Re: Creating a static route

Hi Doug, Sorry that it took a bit of time to get back to you. Managed to catch today somebody from the oVirt/RHV network team to discuss the issue. It seems that we don't currently support custom static routes on the hosts, so the workaround that I suggested is the way to do it.

Problem installing hyperconverged setup
by paul＠agile.uk.com 14 Feb '19

14 Feb '19

Hi, I am currently setting up an Ovirt cluster in a test environment and cannot get the hyperconverged setup to run properly. I have installed 3 nodes on version 4.2.8. I keep getting the following error - TASK [Create LVs with specified size for the VGs] ****************************** failed: [node01.ovirt.local] (item={u'lv': u'gluster_thinpool_sdb', u'size': u'1005GB', u'extent': u'100%FREE', u'vg': u'gluster_vg_sdb'}) => {"changed": false, "item": {"extent": "100%FREE", "lv": "gluster_thinpool_sdb", "size": "1005GB", "vg": "gluster_vg_sdb"}, "msg": " WARNING: Pool zeroing and 3.00 MiB large chunk size slows down thin provisioning.\n WARNING: Consider disabling zeroing (-Zn) or using smaller chunk size (<512.00 KiB).\n Volume group \"gluster_vg_sdb\" has insufficient free space (157261 extents): 343040 required.\n", "rc": 5} to retry, use: --limit @/tmp/tmpbXqHhw/lvcreate.retry All 3 nodes have an /sdb installed which are different sizes but all in excess of 450Gb. I have specified JBOD in the setup. I have tried reducing the size of the engine, data and vmstore bricks to 50Gb each instead of the default but the installation still fails. I think it has something to do with the thin provisioning but not sure what. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks Paul.

Deleted Hosted Engine
by Manny SyS 14 Feb '19

14 Feb '19

I have to deal with this oVirt 4.2 cluster, 4 nodes. It seems someone smartly deleted hosted engine vm... how cool... so, all the VMs are still running, but no cluster management anymore :-). It's a testing environment, no hosted engine backup. I have no problems reinstalling the cluster... but I'd love to rescue the VMs... so I'm trying to understand what options I do have, so I ask you please if you have some hints, or maybe links to the right documentation. - ssh to any ovirt cluster node and export the vms with virsh? possible? - ssh to any ovirt cluster node and live migrate all the vms on one node? so that I can reinstall a new cluster on the freed nodes? Wondering which one is the correct path to do this... btw, virsh only works in readonly in ovirt cluster nodes - it's a testing environment, so I could shutdown everything, reinstall a new cluster, reconnect the old storage to the new cluster... question is, how to reimport all the vms in the new cluster. Please any suggestions?

ovirt-guest-agent is still needed?
by Vinícius Ferrão 14 Feb '19

14 Feb '19

Hello, I heard that ovirt-guest-agent is now deprecated and qemu-guest-agent should be used instead. As today I still install the ovirt-guest-agent from EPEL in my EL guests, but should I continue doing this or using the shipped qemu-guest-agent should be used instead? What about Windows guests? Any modification needed? Thanks,

engine-iso-uploader taking a REALLY long time
by zachary.winter＠vcwise.com 13 Feb '19

13 Feb '19

I am noticing that the engine-iso-uploader tool on oVirt 4.2.7 (running on CentOS 7.6.1810) takes a very long time to load individual ISO's, usually on the order of hours for a single ISO. Is this normal?

Windows 2016 guest auto shutdown
by aminur.rahman＠iongroup.com 13 Feb '19

13 Feb '19

I am using ovirt hosted engine 4.2 to manage 5 nodes cluster and Dell Compellent storage domain using ISCSI. The guest is running Windows 2016 OS with ovirt 4.2.4 guest tools installed. The guest presented 1.4 TB thin provision disks and very often, the VM goes offline while doing big file transfer. I didn't find any event errors on OS level. I am wondering if anyone has experienced this issue. Thanks -Aminur

Agentless Backup update: Trilio Vault, pay $7500
by femi adegoke 13 Feb '19

13 Feb '19

Back in June of 2018, I posted regarding Agentless backup solutions. Greg Sheremeta replied & mentioned Trilio. The rest of the story...well just read on... These guys at Trilio have turned out to be a complete waste of time. (I could use some more colorful language) After my post & reply from Greg Sheremeta, I followed up with Trilio. A lot of promises/dates were made (by Trilio) as to when a beta would be made available for testing. Needless to say, they never came through. Finally in Dec 2018, they said we are ready for the demo, we will show you a working product. The day came, Trilio said, sorry it's too close to Xmas, we will postpone the demo's till 2019. In 2019, I continued to follow up & finally they set a date for another demo - Jan 29. On Jan. 29, we get on the Webex, they said, sorry the demo just broke 10 mins prior to our call, so no demo. They show me some screenshots & their OpenStack version & again promise to get me beta software in a few days. I continue to follow up (via email) Yesterday (Feb 6), I get an email from Thomas Lahive GM; Sales and Alliance Partners....(copied & pasted below): "We started RHV betas and decided to prioritize current Trilio customers (those that purchased Triliovault for Openstack). If you would like to be part of the beta now then We can sign you up as a certified Trilio reseller which has a $7,500 Starter Fee. The $7,500 will be credited against your first customer order that is at least $7,500 so it will eventually cost you nothing. Many of our partners can apply the fee against revenue so it's a great tax incentive, but you can confirm with your finance department. Please Lmk how you would like to proceed." Please remember, I have never seen a working demo of this product, never. Is this typical behavior of RH partners?

Problems with procedure in blog post...
by Jason P. Thomas 13 Feb '19

13 Feb '19

rgolan asked me to post this here for him. I'm trying the procedure from this blog post: https://ovirt.org/blog/2019/01/ovirt-openshift-part-1.html Ultimate goal is to install ovirt metrics store. I've tried vars.yaml with and without the ovirt metrics stuff commented out. The errors seem to revolve around downloading the centos qcow2c image. With image_path: "{{ lookup('env', 'HOME') }}/Downloads/{{ template_name }}.qcow2" defined, I get the following error: fatal: [localhost]: FAILED! => {"msg": "The task includes an option with an undefined variable. The error was: 'dict object' has no attribute 'isdir'\n\nThe error appears to have been in '/usr/share/ansible/roles/ovirt.image-template/tasks/qcow2_image.yml': line 12, column 3, but may\nbe elsewhere in the file depending on the exact syntax problem.\n\nThe offending line appears to be:\n\n\n- name: Download the qcow image\n ^ here\n"} If I comment out the above image_path line and uncomment the one at the bottom of vars.yaml that specifies /var/tmp, I get this error: fatal: [localhost]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "cmd": "/usr/bin/file /var/tmp/CentOS-7-x86_64-GenericCloud.qcow2c", "msg": "[Errno 2] No such file or directory", "rc": 2} --Jason
