How to connect to a guest with vGPU ?
by Josep Manel Andrés Moscardó 29 May '20

29 May '20

Hi, I got vGPU through mdev working but I am wondering how I would connect to the client and make use of the GPU. So far I try to access the console through SPICE and at some point in the boot process it switches to GPU and I cannot see anything else. Thanks. -- Josep Manel Andrés Moscardó Systems Engineer, IT Operations EMBL Heidelberg T +49 6221 387-8394

Ubuntu 18.04 and 16.04 cloud images hang at boot up
by suaro＠live.com 07 May '20

07 May '20

I'm using oVirt 4.3 (latest ) and able to successfully provision Centos VMs without any problems. When I attempt to provision Ubuntu VMs, they hang at startup. The console shows : ... ... [ 4.010016] Btrfs loaded [ 101.268594] random: nonblocking pool is initialized It stays like this indefinitely. Again, I have no problems with Centos images, but need Ubuntu Any tips greatly appreciated.

ovirt-guest-agent for CentOS 8
by Eduardo Mayoral 30 Mar '20

30 Mar '20

Hi, Just like many of you I am testing my first CentOS 8 VMs on top of ovirt. I am not finding the package ovirt-guest-agent.noarch . Closest I can find is qemu-guest-agent.x86_64 After installing and starting it, I do see information reported on the "Guest info" tab. Can anybody confirm if this is indeed the agent we should be using? Is there - or will there be - a more specific package for ovirt guests? Thanks! -- Eduardo Mayoral Jimeno Systems engineer, platform department. Arsys Internet. emayoral(a)arsys.es - +34 941 620 105 - ext 2153

Ovirt API and CLI
by Eugène Ngontang 19 Mar '20

19 Mar '20

Hi, I'm trying to find out there a sort of API or ovirt CLI/SDK in order to be able to interact with my ovirt VMS and associated resources. In my architecture, I have an Ovirt virtualization host, with a self-hosted engine VM to manage VMs. From the host I have the virsh command to list VMs status, but this doesn't really let me get into VMs management actions like : create, delete, get, reboot, get VMs wide informations (IPs, name, disks.....) So each time I have to login to the hosted engine web admin page to explore VM, but I'd really like to play with my Ovirt resources from my command line or programatically. The ovirt API documentation I've found is really poor, I don't know if someone here has already got the same need and had a good solution. Thanks for your help.

Windows deployment
by eevans＠digitaldatatechs.com 06 Mar '20

06 Mar '20

I have a Windows Deployment server that works with Hyper-V. I am tryng to see if it will bare metal provision to Ovirt. I have the necessary drivers loaded and initially it gets an IP and starts the installation. When it comes to the screen starting setup, I get an IP error. I have included a screenshot. Has anyone see this before? I also considered provisioning from Foreman but I would rather use what I have instead of recreating the entire installation. Any help would be appreciated. Here is a link to the actual error: ftp://ftp.digitaldatatechs.com/pub/Windows%20Provision.jpg

subnets
by eevans＠digitaldatatechs.com 05 Mar '20

05 Mar '20

I have a network in place with several subnets, one for iscsi and one for virtual pbx and VoIP phones. I use the iscsi in Ovirt, but I cannot get Ovirt to recognize and use the physical vlan 3 network for phones. If I add it and the subnet, Ovirt will make give it an IP, but it's an isolated network with no connectivity to the other vm's or the Internet. I have read several topics on this but I can't get it to work properly. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Re: Hyperconverged setup questions

Hi Marko, I guess you can use distributed-replicated volumes and oVirt cluster with host triplets.

1-Host home setup question
by Christian Reiss 28 Feb '20

28 Feb '20

Hey folks, for a home-vm setup (1 host): If I setup the Hardware with CentOS7, configure Gluster et all by hand and get things up and running this way: Would it be a viable option to install the ovirt engine directly on the host as well? This would save some overhead. Or is running ovirt engine directly inside an ovirt host, even using CentOS (not the node) not recommended and will break things? -- with kind regards, mit freundlichen Gruessen, Christian Reiss
