[Users] Get involved in oVirt integration! April edition
Hi, have you got some free time and do you want to get involved in oVirt integration? After the success of first edition we're now proposing this again. Here are a couple of bugs you can hopefully fix in less that one day or you can just try to reproduce providing info: Bug 1080823 - [RFE] make override of iptables configurable when using hosted-engine Bug 1073965 - iptables rules are not applied at the end of all-in-one installation Bug 1065350 - hosted-engine should prompt a question at the user when the host was already a host in the engine Is this the first time you try to contribute to oVirt project?

[Users] Configuring oVirt 3.3.4-1.el
Hello all, I 'm having problems when I want to import a new virtual machine or create a new one from a template. Every virtual machine I have running is unresponsive when I try to create a new virtual machine with the import or from template. I'm running a oVirt engine on a Centos 6.5 minimal installation which also function as a NFS server. It has 6 NIC's available, 32 GB of RAM and 2 Quad cores. My node has 2 NIC's, 64 GB of RAM and 2 Six cores. How should I configure my network for optimal performance or how can I check why my virtual machines are non responsive. I don't see much CPU activity or disk access at that moment. Kind regards. ___ Users mailing list Users@ovirt.org http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users

I'm in the process of moving from virt-manager to ovirt. virsh has an edit domain function, or I can edit the xml by hand. I'm able to locate the xml on the host, but obviously if I edit it by hand it will be replaced by vdsm. I'm having a hell of a time trying to find the xml on the engine, so that I can try modifying the xml to add a serial console. Based on that code that's all that's really going on with that patch. So I'd think I can wing it by modifying the db or xml directly. Just not sure where to go to do so. I'm guessing I could go into vm_device and replace device='virtio-serial' with 'serial' but that seems to easy. Any pointers you've got on how the xml is stored or produced would be great. It's a bit more complicated than thatthere's no XML stored in the backend. You'd be better off applying the patch over and compile yourself:) The supported way of how to amend the libvirt XML is via VDSM hooks. You need to intercept the created XML and add whatever is needed, see http://www.ovirt.org/VDSM-Hooks, some of the examples can be used as a base for what you're trying to do... Yup, before_vm_start before_vm_migrate should allow you to do what you want.

Hi,
I'm in the process of installing 3.4 RC(2?) on Fedora 19. I'm using hosted
engine, introspective GlusterFS+keepalived+NFS ala [1], across six nodes.
I have a layered networking topology ((V)LANs for public, internal, storage,
compute and ipmi). I am comfortable doing the bridging for each
interface myself via /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-*.
Here's my desired topology: http://www.asciiflow.com/#Draw6325992559863447154
Here's my keepalived setup:
https://gist.github.com/josh-at-knoesis/98618a16418101225726
I'm writing a lot of documentation of the many steps I'm taking. I hope to
eventually release a distributed introspective all-in-one (including
distributed storage) guide.
Looking at vm.conf.in http://vm.conf.in, it looks like I'd by default end
up with one interface on my engine, probably on my internal VLAN, as
that's where I'd like the control traffic to flow. I definitely could do
NAT, but I'd be most happy to see the engine have a presence on all of the
LANs, if for no other reason than because I want to send backups directly
over the storage VLAN.
I'll cut to it: I believe I could successfully alter the vdsm template
(vm.conf.in http://vm.conf.in) to give me the extra interfaces I require.
It hit me, however, that I could just take the defaults for the initial
install. Later, I think I'll be able to come back with virsh and make my
changes to the gracefully disabled VM. Is this true?

