correct settings for gluster based storage domain
by Artem Tambovskiy 19 Jan '18

19 Jan '18

I'm still troubleshooting the my oVirt 4.1.8 cluster and idea came to my mind that I have an issue with storage settings for hosted_engine storage domain. But in general if I have a 2 ovirt nodes running gluster + 3rd host as arbiter, how the settings should looks like? lets say I have a 3 nodes: ovirt1.domain.com (gluster + ovirt) ovirt2.domain.com (gluster + ovirt) ovirt3.domain.com (gluster) How the correct storage domain config should looks like? Option 1: /etc/ovirt-hosted-engine/hosted-engine.conf .... storage=ovirt1.domain.com:/engine mnt_options=backup-volfile-servers=ovirt2.domain.com:ovirt3.domain.com Option 2: /etc/ovirt-hosted-engine/hosted-engine.conf .... storage=localhost:/engine mnt_options=backup-volfile-servers=ovirt1.domain.com:ovirt2.domain.com:o virt3.domain.com Option 3: Setup a DNS record gluster.domain.com pointing to IP addresses of gluster nodes /etc/ovirt-hosted-engine/hosted-engine.conf .... storage=gluster.domain.com:/engine mnt_options= Of course its related not only to hosted engine domain, but to all gluster based storage domains. Thank you in advance! Regards, Artem

Q: Optimal settings for DB hosting
by andreil1 19 Jan '18

19 Jan '18

Hi ! What is optimal setting for oVirt KVM guests for database hosting on Xeon server (2 x Xeon 4-core each) (in my case this is Firebird based accounting/stock control system with several clients active)? 1st of course its preallocated disk image. VirtO-SCSI enabled Migration disabled. Balloning disabled. CPU shares disabled Pass-through host CPU enabled What should be other CPU settings? For example, Xeon have 2 threads per core, should I set in oVirt 1 or 2 threads per virtual CPU? IO Threads on or off? Any idea of NUMA settings ? Node running 4 VMs total, CPU load is quite low, RAM is enough to preallocate for each VM + 4GB for node itself. Thanks in advance ! Andrei

The future of backups in oVirt 4.2+
by Jayme 19 Jan '18

19 Jan '18

I've been running a non-production oVirt setup for a while and plan on building a more robust oVirt setup for eventual production use. Part of that planning of course is backup/disaster recovery options. I've been playing around with a few options to backup oVirt, I'm sure most of you are aware of them. The github webfix it python scripts, and starting to look at bacchus as well although have not set it up or tested bacchus yet. The webfix it python script is fairly simple to setup and seems to work ok as intended, even on 4.2, but it's definitely clunky in terms of having to snapshot, clone, export. A lot of resource usage. I assume bacchus most likely uses the same method of snapshot/clone/export as well (due to what was available in oVirt at the time these scripts were written). My concerns with using something like these are: 1. It's using old 3x api -- which is fine for now but probably not with oVirt 4.3 2. Inefficient / resource intensive 3. Using export domain which is depreciated >From what I've read in oVirt documentation the Export domain is depreciated. I assume that this means that instead of a export domain you could instead create a regular data domain for backups that can be detached and attached to another environment, is that the correct assumption? I've also read that it might be possible to skip the cloning of the VM part and export snapshots directly. Is this now possible in 4.2 or will be in the future? if it is possible to perform VM backups without cloning to a new VM first is anyone aware of any scripts/software that is available now which takes advantage of that? Essentially all I want is a simple solution to backup my VMs to separate NFS storage. If for some reason my main storage crashes I then have the option to connect that backup NFS storage to a secondary stand alone oVirt instance and run my VMs from there until the primary oVirt instance is repaired. What I want to avoid is implementing an older more inefficient solution that might work for a while but will eventually no longer work due to ovIrt updates in the future. I know options like active-active failover and georeplication exist but that may be too complex for my needs although I would be interested in hearing about how some of you may be implementing these features. In summary, I'd trying to figure out what the best backup option may be going forward with oVirt in the future so I can implement the best option from the start rather than having to change it all around in the near future. Thanks!

