[Users] Connecting to portals through ip and consoles
by Gianluca Cecchi 18 Feb '13

18 Feb '13

Hello, I'm verifying this behavior with an oVirt 3.2 beta in all-in-one config if the client doesn't know the hostname of engine and uses instead its ip to connect to webadmin portal or user portal, the gui works, but then when it connects to a spice console of a VM it receives the error of unable to connect to connet to graphics server as soon as I put engine entry hostname ip in /etc/hosts of a fedora 17 client it can now connect to spice console. Is this expected behavior? Any workaround (other than hosts one I tested) in case of lab/test environment when no dns feasible? Thanks Gianluca

[Users] USB dongle (sigh...)
by Nicolas Ecarnot 18 Feb '13

18 Feb '13

Hi, A user of mine is trying to ruin oVirt's reputation by asking me how will I handle the USB dongle issue. I found nothing like USB passthrough drivers, and I don't intend to use such a bad solution. Is there anyone here who faced such a request? I saw http://www.dongleservice.com/ and http://www.digi.com/products/usb/anywhereusb, but I was wondering if anything lighter would exist (based on some dd if=/dev/goodOldLinuxTrickWeLove things...) The VM is a XP or 2003, and I already tried dd /dev/myUsbDevice of=dongle.iso, then mount it in the VM with daemon tool. The iso is mounting, but the content does not appear. Anyway, I'm not sure at all this will be enough emulation to convince the doubtful software *this* is its dongle. Regards, -- Nicolas Ecarnot

[Users] Restirct list of AD servers
by Keith Mitchell 18 Feb '13

18 Feb '13

I have a situation where the Active Directory domain I am trying to use as authentication for ovirt lists many servers all around the world. But... my server running ovirt is sitting behind a firewall that doesn't allow me to access all of them... only the local ones. We do have a "locater dns record" which we can query at a well known name and it will always return the local ip address of the AD server... but if you query the SRV records for the domain it will return all of the servers. I was able to add the domain using engine-manage-domains, and I tweaked the /etc/ovirt-engine/krb5.conf to only include the local AD servers where we can access, but that doesn't seem to be sufficient. Not sure if ovirt is querying the dns records on boot to get the list of servers to talk to or not, but it doesn't seem to be using /etc/ovirt-engine/krb.conf for this purpose. So... is there anyway to manually force it to use a certain server and not have it query dns? thanks.

[Users] Failing on new setup

Much has changed, so please pardon my ignorance - got some catching-up to do. I'm doing PoC of a number of systems, so need to give oVirt a fair shake, but I'm tripping up before I can even get going (does not bode well). I've tried following the QuickStart, all-in-one & other guides, & quickly came across issues. Next I'll have to start building from source - a prospect that will by no means present me with less issues. New F18, minimal headless server. Installed via yum as documented, but install failed at the last steps, as there seems to be an issue with the scripts' implementation of firewalld. A very nice chap @ the IRC channel managed to help be out to get over that initial hurdle - had to *completely* disable firewalld & select the 'None' option for the setup. (seems like a really bad idea to start off like that - disabling security - but this is a lab PoC, so OK, will let it slide for now) I've also disabled SELinux & IPtables via systemctl - so that we can eliminate that as an issue. Script(s) still don't complete without issue, but at lease the engine seems to come up & I can log in. After logging in, I try to (re)connect to the local hypervisor via (root@) $FQDN, localhost & 127.0.0.1, but it fails to come up (why root? OK....). It adds the host, but there seems to be connectivity issues. I'm seeing this in the GUI events: Host localhost installation failed.

I have installed Ovirt 3.1 on a Fedora 17 server, and would like to upgrade to Fedora 18... The documentation I have found on the mailing list is unclear on how to do this. Does anyone have any pointers on how this can be done.. as well as upgrading to Ovirt 3.2 after we've upgraded to Fedora 18 Thanks In advance

Hi, how can I access libvirt/virsh on oVirt node? What are the credentials for accessing libvirt/virsh on the command line of a oVirt node? virsh # list Please enter your authentication name: Please enter your password: error: Failed to reconnect to the hypervisor error: no valid connection error: authentication failed: Failed to step SASL negotiation: -1 (SASL(-1): generic failure: All-whitespace username.) It would make debugging things much easier... Thanks - Frank

[Users] fedora-18 host deploy regression
by Alon Bar-Lev 16 Feb '13

16 Feb '13

Hello, Since the release of fedora-18, there are some regressions related to tuned package. It is regression compared to Beta. tuned service does not start because of various reasons[1][2][3]. One option is to drop tuned usage, another is to push fedora into fixing these. A fix for [3] is available, but has not been pushed yet. Regards, Alon [1] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=883421 [2] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=885271 [3] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=909445
