsm.fc19.iso) and tried to install it on one of their target Intel servers. On the 1st try I got to the end of the setup TUI, invoked the Install link, and was promptly thrown an error (sorry, but forgot what it was, something like "press X for a command prompt, or Reboot".) No problem, I rebooted, selected booting off the CD again, waited until the TUI came up, and when I tried to move past the first screen, it threw me out to a login prompt. OK, enough of that (the server takes a long time to reboot, and then boot off the CD) - I then thought I would try it on a VMware Workstation VM (yes, I get the irony, but VMware wkstn can handle nested virt, so it's a great testbed platform for OpenStack, etc.) because that would install a heck of a lot faster. That went a lot better - got the oVirt node 3.0.3 installed on the first try. More pain was soon to follow, however. I logged in and started configuring the node. The TUI was easy enough - much like an ESXi node ;) I set the NIC to IPv4 static, entered in the correct IP info, registered a DNS name for the IP I had assigned, and then tested pinging the engine, all was good. I then moved on to the section where you define the engine. I entered in the FQDN of the engine, verified the key fingerprint, and clicked the "Save and Register" link at the bottom. That seemed to work, so I completed the rest of the TUI, and then looked at the oVirt engine web UI. There was my new node, ready for authorization. I clicked the link to authorize it, and after a while, the UI came back with "Install Failed" status. Hmmm. So I went back to the node's TUI, and now some of the screens said that the IP addr was unconfigured? I went then to the Network screen, and sure enough, the NIC at the bottom showed "Unconfigured". WTF? So I went and entered in the correct info back in the IPv4 section, and then arrowed down to the Save link and clicked it - and the next screen said something like "No info needing changes, nothing to do." Whaaaa? Went back to the network setup screen, NIC still showing "Unconfigured" even though the IPv4 info still was there. I did a ping test at this point from the Ping link on the network setup page, and what do you know - I could still ping IP's (the engine, the default gw, etc.) But as I moved around the TUI, other screens still said that the network was unconfigured. Went back to the Web UI of the engine, put the host in Maint, then tried to Activate it, still no go - Install Failed. Even though I had configured the node to allow remote access and set a password, and also verified via nmap that TCP port 22 on the node was indeed listening, when I tried to SSH into the node as admin, I immediately got a "connection closed" message, so that failed as well. Went back to the node's network setup page, set the IPv4 to "Disabled", saved it, then went back and set it back to "Static" then re-entered the IPv4 info. Clicked the Save link, it went thru the setup again, came back with a success, verified with ping etc. that networking was working on the node. The engine web UI still said that it could not connect to the node however. So I put the node in Maint, and then removed it. I went back to the node, went to the Engine setup page, and re-did the screen to define the engine on the node. I notice that after I did this, however, that the node screens went back to saying that the network was unconfigured. Grrrrrr. But the node was back in the engine's Web UI, however no joy this time either - "Install failed" again. Well, the hell with this, said I - I removed the node again from the engine, and went and installed Fedora 19 minimal install on the VM, so I could use the directions found in http://www.ovirt.org/Quick_Start_Guide#Install_Fedora_Host and give that a try. (At least I can see what's going on with the node's OS using F19.) Installing F19 on the VM was a breeze, then logged in as root and did the "yum localinstall http://ovirt.org/releases/ovirt-release-fedora.noarch.rpm" which ran fine. I then stopped firewalld, and set it not to run at boot (which is what we typically do anyhow for internal research servers.) Then went over to the engine UI, and manually added the node. Oh happy day - the node seemed to install OK - it had the status of "Installing" for quite some time, and I looked at the processes on the F19 node, and could see python installer programs running via an SSH session from the engine. HOWEVER, at the end of the process, the Web UI reported a status of "Non Responsive", even though the F19 node looks OK (it had sanlock, supervdsmServer, vdsm processes running.) So thinking that it may take an after-install reboot, I did that, waited until the node came back up again, then clicked in the engine web UI and executed the "Confirm 'Host has been rebooted'" command, but still no good - the node remains in "Non Responsive" status. So I have no idea on how to proceed now, and what methods I can use to try and debug the connectivity problem between the engine and node. And there's many miles to go in setting up the whole environment. Maaaaaybe OpenStack would be easier ;-P No, I will press on and try to get this thing working... It seems it works for others, and looks like the right fit for the job. Just wish it was easier to get up and running. Oh yes, I tried reading the docs - go to http://www.ovirt.org/Quick_Start_Guide#Install_Hosts and click on the link for "see the oVirt Node deployment documentation." Not too helpful... (Bug report has been opened.) Thanks for reading, and any clues on getting a node up and running gratefully accepted... - Will

