[Users] Using the chrome/chromium browser with oVirt
by Federico Simoncelli 03 Dec '12

03 Dec '12

I recently did some work to get the chrome/chromium browser to work with oVirt to connect to the VMs with spice. Few patches are needed for the spice-xpi component: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/spice-devel/2012-December/011729.html http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/spice-devel/2012-December/011730.html http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/spice-devel/2012-December/011731.html For convenience, a fedora 17 build can be found here: http://fsimonce.fedorapeople.org/spice-xpi-chromium-f17/ And an engine patch (wip) has also been proposed here: http://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/c/9679/ At the moment the combination of the spice-xpi build and the webadmin patch has been successfully tested with both: chromium-21.0.1180.89-1.fc17.x86_64 firefox-17.0-1.fc17.x86_64 Any feedback is welcome, thanks, -- Federico

[Users] Lvm vgs failed on allinone setup
by Adrian Gibanel 03 Dec '12

03 Dec '12

Hi, I'm trying to setup an oVirt 3.1 allinone system as described at: http://blog.jebpages.com/archives/up-and-running-with-ovirt-3-1-edition/ . The main differences between my article and my setup are: * I've downgraded ovirt-engine-sdk to 3.1 as suggested. * I've selected ISCSI instead of NFS when running engine-setup and answering to the: The default storage question. (I can change that to NFS if needed, I think I used ISCSI because I had seen it in another howto). * Hacked all_in_one_100.py to increase waitForHostUp timeout ( http://blog.jebpages.com/archives/up-and-running-with-ovirt-3-1-edition/#co… ) So when I first install it I go to attach local storage to local datacenter as described in 5th setp in http://blog.jebpages.com/archives/up-and-running-with-ovirt-3-1-edition/ and everything seems to work fine. My problem happens when I reboot. (I just rebooted to make sure everything was setup fine.). Then the local storage (named iso) isn't attached to the local datacenter any more. I've checked /var/log/messages and I've found what I think it's the problem: --- Nov 25 23:54:03 server vdsm Storage.LVM WARNING lvm vgs failed: 5 [] [' Volume group "e2e3cb9c-a664-4fda-be0c-428b239e7e66" not found'] Nov 25 23:54:03 server vdsm TaskManager.Task ERROR Task=`e75609f0-7322-4845-9cfc-1fb18e0ad3fc`::Unexpected error Nov 25 23:54:03 server vdsm Storage.Dispatcher.Protect ERROR {'status': {'message': "Storage domain does not exist: ('e2e3cb9c-a664-4fda-be0c-428b239e7e66',)", 'code': 358}} --- The place where I initially placed iso and storage was /home/iso and /home/storage where /home was a normal ext4 partition. In order to try to fix this problem and maybe increase oVirt capabilites now /home is an ext4 partition but not a normal one but mounted over an LV one. As you can see the problem has not been fixed. So I either need some help on how to fix this. I don't know. Some ideas. * What's oVirt expecting when it searches a Volume group. * What command is it trying to run? * I've tried to search the script which might do the search but I've been unable to find it. * Does oVirt expect any special partitioning layout regarding lvm? Thank you for any idea you could have. -- -- Adrián Gibanel I.T.

[Users] New website live! Feedback welcome
by Dave Neary 03 Dec '12

03 Dec '12

Hi everyone, The new oVirt website is now live! http://www.ovirt.org We have made some changes to the infrastructure (the website is now running on MediaWiki: http://www.mediawiki.org on Red Hat's Platform as a Service offering OpenShift: https://openshift.redhat.com) and also to the look and feel. There is a new theme, designed and laid out by Garrett Lesage, some new content to discover, and best of all, since the entire website is now a wiki, it will be much easier to maintain over time. We have been careful to ensure that all of the old website links redirect to appropriate pages on the new site. If you find any dead links, or redirects which do not make sense, please let us know! And as the site has had limited exposure up to this point, we are happy to hear your feedback on things you like, and things we can improve. Thank you all for your support, assistance and understanding throughout this process! Regards, Dave. -- Dave Neary - Community Action and Impact Open Source and Standards, Red Hat - http://community.redhat.com Ph: +33 9 50 71 55 62 / Cell: +33 6 77 01 92 13

[Users] Question about: Host swap percentage is above the defined threshold.
by Daniel Rowe 30 Nov '12

30 Nov '12

Hi I currently have a one node ovirt setup I am migrating VMs to. I have reached a point where trying to start new VMs I get: Error while executing action: Cannot run VM. Host swap percentage is above the defined threshold. - Check your configuration parameters for Host Swap Percentage. Adjusting the BlockMigrationOnSwapUsagePercentage setting seems to do nothing. The node does have lots of free RAM and is current sitting at 68%. The node is a full fedora 17 minimal install and does have a large swap partition on fast 15k SAS disks and 48gig of RAM. So why is changing the BlockMigrationOnSwapUsagePercentage not doing anything and how do it get more VMs running? I need to over commit a bit but will be adding a new identical node to spread the load once I get all the VMs off the machine I am migrating from. I also notice the "Shared Memory" value is 0% why is this so? Do I need to set something to get same page sharing? Thanks for any advice. Regards Daniel
