Ovirt 4.1 USB Api problems
by Adolfo 17 Mar '17

17 Mar '17

Hi, I don't know if this is the correct place for this question (i hope it is ;-) ). We are trying to make "enable USB support" work with a machine created from python ovirtsdk4 api, here is the code: cluster = ovirt.types.Cluster(id=six.binary_type(clusterId)) template = ovirt.types.Template(id=six.binary_type(templateId)) if usbType in ('native', 'legacy'): usb = ovirt.types.Usb(enabled=True, type=ovirt.types.UsbType.NATIVE if usbType == 'native' else ovirt.types.UsbType.LEGACY) else: usb = ovirt.types.Usb(enabled=False) memoryPolicy = ovirt.types.MemoryPolicy(guaranteed=guaranteedMB * 1024 * 1024) par = ovirt.types.Vm(name=name, cluster=cluster, template=template, description=comments, type=ovirt.types.VmType.DESKTOP, memory=memoryMB * 1024 * 1024, memory_policy=memoryPolicy, usb=usb) # display=display, return api.system_service().vms_service().add(par).id The cuestion is that the machines gets correctly created, but when we try to start the machine, we get an this error (extract from vdsm): Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/share/vdsm/virt/vm.py", line 552, in _startUnderlyingVm self._run() File "/usr/share/vdsm/virt/vm.py", line 1994, in _run self._connection.createXML(domxml, flags), File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/vdsm/libvirtconnection.py", line 123, in wrapper ret = f(*args, **kwargs) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/vdsm/utils.py", line 941, in wrapper return func(inst, *args, **kwargs) File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/libvirt.py", line 3784, in createXML if ret is None:raise libvirtError('virDomainCreateXML() failed', conn=self) libvirtError: Error XML: Duplicate USB controllers with index 0 The question is, that if to this machine we have created, from administration interface, remove an add support for usb, the machine works, and the generated XML differs: This is the difference we have found: < <controller index="0" model="piix3-uhci" type="usb"> < <address bus="0x00" domain="0x0000" function="0x2" slot="0x01" type="pci" /> < </controller> 40a38 > <address bus="0x00" domain="0x0000" function="0x0" slot="0x02" type="pci" /> The "<" are from the non working (created from API call), and the ">" are same machine after disabling and enabling again "usb support". Is this a bug?, if not, ¿How is supposed to be enabled USB support from API on VM Creation?, By the way, the equivalent code for oVirt 3.x was working without problems, the problems arises from 4.0 onwards. Sorry for the inconveniences, and thank in advance for any help, Adolfo Gómez

How to configure Cloud-init in Guest OS ?
by TranceWorldLogic . 17 Mar '17

17 Mar '17

Hi, I am trying to use cloud-int to provide some text file in guest OS as mention in below link. (tried using sdk) But it is not working. http://www.ovirt.org/develop/release-management/features/cloud/cloud-init-i… 1> Do I need to do some configure cloud-init in Guest OS ? -> I hav just install cloud-init package in my 2 guest For centos 6.8 => yum install cloud-init For ubuntu 14.05 => apt-get install cloud-init 2> Do cloud-init permanently write network configuration in ifconfig file(Centos) or interface file (ubuntu)? Thanks, ~Rohit

