oVirt Storage quota problems

Thursday, 12 March 2020

Dear oVirt,

I am experiencing  a quota related problem regarding two things:

  1.  Quota usage and exception trigger
  2.  User assigned as quota consumer

First issue:
I have defined quota for storage ( qstorage ), setting all following items:

     *   Defining quota for storage, with threshold and grace
     *   Setting quota mode to enforced in datacenter
     *   Added Users as consumers of the Quota
     *   Updated quota from Default to qstorage for Templates and related images
     *   Updated quota from Default to qstorage from all existing VMs and the related
Disks
Problem:

     *   the percentage of the Storage Consumption is jumping up and down, between 3% and
97%, and at certain point goes back to Unlimited
     *   when checking under Storage tab inside quota name, the value “Used MB out of
Total MB” is correct, however, when attempting to exceed the threshold, I am not getting a
warning, even though I am consumer of a quota

Second issue:
     User is added to qstorage quota as consumer. Still, when he tries to launch the VMs,
Waring is displayed:
Cannot add VM. The user is not a consumer of the Quota assigned to the resource.

Have I missed something – could it be a permission issue, not a consumer issue.

All my users are utilizing Administration Portal with limited set of permissions. They all
have same Role assigned, but only few of them are having the problem I described as Second
problem.

Please assist.

Subject: oVirt Storage quota questions

Dear oVirt,

My platform is running SHE oVirt version 4.3.8.

Why is my StorageQuota consumption still showing “ 0 out of 3700” ? Did I forget
something?

[A screenshot of a cell phone  Description automatically generated]

I have setup storage quota “StorageQuota” for one of domains.

It has 4400GB actual storage.

  *   Quota is set to 3700GB.
     *   Treshold for Quota is 85% and Grace is set to 110%.
  *   Datacenter Quota is set to Enforced
  *   The template image has been changed from Default to StorageQuota
  *   I see that Vms created from Template are automatically assigned StorageQuota

To present the following situation in screenshots:

  *   Actual Quota:

  *   VMs (more than on the screenshot) which have the StorageQuota assigned:

  *   Templates which have the StorageQuota assigned

Kindly awaiting your reply.

Additionally – is there an easy&safe way to update all running VMs quota?
