Status libgfapi support in oVirt
by Joop 09 Jan '15

09 Jan '15

I have been trying to use libgfapi glusterfs support in oVirt but can't get it to work. After talks on IRC it seems I should apply a patch (http://gerrit.ovirt.org/33768) to enable libgf BUT I can't get it to work. Systems used: - hosts Centos7 or Fedora20 (so upto date qemu/libvirt/oVirt(3.5)) - glusterfs-3.6.1 - vdsm-4.16.0-524.gitbc618a4.el7.x86_64 (snapshot master 14-nov) - vdsm-4.16.7-1.gitdb83943.el7.x86_64 (official ovirt-3.5 vdsm, seems newer than master snapshot?? ) Just adding the patch to vdsm-4.16.7-1.gitdb83943.el7.x86_64 doesn't work, vdsm doesn't start anymore due to an error in virt/vm.py. Q1: what is de exact status of libgf and oVirt. Q2: how do I test that patch? Joop

Override hostname novnc
by Johan Kooijman 09 Jan '15

09 Jan '15

Hey all, Is there a way to override the host parameter that novnc uses in it's URL? It now tries to use it's internal hostname (private LAN), while we also like to connect over the internet: https://ovirt.domain.com/ovirt-engine/services/novnc-main.html?host=engine.… -- Met vriendelijke groeten / With kind regards, Johan Kooijman

Using gluster on other hosts?

Hello, I'm trying to configure LDAP authentication with oVirt 3.5 as described in http://www.ovirt.org/Features/AAA. I chose the simple bind transport example. But the given examples are missing the explicit specification of a base dn. Could you please advise me how this can be done? Kind regards Jannick

Possibility to regenerate answer file on primary node
by Christopher Young 08 Jan '15

08 Jan '15

I believe that I'm stuck with trying to follow the deployment via the popular guide at: http://community.redhat.com/blog/2014/11/up-and-running-with-ovirt-3-5-part… I'm trying to get my second hosted-engine deployed and seem to keep running into errors with '--deploy' on the second node. --- --== NETWORK CONFIGURATION ==-- Please indicate a pingable gateway IP address [x.x.x.x]: The following CPU types are supported by this host: - model_Westmere: Intel Westmere Family - model_Nehalem: Intel Nehalem Family - model_Penryn: Intel Penryn Family - model_Conroe: Intel Conroe Family [ ERROR ] Failed to execute stage 'Environment customization': Invalid CPU type specified: None --- It seems like the answer file that is copied from the first node is either not being copied or is incorrect. In any case, I was wondering if there was a way to verify this as well as if there is a method for regenerating the answer file on the first node should it be missing (which I think that it might be). I apologize if this is pretty obvious stuff at this point as I feel like I'm missing something. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Chris

VM Affinity groups ovirt 3.4.4
by Gary Lloyd 08 Jan '15

08 Jan '15

Hi we have recently updated our production environment to ovirt 3.4.4 . I have created a positive enforcing VM Affinity Group with 2 vms in one of our clusters, but they don't seem to be moving (currently on different hosts). Is there something else I need to activate ? Thanks *Gary Lloyd* ---------------------------------- IT Services Keele University -----------------------------------

[STORAGE] Adding posix compliant FS
by Julian De Marchi 08 Jan '15

08 Jan '15

Heya-- I'm using ovirt 3.5 and trying to add a posix compliant FS to a node in my cluster. The storage I'm trying to add is contained within LVM. Below is a link to my log files on the node where I'm trying to attach the storage. http://pastebin.com/fzN9ktAX I've read the ovirt manual for adding posix compliant storage and believe I'm doing everything correct. Any help to get this storage added would be great thanks and if I forgot to include any info please ask. --julian
