ovirt 3.4 hosted-engine static IP
by Klas Mattsson 19 May '14

19 May '14

Hello, new user here! I've noticed that the virtual interface ovirtmgmt gets an IP address by DHCP. Is there any good way to make it static instead? I've seen a workaround which is basically: run hosted-engine --deploy Let it configure the management interface. Cancel Change the IP adress to static in: /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ovirtmgmt Run hosted-engine --deploy again. Would this be the current appropriate solution? Also, is it possible to change this later on, after the installation is finished? I would appreciate any assistance. With my best regards Klas Mattsson

ovirt image deployment and foreman?
by Andrew Lau 17 May '14

17 May '14

Hi guys, I was wondering if anyone's had any luck with oVirt and Foreman 1.5 image integration. Foreman 1.5 seems to boast the new oVirt image deployment feature but I'm still not getting much luck and no one seems to know why. I've opened my bug here http://projects.theforeman.org/issues/5581 So far I've only got up to: The VM will be created in oVirt, it will have no disk attached to it and it's template configurable such as "Delete protection" are not kept. Could anyone shed some light on this? Cheers, Andrew

Recovering from an aborted hosted-engine --deploy
by Bob Doolittle 16 May '14

16 May '14

Hi, I had an issue at the end of my hosted-engine --deploy. My VM was stuck during OS installation because I was unable to configure the network for some reason. So I chose the final option "3" to abort the deployment. Now, I seem to be stuck. If I try to re-run --deploy it says it's already installed. If I try to run --vm-status, it says: Cannot connect to the HA daemon, please check the logs. But it's not clear what logs I should look at to get more info. I've attached the most recently modified logs. I can't get useful information out of them I'm afraid. There is no log for /var/log/ovirt-hosted-engine-ha Any clues? Thanks, Bob

Hi all, There is any fix or workaround to avoid the Up-Side effect when using HTML5-SPICE to access Windows Guest? I'm testing with Windows 7 and HTML5, present the Window inverted, while with Linux Guest it properly works. Any help would be appreciated. BRgds, Felipe

newbee questions

Hi, Im very new to virtualization on Linux, wanting to kick the tires some, and am wondering where best to go next. Right now, ive done the 'all in one install' of ovirt 3.4 on a single fedora 19 machine. Its a desktop with a wifi network interface, and im trying to set up the kvm hypervisor in combination with macvtap. Any pointers to docs on what best to do next is appreciated. Im currently trying to make sense of this: http://www.ovirt.org/Quick_Start_Guide Also, as far as I can tell, there seems to be an issue with the detection of my wireless wifi network interface 'wlp2s0' as it doesnt seem to show up anywhere in the interface. I can attach the 'ovirtmgmt' network to my standard wired ethernet interface 'p2p2', but that device is not in use on the machine and it is disconnected from the network. Reading about linux virt and issues with bridging with wifi NIC's on the web made me, perhaps incorrectly here, assume that a wifi nic might be an issue, so thats where the idea to use macvtap came from. Manual setup of macvtap seems to work, as i can do this without issues on a root prompt on the same machine: ip link add link wlp2s0 name macvtap0 type macvtap ip link set macvtap0 address 1a:46:0b:ca:bc:7b up ip link show macvtap0 But the wifi interface 'wlp2s0' does not seem to show up in the ovirt web gui interface. Im sorry if I sound confusing here, but that may be just because im really still confused about ovirt. ;) So any pointers on what to read up on or do next is appreciated, Thanks, Regards, John Smith.

Sizing Recommendations For oVirt+Gluster
by Breandan Dezendorf 16 May '14

16 May '14

I am planning on doing a small-scale oVirt setup to prepare for a larger deployment at $JOB. I've looked over the mailing list and done some research via Google, but I am having trouble getting a sizing recommendation for what I want to do. I plan to run 8-10 VMs, each with 1-2 GB RAM and 1 or 2 virtual processors. On the storage side, I have 4.5 TB of various media that I would like to make available along side VM storage, the bulk of which is non-compressable Nikon NEFs. I was looking at a pair of servers: Quad-core Xeon's with HyperThreading, 32 GB of RAM, quad gigE Intel NICs. I have 8 2TB SATA hard drives and 6 750GB SATA hard drives to spread between the servers. I know it's possible to run the gluster storage on the same nodes that oVirt VMs are running, but I am wondering if this is wise, with the load I'm suggesting and the server specs I've outlined here. Ideally, if either node has to be taken down, I'd like to be able to move/migrate all the VMs to the other node, do the maintenance needed, and bring the node back online. I'm willing to take a performance hit while one node is down, but I need all VMs and storage services to be available. thanks, -- Breandan Dezendorf breandan(a)dezendorf.com http://gurucollege.net https://gurufoto.net

[Users] oVirt Node Bootloader issue
by Nauman Abbas 16 May '14

16 May '14

Hello there I'm facing this problem and this has happened to me multiple times on different machines. I have two hard drives in my system (lets say HDD A and HDD B). I boot the system from the oVirt node CD to install it. Now I want the bootloader and the node installation both to go on HDD B and not HDD A. When I get to the screen which asks me to select the hard-drive for bootloader I use the arrow keys to select HDD B and press Enter (have also tried pressing space or just use tab and continue while it's selected). Then I get to the screen asking where to install the node. I select HDD B and unselect HDD A. I keep the partitioning setup as default ( have also tried manual and kept 5GB unused on HDD A). When I get to install part. It installs the node fine on HDD B as expected but it always gets the boot-loader on HDD A. This issue has wasted many of my days on different machines and I can't seem to find a way around.
