[ovirt 3.4.4] iptables blocking access via nativ vnc (blocking port)
by Grzegorz Szypa 09 Oct '14

Hi. How does opening ports for VNC connection if you need ports in the range 5900-5999 unblock yourself or ovirt should do it yourself? -- G.Sz.

To oVirt or not to oVirt
by Phil Daws 08 Oct '14

08 Oct '14

Good day all! have been a KVM user/admin for the last few years and have configured all aspects using either VirtManager or CLI where required. am about to reinstall my development system and started to look at using CentOS7 as the host, and to get a more recent version of KVM. After a little search around I came across oVirt and am considering whether to install this now and use it as the main configuration tool. do have a couple of questions which hopefully somebody will be able to help with? at present I am using OpenVSwitch with KVM so that I could use the vlan capabilities and wish to ask whether will need to move away from that to a different solution ? On my host I already have about 10 VMs that I wish to keep and whether I could migrate them into oVirt ? I have been using LVM volumes as raw storage for the VM images so presume would need to convert them to a different format for use ? one of my VMs actually acts as a storage provider, using Quantastor, which then presents storage to other VMs using iSCSI which hope I can still use in oVirt ? Apologies if these questions are a little vague but am trying to get my head around how it would all work. Thank you, Phil

oVirt 3.2 - iSCSI offload (broadcom - bnx2i)
by Ricardo Esteves 08 Oct '14

Hi, I've put my host on maintenance, then i configured iscsi offload for my broadcom cards changing target's file's (192.168.12.2,3260 and 192.168.12.4,3260) in my node iqn.1986-03.com.hp:storage.msa2324i.1226151a6 to use interface bnx2i.d8:d3:85:67:e3:bb, but after activating the host, configurations are back to default.

About the oVirt workshop on Oct 16 at LinuxCon
by Patrick Laimbock 08 Oct '14

Hi, About the oVirt workshop at LinuxCon on Oct 16: is it a hands-on workshop where you do an install/config on your own laptop (if yes, requirements?) or is it more of a presentation kind of workshop? Thanks, Patrick

Custom Cloud-Init script only partially executing
by Chris Routh 08 Oct '14

08 Oct '14

I'm trying to get the custom cloud-init script section in my site to run. My goal is to have the VM run 'yum update', add the PuppetLabs repository, and then install the latest puppet agent, and join it to Puppet. Following the docs for oVirt and Cloud-Init I have this: BEGIN SCRIPT ======================= yum_repos: # The name of the repository puppetlabs-release: baseurl: http://yum.puppetlabs.com/puppetlabs-release-el-6.noarch.rpm enabled: true failovermethod: priority gpgcheck: true gpgkey: file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-puppetlabs name: Puppet Labs repository for Enterprise Linux 6 # Upgrade the instance on first boot package_upgrade: true # Install additional packages on first boot packages: - puppet # Automatically setup and run puppetd puppet: conf: agent: server: "puppet.example.com" certname: "%f" ca_cert: | -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- < My Cert > -----END CERTIFICATE----- ======================= END SCRIPT However what I end up with from this is: - No Yum update - No added repository - Puppet gets installed from the default repos - No attempt to join According to the cloud-init docs my code is correct, however oVirt is not respecting anything, with the sole exception being the 'packages:' argument. Can someone please explain? Also, I have combed the script and ensured that the indentation was 4 spaces, and not tabs. I noted that previous users in this mailing list have had that issue before.

Nesting Hyper-V
by Nathan Llaneza 08 Oct '14

08 Oct '14

Hello All, I work for a educational institution, and we currently use oVirt in our datacenter. We are on the latest stable build of oVirt 3.4.4. Most of our hypervisors run CentOS 6.5; however, we have recently been asked if we could assign virtual hypervisors (Server 2012 R2) to some of our classes for learning purposes. I have been doing some research and found that I needed atleast kernel 3.10; therefore, I took one hypervisors and converted it to CentOS 7 fully patched. I also installed the nestedvt hook as described here <http://community.redhat.com/blog/2013/08/testing-ovirt-3-3-with-nested-kvm/>. I am all researched/googled out, and I am having no luck. After I do a typical install of Server 2012 R2 it will not let me install the Hyper-V role. I quote "Hyper-V cannot be installed: A hypervisor is already running". When I run the command cat /sys/module/kvm_intel/parameters/nested it comes back with a "Y". If I look in the host hooks it shows the nestedvt and macspoof. The VM has a custom property of macspoof = true. Did I miss something? Is this possible? Has anyone done this before? Thank you in advance for all you do. Your work on this project has helped our community college greatly and our student even more. Because of this project we have be able to give students virtual resources to complete their labs from anywhere at anytime.

Hi All, This is not a issue or problem, more like a question... Is it possible for the next upcomming ovirt release to put all the necesarry file back in 1 repo in stead of 3 or 4 different ones? Because when you have your own local mirrors... This is not so nice to manage... Just asking... :-) Kind regards, Koen

Restoring backed up VM

This is a multi-part MIME message. --=_reb-r3E2C9F17-t5431F02A Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8"; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Hi I am trying to backup and restore the VM using the flow suggester at Features/Backup-Restore API Integration <http://www.ovirt.org/Features/Backup-Restore_API_Integration#VM_Backup.2FRe…> When I tried to restore the VM using the following steps, _*Full Virtual Machine Restoration*_ 1. Create disks for restore 2. Attach the disks for restore to the virtual appliance (Restore the data to it) 3. Detach the disks from the virtual appliance. 4. Create a vm using the configuration that was saved as part of the backup flow - (added capabillity to oVirt as part of the Backup API) 5. Attach the restored disks to the created vm. I encountered following error at step 4. <fault> <reason>Operation Failed</reason> <detail>[Import VM failed - _*VM Id already exist in the system*_. Please remove the VM (RHEL_65_CL1_CLONE2) from the system first]</detail> </fault> I have not deleted/removed the backed up VM from the system. Is it expected behaviour? Should it not overwrite the existing VM or Create new VM with different VM Id, if the backup up VM exists?

Harmful to rename a cluster?
by Nicolas Ecarnot 07 Oct '14

07 Oct '14

Hi, For reasons beyond sanity, I will have to rename a cluster to something, then rename it back to its previous name. - Is it only a label with no impact on a production datacenter? - Will it be possible to rename it back? Won't oVirt remember a previous similar name was used and prevent me from doing so? Thank you -- Nicolas Ecarnot
