Rob,

It seems that a bug in vdsm code is hiding the real issue.
Could you do a

sed -i s/ParseError/ElementTree.ParseError /usr/share/vdsm/gluster/cli.py

restart vdsmd, and retry?

Bala, would you send a patch fixing the ParseError issue (and adding a
unit test that would have caught it on time)?

Dan.

Re: [Users] 6.4 CR: oVirt 3.1 breaks with missing cpu features after update to CentOS 6.4 (6.3 + CR)

On 04/03/2013 19:03, Patrick Hurrelmann wrote:

Hi list,

I tested the upcoming CentOS 6.4 release with my lab installation of
oVirt 3.1 and it fails to play well.

Background: freshly installed CentOS 6.3 host in a Nehalem CPU-type
Cluster with 2 other hosts. Storage is iSCSI. Datacenter and Cluster are
both version 3.1. oVirt 3.1 was installed via Dreyou's repo.

In CentOS 6.3 all is fine and the following rpms are installed:

Full outputs of virsh capabilities and vdsCaps are attached. The only
difference I can see is that 6.4 exposes one additional cpu flags (sep)
and this seems to break the cpu recognition of vdsm.

Anyone has some hints on how to resolve or debug this further? What more
information can I provide to help?

Fix a bug in the naming convertion of cpu feature 'sse4_x'

The list slice opertion missed the last character. It caused
the feature name couldn't get chance to be converted into
libvirt's naming.

[Users] 6.4 CR: oVirt 3.1 breaks with missing cpu features after update to CentOS 6.4 (6.3 + CR)

[Patrick Hurrelmann]

Hi list,

I tested the upcoming CentOS 6.4 release with my lab installation of
oVirt 3.1 and it fails to play well.

Background: freshly installed CentOS 6.3 host in a Nehalem CPU-type
Cluster with 2 other hosts. Storage is iSCSI. Datacenter and Cluster are
both version 3.1. oVirt 3.1 was installed via Dreyou's repo.

In CentOS 6.3 all is fine and the following rpms are installed:

libvirt.x86_640.9.10-21.el6_3.8
libvirt-client.x86_64 0.9.10-21.el6_3.8
libvirt-lock-sanlock.x86_64   0.9.10-21.el6_3.8
libvirt-python.x86_64 0.9.10-21.el6_3.8
vdsm.x86_64   4.10.0-0.46.15.el6
vdsm-cli.noarch   4.10.0-0.46.15.el6
vdsm-python.x86_644.10.0-0.46.15.el6
vdsm-xmlrpc.noarch4.10.0-0.46.15.el6
qemu-kvm.x86_64   2:0.12.1.2-2.295.el6_3.10


uname -a
Linux vh-test1.mydomain.com 2.6.32-279.22.1.el6.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed Feb 6
03:10:46 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

virsh cpu capabilities on 6.3:

  x86_64
  Nehalem
  Intel
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  


and corresponding cpu features from vdsClient:

   cpuCores = 4
   cpuFlags = fpu,vme,de,pse,tsc,msr,pae,mce,cx8,apic,mtrr,pge,mca,
  cmov,pat,pse36,clflush,dts,acpi,mmx,fxsr,sse,sse2,ss,ht,

  model_Nehalem
   cpuModel = Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU   X3430  @ 2.40GHz
   cpuSockets = 1
   cpuSpeed = 2394.132


So the system was updated to 6.4 using the continuous release repo.

Installed rpms after update to 6.4 (6.3 + CR):

libvirt.x86_640.10.2-18.el6
libvirt-client.x86_64 0.10.2-18.el6
libvirt-lock-sanlock.x86_64   0.10.2-18.el6
libvirt-python.x86_64 0.10.2-18.el6

vdsm-cli.noarch   4.10.0-0.46.15.el6
vdsm-python.x86_644.10.0-0.46.15.el6
vdsm-xmlrpc.noarch4.10.0-0.46.15.el6
qemu-kvm.x86_64   2:0.12.1.2-2.355.el6_4_4.1

virsh capabilities on 6.4:

  x86_64
  Nehalem
  Intel
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  


and corresponding cpu features from vdsClient:

   cpuCores = 4
   cpuFlags = fpu,vme,de,pse,tsc,msr,pae,mce,cx8,apic,sep,mtrr,pge,mca,
  cmov,pat,pse36,clflush,dts,acpi,mmx,fxsr,sse,sse2,ss,ht,

   cpuModel = Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU   X3430  @ 2.40GHz
   cpuSockets = 1
   cpuSpeed = 2394.098

Full outputs of virsh capabilities and vdsCaps are attached. The only
difference I can see is that 6.4 exposes one additional cpu flags (sep)
and this seems to break the cpu recognition of vdsm.

Anyone has some hints on how to resolve or debug this further? What more
information can I provide to help?

