RDP as default console for Windows VM
by Anantha Raghava 14 Nov '18

14 Nov '18

Hi, In the past, we could set RDP as default console for Windows VM. VMs used to reboot once we set RDP under console options & become default for all users. In the new versions I am unable to achieve the same result. Is there a way to set RDP as default Console for Windows VM? -- Thanks & Regards, Anantha Raghava eXzaTech Consulting And Services Pvt.

Ovirt VDI
by Hari Prasanth Loganathan 14 Nov '18

14 Nov '18

Hi Team, I created a VM which has one disk. For this VM, I created two Virtual Desktop (VDI_1 and VDI_2) using open-UDS and it created successfully. *Consider the following scenario* : 1) I took a console for VDI_1 and created a file in it using the console 2) I took the console for VDI_2 and checked whether the file created in VDI_1 is available in it but as per the VDI concept it is not available Could someone clarify the below use case, Now when I looked at the Disk associated with the VDI, It seems the Disk of the VM is same for the VDI_1 and VDI_2, so How does the file created in VDI_1 is not reflecting in VDI_2?

Hi! Is there a way to manage several external standalone KVM's with oVirt? So to say - import the KVM Hosts (not the VM's). regards, Markus

Memory usage is inaccurate on ovirt web manager.
by patrickstar12358＠hotmail.com 14 Nov '18

Hi buddy,I encoutered a issue: Enviroment:ovirt 3.5,node2+node3+engine,node2 and node3 are in the same cluster. node2:64GB memory node3:64GB memory If I try to start 25 VMs on node2,node2's Memory usage is almost up to 80% But if I start 25 VMs on node3,node3's Memory usage is normal,about 70% VMs are all the same. And I checked out "Hosts>General". on node2: Physical Memory:64301 MB total, 49512 MB used, 14789 MB free Swap Size:28567 MB total, -858090 MB used, 886657 MB free Shared Memory:57% Max free Memory for scheduling new VMs:24191 MB Memory Page Sharing:Active on node3: Physical Memory:64301 MB total, 37938 MB used, 26363 MB free Swap Size:28567 MB total, 161 MB used, 28406 MB free Shared Memory:98% Max free Memory for scheduling new VMs:24191 MB Memory Page Sharing:Active Best regard

Can I Move a Fiber Channel Domain between different environments?
by Jacob Green 13 Nov '18

13 Nov '18

We have two Ovirt environments, our existing environment is Ovirt 4.1 And we want to migrate to our 4.2 environment, we chose this path because upgrading had a lot of issues for us, also we are migrating our cluster environment to a new IP scheme. So this made the most sense to us. The question we have now is can we simply move an existing Fiber Channel domain from our Ovirt 4.1 environment to our 4.2 environment. I see information here that suggests we can, https://ovirt.org/documentation/admin-guide/chap-Storage/ however there is information further down in the document that seems conflicting or I am confused, I am willing to accept that. *Near the top of the page I linked it says the following* "Note:The export storage domain is deprecated. Storage data domains can be unattached from a data center and imported to another data center in the same environment, or in a different environment. Virtual machines, floating virtual disk images, and templates can then be uploaded from the imported storage domain to the attached data center. SeeImporting Existing Storage Domains <https://ovirt.org/documentation/admin-guide/chap-Storage/sect-Importing_Exi…>for information on importing storage domains." **Ok cool so I should be able to import the storage domain into a new environment? According to that information it would seem so.* * *However further down it says the following,* "Reusing LUNs LUNs cannot be reused, as is, to create a storage domain or virtual disk. If you try to reuse the LUNs, the Administration Portal displays the following error message:" So I do not want to make a mistake, and remove my storage domain from my original ovirt environment just to find I cannot re add it to the new ovirt environment, and if I do that will I be able to import the VMs? Thank you for any guidance on this topic, It would be much appreciated. I guess the TLDR would be is the part pasted below of the linked documentation accurate for fiber channel? "Data Importing an existing data storage domain allows you to access all of the virtual machines and templates that the data storage domain contains. After you import the storage domain, you must manually import virtual machines, floating disk images, and templates into the destination data center. The process for importing the virtual machines and templates that a data storage domain contains is similar to that for an export storage domain. However, because data storage domains contain all the virtual machines and templates in a given data center, importing data storage domains is recommended for data recovery or large-scale migration of virtual machines between data centers or environments. Important: You can import existing data storage domains that were attached to data centers with a compatibility level of 3.5 or higher." Please forgive my confusion. -- Jacob Green Systems Admin American Alloy Steel 713-300-5690
