Self Hosted Engine installation - does the OVEHOSTED_NETWORK/gateway parameter have an "overloaded" meaning?
by Giuseppe Ragusa 12 Mar '18

12 Mar '18

Hi all, I have a question about the best interpretation/choice for the installation parameter OVEHOSTED_NETWORK/gateway It is my understanding that the IP specified as OVEHOSTED_NETWORK/gateway will be used (by means of ping) to verify the ongoing network-wise status of oVirt cluster nodes, with any problems leading to classifications/actions which could even bring to fencing of the "faulty" node. If this is the case, I find it debatable that such a role should be referred to as "gateway", since (particularly in small setups) it should be delegated to an always reachable IP, not connected to mundane tasks such as routers/gateways: Internet (or wider network) reachability (think of an old, cheap router whose power supply starts to misbehave/fail...) should not determine the status of the local oVirt cluster, whose nodes tipically could be directly connected (especially wrt the management ovirtmgmt network) on the same network segment without any need for routing. I suggest that in such a small setup, the console IP of something like the central (managed and stackable) switch could be used: if the central switch (ie all the stacked parts of it) goes down, then really there will be no communication betweeen nodes anyway. It is also my understanding that the above mentioned OVEHOSTED_NETWORK/gateway parameter is automatically passed to cloud-init to configure the actual default gateway of the Self Hosted Engine appliance, without any means to override this choice with an ad-hoc specialized parameter. If this is the case, I think that, in light of the above mentioned scenario, a specific override could be provided, without requirying the admin to reconfigure the appliance after it is deployed (by the way: the appliance, at least in version 4.1.9, does not contain the NetworkManager-glib package, so Ansible playbooks trying to configure the default gateway by means of the nmcli module always fail, and without working default gateway it is not so easy to add packages... think chicken and egg... :-) ). Any thoughts/suggestions? Many thanks in advance. Best regards, Giuseppe

Auto-restart VM from Linux Shell
by Andrei Verovski 12 Mar '18

12 Mar '18

Hi ! I have stubborn VM which time to time freezes, and watchdog for whatever reason don't restart it. Basically I would like to combine these 3 command into one script. ovirt-shell -l https://node00.mydomain.com.lv/ovirt-engine/api --ca-file="/etc/pki/ovirt-engine/ca.pem" -u "admin@internal" --password "secret" action vm MyVM stop action vm MyVM start Now I have problems. 1) Option --password "secret" is not recognized anymore in oVirt Shell 4.2. 2) What is the proper syntax to connect & run certain command in oVirt Shell 4.2? Something like: ovirt-shell -l https://node00.mydomain.com.lv/ovirt-engine/api --ca-file="/etc/pki/ovirt-engine/ca.pem" -u "admin@internal" --password "secret" && action vm MyVM stop Thanks in advance Andrei

I am trying to setup Ovirt with a self hosted engine and NFS storage for said engine. The storage appears to mounting OK, but when it gets to the point that it is initializing the lockspace it fails spectacularly and shows a Python traceback which I cleaned up and have included below: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/runpy.py", line 162, in _run_module_as_main "__main__", fname, loader, pkg_name) File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/runpy.py", line 72, in _run_code exec code in run_globals File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/ovirt_hosted_engine_setup/reinitialize_lockspace.py", line 30, in <module> ha_cli.reset_lockspace(force) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/ovirt_hosted_engine_ha/client/client.py", line 270, in reset_lockspace stats = broker.get_stats_from_storage() File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/ovirt_hosted_engine_ha/lib/brokerlink.py", line 135, in get_stats_from_storage result = self._proxy.get_stats() File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/xmlrpclib.py", line 1233, in __call__ return self.__send(self.__name, args) File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/xmlrpclib.py", line 1587, in __request verbose=self.__verbose File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/xmlrpclib.py", line 1273, in request return self.single_request(host, handler, request_body, verbose) File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/xmlrpclib.py", line 1301, in single_request self.send_content(h, request_body) File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/xmlrpclib.py", line 1448, in send_content connection.endheaders(request_body) File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/httplib.py", line 1013, in endheaders self._send_output(message_body) File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/httplib.py", line 864, in _send_output self.send(msg) File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/httplib.py", line 826, in send self.connect() File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/ovirt_hosted_engine_ha/lib/unixrpc.py", line 52, in connect self.sock.connect(base64.b16decode(self.host)) File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/socket.py", line 224, in meth return getattr(self._sock,name)(*args) socket.error: [Errno 2] No such file or directory The messier ansible output is below: [ INFO ] TASK [Initialize lockspace volume] [ ERROR ] fatal: [localhost]: FAILED!

PostgreSQL tuning in oVirt
by Hari Prasanth Loganathan 12 Mar '18

12 Mar '18

Hi Team, We increased the number of threads in Apache web server and JBoss and we are able to scale up to 500 concurrent requests in oVirt. But after the long run, we are getting the below error from PostgreSQL but the oVirt is still running successfully. org.springframework.dao.DataAccessResourceFailureException: PreparedStatementCallback; SQL [select * from getvdcoptionbyname(?, ?)]; This connection has been closed.; nested exception is org.postgresql.util.PSQLException: This connection has been closed. 1) Could somebody explain this error? 2) What are the tuning parameters for PostgreSQL?

Failure to upgrade Cluster Compatibility Version
by Jonathan Mathews 12 Mar '18

12 Mar '18

I have been upgrading my oVirt platform from 3.4 and I am trying to get to 4.2. I have managed to get the platform to 3.6, but need to upgrade the Cluster Compatibility Version. When I select 3.6 in the Cluster Compatibility Version and select OK, it highlights Compatibility Version in red, (image attached). There are no errors been displayed on screen, or in the /var/log/ovirt-engine/engine.log file. Please let me know if I am missing something and how I can resolve this? Thanks Jonathan

Weekly fstrim & Ubuntu 16.04 LTS guest freeze
by Andrei Verovski 12 Mar '18

12 Mar '18

Hi ! I have stubborn VM (Ubuntu 16.04 LTS) which randomly freezes about each 2 - 3 weeks at weekends (when load is close to zero). No updates or kernel upgrades help. Freeze is not detected by oVirt watchdog and VM is not automatically restarted. Since it happens only on weekends, I suspect some weekly cron job may cause this. Ubuntu 16.04 LTS is installed on qcow2 disk image (thin provision). is it possible that fstrim (which discards / trims unused blocks) is a source of this problem ? Thanks in advance Andrei
