Cannot retrieve answer file from 1st HE host when setting up 2nd host
by Will Dennis 21 Dec '15

21 Dec '15

Doing a “hosted-engine —setup” on my 2nd oVirt host, and am getting the following error: --== SYSTEM CONFIGURATION ==-- [WARNING] A configuration file must be supplied to deploy Hosted Engine on an additional host. The answer file may be fetched from the first host using scp. If you do not want to download it automatically you can abort the setup answering no to the following question. Do you want to scp the answer file from the first host? (Yes, No)[Yes]: Please provide the FQDN or IP of the first host: 249.26.200.91 Enter 'root' user password for host 249.26.200.91: [ ERROR ] Failed to execute stage 'Environment customization': [Errno 2] No such file [ INFO ] Stage: Clean up [ INFO ] Generating answer file '/var/lib/ovirt-hosted-engine-setup/answers/answers-20151218205656.conf' [ INFO ] Stage: Pre-termination [ INFO ] Stage: Termination The problem may be slowness of the SSH connection to the 1st host; ever since I did the hosted engine setup on the 1st host and it created the ‘ovirtmgmt’ bridge et al, it now for some reason takes a long time (~50 sec’s) to SSH into the host… Example: (key exchange was first done from 2nd host to first host) [root@ovirt-node-02 ~]# time ssh root@ovirt-node-01 uptime 21:37:33 up 1 day, 10:43, 0 users, load average: 0.14, 0.15, 0.14 real 0m50.185s user 0m0.048s sys 0m0.006s So maybe because of that reason, the setup SCP session is timing out?? How can I fix this?

Re: [ovirt-users] Problem with hosted engine setup - vsdmd does not start (RESOLVED)
by Will Dennis 21 Dec '15

21 Dec '15

The vdsmd startup failing problem is now resolved :) The root cause was that the /etc/sudoers file (that we maintain a customized version of which thru Ansible) was missing the "#includedir /etc/sudoers.d" stanza, which caused a sudo problem with the vdsmd startup, since the sudoers include file "50-vdsm" wasn't being parsed. In going back and reviewing the thread, this was the first post that pointed out the real problem... -----Original Message----- From: Fabian Deutsch [mailto:fdeutsch at redhat.com] Sent: Tuesday, December 01, 2015 12:58 AM To: Will Dennis Cc: Simone Tiraboschi; users Subject: Re: [ovirt-users] Problem with hosted engine setup - vsdmd does not start On Tue, Dec 1, 2015 at 4:52 AM, Will Dennis <wdennis at nec-labs.com> wrote: > Any clues out of the strace of vdsm? read(9, "sudo: a password is required\n", 4096) = 29 Could it be that sudo is not configured to operate passwordless?

Verify sudoer rules configuration” message that ultimately led to the solution :( However, not sure if it's possible to do so, but could /usr/share/vdsm/vdsm be made to emit a error to STDERR if it cannot run correctly? That's the only thing I could think of that may have helped me to resolve this earlier with what I did do... Thanks for everyone's kind assistance, this really is a great community! :) -Will

Import KVM/libvirt VMs to oVirt
by ovirt＠timmi.org 20 Dec '15

20 Dec '15

Hi list, finally I managed to install oVirt on my new server and so far it is really great. The next step on my side it to migrate VMs from another server (KVM/libvirtd/virt-manager) to oVirt. I was trying to find something in the documentation but so far no luck. Google was pointing me to tow options: - virt-v2v - import-to-ovirt.pl (script from Richard WM Jones) Currently I'm trying to migrate a Win7 VM (with VirtIO) with import_to_ovirt bzt I receive the following error message: ./import-to-ovirt.pl: no operating system was found on the disk I'm executing the following command: ./import-to-ovirt.pl /path-to-image-file/disk.img hostname:/export-domain Is anyone able to support me here? As both systems are running KVM there should be a quite easy way to migrate the VMs or not? Best regards Christoph

