[Users] scheduling storage migration
by Jorick Astrego 06 Apr '14

06 Apr '14

Hi, I don't know if it's possible yet but can we schedule the (live) storage migration? It would be awesome to have for example some VM data on SSD storage that migrates to HDD storage when the VM is shutdown. Or have VM's with high IO load during specific times migrate to a high IO storage domain during these hours. I realize it will generate extra load while migrating but this can be planned for. Maybe the guys from glusterfs could enable storage migration on their side so the migration can execute on the storage server triggered by ovirt, that would be even better performance wise. Kind regards, Jorick Astrego

[Users] Upgrading dwh and reports from 3.3.4 to 3.4.0?
by Gianluca Cecchi 06 Apr '14

Hello, on F19 I upgraded engine from 3..3.4 to 3.4.0. Then yum update ovirt-engine-dwh ovirt-engine-reports ... Running transaction Installing : ovirt-engine-dwh-setup-3.4.0-2.fc19.noarch 1/8 Installing : ovirt-engine-reports-setup-3.4.0-2.fc19.noarch 2/8 Updating : jasperreports-server-5.5.0-7.fc19.noarch 3/8 Updating : ovirt-engine-reports-3.4.0-2.fc19.noarch 4/8 Updating : ovirt-engine-dwh-3.4.0-2.fc19.noarch 5/8 Cleanup : ovirt-engine-reports-3.3.4-1.fc19.noarch 6/8 Cleanup : jasperreports-server-5.5.0-1.noarch 7/8 Cleanup : ovirt-engine-dwh-3.3.4-1.fc19.noarch 8/8 Verifying : jasperreports-server-5.5.0-7.fc19.noarch 1/8 Verifying : ovirt-engine-reports-setup-3.4.0-2.fc19.noarch 2/8 Verifying : ovirt-engine-dwh-setup-3.4.0-2.fc19.noarch 3/8 Verifying : ovirt-engine-dwh-3.4.0-2.fc19.noarch 4/8 Verifying : ovirt-engine-reports-3.4.0-2.fc19.noarch 5/8 Verifying : jasperreports-server-5.5.0-1.noarch 6/8 Verifying : ovirt-engine-reports-3.3.4-1.fc19.noarch 7/8 Verifying : ovirt-engine-dwh-3.3.4-1.fc19.noarch 8/8 Dependency Installed: ovirt-engine-dwh-setup.noarch 0:3.4.0-2.fc19 ovirt-engine-reports-setup.noarch 0:3.4.0-2.fc19 Updated: ovirt-engine-dwh.noarch 0:3.4.0-2.fc19 ovirt-engine-reports.noarch 0:3.4.0-2.fc19 Dependency Updated: jasperreports-server.noarch 0:5.5.0-7.fc19 Complete! But now I see I have neither ovirt-engine-dwh-setup nor ovirt-engine-reports.setup as in 3.3.4... What to do? I only see this thread http://lists.ovirt.org/pipermail/users/2014-March/022205.html and other infos that suggests for new installation engine-setup should care about dwh too (but I don't know for reports...) What about pre-existing 3.3.4 installations with dwh and reports? The engine-setup for upgrade from 3.3.4 to 3.4 didn't notice anything about dwh/reports and didn't update any package: --== CONFIGURATION PREVIEW ==-- Engine database name : engine Engine database secured connection : False Engine database host : localhost Engine database user name : engine Engine database host name validation : False Engine database port : 5432 NFS setup : True Firewall manager : iptables Update Firewall : True Configure WebSocket Proxy : True Host FQDN : tekkaman.localdomain.local NFS mount point : /ISO Set application as default page : True Configure Apache SSL : False Require packages rollback : False Upgrade packages : True Please confirm installation settings (OK, Cancel) [OK]: If I try to run engine-setup again I get [root@tekkaman ~]# engine-setup [ INFO ] Stage: Initializing [ INFO ] Stage: Environment setup Configuration files: ['/etc/ovirt-engine-setup.conf.d/10-packaging-aio.conf', '/etc/ovirt-engine-setup.conf.d/10-packaging.conf', '/etc/ovirt-engine-setup.conf.d/20-setup-aio.conf', '/etc/ovirt-engine-setup.conf.d/20-setup-ovirt-post.conf'] Log file: /var/log/ovirt-engine/setup/ovirt-engine-setup-20140405184435.log Version: otopi-1.2.0 (otopi-1.2.0-1.fc19) [ ERROR ] Failed to execute stage 'Environment setup': initial_value must be unicode or None, not str [ INFO ] Stage: Clean up Log file is located at /var/log/ovirt-engine/setup/ovirt-engine-setup-20140405184435.log [ INFO ] Stage: Pre-termination [ INFO ] Stage: Termination [ ERROR ] Execution of setup failed If I patch as in http://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/c/26005/ I get # engine-setup [ INFO ] Stage: Initializing [ ERROR ] Failed to execute stage 'Initializing': type object 'ConfigEnv' has no attribute 'LEGACY_REPORTS_WAR' [ INFO ] Stage: Clean up Log file is located at /var/log/ovirt-engine/setup/ovirt-engine-setup-20140405190842.log [ INFO ] Stage: Pre-termination [ INFO ] Stage: Termination [ ERROR ] Execution of setup failed any hint?

