[Users] virt-manager migration
by Jeremiah Jahn 02 Apr '14

02 Apr '14

Quick background: I have a number of hosts already running SL6.5 and have been using virt-manager with them for some time. All of the guests are by-id fiber channel LUNs. I'm attempting to migrate from virt-manager to oVirt. I'll be dropping my SAN array and migrating all of the LUNs to a gluster system, which will be exporting the images to my blades over SCST or LIO. FC is what i already have and won't saturate my network as opposed to trying to use the 1Gbs network cards. Gluster is being used for redundancy and geo-replication, but not image hosting to the hosts. Anyway, long story short. I'm having a difficult time finding documentation on migrating from virt-manager to oVirt. As well as installing ovirt-nodes manually. I'd love to find this perfect world where I can just install the ovirt-node RPMs on my already running Hosts and begin to have them managed by the oVirt engine. Without and serious downtime. Any suggestions or pointers to documentation would be great. Even comments as to making this transition smoother or approaching it differently are appreciated. thanks, -jj-

[Users] VM-List gone after upgrade to 3.4
by Stefan Wendler 02 Apr '14

02 Apr '14

Hi, today I upgraded from 3.3.4 to 3.4 aus discribed in the release notes. Then executed "engine-setup" which finished without error. Though I can see the running VMs in the according tab on each node (Hosts -> Node -> Tab: Virtual Machines) I don't see anything in the "Virtual Machines" tab (System-> Virtual Machines). It just keeps loading forever. So currently I cannot view any VM that just has been created or is stopped. Is this a bug or did I miss something? Cheers, Stefan

[Users] oVirt 3.5.0 integration features
by Sandro Bonazzola 02 Apr '14

02 Apr '14

Hi, the oVirt Integration Team is pleased to present the features that will be targeted to oVirt 3.5.0 release. We are going to add iSCSI support to Hosted Engine allowing you to use an iSCSI target for the Hosted Engine data domain [1]. This will allow users to avoid to create an NFS share just for Hosted Engine when all other VMs will use iSCSI storage. We're also going to work on engine-setup allowing to distribute loads on different servers (or VMs) allowing to deploy oVirt Web Socket Proxy [2], oVirt DWH [3] and oVirt Reports [4] on different hosts. Last but not least, we're going to prepare an oVirt Windows Guest Tools ISO [5] providing agents and drivers for Windows VMs. Are you interested in any of these feature? Do you want to get involved? Feel free to join us * discussing features in their Talk page, * contributing Test Cases, * sending patches, * volunteering for testing while we're developing them.

[Users] Host's Cluster Compatibility Version doesn't match the Cluster's Compatibility Version.
by Jim＠Ovirt 02 Apr '14

02 Apr '14

Hi, I've just installed OVirt 3.4 AllInOne on a clean install of Fedora19 on a multihomed box. I had some issues getting networking working, but that seems to be up now. I've got two Alerts that are in the way now: Host's Cluster Compatibility Version doesn't match the Cluster's Compatibility Version. According to "yum list installed" every package that begins "ovirt" is version 3.4.something and every package that begins "vdsm" is version 4.14.6, but "vdsClient -s 0 getVdsCaps" reports clusterLevels = ['3.0', '3.1', '3.2', '3.3' ]. So it looks like ovirt 3.4 isn't compatible with ovirt 3.4, which seems a bit odd. What have I done wrong here? The other Alert is "Power Management is not configured for this Host.". I don't have any kind of power management for this box, is it possible to stop this message? Thanks Jim

[Users] Logical Network VLAN Tagging and DataCenters

--_000_D86C48DF8800164BBE50B87623F7AC95481F3217ln2wio001devtra_ Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Is it possible/supported to have the same VLAN ID defined across multiple d= atacenters logical networks? I am seeing a situation where if I have two Datacenters, both with a logica= l network that have the same vlan tag. E.G. DC =3D London, Logical network =3D prod, VLAN =3D 123 DC =3D Paris, Logical network =3D prod, VLAN =3D 123 If I edit one of the VM's running in the "London" datacenter, the VM NIC sh= ows up as empty even though if I click on the VM and go to the "Network Int= erfaces" tab at the bottom of the screen it lists up the "prod" network und= er "Network Name". All works OK for VM's that are assigned a logical network that is only defi= ned once (i.e. has not been added to both datacenters). This configuration is on oVirt Engine 3.3.2-1.el6. I am planning on moving = to 3.4 very soon so will test out again on that version.
