[Users] Configure NFS resource from Host
by jj197005 10 Jan '13

10 Jan '13

Hello everybody, I'm trying to configure and install oVirt for test in our University faculty. I have installed an engine an a host, both of them with Fedora 17. The engine is working and I can log-in in the Data Center with admin user. I have tried to add my host to the data center portal and I successfully done. After that I have tried to add a NFS resource which is in the host that I have added. If I open a console in the engine and log-in as vdsm user, I can mount the NFS resource without problems. The problem is when I tried to add this NFS resource to the Data Center. I have followed the tutorial http://www.ovirt.org/Quick_Start_Guide#Configure_Storage, but when I have completed the form and pressed "Ok", after one or two minutes I receive one screen with bellow error: "Error: A Request to the Server failed with the following Status Code: 500" I'm attaching the vdsm.log file with the lines that are created with this operation. I hope that someone can show me what is the problem. If you need more information aboout the installation I can show it. Many thanks in avanced, Juanjo.

[Users] Update on dates for oVirt 3.2 Release
by Mike Burns 10 Jan '13

10 Jan '13

At today's oVirt meeting, we reviewed the dates for the oVirt 3.2 Release. The updated dates are: Devel Freeze and Branching: 2013-01-14 Beta Posted: 2013-01-15 Test Day: 2013-01-24 Target GA: 2013-01-30 The are several reasons for the slip. It is partially due to the slip in the Fedora 18 Release schedule. The move to Fedora 18 has also caused some issues for some of the sub-projects, most notably ovirt-node. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns Thanks Mike Burns on behalf of The oVirt Team

by Andreas Huser 09 Jan '13

09 Jan '13

hi everybody i have trouble with pci passthrough of a parallel port adapter. I need this for a key dongle. The Server is a single machine and i want to use them with the all-in-one plugin from ovirt. I do some tests with: Fedora 17, CentOS6.3, Oracle Linux 6.3 latest kernel, qemu-kvm and libvirt from repos. No extras or advanced configurations. Only a simple standard Server. I install "yum groupinstall virtualization" + virt-manager and some other. I configure iommu, modul blacklist and some other. Then i starting a Windows Server 2003 and assign the parallel adapter to the running server. I look in the device manager and found the adapter card. The dongle work finde and the Datev Lizenz Service are online. .. so far so good but when i install on the same Server ovirt. With same kernel qemu-kvm and libvirt! And i attach the adapter card to the windows server 2003 look in the device manager and found the card with a error "device cannot be start (code 10)" I am now looking for several days after the error and have diverse tried but I can not keep going. can someone help me? Thanks & greetings Andreas

[Users] ovirt tools - compatibility with RHEV
by Jiri Belka 09 Jan '13

09 Jan '13

Hi, I just discovered some package names difference between ovirt tools and RHEV tools (iso-uploader etc...). Also params to handle certificates are different. Are ovirt tools compatible with RHEV? Or I should use RHEV specific packages to manage RHEV environments? If ovirt tools are tested to always work with RHEV that would be nice. jbelka

[Users] Best practice to resize a WM disk image
by Ricky 09 Jan '13

09 Jan '13

Hi, If I have a VM that has run out of disk space, how can I increase the space in best way? One way is to add a second bigger disk to the WM and then use dd or similar to copy. But is it possible to stretch the original disk inside or outside oVirt and get oVirt to know the bigger size? Regards //Ricky

[Users] Successfully virt-v2v from CentOS 6.3 VM to Ovirt 3.2 nightly
by Gianluca Cecchi 09 Jan '13

