oVirt 3.5: Issue with FC Storage on EL7 host
by The Austrian 12 Nov '14

12 Nov '14

Just a heads up I ran into an issue with adding a Fibre Channel storage domain on a CentOS 7 host. vdsm-4.16.7-1.gitdb83943.el7.x86_64 from oVirt 3.5 Release repo This version of vdsm still has the code in /usr/share/vdsm/storage/hba.py that performs issue_lip to rescan fibre channel HBAs. In my setup, the HBA paths are still recovering when 'dmsetup status' is run resulting in paths being offline and the LUNs being made unavailable to oVirt (UI shows exclamation mark). Issue discussed here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1159839 Quick workaround that worked for me: (1) Comment line 107 in /usr/share/vdsm/storage/multipath.py i.e.: #supervdsm.getProxy().hbaRescan() (2) Restart supervdsmd systemctl restart supervdsmd.service Regards Paul

replace ovirt engine host
by ml ml 12 Nov '14

12 Nov '14

Hello List, currently i am testing backup and restore of my ovirt engine host. So far the backup and recovery works. Since i have a nfs ISO_DOMAIN i need to remount the nfs mounts on my vdsm hosts/nodes. This is kinda ugly but okay :) However, my storage information seems to go weird. It looks like the ovirt engine gets confused about the current status. Do i have to restart vdsm after replacing the ovirt engine? When i put connect my original ovirt engine again the cluster status is okay... I test this by unplugging the original ovirt engine host network cable and doing a restore on a connrected 2nd machine. So i guess my question is: How do i replace my ovirt engine smoothly in a production enviorment? Thanks, Mario

Multiple ISO Storage Domains
by Phil Daws 12 Nov '14

12 Nov '14

Hello: How does one create multiple ISO domains ? if I try it just throws a general error "Error while executing action New NFS Storage Domain: Error creating a storage domain". And if the question is asked why would one require multiple ISO domains its when one has clusters in multiple data centers. Thanks, Phil

USB redirect
by Juan Jose 12 Nov '14

12 Nov '14

Hello everybody, I have an oVirt 3.4 deployment and I have some Windows 7 Enterprise 32 bits guests. I can't redirect USB from a Windows 7 client. I'm using remote - viewer as console. Also I have observed something wrong in my administration portal. The oVirt documentation says that I have to select Native USB mode in console properties in VM configuration but after select this mode, it doesn't remain. If I check this value in console configuration again I can see disabled, native mode value have been changed. Is there someone have had this problem?, and how I can solve it?, is it necessary to install in Windows clients us clerk software? Many thanks in advanced. Juanjo.
