Hi, This morning, when logging on the webadmin, the left panel featuring the tree is empty, and I can't recover it by any manner. I restarted the engine, then the vm, but nothing bring it back up. Thanks for your help. -- Nathanaël Blanchet Supervision réseau Pôle Infrastrutures Informatiques 227 avenue Professeur-Jean-Louis-Viala 34193 MONTPELLIER CEDEX 5 Tél. 33 (0)4 67 54 84 55 Fax 33 (0)4 67 54 84 14 blanchet(a)abes.fr

Cinder docker installation failure
by Bond, Darryl 14 Dec '15

14 Dec '15

Has anyone had any success installing the docker Cinder interface for oVirt3.6 on Centos7.1? Using the current Engine installation ends up with a non-functioning cinder a83ce47cef7e kollaglue/centos-rdo-cinder:kilo "/start.sh" 4 days ago Restarting (127) 11 minutes ago ? The Kolla project changed the way it distributed it's docker instances to use Ansible to configure the image. oVirt has yet to implement a way of using the Ansible configuration and recommends using the Kolla documentation. I have been beating my head against the kolla 'so called' quick start guide https://github.com/openstack/kolla/blob/master/doc/quickstart.rst I haven't followed the guide to the letter, eg I want to use the Centos docker package which does seem to be the correct version, rather than build the very latest Docker as recommended. The error seems to indicate that the client has moved past the server version recommended. failed: [localhost] => {"changed": false, "failed": true} msg: Docker API Error: client is newer than server (client API version: 1.21, server API version: 1.20) FATAL: all hosts have already failed -- aborting I can't work out whether the build just broken or I have missed something. It's not obvious from the documentation exactly what I must do to get a usable image to test Ceph on oVirt. I think I need to just configure the container but it seems I have build a complete Openstack Kolla implementation from source and load it into my own docker registry and then configure it????

no guest info shown and timezone warning
by Paul Groeneweg | Pazion 14 Dec '15

14 Dec '15

We have upgraded to oVirt 3.6, all went without any trouble and integration with satellite looks very nice! I also see a guest info tab, but this holds no info ( timezone unknown ) and the virtual machines give a timezone mismatch warning. I do have the ovirt-guest-agent installed and running.

noVNC and spiceHTML5 keyboard layout
by Nathanaël Blanchet 14 Dec '15

14 Dec '15

Hi all, With 3.6 and SPICE+VNC option, display continue to work, but the keybord layout is only qwerty with novnc or spiceHTML5. With the native console, the keyboard layout is the same as expected (fr) in the edit tab. Is it a known bug? it seems that the desired layout with spiceHTML5 has never worked before, but with noVNC it was good, so it may be a regression. Thanks for your help. -- Nathanaël Blanchet Supervision réseau Pôle Infrastrutures Informatiques 227 avenue Professeur-Jean-Louis-Viala 34193 MONTPELLIER CEDEX 5 Tél. 33 (0)4 67 54 84 55 Fax 33 (0)4 67 54 84 14 blanchet(a)abes.fr

Migration Return Errors
by Matt Wells 14 Dec '15

14 Dec '15

We're running oVirt 3.5 in a two node setup. We've had some storage issues and getting it humming with Gluster but this seems to have all of that squared away. Our problem is peculiar and I wanted to ask the list to see if anyone else has had this. In short you can migrate a VM from one host to the other but once there it can not return to it's original host. We attempted a few things yesterday and with testing today I'll attach logs shortly. ** Environment Hosts name - Host1.example.com Host2.example.com VMs name - Server1.example.com Server2.example.com This is a hosted-enginge configuration but all seems to be working well. Even the hosted-engine shows this behavior but I'm focusing on Server 1 and 2; not the engine as I believe it complicates the tests. * Both nodes are operational with no power management setup * All VMs reside within the vm_storage mount point * At this time there is only one Network; it has the VMs and hosts. This will be broken up after this is resolved. * Server1 migrates (by hand ) from Host1 to Host2 with no issues * Server2 is powered on atop Host1 with no issues; leaving one VM on both hosts * I attempt to migrate Server1 back to Host1 and he states there is no available hypervisor * I can reboot Server2 with no issues, create a new VM on Host1 * A VM can only migrate onces, never able to return from whence it came The only way to force this is to place Host1 in maintenance mode and activate again. After this Server2 can return to Host1 but then is unable to go back to Server2; being in the same cycle

