[Users] ovirt 3.1 engine install fails - fedora 17 with selinux disabled
by David Elliott 13 Aug '12

13 Aug '12

Hi Thanks to all for the great work getting 3.1 out the door, 3.0 is working well for us and looking forward to playing with all the new features. At the moment, am having a small problem during initial engine setup where it fails if selinux is configured as "disabled" - is this intended behaviour? - selinux disabled - reports nfs domain setup as failed [root@ovirt-m-2 ~]# engine-setup --answer-file=ovirt-answers.ovirt-m-2.shazamteam.com -- snip----- Configuring the Default ISO Domain... [ ERROR ] -- snip [root@ovirt-m-2 ~]# engine-cleanup - After setting CONFIG_NFS=no, in the answer file; it gives an explicit error about selinux during the HTTPD phase (OVERRIDE_HTTPD_CONFIG=yes) [root@ovirt-m-2 ~]# engine-setup --answer-file=ovirt-answers.ovirt-m-2.shazamteam.com -- snip ---- Handling HTTPD... [ ERROR ] Failed to enable SELinux boolean -- snip ----- - set selinux to permissive and reboot - install succeeds (OVERRIDE_HTTPD_CONFIG=yes, CONFIG_NFS=yes) Cheers, Dave ______________________________________________________________________ This email has been scanned by the Symantec Email Security.cloud service.

"engine-upgrade --force-current-setup-rpm --no-yum-rollback" The upgrade goes through and completes, however at the end if I check my rpm versions they are all still the same as what they were, as above. Seems like the script isn't picking up the later versions available in the dre repo, I have also updated to the latest dre repo as well just in case. On a side note, during the upgrade script it says at the end, "starting jboss-as..." and the script never completes. Only if I then re-log in with another SSH session and restart the jboss-as service does the upgrade script continue and complete, not sure if this is perhaps a bug that's already been fixed in later versions? Not critical though. Thanks, any assistance is greatly appreciated. Regards. Neil Wilson.

[Users] Virtual disk "locked" and I can't start/alter the VM
by Ian Levesque 13 Aug '12

13 Aug '12

Hi, I tried to export a VM image, and it apparently succeeded: 2012-Aug-06, 17:00:25 Vm varanus was exported successfully to glusternfs-export But now the VM "Virtual Disk" is labeled as "locked" and I can't start or even remove and re-import the VM. Any clues how this can be resolved? Running ovirt-engine-3.1.0-3.11.el6.noarch Thanks! Ian

[Users] problems with thin provisioned LUN's for oVirt node
by Johan Kragsterman 13 Aug '12

13 Aug '12

Hi! I'd like to share a few things regarding installation(and use) of oVirt node on thin provisioned LUN's. I had problems here, perhaps someone else have noticed similarities? I use ZFS and comstar on solaris to provide volume's and LUN`S to the fibre channel SAN. When I create a thin provisioned LUN in comstar it uses the format qcow2, to be able to "fool" the OS that installs on it about the real size of the LUN. This seem to work fine with normal OS installation, but I'm doubtful about oVist node. I had issues, especially when I try to reinstall on the same LUN. During reinstallation it seems that the installation process tries to "clean" the LUN with dd if=/dev/zero , and that seem to be difficult. I've run the same cleaning process on different LUN's provided with the same qcow2 format with live media, to see what happens. First time it seems to go fine, but after one cleaning and another partitioning with LVM the dd seems to get stuck. My feeling is that the LVM partitioning seems to get stuck on the LUN and difficult to get rid of...? Perhaps due to the qcow2 format...? Could this have something to do with "nested qcow"? qcow on qcow...?" So, when I get to this stage, the LUN becomes unusable for oVirt node installation. I don't know yet about installing other software, like a normal linux os... The only oVist node's I've been able to try this on is Fc16-based, since the Fc17 have problems with the qlogic HBA's that I use in my SAN. Fc 17 doesn't load the qlogic firmware image, which makes it impossible to install on the LUN's visible through the qlogic HBA's. So, anyone that can comments, views, other perspectives, etc, on these subjects are wellcome to do so... Rgrds Johan

What is the proper process for this in ovirt? Or has someone done it already? Thanks, -- Dominic Kaiser Greater Boston Vineyard Director of Operations cell: 617-230-1412 fax: 617-252-0238 email: dominic(a)bostonvineyard.org

[Users] EL 6.3+ nodes and 3.1 compatibility?
by Dead Horse 12 Aug '12

12 Aug '12

With ovirt 3.1 EL 6.3 nodes will only work with a data center set to 3.0 compatibility mode. Is there any reason(s) why EL 6.3+ nodes would not be allowed in a 3.1 compatibility level cluster? This assumes non use of gluster since adding vdsm-gluster to an EL 6 node requires some work package update/version wise (not impossible). - DHC

Hi, I installed oVirt 3.1 under CentOS 6.3 (from dre repos) and when I want to start a VM the following error is displayed: VM TestVM is down. Exit message: internal error Process exited while reading console log output: Supported machines are: pc RHEL 6.3.0 PC (alias of rhel6.3.0) rhel6.3.0 RHEL 6.3.0 PC (default) rhel6.2.0 RHEL 6.2.0 PC rhel6.1.0 RHEL 6.1.0 PC rhel6.0.0 RHEL 6.0.0 PC rhel5.5.0 RHEL 5.5.0 PC rhel5.4.4 RHEL 5.4.4 PC rhel5.4.0 RHEL 5.4.0 PC . What could it be ? Regards. -- AGD

[Users] Migrating from KVM to oVirt 3.1 fails - corrupt OVF
by Trey Dockendorf 12 Aug '12

12 Aug '12

I'm attempting to fine-tune the process of getting my KVM/Libvirt managed VMs over into my new oVirt infrastructure, and the virt-v2v import is failing in the WUI with "Failed to read VM 'dh-imager01' OVF, it may be corrupted". I've attached both engine and vdsm logs that are a snapshot from when I ran the virt-v2v command until I saw the failure under Events. virt-v2v command used... # virt-v2v -i libvirtxml -o rhev -os dc-vmarchitect.tamu.edu:/exportdomain dh-imager01.xml dh-imager01_sys.qcow2: 100% [===========================================================================================================================================================================================================]D 0h00m37s virt-v2v: dh-imager01 configured with virtio drivers. The xml has been modified numerous times based on past mailing list comments to have VNC and Network information removed, but still the same failure. I've attached the latest XML that was used in the log's failure as dh-imager01.xml. I've also tried passing hte bridge device (ovirtmgmt) in the above command with same failure results. Node and Engine are both CentOS 6.2, with vdsm-4.10.0-4 and ovirt-engine-3.1 respectively. Please let me know what other configuration information could be helpful to debug / troubleshoot this. Are there any other methods besides a virt-v2v migration that can allow me to use my previous KVM VMs within oVirt? Thanks - Trey
