Hi Yaniv,

thanks - had a quick look - is the PyAPI able to get the current 
usage of the VMs (e.g. Memory/CPU/etc. usage) - it's the main reason 
(for monitoring & trending) that I need this ..


Thanks!
Alex



It does. The SDK is auto-generated from the REST interface so you can 
get the statistics sub-collection and use it.

Awesome - thanks! :)

Alex



Hi Yaniv,

Is there a document / wiki article that has examples to get those 
metrics for e.g. ram usage, cpu usage, etc. ?


Thanks!

Nope, the 2 stuck VMs have still not been released from "Unknown"

well, hacking the db will work, but reproducing this and logs for us to

The host column is blank for these VMs.  Also, running `virsh --readonly
list` on the remaining hosts matches the VMs oVirt shows as running and
does not list the "Unknown" VMs on either host.

It did not.  I also removed the host since I will need to add it back in
after re-installing the OS on a more stable boot drive.  Still no change.

You have me thinking... perhaps oVirt thinks they are running on the host
they were being migrated to.  If so, maybe putting that host into
maintenance will clear it up.  I'll try that as soon as I get the down host
back up.

[Users] call for suggests on oVirt authentication back-end (directory service, etc.)

[Alan Johnson]

Thanks to Tim Hildred, I found out about the need to have a directory
server.  Before I embark on this path, I thought I could ping the community
to get a since for what is common, easy, and/or available to best suit our
wants.

First, what's the easiest one to setup and use?  Something with a simple
GUI would be desirable: a webmin module perhaps?

Most ideal would be something that is in line with our desire to move
towards single sign on, ultimately authenticating against Google Apps.  Does
Google provide something supported?  Is there something that can proxy
google apps auth to an oVirt supported protocol?

Alternately, we have an LDAP server, but it does NOT store passwords, and
as such, does not provide authentication for anything.  Will oVirt store
passwords for users created from such an LDAP service, or does LDAP need to
be the authority as well?

Finally, we also have NIS setup (thought we hope to get away from that
soon), so some means of authenticating through the systems local PAM system
would be the next most convenient.

These are just thoughts and I am completely open to suggestions.  Thanks in
advance for any input! =)

Re: [Users] ovirt 3.1 guest pxe boot fails

Hi,

I've checked this issue with ipxe-roms-qemu from default fedora repo 
(ipxe-roms-qemu-20120328-1.gitaac9718.fc17) - same behaviour: first time 
system pxe boots fine after domain start, but after guest-reboot - pxe 
boot fails, cant get ip from dhcp and malformed packets on bridge interface.
And same situation with fedora host not connected to ovirt (vm created 
with virt-manager)

so now i'm using ipxe-roms-qemu-20120926-1.git09cc63f.fc17

still cant find logical connection between ipxe version and my

Although you managed to boot from network in the first time, I'm not 
sure that DHCP packet with length of 395 is ok - I think it should be 
~60, I would start with checking the gpxe-roms-qemu package version.



pxe works, ip address received and machine boots,
but if I'll restart it via guest command 'reboot' (i.e not through 
stop/start from ovirt admin interface) - pxe boot fails, ipxe just 
states timeout on dhcp requests

and with tcpdump i even cannot see any dhcp requests at all!
instead of that i get some weird malformed packets:

 please note only the native spice usb mode is supported
(legacy is not).
 which client?
 which guest?
 which ovirt version?



The mode is set yo legacy, I tried to switch to native but the VM
doesn't starts, and show the following error: VM Win7 is down. Exit
message: internal error Process exited while reading console log
output:
qemu-kvm: -device piix3-usb-uhci,id=usb,bus=pci.__0,addr=0x1.0x2:
Duplicate ID 'usb' for device .


legacy isn't relevant to ovirt (its legacy...).
the native error was already fixed.
which versions of ovirt engine are you using?


- oVirt version: oVirt Engine Version:3.1.0-3.19.el6



- client:
RHEV-Agent 3.0.10
RHEV-Block 3.0.8
RHEV-Network 3.0.6
RHEV-Serial 3.0.5
RHEV-Spice 3.0.5
RHEV-Spice-Agent 3.0.4
RHEV-Tools 3.0.37
RHEV-USB 3.0.8


wait, these are rhev, not ovirt?
(rhev does have legacy usb mode)


I downloaded those package from the Internet, what are the guest
packages supposed to be installed ?


1. not sure where you downloaded them from - they are not 
re-distributable in their binary form afair.


2. these are the guest tools, you would need the client tools as well, 
which in legacy mode require some proprietary 3rdparty software (hence 
it is legacy)


3. i recommend trying the new native mode (i.e, which spice client 
supports, open source based).

Re: [Users] ovirt-node install hangs

[Alexandre Santos]

It's working now :-)

Thanks a lot all!

Alex

P.S. I haven't tried installing it on my SATA disk because I have there a
Local Node already running but I'm going to try again on another one to see
if I can send to you the error log.
