Ovirt and virt-manager interoperability
by Rob 18 Aug '14

18 Aug '14

I have a few servers with virt-manager installed (originally testbeds) and was wondering if it is possible to have both oVirt and virt-manager installed at the same time without conflict. I have no experience with oVirt due to concern over this issue.

Re: [ovirt-users] Some questions

It depends on the supportedENGINEs which getVdsCaps will return. Generally, VDSM for 3.x should keep supporting its 3.x previous minor versions.

ovirt with 389 server inactive groups
by Paul Robert Marino 18 Aug '14

18 Aug '14

I have ovirt engine running and connected to a 389 server with the memberof plugin enabled and working properly. I can add users and assign them to roles without any issues. when I look at a user I can see all the LDAP groups they are a member of. when I run engine-manage-domains -action=validate it tells me the domain is valid. here is my problem when I try to assign a role to an LDAP group it looks like it works but in the general tab when under the group it tells me the status is Inactive. dose any one know how to enable the group?

[SOLVED] RE: Reactivate a storage domain
by Dwight Schauer 18 Aug '14

18 Aug '14

Hello Ovirt users, Well, I solved the problem. When the NFS volume had filled up that knocked out non Ovirt managed VMs as well including DHCP servers. I'd been using DHCP for the management network. The Ovirt hypervisors never refreshed when I brought the DHCP servers back. (The management network was no longer connected). I went into one Ovirt hypervisor, configured it with static, and after a couple of minutes it become the SPM on its own without my involvement and the storage domains came back. Sincerely, Dwight Schauer -----Original Message----- From: users-bounces(a)ovirt.org [mailto:users-bounces@ovirt.org] On Behalf Of Dwight Schauer Sent: Sunday, August 17, 2014 12:37 PM To: users(a)ovirt.org Subject: [ovirt-users] Reactivate a storage domain Hello Ovirt users, How do I unlock a storage domain? The underlying NFS volume had filled up (I corrected that). I tried to reactivate the storage domain (it had deactivated to the volume filling up) but then it went into a locked state According to df -h: 8.0T 6.0T 2.1T 75% # 6T used, 2.1T free Ovirt thinks it only has 6.0T as is full (well, 1GB free, which is now false, but I can't convince it other wise). (I increased the size of the volume after VMs went into pause due to it filling up). Now no hosts wants to be the SPM... So my ovirt managed data center is down until I reactivate the NFS storage domain (that is the master).

list of answer file parameters?
by Jorick Astrego 17 Aug '14

17 Aug '14

Hi, I'm looking everywhere for a full list of "OVESETUP" parameters that can be used in the installer answerfile. Searched the red hat manual and found some in: "3.6. Passwords in Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager" But there are more. I can get it from a finished install but some parameters only apply to some types of installation. I found this one form lzap: https://gist.github.com/lzap/7a8cbb7f44d41e4ad171 But I don't know if it's complete or just for his personal use. No hurry, I know you are all busy ;-) Kind regards, Jorick Astrego Netbulae B.V.
