[Users] [URGENT] VMs not starting
by Juan Pablo Lorier 09 Jul '13

09 Jul '13

Hi, I've tried with a brand new fedora vm without OS and I have the same error. I've made the configuration change proposed by Joop not only for 3.2 version but also for 3.1 just in case something stays in the vms after creation (as they were not exported and then imported, just used the LUN). I hope someone can give me a hand in this. Regards,

[Users] RAID1 mirror on ovirt-node + engine nfs server
by Jason Keltz 09 Jul '13

09 Jul '13

Hi. I've been reading about ovirt, and ready to try my own experiments with it. I have two small questions.. When an ovirt-node is installed from the standard ISO, there's no mention in the documentation about setting up a RAID1 mirror for the root disk on the node. I'm sure that once I get around to working out kickstarting the node, I could easily install the raid1 mirror, but I'm just wondering why I don't see that in the default ISO. Maybe I'm just missing something. Is redundancy of the disk on the node not important? Sure, if the node goes down, I guess the VMs could be run on other nodes, but if we can prevent the node from going down in the first place, then why not? I also have a question about the storage backend. In particular, I have a pretty powerful server that I intend to use as the NFS server, and a few servers to use as nodes. On the other hand, I don't have a powerful machine (at the moment) to use for the ovirt-engine. Would it be poor practice to run the ovirt-engine ON the NFS server? During engine setup, I see that you can setup an NFS share for ISOs from the ovirt-engine, but I don't think there's mention of just generalized storage there. I suspect it's "poor practice", but I thought I'd ask anyway. My setup will be relatively small (say, 4 nodes), and this would let me reduce 1 general server from the infrastructure (dedicated ovirt-engine). Thanks! :) Jason. ps: At the moment, I am not subscribed to users - please cc: me on responses.

[Users] libgovirt 0.2.0
by Christophe Fergeau 08 Jul '13

08 Jul '13

--hoZxPH4CaxYzWscb Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Hey, I've just made a new release of libgovirt. libgovirt is a GObject C library to access oVirt/RHEV[1] REST API[2]. At the moment, it's able to get the list of VMs available on an oVirt instance, and to get the connection details for a given VM. This release mainly consists of internal refactoring to make it easier to support new parts of oVirt REST API, and to get it to work with older glib versions. However, it also has minor API breaks, and changes the library soname because of ABI breakage. It can be downloaded from http://people.freedesktop.org/~teuf/govirt/libgovirt-0.2.0.tar.xz It's signed with my GPG key: A525 E3EA 186A AB45 DD0F 86AF 24A4 69FB 7A56 F78E Changes since 0.1.0 - Rename OvirtVm::uuid to OvirtVm::guid to match oVirt terminology - Break ABI :( - Switch back to using GSimpleAsyncResult (from GTask) to gain compatibility with older glib versions - Refactor internals to make it much easier to add support for more REST collections - Parse more VM states from the OvirtVm resource Christophe [1] http://www.ovirt.org/Home [2] https://access.redhat.com/site/documentation//en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Virt… --hoZxPH4CaxYzWscb Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.13 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAlHal+cACgkQJKRp+3pW9462dgCcDtQXNqPSLW9JA6LX6Zy4GCUb bNUAnA5OStLSLs1bZxRaQl+kYo32S21Y =fbuI -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --hoZxPH4CaxYzWscb--

Nor is support for mdraid devices, to be honest. It's something worth considering (whether btrfs redundancy or mdraid), but it's not currently implemented to my knowledge. I could be wrong about that. I also have a question about the storage backend. In particular, I have > a pretty powerful server that I intend to use as the NFS server, and a > few servers to use as nodes.

This is definitely a workable use case, especially for small environments.
