[Users] engine setup failes using seprate /usr partition

Running engine-setup fails when using a seperate /var partion (seperated from /) In /var/log/ovirt-engine/engine-setup_xxxxxxx.log: 2012-02-18 14:46:16::ERROR::engine-setup::614::root:: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/engine-setup", line 612, in _linkHttpParams os.link(target, link) OSError: [Errno 18] Invalid cross-device link 2012-02-18 14:46:16::ERROR::engine-setup::728::root:: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/engine-setup", line 712, in _editRootWar _linkHttpParams() File "/usr/bin/engine-setup", line 615, in _linkHttpParams raise Exception(output_messages.ERR_EXP_FAILED_ROOT_WAR) Exception: Could not copy ROOT.war configuration into Jboss profile The installer tries to make a hard link to somewhere is /usr to /etc/ovirt-engine, which is not possible since /usr is on a separate disk partition. One can solve it to move /etc/overt-engine to /usr/local/etc/ovirt-engine en create a symbolic link in /etc/ I would like to report a bug, where can do this?

[Users] How to migrate the Ovirt management server/frontend to another machine ? (what files are needed, etc)
by Morgan Cox 28 Feb '12

28 Feb '12

Hi. As we are using Fedora16 as the OS on the frontend I would like to know what files/DB's, etc are needed to migrate the management server/frontend to another machine? I ask as the support life of Fedora is not too long, so for example when FC17 is released I would like to migrate the machine to that - by migrate I mean backup and re-install. Is there any info anywhere showing what files I would need to migrate/backup to a new frontend server? - I assume its going to be a DB and several files - I would just like to know for sure. Ovirt looks really nice btw - thank you to all who made this possible. As a 2nd question - is there an ETA from when RHEL packages are going to be ready? Many regards

[Users] LDAP SimpleAuthentication issue.
by Sharad Mishra 28 Feb '12

28 Feb '12

Hi, I am new to ovirt and LDAP. Looking at adding support for Tivoli Directory Server. Here is a small java/jndi program (not using Spring LDAP) that takes IBM intranet Id and searches the directory to return IBM serial number. ********* Hashtable env = new Hashtable(); env.put("java.naming.factory.initial", "com.sun.jndi.ldap.LdapCtxFactory"); env.put("java.naming.factory.url.pkgs", "com.ibm.jndi"); env.put("java.naming.provider.url", "ldap://<ldap-server>:389"); String dn = null; try{ InitialDirContext dirContext = new InitialDirContext(env); SearchControls constraints = new SearchControls(); String[] attr = new String[] {"uid"}; constraints.setSearchScope(SearchControls.SUBTREE_SCOPE); constraints.setReturningAttributes(attr); NamingEnumeration ne = dirContext.search("ou=<ldpap-server-name>,o=ibm.com", "(mail=" + intranetID + ")", constraints); ************** But when I try to use org.ovirt.engine.core.utils.ipa.SimpleAuthenticationCheck.java, I get a "javax.naming.AuthenticationException: [LDAP: error code 49 - Invalid Credentials]" I am issuing - ldapTemplate.search("", "", contextMapper); Where contextMapper is RHDSUserContextMapper and screenshots of ldapTemplate are attached. There may be issues with the way I have setup filter and baseDN; but that should not give AuthEx. At this time I am looking for ways to get rid of authentication exception. Also, when using simple authentication, why do I need to give password? I can run "ldapsearch -LLL "(mail=<intranetID>)" -h <ldap-server>:389 -x" without password to give me expected results. Thanks Sharad Mishra IBM

[Users] Newly created VM will not start. Bad permissions on its virtual disk.
by Terry Phelps 27 Feb '12

27 Feb '12

I have a newly installed ovirt engine, and node. I created a new VM, gave it a virtual disk, and a network, attached my one ISO that I have out there, and tried to start it. It failed. The admin portal error messages say: 2012-Feb-27, 15:40:10 Failed to run VM oel-test (User: admin@internal). 2012-Feb-27, 15:40:10 Failed to run VM oel-test on Host oravm2. 2012-Feb-27, 15:40:10 VM oel-test is down. Exit message unable to open disk path /rhev/data-center/f465251e- 5679-11e1-ba81-97917332892e/24b70dff-549e-46a6-a863-3a158aa6e9a3/images/c07482cb-818f-47b7-97d1-1409909408bb/e1e57887-e660-4191-87a0-5eac7a44f2d7: Permission denied. 2012-Feb-27, 15:40:08 VM oel-test was started by admin@internal (Host: oravm2). When I go to the node, and check, the permissions do indeed look bad. vdsm:kvm owns everything down through /rhev/data-center/f465251e-5679-11e1-ba81-97917332892e/24b70dff-549e-46a6-a863-3a158aa6e9a3, but below that, it looks bad. Here is a "ls -l" of that last directory: # ls -l total 8 drwxr-xr-x. 2 4294967294 4294967294 4096 Feb 23 16:22 dom_md drwxr-xr-x. 3 4294967294 4294967294 4096 Feb 27 16:22 images And then the owner and group of everything below 'images' is bad, too. Can some help me determine what happened? And how to fix it?

Sorry for the new thread but I just joined the list. The following excerpt from Nathan Stratton's 389DS log shows the same thing that I've been seeing when trying to use IPA. It appears that the directory server type is being misidentified as active directory hence the search on samaccounttype and userprincipalname. [23/Feb/2012:18:33:34 +0000] conn=50 op=3 SRCH base="dc=blinkmind,dc=net" scope=2 filter="(&(samaccounttype=805306368)(userprincipalname=nathan at BLINKMIND.NET <http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users>))" attrs="nsUniqueId ipaUniqueID objectguid objectClass javaSerializedData javaClassName javaFactory javaCodebase javaReferenceAddress javaClassNames javaremotelocation"
