Chinese oVirt community
by Yedidyah Bar David 31 Oct '16

31 Oct '16

Hi all, Recently, more and more questions are posted to users(a)ovirt.org in what seems like a result of a google translation of Chinese to English. These are usually hard to understand, and I expect the replies are also hard to understand. A recent example is [1]. Two years ago there was a discussion [2] about this on users(a)ovirt.org. Now, when searching, I find: 1. There seems to have been a domain ovirt-china.org , but it's dead now (no info about it in dns or whois). The only version of it I can find on archive.org is [3]. 2. There is a github org [4]. 3. There is a google group [5] , but it requires registration to view (and I didn't try to register). If there is an active Chinese community of oVirt users, perhaps we should give it more publicity, to make it easier to find. Otherwise, perhaps we can help by creating a list on lists.ovirt.org , or something like that. Best regards, [1] http://lists.ovirt.org/pipermail/users/2016-October/043732.html [2] http://lists.ovirt.org/pipermail/users/2014-May/024585.html http://lists.ovirt.org/pipermail/users/2014-May/024862.html http://lists.ovirt.org/pipermail/users/2014-May/024668.html [3] http://web.archive.org/web/20141203033820/http://www.ovirt-china.org/ [4] https://github.com/ovirt-china [5] https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/ovirt-china -- Didi

ovirt homeserver
by david caughey 31 Oct '16

31 Oct '16

Hi, I'm building a homeserver to run ovirt and wanted to get opinions on the best approach. The server will be used as a test/studybed for ovirt/kvm/vcloud/openstack/ceph. The server will be based around a Xeon E5 10 core with 128GB ram. Option 1: Build server with CentOS 7.2 and deploy ovirt directly on top. Option 2: Build server with CentOS 7.2 and deploy multiple ovirt instances on top of KVM. Which will be the most stable versatile method? If a GPU is used as a passthrough device can it be used on several vm's or is it restricted to 1 vm? If 2 GPU's are used can 1 be used as a dedicated passthrough to 1 vm and the other shared between the remaining vm's? Is CentOS/RH the best platform for ovirt? Is it okay/advisable to load the latest kernel, (4.8 ish), on to CentOS before installing ovirt? Any and all comments/advice welcome, David

100% disk utilization on Hosted Engine

This is a multi-part message in MIME format. --------------10436485D205AA7FD0A15C25 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Hi, I have hit a unique problem. Using oVirt 4.0.2.7-1.el7.centos since last one month and I have hit a unique problem. The Engine is reporting that Disk space allocated to Hosted engine is full and is not allowing to login to engine's console to clear some files as well. When I try to add additional storage to Hosted engine, engine admin portal reports that as Engine VM is not managed by oVirt Engine, it cannot extend the storage. Now the questions are: 1. Is it that enabling advanced DWH on the engine host is the root cause for 100GB of disk getting filled in about 1 month? 2. How do we clear the disk of some unwanted files and extend the space? 3. How do we reset the DWH database to basic? Note: CentOS 7.2 is not even allowing us to login to console to do any action. Booting the Hosted Engine VM with Live CD etc., looks like is ruled out in this case. -- Thanks & Regards, Anantha Raghava eXza Technology Consulting & Services Do not print this e-mail unless required.

oVirt 4.0 Reporting
by aleksey.maksimov＠it-kb.ru 31 Oct '16

31 Oct '16

Hello oVirt guru`s! In the first half of 2016 was the following information: http://lists.ovirt.org/pipermail/users/2016-June/040549.html Are there any news about the built-in oVirt 4.0 reporting mechanism? Is there any chance that we will see reports in the oVirt web console?

If the data is lost during a host failure we have options to restore the data, but do not want to do it on a weekly/monthly basis. The scratchpad is useful for other options we are exploring, thanks!

Persist files node-ng
by Jonas Israelsson 28 Oct '16

28 Oct '16

How do I persist files on a ng-node ? I forgot to add some needed network-configuration during install. While these manually added config files seem to survive a reboot, updating the node via the web-ui will wipe them. TIA Jonas

gluster setup in ovirt
by Thing 28 Oct '16

28 Oct '16

Hi, I have 3 machines imported into ovirt 4.0.4 just to do storage. I have no storage setup. I am a bit confused, can I add new storage from scratch via ovirt? ie picking mount points (I have /gv1 so set on each) or do I create the gluster replicated setup manually on each of the three nodes first? and import "ready made"?

gluster how to setup a volume across 3 nodes via ovirt
by Thing 28 Oct '16

28 Oct '16

Hi, I have 3 gluster nodes running, ====== [root@glusterp1 ~]# gluster peer status Number of Peers: 2 Hostname: 192.168.1.33 Uuid: 0fde5a5b-6254-4931-b704-40a88d4e89ce State: Peer in Cluster (Connected) Hostname: 192.168.1.32 Uuid: ef780f56-267f-4a6d-8412-4f1bb31fd3ac State: Peer in Cluster (Connected) ====== I have a 900gb partition on each of the three nodes ready to go, formatted xfs. However when I go into host---> storage devices it says gv_1-lvgv1 is already in use and "create brick" is greyed out. So how do I get "create brick" un-greyed? The partition isnt mounted, just setup and xfs'd ready for use. Or am I better to set it up via the CLI on glusterp1? I assume I can then import it into ovirt for use?