[Users] Create VLAN for WAN traffic
by Neil Schulz 17 Jan '14

17 Jan '14

I'm not very knowledgeable in VLANs. Sorry for the lack of knowledge in advance. Is it possible to create a VLAN for WAN traffic, to separate it from the internal network? I'd imagine so. It was a automated and simple process when use XenServer. I'm trying to switch from Xen to oVirt and when trying to recreate this, I'm unable to ping out from the VM. This leads me to believe the VLAN was created incorrectly. I created ifcfg-br1 on the host and through the engine, created the logical network with VLAN tagging 20. Does the interface, ifcfg-br1, require a public IP, any IP address, no ip address? (Sorry, never created a VLAN for WAN traffic as it was automated in XenServer) From there I have the VM installed and configured with a public IP address, however, only get Destination Host Unreachable, meaning it has no route out. I am banging my head on the desk trying to figure this out. Can anyone give me any assistance? Thank you, Neil

[Users] Ovirt DR setup
by Hans Emmanuel 17 Jan '14

17 Jan '14

Hi all , I would like to know about the possibility of setup Disaster Recovery Site (DR) for an Ovirt cluster . i.e if site 1 goes down I need to trigger the site 2 to come in to action with the minimal down time . I am open to use NFS shared storage or local storage for data storage domain . I know we need to replicate the storage domain and Ovirt confs and DB across the sites , but couldn't find any doc for the same , isn't that possible with Ovirt ? *Hans Emmanuel* *NOthing to FEAR but something to FEEL......*

[Users] Ovirt in the cloud
by Rob Abshear 17 Jan '14

Is it possible to use leased dedicated servers as ovirt nodes? In my mind it seems likely, but input from the community would be appreciated. I'm envisioning a controller node running on a dedicated server leased from a provider and multiple compute nodes running on several different providers spread out over the net. I don't require any migration capability for the purposes of this. I manage a large farm of servers, and if this works like I think it would, I believe it would speed up deployment of new servers and also provide a better central management platform. If this is possible, what would be the requirements, pitfalls, etc.? Thanks in advance. -- *NADA Convention & Expo*: January 24-27, 2014 - New Orleans, LA - Booth 5001 <http://www.bbb.org/south-east-florida/business-reviews/advertising-agencies…><http://www.bbb.org/south-east-florida/business-reviews/advertising-agencies…>

Heho, for some reason i currently have two active datacenters in ovirt 3.3 which should be cold migrated to one new datacenter. Is there a simple way to attach an nfs-storage to all datacenters, so it can be used to migrate the virtual machines? I was sadly unable to find documentation on this issue online...

[Users] What's the correct way to upload a VM ISO image?
by David Li 17 Jan '14

17 Jan '14

Hi, I am a little confused by the quick start guide. It lists a command to upload the ISO image: engine-iso-uploader upload -i local-iso-share [file1] [file2] .... [fileN] My questions are: 1. Do I have to copy the files (ISO images) from somewhere else to the engine machine before using this cmd? If image files are on a different server, what's the right syntax to upload them? 2. Is "local-iso-share" the name of the ISO domain? For example, should I use "ISO_DOMAIN" if I have the following: ISO Storage Domain Name | Datacenter | ISO Domain Status ISO_DOMAIN | DC-CPA3 | active 3. If I don't use engine-iso-uploader command, instead I prefer to uploading the image myself. What is the right directory for me to put my images in? Is it /var/lib/exports/iso on the machine running the ovirt engine? Thanks. David

