[Users] API read-only access / roles
by Sander Grendelman 20 Feb '14

20 Feb '14

I'm working on (Zabbix) monitoring through the RESTful API. Which role should I assign to the monitoring user? The user only needs read access to the data but it looks like I nead to assign at least an "Admin" role to the user to be able to read data through the API. For this I've created a "AdminLoginOnly" role that only has System->Configure System->Login Permissions access. Is this the way to go for this king of configuration? Or is there a way to further minimize the permissions of this user? Another issue is that a "Login" event is generated every time the user connects through the API. This makes the "Events" pane less useful / readable. Is there a way to disable this for some users/roles?

Hi Sander, We're closing the ovirt 3.4 scope, and wondering if you're handling Zabbix based on [1]. If so please let me know and I'll update the 3.4 features list. Thanks, Doron [1] http://lists.ovirt.org/pipermail/users/2013-November/017946.html

[Users] about live snapshot and qemu-kvm

I was used to take live snapshot with qemu-kvm-rhev-0.12.1.2-2.355.el6.5.x86_64 which was recompiled from the redhat srpms, because live snapshot was not supported by the official qemu-kvm in el6.4. * Does now 6.5 include the correct qemu-kvm version for live snapshot? * If not why does redhat provide a separate qemu package for RHEV while fedora has got the correct package? * Does ovirt team provide support for el6 live snapshot "out of the box" or do they recommend to get the correct qemu-kvm version from the rhev repository? Assuming that redhat doesn't provide the same qemu-kvm in rhev than in el6, what about including qemu-kvm-rhev in the ovirt el6 repository as dreyou did ?

[Users] How do I add a node?
by Rob Abshear 15 Feb '14

15 Feb '14

This is a multi-part message in MIME format. --------------070509040507000705010302 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII; format=flowed I am thoroughly confused at this point. I have three servers. One for a controller and two for nodes. These servers were used as an oVirt environment just last week. But, now, when I try to do a fresh installation with the exact same configuration as before, I can't add nodes. Here is the process I used previously: 1. Install Fedora (minimum install) on each machine 2. Install tar on each node machine 3. Install the engine on the controller machine. 4. Add nodes using IP and password in the web admin interface and let the controller build the node. 5. Profit. Now that procedure does not work. When I try it that way, the node installs and then fails with an error that it can't configure the management network on the node. I have a second working oVirt environment, but I can't even add the nodes into that one. So, I decide to try installing using the oVirt Quick Start document located at http://www.ovirt.org/Quick_Start_Guide. The problem is that, there is no "oVirt Engine" tab in the administration app. It's my understanding from the document that this is how you tell the node which controller it should be allowing. I can't add the nodes that I built with the oVirt Node Installation CD. The documentation on this is so sparse that I can't figure out what's going on. It was so easy to set up before, but I'm having nothing but trouble, now. I have been at this for days, when the first time took me about an hour. What am I missing? Could someone either update the Quick Start guide, or reply with some up-to-date instructions on how to install this environment? FYI, I am doing this with completely fresh installs of Fedora 19. No software is being reused or reconfigured. It's completely stock. Controller=192.168.165.70 Node01=192.168.165.71 Node02=192.168.165.72 All are connected via the same switch. I can ping all the three machines from each other. If I try to ssh from the controller into either of the nodes, I get "Read from socket failed: Connection reset by peer". If I attempt to ssh into either of the nodes from another machine on the network, I get the same message. If I try to add either node using the web interface, It fails with: Error while executing action: Cannot add Host. Connecting to host via SSH has failed, verify that the host is reachable (IP address, routable address etc.) You may refer to the engine.log file for further details.

[Users] virt-v2v fail - GuestfsHandle.pm error + Redhat.pm error

Hi, After having successfully migrated Debian, XP, 2003, 2008 VMs, I'm stuck with a migration I was expecting to be easy : RHAS3. Here is the error log I get : > # virt-v2v -i libvirt -ic qemu+ssh://xxxx@xxxx/system -o rhev -os xxxx:/data/vmexport -of qcow2 -oa sparse -n ovirtmgmt serv-rhas3-vm1 > serv-rhas3-vm1_copy.raw: 100% [=====================================================================================================]D 0h10m14s > virt-v2v: Pas de capability dans la configuration correspondant à os='linux' name='virtio' distro='rhel' major='3' minor='0' > virt-v2v: Pas de capability dans la configuration correspondant à os='linux' name='cirrus' distro='rhel' major='3' minor='0' > virt-v2v: WARNING: Le pilote d'affichage a été modifié en cirrus, mais il est impossible d'installer le pilote cirrus.

