Best Practice? Affinity Rules Enforcement Manager or High Availability?
by souvaliotimaria＠mail.com 31 Dec '20

Hello everyone, Not sure if I should ask this here as it seems to be a pretty obvious question but here it is. What is the best solution for making your VMs able to automatically boot up on another working host when something goes wrong (gluster problem, non responsive host etc)? Would you enable the Affinity Manager and enforce some policies or would you set the VMs you want as Highly Available? Thank you very much for your time! Best regards, Maria Souvalioti

Then to migrate, you just need to power off the VM, Edit -> change cluster, network, etc and power it up. It will start on the hosts in the new cluster and then you just need to verify that the application is working properly. Best Regards, Strahil Nikolov

Breaking up a oVirt cluster on storage domain boundary.
by Matthew.Stier＠fujitsu.com 30 Dec '20

Is it possible to break up an oVirt cluster into multiple clusters? I have an Oracle Linux Virtualization Manager 4.3.6 cluster (think oVirt 4.3.6) that is hosting four different classes of VM's. I have acquired some additional hosts, and instead of adding them to my "default" cluster, I want to create three new clusters, and migrate each class of VM to its own cluster. Each class has its own network, and storage domains. Can I migrate storage domains, and thus all the VMs within that storage domain? Or will I need to build new cluster, with new storage domains, and migrate the VMs? Most of my VMs are built from templates. I assume that those cloned from templates will not be an issue. But some of my classes are thin provisioned, and I suspect I will have an issue with migrating those at the VM level, which is why I want to migrate them at the storage domain level.

Shrink iSCSI Domain
by Vinícius Ferrão 29 Dec '20

29 Dec '20

Hello, Is there any way to reduce the size of an iSCSI Storage Domain? I can’t seem to figure this myself. It’s probably unsupported, and the path would be create a new iSCSI Storage Domain with the reduced size and move the virtual disks to there and them delete the old one. But I would like to confirm if this is the only way to do this… In the past I had a requirement, so I’ve created the VM Domains with 10TB, now it’s just too much, and I need to use the space on the storage for other activities. Thanks all and happy new year.

Re: New to oVirt - HE and Metric Store Question

I can't recall the exact issue that was reported in the mailing list, but I remember that the user had to power off the engine and the VMs... the Devs can clearly indicate the risks of running the HostedEngine with other VMs on the same storage domain. Based on Red Hat's RHV documentation the following warning is clearly indicating some of the reasons: Creating additional data storage domains in the same data center as the self-hosted engine storage domain is highly recommended. If you deploy the self-hosted engine in a data center with only one active data storage domain, and that storage domain is corrupted, you will not be able to add new storage domains or remove the corrupted storage domain; you will have to redeploy the self-hosted engine.

Cannot run yum, no internet connection on a oVirt node
by jenia.ivlev＠gmail.com 28 Dec '20

Hello. I need help setting up the networking on the "self hosted engine" VM. I can't run yum in the self-hosted engine [1], there seems not to be any internet connection. I get the error "couldn't resolve host: mirrors.fedoraproject.org. Same thing when I do cURL google.com for example. Also I can't ssh to this VM from my physical machine either. I get "connection refused". I can ping the "self-hosted engine" VM though. Here is the output of ip addr on the "self hosted engine" VM: 2. enp1s0: .... state UP link/ether 52.54.... 3. virbr0: ... state DOWN inet 192.168.122.1 Here is the ip addr output on the host machine: 3. virbr0: ... state UP inet 192.168.122.1 Can someone please help me setup networking on the "self hosted engine" VM. Thanks kindly. Happy holidays. [1] https://www.ovirt.org/documentation/installing_ovirt_as_a_self-hosted_engin…