[Users] Searching for VMs with snapshots
by noc 17 Jan '14

17 Jan '14

Hi All, I would like to see, in the webui, all VMs that have snapshots attached to them but I'm not able to construct a search that will work. For one thing there is no 'Snapshot' category so I think that it will be impossible. The use case is that I would like to have a way to see, in the webui, which VMs are running stateless, accidents happen :-( . Joop

[Users] [QE] oVirt 3.4.0 alpha / beta status
by Sandro Bonazzola 17 Jan '14

17 Jan '14

Hi, oVirt 3.4.0 alpha has been released and is actually on QA. An issue has been found in VDSM so we have updated the packages in alpha repositories for Fedora. We had an issue with nightly build for EL6 packages yesterday so EL6 repository is not yet updated. We'll try to sync it today, I'm sorry for the inconvenient. We'll start composing oVirt 3.4.0 beta on 2014-01-20 14:00 UTC from 3.4 branches. The bug tracker [1] shows the following bugs blocking the release: Whiteboard Bug ID Summary gluster 1038988 Gluster brick sync does not work when host has multiple interfaces integration 1054080 gracefully warn about unsupported upgrade from legacy releases network 1054195 [NetworkLabels] Attaching two labeled networks to a cluster result in failure of the latter There are still 280 bugs [2] targeted to 3.4.0. Excluding node and documentation bugs we still have 237 bugs [3] targeted to 3.4.0. Please review them as soon as possible. Maintainers: - Please remember to rebuild your packages before 2014-01-21 12:00 UTC if you want them to be included in 3.4.0 beta. - Please add the bugs to the tracker if you think that 3.4.0 should not be released without them fixed. - Please provide ETA on blockers bugs - Please update the target to 3.4.1 or any next release for bugs that won't be in 3.4.0: it will ease gathering the blocking bugs for next releases. - Please fill release notes, the page has been created here [4] - Please update http://www.ovirt.org/OVirt_3.4_TestDay before 2014-01-23 For those who want to help testing the bugs, I suggest to add yourself as QA contact for the bug. Please also be prepared for upcoming oVirt 3.4.0 Test Day on 2014-01-23! Thanks to all people already testing 3.4.0 alpha!

[Users] Issues installing hosted-engine with 3.4.0 alpha

Hi, I'm giving the new hosted-engine feature a try with the new 3.4.0 alpha build on centos 6.5 hosted-engine --deply seems to fail at the 'Environment setup" [ ERROR ] Failed to execute stage 'Environment setup': Command '/sbin/service' failed to execute Within the logs I believe it seems to be related to vdsm.

