Problem adding disk to VM
by Juan Jose 12 Feb '15

12 Feb '15

Hello everybody, I have oVirt Engine Version: 3.5.0.1-1.el6 in my installation and when I create a new VM and try to add a virtual disk, the engine does not add the virtual disk when I press OK button. Any message is generated in engine.log file. Is it a bug or any can give me some light about this issue? Many thanks in advanced, Juanjo.

Fenced hosts VM's never migrate
by Tim Macy 11 Feb '15

11 Feb '15

I have a 3 host cluster setup with HA enabled and fencing enabled and it appears to be working properly. Executing power management stop, start, and restart work along with host shutdown/restart following a simulated crash. When network is pulled a proxy is chosen and it powers off the downed host, and then restarts it. Since the network is still down it repeats the following in events: "Host kvm01 is not responding. It will stay in Connecting state for a grace period of 162 seconds and after that an attempt to fence the host will be issued." The real problem here is that the VM's on the host that has failed never migrate to a new host and remain down until the network is reconnected. We have tested this with back-end storage on gluster and NFS with the same result. This is on oVirt Engine Version: 3.5.1.1-1.el6. Hosts are on CentOS 7 and the Engine is standalone on CentOS 6.6.

VDSM hook for setting DSCP bits?
by Chris Adams 11 Feb '15

11 Feb '15

Is there a VDSM hook available that can set DSCP bits on a VM's network interface? I want to do some QoS for some traffic across my network, and it would be easier if I could set DSCP bits outside the VM. I see vdsm-hook-qos, but that appears to just set bandwidth control in the Linux host, not DSCP on packets for the rest of the network. -- Chris Adams <cma(a)cmadams.net>

Can't remove snapshot due to low disk space on storage domain?
by Rik Theys 11 Feb '15

11 Feb '15

Hi, I'm running the ovirt engine 3.4 series. I've created a snapshot of a VM with an OS and data disk before upgrading the machine. The upgrade went fine and I now want to remove the snapshot. Unfortunately this fails with the error: "Cannot remove Snapshot. Low disk space on target Storage Domain stadius-virt2_PERC." So I can't free disk space by removing the snapshot because I don't have enough space? When I look at the VM the disks are shown as preallocated (which is what I selected during installation). When I look at the storage tab and list the disks in my storage domain, the disks are now shown as thin provisioned with the actual size > virtual size. How can I remove this snapshot? I don't have enough free disk space in my storage domain to duplicate the data disk of my VM. Regards, Rik -- Rik Theys System Engineer KU Leuven - Dept. Elektrotechniek (ESAT) Kasteelpark Arenberg 10 bus 2440 - B-3001 Leuven-Heverlee +32(0)16/32.11.07 ---------------------------------------------------------------- <<Any errors in spelling, tact or fact are transmission errors>>

virtual disk terminology in oVirt/RHEV improvements needed?
by Gianluca Cecchi 10 Feb '15

10 Feb '15

Hello, in my opinion the terms raw, qcow2, thin provisioned, sparse, preallocated are used in sub optimal way in oVirt and RHEV documentation and create confusion for the new incoming user (but not only to him/her) My referrals for them are: oVirt Admin Guide at: http://www.ovirt.org/OVirt_Administration_Guide and the draft RHEV 3.5: https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Virtualiza… Sometimes I have to come back to docs to clear my doubts and I'm never fully satisfied. I report below only some excerpts to explain my findings oVirt 1) Virtual disks can have one of two formats, either Qcow2 or RAW. The type of storage can be either Sparse or Preallocated. Snapshots are always sparse but can be taken for disks created either as RAW or sparse. --> From above one concludes that "format" is one thing and "type" is another thing and that all the mix format/type are in general possible (depending on storage layout... see below): Qcow2/Sparse, RAW/Prellocated, Qcow2/Preallocated, RAW/Sparse But then, both in Ovirt and RHEV page 2) A virtual disk with a preallocated (RAW) format has significantly faster write speeds than a virtual disk with a thin provisioning (Qcow2) format. Thin provisioning takes significantly less time to create a virtual disk. The thin provision format is suitable for non-IO intensive virtual machines. --> now one concludes instead that format==type and that so preallocated==RAW thin provisioning==Qcow2 and also indirectly that thin provisioning == sparse because in point 1) the term sparse was the one used.. Indeed later, in section 12.2 of RHEV and in section "Understanding Virtual Disks" of oVirt guide there is the classification of the 2 "types" again, Preallocated and Thin Provisioned and the latter contains: "For sparse virtual disks backing storage is not reserved and is allocated as needed during runtime. This allows for storage overcommitment ..." And this confirms that sparse==thin provisioned In the same part for both docs 3) Table 11.1. Permitted Storage Combinations for oVirt and Table 12.1. Permitted Storage Combinations for RHEV Again there are almost-all the combinations described: For file based storage (NFS) only Qcow2/Preallocated is not contemplated For iSCSI/SAN only RAW/Sparse is not contemplated 4) Gluster last but not least, It is not clear in my opinion where should be put Gluster (file based or SAN based)... I think that depending on POSIXFS_DOMAIN (pre 3.5, correct?) or GLUSTERFS_DOMAIN usage it could match both of them.... As far as format, it seems both qcow2 and raw are possible This message is just to share my uncertainty when I have to deal with disks in oVirt and explain/compare with VMware, to make it possible to simplify life to new users. Coming from VMware world they know about: - thin provision - thick provision (lazy zeroed) - thick provision (eager zeroed) see also: https://pubs.vmware.com/vsphere-50/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.vmware.vsphere.st… In my opinion it could be useful to have a preface with a short description of all the terminology that will be used HIH improving docs, Gianluca
