[Users] Debian VM.

Hello everyone. After installing debian as virtual machine during the boot I got the following error: Loadin Linux 2.6.32-5-686 .... unaligned pointer 0x8ef20002 Aborted. Press and key to exit. In research, I found that this error is a problem of KVM. In such cases, there is something that can be done? -- “Encarada do ponto de vista da juventude, a vida parece um futuro indefinidamente longo, ao passo que, na velhice, ela parece um passado deveras curto. Assim, a vida no seu início se apresenta do mesmo modo que as coisas quando as olhamos através de um binóculo usado ao contrário; mas, ao seu final, ela se parece com as coisas tal qual são vistas quando o binóculo é usado de modo normal. Um homem precisa ter envelhecido e vivido bastante para perceber como a vida é curta”. (Poema de Arthur Schopenhauer)

Hi all, i can't start the ovirt engine anymore. The error is: Error: Could not create the Java Virtual Machine. Error: A fatal exception has occurred. Program will exit. It seems that the error appears when the parameter -XX:+UseCompressedOops is set. If I run the java command wothour it, the program starts. java -version java version "1.7.0_09-icedtea" OpenJDK Runtime Environment (fedora-2.3.3.fc17.1-i386) OpenJDK Client VM (build 23.2-b09, mixed mode) The machine is: uname -a Linux wikitiki.mindsoft.com 3.6.7-4.fc17.i686 #1 SMP Tue Nov 20 20:13:04 UTC 2012 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux Is this some missconfiguration on my part?

[Users] How to attach virtualized Gluster cluster?
by Peter Styk 28 Nov '12

28 Nov '12

Any chance there is a way to get this to work? 2 x F16 nodes bare metal engine and gluster 4 node virtualized in vmware esxi engine ok 2x node ok gluster stand alone setup ok problem: Can't attach my stand-alone gluster cluster. Since I'm not using virtualized gluster bricks to run virtual machines why can't I use it as storage only? intuition takes me here: Cluster #1 [Bare_Metal] Enable Ovirt Service [yes] & Enable Gluster Service [no] [shows Hosts and VMs] Cluster #2 [Virtualized] Enable Ovirt Service [no] & Enable Gluster Service [yes] [shows Hosts and Volumes] Have tried this several Times as full gluster working setup, empty nodes and oVirt agent nodes. No luck. Any pointers would be appreciated. Best, Peter Any indication or pointer on how to mount gluster cluster as the only storage for ovirt would be of great help. Peter

Re: [Users] XP Guest Sound issue - FIXED
by Baldwin, John 28 Nov '12

28 Nov '12

I re-created the Centos 6.3 64-bit oVirt engine using the following repo URL locations which points to the latest versions In the dreyou.org repo baseurl=http://www.dreyou.org/ovirt/vdsm/ baseurl=http://www.dreyou.org/ovirt/ovirt-engine/ Using those repo file locations the oVirt Engine / backend 3.1.0-3.26.el6 was installed That had a build date of Fri 26 Oct 2012 06:54:09 AM EDT. That was current enough to contain the bug fix. The sound is working fine now. The Guest XP sound device is listed as Intel(r) 82801 AC'97 Audio Controller. Thanks again for pointing out the bug!

