Empty cgroup files on centos 7.3 host
by Florian Schmid 18 Dec '17

18 Dec '17

Hi, I wanted to monitor disk IO and R/W on all of our oVirt centos 7.3 hypervisor hosts, but it looks like that all those files are empty. For example: ls -al /sys/fs/cgroup/blkio/machine.slice/machine-qemu\\x2d14\\x2dHostedEngine.scope/ insgesamt 0 drwxr-xr-x. 2 root root 0 30. Mai 10:09 . drwxr-xr-x. 16 root root 0 26.

Looking at this post: http://lists.ovirt.org/pipermail/users/2017-January/079011.html this should work. Is this normal on centos 7.3 with oVirt installed? How can I get those values, without monitoring all VMs directly? oVirt Version we use: 4.1.1.8-1.el7.centos BR Florian

using oVirt with newer librbd1
by Matthias Leopold 18 Nov '17

18 Nov '17

Hi, we want to use a Ceph cluster as the main storage for our oVirt 4.1.x datacenter. We successfully tested using librbd1-12.2.1-0.el7 package from Ceph repos instead of the standard librbd1-0.94.5-2.el7 from CentOS 7 in an oVirt virtualization node. Are there any caveats when doing so? Will this work in oVirt 4.2? thx matthias

Ovirt 4.0 and EL 7.4
by Alan Griffiths 12 Nov '17

12 Nov '17

Hi, Is 4.0 supported/known to work on CentOS 7.4? I've just tried to upgrade one of the hosts in my lab from 7.3 to 7.4 and now vdsm-network fails to start with vdsm-tool: libvirt: XML-RPC error : authentication failed: authentication failed To even get this far I had to exclude gluster packages as 7.4 introduces 3.8 but ovirt 4.0 repo is still on 3.7. So, more generally. If I'm on ovirt 4.0, gluster 3.7 and EL 7.3. What is the best ordering for getting to ovirt 4.1 and EL 7.4? Thanks, Alan

ovirtmgmt network

This is a multi-part message in MIME format. --------------4ED07EBEEF5FDCFA459DA49E Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Hi, I have a question about ovirtmgmt network. When deploying Hosted-Engine it creates ovirtmgmt bridge on top of main nic of the host. This means the HE will be connected to the same network as the main Host connection. Is it possible to separate those subnet, let say I would have something like Host: IP: 10.0.a.b (VLAN a untagged) The host has an IP address on that interface GW: 10.0.a.gw Then i would have a tagged VLAN on top of that interface : IF2 : 10.0.c.x (VLAN c tagged) The host has no IP address on that interface GW: 10.0.c.gw Would it be possible to have the HE connected on IF2, if Yes how do we deploy such a setup?

Italian translation

Hi, looking at https://translate.zanata.org/iteration/view/ovirt/ovirt-4.2 I see Italian translation dropped under 80% for 4.2 after yesterday update. If you have some time and know Italian, it's a good time for contributing translations.

oVirt Node 4.1.6 on IBM x3650 M3
by Jon bae 02 Nov '17

02 Nov '17

Hello everybody, I would like to install oVirt Node on a IBM Machine, but after the installation it can not boot. I get the message: "/boot/efi/..." file not found I try many different things like turn of uefi options in bios etc. but with no effect. Now I figure out that when I install full CentOS 7.3 from live DVD it just boot normal. Is there any workaround to get this to work? Regards Jonathan

VM resource allocation and IO Threads
by Gianluca Cecchi 02 Nov '17

02 Nov '17

Hello, can anyone give any pointer to deeper information about what in subject and the value for "Num Of IO Threads" configuration, best practices and to-be-expected improvements? I read also here: https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_virtualization/4.1/ht… but in some points it seems not so clear to me: eg: If a virtual machine has more than one disk, you can enable or change the number of IO threads to improve performance. but also Red Hat recommends using the default number of IO threads, which is 1. There is also a note about deactivation and activation of disks: does it mean that even if I poweroff the VM and change its config I have to make this step after? Anyone has run benchmarks? Does it make sense if my VM has 3 disks to configure 6 IO threads for example? Do IO threads map to SCSI controllers inside the guest or what? Thanks in advance, Gianluca
