Cannot set a quota to limit resources for each user
by Soumya Koduri 06 Aug '17

06 Aug '17

Hi, We have a use-case to limit VM resources for each user and were following guidelines specified in the admin guide to set quota and limit resources for each user [section: 16.8. Using Quota to Limit Resources by User]. However looks like that quota is shared by all the users added as consumers. Suppose I have created a quota (say quota1) to limit the storage capacity to 100GB for each user. Once I add user1 and user2 as consumers to that quota, seems like both users combined are entitled to 100GB. Is my understanding correct? Please let me know if there is any way to configure a single quota which could be applied for each user individually (i.e, in the above eg., each user should be limited to 100GB storage capacity). Or is the only way this can be done is by creating separate quota for each user [which seems like tedious process and cannot scale]? Thanks, Soumya

Deleting old export backups in oVirt
by Wesley Stewart 03 Aug '17

03 Aug '17

I am using a script to make weekly backups of my VMs, but I really dont need more than 1-2 weeks per VM. I pulled open my NFS share where the export domain points to, but all the VM's have a long guid and I cannot see which folder corresponds to which backup. For example, when I click "Import" and then "load" one of the backup VMs listed is: Ubuntu_Server_BACKUP_20170731_012832 All I see are folders that look like: "f42fd734-e5e6-964e-87D1-8dbc554f0e19" Going into the folder there is a "META" file, which I can open, but there is no reference to the actual VM name. Is there an easy way to tell which folder goes to which VM? -Wesley

supervdsmd IOError to /dev/stdout
by Richard Chan 03 Aug '17

03 Aug '17

After an upgrade to 4.0 I have a single host that cannot start supervdsmd because of IOError on /dev/stdout. All other hosts upgraded correctly. In the systemd unit I have to hack StandardOutput=null. Any thing I have overlooked? The hosts are all identical and it is just this one that has this weird behaviour. -- Richard Chan

Lost disk image on guest
by Paul-Erik Törrönen 03 Aug '17

03 Aug '17

Updated the ovirt to latest stable and after the host reboot (hardware was relocated) all of the VMs on the host are ok except one which has lost it's disk image (it still exists physically on the storage device). Uploading this image to the storage fails (I get the usual initiating - 0/XXXMB uploaded - Paused by system, the ovirt-imageio-proxy is running on the engine and has nothing in it's log), and I'm also unable to create any new disks when editing the problematic VM (the Attach/Create/+/--buttons are all grayed out). The question is: Is the only course to 'fix' this situation to delete the whole VM and install it from scratch? Poltsi

oVirt 3.6.x and Centos 6.9
by Neil 02 Aug '17

02 Aug '17

Hi guys, I upgraded to the latest ovirt-engine-3.6.7.5-1.el6.noarch available in the ovirt 3.6 repo, however I seem to be encountering a known bug ( https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1387949) which looks to be fixed in ovirt 3.6.9.2 but I can't seem to find out how to install this. I was hoping it was via http://resources.ovirt.org/pub/ovirt-3.6-snapshot but this link is dead. Is anyone using ovirt 3.6.9 and how does one obtain it? The issues I'm facing is, after trying to update my cluster version to 3.6, my hosts weren't compatible, as it says they only compatible with version 3.3, 3.4 and 3.5 etc. I then upgraded 1 hosts to Centos 6.9 and installed and updated the latest vdsm from the 3.6 repo, but this still didn't allow me to change my cluster version. I then rolled back the cluster version to 3.5. At the moment because I've upgraded 1 host, I can't select this host as SPM and I'm wondering if I can upgrade my remaining hosts, or will this prevent any hosts from being my SPM? I'm seeing the following error "WARNING Unrecognized protocol: 'SUBSCRI'" on my upgraded host. I'm wanting to upgrade to the latest 3.6 as well as upgrade all my hosts, so that I can start the ovirt 4 upgrade next. Please could I have some guidance on this? Thank you. Regards. Neil Wilson.
