Sanlock issues after upgrading to 3.4
by Jairo Rizzo 11 Jun '14

11 Jun '14

Hello, I have a small 2-node cluster setup running Glusterfs in replication mode : CentOS v6.5 kernel-2.6.32-431.17.1.el6.x86_64 vdsm-4.14.6-0.el6.x86_64 ovirt-engine-3.4.0-1.el6.noarch (on 1 node) Basically I was running ovirt-engine v 3.3 for months fine and then upgraded to latest version of 3.3.X two days ago and could not join the nodes to the cluster due to a version mismatch,basically this: https://www.mail-archive.com/users@ovirt.org/msg17241.html . After trying to correct this problem I ended up upgrading to 3.4 which created a new and challenng problem for me. Every couple of hours I get error messages like this: Jun 7 13:40:01 hv1 sanlock[2341]: 2014-06-07 13:40:01-0400 19647 [2341]: s3 check_our_lease warning 70 last_success 19577 Jun 7 13:40:02 hv1 sanlock[2341]: 2014-06-07 13:40:02-0400 19648 [2341]: s3 check_our_lease warning 71 last_success 19577 Jun 7 13:40:03 hv1 sanlock[2341]: 2014-06-07 13:40:03-0400 19649 [2341]: s3 check_our_lease warning 72 last_success 19577 Jun 7 13:40:04 hv1 sanlock[2341]: 2014-06-07 13:40:04-0400 19650 [2341]: s3 check_our_lease warning 73 last_success 19577 Jun 7 13:40:05 hv1 sanlock[2341]: 2014-06-07 13:40:05-0400 19651 [2341]: s3 check_our_lease warning 74 last_success 19577 Jun 7 13:40:06 hv1 sanlock[2341]: 2014-06-07 13:40:06-0400 19652 [2341]: s3 check_our_lease warning 75 last_success 19577 Jun 7 13:40:07 hv1 sanlock[2341]: 2014-06-07 13:40:07-0400 19653 [2341]: s3 check_our_lease warning 76 last_success 19577 Jun 7 13:40:08 hv1 sanlock[2341]: 2014-06-07 13:40:08-0400 19654 [2341]: s3 check_our_lease warning 77 last_success 19577 Jun 7 13:40:09 hv1 wdmd[2330]: test warning now 19654 ping 19644 close 0 renewal 19577 expire 19657 client 2341 sanlock_1e8615b0-7876-4a03-bdb0-352087fad0f3:1 Jun 7 13:40:09 hv1 wdmd[2330]: /dev/watchdog closed unclean Jun 7 13:40:09 hv1 kernel: SoftDog: Unexpected close, not stopping watchdog!

oVirt 3.4.2 Hosted
by Bob Doolittle 11 Jun '14

11 Jun '14

Hi, I'm taking a preview look at the 3.4.2 Release Notes. I see there is no mention of Hosted. Can we assume that means that the process for upgrading Hosted is the same as for traditional deployments? We know that installation is quite different... -Bob

Hacking in Ceph rather then Gluster.
by Nathan Stratton 10 Jun '14

10 Jun '14

So I understand that the news is still fresh and there may not be much going on yet in making Ceph work with ovirt, but I thought I would reach out and see if it was possible to hack them together and still use librdb rather then NFS. I know, why not just use Gluster... the problem is I have tried to use Gluster for VM storage for years and I still don't think it is ready. Ceph still has work in other areas, but this is one area where I think it shines. This is a new lab cluster and I would like to try to use ceph over gluster if possible. Unless I am missing something, can anyone tell me they are happy with Gluster as a backend image store? This will be a small 16 node 10 gig cluster of shared compute / storage (yes I know people want to keep them separate). ><> nathan stratton | vp technology | broadsoft, inc | +1-240-404-6580 | www.broadsoft.com

[ANN] oVirt 3.4.2 Release is now available
by Sandro Bonazzola 10 Jun '14

10 Jun '14

The oVirt development team is pleased to announce the general availability of oVirt 3.4.2 as of Jun 10th 2014. This release solidifies oVirt as a leading KVM management application and open source alternative to VMware vSphere. oVirt is available now for Fedora 19 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.5 (or similar). This release of oVirt includes numerous bug fixes. See the release notes [1] for a list of the new features and bugs fixed. The existing repository ovirt-3.4 has been updated for delivering this release without the need of enabling any other repository, however since we introduced package signing you need an additional step in order to get the public keys installed on your system if you're upgrading from an older release. Please refer to release notes [1] for Installation / Upgrade instructions. Please note that mirrors will need a couple of days before being synchronized. If you want to be sure to use latest rpms and don't want to wait for the mirrors, you can edit /etc/yum.repos.d/ovirt-3.4.repo commenting the mirror line and removing the comment on baseurl line. A new oVirt Node and oVirt Live ISO will be available soon[2].

Ovirt Guest Agent Windows 7
by Jeff Clay 09 Jun '14

09 Jun '14

I have the spice guest agent/tools installed, but I'm reading that I also need to install/setup the ovirt-guest-agent to get proper reporting of resources, etc. I'm following the instructions in https://github.com/oVirt/ovirt-guest-agent/blob/master/ovirt-guest-agent/RE… I am confused at "Update the AGENT_CONFIG global variable in OVirtGuestService.py to point to right configuration location." I can find the file without issue, the value I'm requested to change has a default value of: AGENT_CONFIG = 'ovirt-guest-agent.ini' I cannot locate a file named ovirt-guest-agent.ini within the C:\ovirt-guest-agent-master\ovirt-guest-agent folder so I'm not sure what to set this value to.
