I have not coded much python, but I'm having a go at trying to get a vdsm h=
ook script working.
What it is supposed to do is look for a controller of model 'virtio-scsi' i=
n the domxml and change the model to 'ich9-ahci'.I've named the script
'50_=
change_scsi_controller' and have placed it in '/usr/libexec/vdsm/hooks/befo=
re_vm_start' on the one (and only) host in the cluster where I'm doing this=
testing.=C2=A0 I've set the perms to 755.I've also added the custom proper=
ty to my engine like so: engine-config -s UserDefinedVMProperties=3D'change=
_scsi_controller=3D.*' --cver=3D3.5I've restarted the ovirt-engine like so =
'service ovirt-engine restart' , and can now see the custom property in the=
GUI config for a powered off VM that is set to boot up into my cluster.=C2=
=A0 I've put a string into the 'change_scsi_controller' property and booted=
up the VM.The scsi controller model is not changed from 'virtio-scsi' to '=
ich9-ahci'
=C2=A0On the host when I look at '/var/log/vdsm/vdsm.log' I can see tha tth=
e hook is getting called, but I'm not sure what I need to look at here spec=
ifically?=C2=A0 Can anyone assist and possibly tell me what is wrong here? =
Is it an issue with my python hook script?
I'm wanting to test an EL5 based install with a scsi disk, and EL5 does not=
support virtio-scsi.
I should also mention that I know there are issues with migrating VMs that =
use the ich9-ahci sata controller and I don't plan to use this long term.=
=C2=A0 If I do need this functionality I'll likely set up some Fedora hosts=
in another cluster and use one of the other scsi controller types instead =
- ie: 'lsi53c810"', 'lsi53c895a', 'megasas',
'pvscsi'.
Here's the hook script code:
