Hi I have decided to bite the bullet and re-install everything,.... Can someone check and see if this idea seems like it will work... I will have 3 servers - 1. Ovirt engine (Lan address + external address) : name - frontend.server.com - 2. Storage server - debian NFS server (LAN address only) : name - storage1.server.com - 3. Ovirt node (from the node .iso) - I will set up Ovirt on an enternal; IP: name - node1.server.com In order to get the best speed (i.e by using LAN address's) I shall add the 2nd LAN interface on the node as a LAN address - (So it can comminicate with the storage node) .. Should I add the LAN address's of the ovirt node and storage on the frontend to /etc/hosts (i.e not the external IP - 10.0.0.x) ? Or will cause issues (like before) - I want it to send as much traffic via the LAN rather than external network (for speed) (also shall I add the frontend / storage to /etc/hosts on the node ?) Any ideas will be welcomed. Regards On 2 March 2012 12:24, Morgan Cox <morgancoxuk@gmail.com> wrote:

Ah - I think this is where the issue lies...

I can't resolve the ip of the node .....

i.e the node only has a LAN address - the desktop i'm connecting from in not connected to that LAN.

All the 3 server can resolve host names as they are in the LAN - however external connections cannot resolv the node (as that only has a LAN IP)

Can you suggest how I can fix this - I could re-install the node with an external ip - but that will be slower... (I want to use the giagbit switch I have..)

When you say client do you mean my desktop ?

If so no it can't.

The DNS is setup using LAN ip's on the frontend (server 1) all servers can resolv each other

So do I need to ensure that my desktop can connect to the DNS for the node?

The client (your desktop) needs to be able to resolve the hostname of the hypervisor host - the ovirt node.

can you add an entry to the hosts file on your desktop with the hostname of the hypervisor host and it's IP address.

Hi

I have been trying for hours to install a vm in Ovirt and having no joy., Spice is not working - I just get a black popup window

I am connecting from a Fedora16 desktop - I have spice-XPI installed. can see 'press Shift+f12' to release mouse.... etc.

My setup :-

I have a 3 server setup - 1. Ovirt engine (Lan address + external address) - 2. Storage node - NFS server (LAN address and external address) - 3. Ovirt node (from the node .iso) - only LAN address

The Engine server is a default FC16 install. the node is from the ovirt node .iso.

I don't think its firewall related - I tried disabling firewalls on all servers.

Once I try spice the icon is greyed out afterwards.

In IRC it was suggested to run Bind from server 1 - I have done that and added DNS entrys in the LAN range for all 3 servers - all 3 servers are using bind from server1 as their only nameserver in resolv.conf

I am trying to connect from my Fedora16 Desktop

When I try to connect I see in /var/log/messages

Mar 1 19:34:43 fedora16 spice: Warning: failed to connect: Connection timed out (110)

Any ideas how to investigate this further.

I am dying to test out a VM but with no spice I am presently unable to...

Any ideas will be welcomed - i'm 1/2 thinking about re-installing with all external ips (but that will make transfer speeds slower..)