Note that you should also be able to edit /etc/ovirt-hosted-engine/vm.conf
after setup:
- put the system in global maintenance
- edit the vm.conf file on all the hosts running the hosted engine
- shutdown the vm: hosted-engine --vm-shutdown
- start again the vm: hosted-engine --vm-start
- exit global maintenance
Giuseppe, Joshua: can you share your changes in a guide for Hosted engine
users on ovirt.org wiki?
So would you simply just add a new line under the original devices line? ie.
devices={nicModel:pv,macAddr:00:16:3e:6d:34:78,linkActive:true,network:ovirtmgmt,filter:vdsm-no-mac-spoofing,specParams:{},deviceId:0c8a1710-casd-407a-94e8-5b09e55fa141,address:{bus:0x00,
slot:0x03, domain:0x, type:pci,
function:0x0},device:bridge,type:interface}
Are there any good practices for getting the mac addr so it won't be
possible to clash with ones vdsm would generate? I assume the same
applies for deviceid?
Did you also change the slot?
I simply added a second nic (with a fixed MAC address from the
locally-administered pool, since I didn't know how to auto-generate one) and
added an
index for nics too (mimicking the the storage devices setup already present).

Re: [Users] oVirt 3.4 Templates break Foreman Provisioning/Adding host
Hi,
It seems that it's an issue with the Default Datacenter that is removed,
the Cluster still exists because of it's default template there is in.

HI,
This was more than 1,5 year ago, I can't remember 100%
I create a new Datacenter as I wanted and putted the otherone offline or
so and removed it. The Default Cluster was not able to remove because of
this Template which was OK.
I discussed this at #ovirt back those days and it was the only option to
get rid of Default Datacenter.
I didn't see logs @ the engine.log to be honest.
Cheers,

Re: [Users] HA
Or with other words, the SPM and the VM should move almost immediate after the storage connections on the hypervisor are gone. I know, I'm asking to much maybe, but we would be very happy :-) :-). So sketch: Mercury1 SPM Mercury 2 Mercury1 loses both fibre connections -- goes in non-operational and the VM goes in paused state and stays this way, until I manually reboot the host so it fences. What I would like is that when mercury 1 loses both fibre connections. He fences immediate so the VM's are moved also almost instantly... If this is possible... :-) Kind regards and thanks for all the help! 2014-04-08 14:26 GMT+02:00 Koen Vanoppen vanoppen.k...@gmail.com: Ok, Thanx already for all the help. I adapted some things for quicker respons: engine-config --get FenceQuietTimeBetweenOperationsInSec--180 engine-config --set FenceQuietTimeBetweenOperationsInSec=60 engine-config --get StorageDomainFalureTimeoutInMinutes--180 engine-config --set StorageDomainFalureTimeoutInMinutes=1 engine-config --get SpmCommandFailOverRetries--5 engine-config --set SpmCommandFailOverRetries engine-config --get SPMFailOverAttempts--3 engine-config --set SPMFailOverAttempts=1 engine-config --get NumberOfFailedRunsOnVds--3 engine-config --set NumberOfFailedRunsOnVds=1 engine-config --get vdsTimeout--180 engine-config --set vdsTimeout=30 engine-config --get VDSAttemptsToResetCount--2 engine-config --set VDSAttemptsToResetCount=1 engine-config --get TimeoutToResetVdsInSeconds--60 engine-config --set TimeoutToResetVdsInSeconds=30 Now the result of this is that when the VM is not running on the SPM that it will migrate before going in pause mode. But when we tried it, when the vm is running on the SPM, it get's in paused mode (for safety reasons, I know ;-) ). And stays there until the host gets MANUALLY fenced by rebooting it.

[Users] 2 virtual monitors for Fedora guest
Hi, I'm trying to virtualize my Fedora 20 workstation on oVirt 3.4 with 2 screens. No matter if I choose Server or Desktop and operating system Linux or RHEL 6.x x64 (surprisingly Fedora is missing in the list) my Fedora guest (or better say LXRandR) only recognizes 1 monitor. ps -ef | grep myvm shows me that there are 2 monitors (or at least I think that I can interpret the output this way): -vga qxl -global qxl-vga.ram_size=134217728 -global qxl-vga.vram_size=33554432 Does anyone know how I can make my Fedora guest work with 2 screens?

Re: [Users] how do you connect to a host's serial console
That's a nice theory you've got there... :) I'd think a little script management would go a long way until you have _every_ possible use case in the system. :) As a developer I find at some point I always get talked into adding that extra bit of flexibility even though no user should ever need it. They always find something I never thought of. btw, do I put feature requests in bugzilla, or is there some other place? Thanks for all of the help.