09 Jan '13

Hello, on my oVirt Host configured with F18 and all-in-one and ovirt-nightly as of ovirt-engine-3.2.0-1.20130107.git1a60fea.fc18.noarch I was able to import a CentOS 5.8 VM coming from a CentOS 6.3 host. The oVirt node server is the same where I'm unable to run a newly created WIndows 7 32bit vm... See http://lists.ovirt.org/pipermail/users/2013-January/011390.html In this thread I would like to report about successful import phases and some doubts about: 1) no password requested during virt-v2v 2) no connectivity in guest imported. On CentOS 6.3 host # virt-v2v -o rhev -osd 10.4.4.59:/EXPORT --network ovirtmgmt c56cr c56cr_001: 100% [===================================================================================]D 0h02m17s virt-v2v: c56cr configured with virtio drivers. ---> I would expect to be asked for the password of a privileged user in oVirt infra, instead the export process started without any prompt. Is this correct? In my opinion in this case it could be a security concern.... during virt-v2v command, on oVirt node I see this inside NFS Export domain: $ sudo ls -l /EXPORT/b878ad09-602f-47da-87f5-2829d67d3321/v2v.pmbPOGM_/30df5806-6911-41b3-8fef-1fd8d755659f total 10485764 -rw-r--r--. 1 vdsm kvm 10737418240 Jan 9 16:05 0d0e8e12-8b35-4034-89fc-8cbd4a7d7d81 At the end of the process: $ sudo ls -l /EXPORT/b878ad09-602f-47da-87f5-2829d67d3321/images/ total 4 drwxr-xr-x. 2 vdsm kvm 4096 Jan 9 16:05 30df5806-6911-41b3-8fef-1fd8d755659f $ sudo ls -lR /EXPORT/ /EXPORT/: total 4 drwxr-xr-x. 5 vdsm kvm 4096 Jan 9 16:06 b878ad09-602f-47da-87f5-2829d67d3321 /EXPORT/b878ad09-602f-47da-87f5-2829d67d3321: total 12 drwxr-xr-x. 2 vdsm kvm 4096 Jan 9 16:01 dom_md drwxr-xr-x. 3 vdsm kvm 4096 Jan 9 16:06 images drwxr-xr-x. 4 vdsm kvm 4096 Jan 9 16:02 master /EXPORT/b878ad09-602f-47da-87f5-2829d67d3321/dom_md: total 8 -rw-rw----. 1 vdsm kvm 0 Jan 9 16:01 ids -rw-rw----. 1 vdsm kvm 0 Jan 9 16:01 inbox -rw-rw----. 1 vdsm kvm 512 Jan 9 16:01 leases -rw-r--r--. 1 vdsm kvm 350 Jan 9 16:01 metadata -rw-rw----. 1 vdsm kvm 0 Jan 9 16:01 outbox /EXPORT/b878ad09-602f-47da-87f5-2829d67d3321/images: total 4 drwxr-xr-x. 2 vdsm kvm 4096 Jan 9 16:05 30df5806-6911-41b3-8fef-1fd8d755659f /EXPORT/b878ad09-602f-47da-87f5-2829d67d3321/images/30df5806-6911-41b3-8fef-1fd8d755659f: total 10485768 -rw-r--r--. 1 vdsm kvm 10737418240 Jan 9 16:06 0d0e8e12-8b35-4034-89fc-8cbd4a7d7d81 -rw-r--r--. 1 vdsm kvm 330 Jan 9 16:05 0d0e8e12-8b35-4034-89fc-8cbd4a7d7d81.meta /EXPORT/b878ad09-602f-47da-87f5-2829d67d3321/master: total 8 drwxr-xr-x. 2 vdsm kvm 4096 Jan 9 16:02 tasks drwxr-xr-x. 3 vdsm kvm 4096 Jan 9 16:06 vms /EXPORT/b878ad09-602f-47da-87f5-2829d67d3321/master/tasks: total 0 /EXPORT/b878ad09-602f-47da-87f5-2829d67d3321/master/vms: total 4 drwxr-xr-x. 2 vdsm kvm 4096 Jan 9 16:06 2398149c-32b9-4bae-b572-134d973a759c /EXPORT/b878ad09-602f-47da-87f5-2829d67d3321/master/vms/2398149c-32b9-4bae-b572-134d973a759c: total 8 -rw-r--r--. 1 vdsm kvm 4649 Jan 9 16:06 2398149c-32b9-4bae-b572-134d973a759c.ovf Then I began the vm import in webadmin: Import process has begun for VM(s): c56cr. You can check import status in the 'Events' tab of the specific destination storage domain, or in the main 'Events' tab ---> regarding the import status, the "specific destination storage domain" would be my DATA domain, correct?

Hi, +1 for clustered ovirt manager for availability. I've seen a pdf document describing how to configure Red Hat Cluster and GFS with RHEV-M, but I feel Red Hat Cluster and GFS adds too much complexity compared to what is required for ovirt manager. Perhaps the use of glusterfs and keepalived (http://www.keepalived.org/) would be sufficient to create an easy to configure ovirt manager failover cluster? Regards, Siggi
