Live VM Backups
by Chris Jones - BookIt.com Systems Administrator 10 Jul '15

10 Jul '15

From what I can tell, you can only backup a VM to an export domain if the VM is shut down. Is a live VM backup not possible through oVirt? If not, why not? Most other virtualization tools can handle this. If it is possible, how do I do it through the backup API? api.vms.myvm.export requires it to be shutdown so what would the alternative be? Thanks. -- This email was Virus checked by UTM 9. For issues please contact the Windows Systems Admin.

Unable to shutdown, poweroff or delete a VM
by Mark Steele 10 Jul '15

We are running oVirt Version 3.5.0.1-1.el6. I have a VM on one of my hosts that appears to be stuck. The VM shows running, however I am unable to successfully shutdown, powerdown, or otherwise change the status of the VM. It is not pinging. The guest OS is Ubuntu 14.04 and the ovirt agent is installed. I have attempted to stop the vm from the ovirt-shell as well and get the following errors for each command: [oVirt shell (*connected*)]# action vm connect-turbo-stage-03 stop *============================================================== ERROR ===========================================================* * status: 400* * reason: Bad Request* * detail: Unexpected exception* * ================================================================================================================================* [oVirt shell (*connected*)]# remove vm connect-turbo-stage-03 *============================================================== ERROR ===========================================================* * status: 409* * reason: Conflict* * detail: Cannot remove VM.

Hi, I was wondering about $SUBJ. Is it governed by interfaces order in osinfo properties? Or somewhere else? I hope that virtio-blk isn't hardcoded... Best regards, David Jaša

Re: [ovirt-users] oVirt 3.5.3 Host Network Interfaces
by Soeren Malchow 06 Jul '15

06 Jul '15

Dear Michael We actually created the ovirtmgmt and the bond manually upfront and then in the ³Setup Hosts Network² we basically did this again (including setting the IP address), regarding the bonding in the gluster network we did not have a problem, you just drag one interface onto the other and then select the bonding mode, where you can also go for bonding mode TLB or ALB if you choose ³custom² or just LACP if you have switches that support this. Step by Step: - set the engine to maintenance and shut it down - configure the bond on the 2 nics for the ovirtmgmt bridge ( em1+em2 -> bond0 -> ovirtmgmt ) - configure the IP on the bridge - reboot the server and see whethter it comes up correctly - remove maintenance and let engine start - Set up the ovirtmgmt in hosts networks but do not forget to set IP and Gateway as well. Though it should work without this hassle (if the bonding mode on the switch and server is compatible) but this way it is easy to get server and switch in the same mode and working without having to do anything in ovirt first.
