[Users] No Balloon Device
by David Metcalf 26 Apr '12

26 Apr '12

I have installed the memory balloon driver in my Windows guest but the driver says it can not start. I have also found no reference to the balloon device when looking at the qemu command line arguments of the process. Is there some way to add the balloon device I missed?

[Users] REST API query syntax
by Hui Kai Ran 26 Apr '12

26 Apr '12

Hi, all I learned some query language from "REST API User Guid" to get a reduced result list, for example: /api/storagedomains?search=name%3D*iso* it works. but the following querys do not work /api/storagedomains?search=type%3Diso /api/storagedomains?search=id%3D3f00108a-5c0e-4723-aa88-0013773bf122 /api/vms?search=display.type%3Dvnc I don't know what is the difference between them, and which property can be act as the part of query ? thanks!

[Users] ovirt and NAT/Internal Networks
by Dead Horse 25 Apr '12

25 Apr '12

I have tried to create a NAT network within ovirt for guests to use via libvirt/virsh as the vdsm@rhevh on an ovirt node. Something like this: virsh # net-info nat Name nat UUID b09d09a8-ebbd-476d-9045-e66012c9e83d Active: yes Persistent: yes Autostart: yes Bridge: natbr0 virsh # net-list --all Name State Autostart ----------------------------------------- nat active yes vdsm-natbr0 active yes vdsm-ovirtmgmt active yes virsh # virsh # net-edit nat <network> <name>nat</name> <uuid>b09d09a8-ebbd-476d-9045-e66012c9e83d</uuid> <forward mode='nat'/> <bridge name='natbr0' stp='on' delay='0' /> <mac address='52:54:00:9D:82:DE'/> <ip address='192.168.122.1' netmask='255.255.255.0'> <dhcp> <range start='192.168.122.2' end='192.168.122.254' /> </dhcp> </ip> </network> Set net.ipv4.ip_forward = 1 in sysctl.conf This is basically the default libvirt NAT network. Connecting a VM directly to it via cli (qemu-kvm) works perfectly fine on the ovirt host itself but the ovirt manager UI does not seem to pick up on it or allow for creation of such a network for guests to use. Since the ovirt manager UI did not allow I dug into the database and added entries which seem to have been necessary by hand to the following engine database tables: table: network table: network_cluster table: vds_interface table: vds_interface_statistics The result was the network did show up under cluster logical networks. However the network still does not show up under the host Network Interfaces UI. Was able to create VM and attach the natbr0 network to it and NAT was indeed working. (EG: DNSmasq assigned address). The guest was able to communicate out and without extensive testing things seemed to work. This was very painful to do (and hacky). Thus it would be very nice if since this is OOB functionality of libvirt/KVM, if ovirt would allow for it to be used. The ability to provide NAT or internal networks to guests would quite useful. - DHC

[Users] can't get VM working (no ISO images, no Console)
by Frank Wall 24 Apr '12

24 Apr '12

Hi, I've setup a test instance of ovirt like this... - setup ovirt engine on Fedora 16 using yum (ovirt-engine-3.0.0_0001-1.6.fc16.x86_64) - setup ovirt node "ovirt-node1" using the ISO image ovirt-node-iso-2.3.0-1.0.fc16.iso - created a new datacenter with NFS storage ("datacenter2") - created a new cluster ("cluster2") - added ovirt node "ovirt-node1" to cluster "cluster2" - created an NFS storage for virtual machines ("nfs_storage1") - created an NFS storage for ISO images ("iso_images1") - created a new VM on "cluster2" with disk space provided by "nfs_storage1" ...but I fail to get any VM working. First of all, I've uploaded an ISO image with the iso-uploader. I can verify that it was uploaded successfully: [root@ovirt-engine ~]# engine-iso-uploader -v -i iso_images1 upload FreeBSD-8.2-RELEASE-amd64-disc1.iso Please provide the REST API password for the admin@internal oVirt Engine user (CTRL+D to abort): DEBUG: URL is https://ovirt-engine.EXAMPLE.COM:8443/api/storagedomains?search=name%3Diso_… DEBUG: Returned XML is <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?> <storage_domains> <storage_domain href="/api/storagedomains/b2d11688-84ce-40ef-b10f-f036ac806cf9" id="b2d11688-84ce-40ef-b10f-f036ac806cf9"> <name>iso_images1</name> <link href="/api/storagedomains/b2d11688-84ce-40ef-b10f-f036ac806cf9/permissions" rel="permissions"/> <link href="/api/storagedomains/b2d11688-84ce-40ef-b10f-f036ac806cf9/files" rel="files"/> <type>iso</type> <master>false</master> <storage> <type>nfs</type> <address>192.168.200.108</address> <path>/mnt/iso1</path> </storage> <available>15032385536</available> <used>3221225472</used> <committed>0</committed> <storage_format>v1</storage_format> </storage_domain> </storage_domains> DEBUG: id=b2d11688-84ce-40ef-b10f-f036ac806cf9 address=192.168.200.108 path=/mnt/iso1 DEBUG: local NFS mount point is /tmp/tmpxG6M3H DEBUG: NFS mount command (/bin/mount -t nfs -o rw,sync,soft 192.168.200.108:/mnt/iso1 /tmp/tmpxG6M3H) DEBUG: /bin/mount -t nfs -o rw,sync,soft 192.168.200.108:/mnt/iso1 /tmp/tmpxG6M3H DEBUG: _cmds(['/bin/mount', '-t', 'nfs', '-o', 'rw,sync,soft', '192.168.200.108:/mnt/iso1', '/tmp/tmpxG6M3H']) DEBUG: returncode(0) DEBUG: STDOUT() DEBUG: STDERR() ERROR: FreeBSD-8.2-RELEASE-amd64-disc1.iso exists on 192.168.200.108.

Besides that my test VM is in status "Up", but I can't select the "console" option, it is grayed out. So maybe you can advise me how to get the first test VM working. I'd like to continue with further tests as soon as possible :-) Thanks - Frank

[Users] UPDATE: oVirt 3.1 release date changed
by Ofer Schreiber 24 Apr '12

24 Apr '12

Due to multiple integration issues (Java 7, Fedora 17 and JBoss official rpm support) we've decided to postpone the next release of oVirt [1] to June 27th. This one month delay will hopefully give us enough time to stabilize all the different layers of oVirt, and produce a better release. Stay tuned, -- Ofer Schreiber oVirt Release Manager [1] http://www.ovirt.org/wiki/Second_Release

[Users] Planning oVirt Workshops
by Leslie Hawthorn 24 Apr '12

24 Apr '12

(N.B.: This message was copied to users(a)ovirt.org but I am not clear if my subscription was approved. If you happen to note that this message did not get to that list, let me know.) Hello everyone, I am a new(ish) hire at Red Hat working on Carl Trieloff's team. I will be attending tomorrow's oVirt IRC meeting to provide an update on upcoming oVirt workshops, but in the interim wanted to circulate a proposed agenda. Please note that we're planning one day workshops at LinuxCon Japan, North America and Europe, as well as a 2 day workshop at NetApp HQ in California (target date 8 and 9th August 2012). As we're discussing workshop agendas for the one day events, it would be good to have an idea of what we'd like to present given the additional day. Here is a *very* preliminary agenda: - intro & arch - engine, vdsm deep dives - storage roadmap/discussion - network roadmap/discussion Open Questions: 1) What other topics should be covered during the workshop? 2) Who would like to volunteer to be an instructor? Cheers, LH -- Leslie Hawthorn Community Action and Impact Open Source and Standards @ Red Hat identi.ca/lh twitter.com/lhawthorn