I'm in the process of moving from virt-manager to ovirt. virsh has an edit domain function, or I can edit the xml by hand. I'm able to locate the xml on the host, but obviously if I edit it by hand it will be replaced by vdsm. I'm having a hell of a time trying to find the xml on the engine, so that I can try modifying the xml to add a serial console. Based on that code that's all that's really going on with that patch. So I'd think I can wing it by modifying the db or xml directly. Just not sure where to go to do so. I'm guessing I could go into vm_device and replace device='virtio-serial' with 'serial' but that seems to easy. Any pointers you've got on how the xml is stored or produced would be great. It's a bit more complicated than thatthere's no XML stored in the backend. You'd be better off applying the patch over and compile yourself:) The supported way of how to amend the libvirt XML is via VDSM hooks. You need to intercept the created XML and add whatever is needed, see http://www.ovirt.org/VDSM-Hooks, some of the examples can be used as a base for what you're trying to do... Yup, before_vm_start before_vm_migrate should allow you to do what you want.

Stay tuned... ___ Users mailing list Users@ovirt.org http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users
Re: [Users] 2 virtual monitors for Fedora guest
Hi, No configuration nor Xinerama should be needed. Just make sure you have spice-vdagent package installed, spice-vdagentd service running and two spice-vdagent processes running (one for *dm, one for your user session). Then enable other monitors in virt-viewer: check View - Displays - Display N. Xinerama is an old hackish means to multimonitor for linux guests with numerou disadvantages so please avoid that. If you really really want to use xinerama, then switch your OS type to Windows and your VM will get multiple qxl devices that xinerama depends on.

[Users] Hosted Engine recovery failure of all HA - nodes
Hello, I have an oVirt 3.4 hosted engine lab setup witch I am evaluating for production use. I simulated an ungraceful shutdown of all HA nodes (powercut) while the engine was running. After powering up, the system did not recover itself (it seemed). I had to restart the ovirt-hosted-ha service (witch was in a locked state) and then manually run 'hosted-engine --vm-start'. What is the supposed procedure after a shutdown (graceful / ungraceful) of Hosted-Engine HA nodes? Should the engine recover by itself? Should the running VM's be restarted automatically?

Re: [Users] 2 virtual monitors for Fedora guest
Some prelimianry tests at my side. oVirt 3.4 on fedora 19 AIO. Datacenter and cluster configured as 3.4 level Some packages on it libvirt-1.1.3.2-1.fc19.x86_64 qemu-kvm-1.6.1-2.fc19.x86_64 vdsm-4.14.6-0.fc19.x86_64 spice-server-0.12.4-3.fc19.x86_64 guest is an updated Fedora 19 system configured based on blank template and OS=Linux and xorg-x11-drv-qxl-0.1.1-3.fc19.x86_64 spice-vdagent-0.14.0-5.fc19.x86_64 Client is an updated Fedora 20 box with virt-viewer-0.6.0-1.fc20.x86_64 If I select the Single PCI checkbox in console options of guest and connect from the Fedora 20 client I don't see at all an option in remote-viewer to open a second display and no new display detected in guest. And lspci on guest indeed gives only one video controller. BTW: what is this option for, apart the meaning?

Re: [Users] ovirt-guest-agent on debian?
How did you get it to actually work? I got the deb from (http://ppa.launchpad.net/zhshzhou/vdsm-ubuntu/ubuntu/pool/main/o/ovirt-guest-agent/ovirt-guest-agent_1.0.9.20140216.git5168c4-1ppa1_all.deb) , since I'm not willing to add ubuntu sources to my apt-configuration since that might make me run into dependency troubles later on. This one works fine with Debian: https://launchpad.net/~zhshzhou/+archive/vdsm-ubuntu/+files/ovirt-guest-agent_1.0.8.201309301944.gitb7f8f2-1ppa1_all.deb The version you try to use is for Ubuntu 13.10.

