upgrade path from Ovirt 3.5x to 3.6x
by Andrea Ghelardi 12 Oct '15

12 Oct '15

Hallo, I needed a quick confirmation on this subject. Our environment is Ovirt 3.511 (yes, I’ll upgrade soon, I know) running on a Centos 6.6 hosted engine VM on a cluster of Centos 6.6 physical servers. Since Ovirt 3.6x will be compatible with Centos 7 hypervisor only, how I’m supposed to upgrade hosted engine, VM and HOSTs? i.e. readme tells us the well known procedure (put hosted eng in maintenance, upgrade, etc) but I will eventually end in a scenario where my hosted engine 3.6 will run on centos 7 VM running (on) a lot of centos 6.6 servers... Please tell me I have not to create a totally different datacenter and export -> import all VMs... Thank you! Andrea Ghelardi

ovirt repos dependencies
by Nathanaël Blanchet 12 Oct '15

12 Oct '15

Hello, I tried to install a single host with a custom repo synced by my own from official ovirt, gluster repos etc... (with katello). But installation always fail because otopi can't locate gluster packages, while those packages are available and can be yum installed on the host. So, what does otopi require more than gluster repo for a successfull installation? This limitation prevents from anyone to install a host from an other repo than official ones (in my case, using a katello subscription) -- 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

ovirt repository in the foreman host provisionning process
by Nathanaël Blanchet 12 Oct '15

12 Oct '15

Hello, In the foreman host provisionning process, should the "yum localinstall http://resources.ovirt.org/pub/yum-repo/ovirt-release35.rpm" be automatically executed in the same way as it is in a traditional way? it seems that whithout those repos, vdsm installation fails, even if the host had been previously registered with katello to a local ovirt repository. Could you please help me on that point? -- 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

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 .

Hanging remove snapshot tasks

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

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
