[Users] Gluster storage

Hello everybody, i'm successful using ovirt with 16 physical node, in a FC cluster with a very BIG dell compellent (and so expensive) enterprise storage ;) I'm researching a new architecture for a new cluster, and i want to understand more better the glusterFS integration in ovirt. As i understand you have to install a normal physical node, with also the glusterFS package… right ? after that you have to create a new cluster in ovirt , new datacenter and put in this new node. in that datacenter you can create a new data domain ( glusterFS ) that reside on that host. right ? and… after that ? ok i have 1 node that are also my " storage ", and if i want to all more compute node ? … every new compute node are a new " brick " for glusterFS so i can expand/redundant the first one ? i don't have the architecture very clear in my mind, and the documentation don't clarify the final architecture for this type of usage. Thanks for help guys Luke

[Users] Minor HTML5 Spice Bug
by Thomas Suckow 29 Nov '13

29 Nov '13

I have been using the HTML5 Spice websocket plug-in and so far it works extremely well. I just have two comments/bugs about it. I look on the issue tracker and I did not see an appropriate component listed, so I will list them here: * When the virtual screen is resized (such as during boot when the GUI login is displayed) the mouse cursor gets messed up and clicking only clicks the upper left corner of the screen. * The SSL key has to be readable by the ovirt user rather than root *cough*. Maybe the proxy_wstunnel apache module could be of use to avoid SSL in the plugin. -- Thomas

[Users] Bug cron 3.3.1-2 ?
by Sven Kieske 29 Nov '13

Hi, It seems, the ovirt-cron does something which does not work out of the box: From: Anacron <root(a)management.test> To: root(a)management.test Content-Type: text/plain; charset="ANSI_X3.4-1968" Subject: Anacron job 'cron.daily' on management.test Message-Id: <20131025010702.1A48740038F(a)management.test> Date: Fri, 25 Oct 2013 03:07:02 +0200 (CEST) /etc/cron.daily/ovirt-cron: ls: cannot access /var/log/ovirt-engine/server.log.*: No such file or directory ls: cannot access /var/log/ovirt-engine/jasperserver.log.*: No such file or directory ls: cannot access /var/log/ovirt-engine/server.log.*.gz: No such file or directory ls: cannot access /var/log/ovirt-engine/jasperserver.log.*.gz: No such file or directory Is this intended behaviour? ovirt-engine 3.3.1-2 on CentOS 6.4. -- Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Regards Sven Kieske Systemadministrator Mittwald CM Service GmbH & Co.

[Users] RFE/Bug? Cloud-Init in oVirt 3.3.1 / IPv6 Support
by Sven Kieske 29 Nov '13

29 Nov '13

Hi, currently, you can not set a static network via Cloud-Init. How to reproduce: Select a shutdown vm, click run once. Click Initial Run, select Cloud-Init Now select "Network" and "add new" Name your interface, e.g. eth0 Do not configure DHCP, instead, fill in IP Address, Netmask, Gateway, etc. I would suppose that this would pass the following options into the meta-data: iface eth0 inet static but if you mount the meta-data cd-rom into any vm and read the meta-data.json it says: iface eth0 inet none the rest of the information seems to be correct, though. You can see this from 2 point of views: 1. If I do not select DHCP and I configure IP Address etc. I want a static configuration, therefore "static" should be in the meta-data. If I would have wanted "none", I wouldn't bother configuring the interface, would I? -> Bug 2. There is no button for "static" in the GUI, therefore the option get's not passed, "none" may be the default option. In this case, it would be cool to have a checkbox for "static". --> RFE I didn't test this from the API yet, but I hope there is an option to set the networking to static from there? What do you think? Bug or RFE? Can this be fixed in 3.3.1.1 maybe (fix should be small, without looking into the code)? I can't always do full upgrades (3.3.2 would be next). My second topic would be IPv6 Support: It simply does not exist in Cloud-Init to pass this option to the guest, I read this old thread: http://lists.ovirt.org/pipermail/engine-devel/2013-June/004893.html My Question: Are there any plans to improve this? I will work around it maybe through custom parsing and file injecting the IPv6 data through Cloud-Init, but would prefer to pass this information simply to Cloud-Init. -- Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Regards Sven Kieske Systemadministrator Mittwald CM Service GmbH & Co.

[Users] Self contained engine ETA
by Juan Pablo Lorier 29 Nov '13

29 Nov '13

Hi, Is there any estimated time for self contained engine release? Will it be possible to migrate engine to existing DC? I'm now buying a new server just for the engine that actually runs in a vm on a different virtualization platform, and I'll like to know if it's woth the effort of migration at this time our I should wait a bit to get the feature.

[Users] oVirt vdsm network problem
by Jakub Bittner 28 Nov '13

28 Nov '13

Hello, I found strange problem in vdsm 4.13.0 with oVirt 3.3.1. After 30 hours from update (ovirt -> 3.3.1, vdsm -> 4.13) my one vlan network does not work. There is nothing in log, I can see network trafic from not working vlan on node in tcpdump, but it not come to VM. After vdsm restart on node it works like expected. I take a look in to oVirt -> Host -> Network Interface and all nodes has bond interface changed from "Mode 4 Dynamic link agregation" to "Custom: mode=4" and Custom mode is filled by "mode=4" Mabe it is the same, but who change that? I can have one node in this status if someone will want more info or logs.