I'm using oVirt 3.3.3 beta1 after upgrade from 3.3.2 on fedora 19 ovirt beta repo It seems bug referred by Vijay (1017289) is still marked as "assigned", but actually it is for rhel 6. Bug referred by Dan (1022961) is marked as "blocked" but I don't see any particular updates since late november. But it is for rhevm, so I think it is for rhel 6... So what is the situation for fedora 19 and oVirt in upcoming 3.3.3? And upcoming fedora 19/20 and 3.4? I ask because I see that in my qemu command line generated by oVirt there is: for virtio (virtio-blk) disk -drive file=/rhev/data-center/mnt/glusterSD/node01.mydomain:gvdata/d0b96d4a-62aa-4e9f-b50e-f7a0cb5be291/images/a5e4f67b-50b5-4740-9990-39deb8812445/53408cb0-bcd4-40de-bc69-89d59b7b5bc2,if=none,id=drive-virtio-disk0,format=raw,serial=a5e4f67b-50b5-4740-9990-39deb8812445,cache=none,werror=stop,rerror=stop,aio=threads for virtio-scsi disk -drive file=/rhev/data-center/mnt/glusterSD/node01.mydomain:gvdata/d0b96d4a-62aa-4e9f-b50e-f7a0cb5be291/images/c1477133-6b06-480d-a233-1dae08daf8b3/c2a82c64-9dee-42bb-acf2-65b8081f2edf,if=none,id=drive-scsi0-0-0-0,format=raw,serial=c1477133-6b06-480d-a233-1dae08daf8b3,cache=none,werror=stop,rerror=stop,aio=threads So it is referred as mount point and not gluster:// way Also, the output of "mount" command on hypervisors shows: node01.mydomain:gvdata on /rhev/data-center/mnt/glusterSD/node01.mydomain:gvdata type fuse.glusterfs (rw,relatime,user_id=0,group_id=0,default_permissions,allow_other,max_read=131072) fusectl on /sys/fs/fuse/connections type fusectl (rw,relatime) and it seems indeed fuse mount, so not using libgfapi... output of "lsof -Pp pid" where pid is the qemu process shows libgfapi....: qemu-syst 2057 qemu mem REG 253,0 99440 541417 /usr/lib64/libgfapi.so.0.0.0 (btw: strange version 0.0.0 for a release.. not so reassuring ;-) # ll /usr/lib64/libgfapi.so.0* lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 17 Jan 7 12:45 /usr/lib64/libgfapi.so.0 -> libgfapi.so.0.0.0 -rwxr-xr-x. 1 root root 99440 Jan 3 13:35 /usr/lib64/libgfapi.so.0.0.0 ) At page http://www.gluster.org/category/qemu/ there is a schema about mount types and benchmarks 1) FUSE mount 2) GlusterFS block driver in QEMU (FUSE bypass) 3) Base (VM image accessed directly from brick) ( qemu-system-x86_64 –enable-kvm –nographic -smp 4 -m 2048 -drive file=/test/F17,if=virtio,cache=none => /test is brick directory ) I have not understood if we are in Base (best performance) or FUSE (worst performance) thanks in advance for clarifications and possible roadmaps...

[Users] Horrid performance during disk I/O
by Blaster 16 Jan '14

16 Jan '14

This probably more appropriate for the qemu users mailing list, but that list doesn’t get much traffic and most posts go unanswered… As I’ve mentioned in the past, I’m migrating my environment from ESXi to oVirt AIO. Under ESXi I was pretty happy with the disk performance, and noticed very little difference from bare metal to HV. Under oVirt/QEMU/KVM, not so much…. Running hdparm on the disk from the HV and from the guest yields the same number, about 180MB/sec (SATA III disks, 7200RPM). The problem is, during disk activity, and it doesn’t matter if it’s Windows 7 guests or Fedora 20 (both using virtio-scsi) the qemu-system-x86 process starts consuming 100% of the hypervisor CPU. Hypervisor is a Core i7 950 with 24GB of RAM. There’s 2 Fedora 20 guests and 2 Windows 7 guests. Each configured with 4 GB of guaranteed RAM. Load averages can go up over 40 during sustained disk IO. Performance obviously suffers greatly. I have tried all combinations of having the guests on EXT 4, BTRFS and using EXT 4 and BTRFS inside the guests, as well as direct LUN. Doesn’t make any difference. Disk IO sends qemu-system-x86 to high CPU percentages. This can’t be normal, so I’m wondering what I’ve done wrong. Is there some magic setting I’m missing?

[Users] Management server
by Koen Vanoppen 16 Jan '14

16 Jan '14

Dear All, Our setup at work now is: 1 management server and 7 hyper visors. All the systems have centos 6.4 on it. Now my question is: Because of the fact that all the systems have centos on it, we can't use the reports portal and the dwh-portal. Would it be possible to add a second management server to our already existing setup (fedora 19), without !*breaking*! our existing setup, so this one can provide us with the reports and dwh-portal and can also serve as a "Back-Up" management server. If so, how do we handle this? Kind regards, Koen

[Users] ovirt-engine-reports rpm for CentOS and oVirt 3.3
by Nicolas Ecarnot 16 Jan '14

