Disk migration eats all CPU, vms running in SPM become unresponsive
by Federico Alberto Sayd 24 Jul '14

24 Jul '14

Hello: I am experiencing some troubles with ovirt nodes: When a node is selected as SPM and I move a disk between storage domains, it seems that migration process eats all CPU and some VMs (running on the SPM) hang, others lose network connectivity. The events tab at Ovirt Engine reports the CPU exceeding the defined threshold and then reports that VMs in such host (SPM) are not responding. How can I debug this? Why do the VMs become unresponsive or lost network connectivity when the host CPU goes too high? I have attached a screenshot of the ovirt-engine events, and the relevant engine.log My setup: oVirt Engine Version: 3.4.0-1.el6 (Centos 6.5) Nodes: Centos 6.5 vdsm-4.14.6-0.el6 libvirt-0.10.2-29.el6_5.9 KVM: 0.12.1.2 - 2.415.el6_5.10 (jenkins build) Regards Federico

------=_Part_27854792_967363234.1405525563715 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Hi, We have a production environment with KVM+centos6 and we want to switch to ovirt. At this moment we have 12 VM on three independent server. This VMs uses the local disks of servers, we don't have a central storage. currently we have for ovirt - Two Dell R710 with 128 gigs of ram. - A third dell server for ovirt-engine. - four 1 gb/sec NICs/ server. - Smart GB switch we would like make an ovirt environment with - clusterized, redundant filesystem, data loss protection - If a host goes to down the VMs could made a restart on the remain host - LACP/bonding (mode 6) for fast I/O beetwen gluster hosts, we don't have 10Gbe nics - 8 TB of disk capacity for VMs we don't want: - using hw raid on servers, because we need free disk tray for more capacity My questions. - Which glusterfs method is the best for us for performance? - Can I make a real "performance" disk i/o by 4-4 NICs ? Or I need 10 Gbe nic for this? - How much disk need for good redundancy/performance? 4/server or 2/server ? - What will the weak point our project? Thanks in advance.

Can we debug some truths/myths/facts about hosted-engine and gluster?
by Andrew Lau 23 Jul '14

23 Jul '14

Hi all, As most of you have got hints from previous messages, hosted engine won't work on gluster . A quote from BZ1097639 "Using hosted engine with Gluster backed storage is currently something we really warn against. I think this bug should be closed or re-targeted at documentation, because there is nothing we can do here. Hosted engine assumes that all writes are atomic and (immediately) available for all hosts in the cluster. Gluster violates those assumptions. " Until the documentation gets updated, I hope this serves as a useful notice at least to save people some of the headaches I hit like hosted-engine starting up multiple VMs because of above issue. Now my question, does this theory prevent a scenario of perhaps something like a gluster replicated volume being mounted as a glusterfs filesystem and then re-exported as the native kernel NFS share for the hosted-engine to consume? It could then be possible to chuck ctdb in there to provide a last resort failover solution. I have tried myself and suggested it to two people who are running a similar setup. Now using the native kernel NFS server for hosted-engine and they haven't reported as many issues. Curious, could anyone validate my theory on this? Thanks, Andrew

Ovirt nodes lose up status
by Fabien CARRE 23 Jul '14

23 Jul '14

Hello, I am experiencing an issue with on my current ovirt DC. The setup is 2 machines running Ovit Nodes connected to a LaCie 12big Rack Fibre 8, the nodes are connected to both controllers..
