[Users] snapshots, checkpoints etc...
by Jiri Belka 21 Apr '13

21 Apr '13

Probably not the best list for this question but anyway... * "snapshot" as it is done with 'savevm' from qemu monitor saves disk, cpu, memory state of running VM... but 1. it must be qcow2 image 2. it pauses the VM for couple of seconds is this right? * snapshots is only for block devices, are done offline * live snapshot is only for block devices, can be done online * snapshot tree with branches is not supported now am I right? So my understanding there is no way to have a "photo", in qemu language _checkpoint_, in VMWare language _snapshot_ without interupting the VM. Am I right? Any comments? This topic is quite confusing while searching Internet. jbelka

What should I need to configure to put HA working? I mean, when a host broke all the VM automatically move to another host. Do I need to have Power management enabled? Thanks

[Users] How to import KVM machines into oVirt iSCSI
by Nicolas Ecarnot 12 Apr '13

12 Apr '13

Hi, Reading the docs all day long helped me to setup a nice Data center in iSCSI mode, connected to a big LUN in a san. Many many points are working, mostly thanks to you, people of this list. Apart from this oVirt setup (1 manager, 3 nodes, 1 san), I have a completely separated ubuntu hypervisor running a standalone local KVM with a local storage. I have not a clear view of how I will manage to import these VM into oVirt. Of course, I've read about ovirt-v2v (and its huge amount of dependencies...), but I'm not sure this is the way I have to follow? As far as I've understood, v2v seems to be dedicated to connection between oVirt datacenters, or vmware or Xen plateforms, but I see nothing about the connection to a distant standalone KVM hypervisor. One more thing that is unclear to me, and seems related, is the notion of export / import domain. I read that this principle could allow me to export (then to backup) my VMs. This could help me to import some VMs. But I read that this export domain has to be the same type of my datacenter (iscsi), so this is not helping me with my standalone kvm hypervisor. I'd be glad to get some light on these points. -- Nicolas Ecarnot

[Users] VM crashes and doesn't recover
by Limor Gavish 10 Apr '13

10 Apr '13

Hello, I am using Ovirt 3.2 on Fedora 18: [wil@bufferoverflow ~]$ rpm -q vdsm vdsm-4.10.3-7.fc18.x86_64 (the engine is built from sources). I seem to have hit this bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=922515 in the following configuration: Single host (no migrations) Created a VM, installed an OS inside (Fedora18) stopped the VM. created template from it. Created an additional VM from the template using thin provision. Started the second VM. in addition to the errors in the logs the storage domains (both data and ISO) crashed, i.e went to "unknown" and "inactive" states respectively. (see the attached engine.log) I attached the VDSM and engine logs. is there a way to work around this problem? It happens repeatedly. Yuval Meir

Hello, what is the status of support for spice console with ie9 (32bit on win7 32bit in my case) and 3.2 final? I have a windows xp vm but when I try to login to console from win7+ie9 I don't get any activex request to install.... ie exact version: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0BwoPbcrMv8mvVHZhYnczY3lKaTA/edit?usp=sharing If after a few minutes I click again on console button I get Error: A Request to the Server failed with the following Status Code: 400 Tried with both admin and user portal. Thanks, Gianluca

[Users] Feature request: allow usbtablet and vram config via UI
by Dead Horse 05 Apr '13

05 Apr '13

Allow for a usbtablet input device to be enabled and used. Perhaps via the console configuration UI for a VM in the admin and user portals. -Highly useful in the event that a guest OS does not have the spice agent loaded nor is it available for said guest OS. -Also in the case of guest OS that simply does not want to work and play well with <input type='mouse' bus='ps2'> - All Operating systems since ~1998 understand <input type='tablet' bus='usb'/> and will deal with mouse events in absolute mode. Allow for vram and vram_ size to be configurable for CIrrus(VNC) and QXL(Spice) console types. Again probably best suited to have this on console configuration UI for a VM in the admin and user portals. - Default VRAM sizes are not enough to allow for larger resolutions and pixel depths at times. - Especially the case in multiple monitor SPICE, fullscreen, or VNC consoles - More VRAM is useful in the case of attempting to run accelerated applications within a QXL configured guest. The above can be altered via VDSM hooks however this is rather painful. Additionally these options or similar are configurable in other competing solutions. - DHC