16 Jan '14

Good morning or whenever, I read what RPM I have to install here http://www.ovirt.org/Ovirt_Reports but I can not find any RPM for CentOS 6. I strongly searched around the web and in the different repo folders, as well as in the mailing list msgs, and it seems the production of RPM for CentOS has been disabled for whatever reason. Is there a private recipe to create them or get them an unofficial way (reports, dwh, jasperreports...) Thank you. -- Nicolas Ecarnot

[Users] oVirt node - network config not persisted
by Federico Alberto Sayd 16 Jan '14

16 Jan '14

Hello: I have been testing some hosts with ovirt-node (3.0.1-1.0.2.el6) and when I reboot the node the network config is not persisted. I have seen that this was commented in this list, some time ago. Was this fixed in 3.0.3-1 release? There is a 3.0.3-1.1 image in http://resources.ovirt.org/releases/3.3/iso/, but is only Fedora Core. No el6/Centos image? Thank you Federico

I tried creating a snapshot and it failed. I attempted to create another snapshot and it failed as well. I shutdown the VM and tried creating a snapshot, which failed as well. I went to the Snapshot tab and seen the failed snapshots show up and have the Status OK. I tried to delete a snapshot but it is now hung as Locked. I cannot do anything with this virtual machine now. I see this throughout the engine.log: INFO [org.ovirt.engine.core.bll.CommandMultiAsyncTasks] (DefaultQuartzScheduler_Worker-84) Task with DB Task ID 752072ed-444b-4e17-b7ff-f5b673b4c4bc and VDSM Task ID 98fa364e-38d7-422b-8126-1321f29908a9 is in state Polling. End action for command 77662498-d73d-48d7-b9c3-21b53e2673ba will proceed when all the entitys tasks are completed. Anyone know a fix for this? Thank you, Neil

Re: [Users] Fwd: Re: Help: Problem uploading the ISO file on engine
by David Li 15 Jan '14

The ovirt-iso-uploader log only has one line: 2014-01-13 19:08:05::INFO::engine-iso-uploader::1067::root:: Start uploading CentOS-6.4-x86_64-netinstall.iso This is version 3.3.2-1.el6 My immediate question is how I can kill the upload process without rebooting the engine box? So I can try to reproduce the problem again. It's probably in a "sleep but not interrupt" state. None of the usual kill -9 commands worked. My NFS ISO domain has also been put in the "inactive" state most likely due to this problem. Thanks.

[Users] Showing stacktrace info in GUI error dialog
by Einav Cohen 15 Jan '14

15 Jan '14

Hi, this is about patch [1] - showing server-side-exception stacktrace info in GUI error dialog. a couple of notes about this patch: (1) I find it a little strange that server-side exceptions are not logged in the server side and are / will be displayed only on the client-side - this needs to be fixed first. (2) once everything is logged on the server side, we can debate whether it makes sense to put the full exception stack-trace *also* in the GUI error pop-up. I think that it is not completely necessary (since if there is a server side exception, the user is likely to go to the server side log anyway to get the full picture / context), but if it is (and I'd like to hear your opinion about that) - we shouldn't show the entire exception in the dialog once the dialog is displayed - that's too much information to absorb. We should show whatever we are showing today, and also something like a "More Details" collapsible section (collapsed by default) that, when expanded, displays the full exception details. comments are welcome. ---- Thanks, Einav [1] http://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/c/23096/

[Users] [ANN] new fedora20 nightlies rpms for oVirt are available for download
by Eyal Edri 15 Jan '14

15 Jan '14

fyi, oVirt infra has added support for nighlies rpms for various oVirt projects for fedora 20. the following has be done: - All ovirt projects were added f20 nightlies on jenkins.ovirt.org. (replaced f18, which is NOT built nightly anymore). - One jenkins f19 slave (vm02) was upgraded to f20, and we also have a bare metal host running f20 as well. - Nightlies rpms can be downloaded on the repos [1] - Nightlies publish & cleanup scripts were updated on the resources.ovirt.org to support f20. I didn't update any ovirt-node* job, since i'm not familiar with them. if you would like to build f20 builds, just add the 'fedora20' label to the relevant jobs. Eyal.

