[Users] Converting a node iso to PXE
by Olivier Doucet 21 Jun '12

21 Jun '12

Hello everyone, I've written a very quick howto for people wanting to boot ovirt-node-iso via iPXE. Maybe I could put it somewhere in the wiki ? First, download the iso file. I've tried with a beta version of ovirt ;) wget "http://ovirt.org/releases/beta/binary/ovirt-node-iso-2.4.0-1.1.fc17.iso" Create a mountpoint : mkdir iso Mount image on it : mount -o loop ovirt-node-iso-2.4.0-1.1.fc17.iso iso Extract needed files with provided script : ./iso/LiveOS/livecd-iso-to-pxeboot ovirt-node-iso-2.4.0-1.1.fc17.iso You now have a ./tftpboot folder. Put files "tftpboot/vmlinuz0" and "tftpboot/initrd0.img" somewhere publicly available via HTTP for example. Don't forget to unmount iso/ folder and delete unused files ;) Open file tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/default and copy all flags in APPEND line, and append it to 'kernel' line in pxe output. This is an example of what needs to be outputed by ipxe script : ----[ start ipxe script ]--- #!ipxe kernel http://path/to/vmlinuz0 rootflags=loop initrd=initrd0.img root=live:/ovirt-node-iso-2.4.0-1.1.fc17.iso rootfstype=auto ro liveimg nomodeset check rootflags=ro crashkernel=512M-2G:64M,2G-:128M elevator=deadline install quiet rd_NO_LVM rd.luks=0 rd.md=0 rd.dm=0 initrd http://path/to/initrd0.img boot ----[ end ipxe script ]--- Now power on your server and boot on iPXE : iso file is entirely loaded through the network. You now have to follow install script, or modify kernel line to add custom parameters. Olivier

[Users] On oVirt 3.1, Fedora 16 and 17 hang at boot
by Jason Brooks 21 Jun '12

21 Jun '12

Hi everyone, I'm testing oVirt 3.1 with a few different VM types, and I'm experiencing boot issues with Fedora 16 and 17, 64bit. F17 hangs while booting from the F17 install DVD. F16 installs normally (minimal install), but hangs during the initial boot after installation. The F16 VM will boot to rescue mode, however. The VM appears to get through the full boot process, but then the CPU usage goes to 99 or 100% and the VM won't respond. I've tried with spice and vnc consoles, with and without USB enabled. I've let it sit for quite a while, and the VM CPU usage stays pegged, and the VMs remain unresponsive. CentOS 6.2 and Ubuntu 12.04 VMs, both 64bit, work normally on my oVirt 3.1 setup. Any idea what might be causing the issue, or how I might go about debugging it? Thanks, Jason

Vm custom parameters not passed to vdsm hooks environment. Vm started normally, no errors in log files. oVirt Engine version: 3.1.0-3 , builded by me for CentOS 6.2 from git (540a75e0f7bc4b9ed879471d3d830d575c6d6060). vdsm version 4.10.0-0.58 , bulded by me for CentOS 6.2 from git (2987ee3c3281e16f55be46974eee1be44a1bebc7). Custom parameters added by engine-config -s UserDefinedVMProperties=... to all versions (3.1,3.0,2.2) In what may be the problem? P.S. Correspond logs are attached. -- Andrey Gordeev aka Dreyou.

[Users] Dell Poweredge 1955 (blade chassis) power management?
by Nathan Lager 20 Jun '12

20 Jun '12

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I dont know if this list may have an answer for me or not, but i'm working on adding some older Dell 1955's to a RHEV cluster. Yes, i realize this is the oVirt list, but RedHat's support seems to be at a loss. I cant get power management to work. The blades use an older DRAC interface for power management. I configured this under RedHat Cluster Suite using the old "fence_drac" script. This script is no more on a rhev-h install, and the drac5 script (which works on newer dell blades) does not seem to work on these older systems. Has anyone else had any success with oVirt on these older blades? Might that translate to RHEV? Thanks. - -- -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.12 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAk/h10YACgkQsZqG4IN3sumtZwCgoQ/ua2Bt0HmTSAt8O33/gwrR /g0An3EprAg9E6lh1+pP6DUInXA9eu4a =/k26 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

[Users] Guest life-cycle
by Dennis Jacobfeuerborn 20 Jun '12

20 Jun '12

Hi, after being able to start my first guest I noticed two things: 1) When I started the guest with the "run once" option the console button didn't become available. Navigating to another section of the GUI and back didn't help. I was only able to make is available by closing the browser tab and then going to the admin portal again from scratch. 2) When my guest froze (due to nested virtualization experimentation that apparently doesn't work yet) I had no (obvious) way to kill the vm. Hitting the stop button apparently only sends a shutdown command but I couldn't find any way to issue a destroy command. After killing the qemu process on the host manually the guest in the portal gui apparently went into an unknown "?" state which isn't surprising but now there seems to be no way to get rid of the vm. What is proper way to get rid of such a misbehaving guest? Regards, Dennis