Zombie kworker process on node took 100% CPU load
by Andrei V 18 Jan '18

18 Jan '18

Hi, I've got strange problem with oVirt Node 4.2 installed on CentOS 7 with mainline 4.14 kernel & HP ProLiant ML350. Kworker process loaded 1 cpu CPU core at 100%, and since it didn't finish even after several hours, it was clearly a zombie. I logged into each VM, and powered them off with "shutdown now". From SPICE console it was seen VMs halted. However, in oVirt engine web they have been marked with tripple green down arrow. An attempt to shutdown them completely with oVirt button resulted in error message something like "Can't shutdown VM because highly available and can't be moved". Sorry, I forgot to take screenshot. Its was also impossible to shutdown the node correctly, process freezes. After restart, everything seem to work correctly. Anyone have any idea how to cope with this kind of problem? Thanks in advance Andrei

docker, kubernetes and ovirt
by Nathanaël Blanchet 18 Jan '18

18 Jan '18

Hi all, Regarding to this video : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JyyST4ZKne8 and ovedou.blogspot.fr/2014/03/running-docker-container-in-ovirt.html, it appears that some stuff has been done in integrated docker into ovirt. I'm interested into these two UI plugins : docker-resources (I found it in samples-uiplugins) and the kubernetes one that I didn't find anywhere. Can anyone tell me if the development of that projects are definitively stopped and the reason why? -- Nathanaël Blanchet Supervision réseau Pôle Infrastrutures Informatiques 227 avenue Professeur-Jean-Louis-Viala 34193 MONTPELLIER CEDEX 5 Tél. 33 (0)4 67 54 84 55 Fax 33 (0)4 67 54 84 14 blanchet(a)abes.fr

oVirt Node 4.1.8 -> 4.2 upgrade
by Ed Stout 18 Jan '18

18 Jan '18

Good Morning, Perhaps someone could clarify for me, please - to update oVirt Nodes from 4.1.8 -> 4.2, should I just be able to yum install the 4.2 release file, then yum update? Or, do I have to start with the 4.2 ISO then update from there? When I try the former it fails with dependency issues for the nodes, I did however manage to update a self hosted appliance engine to 4.2. I had a read through the mailing list archive and couldn't find similar issues, so perhaps I'm doing something wrong. --> Processing Dependency: lshw for package: vdsm-4.20.9.3-1.el7.centos.x86_64 --> Finished Dependency Resolution Error: Package: ovirt-hosted-engine-setup-2.2.3-1.el7.centos.noarch (ovirt-4.2) Requires: libvirt-daemon-config-network Error: Package: ovirt-hosted-engine-setup-2.2.3-1.el7.centos.noarch (ovirt-4.2) Requires: virt-install Error: Package: glusterfs-geo-replication-3.12.3-1.el7.x86_64 (ovirt-4.2-centos-gluster312) Requires: python-prettytable Error: Package: vdsm-4.20.9.3-1.el7.centos.x86_64 (ovirt-4.2) Requires: lshw Error: Package: glusterfs-events-3.12.3-1.el7.x86_64 (ovirt-4.2-centos-gluster312) Requires: python-prettytable You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest OS Version: RHEL - 7 - 4.1708.el7.centos OS Description: oVirt Node 4.1.8 Kernel Version: 3.10.0 - 693.11.1.el7.x86_64 KVM Version: 2.9.0 - 16.el7_4.8.1 LIBVIRT Version: libvirt-3.2.0-14.el7_4.5 VDSM Version: vdsm-4.19.43-1.el7.centos SPICE Version: 0.12.8 - 2.el7.1 GlusterFS Version: glusterfs-3.8.15-2.el7 CEPH Version: librbd1-0.94.5-2.el7 Cheers, Ed
