oVirt Node 4.1.6 on IBM x3650 M3
by Jon bae 02 Nov '17

02 Nov '17

Hello everybody, I would like to install oVirt Node on a IBM Machine, but after the installation it can not boot. I get the message: "/boot/efi/..." file not found I try many different things like turn of uefi options in bios etc. but with no effect. Now I figure out that when I install full CentOS 7.3 from live DVD it just boot normal. Is there any workaround to get this to work? Regards Jonathan

Hello, After the reboot of a fresh install of ovirt node, the uefi boot complains that : Failed to open \EFI\centos\grubx64.efi I have to reboot on the installation CD, get a shell from the rescue entry : mkdir /tmp/ovirt mount /tmp/sda1 /tmp/ovirt cp /run/install/repo/EFI/BOOT/grubx64.efi /tmp/ovirt/EFI/centos/ reboot And then the system boot I have tried on two servers several times, always the same things how can i find what happened ? Thanks.

VM resource allocation and IO Threads
by Gianluca Cecchi 02 Nov '17

02 Nov '17

Hello, can anyone give any pointer to deeper information about what in subject and the value for "Num Of IO Threads" configuration, best practices and to-be-expected improvements? I read also here: https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_virtualization/4.1/ht… but in some points it seems not so clear to me: eg: If a virtual machine has more than one disk, you can enable or change the number of IO threads to improve performance. but also Red Hat recommends using the default number of IO threads, which is 1. There is also a note about deactivation and activation of disks: does it mean that even if I poweroff the VM and change its config I have to make this step after? Anyone has run benchmarks? Does it make sense if my VM has 3 disks to configure 6 IO threads for example? Do IO threads map to SCSI controllers inside the guest or what? Thanks in advance, Gianluca

Hi everyone, I'll be restarting several production systems today to perform planned maintenance. The following services may be unreachable for some period of time: - resources.ovirt.org - software repositories - jenkins.ovirt.org - CI master No new builds will be started during this period. I will announce you once the maintenance is complete. -- Regards, Evgheni Dereveanchin

can't use a iscsi target as a storage domain
by Nathanaël Blanchet 01 Nov '17

01 Nov '17

Hi, I give a try to 4.2 alpha andit seems to be a regression with registering a iscsi target as a storage domain. I'm able to login to the target, but when selecting the lun, clicking on OK does nothing else. I tried with the same lun on 4.1 and it is ok. -- 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 4.2 Lab on ESXi
by Mustapha Aissat 01 Nov '17

01 Nov '17

Dears, I'm trying to setup a lab for Ovirt 4.2 on VMware ESXi 6.5. I checked "Expose hardware assisted virtualization to the guest OS" and "Enable virtualized CPU performance counters" options to activate the nested virtualization. I installed Ovirt node and I try to setup a self hosted engine on it. All pre-configrations were done successfully. But when arriving to step "Running engine-setup on the appliance", the Hosted engine VM wouldn't start. I open the VM console, it stuck a bios level. It display the following : SeaBIOS (Version 1.10.2-3.el7_4.1) Machine UUID ced5025d-eec1-458a-991c-cc3bba9392dd Does anybody already encountered this issue? Is there any more parameters to set in the ESXi for it to work? Thanks for your help Regards,

[ANN] oVirt 4.1.7 Fifth Release Candidate is now available
by Lev Veyde 01 Nov '17

01 Nov '17

The oVirt Project is pleased to announce the availability of the Fifth Release Candidate of oVirt 4.1.7, as of November 1st, 2017 This update is the seventh in a series of stabilization updates to the 4.1 series. Starting from 4.1.5 oVirt supports libgfapi [5]. Using libgfapi provides a real performance boost for ovirt when using GlusterFS . Due to a known issue [6], using this will break live storage migration. This is expected to be fixed soon. If you do not use live storage migration you can give it a try. Use [7] for more details on how to enable it. This release is available now for: * Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.4 or later * CentOS Linux (or similar) 7.4 or later This release supports Hypervisor Hosts running: * Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.4 or later * CentOS Linux (or similar) 7.4 or later * oVirt Node 4.1 See the release notes draft [3] for installation / upgrade instructions and a list of new features and bugs fixed. Notes: - oVirt Appliance is already available - oVirt Live is already available[4] - oVirt Node is already available[4] Additional Resources: * Read more about the oVirt 4.1.7 release highlights: http://www.ovirt.org/release/4.1. <http://www.ovirt.org/release/4.1.7/>7 <http://www.ovirt.org/release/4.1.7/>/ <http://www.ovirt.org/release/4.1.7/> * Get more oVirt Project updates on Twitter: https://twitter.com/ovirt * Check out the latest project news on the oVirt blog: http://www.ovirt.org/blog/ [1] https://www.ovirt.org/community/ [2] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/enter_bug.cgi?classification=oVirt [3] http://www.ovirt.org/release/4.1. <http://www.ovirt.org/release/4.1.7/>7 <http://www.ovirt.org/release/4.1.7/>/ <http://www.ovirt.org/release/4.1.7/> [4] http://resources.ovirt.org/pub/ovirt-4.1-pre/iso/ [5] http://staged-gluster-docs.readthedocs.io/en/release3.7.0beta1/Features/lib… [6] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1306562 [7] http://www.ovirt.org/develop/release-management/features/storage/glusterfs-… -- Lev Veyde Software Engineer, RHCE | RHCVA | MCITP Red Hat Israel <https://www.redhat.com> lev(a)redhat.com | lveyde(a)redhat.com <https://red.ht/sig> TRIED.
