Creating vm from snapshot via API
by Aleksei Ivanovich 01 Oct '19

01 Oct '19

Hi. I'm trying to create vm from a snapshot using API. If I just provide the new vm name, source snapshot ID and cluster name the new vm is been created successfully on the same storage domain. But if I additionally provide diskattachments to create it on another storage I get error: "Cannot add VM. One or more provided storage domains are either not in active status or of an illegal type for the requested operation". I can't find the reason why I can't create vm on another storage via API while I can do the same via web-portal. My oVirt Engine version is 4.1.1.8-1.el7.centos. Here is my code: curl.exe -k -u "user@domain.suffix:*************" -H "Content-Type: application/xml" -H "Accept: application/xml" -X POST https://192.168.0.1/ovirt-engine/api/vms -d "<vm><name>vm-Test1</name><snapshots><snapshot id=\"4b73c79b-efed-4362-8843-91f5cc2d9775\"/></snapshots><cluster><name>MyCluster</name></cluster><disk_attachments><disk_attachment><disk><image_id>6525c157-4e73-440b-adc8-596f1d03ef3c</image_id><storage_domains><storage_domain id=\"52a003d7-cec1-473e-b521-1a551f55abd1\"/></storage_domains></disk></disk_attachment></disk_attachments></vm>" The answer is: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?> <fault> <detail>[Cannot add VM. One or more provided storage domains are either not in active status or of an illegal type for the requested operation.]</detail> <reason>Operation Failed</reason> </fault>

What happens when it complain that there is no VGs ? When you run 'vgs' what is the output? Also, take a look into https://www.redhat.com/archives/linux-lvm/2016-February/msg00012.html I have the feeling that you need to disable all lvs - not only the thin pool, but also the thin LVs (first).

Actually, I don't have any choice at the moment because it is a single node setup. :) I think this is a distributed volume from the research I have performed. I posted the lvchange command in my last post, this was the result- I ran the command lvchange -an /dev/gluster_vg1/lv_datadisks When I do this I get the message "Volume group "gluster_vg1" not found. Cannot process volume group gluster_vg1". I also tried the command the way you specified with just the LV and get the same results. > > I had placed the system in Global maintenance mode prior to the reboot. Upon reboot I got the messages about the various gluster volumes not being able to be mounted because of timeout issues. That is what started my OP. I think we are both thinking along the same lines regarding the issue. I think the question is how do you fix a volume that the system won't mount? It does seem likely that the thinpool needs to be repaired but what do you do if you can't even perform the first step in the procedure? > > _______________________________________________ > Users mailing list -- users(a)ovirt.org > To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave(a)ovirt.org > Privacy Statement: https://www.ovirt.org/site/privacy-policy/ > oVirt Code of Conduct: https://www.ovirt.org/community/about/community-guidelines/ > List Archives: https://lists.ovirt.org/archives/list/users@ovirt.org/message/2X73CAASB4UCO…

Re: How should ovirt-engine be repaired if it is hung up

1. Open VNC console and check the situation. Just like any other VM. 2. You can get the config via checking the vdsm log on the host where the system has started properly last time (as current situation is bad, check previous power up event). You can save the xml and use that to define the VM in virsh, but you also need to define ovirtmgmt network -> check in the web , as I don't have access to my systems right now. If virsh complaints about the disks - check that the storage domains' link is properly set to your storage.

Can you suffer downtime ? You can try something like this (I'm improvising): Set to global maintenance (either via UI or hosted-engine --set-maintenance --mode=global) Stop the engine. Stop ovirt-ha-agent ovirt-ha-broker vdsmd supervdsmd sanlock glusterd. Stop all gluster processes via thr script in /usr/share/gluster*..../something-named-kill Disable all LVs in the vg via: lvchange -an LV If it doesn't work try disabling the VG: vgchange -an VG and then enabling it again: vgchange -ay VG Last try to repair the thinpool via: lvchange --repair VG/thinpool Last disable the VG and give the system a reboot to verify everything works.

I don't think this is a replicated volume (though I could be wrong) I built a single node hyperconverged hypervisor. I was reviewing my gdeploy file from when I originally built the system. I have the following values: > PV = /dev/sda > VG1= gluster_vg1 > LV1= engine_lv (thick) > LV2 = gluster_vg1 thinpool > LV3 = lv_vmdisks (thinpooll) > LV4 = lv_datadisks (thinpool) > > So according to the article I read in my OP, it says to deactivate the volumes under the thin pool as the first step.

Cannot enable maintenance mode
by Bruno Martins 29 Sep '19

29 Sep '19

Hello guys, I am being unable to put a host from a two nodes cluster into maintenance mode in order to remove it from the cluster afterwards. This is what I see in engine.log: 2019-09-27 16:20:58,364 INFO [org.ovirt.engine.core.dal.dbbroker.auditloghandling.AuditLogDirector] (org.ovirt.thread.pool-6-thread-45) [4cc251c9] Correlation ID: 4cc251c9, Job ID: 65731fbb-db34-49a9-ab56-9fba59bc0ee0, Call Stack: null, Custom Event ID: -1, Message: Host CentOS-H1 cannot change into maintenance mode - not all Vms have been migrated successfully. Consider manual intervention: stopping/migrating Vms: Non interactive user (User: admin). Host has been rebooted multiple times. vdsClient shows no VM's running. What else can I do? Kind regards, Bruno Martins

If it's a replicated volume - then you can safely rebuild your bricks and don't even tryhto repair. There is no guarantee that the issue will not reoccur.

I see evidence that appears to be a problem with gluster. /var/log/messages has multiple occurrences of: WARNING: /dev/gluster_vg1/lv_<name>: Thin's tihin-pool needs inspection. Also, if I run vgs I am returned info for my other volume groups but not gluster_vg1. Lastly, when reviewing journalctl -xb | grep -i timed I see messages from systemd Job dev-gluster_vg1-lv_vmdisks.device/start timed.out. Timed out waiting for device dev-glustet_vg1-lv_vmdisks.device Thses messages are happening for both /dev/gluster_vg1/lv_datadisks /dev/gluster_vg1/lv_vmdisks I did review the article here but I am unable to change to VG1. https://mellowhost.com/billing/index.php?rp=/knowledgebase/65/How-to-Repair… Can anyone assist with a procedure on how to repair?

Re: Super Low VM disk IO via Shared Storage

Why don't you try with 4096 ? Most block devices have a blcok size of 4096 and anything bellow is slowing them down.

Changing certificates for oVirt 4.3.5
by TomK 28 Sep '19

28 Sep '19

Hey All, Would anyone have a more recent wiki on changing all certificates, including VDSM ones? Have this page but it's for version 3. https://access.redhat.com/solutions/2409751 Thinking the process didn't change much but wanted to ask if there's anything more recent floating around. -- Thx, TK.