[Users] It is Ok using OVIRT in production environment ?
by tristano82＠libero.it 06 Apr '14

06 Apr '14

Hello, actually we have a cluster of RHEV nodes, and other one cluster with vmware nodes. I'm so excited about the works that community are doing with ovirt, but all of my sysadmin said me that cannot be used in production, because there is not a very stable release and because they need to spend too much time in upgrading node and manager. What do you think? Thanks Marco

[Users] Force certain VMs to be on different hosts

This message is in MIME format. --=_6jyb8zehjukgok Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; DelSp="Yes"; format="flowed" Content-Disposition: inline Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Is there a way to have certain VMs to be on different hosts? (assuming there are enough hosts) IE. I have a db cluster of 3 VMs. I would like each one to always be on different hosts. That way if a host goes down my db cluster is still happy while migration happens. Or if migration fails I am still good.

[Users] Hosted-Engine purpose for gateway check?
by Andrew Lau 06 Apr '14

06 Apr '14

Hi, I was recently playing around with the new ovirt 3.4 ga, I'm very happy all those issues I reported got fixed :D I found a new issue regarding the use of PREFIX vs NETMASK which I've uploaded here https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1084685 Anyway -- I'm wondering what is the purpose for the gateway check in the hosted-engine setup? In my test case, I had the following NIC configuration eth0 - public (has gateway) eth1 - management eth1.1 - storage eth2 - vm data (no IP address) So during the hosted engine install, it will not let me assign eth2 as the NIC because it has no IP address or gateway. So I proceed to use eth1 instead as, as it has an IP address but again that would fail because no gateway. Luckily I have a L3 switch, so I put up a gateway for eth1 and that solved that issue. What is the gateway check supposed to achieve? I also tried to put in my eth0's IP address as the gateway but it still failed because of those config issues. If management/ovirtmgmt/vmdata are all on a L2 switch environment, effectively there becomes no gateway and it prevents the installation. Am I looking at this the wrong way? Thanks, Andrew

[Users] set computername and domain when vm is created from template.
by Jeff Clay 06 Apr '14

06 Apr '14

i'm needing to change the computer name to something based on the vm's name or something and add the system to an active directory domain. this needs to be done when i create new vm's from a template. any suggestions? from what i'm reading, cloud-init is what i'm needing to use, i installed and ran it to check it out. it changed the computer name, but i can't find where to specify the computer name value or how to set domain info.

[Users] how do you manually add ovirtmgmt network to a node/host
by Jeremiah Jahn 06 Apr '14

06 Apr '14

Trying to install ovirt node on an already existing kvm host. Used the "New" wizard from the engine. Things seemed to go ok ish until it got to the point where it wanted to install networking. No real errors, but has "One of the Logical Networks defined for this Cluster is Unreachable by the Host." error sitting on it. I tried dragging that network onto one of the interfaces of my host, which already has an IP address, as that's how I ssh to it, and it then took down the interface and tried to dhcp an ip for it which failed after a while, and resulted in udev stuck in an infinite loop taking down and bringing up said interface. Not really sure what's going on or what it's trying to accomplish. I set the ovrtmgmt network to have the same vlan id as the ethernet device i dragged it onto. thanks for any help.