How To: Node Hosted-Engine with less then 16GB

Anything to do with ' jenkins' OVA did not work for = me, size mismatch, etc. Anytime I tried to deploy the Hosted-Engine via the Node TUI, I was not pro= mpted to adjust the amount of RAM the Hosted-Engine VM takes.

Copy its OVA from /usr/share/ovi= rt-engine-appliance/ to your webserver Run hosted-engine -deploy from "host1". Adjust the RAM to 4096. Run the Hosted-Engine deploy from Node.

hosted-engine --deploy using vmfex, not bridged mode ?

I'm following some guides but I'm having trouble with the hosted-= engine --deploy section. I want to use VM-FEX to setup this initial host, as when I go bridged mode = it breaks the networking on the host and I am unable to configure/correctly= setup everything. Is there a way I can perform the hosted-engine setup using this method of t= elling it to use a vm-fex defined network pool? I might need to configure t= his myself before running hosted-engine deploy.. which is fine but I can't = touch or edit the virsh settings as there's a password - and I'm not sure h= ow to get that to modify the networking myself after the initial setup. FYI - this is the guide I'm following, as we are interested in the gluster = replication (http://community.redhat.com/blog/2014/10/up-and-running-with-o= virt-3-5/) Any suggestions/tips would be appreciated.

oVirt 3.6 and CentOS 7
by ovirt＠timmi.org 13 Dec '15

13 Dec '15

Hi oVirt users, since a couple of days I'm struggling to install oVirt 3.6 on a CentOS 7 server. Here are the steps I have done to get oVirt 3.6 engine on the host. 1. Install minimal CentOS 2. update to latest version (yum update) 3. install oVirt 3.6 (yum install ovirt-engine) 4. start rpcbind (systemctl start rpcbind) 5. run engine-setup --== CONFIGURATION PREVIEW ==-- Application mode : both Default SAN wipe after delete : False Firewall manager : firewalld Update Firewall : True Host FQDN : hostname.localdomain Engine database secured connection : False Engine database host : localhost Engine database user name : engine Engine database name : engine Engine database port : 5432 Engine database host name validation : False Engine installation : True NFS setup : True PKI organization : Me NFS export ACL : 192.168.1.0/24(rw) NFS mount point : /home/iso Configure local Engine database : True Set application as default page : True Configure Apache SSL : True Configure VMConsole Proxy : True Engine Host FQDN : hostname.localdomain Configure WebSocket Proxy : True After the successful installation of the engine I logged into the admin portal to add the host to the data center. Here I entered in the following issue: Adding the host never was successful. I found out that the firewalld was always stopped and disabled during that process. A manual start of the firewalld was allowing me to continue. After that I was able to add the storage to the server. Now I thought I will be able to install a VM into the host but it looks like that something else is missing. I have no options in the drop-down boxes of cluster, templates and OS. Is anyone able to help me here? Please note that this is my first oVirt installation. Best regards and thx Christoph

[Rest API / Python SDK] Setting VM Video Type
by Ollie Armstrong 11 Dec '15

11 Dec '15

Hi everyone, I'm looking for a method of settings the VM's video type to QXL from the Python SDK, which doesn't appear to be possible in any way. Whenever I set the graphics protocol to VNC it defaults the video type to CIRRUS. I'd like to use QXL with VNC, which is possible to set using the console's web UI. Has anyone achieved this before? Using the "SPICE + VNC" option with QXL would also be acceptable, but the API doesn't seem to accept that value for the graphics protocol. Cheers, Ollie