But here, the last two lines are lethal. It seems oVirt tries to guess which OS is imported, and tries to do specific actions, and do them bad. Either there's a way o prevent oVirt from guessing, either there's a way to correct the actions oVirt is failing to do... Googling was not that helpful about this issue. Regards. -- Nicolas Ecarnot

[Users] Python SDK list vms slow, excessive cpu usage
by Sander Grendelman 06 Feb '14

06 Feb '14

Fetching the list of vms through the API with the python SDK takes several seconds[1] with 100% cpu usage in the python script. When I look at the engine log there is only one (fast) fetch from the API. The rest of the time is spent in the SDK processing a relatively small bit of XML data (only 26 VMs in my environment). This seems an excessive amount of CPU for processing ~6KB of XML. I've included some sample code [2] and output [3]. Attached is the cProfile output for this call and a visualization. [1] ~6,5 seconds on an oVirt VM with 1 vcpu on older hardware, ~3,5 seconds on a fast physical machine with an i5 cpu. [2] Sample code, add your own url/credentials/certificate: #!/usr/bin/python """Get ovirt VM names""" import time from ovirtsdk.api import API from ovirtsdk.xml import params def print_elapsed(logString): elapsed = time.time() - startTime print "%fs %s" % (elapsed, logString) startTime = time.time() print_elapsed("before connect") api = API( url="https://my.engine.url/api", username="user@domain", password="password", ca_file="./ca.crt", ) print_elapsed("after connect") print_elapsed("before fetch list") vmList = api.vms.list() print_elapsed("after fetch list") print_elapsed("before use list") count = 0 for vm in vmList: vmName = vm.get_name() count += 1 print "\t number of VMs %d" % count [3] Example of output: [grendelmans@bungee src]$ /usr/bin/time ./vm_list_test.py 0.000003s before connect 0.338248s after connect 0.338299s before fetch list 6.795967s after fetch list 6.796041s before use list number of VMs 26 6.796181s after use list 7.28user 0.05system 0:07.64elapsed 96%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 84624maxresident)k 0inputs+0outputs (0major+5605minor)pagefaults 0swaps [grendelmans@bungee src]$

[Users] Unable to log on with expired passord
by Sigbjorn Lie 01 Feb '14

01 Feb '14

Hi, I am doing a POC of RHEV 3.2 VDI for a customer. Their users are located in an IPA server, and RHEV and IPA has been connected using rhevm-manage-domains. During the POC we discovered that users which have expired password cannot log on. They receive an Incorrect password error message. 1. They should at least receive a Your password has expired error instead of the Incorrect password error message as this is confusing for the user. 2. This creates a problem, as every time a password is reset in IPA, it's automatically set to be expired so the user will change password at next logon. Is there a way around this? I would like to see the user being able to log on the User Portal with the expired password, and then he will be asked to change his password as usual once he's logging into his Linux VDI machine. Regards, Siggi

[Users] engine reports and dwh setup in 3.3.2
by Gianluca Cecchi 30 Jan '14

30 Jan '14

Hello, I have some questions regarding wheat in subject fro 3.3.2. In November I upgraded my AIO install from fc18 3.2.3 to fc19 3.3.1 following: http://www.ovirt.org/OVirt_3.2_to_3.3_upgrade All went ok. In Fc18 reports and DWH worked ok if I rememebr correctly. Probably in November I didn't run any setup again for dwh and reports... after upgrade This is a test/home server Today I updated to 3.3.2 without problems and tried upgrade of dwh and reports too. One problem I found is that upgrading from f18 to f19, now my postgres user cannot directly connect to db without password. I see that my pg_hba.conf is now this way local all all md5 host ovirtenginereports engine_reports 0.0.0.0/0 md5 host ovirtenginereports engine_reports ::0/0 md5 host all all 127.0.0.1/32 md5 host all all ::1/128 md5 so that running ovirt-engine-dwh-setup aborted because of db connections such as 2013-12-21 14:27:47::DEBUG::common_utils::908::root:: retcode = 0 2013-12-21 14:27:47::DEBUG::common_utils::864::root:: Executing command --> '/bin/su -l postgres -c /usr/bin/psql -U postgres -d template1 -tAc "select 1;"' in working directory '/root' 2013-12-21 14:27:47::DEBUG::common_utils::906::root:: output = 2013-12-21 14:27:47::DEBUG::common_utils::907::root:: stderr = Password for user postgres: psql: fe_sendauth: no password supplied I temporarily solved putting this entry for unix domains local access in my pg-hba.conf and restarting the db service local all postgres trust and dwh setup completed ok with this ouptut below where I see a possible bug in the initial username request But what if a fresh install? Would the setup give the same error for default fc19 restricted postgres setup? Also, It asks me if I want to create it and instead of asking the username it suddenly outputs an error also at first input But then it asks the username again and all goes well. The first request shouldn't give error... [root@tekkaman ~]# ovirt-engine-dwh-setup Welcome to ovirt-engine-dwh setup utility This utility can configure a read only user for DB access.
