Re: Slow disk upload via WebGUI

A note to this is that we are migrating a couple of customers from a vmware enviroment that we have no control over, we get the vmdk files on a NFS share. its a bit over 130 VM:s and if every disk will go at 100mbit/s its quite a painful process. Is there a faster way to import these disk images other then via WebGUI? (of course after convert) //Magnus ________________________________ From: Magnus Isaksson <magnus(a)vmar.se> Sent: 06 June 2020 10:58 To: users <users(a)ovirt.org> Subject: [ovirt-users] Slow disk upload via WebGUI Hello I'm running Engine 4.3.9 and have fibre channel SSD storage and 4 nodes.

Q: Which types of tests and tools are used?
by Juergen Novak 05 Jun '20

05 Jun '20

Hi, can anybody help me to find some information about test types used in the project and tools used? Particularly interesting would be tools and tests used for the Python coding, but also any information about Java would be appreciated. I already scanned the documentation, but I mainly found only information about Mocking tools. Thank you! /juergen

Ovirt 4.4 Migration assistance needed.
by Strahil Nikolov 05 Jun '20

05 Jun '20

Hello All, I would like to ask for some assistance with the planing of the upgrade to 4.4 . I have issues with the OVN (doesn't work at all), thus I would like to start fresh with the HE. The plan so far (downtime is not an issue) : 1. Reinstall the nodes one by 1 and rejoin them in the Gluster TSP 2. Wipe the HostedEngine's gluster volume 3. Deploy a fresh hosted engine 4. Import the storage domains (gluster) back to the engine and import the VMs Do you see any issues with the plan ? Any problems expected if the VMs do have snapshots? What about the storage domain version ? Thanks in Advance. Best Regards, Strahil Nikolov

Gluster error in server log.
by Krist van Besien 05 Jun '20

05 Jun '20

Hello all, On my ovirt HC cluster I constantly get the following kinds of errors: From /var/log/ovirt-engine/engine.log 2020-06-05 10:38:36,652+02 WARN [org.ovirt.engine.core.vdsbroker.gluster.GlusterVolumesListReturn] (EE-ManagedScheduledExecutorService-engineScheduledThreadPool-Thread-15) [] Could not associate brick 'on1.ws.kri.st:/gluster_bricks/vmstore/vmstore' of volume 'dab47af2-16fc-461d-956e-daab00c8489e' with correct network as no gluster network found in cluster 'a8a38ffe-a499-11ea-9471-00163e5ffe63' Normally you get these errors if you forgot to define and assign a storage network. However I do have a storage network, have assigned it to the interface used by gluster on each host, and have set it as the “gluster” network in the default cluster. So why am I still getting this error? Krist Vriendelijke Groet | Best Regards | Freundliche Grüße | Cordialement Krist van Besien krist.vanbesien(a)gmail.com

Hi Leo, As you do not have a distributed volume , you can easily switch to replica 2 arbiter 1 or replica 3 volumes.

oVirt 4.4 node via PXE and custom kickstart
by Michael Thomas 04 Jun '20

04 Jun '20

I'm trying to customize a node install to include some local management and monitoring tools, starting with puppet, following the instructions here: https://ovirt.org/documentation/installing_ovirt_as_a_self-hosted_engine_us… The installation of the ovirt node works, and I can deploy the engine once it's running. However, while the extra steps in the %post section of my kickstart are working, any additional 'repo' and %package settings seem to get ignored (even though they were copied from known working kickstart files). What kickstart customizations are supported when deploying a node via PXE? My PXE menu looks like this: menuentry 'Ovirt node' { linuxefi ovirt/vmlinuz ip=dhcp ks=http://10.13.5.13/kickstart/ovirt.cfg ksdevice=link initrd=ovirt/initrd.img inst.stage2=http://10.13.5.13/rhvh initrdefi ovirt/initrd.img } My kickstart file is as follows: liveimg --url=http://10.13.5.13/rhvh/ovirt-node-ng-image.squashfs.img clearpart --all --initlabel autopart --type=thinp zerombr rootpw --plaintext ovirt timezone --utc America/Chicago text reboot # This will need to be updated to point to the 'frozen' snapshot, when available repo --install --name="EPEL" --baseurl=http://10.13.5.13/mirror/linux/epel/8/Everything/x86_64 --cost=99 repo --install --name="Puppet" --baseurl=http://10.13.5.13/mirror/linux/puppetlabs/puppet6/el/8/x86_64 --cost=98 %packages puppet-agent %end %post --erroronfail nodectl init echo "This is a test" > /etc/test.txt %end --Mike

oVirt 4.4 install fails
by Me 04 Jun '20

04 Jun '20

Hi All Not sure where to start, but here goes. I'm not totally new to oVirt, I used RHEV V3.x in production for several years, it was a breeze to setup. Installing 4.4 on to a host with local SSD and FC for storage. Issue 1, having selected the SSD for install which has failed 4.4 beta on it (several times), I reclaim the space and after a few minutes of not being able to enter a root password on the next install screen, it fails as it can't delete the data on the SSD! Yes, really tried this several times, choosing the recover option and getting a prompt, fdisk /dev/sda delete the two partitions created by oVirt and I can install. This was the case with the beta I tried a few weeks ago too. Having reconfigured the switch attached the the host as a dumb 10GBE port as the enterprise OS installer still doesn't appear to support anything more advanced like teaming and VLANS, I have the initial install on the single SSD and a network connection. Issue 2, I use FF 72.0.2 on Linux x64 to connect by https://hostname:9090 to the web interface, but I can't enter login details as the boxes (everything) are disabled???? There is no warning like "we don't like your choice of browser", but the screen is a not very accessible dark grey on darker grey (a poor choice in what I thought were more enlightened times) so this maybe the case. I have disabled all security add-ons in FF, makes no difference. Any suggestions? M
