Hi Christopher, Thanks for raising the issue. It sounds like the issue you are referring to is related to the fix of https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1261996 . Adding some more people who should be involved. On Sun, Oct 11, 2015 at 10:49 AM, Elad Ben Aharon <ebenahar(a)redhat.com> wrote: > Hi Christopher, > > Thanks for raising the issue.

Hanging remove snapshot tasks
by Arsène Gschwind 09 Oct '15

09 Oct '15

Hi, I would like to update ovirt to 3.5.4 from 3.5.3 but engine-setup fails due to remove snapshot tasks. [ INFO ] Cleaning async tasks and compensations The following system tasks have been found running in the system: The following commands have been found running in the system: The following compensations have been found running in the system: org.ovirt.engine.core.bll.RemoveSnapshotCommand org.ovirt.engine.core.common.businessentities.Snapshot org.ovirt.engine.core.bll.RemoveSnapshotCommand org.ovirt.engine.core.common.businessentities.Snapshot org.ovirt.engine.core.bll.RemoveSnapshotCommand org.ovirt.engine.core.common.businessentities.Snapshot org.ovirt.engine.core.bll.RemoveSnapshotCommand org.ovirt.engine.core.common.businessentities.Snapshot Would you like to try to wait for that?

VM's in wrong state
by Johan Kooijman 09 Oct '15

09 Oct '15

Hi all, Since a couple of days I have one node with non responsive VM's. The node is OK and the VM's are working actually, just show the wrong state. I'll find out why it happened, but for now I need to correct the state. Any ideas on how to do that? -- Met vriendelijke groeten / With kind regards, Johan Kooijman

migration procedures
by Brett Stevens 09 Oct '15

09 Oct '15

Hi Guys. We've been using a single instance all in one ovirt 3.5 with local storage with quite some success for about 6 months. We are a small school and have managed to secure some funding for a decent setup 2 x compute and 2 x storage clusters. I want a separate, non vm manager (so as to provide a host for gluster arbiter nodes ) along with some other functions (nagiso etc) So my real question, has anyone migrated a similar system? any ideas on how to get the current vms over to the new infrastructure. I can do shutdown and move, but it would be great if I can join the two and live migrate somehow. I'd like to use 3.6 when available if that is possible. thanks Brett Stevens

Re: [ovirt-users] Admin <at> internal inlog problems with clean install 3.6RC
by Christopher Miersma 09 Oct '15

09 Oct '15

I'm having the same problem with the latest packages for 3.6 RC. I've tried reinstalling a number of times, setting up with and without an answer file, and I always get a login denied error. Log entries: (from trying ovirt-shell) 2015-10-05 09:30:48,361 ERROR [org.ovirt.engine.core.aaa.filters.BasicAuthenticationFilter] (default task-1) [] User admin authentication failed. profile is internal.

This is all happening during the middle of a hosted-engine setup, which throws everything off. I've also done clean re-installs a number of times. Early last week, when the release candidate first came out, I did not have this issue. I was able to complete the install without any problems. Has anyone found a way to get around this if it starts happening? Christopher

Cannot remove Host. Server having Gluster volume. in 3.6 rc
by Liam Curtis 08 Oct '15

08 Oct '15

So I got around issue with 'Enable Gluster Service' missing from cluster diagram. I am trying to create a new data center and remove previously created gluster hosts. However, I get the above error. I have seen posts about checking a force remove check box, but I do not see any such box. Is there a way to forcefully remove? Thank you.