Best regards
Patrick

Re: [Users] Introducing oVirt Monitoring UI-Plugin

Hi René,

Yes :) we could simply extend existing API functions to accept DOM element as 
custom content, in addition to contentUrl/iframe implementation.

This could be done for each API function that currently works with contentUrl 
argument: addMainTab, addSubTab, showDialog

The reason for pushing this feature forward is to give everyone more 
possibilities, e.g. I wouldn't want to lock people into "plugins can contribute 
content only via contentUrl" approach.

Also, check out 
http://www.ovirt.org/Features/UIPlugins#oVirt_Monitoring_UI_Plugin :)

Vojtech

That was my plan - the plugin should fit as good as possible into oVirt.

Sounds really great.
I use Perl Template Toolkit and jQuery at the moment, but think that
Template Toolkit isn't really necessary as most of the HTML could be
done with plain HTML and jQuery as well.

I'll skip the api.ready call - thanks for the information.

Yes of course - thanks.

Re: [Users] Copy VM using the commandline

[YamakasY]

Sorry, I thought I did an "Reply to all".

See below.

What I did is the following:

Create a disk using the same size as
 your old one. remove the image file and move your old image file into 
the new folder for this disk.

Change the name of the image to the one that is also like the meta file and 
you're done.

This is a working way :)

Cheers,

So I have to simply run what is written:


- Opening a console window as administrator:

C:\> python OVirtGuestService.py install
Installing service OVirtGuestService
Service installed


- Tryng to start the installed service
C:\> net start OVirtGuestService
The OVirt Guest Agent Service service is starting.
The OVirt Guest Agent Service service could not be started.

A service specific error occurred: 1.

More help is available by typing NET HELPMSG 3547.
but nothing interesting with "NET HELPMSG 3547" for debugging...

Re: [Users] ovirt / 2 iscsi storage domains / same LUN IDs

[Alex Leonhardt]

Hi,

I just tested this with this config :




vendor_id ISCSI-MULTIPATH
scsi_id MULTIPATHTEST
scsi_sn 9911
lun 1




However, upon discovery / login, the LUN ID was again :

Re: [Users] Improvement for the oVirt java sdk

Hi Michael,

Yes, that is the case here. I'm getting the JSESSIONID from the client and

OK. Done

I didn't know how to post an rfe bug, so I chose "unspecified" as

Feel free to modify it if this is the wrong way to submit RFE bug...

Those are indeed great improvement suggestions for a better user experience.

OK.
here it is:
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0BwoPbcrMv8mva2Z2dUNJTWlCWHM/edit?usp=sharing

Starting point 15:16 both powered off.
First message with 15:17 is boot of sl1432b that is the master and boots ok.

First message with 15:21 is boot of slclone that is the clone.

The slackware OS uses lilo as boot loader and on master it is
configured this way at the moment:

root@sl1432b:~# grep -v ^# /etc/lilo.conf
append=" vt.default_utf8=0"
boot = /dev/vda

  bitmap = /boot/slack.bmp
  bmp-colors = 255,0,255,0,255,0
  bmp-table = 60,6,1,16
  bmp-timer = 65,27,0,255


prompt
timeout = 50
change-rules
  reset
vga = normal

disk=/dev/vda bios=0x80 max-partitions=7

image = /boot/vmlinuz
  root = /dev/vda2
  initrd = /boot/initrd.gz
  label = Linux
  read-only



The "disk=..." entry was added to be able to support boot from device
of type vda in slackware, that doesn't support it ootb..

Yes, you are right. I thought I had selected a storage domain with
sufficient free space but probably it was not so.

I just repeated the operation, creating a snapshot and then a clone of
the same VM and selecting an SD with sufficient free space, and it
completed correctly with the cloned VM able to boot.
I take the occasion to suggest oVirt to at least behave this way:

1) pre-calculate necessary space and in case of problems don't start
the clone operations but send a warning message impeding it

If during 1) all was ok and in the mean time went KO (unexpected new
storage allocated that made impossible clone completion)
2) notify the user with the actual problem (insufficient space) and
not those crypic messages

Hi,



I’m still testing oVirt 3.2 with GlusterFS 3.3
Have 2 F18 nodes for virt service, 2 F18 nodes for gluster services, 1 F18

Adding Gluster-nodes / oVirt-nodes is working as expected.



At the moment I want to test Gluster Volume management with oVirt,

when trying to create a replicate brick on the Gluster-nodes

the webgui says

Does anybody can give me an advice where I can look at (->”Failed to

It´s apparently a problem with gluster:
http://www.mail-archive.com/users@ovirt.org/msg06118.html

The version problems has been ironed out, so just add this repo:
/etc/yum.repos.d/gluster.repo:
[gluster]
name=GlusterFS
baseurl=http://bits.gluster.org/pub/gluster/glusterfs/stage/
gpgcheck=0

Update gluster and try again. Just had this issue this morning and updating 
made it work as expected:)

Thanks in advance!

