[Users] SLOW I/O performance
by Alex Leonhardt 21 Jan '13

21 Jan '13

Hi All, This is my current setup: HV1 has : storage_domain_1 is SPM master HV2 has : storage_domain_2 is normal (not master) HV1 has storage_domain_1 mounted via 127.0.0.1 (network name, but hosts entry sends it to loopback) HV2 has storage_domain_2 mounted via 127.0.0.1 (network name, but hosts entry sends it to loopback) All VMs on HV1 have its storage set to storage_domain_1 and all VMs on HV2 have their storage set to storage_domain_2 My problem now is that after I finally created all the disks on HV2 over a super slow mgmt network (ovirtmgmt), it's a 100 Mbit only, I'm now trying to kickstart all the VMs I created, however, formatting the disk is taking for ever ~ 20-30mins for 12 GB, that is roughly how long it took to create the disks over the 100Mbit link. The weirdness really starts with HV2, as all VMs on HV1 with disks on storage_domain_1 have "good" I/O throughput, all VMs on HV2 are awfully slow in reading/writing to disk. I've tried some network settings to increase throughput, but those didnt help / had no effect at all. Anyone come across this issue ? Is it something to do with the ovirtmgmt interface only being 100Mbit ? Alex -- | RHCE | Senior Systems Engineer | www.vcore.co | www.vsearchcloud.com |

[Users] more useful repo to use right now?
by Gianluca Cecchi 21 Jan '13

21 Jan '13

Hello, I see that under http://resources.ovirt.org/releases/beta/rpm/Fedora/18 there are populated rpms. Does this mean 3.2 beta has been released? Where to find announcements in case for future? I presume if this is the case, it would be better to use them instead of nightly at this stage, correct? If I install beta, can I then "regularly" update to final 3.2 with the usual "engine-update" and so on? I'm going to test on Dell R310 (engine) and R815 (node) tomorrow, so I'm available to test what is best for the project. I'm going to test both on local storage and iSCSI EQL PS5000X thanks Gianluca

[Users] Planned outage :: resources.ovirt.org/lists.ovirt.org :: 2013-01-21 01:00 UTC

The outage will occur at 2013-01-21 01:00 UTC. To view in your local time= : date -d '2013-01-21 01:00 UTC' I may start part of the outage 15 minutes before that. If you anticipate needing services until the outage window, reply back to me with details ASAP. =3D=3D Details =3D=3D We need to resize the Linode instance to get another 15 GB for storage until we can move services off the Linode permanently, as planned. This resizing should give us some breathing room. The account resize is estimated to take 30 minutes, during which time the Linode VM will be offline. After that, there will be a few minutes for reboot and restart of services, including the manual starting of the IRC bot 'ovirtbot'. The time window chosen coincides with the lowest CPU usage typically seen on any given day - 01:00 UTC tends to be very quiet for about an hour. Hopefully no one will even notice the downtime. If you have any services, such as Jenkins or Gerrit backup, that may go off during that window, you may want to retime it or be prepared for an error. =3D=3D Affected services =3D=3D * resources.ovirt.org ** meeting logs ** packages * lists.ovirt.org (MailMan) * ovirtbot * Gerrit backup (anacron may pick this up) * Other cronjobs (anacron may pick this up) =3D=3D Not-affected services =3D=3D * www.ovirt.org (MediaWiki) * jenkins.ovirt.org * gerrit.ovirt.org * alterway{01,02}.ovirt.org --=20 Karsten 'quaid' Wade, Sr. Analyst - Community Growth http://TheOpenSourceWay.org .^\ http://community.redhat.com @quaid (identi.ca/twitter/IRC) \v' gpg: AD0E0C41 ------enig2QPOTWAJSDKQFRARSDTUF Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.13 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iD8DBQFQ/C5s2ZIOBq0ODEERAielAKCYj7E23olhFjrftzhIdMey/n4k9QCdG4MR ILrAtGG53Wnn545S12rdacI= =C+px -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------enig2QPOTWAJSDKQFRARSDTUF--

[Users] Storage domain weirdness (or design)
by Alex Leonhardt 20 Jan '13

20 Jan '13

Hi, I see a strange behaviour - Setup: 1 ovirtmgmt / ovirt-engine hsot 2 ovirt nodes / HVs 2 storage domains in same cluster & DC HV1 => storage domain 1 (master) HV2 => storage domain 2 Issue: When I create a host with say ~40GB disk to be on HV2/storage_domain_2, it does that via HV1 ? Why is that ? I realize a storage domain is "attached to the cluster/dc", however, when creating the VM I explicitly seleted to only run on HV2, so why would it still create the disk via HV1 ? The mgmt network (for now) is only just that, a mgmt network, not meant to create 40 GB disks (dd from /dev/null) over NFS .. it's currently only a 100mbit switch Question: How, if at all, can I make Ovirt create the Disk from the host where it's meant to run on ?

[Users] mark VM to start on boot

How do I mark a VM to startup if a node fails? 2 hosts in cluster, windows domain controller on one host, backup on second host. Both are marked high priority. "Bad Things" happen and both hosts get rebooted. I want those domain controllers to automatically restart. I'm assuming the failure of the hosts did not knock down the manager. (I have them on separate floors, power, etc). -- -- James P. Kinney III * *Every time you stop a school, you will have to build a jail. What you gain at one end you lose at the other.
