Re: Question about Template and Storage Domain

Hi, You are probably creating the VM as a dependent on the template (thin VM), it means that the VM's disk should be created on the same storage domain as the template disk. In order to create the VM with a disk on a different storage domain, you can either create the VM as an independent (clone) or copy the template disk to the storage domain you want to create the VM disk on.

Q: Strange Artifact with Networking After Cloning VM
by Andrei Verovski 04 Jul '21

04 Jul '21

Hi, I have Debian 10 VM under oVirt (HP ProLiant), with NextCloud/Collabora docker. VM is connected to external IP via 3rd Ethernet interface on ProLiant server to the switch/external IP link from ISP. VM doesn't have oVirt mgmt interface. Everything worked fine until my last upgrade which broke NextCloud, so I decided to restore recent backup copy, made with "Clone VM" from oVirt GUI. Now problem arises - network interface is not functional anymore at all, no traffic pass by. I deleted it, and created new one via Edit VM, updated /etc/network/interfaces on Debian, problem remains. ip a within VM shows no problems with networking, but even ping gateway IP and 8.8.8.8 doesn't work. I screenshot settings attached. Launching broken VM (which is a source clone of backup) shows no problems. Thanks in advance for any help. Andrei

Libgfapi considerations
by Jayme 01 Jul '21

01 Jul '21

Are there currently any known issues with using libgfapi in the latest stable version of ovirt in hci deployments? I have recently enabled it and have noticed a significant (over 4x) increase in io performance on my vms. I’m concerned however since it does not seem to be an ovirt default setting. Is libgfapi considered safe and stable to use in ovirt 4.3 hci?

Hi! I have tested also with last version of Ovirt 4.4, and I see that writing speed in 4 times more then with fuse. I think this is important reason to support snapshots with Libgfapi. Regards, Alex