[Users] Panic on FreeBSD guest with >1 CPU
by Karli Sjöberg 27 Nov '12

27 Nov '12

Hey all! Since recently patching our hosts, I´ve been having trouble running FreeBSD guests with more than one virtual core or socket. I have managed take a screenshot of how it looks like when it panics when booting kernel, right after ACPI: http://i47.tinypic.com/2u90qrr.png I´ve tried this with similar results using 8.2-RELEASE, 8.3-RELEASE, 9.0-RELEASE and 9-STABLE. If I edit the guest to have only one virtual core or socket, it boots up without issue. Since noticing this, I´ve tried updating the packages one more time, thinking maybe it had already been fixed but no, it remains. These are the package versions I´m using: # rpm -qa | egrep '(kernel|libvirt|qemu|vdsm|seabios)' | sort -d ipxe-roms-qemu-20120328-1.gitaac9718.fc17.noarch kernel-3.6.2-4.fc17.x86_64 kernel-3.6.3-1.fc17.x86_64 kernel-3.6.7-4.fc17.x86_64 << This is the one that´s running libvirt-0.9.11.7-1.fc17.x86_64 libvirt-client-0.9.11.7-1.fc17.x86_64 libvirt-daemon-0.9.11.7-1.fc17.x86_64 libvirt-daemon-config-network-0.9.11.7-1.fc17.x86_64 libvirt-daemon-config-nwfilter-0.9.11.7-1.fc17.x86_64 libvirt-lock-sanlock-0.9.11.7-1.fc17.x86_64 libvirt-python-0.9.11.7-1.fc17.x86_64 qemu-common-1.0.1-2.fc17.x86_64 qemu-img-1.0.1-2.fc17.x86_64 qemu-kvm-1.0.1-2.fc17.x86_64 qemu-kvm-tools-1.0.1-2.fc17.x86_64 qemu-system-x86-1.0.1-2.fc17.x86_64 seabios-1.7.1-1.fc17.x86_64 seabios-bin-1.7.1-1.fc17.noarch vdsm-4.10.0-10.fc17.x86_64 vdsm-cli-4.10.0-10.fc17.noarch vdsm-python-4.10.0-10.fc17.x86_64 vdsm-xmlrpc-4.10.0-10.fc17.noarch Do you have any insights as to what the problem might be?

[Users] ovirt-engine-dbscripts broken dependencies on F17
by Adrian Gibanel 27 Nov '12

27 Nov '12

First of all I don't have too much experience in Fedora to say that this is actually a bug so it might be a problem on my part not being able to use repos or whatever. My initial setup is explained in this other mailing list thread: http://lists.ovirt.org/pipermail/users/2012-November/005125.html Basically it's a Fedora 17 minimal installation with a /home mounted on a lvm partition and I just want to reinstall the whole oVirt again as an all-in-one setup without having to reinstall the whole Fedora 17. So if I'm not mistaken (I repeat that I don't have too much experience in Fedora) the error is: ovirt-engine-3.1.0-2.fc17.noarch needs: ovirt-engine-dbscripts = 3.1.0-2.fc17 but it's not going to be installed because the only version of: ovirt-engine-dbscripts available in the repo is: 3.0.0.0001-13.fc17 . More than this I have: ovirt-engine-sdk 3.2 installed (instead of 3.1)... taking a look at the logs it would seem that: yum upgrade --skip-broken is the one that has updated ovirt-engine-sdk to 3.2 version. So... if no update of the repository was needed (as per apt-get update is usually needed in Debian.) and I just had to run yum upgrade I can confirm that bug: 869457 ( https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=869457 ) is not fixed at all. I'm temted to reinstall all the Fedora 17 again but it would be nice if you provided some yum commands to debug if the problem is for everyone or if it's specific of my setup so that we can confirm whether bug 869457 is fixed or not. Now I'm checking http://lists.ovirt.org/pipermail/users/2012-November/005116.html more carefully and they say to run: engine-upgrade command which I haven't run. Anyways I think that running engine-cleanup and doing a yum upgrade should work (selecting the right ovirt-engine-sdk 3.1 version and not the 3.2 one) and it's not working at all. Thank you!

[Users] Invoking guest os script, without guest having network connectivity?
by Shlomi Tsadok 26 Nov '12

26 Nov '12

I'm looking for a way to configure the guest networking(including IP) dynamically, using a custom script, right after VM creation. Is there a similar feature in oVirt as the Invoke-VMScript in of VMware's PowerCLI? It allows you to run a script in the guest OS, even before the guest has networking connectivity ( the host talks to the vmtools agent that's installed in the guest). Native KVM/libvirt option will be good as well. Thanks, Shlomi Invoke-VMScript reference: http://www.vmware.com/support/developer/windowstoolkit/wintk40u1/html/Invok…
