[Users] Host deployment on 3.2
by Jeff Bailey 16 Feb '13

16 Feb '13

I've hit a couple of small problems deploying an F18 minimal host with 3.2. The first problem was missing tar. Second, I had manually set up a vlan on the host for initial communication and the regular expression in bridge.py of the otopi plugin couldn't determine the vlan id. After tweeking it a bit to make it similar to _RE_VLAN_DEVICE it was fine. --- Jeff

[Users] F18 iSCSI/FC and latest systemd/udev
by Jeff Bailey 16 Feb '13

16 Feb '13

While not an actual problem with oVirt, the latest systemd/udev packages for F18 (197-1) break permissions on LVM volumes and stop vdsm/qemu/etc from accessing them. I just downgraded them and everything seems OK but I thought I'd let people know (easier to just avoid rather than repair :) ). There's a bugzilla for it from a week or two ago but since 3.2 came out I figured a lot more people might be installing it on new F18 installations with all the updates and running into problems.

[Users] Move single vmdk (or else) disk into oVirt/RHEV
by Nicolas Ecarnot 16 Feb '13

16 Feb '13

Hi, I find it hard to find any information about the way I have to follow to convert/import a vmdk/qcow/raw/etc... single disk into an oVirt disks list. I know how to use virt-v2v to import complete VMs (disk AND config), but don't know how to handle a single data disk. Regards, -- Nicolas Ecarnot

[Users] [Best practice] NFS export domain served by oVirt manager?

Hi, Here is a simple question about what is the best practice about the location of a NFS export domain. At present, I'm using a server as the oVirt manager, and this server is also a NFS server for the ISO storage domain. I'm using another server to serve an NFS export domain, but I'm thinking of changing that. Is there any advice against the decision to host the export domain NFS on the same server as the manager? For the time being, I will mainly use this export storage domain to rarely import some p2v imports, but I don't need performance. Your opinion? -- Nicolas Ecarnot

[Users] oVirt and firewalld

Hi, I've just set up a new oVirt installation with two nodes. Both of the nodes have had 'firewalld' disabled. When I went to test VM migration, it failed, apparently due to this (from the vdsm log on the source node): error : virNetClientProgramDispatchError:174 : Error while building firewall: Some rules could not be created for interface vnet0: Failure to execute command '$EBT -t nat -N libvirt-J-vnet0' : 'DBusException org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.fedoraproject.FirewallD1 was not provided by any .service filesCouldn't connect to FirewallD, it's probably not running.'. Is running firewalld a requirement for oVirt? Is it possible to avoid having oVirt attempt to manage my firewall rules? Thanks! -- Jonathan Daugherty Software Engineer Galois, Inc.

[Users] Add NIC directly to VM (Dedicated)
by Matt . 15 Feb '13

Hi, For setting up a firewall in a VM I would like to add 2 of my 4 nics directly to a VM. In my previous setup I thought I have done that, but at the moment I cannot figure this out and cannot find the docs to accomplish this. I would like to dedicate those 2 nics to my firewall VM's to avoid sharing them using a network per accident to other VM's. How is this be done at the moment ? Cheers, Matt

[Users] Engine location best practice?
by Lance A. Brown 15 Feb '13

15 Feb '13

I'm setting up an oVirt environment at $WORK and trying to decide where to locate the ovirt-engine. Is it better practice to put it on a separate computer from the nodes? If I co-locate it on a node machine, then I have to worry about it being unavailable if that node is down. How much of an issue is that likely to be? Thanks, --[Lance]
