Achieving high availability
by Andrea Chierici 02 Feb '21

02 Feb '21

Hi, I am trying to configure high availability on a critical VM. My ovirt version is 4.3.10.4-1.el7. My question is about the best settings to specify, since it's not completely clear to me how they influence the availability. What I want is simply to have a specific machine ALWAYS running, or at least, to be available as much as possible. I have no special requirements on the VM, if it goes down, simply restarting it is fine. Here is my current setting. Is it good or I'd better chage anything? Thanks, Andrea -- Andrea Chierici - INFN-CNAF Viale Berti Pichat 6/2, 40127 BOLOGNA Office Tel: +39 051 2095463 SkypeID ataruz --

oVirt Storage DRS feature
by divan＠santanas.co.za 02 Feb '21

02 Feb '21

Greetings all :) I'm wondering if oVirt supports the feature that VMware does, which is in VMware land is called SDRS [1]. The idea is simple and I'm sure you all aware of it. You have a "cluster" of storage domains, the engine monitors the backend storage domains and auto balances the VMs across the storage domains based on IO latency and disk usage. If not, how are others out there managing this? One could manually balance, but that's clearly not ideal. [1]: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z77xmaxoNec -- Divan Santana https://divansantana.com

Hello.which environment type I choose?
by 欧文 02 Feb '21

02 Feb '21

Dear: Hello. My name is Owen. First, I appreciate you spend time to check my email. Recently I want to use oVirt to build a project. But after reading the official document, I have some questions to ask. The project is intended to set up a physical server that is used to implement virtualization, Variable quantity of thin clients for users. But I don't know which environment types I should use to deploy. The number two question is why the system environment is different between each version of o-virt？Because centos 7 is the major version. But so many versions of o-virt is not centos 7 or centos 8.can you tell me the reason. Thank you.At last, I have a question.I ever joined the IRC, but there is no response to answer my question. Could you tell me where I can take part in the community with developers who develope o-virt.Thanks

multipath and VDSM REVISION value mappings
by Gianluca Cecchi 02 Feb '21

02 Feb '21

Hello, considering that the best practice is to keep the multipath.conf file unmodified, is there a table with the mapping between the version of oVirt/RHV and the value of "VDSM REVISION" in /etc/multipath.conf, so that in case of doubts one can crosscheck (eg inherited environment where different admins were managing...)? Does this value depend only on the hypervisor installed sw version or also on the Cluster Compatibility version of the cluster the host belongs to, or on the engine version? In several oVirt/RHV environments with 4.3 / 4.4 I see several numbers for the VDSM REVISION from 2.0, to 1.9 and 1.5... Also what could be the impact of having a wrong (higher or lower) revision inside the file? Thanks, Gianluca

oVirt + Proxmox Backup Server
by Diggy Mc 02 Feb '21

Is anyone using Proxmox Backup Server to backup VMs in an oVirt environment? Is it even possible? I'm looking for a free open-source solution for my backup needs (backup VMs as well as traditional file backups). Any guidance is appreciated.

move ovirt 4.3.9 to RHEL 8
by Paul Dyer 01 Feb '21

01 Feb '21

Hi, I am laying the groupwork for upgrade ovirt to 4.4. Since the standalone ovirt mgr is now running on RHEL 7, I have installed RHEL 8 to a new VM. Unfortunately, after installing ovirt-release43, I am not able to find documentation for the dnf modules required. All the current documentation point to ovirt-release44 and dnf modules not available for ovirt 4.3/RHEL 8. I have these repos enabled... Repo ID: ansible-2-for-rhel-8-x86_64-rpms Repo ID: rhel-8-for-x86_64-appstream-rpms Repo ID: rhel-8-for-x86_64-baseos-rpms I am looking setup docs for a standalone engine of ovirt 4.3 on RHEL 8.
