[CentOS-virt] Reading the new 6.0 manual - now questions

2011-06-17 Thread Steve Campbell
I'm new to running VMs, so I'm hoping this hasn't been a problem 
question asked before. I've only glazed over the emails from this list 
since I've joined due to not really needing all of the great information 
if provides.

Eric suggested I wait for Centos 6 to start loading my new VM host, and 
so I grabbed the RH Virtualization PDF and started digging in.

Firstly, it occurred to me that Centos 6 might not provide the 
virtualization rpms like it did with Centos 5. RH makes this an add-on 
to their license. Does anyone know if the upcoming Centos 6 will provide 
the virtualization packages (right away or in the future)?

Secondly, I'm not sure I understand the CPU allocation stuff. If I have 
6 cores, it appears I can only create VMs that use 6 cores total. Using 
the GUI for creating a new VM will provide me with a max number I can 
allocate. Does this mean that I can allocate, for example,  3 VMs that 
use 2 cores each and never be able to create any other new VMs or does 
this mean I can create as many VMs as I want but only start VMs  that 
use the max total cores or less?

I should get my shiny new machine next week, the one with real 
virtualization capability,  so some of this may be answered on my own by 
playing around, but until then, thought I'd get a head start on 
rectifying my stupidity.

Thanks for any help (along with a special thanks to Eric for his 
original help).

I installed SL 6.0 on one of my machines, and indeed it provides KVM 
(Description in French):
# yum groupinfo virtualization
Loaded plugins: refresh-packagekit
Setting up Group Process
epel/group_gz   

| 201 kB 00:00

Group: Virtualisation
  Description: Fournit un environnement afin d'héberger des clients 
virtuels.
  Mandatory Packages:
qemu-kvm
  Optional Packages:
qemu-kvm-tools

I think CentOS will do the same for 6.0.

 Secondly, I'm not sure I understand the CPU allocation stuff. If I have
 6 cores, it appears I can only create VMs that use 6 cores total. Using
 the GUI for creating a new VM will provide me with a max number I can

You can assign multiple VMs to one CPU. For example, you can have a 
hostmachine with dual-CPUs quadcore, and have 15 VMs or more installed 
on it, and some of them assigned with two cores or more. It is only more 
threads on a core.

2011-06-17 Thread Scott Dowdle
Greetings,

- Original Message -
 RH makes this an add-on to their license. Does anyone know if the upcoming 
 Centos 6 will provide the virtualization packages (right away or in the 
 future)?

Just to clarify... Red Hat's virtualization entitlement is for 
management/support from RHN.  The way they sell RHEL... you can have 1 VM, 4 
VMs or unlimited VMs.  When I say VMs there I mean supported RHN subscribed 
RHEL installs where you register them with RHN and they get updates like any 
RHEL box would.  So you are affectively getting 2, 5 or unlimited RHEL update 
entitlements.  This is done by installing an additional package or two in the 
RHEL VM, and registering it with RHN so it knows it is a VM and RHN knows which 
physical host it is associated with.

If you want to run any number of virtual non-RHEL OSes, go for it.  They are 
not accounted for.  The only thing accounted for are RHN subscriptions by 
physical or virtual machines. It isn't like virt-manager phones home... it does 
not.

None of that entitlement stuff applies to the free RHEL clones so it isn't an 
issue.

 Secondly, I'm not sure I understand the CPU allocation stuff. If I
 have 6 cores, it appears I can only create VMs that use 6 cores total.

It is my understanding that you can allocate basically all of the vcpus you 
want... the only rule though is that you can't assign more vcpus to a single VM 
than you have physical cpus as the OS sees them.  So if you have two quad-core 
CPUs and they can do multiple threads per core... just look at /proc/cpuinfo to 
see how many cpus are listed there.  It is probably the total number of threads 
times the total number of cores per CPU times the number of CPUs.  You can't go 
over that number of vcpus in a single VM.

So if /proc/cpuinfo on the physical host shows 16 CPUs you could make x number 
of VMs with 16 or less vcpus each.  It doesn't matter what the total number is 
across VMs.

From a performance stand point some might want to allocate only as many vcpus 
as they have physical cores or cpus and then pin them so they get a 1-to-1 
allocation... but for most folks, as long as their hardware isn't bogged down 
too much, it is a freeforall.:)

That's my understanding anyway.

TYL,

Entonces ahora mis preguntas más importantes son si las sabes, una vez ya los 
tengo sincronizados:


1) Si yo quiero hacer una prueba de sincronización para comprobar su correcto 
funcionamiento, que método y pasos tengo que seguir para hacer dicha prueba. 
(Teniendo en cuenta que ambos discos están bien, porque solo es una prueba).

2) Si un día por ejemplo un discos de los dos que tengo por cualquier causa 
FALLA, lo normal es que el ordenador no arranque, y si arranca con el puesto 
que ni me lo detecte, ya que estaría como no operativo. Que tendría que hacer 
yo, para poder quitar ese disco dañado y que tendría que hacer para poner otro 
disco y que coja la información del disco que funciona y le coja todos los 
datos para que estén perfectamente sincronizados?


