VM auto start with Host?
by m.skrzetuski＠gmail.com 06 Jan '20

06 Jan '20

Hello everyone, please tell me it is possible to auto start all VMs together with a Host. How do I configure this? I found some RFEs and Bugzilla Bugs and Redhat engineers promising this but no docs about how to enable it. Kind regards Skrzetuski

I do use automatic migration policy. The main question you have to solve is: 1. Why the nodes became 'Non-operational' .Usually this happens when the management interface (in your case HoatedEngine VM) could not reach the nodes over the management network. By default, management is going over the ovirtmgmt network. I guess you have created the new network. Marked that new network as management network and then the switch was off , causing 'Non-Operational state'. 2. Migrating VMs is usually a safe approach, but this behavior is quite strange. If a node ia Non-operational -> there could be no successful migration. 3. Some of the VMs got paused due to storage issue. Are you using GlusterFS, NFS or iSCSI ? If yes, you need to clarify why you lost your storage. I guess for now you can mark each VM to be migrated only manually (VM -> Edit) and if they are critical VMs , set a high Availability from each VM's Edit options. In such case, if a node fails, the VMs will be restarted on another node. 4. Have you setup node fencing ? For example APC, iLo, iDRAC and other fencing mechanisms can allow the HostedEngine use another Host as fencing proxy and to reset the problematic Hypervisor. P.S.: You can define the following alias in '~/.bashrc' : alias virsh='virsh -c qemu:///system?authfile=/etc/ovirt-hosted-engine/virsh_auth.conf' Then you can verify your VMs even when a HostedEngine is down: 'virsh list --all' Best Regards, Strahil NikolovOn Dec 27, 2019 08:40, zhouhao(a)vip.friendtimes.net wrote: > > I had a crash yesterday in my ovirt cluster, which is made up of 3 nodes. > > I just tried to add a new network, but the whole cluster crashed > > I added a new network to my cluster, but while I was debugging the newswitch, when the switch was poweroff, the node detected the network card status down and then moved to Non-Operational state. > > > > At this time all of 3 nodes moved to Non-Operational state. > > All virtual machines have started automatic migration,When I received the alert email, all virtual machines were suspended > > > > > > In 15 minutes my newswitch were power up again.The 3 ovirt-nodes become active again, but many virtual machines become unresponsive or suspended due to forced migration, and only a few virtual machines are pulled up again due to cancelled migration > > After I tried to terminate the migration tasks and restart ovirt-engine service, I was still unable to restore most of the virtual machines, so I had to restart 3 ovirt-nodes to restore my virtual machine > > I didn't recover all the virtual machines until an hour later > > > Then I modify my migration policy to " Do Not Migrate Virtual Machines" > > Which migration Policy do you recommend? > > I'm afraid to use cluster... > > ________________________________ > zhouhao(a)vip.friendtimes.net

Just a question from curiosity. Can't we just define second cluster and move each VM from old cluster to the new one ?

How do I do bridged networking?
by m.skrzetuski＠gmail.com 06 Jan '20

06 Jan '20

Hello everyone, how do I set up bridged networking? I want to give my VMs direct access to the network, that is: they should get an IP from DHCP and appear as "normal" nodes. This is working out of the box for Proxmox. I was not able to find documentation that would make it possible to configure. Can I configure it via https://github.com/oVirt/ovirt-ansible-infra? Kind regards Skrzetuski

Usage statistics or graph for an oVirt environment?
by Victor Hooi 06 Jan '20

06 Jan '20

Hi, Is there an easy way to generate a dashboard or some kind of graph to track the usage of an oVirt environment? This would be things like how many VMs were created, or started, how many successful logins, how many clones etc. (Use case is to justify an internal environment/use case) Thanks, Victor

Having an issue with Ovirt. Ovirt Engine server died. I have no idea about Ovirt and I am way over my head here. Trying to put the engine back together to get my environment working again. Can anyone help me here? Thanks in advance.

I setup my VMs to use the ovirtmgmt network as it is defined for all kinds of traffic. As you use Intel NUC - just create a VM manually with ovirtmgmt and if it works - check the ansible playbooks.

Re: Power management and storage domains error when running Ansible tasks!

If you have some kind of ethernet-controlled power plug - you can have fencing (at least I have considered that). Or you can edit the Host and disable the power management at all.

You need to speciify the method to be used for power fencing - that could be HPE's iLO, Dell's iDRAC, APC UPS or something else.
