Re: [ovirt-users] Live migration of VM(0 downtime) while Hypervisor goes down in ovirt
by Luca 'remix_tj' Lorenzetto 11 Feb '18

What you're looking at is called fault tolerance in other hypervisors. As far as i know, ovirt doesn't implement such solution. But if your system doesn't support failure recovery done by high availability options, you should take in account to revise your application architecture if you want to keep running on ovirt.

We need a continuous availability of VM's in our production setup. If the hypervisor goes down due to any hardware failure or work load then VM's above hypervisor will reboot and started on available hypervisors. This is normally happening but it disrupting VM's. Can you suggest a solution in this case? Can we achieve this challenge using glusterfs?

I think there are two parts to achieving this: 1. Have a script that migrates VMs off a specific host. This should be easy to write using the Python/Ruby/Java SDK, Ansible or using REST directly. 2. Having this script run as a service when a host shuts down, in the right order - well before libvirt and VDSM shut down, and would be fast enough not to be terminated by systemd. This is a bit more challenging. Who's shutting down the hypervisor? (Or perhaps it is shutdown externally, due to overheating or otherwise?) Y. Using glusterfs is it possible? Then how?

VM backups - Bacchus
by Niyazi Elvan 11 Feb '18

11 Feb '18

Dear Friends, It has been a while I could not have time to work on Bacchus. This weekend I created an ansible playbook to replace the installation procedure. You simply download installer.yml and settings.yml files from git repo and run the installer as "ansible-playbook installer.yml" Please check it at https://github.com/openbacchus/bacchus . I recommend you to run the installer on a fresh VM, which has no MySQL DB or previous installation. Hope this helps to more people and please let me know about your ideas. ps. Regarding oVirt 4.2, I had a chance to look at it and tried the new domain type "Backup Domain". This is really cool feature and I am planning to implement the support in Bacchus. Hopefully, CBT will show up soon and we will have a better world :) King Regards, -- Niyazi Elvan

Maximum time node can be offline.
by Thomas Letherby 11 Feb '18

11 Feb '18

Hello all, Is there a maximum length of time an Ovirt Node 4.2 based host can be offline in a cluster before it would have issues when powered back on? The reason I ask is in my lab I currently have a three node cluster that works really well, however a lot of the time I only actually need the resources of one host, so to save power I'd like to keep the other two offline until needed. I can always script them to boot once a week or so if I need to. Thanks, Thomas

Virt-viewer not working over VPN
by Vincent Royer 09 Feb '18

09 Feb '18

Hi, I asked this on the virt-viewer list, but it appears to be dead, so my apologies if this isn't the right place for this question. When I access my vm's locally using virt-viewer on windows clients, everything works fine, spice or vnc. When I access the same vm's remotely over a site-to-site VPN (setup between the two firewalls), it fails with an error: unable to connect to libvirt with uri: [none]. Similarly I cannot connect in a browser-based vnc session (cannot connect to host). I can resolve the DNS of the server from my remote client (domain override in the firewall pointing to the DNS server locally) and everything else I do seems completely unaware of the vpn link (SSH, RDP, etc). For example connecting to https://ovirt-enginr.mydomain.com works as expected. The only function not working remotely is virt-viewer. Any clues would be appreciated!

I have never seen such issue with hosted Linux VMs. The cluster has enough storage to accommodate the clone. Thanx, Alex

Cannot Remove Disk

Ovirt 4.2 has been humming away quite nicely for me in the last few months, and now I am hitting an issue when try to touch any api call that has to do with a specific disk. This disk resides on a hyperconverged DC, and none of the other disks seem to be affected. Here is the error thrown. 2018-02-08 10:13:20,005-05 ERROR [org.ovirt.engine.core.bll.storage.disk.RemoveDiskCommand] (default task-22) [7b48d1ec-53a7-497a-af8e-938f30a321cf] Error during ValidateFailure.: org.ovirt.engine.core.bll.quota.InvalidQuotaParametersException: Quota 6156b8dd-50c9-4e8f-b1f3-4a6449b02c7b does not match storage pool 5a497956-0380-021e-0025-00000000035e Any ideas what can be done to fix this?

Hi, Is there any problem to use the "hosted_engine" data domain to put disk of others VM? I have created a "too big" "hosted_engine" data domain so I want to use that space... Thank you

Info about exporting from vSphere

Hello, I have this ind of situation. Source env: It is vSphere 6.5 (both vCenter Server appliance and ESXi hosts) where I have an admin account to connect to, but currently only to vCenter and not to the ESXi hosts The VM to be migrated is Windows 2008 R2 SP1 with virtual hw version 8 (ESXi 5.0 and later) and has one boot disk 35Gb and one data disk 250Gb. The SCSI controller is LSI logic sas and network vmxnet3 It has no snapshots at the moment I see in my oVirt 4.1.9 that I can import from: 1) VMware 2) VMware Virtual Appliance and found also related documentations in RHEV 4.1 Virtual Machine Management pdf Some doubts: - what is the best between the 2 methods if I can chose? Their Pros&Cons? - Does 1) imply that I also need the ESXi account? Currently my windows domain account that gives me access to vcenter doesn't work connecting to ESXi hosts - also it seems that 1) is more intrusive, while for 2) I only need to put the ova file into some nfs share... Thanks in advance, Gianluca