Sé que estoy siendo un poco pesado, pero me encanta el tema y me estas ayudando

2011/6/16 Oriol Borràs obor...@jsf.es:
 Eduardo muy buenas!

 Te acabo de enviar un correo, però te explico gracias a los pasos que me 
 mandaste el primer dia he conseguido lo siguiente:

 Te mando el cat /proc/mdstat

 Personalities: [raid1]
 Md0: active raid1 sdb1[1] sda1[0]
     104320 blocks [2/2] [UU]

 Md1: active raid1 sdb2[1] sda2[0]
     35808768 blocks [2/2] [UU]

 Unused devices: none

 Ahora ambos discos me aparecen como [UU], ahora estan sincronizados? Como 
 puedo comprobar-lo?
 Esque he leido por internet (però no se si es verdad o no), que si lo hago 
 mediante software (que es como lo estoy haciendo) antes de quitar el disco 
 hay que hacer una serie de pasos como marcar como fallido el disco a sacar, 
 ya que si lo desconectas a saco te cargas el metodo de sincronizacion.

 Tu sabes como va el tema exactamente? Ahora mismo los tengo sincronizados? 
 Que pasos tengo que hacer para hacer pruebas?

Ah, pero excelente! Justamente te estaba respondiendo tu mensaje
anterior, no había visto éste. Por lo visto has dejado ambos
dispositivos OK, porque dos UU quieren decir que los dos miembros de
cada RAID están UP (encendidas).
Seguramente has usado el comando --re-add?

Para salir de dudas, lanza de nuevo los comandos:
mdadm --detail /dev/md0
mdadm --detail /dev/md1

y debemos ver claves como que Active devices = 2 para ambos
dispositivos RAID, y que ambas unidades de cada RAID están active
sync.

 Muchas gracias genio!
Felicitaciones a ti, te has desempantanado solo!

Lo que faltaría para coronar el postre sería averiguar qué ocurrió
para que ese disco saliera del conjunto RAID. Tú lo has desconectado
adrede?

En alguna ocasión me pasó esto pero finalmente no pude saber por qué.
Creo que un cable SATA mal ajustado se salió de lugar y se desconectó
el disco, pero no pude confirmarlo.

Un gran saludo

Bien, aquí aparecen las claves que buscábamos: State: clean,
Working Devices=2, ambos dispositivos active sync. Con el otro
conjunto RAID igual.
Todo está funcionando bien.


 1) Si yo quiero hacer una prueba de sincronización para comprobar su correcto

 (Teniendo en cuenta que ambos discos están bien, porque solo es una prueba).

 2) Si un día por ejemplo un discos de los dos que tengo por cualquier causa

 yo, para poder quitar ese disco dañado y que tendría que hacer para poner 
 otro disco y que coja la información del disco que funciona y le coja todos 
 los datos para que estén perfectamente sincronizados?

Respecto de la pregunta 2, no es así, precisamente queremos RAID 1 por
redundancia para que en caso de que UNO de los dos falle, el sistema
tolere ese fallo. El sistema puede arrancar con el RAID en modo
degradado (con uno solo funcionando). Lo que sí hace falta es propagar
la información de GRUB al disco secundario para que cualquiera sea el
disco que falle, la información de booteo esté acesible. Esto debería
hacerlo Anaconda sin chistar, pero por alguna razón siempre me ha
tocado hacerlo a mano.

Cuando falle el secundario, esa información de booteo estará donde
siempre. Pero si falla el primario, necesitamos que la fase 1 de GRUB
esté también en el secundario, que ahora se verá como primario porque
ha salido de línea. Siguiendo unos pasos con la consola del GRUB,  le
haces creer que el disco primario es tu secundario y lo reinstalas.

Para revisar este proceso (y para aclarar la pregunta 1) sugiero ir a
las fuentes:

http://raid.wiki.kernel.org (aquí está la información mantenida, los
HOWTOs que andan por fuera de este sitio están desactualizados)
o
http://docs.redhat.com/docs/es-ES/index.html

 MIN_GNT and MAX_LAT
 
 These read-only byte registers are used to specify the device's 
desired settings for Latency Timer values. For both registers, the 
value specifies a period of time in units of 1/4 microsecond. Values of 
0 indicate that the device has no major requirements for the settings 
of Latency Timers.
 
 MIN_GNT is used for specifying how long a burst period the device 
needs assuming a clock rate of 33MHz. MAX_LAT is used for specifying 
how often the device needs to gain access to the PCI bus.
 
 Devices should specify values that will allow them to most effectively 
 use the PCI bus as well as their internal resources. Values should be 
 chosen assuming that the target does not insert any wait states.

 You're sure that's not a vim option?

 No, only emacs has commands like Meta-X psychoanalyze-pinhead.
 Seriously - that's a real command installed on millions of computers for
 decades.  Try it.

I know how to get in, and out, of emacs. Did you see yesterday's XKCD?

But... plaease don't tell me that emacs comes with eliza

Yes - and then some. You need something to waste those cycles that you 
save by running awk instead of perl.