ovirt-shell -- cannot even get started
by Phil Meyer 17 Mar '17

17 Mar '17

This is either some very obscure syntax, or it may not be working. Difficult to tell, since the error message seems to be generic: ... ==================================== ERROR ================================= "https://engine-tst/ovirt-engine/api" is invalid url format, valid format is http[s]://server:port/path, where path is usually "ovirt-engine/api" or, for older versions of the engine, just "api". ============================================================================ ... That error is reported no matter where it is run from, and no matter what combination of manual or automated interaction is used. It should not be this hard. 42 different combinations were tried. In one instance when using localhost as the hostname, it actually asked for the certificate first, and then gave me the same error as above. Lets just say that the command line was very familiar to me when Larry Wall wrote the Configure script (that was before the GNU configure scripts). A strait up actual example that works would be nice, or an explanation of prerequisites, if there are any. None are stated. There is lots of mention of port numbers, but no actual port numbers suggested. Does not the ovirt-shell talk to the web server at port 443 if https is specified? The lsof command does not show any listeners that seem likely as a cli interface: -> sudo lsof -i | grep -i listen systemd 1 root 42u IPv6 9030 0t0 TCP *:sunrpc (LISTEN) systemd 1 root 43u IPv4 9031 0t0 TCP *:sunrpc (LISTEN) ovirt-ima 582 root 5u IPv4 9196 0t0 TCP *:54323 (LISTEN) ovirt-web 954 ovirt 4u IPv4 14915 0t0 TCP *:synchronet-db (LISTEN) httpd 959 root 4u IPv6 18622 0t0 TCP *:http (LISTEN) httpd 959 root 6u IPv6 18630 0t0 TCP *:https (LISTEN) sshd 962 ovirt-vmconsole 3u IPv4 17902 0t0 TCP *:EtherNet/IP-1 (LISTEN) sshd 962 ovirt-vmconsole 4u IPv6 17904 0t0 TCP *:EtherNet/IP-1 (LISTEN) sshd 1048 root 3u IPv4 19474 0t0 TCP *:ssh (LISTEN) sshd 1048 root 4u IPv6 19477 0t0 TCP *:ssh (LISTEN) postgres 1237 postgres 3u IPv4 19552 0t0 TCP *:postgres (LISTEN) postgres 1237 postgres 4u IPv6 19553 0t0 TCP *:postgres (LISTEN) java 3042 ovirt 371u IPv6 20711 0t0 TCP localhost:8702 (LISTEN) java 3042 ovirt 389u IPv6 24722 0t0 TCP localhost:8706 (LISTEN) And yes, the unfamiliar ones were tried. :) The last straw was when a packet sniffer failed to capture ANY traffic related to these attempts. Apparently the ovirt-shell command fails before even attempting a connection.

how to attach lvm device to VM ?
by TranceWorldLogic . 16 Mar '17

16 Mar '17

Hi, I have created LVM partition in host. I don't want that partition to act as storage domain in ovirt, but I want to attach that partition to VM. So I used virsh command to attach device to VM and it was successfully attached (block device as raw type). But when I tried to take snapshot of VM from Ovirt, it fail to get snapshot. I think it may be due to vdsm as it is not aware of newly attached lvm device. Can someone help me to know another way to attach device to VM in Ovirt? I tried with vdsClient but not got idea or command that will attach device to VM. Thanks, ~Rohit

virtio-scsi drive order?
by gflwqs gflwqs 16 Mar '17

16 Mar '17

Hi list! When we upgraded our ovirt environment to 4.1 we get the virtio-scsi interface as default for virtual disks. We have seen a difference in drive order from when we used the virtio interface. Before when we added disks the order of the drives were set by which order the disks was created. So if i had 1 disk as os disk it became vda and added a 50 GB disk that disk became vdb and then added another 8GB disk that became vdc. But now when i add two additional disks with the virtio-scsi interface like the above when i reboot the vm the 50GB disk become sdc and the 8GB disk become sdb even that i created the 50GB disk first? How is the order decided in the virtio-scsi interface? What can i do to ensure that the disks come in the order that i create them? Regards Christian

iSCSI and multipath deliberation
by Marcin Kruk 16 Mar '17

16 Mar '17

In my opionion the main problem in configuration iscsi and multipath is that the ovirt developers try to start everything automaticaly during installation, and then during start services like vdsmd. But during installation process adminstrator shoud choose the right multipath WWID identifier only. And administrator should be responsible for setting multipath and iSCSI properly. Otherwise ovirt installator does everything automaticaly in the universal way which is weak due to so many storage types. Howgh :)