Frustration and Contradictory Guidance?
by Eriks Goodwin 19 Dec '15

------=_Part_57222_936389252.1450471072444 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Hi all, I have been working on building a new oVirt 3.6 deployment for more than two weeks now and a multitude of things are frustrating my attempts... Would someone please point me to the "right" HOWTO article for deploying a production-grade oVirt 3.6.x system with HA hosted engine? I spent almost two weeks just trying to get the networking straight--only to have VDSM overwrite all my hard work and totally break my networking (I was using a bonded set of NICs with bridges and VLANs for ovirt-management, ovirt-storage, and local-lan.). Once I abandoned VLANs and installed a third physical NIC, I was able to install the first node and the hosted engine-- but after I got things "working" now I receive constantly cycling email messages for ovirt-hosted-engine state transition: ReinitializeFSM-EngineStarting, EngineStarting-EngineUp, and StartState-ReinitializeFSM When I try to follow the instructions to add engines for HA, the system keep faulting that it is unable to find the answer file it needs on node 2. And now that I finally figured out that I needed to add "another" storage domain for the datacenter to initialize, the addition of new hosted-engine deployments is blocked by the presence of the attached storage domain. So, all of that said.... is there a HOWTO written specifically for CentOS 7 that does not want me to kill Network Manager and switch from FirewallD back to iptables--and does not assume I want to use glusterfs? I have two sets of HP Proliant servers I want to use for this: 4 DL380 G6s and 4 DL380G5s, plus one G5 which is my initial NFS3 share For such an AWESOME project, I find it really disappointing that the documentation is so poor/outdated. :-( Thanks, Eriks ------=_Part_57222_936389252.1450471072444 Content-Type: text/html; charset=utf-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <html><body><div style=3D"font-family: tahoma,new york,times,serif; font-si= ze: 10pt; color: #000000"><div>Hi all,<br data-mce-bogus=3D"1"></div><div><= br data-mce-bogus=3D"1"></div><div>I have been working on building a new oV= irt 3.6 deployment for more than two weeks now and a multitude of things ar= e frustrating my attempts...  Would someone please point me to the "ri= ght" HOWTO article for deploying a production-grade oVirt 3.6.x system with= HA hosted engine?<br></div><div><br data-mce-bogus=3D"1"></div><div>I spen= t almost two weeks just trying to get the networking straight--only to have= VDSM overwrite all my hard work and totally break my networking (I was usi= ng a bonded set of NICs with bridges and VLANs for ovirt-management, ovirt-= storage, and local-lan.).<br data-mce-bogus=3D"1"></div><div><br data-mce-b= ogus=3D"1"></div><div>Once I abandoned VLANs and installed a third physical= NIC, I was able to install the first node and the hosted engine-- but afte= r I got things "working" now I receive constantly cycling email messages fo= r ovirt-hosted-engine state transition: ReinitializeFSM-EngineStarting, Eng= ineStarting-EngineUp, and StartState-ReinitializeFSM<br data-mce-bogus=3D"1= "></div><div><br data-mce-bogus=3D"1"></div><div>When I try to follow the i= nstructions to add engines for HA, the system keep faulting that it is unab= le to find the answer file it needs on node 2.<br data-mce-bogus=3D"1"></di= v><div><br data-mce-bogus=3D"1"></div><div>And now that I finally figured o= ut that I needed to add "another" storage domain for the datacenter to init= ialize, the addition of new hosted-engine deployments is blocked by the pre= sence of the attached storage domain.<br data-mce-bogus=3D"1"></div><div><b= r data-mce-bogus=3D"1"></div><div>So, all of that said....  is there a= HOWTO written specifically for CentOS 7 that does not want me to kill Netw= ork Manager and switch from FirewallD back to iptables--and does not assume= I want to use glusterfs?<br data-mce-bogus=3D"1"></div><div><br data-mce-b= ogus=3D"1"></div><div>I have two sets of HP Proliant servers I want to use = for this:  4 DL380 G6s and 4 DL380G5s, plus one G5 which is my initial= NFS3 share<br data-mce-bogus=3D"1"></div><div><br data-mce-bogus=3D"1"></d= iv><div>For such an AWESOME project, I find it really disappointing that th= e documentation is so poor/outdated.  :-(<br data-mce-bogus=3D"1"></di= v><div><br data-mce-bogus=3D"1"></div><div>Thanks,<br data-mce-bogus=3D"1">= </div><div>Eriks<br data-mce-bogus=3D"1"></div><div><br data-mce-bogus=3D"1= "></div></div></body></html> ------=_Part_57222_936389252.1450471072444--

ovirt reports an Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2667 v3 @ 3.20GHz as a Intel SandyBridge Family?
by gflwqs gflwqs 18 Dec '15

18 Dec '15

Hi, I have registered a new DELL R730 machine in ovirt 3.5.6 this server type has a Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2667 v3 @ 3.20GHz. When i try to add a the new host to a cluster with a haswell architecure i get an error: "Host xxx moved to Non-Operational state as host does not meet the cluster's minimum CPU level. Missing CPU features : model_Haswell" When i look at the hardware tab on the host it says: CPU Model: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2667 v3 @ 3.20GHz and CPU Type: Intel SandyBridge Family This is not a SandyBridge Family processor? When i change the cluster to be a SandyBridge Family cluster the host can be activated. What are my options? - Is it a bug i can get a fix for? (I can't upgrade to 3.6) - Can i force it to report correctly? - What am i loosing in terms of functionality/performance if ovirt thinks its a SandyBridge processor? Thanks! /Christian
