[ovirt-users] Some VMs in status "not responding" in oVirt interface

Thu Sep 10 10:36:49 UTC 2015

OK, I narrowed it down. It happens to all VMs running Windows Server 2012 R2.

Does anybody else have problems with the stability of Windows Server 2012 R2 in oVirt? The VM is just crashing, oVirt isn’t able to contact the VM (status “Not Responding”) and I have to kill the qemu-kvm process of this specific VM to be able to start it again.

I already changed the NIC from e1000 to VirtIO, but the VMs keep crashing.

Best regards, Christian

Hello,

unfortunately I still have this problem… 

Last week I checked all the hardware components. It’s a HP DL580 Gen8 Server, 128GB RAM, 4TB storage.

The firmware of all components is up to date.

I ran a full check of all harddrives, CPUs etc., no problems detected.

This night 3 VMs stopped responding again, so I had to reboot the server this morning to regain access. Some minutes ago 2 VMs stopped responding…

The logs just show that the VMs aren’t responding anymore, nothing else… does anybody have an idea how I can debug this issue any further?

Betreff: [ovirt-users] Some VMs in status "not responding" in oVirt interface

Hello,

last Wednesday I wanted to update my oVirt 3.5 hypervisor. It is a single Centos 7 server, so I started by suspending the VMs in order to set the oVirt engine host to maintenance mode. During the process of suspending the VMs the server crashed, kernel panic…

After restarting the server I installed the updates via yum an restarted the server again. Afterwards, all the VMs could be started again. Some hours later my monitoring system registered some unresponsive hosts, I had a look in the oVirt interface, 3 of the VMs were in the state “not responding”, marked by a question mark. 

I tried to shut down the VMs, but oVirt wasn’t able to do so. I tried to reset the status in the database with the sql statement

update vm_dynamic set status = 0 where vm_guid = (select vm_guid from vm_static where vm_name = 'MYVMNAME');

but that didn’t help, either. Only rebooting the whole hypervisor helped… afterwards everything worked again. But only for a few hours, then one of the VMs entered the “not responding” state again… again only a reboot helped. Yesterday it happened again:

2015-08-28 17:44:22,664 INFO  [org.ovirt.engine.core.vdsbroker.VdsUpdateRunTimeInfo] (DefaultQuartzScheduler_Worker-60) [4ef90b12] VM DC 0f3d1f06-e516-48ce-aa6f-7273c33d3491 moved from Up --> NotResponding

2015-08-28 17:44:22,692 WARN  [org.ovirt.engine.core.dal.dbbroker.auditloghandling.AuditLogDirector] (DefaultQuartzScheduler_Worker-60) [4ef90b12] Correlation ID: null, Call Stack: null, Custom Event ID: -1, Message: VM DC is not responding.

Does anybody know what I can do? Where should I have a look? Hints are greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

Christian
