Re: 10GB disk created on glusterfs storage has only 4096B in vm
by jury cat 30 Jul '20

Good that is ok for you now. As Gianluca told you the command to see all the gluster volume settings is : gluster volume get vol_name all The previous command you used : gluster volume info vol_name will list only modified settings from default and not all the settings. The output shows only volume "Options Reconfigured". Regarding if this is an important bug that affects gluster 7.6(or other versions) and should be disabled by default, i dont know for sure. I am just using ovirt as a hyperconvergence tool. Maybe someone from the ovirt developmemt team can answer that.

VM Snapshot inconsistent
by Arsène Gschwind 30 Jul '20

30 Jul '20

Hi, I running oVirt 4.3.9 with FC based storage. I'm running several VM with 3 disks on 3 different SD. Lately we did delete a VM Snapshot and that task failed after a while and since then the Snapshot is inconsistent. disk1 : Snapshot still visible in DB and on Storage using LVM commands disk2: Snapshot still visible in DB but not on storage anymore (It seems the merge did run correctly) disk3: Snapshot still visible in DB but not on storage ansmore (It seems the merge did run correctly) When I try to delete the snapshot again it runs forever and nothing happens. Is there a way to suppress that snapshot? Is it possible to merge disk1 with its snapshot using LVM commands and then cleanup the Engine DB? Thanks for any hint or help. rgds , arsene -- Arsène Gschwind <arsene.gschwind(a)unibas.ch<mailto:arsene.gschwind@unibas.ch>> Universitaet Basel

What i find difficult and perhaps impossible is to change engine FQDN, as one will need to regenerate all certs from scratch (otherwise you will have issues with several services: imageio proxy, OVN, etc) and there is no such procedure documented/or supported. I might be able to soon test this engine IP change in a virtual environment and let you know. > > > Thanks > > *Anton Louw* > *Cloud Engineer: Storage and Virtualization* at *Vox* > ------------------------------ > *T:* 087 805 0000 | *D:* 087 805 1572 > *M:* N/A > *E:* anton.louw(a)voxtelecom.co.za > *A:* Rutherford Estate, 1 Scott Street, Waverley, Johannesburg > www.vox.co.za > > [image: F] <https://www.facebook.com/voxtelecomZA> > [image: T] <https://www.twitter.com/voxtelecom> > [image: I] <https://www.instagram.com/voxtelecomza/> > [image: L] <https://www.linkedin.com/company/voxtelecom> > [image: Y] <https://www.youtube.com/user/VoxTelecom> > > [image: #VoxBrand] > <https://www.vox.co.za/fibre/fibre-to-the-home/?prod=HOME> > *Disclaimer* > > The contents of this email are confidential to the sender and the intended > recipient.

Upgrade procedure for oVirt
by Alex K 30 Jul '20

30 Jul '20

Hi all! I am going though an upgrade from ovirt 4.2 (4.2.8.2-1.el7) to 4.3 for a two node cluster with self hosted engine. I have done previously upgrades from 4.1 to 4.2 successfully with minor issues which where fixed. I wanted to confirm with you, in case I am missing anything that may have changed in the mean time, on the steps for minor and major upgrade: *# Ovirt procedure for minor upgrade: (4.x.y -> 4.x.z)* • enable global maintenance mode • at engine: engine-upgrade-check • at engine: yum update "ovirt-*-setup*" • at engine: engine-setup • at engine: yum update • at each host from GUI: host -> installation -> upgrade • at each host: yum update, reboot, activate *# Ovirt procedure for major upgrade (4.x -> 4.y)* • update DC to latest minor version (engine + nodes) • enable global maintenance • at engine: install major version repo: yum install https://resources.ovirt.org/pub/yum-repo/ovirt-release4x.rpm • at engine: engine-upgrade-check • at engine: yum update "ovirt-*-setup*" • at engine: engine-setup • at engine: remove the old ovirt release from /etc/yum.repos.d • at engine: yum update • after completion of engine upgrade disable global maintenance • verify engine version • update each host/node: update to minor, then install new repo, remove old repo, yum update, reboot, activate • after completion of updates: set DC and cluster compatibility level to latest version 4.x. • shutdown guest VMs and confirm they start up again. (you may need to disable guest disk leases or re-activate guest disks) • check events for any issues and fix accordingly Am I missing anything? I am planning the upgrade hoping to have no issues since the cluster is hosting production VMs. Thanx for any feedback! Alex

