ovirt with 389 server inactive groups
by Paul Robert Marino 18 Aug '14

18 Aug '14

I have ovirt engine running and connected to a 389 server with the memberof plugin enabled and working properly. I can add users and assign them to roles without any issues. when I look at a user I can see all the LDAP groups they are a member of. when I run engine-manage-domains -action=validate it tells me the domain is valid. here is my problem when I try to assign a role to an LDAP group it looks like it works but in the general tab when under the group it tells me the status is Inactive. dose any one know how to enable the group?

[SOLVED] RE: Reactivate a storage domain
by Dwight Schauer 18 Aug '14

18 Aug '14

Hello Ovirt users, Well, I solved the problem. When the NFS volume had filled up that knocked out non Ovirt managed VMs as well including DHCP servers. I'd been using DHCP for the management network. The Ovirt hypervisors never refreshed when I brought the DHCP servers back. (The management network was no longer connected). I went into one Ovirt hypervisor, configured it with static, and after a couple of minutes it become the SPM on its own without my involvement and the storage domains came back.

list of answer file parameters?
by Jorick Astrego 17 Aug '14

17 Aug '14

Hi, I'm looking everywhere for a full list of "OVESETUP" parameters that can be used in the installer answerfile. Searched the red hat manual and found some in: "3.6. Passwords in Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Manager" But there are more. I can get it from a finished install but some parameters only apply to some types of installation. I found this one form lzap: https://gist.github.com/lzap/7a8cbb7f44d41e4ad171 But I don't know if it's complete or just for his personal use. No hurry, I know you are all busy ;-) Kind regards, Jorick Astrego Netbulae B.V.

Vm:s can not be started
by Jonas Israelsson 15 Aug '14

15 Aug '14

I screwed up massively today when accidentally assigned a new virtual network (on my host) the same IP-address as on my iscsi SAN subnet and as a result the whole DC collapsed (I only have one host). Recovering was not quite as easy since the host network configuration only can be managed while the host is either in up, down or maintenance mode, and mine seem to be somewhere in between. I finally however managed to remove the network from the cluster tab marking the net on the hosts nic with a "?" and when the host came back online and I could later also be remove the faulty network from the nic. All VM:s now where either in mode pause or down, but I could not get any started to I just powered all of them down. Now everything DC-wise it up and running again still several VM:s can not be started. Out of about 30 vm;s I have only managed to get one up and running. The following it written to the engine.log when trying to fire up a non-working VM. 2014-08-15 15:26:23,638 INFO [org.ovirt.engine.core.vdsbroker.vdsbroker.DestroyVDSCommand] (DefaultQuartzScheduler_Worker-53) START, DestroyVDSCommand(HostName = ft.elementary.se, HostId = 97c43383-3770-4b0c-810c-a597bb187898, vmId=1b13210a-bf05-41f7-b42e-c4b34ca2214d, force=false, secondsToWait=0, gracefully=false), log id: 1aaa6470 2014-08-15 15:26:34,110 INFO [org.ovirt.engine.core.vdsbroker.vdsbroker.DestroyVDSCommand] (DefaultQuartzScheduler_Worker-53) FINISH, DestroyVDSCommand, log id: 1aaa6470 2014-08-15 15:26:34,117 INFO [org.ovirt.engine.core.dal.dbbroker.auditloghandling.AuditLogDirector] (DefaultQuartzScheduler_Worker-53) Correlation ID: null, Call Stack: null, Custom Event ID: -1, Message: VM moleman is down.

oVirt italian translation
by Giorgio Bersano 15 Aug '14

15 Aug '14

Hi oVirt UX team, we (Gianluca and me) are slowly progressing on the job of having italian as a fully translated language in oVirt. One of our problems is that we don't know what will be the outcome of our work until an italian embedding release will be available. Probably the first one will not be something to be really proud. To have a prototipe to get a glance of how it is now would be really useful, don't care about general quality. So I asked Sandro if could it be possible to have italian translation in the 3.5RC release at the point where it is now (almost 35% done) and then remove it from the official 3.5 release but he said it is not on his possibilities. An alternative he suggested was to have a "special" 3.5 development branch (something like ovirt-3.5-ita) just to give us the opportunity to get a taste of what it would be in the end. Please tell us what do you think about. Thanks, Giorgio.

Ovirt SSL Question
by Punit Dambiwal 15 Aug '14

15 Aug '14

Hi All, I have one question regarding the SSL settings in Ovirt....let me explain my environment first :- 1. Ovirt engine :- mgmt.3linux.com 2. Standalone websocket proxy :- web-proxy.3linux.com 3. Our Own Portal :- portal.3linux.com We have the above architecture...we fetch the VM console from the websocket proxy to our own portal through API....because still we are using selfsigned certificate...we need to trust the certificate every time,whenever we open the VM console... (https://<web-proxy.3linux.com >:<port>) When we initiate the VM console through our own web portal the url ( https://portal.3linux.com/content/ovirt/noVNC/vm-console.php?id=6e0caf73-ae… we accept the SSL certificate with https://<web-proxy.3linux.com>:<port> ....then it will open as expected but if we didn't accept the certificate manually...then it through failed to connect:1006 error... We don't want that every time end user will accept the certificate manually...as our link to open VM console is different then webproxy.... Now we want to replace the self signed certificate with valid SSL....can any one tell me where we need to put the certificates and how to generate the CSR for them and how many SSL we need to purchase to make this thing workable without accepting the certificate everytime.... Thanks, Punit

Detecting already existing VM on the attached LUN.
by santosh 14 Aug '14

14 Aug '14

Hi, I had a LUN(say L1) from NetApp storage array attached to RHEV iSCSI Storage Domain. I had couple of VMs on this storage domain. I had destroyed this storage domain when LUN became inaccessible for some reasons. Then I created new Storage Doamin with different LUN(say L2) and created couple of more VMs on it. Now first LUN (L1) is available. In this scenario, I have following two questions - 1) Can I attach L1 directly? 2) If I can, will I be able to access VMs present on L1? Thanks, Santosh. ***************************Legal Disclaimer*************************** "This communication may contain confidential and privileged material for the sole use of the intended recipient.
