[Users] Some naive questions on ovirt...
by Deepak C Shetty 03 Feb '12

03 Feb '12

Hi All, I have few naive Qs for getting some understanding on how things are not working in my setup. I have a very very basic/simple setup.. 1 box hosting ovirt-engine and 1 host running f16, which is discovered and being managed by the ovirt. I don't have the luxury (atleast currently) to have a shared san/nas storage setup, so with help on irc, i configured and setup local dc with local cluster and added host to the local cluster. Now i am in the process of adding a virtual disk to my VM which i created using ovirt. 1) The virtual disk ovirt helps create, is a disk with all zeroes... so even if i am able to create the vdisk and attach it to the VM, when i start vm, obviously it won't boot, as the boot disk is not found. How do i let the ovirt use a existing .img image file which already has a os and root fs installed ( i have it from my virt-manager setup). ? I tried creatign a new storage domain of type iso, but not sure how to add my .img for oivrt to see/recognize and allow me to select that while creating a new VM ? Again, this is all local, so i created /iso/images and /data/images directory on my host, and tried keeping my .imgs there, but it does not work. 2) Is thin provisioning supported with just 1 host in the dc/cluster ? From vdsm_storage pdf i found on the wiki, there is a diagram which uses 2 hosts to do the thin provisioning... so are 2 hosts a must ? Also it talks abt mailbox LV, where the msgs are sent and recd between vdsm and spm to do the lvextend operation.. i am not clear on where physically this LV resides ? on host 1, host 2 or somewhere else ? Assuming its shared storage, does it mean that i cannot do thin prov, with local storage, as is the setup in my case ? thanx, deepak

[Users] oVirt console plans
by André Felício 03 Feb '12

There are plans to enable other types of console for oVirt? Access by VNC or RPD? There are many SO (windows) that access by SPICE is a little tricky. VNC seems to be a more portable. -- At.te, André Felício http://www.felicio.com.br

[Users] Ability to select and copy the Event stack in ovirt web gui
by Deepak C Shetty 01 Feb '12

01 Feb '12

Hi, What is the reason we cannot copy the event logs that we see in the bottom of the ovirt web gui ? It would be nice to have that feature... so that one can quickly send it to someone (maybe this list) and be able to express the sequence of things that happened while reporting a particular problem. I am using FF and no menu comes up, when i select all the events and right click, it would be good to support copy atleast... thanx, deepak

[Users] VDSM failing to start because iscsid fails to start
by Dave Allan 01 Feb '12

01 Feb '12

I just installed the engine and a few nodes from RPMs all on F16 per the instructions at: http://www.ovirt.org/wiki/Installing_ovirt-engine_from_rpm After installing the engine, I installed a few nodes by installing the minimal F16 package set + wget, configuring the ovirt repo on the nodes and using the 'New' button in the hosts tab of the engine GUI. The installation went fine, but after the nodes rebooted they were listed as non-reponsive. It turned out that VDSM was failing to start because iscsid was failing to start. I turned up the debug level on iscsid but didn't find any culprit. Manually force-starting iscsid and then manually starting the vdsm service caused the nodes to change status to Up. Anybody seen this or have any thoughts about what might be wrong? Dave
