Re: [Users] Adding disk via rest api

2012-06-27 Thread Ori Liel
Hi Kuba,

Sorry for your trouble; we had a bug passing storage-domain on 
disk creation. The solution was merged upstream about a week ago 
(on June 19). 

Contact me if you need anything else.

Have a good day,

Ori.

 Yeah, I see that creation of disk that not attached to vm fails for no

 In addition, in python sdk I can't access the /api/disks.

 Michael, can you help with that?

I checked the manual work gluster from two hosts. Mounting is working
correctly.

However, in a pair of hosts refuse to work (connection error storage).

Individually, each of their hosts working correctly,

and connects with gluster storage.

I have to manually mount gluster storage? In which folder?

You can write that how-to add a server to an existing cluster of gluster?

Storage not initialized, although on one server working successfully with
gluster storage.

Vdsm log an attachment

(vdsm-6.log - node -1)

(vdsm-7.log - node -2)

 

 

You have to tweak you ipstates table to allow glusterd to talk to the other
box glusterd and you have to manually peer the systems together.

[Users] Addition of nodes to oVirt-engine

2012-06-27 Thread jose garcia

Good evening to all,

I have added two nodes of Fedora 17 with vdsm 4.10 installed to oVirt 
3.1 engine. I was having problems
with SSL, so I have disabled it. When I added the nodes there was no 
attempt of installation as it was
the case with oVirt 3.0, but the nodes get activated, provided that 
ovirtmgmt bridge is present.


I have been told that there is a configuration in the database that make 
this happen. I just recreated the
database via the script /dbscripts/create_db_devel.sh and run 
engine-setup, after removing all packages from oVirt 3.0 and jboss and 
installing ovirt 3.1 basic packages.


My question is: What would be the 'standard' procedure to get oVirt 3.1 
running?


Regards,

Jose Garcia

[Users] How can I create a snapshot for virtual disks only?

2012-06-27 Thread Shu Ming

Hi,

I am testing oVirt engine 3.1 beta release 06-07.   I tried 
snapshots--create button for a VM and it looked like that the 
snapshot to be created was for both the running state of the system and 
the virtual disks.I am wondering if there is any way to create the 
snapshot only for the virtual disks of the VM in engine?

live snapshot is for disks only, not for RAM.
so the live snapshot button only snapshots the disks already.

Enhh, interesting.  So it is not live snapshot?   The VM must be paused 
to do the snapshot in my engine.   Also,  I hit a bug to resume the VM 
after the snapshot was done.  The VM was always in pause state after I 
clicked the resume button after the snapshot was done.  I looked into 
the VM by VNC and VNC console showed that the VM was in frozen state.  
Has anyone seen these or has it been fixed in the upstream?





other problem is the VM must be paused when the snapshot is undergoing.

That would make sense only when you are powered off, wouldn't it?
Otherwise what's the point of disk snapshot with open

buffers in mem, etc, without saving the state of the VM too?


I understand syncing virtual disk state with the OS cache is a 
quite

challenge to a snapshot tool developers. However, it is a handy
feature
for the users just want to back up their data in the disks without
stopping VM. As other virtualization solution support this
feature, we
should narrow the gap to attract more users to oVirt.



actually, live snapshot today is only supported for disks, without
the
RAM.
I can not find the button to create a snapshot for disk only in 
engine

3.1 beta release. Are you talking about a undergoing project?


The is no option to save a single disk in webadmin.


live snapshot is for disks only, not for RAM.
so the live snapshot button only snapshots the disks already.


there is a mix of two things here:
1. taking snapshot of a subset of the disks.
2. taking snapshot of disks + ram

Hi,

no. the snapshot is for the entire vm and it's disks.

Hi,

I am testing oVirt engine 3.1 beta release 06-07. I tried
snapshots--create button for a VM and it looked like 
that the

snapshot to be created was for both the running state of the
system
and the virtual disks. I am wondering if there is any way to
create
the snapshot only for the virtual disks of the VM in engine?


Do we have future plan to make snapshot for it's disks?

How does this compare to other virtualization solutions?To me it seems like 
live snapshot is the wrong term to use if it doesn't include the RAM state. 
Specifically thinking of VirtualBox or VMWare Workstation... if I take a 
snapshot of a running system the disk and RAM states are preserved in that 
snapshot. If the VM is shut down, then only a snapshot of the disks is taken. 
Being that 3.1 is really close and this likely can't change (if such a change 
were to be made), can we at least have this noted somewhere in the 
documentation and/or interface that that is how live snapshots works at the 
current time? disk state only, no RAM state. If it's already there then I shall 
go to the quiet corner and RTFM. - Nick  ___