Hi everyone, Over the next few weeks, we are running a number of one-day events with some colleagues around the open source datacenter and cloud. I would *love* to have some user case studies to present at these events - please let me know if you are local, and would be willing to talk about how you use oVirt. Jan 29: London, UK: London Cloud Summit: http://lanyrd.com/2014/lcs2014/ Feb 5: Ghent, BE: Infrastructure.Next: http://community.redhat.com/blog/2013/12/announcing-infrastructure-next/ There are also a number of conferences coming up at which I would love to have oVirt related content - please consider putting in a proposal for one of these (let me know if you do): * DevNation 2014: San Francisco, April 13-16: http://www.devnation.org/#cfp (Call for papers closes tomorrow!) - I would love to see a presentation on developing an oVirt UI plug-in, or on orchestration & deployment on top of oVirt. * OSCON 2014: Portland, OR, July 20-24: http://www.oscon.com/oscon2014 The CfP closes in 2 weeks, and again, I would love to see a user case study showing oVirt in a real-world usage as a credible open source virt management solution. For both of these, I should be able to help cover costs for travel (not trans-atlantic) - please, again, let me know if you're interested. Thanks!

Heho, we are using an intel modular server (IMS) as virtualization center in our university chair. These systems should now be migrated to ovirt. However, apparently fencing/power management via /usr/sbin/fence_intelmodular can not be configured in ovirt 3.3. Does anyone have an idea how to solve this issue? Is there maybe a simple way to add custom fence agents? With best Regards, Tobias

[Users] Migration Failed
by Neil 14 Jan '14

14 Jan '14

Hi guys, I've tried to migrate a VM from one host(node03) to another(node01), and it failed to migrate, and the VM(tux) remained on the original host. I've now tried to migrate the same VM again, and it picks up that the previous migration is still in progress and refuses to migrate. I've checked for the KVM process on each of the hosts and the VM is definitely still running on node03 so there doesn't appear to be any chance of the VM trying to run on both hosts (which I've had before which is very scary). These are my versions... and attached are my engine.log and my vdsm.log Centos 6.5 ovirt-iso-uploader-3.3.1-1.el6.noarch ovirt-host-deploy-1.1.2-1.el6.noarch ovirt-release-el6-9-1.noarch ovirt-engine-setup-3.3.1-2.el6.noarch ovirt-engine-3.3.1-2.el6.noarch ovirt-host-deploy-java-1.1.2-1.el6.noarch ovirt-image-uploader-3.3.1-1.el6.noarch ovirt-engine-dbscripts-3.3.1-2.el6.noarch ovirt-engine-cli-3.3.0.6-1.el6.noarch ovirt-engine-websocket-proxy-3.3.1-2.el6.noarch ovirt-engine-userportal-3.3.1-2.el6.noarch ovirt-log-collector-3.3.1-1.el6.noarch ovirt-engine-tools-3.3.1-2.el6.noarch ovirt-engine-lib-3.3.1-2.el6.noarch ovirt-engine-webadmin-portal-3.3.1-2.el6.noarch ovirt-engine-backend-3.3.1-2.el6.noarch ovirt-engine-sdk-python-3.3.0.8-1.el6.noarch ovirt-engine-restapi-3.3.1-2.el6.noarch vdsm-python-4.13.0-11.el6.x86_64 vdsm-cli-4.13.0-11.el6.noarch vdsm-xmlrpc-4.13.0-11.el6.noarch vdsm-4.13.0-11.el6.x86_64 vdsm-python-cpopen-4.13.0-11.el6.x86_64 I've had a few issues with this particular installation in the past, as it's from a very old pre release of ovirt, then upgrading to the dreyou repo, then finally moving to the official Centos ovirt repo.

Hey everyone, So far I am impressed with the product and am enjoying it thoroughly. I am looking to put in new certs for noVNC, so I or clients do not have to repeatedly accept the cert at https://<FQDN>:6100 Is there a way, or documentation? I was unable to find any and the default certs install on the system, I am unfamiliar with. Is there an easy way of updating/replacing them for a trusted connection? Thank you, Neil
