Option to put host into maintenance after installation of new host
by Florian Schmid 18 Dec '17

18 Dec '17

Hi, would it be possible for future releases to add an option to the add new host tab to put the host in maintenance after installation instead of activating it. The same would be for reinstall. I have the problem now, that all hosts after installation will be activated, but network is not configured yet. Therefore host will be in non operational state and will be rebooted immediately. The only solution I have now is to configure power management after the host has all networks configured. I want to have all my networks as required, because otherwise someone will forget to add all of them and then you have other issues. BR Florian

Reassign ovirtmgmt to a new bond with ansible
by Luca 'remix_tj' Lorenzetto 18 Dec '17

18 Dec '17

Hello, I'm trying to create a playbook for deployment of a new node in my ovirt deployment. I'm using the role ovirt-infra from ovirt-infra-roles 1.1.1. I'm creating a new bond and assigning ovirtmgmt to that bond: This is the value of the variable host_networks printed out by ansible: TASK [host_networks] ********************************************************************************************************************************* ok: [localhost] => { "host_networks": [ { "bond": { "interfaces": [ "enp2s0f0", "enp2s0f1" ], "mode": 1, "name": "bond0" }, "check": true, "name": "ovirt01.intranet.company.it", "networks": [ { "address": "10.5.40.197", "boot_protocol": "static", "gateway": "10.5.43.254", "name": "ovirtmgmt", "prefix": "255.255.252.0" } ], "save": true }, { "bond": { "interfaces": [ "enp2s0f2", "enp2s0f3" ], "mode": 1, "name": "bond1" }, "check": true, "name": "ovirt01.intranet.company.it", "networks": [ { "address": "10.5.160.47", "boot_protocol": "static", "name": "NFS", "netmask": "255.255.252.0" } ], "save": true } ] } When running the playbook i get: Error: Fault reason is "Operation Failed". Fault detail is "[Cannot setup Networks. Network ovirtmgmt is already attached via attachment 3315148d-f669-48b0-9c16-601faaea9ce5. A new attachment cannot be used for the same network, please reuse the existing one.]" How do i reuse the existing attachment?

Another attempt to fully check deploy of ovirt-node-ng and hoste engine in my lab environment. Ovirt node image used: ovirt-node-ng-installer-ovirt-4.2-pre-2017121215.iso Three HPE Proliant BL680cG7, with local storage (Gluster). Full deploy from scratch, executed two times just to have confirmation. In both cases I had the same condition. Gluster deploy complete without issues. Hosted Engine do not complete, hangs at the end of the process, when HE VM is answering correctly. Imported two additional hosts (now that part works correctly) Added first data domain, ok Imported automatically the hosted-engine data domain Failed to import the Hosted Engine VM is the error that appear in the event log. Attached the HE deploy log and HE engine.log, where are reported all the attempts to import HE VM: 2017-12-14 01:43:38,733+01 ERROR [org.ovirt.engine.core.bll.HostedEngineImporter] (EE-ManagedThreadFactory-engine-Thread-259) [1193f931] Failed importing the Hosted Engine VM 2017-12-14 01:43:38,739+01 ERROR [org.ovirt.engine.core.dal.dbbroker.auditloghandling.AuditLogDirector] (EE-ManagedThreadFactory-engine-Thread-259) [1193f931] EVENT_ID: HOSTED_ENGINE_VM_IMPORT_FAILED(10,457), Failed importing the Hosted Engine VM 2017-12-14 01:43:53,703+01 ERROR [org.ovirt.engine.core.bll.HostedEngineImporter] (EE-ManagedThreadFactory-engine-Thread-266) [4d597e01] Failed importing the Hosted Engine VM 2017-12-14 01:44:08,812+01 ERROR [org.ovirt.engine.core.bll.HostedEngineImporter] (EE-ManagedThreadFactory-engine-Thread-273) [5cef57aa] Failed importing the Hosted Engine VM This is the screenshot of the "frozen" phase [image: Immagine incorporata 1] Any hint about find the reason about the failed import ?

about iscsi multipathing
by Nathanaël Blanchet 14 Dec '17

14 Dec '17

Hi all, It should be a good idea not to allow adding a new iscsi multipath profile when hosts don't have an IP address on the selected network... or make unvailable network that don't have IP address in the dialog. Currently, engine allows it without error while it is not effective on the hosts. Should be a RFE, shouldn't be? -- Nathanaël Blanchet Supervision réseau Pôle Infrastrutures Informatiques 227 avenue Professeur-Jean-Louis-Viala 34193 MONTPELLIER CEDEX 5 Tél. 33 (0)4 67 54 84 55 Fax 33 (0)4 67 54 84 14 blanchet(a)abes.fr

Storage Migration issues
by Mark Steele 14 Dec '17

14 Dec '17

Hello, We have begun migrating VM boot disks from one Storage domain to another. Both the storage domains are NFS and both are V3. The Ovirt instance is oVirt Engine Version: 3.5.0.1-1.el6 I am shutting down the VM's prior to migration (not a live migration). When the disks complete their move, I start the VM back up on the original host. The hosts are all running either Ubuntu 14.04 LTS or 16.04 LTS I have experienced the following two issues: - when the VM's come back up, they are not mounting an external NFS mount that is defined in /etc/fstab. The mount can be reinstated manually and survives subsequent reboots - but every VM that has an external NFS mount has this issue after migration - VM's that have a docker instance running no longer respond to web requests on the web server ports that the docker instance is running. Any thoughts on why this would happen would be greatly appreciated.
