[Users] Created ovirt 3.3 node (3.1 hypervisor) ISO but not 100% right?

This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ------=_NextPart_000_0001_01CEB317.E27BD8B0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit I created ovirt node ISO but it is not 100% right. Boots, media check is fine, the UI executes, can select disk device as expected, enter password, etc. When the install sequence starts. it just stops at 0% "Starting." then nothing happens. Tried it with IDE, SATA, even SCSI, all local attached, even tried it in a VM (nesting enabled, etc.), and same issue appears to freeze. Jumping to alternate consoles, all blank. Tried to run install in text mode, removed quiet and rhgb options from boot command-line, but the UI takes over so no help. When I generated the ISO image, did not notice any errors, source platform for ISO image was Fedora 19 minimal install plus all the adds as outlined on the ovirt node build documentation web page. Anyone run into the same odd issue? Am able to install Fedora 19 on same hardware, so can't see why node install would fail, since am able to select disk drive, but can't write to it?

[Users] convert thin provisioned disks to preallocated
by Alan Johnson 18 Sep '13

18 Sep '13

I am pretty sure I know the answer, but is there any way to do this gracefully, i.e. within the confines of the oVirt API? This is on an iSCSI storage domain. My understanding and further research suggest no, but I wanted to ask before we endeavor on a major overhaul of a production system that some one setup without knowing the better of to the 2 for such use. I am very familiar with the underlying systems (LVM, KVM, etc.) and would appreciate any suggested hacks. So far, here is what I have come up with: Sure to work: Setup a new VM with preallocated drives. Boot both VMs off of a live virtual CD. Use cat/pv and nc (netcat) to read directly from the block devices on one and write directly to the block devices on the other. Reboot the new VM from the internal disks. Tweak MAC addresses along the way so the new VM gets those of the old. The down side is the down time, but we can probably swallow it if we have to. Any other risks? Might work: Create a new VM. Identify the logical volumes (LVs) are assigned for that block devices used by the new and the old. Log into the SPM and read directly from the old LVs to the new. This is similar to that above, but I expect I need to run the data through some kind of qcow2-to-raw conversion process to make this work. Similar down sides to the above, but maybe less so? Thoughts? Another thought I had was to just write zeros to the empty space on the block devices, from inside the guest OS, until the full allocation is achieved. The down side is potential impact on performance of the system while it is filling up and for the (hopefully) very short time the file system is full before an rm of the zeros file kicks in. Also we would still have qcow2 underneath, so would it still add overhead, or does that only apply when it grows? Any other down sides to this? Thanks in advance for your thoughts and consideration. ________________ Alan Johnson alan(a)datdec.com Date Format PSA <http://xkcd.com/1179/>

[Users] oVirt Hosted Engine Pre-reqs (sanlock >= 2.8)
by Andrew Lau 18 Sep '13

18 Sep '13

Hi, I noticed the hosted engine package was released as a beta package, too keen for my own good I tried to get it installed on a dev box. One of the pre-requirements is sanlock 2.8 and sanlock-python 2.8 but EL6 does not have these, Fedora 19 does have sanlock 2.8. I'm not sure if this needs to be reported. P.S. Great work on getting this amazing feature ready before release. Andrew .