Ovirt hypervisor as an DRBD node
by radchenko.anatoliy＠gmail.com 30 Jul '20

30 Jul '20

Hi community, I would like to use 3 nodes for hypervisor (hosted engine or install a separate VM with engine for its subsequent management) to use them as storage nodes - drbd 9 dual primary + quorum node (aka backup), ocfs 2 - so that the VMs used the hardware of both nodes (so to speak, hyperconverged with drbd). Can you tell me if there are any limits on the part of ovirt for this configuration and the best way to mount ocfs2 - iscsi via scst, posixFS or cinder? Thanks in advance Best regards

Re: Management Engine IP change
by thomas＠hoberg.net 30 Jul '20

I honestly don't know, because I have not tried myself, so you might just want to stop reading right here. But from what I understand about the design philosophy of oVirt, it should be ok to change it, while nobody probably ever tested it and everybody would tell you it's a bad idea to do so, unless you're willing to rebuild from scratch. The reason it *should* be ok is that the nodes don't care about the management engine. They care only about the information on the shared cluster storage. How that gets there, who changes it: They couldn't care less. Yet, I believe I have seen events being reported back to the management engine via REST API calls, referring to the management engine via URIs that should have been using FQDN only. So there is some biliateral communication going on, mostly asynchronous as far as I can see and not using IPs. What I can tell you, is that /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 has NM_CONTROLLED=no inside, so nmtui won't go near it. You can change that, delete the line, edit the config... and hopefully it will live. And in case things go seriously wrong, you should be able to fix it with hosted-engine --console But, again, I never tried it myself. But I use DHCP on two out of four farms...

Migrate VMs from oVirt (3.5) to oVirt (4.4)
by Ian Easter 30 Jul '20

30 Jul '20

Hey folks, What is the proper course of action to migrate VMs managed by and older oVirt instance into a new oVirt instance? Assuming this was the best case to upgrade due to the age of the older instance. *Thank you,* *Ian*

oVirt thrashes Docker network during installation
by thomas＠hoberg.net 30 Jul '20

30 Jul '20

I want to run containers and VMs side by side and not necessarily nested. The main reason for that is GPUs, Voltas mostly, used for CUDA machine learning not for VDI, which is what most of the VM orchestrators like oVirt or vSphere seem to focus on. And CUDA drivers are notorious for refusing to work under KVM unless you pay $esla. oVirt is more of a side show in my environment, used to run some smaller functional VMs alongside bigger containers, but also in order to consolidate and re-distribute the local compute node storage as a Gluster storage pool: Kibbutz storage and compute, if you want, very much how I understand the HCI philosophy behind oVirt. The full integration of containers and VMs is still very much on the roadmap I believe, but I was surprised to see that even co-existence seems to be a problem currently. So I set-up a 3-node HCI on CentOS7 (GPU-less and older) hosts and then added additional (beefier GPGPU) CentOS7 hosts, that have been running CUDA workloads on the latest Docker-CE v19 something. The installation works fine, I can migrate VMs to these extra hosts etc., but to my dismay Docker containers on these hosts lose access to the local network, that is the entire subnet the host is in. For some strange reason I can still ping Internet hosts, perhaps even everything behind the host's gateway, but local connections are blocked. It would seem that the ovritmgmt network that the oVirt installation puts in breaks the docker0 bridge that Docker put there first. I'd consider that a bug, but I'd like to gather some feedback first, if anyone else has run into this problem. I've repeated this several times in completely distinct environments with the same results: Simply add a host with a working Docker-CE as an oVirt host to an existing DC/cluster and then try if you can still ping anyone on that net, including the Docker host from a busybox container afterwards (should try that ping just before you actually add it). No, I didn't try this with podman yet, because that's separate challenge with CUDA: Would love to know if that is part of QA for oVirt already.
