[Users] Reattach storage domain
by Alexandr 09 Feb '14

09 Feb '14

Hello! Unfortunately my master storage domain (gluster) is dead. I setup another gluster-storage and attach it to the ovirt. Hostname, path and volume name are same as old ones. Then I restored from tar archive all files. But I cannot activate master domain, operation failed and domain status remains "inactive". I see - it mounted on nodes: vms02.lis.ua:STORAGE on /rhev/data-center/mnt/glusterSD/vms02.lis.ua:STORAGE I attached engine.log, can someone provide me recovery steps? P.S. Sorry for my english

[Users] New iSCSI domain problem when first input wrong password
by Gianluca Cecchi 09 Feb '14

09 Feb '14

Hello, I have a fedora 19 engine based on 3.3 final. I installed a fedora 19 host (configured as infrastructure server) and then installed from web gui. Then yum update of the host updated vdsm (see separate thread I'm going to open for this). I create iSCSI DC and add that host to it. When I try to create the new iSCSI storage domain (sw iscsi target on a CentOS 6.5 server) I initially input the wrong chap password so that discovery goes ok, while authentication fails. Then I put correct pwd but after apparently going on (I see the exposed lun) then gives error in webadmin gui I have 2014-Feb-05, 16:57 Failed to attach Storage Domain OV01 to Data Center ISCSI. (User: admin@internal) 2014-Feb-05, 16:57 Failed to attach Storage Domains to Data Center ISCSI.

[Users] Can't open ovirt console using Spice or VNC - help!
by Drew Showers 09 Feb '14

09 Feb '14

Hello, I'm a nube with ovirt, but have the ovirt-engine and 1 remote host up and running (separate physical servers, same subnet). The network, DNS. NFS all work. I can create VM's, install the ISO OS with no problems. Here is were I get stuck. After a frustrating few hours trying to get a console to launch on my mac, I broke down and created a new Centos 6.4 Desktop VM using Fusion. I've installed - spice-xpi (yum install spice-xpi) virt-manager (yum install virt-manager) Using Firefox, if I try to open the console from the ovirt admin using Spice browser plugin or native client options, nothing happens (no errors either), other than message saying the user is initiating a console session. If using VNC, then it wants to either download the console.vv or open it with the default viewer, which throws and error "Unable to connect to the graphics server file" So, I'm stuck in going any further until I get this worked out. No VM IP or host name (unless I'm missing something)... I actually find this quite unfriendly. I know similar issues have been discussed previously, but none have solved my problem. BTW: I'm running Centos 6.5 on both the engine and host. I'm not sure if I'm missing additional packages or what. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Drew

[Users] A/B network setup
by Pat Pierson 09 Feb '14

09 Feb '14

I am having some issues wrapping my head around this but what I am trying to setup is a A/B testing environment with a 3node cluster. Each node has 2 nics, 1 for ovirtmgmt and 1 for vlaned A/B network. I guess what I am trying to understand is if ovirt is tagging the vlan's I setup and is properly passing that to the switch? This would allow me to have multiple subnets on a host that the switch also can see as multiple vlans. Right? I would still have to configure the switch to allow that port access to both vlans. -- Patrick Pierson

[Users] FOSDEM slides + recordings available
by Doron Fediuck 09 Feb '14

09 Feb '14

http://www.ovirt.org/FOSDEM_2014#Sessions I will continue to update with recordings (and last slides) as it becomes available. This is also a good chance to thank everyone involved. People who practiced, spoke, volunteered for stand shifts, Video handling, helping with the oVirt-live, carrying maps, laptops, handout-sheets, poster-sign to/from UBL and other logistics. Special thanks to Joop, René, Jorick, Robert and Alexander who joined us in ULB . We got a big and very positive exposure for oVirt, which as you'll be able to hear is getting a lot of community attention now. See you in FOSDEM 2015 ;) Doron

[Users] Best way to request a new feature?
by Bob Doolittle 09 Feb '14

09 Feb '14

What's the best way to request a new feature? Do we manage a Wiki page for this somewhere? Or should I just open a bug/rfe? The feature I'd like to see: It would be nice if the Admin page had an indication either on the VMs page or in the left navigation frame when everything is in place for starting VMs. Here's an example scenario to illustrate why this would be useful: Every morning I power up my Engine and Host machines. The first thing I have to do is Activate my Host, and then monitor it while it comes up, Contends and eventually assumes SPM responsibility. Then I can change to the tab with my VMs and start up the one(s) I need, and open their consoles. But I have to watch the Host tab until SPM is established, because when looking at the VMs page there's no indication whether they can be started up yet or not. Nothing unless I try to start one, and get a pop-up error. Additional useful features: Is there any way to cause a VM to automatically power on as soon as oVirt is ready to do so? Is there any way to cause a console to automatically open up as soon as a VM is started? -Bob

[Users] oVirt or RHEV ?
by Martijn Grendelman 07 Feb '14

07 Feb '14

Hi, This may be the wrong place to ask, but I'm looking for input to form an opinion on an "oVirt or RHEV" question within my company. I have been running oVirt for about 5 months now, and I'm quite comfortable with its features and maintenance procedures. We are now planning to build a private virtualization cluster for hosting clients' applications as well as our own. Some people in the company are questioning whether we should buy RHEV, but at this point, I can't see the benefits. Can anyone on this list shed a light on when RHEV might be a better choice than oVirt? What are the benefits? The trade-offs? I am looking for pragmatic, real-world things, not marketing mumbo jumbo. That, I can get from redhat.com ;-) Best regards, Martijn.
