[Users] Having Trouble Getting NFS Data Domain Back.
by Shawn R. 01 May '12

01 May '12

To give some background I've been working with Unix for years, I'm a AIX System Administrator and I also support our small Red Hat farm (30 servers). We recently started using RHEV and I'd like to get to use oVirt to help me get more hands on with it at home and just cause it's a fun project. I've installed OE and VDSM on the same box and setup 2 LOCAL data domains: iso, storage1. Everything is working great until I do a reboot... when the server comes back up I can't seem to get the mounts back. I see them get mounted but OE keeps telling me it failed (Failed to activate Storage Domain storage1 (Data Center Local)). I've tried and rebooting the VDSMD process, and keep clicking active on the data domain. I can sometimes get it to come back but I don't know what made it work or why it came back. Just so I'm not missleading I am doing a reboot without putting them in maintenaince mode I know this definitly is not best practice but since this is a home server there's a good chance that it will get turned off without warning often (power, kids, wife unplugging to put in vaccum...). So finally my question is should the local mounts just come back on their own and something is broken? Or should I be doing some manuals steps to get them back? If so what are those steps? I appreciate any and all help and please let me know what more information I can provide. Thanks, Shawn

[Users] Moving oVirt engine to Jboss AS 7.1.1
by Oved Ourfalli 29 Apr '12

29 Apr '12

Hey all, We have pushed patches that make the necessary adjustments to allow working with the newest Jboss version, Jboss AS 7.1.1 Final. After fetching please do the following: * Download Jboss AS 7.1.1.Final from http://download.jboss.org/jbossas/7.1/jboss-as-7.1.1.Final/jboss-as-7.1.1.F… * Change the JBOSS_HOME wherever you defined it. * Change the Jboss Home in ~/.m2/settings.xml. * Run a full build, including setup: mvn clean install -DskipTests -Psetup,dep (consider using flags -Dgwt.userAgent=gecko1_8 and -Dgwt.draftCompile=true to avoid compiling GWT on all permutations). * Run jboss as usual. If you have any issues, reply here and we'll do anything to help. The oVirt engine wiki page (http://www.ovirt.org/wiki/Building_oVirt_engine) was changes accordingly. Thank you, Oved

[Users] Balloon Driver doesn't load
by David Metcalf 29 Apr '12

The Balloon Driver on Windows 7 isn't starting. I also notice that qemu command does not show a balloon flag so I think the device was never presented to the guest. How do I get the balloon device to show up?

[Users] error when regestering a host with vdsm 4.9.6 in ovirt 3.1
by Nathanaël Blanchet 27 Apr '12

27 Apr '12

I have built and installed the latest RPM ovirt-engine from the source on F16 and the latest RPM VDSM 4.9.6 on F17 because of nedeed dependancies. when I add a new host, installation always fails with this issue : Failed to install Host khamsin. Step: CreateConf; Details: Basic configuration failed to import default values. I tried to disable ssl in engine and vdsm but it is the same. I have searched more explications into vdsm and ovirt log but I have found anything I suppose vdsm to be the problem, the only way to build it with success is to install it on F17, which is a beta release... This makes me crazy! May anybody help me to find a clue for this issue? -- Nathanaël Blanchet Supervision réseau Pôle exploitation et maintenance Département des systèmes d'information 227 avenue Professeur-Jean-Louis-Viala 34193 MONTPELLIER CEDEX 5 Tél. 33 (0)4 67 54 84 55 Fax 33 (0)4 67 54 84 14 blanchet(a)abes.fr