I'm in the process of moving from virt-manager to ovirt. virsh has an edit domain function, or I can edit the xml by hand. I'm able to locate the xml on the host, but obviously if I edit it by hand it will be replaced by vdsm. I'm having a hell of a time trying to find the xml on the engine, so that I can try modifying the xml to add a serial console. Based on that code that's all that's really going on with that patch. So I'd think I can wing it by modifying the db or xml directly. Just not sure where to go to do so. I'm guessing I could go into vm_device and replace device='virtio-serial' with 'serial' but that seems to easy. Any pointers you've got on how the xml is stored or produced would be great. It's a bit more complicated than thatthere's no XML stored in the backend. You'd be better off applying the patch over and compile yourself:) The supported way of how to amend the libvirt XML is via VDSM hooks. You need to intercept the created XML and add whatever is needed, see http://www.ovirt.org/VDSM-Hooks, some of the examples can be used as a base for what you're trying to do... Yup, before_vm_start before_vm_migrate should allow you to do what you want.

Re: [Users] Hosted Engine recovery failure of all HA - nodes
On Wed, Apr 9, 2014 at 2:09 AM, Daniel Helgenberger daniel.helgenber...@m-box.de wrote: Hello, I have an oVirt 3.4 hosted engine lab setup witch I am evaluating for production use. I simulated an ungraceful shutdown of all HA nodes (powercut) while the engine was running. After powering up, the system did not recover itself (it seemed). I had to restart the ovirt-hosted-ha service (witch was in a locked state) and then manually run 'hosted-engine --vm-start'. I noticed this happens too, I think the issue is after N attempts the ovirt-ha-agent process will kill itself if it believes it can't access the storage or it fails in some other way. The ovirt-ha-broker service however still remains and continues to calculate the score. It'll be nice I guess if it could pro-actively restart the ha-agent every now and then. What is the supposed procedure after a shutdown (graceful / ungraceful) of Hosted-Engine HA nodes? Should the engine recover by itself? Should the running VM's be restarted automatically? I don't think any other VMs get restarted automatically, this is because the engine is used to ensure that the VM hasn't been restarted on another host. This is where power management etc comes into play. If all the nodes come up at the same time, in my testing, it took 10 minutes for the ha-agents to settle and then finally decide which host to bring up the engine. Then technically... (untested) any VMs which you've marked as HA should be automatically brought back up by the engine. This would be 15-20 minutes to recover which feels a little slow.. although fairly automatic.

Fabian, were you think thinking that if not all 'hosts' supported live migration that the cluster could disable that feature? Based on capabilities that the hosts would expose to the ovirt server? This would be another way of avoiding the confusion. Thanks guys for the great work you are doing with ovirt. Paul, this is something that vdsm needs to report to the engine, so the engine will know what is / isn't supported. It's a bigger request as today we're mostly based on cluster compatibility level. Additionally it is possible to mix .el hosts with nodes with old (non -rhev) nodes. Each of these cases will break live-storage migration. How do you suggest to mitigate it? Well, when you choose to migrate a VM under Vmware's Vcenter you can choose to migrate either the host or the datastore. For whichever one you choose there is a validation step to check the you are able to perform the migration (ie: capabilities of the host). I can see in ovirt that we are showing the KVM version on hosts. This matches the package version of the qemu-kvm package (or the qemu-kvm-rhev package if installed?). Could we have some sort of a cutoff point where we know which versions of KVM (ie: qemu-kvm or qemu-kvm-rhev) support the storage migration feature, and if a version is found that doesn't match the required heuristics we just indicate the the validation process for the migration has failed? We could provide some small output indicating why it has failed. Does this sound like a reasonable approach? Is there any news on discussions with the CentOS people as to where a qemu-kvm-rhev package could be hosted (that we could then take advantage of)? If the hosting of an updated qemu-kvm (or qemu-kvm-rhev) is not sorted out in the short term, I did some quick calculations last night and it seems based on previous EL point releases (this is hardly scientific I know) we are not likely to see an EL 6.6 for another few months.