Re: [Users] UI Plugin iframe dialogs

There's a patch for improving showDialog API/implementation to integrate with 
standard WebAdmin dialog look & feel :)

http://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/c/11717/

Still a work-in-progress, but we're planning to finalize/merge it soon!

For now, you can use the current showDialog API, e.g. api.showDialog('Dialog 
Title', 'http://www.example-content.com/', 640, 480);

I have one question for you: would you prefer if new showDialog API supported 
accepting DOM elements instead of contentUrl string? For example (using jQuery):

  var $content = $('Custom dialog content');
  var contentElement = $content.get();
  api.showDialog('Dialog Title', contentElement, 640, 480);

[In other words, UI plugin could build custom UI directly on client, instead of 
having to ask server to provide it.]

Vojtech

Thanks a lot for your answer and sorry for my late response - I skipped dialogs 
for my first UI plugin release, but have to deal with it in the next release 
again.

I will go for the showDialog API method, as I think I will not into troubles in 
future oVirt version and avoid hacks.
It would be really great if showDialog would be able to create these nice oVirt 
dialogs in addition to opening new windows.

Yes , it can be

the other entries are not related


Hi,
I set these variables using psql command:

psql ovirtdb postgres -c "update vdc_options set option_value =
'/opt/jboss/jboss-as-7.1.1.Final/standalone/deployments/engine.ear'
where option_name = 'ENGINEEARLib';"
psql ovirtdb postgres -c "update vdc_options set option_value =
'/opt/jboss/CA/ca/private/ca.pem' where option_name = 'CAEngineKey';

in database looks like there is everything fine:

ovirtdb=# select option_name, option_value from vdc_options where
option_name IN ('CAEngineKey', 'ENGINEEARLib');
   option_name  |   option_value

   CAEngineKey  | /opt/jboss/CA/ca/private/ca.pem
   ENGINEEARLib |
/opt/jboss/jboss-as-7.1.1.Final/standalone/deployments/engine.ear

However the problem still occurs. I set debug log level. The jboss

Did you restarted the oVirt service ?


Yes I restarted the oVirt service.

Hi, If I dont think about it as a solid solution, is it doable?

Thanks for your answer.

We have both Netvault and Acronis on the most of the VMs, but then we
have other VMs in the cluster that we want a daily scheduled snapshot
implementation on, but we dont want to setup a complete backup
solution on this VMs. It's testmachines, different virtual desktops,
OCR-readers and so on. We have no needs of snapshots like in VMWare
world for them, nor even a complete backup solution. There I think
Ovirts snapshot handling should be perfect.



in general, you are correct - you don't care about live snapshot with 
memory, since you probably mostly care about backing up the disks.
you may care, depending on the type of guest, on having a 
qemu-guest-agent installed, which would help with syncing the writes to 
the disks before the live snapshot is taken.


something to test though is if a daily snapshot does not degrade the 
performance of the running VM, due to more COW layers (until the backup 
api and live merge are in place).

[Users] Fwd: build vdsm error at TestSuperVdsm

I didn't notice the personal reply. Any news with the tests? did you try

OK. so first, you can work with NOSE_EXCLUDE=.* until we figure the error. try 
to get into vdsm/tests folder and run
./run_tests_local.sh -s superVdsmTests.py
and tell me what you've got. it runs only supervdsm tests.

if it doesn't work, check if vdsm is running, stop it and try again.
i just did the same, fetch the last code and ran with the tests and it works 
(with some exceptions, but works)

TestSuperVdsm
testIsSuperUp   Exception

seems like its something with your environment, and we will figure what is it

It´s apparently a problem with gluster:
http://www.mail-archive.com/users@ovirt.org/msg06118.html

The version problems has been ironed out, so just add this repo:
/etc/yum.repos.d/gluster.repo:
[gluster]
name=GlusterFS
baseurl=http://bits.gluster.org/pub/gluster/glusterfs/stage/
gpgcheck=0

Update gluster and try again. Just had this issue this morning and updating 
made it work as expected:)

Hi, If I dont think about it as a solid solution, is it doable?
Even with a manual live snapshot I will lack this memory state, right?

All I want if I must restore a snapshot is to get the WM up on track in
an earlier state.

Live snapshot does not save memory state, IIRC. So either shutdown all

[Users] oVirt support for backup/restore

[Ricky Schneberger]

Hi,

How can I do if I want to schedule a daily live-snapshot of a VM for
backup purpose?

I have backup software inside my VMs (Netvault), but in some cases I
just want to do daily snapshots and use them as backups.

ENGINE_USR should be something like /usr/share/ovirt-engine
The warning about the ui-plugins directory is probably because it doesn't exist 
(see bug https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=895933), but that 
shouldn't effect anything besides loading UI plugins you wrote/downloaded, so 
the admin portal should work properly.

As far as I know, the ENGINE_USR is currently used only in order to detect the 
ui-plugins directory.

What happens when you just browse to
http://host:8700/webadmin
?

Does it work?
