[ovirt-users] FC QLogic question

Thu Sep 11 10:51:26 UTC 2014

I'm guessing my problems are to do with using the ovirt node hypervisor install from the ovirt web site to boot and configure from.  I'm going to download CentOS 6.5 and setup that up and then put ovirt on top of it.  I have used CentOS on these systems before and they were fine using the FC SAN.  I get the feeling that NFS and iSCSI support is probably fine, but I the FC support may not be so good, well that's my guess anyway.

Thanks again

Thanks for responding Daniel.  I was wondering and thought the message may be irrelevant.  But yes, it doesn't appear to be working.  When I try to add a FC storage domain, no hosts are showing in the drop down box of hosts.  I have loaded the latests ovirtnode (3.4.something...) on two hosts now and neither are working.  Also having a lot of issues with configuring the network.  I configure an interface I can ping it, but it shows as unconfigured... on one host I have added it to the manager and I see the interfaces anyway, but on the second host I configure the eth0, I can ping it, it added to the ovirt engine but it shows no NICs.  Should I be using an earlier version maybe?

thanks again and best regards.

Hello Bill,

what are your problems acually? Is fibre channel not working (as expected)?

The log snippet you provided is completly normal and the messages can
safely be ignored. This is also unrelated to oVirt but rather CentOS (or
the distro you are running) I suppose.

Cheers!

Hi,

I seem to have run into a problem setting up ovirt with Fibre Channel storage.

I have a 2MBs SAN and qlogic cards in the nodes.  I used this same setup with
RHEV about 6 months ago and it just worked, storage was there no problems.  Now
booting with ovirtnode distro, I am seeing

Sep  9 08:01:27 localhost kernel: qla2xxx [0000:0c:00.0]-0091:1: Firmware images

Sep  9 08:01:27 localhost kernel: ata_piix 0000:00:1f.1: PCI INT A -> GSI 16
(level, low) -> IRQ 16

I have googled the firmware error and it says some cards need a firmware flash
and some don't.  These are pretty standard HBAs so I would think they would be
supported out of the box, but maybe not.  Looking at trying to add the firmware
looked kind of complex - if I need to do this, does anyone know of a nice and
easy howto guide on this.  I'm just getting started with ovirt and appreciate
any help

Thanks
