Disaster Recovery Testing
by Gary Lloyd 16 Feb '17

16 Feb '17

Hi We currently use direct lun for our virtual machines and I would like to move away from doing this and move onto storage domains. At the moment we are using an ISCSI SAN and we use on replicas created on the SAN for disaster recovery. As a test I thought I would replicate an existing storage domain's volume (via the SAN) and try to mount again as a separate storage domain (This is with ovirt 4.06 (cluster mode 3.6)) I can log into the iscsi disk but then nothing gets listed under Storage Name / Storage ID (VG Name) Should this be possible or will it not work due the the uids being identical ? Many Thanks *Gary Lloyd* ________________________________________________ I.T.

Exporting VM as ova
by Benjamin Alfery 15 Feb '17

15 Feb '17

Hi, I'm using ovirt 4.0 and was wondering if it is possible to export an existing VM to ova format (via the gui). If it's not possible via GUI, is that possible at all? Best Regards Benjamin

How to enable Global Maintenance via the REST-API?
by Doug Ingham 15 Feb '17

15 Feb '17

Hey Guys, I've gone through both oVirt's & Red Hat's API docs, but I can only find info on getting the global maintenance state & setting local maintenance on specific hosts. Is it not possible to set global maintenance via the API? I'm writing up a new script for our engine-backup routine, but having to set GM by acessing a specific node seems a bit inelegant... https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en/red-hat-virtualization/4.0/singl… Cheers, -- Doug

ovirt 4 reboot behaviour
by Giulio Casella 15 Feb '17

15 Feb '17

Hi, I noticed a different behaviour after upgrading my entire setup from rhev 3.6.9 to rhev 4.0.5. A virtual machine reboot changes the host where the VM is running, also if the VM was started in "run once" mode with a payload specifying a placement policy. In version 3 the VM didn't change host across a reboot; and continued running in run once mode, keeping the same payload given at start time. Is there a way to keep the VM running on the same host across a reboot, excluding the obvious (but time consuming) way of migration after reboot? If not (but this is a request for enhancement), is it possible to introduce a payload for reboot (just like for "start") to specify the placement policy? Thank you in advance, gc

GSoC 2017 - my name is Marcin
by Marcin Czarnecki 15 Feb '17

15 Feb '17

Hello all, I am studying Computer Science at the University of Brighton (UK). I am interested in participating in Google Summer of Code 2017 with oVirt. I am a web security and anonymity enthusiast, tried to work with the Tor Project for GSoC 2016 but it did not work out. I have gained a lot of related experience during university, internship and my freelancing work, I could use this experience in your suggested projects: * VMs: I have experience with vSphere and deploying VMs of test clients in the company that I am doing my internship for * Ansible: I have created multiple playbooks for installing monitoring on test clients: Nagios, Graylog etc. (both on Windows, Linux [Ubuntu, RHEL] * my main interest is back-end web development, have been doing that for 3 years professionally, as well as projects on my own. Can provide with portfolio and customers' reviews * I also have some experience with automation in general: testing, installation of services etc. I think that with those skills I could try working on below two projects from the proposed list: * "Host reservation system for testing multiple oVirt instances" * "Ansible playbooks for oVirt deployment with remote resources" I have experience with Linux, have been using Ubuntu for 4 years on my PC and at work and in projects, and prefer it for development and server management. If you have any questions: email: marnczarnecki[at]gmail.com IRC (OFTC): marncz Many thanks, Marcin

gdeploy error
by Ishmael Tsoaela 15 Feb '17

15 Feb '17

Hi, I am a new sys admin and trying to install glusterfs using gdeploy, I started with a simple script to enable a service(ntpd). gdeploy --version gdeploy 2.0.1 [root@ovirt1 gdeploy]# cat ntp.conf [hosts] ovirt1 [service1] action=enable service=ntpd [service2] action=start service=ntpd The issue is that the gdeploy is returning error fatal: [ovirt1]: FAILED! => {"failed": true, "msg": "module (setup) is missing interpreter line"} Is there a simple way to debug or figure out how to fix this error?