[Users] SELinux denials on Sanlock
by Trey Dockendorf 19 Jun '12

19 Jun '12

I don't know if this is the wrong place to ask this question, but I just started seeing SELinux denials after adding an iSCSI storage domain in oVirt using my first node. The node is reporting that selinux is preventing /usr/sbin/wdmd from accessing the pid file for that service. Here are the denials type=AVC msg=audit(1340053766.745:7): avc: denied { open } for pid=1908 comm="wdmd" name="wdmd.pid" dev=dm-0 ino=1574530 scontext=system_u:system_r:wdmd_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:initrc_var_run_t:s0 tclass=file type=AVC msg=audit(1340053766.746:8): avc: denied { lock } for pid=1908 comm="wdmd" path="/var/run/wdmd/wdmd.pid" dev=dm-0 ino=1574530 scontext=system_u:system_r:wdmd_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:initrc_var_run_t:s0 tclass=file type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1340053766.746:8): arch=x86_64 syscall=fcntl success=yes exit=0 a0=4 a1=6 a2=7fffae656290 a3=fffffff3 items=0 ppid=1 pid=1908 auid=4294967295 uid=0 gid=0 euid=0 suid=0 fsuid=0 egid=0 sgid=0 fsgid=0 tty=(none) ses=4294967295 comm=wdmd exe=/usr/sbin/wdmd subj=system_u:system_r:wdmd_t:s0 key=(null) I ran restorecon on /var/run/wdmd and it changed from var_run_t to wdmd_var_run_t. I'm not sure how to make sanlock run again to see if that solved the issue. Is there a way to determine it's resolved? Thanks - Trey

[Users] How can remove the existing isos from engine
by Shu Ming 19 Jun '12

19 Jun '12

Hi, I uploaded several isos to engine by engine-iso-uploader. But, I found that there is no tools to remove the iso from engine or there is no option in engine to remove them. Any clue to remove them? Just remove the iso from the directory where iso domain is mapped? I think it is a bit rude to do that. Is there any graceful way to remove them? -- Shu Ming<shuming(a)linux.vnet.ibm.com> IBM China Systems and Technology Laboratory

[Users] Questions about ovirt engine
by Shu Ming 19 Jun '12

19 Jun '12

Hi, I created a VM in my engine. And I found that every time I run the VM after shutdown, the VM uuid was changed to a different not while the VM itself was not changed including the VM name. Why doesn't engine keep the UUID for a VM and use the UUID every time the VM starts? How can I persistent my setting to a VM with "vdsClient", like the password set by the "setVmTicket" command? -- Shu Ming<shuming(a)linux.vnet.ibm.com> IBM China Systems and Technology Laboratory

[Users] Managing ovirt-node with Puppet - Bad idea?
by Trey Dockendorf 19 Jun '12

19 Jun '12

Currently I've been running all my KVM systems as standard libvirt managed hypervisors with virt-manager for creating VMs. All the setup of these systems was done via Puppet, including bridges and pool definitions. Now that I've setup my first ovirt-node I'm wondering if Puppet is appropriate on the ovirt-node. The first thing that concerned me was libvirtd was not set to start on boot after installing in the ovirt web interface, is this because the vdsmd daemon starts/stops libvirtd? Also is is it safe to manage things like vdsm.conf via Puppet or will ovirt-engine ever touch that file outside of the bootstrap process? Right now all my nodes will be bare CentOS 6.2 systems with a basic KVM / libvirt hypervisor and then vdsm. What I'm curious of is if anyone has suggestions or insight into whether or not something like Puppet should be managing ovirt-nodes. Ideally I'd like to use a bare hypervisor like RHEV-H or the oVirt-node ISO but all I have access to is the later and I'm very weary of having anywhere Fedora in my data center aside from my desktop. So far Puppet has proven useful in the process of setting up the ovirt-node prior to adding it to oVirt interface, but I'm worried something I'm enforcing will be changed by ovirt and then changed back by Puppet and break my setup. Thanks - Trey

[Users] How to configure sharedFS ?
by Deepak C Shetty 18 Jun '12

18 Jun '12

Hi, From vdsm code i can see support for storage domain of type SHARED_FS But when trying to configure a new storage domain, i don't see SHARED_FS as a available domtype filed in the dropdown. I want to use shared FS to connect to try and connect to gluster mount point on my node, but unable to as I don't see that option. From http://www.ovirt.org/wiki/Features/PosixFSConnection - I understand that its the same as sharedFS, so what is PosixFSConnection then, is it just a new interface that provides a wrapper for what is sharedFS now ? The status of this says Done, but I don't see the UI part of this, am I missing something. Also pls let me know if usign sharedFS to make the node use gluster mount is correct or not ? thanx, deepak
