I love the detailed solution! +1 on NAT network. Except that it can save ip address, it also could reduce the external physical switch's pressure on mac table. Because the VM's mac address is invisible to external switch. But there're two limitations of NAT network compared with physically bridged network: 1. The VMs attached to the same NAT network, but on different hosts can't hear each other. It could be resolved by constructing a tunnel or tunnels among the hosts in the same cluster and centralizing the mac address management of dnsmasq on ovirt engine. 2. The VMs in NAT network are hidden behind the host. The external host can't initiate a connection to the VM. I think it's fine for a desktop VM.\ For a server VM, it can't be resolved by add a DNAT rule on demand. It's similar to the 'floating ip address' in quantum. also need to remember live migration will probably not work with NAT. Yes, it could break live migration. But we could use conntrack-tools(conntrack or conntrackd) to sync the ip conntrack entries related to that VM's ip address before resume the VM on dest host. Just a preliminary idea, not verified yet. how would floating IP work? wouldn't you need to map it 1:1 with the NAT'd IP? Yes, it should have a 1:1 mapping between external ip address and the ip address in the NAT network. Yes, the rant there, about ovirt network being tightly-coupled with a physical interface, is 100% justified. I'm trying to address some of that inhttp://www.ovirt.org/Features/Nicless_Network but it's a long way to go. I managed to implement Virtualbox-hostonly-alike networks gathering more info from: http://libvirt.org/formatnetwork.html .

Re: [Users] Fedora upgrading from 3.1 to 3.2
Hi,
let me restate my main question: Is there any patch-set I can try to verify if
the changes work, or how long until there is any update to the repository
packages? We have an identical oVirt installation set up next to our production
environment that we can mess up as much as we´d like without interfering, so if
you have anything you´d like to test, we are game:)

I love the detailed solution! +1 on NAT network. Except that it can save ip address, it also could reduce the external physical switch's pressure on mac table. Because the VM's mac address is invisible to external switch. But there're two limitations of NAT network compared with physically bridged network: 1. The VMs attached to the same NAT network, but on different hosts can't hear each other. It could be resolved by constructing a tunnel or tunnels among the hosts in the same cluster and centralizing the mac address management of dnsmasq on ovirt engine. 2. The VMs in NAT network are hidden behind the host. The external host can't initiate a connection to the VM. I think it's fine for a desktop VM.\ For a server VM, it can't be resolved by add a DNAT rule on demand. It's similar to the 'floating ip address' in quantum. also need to remember live migration will probably not work with NAT. That's why I consider this as an option to host-local networks. how would floating IP work? wouldn't you need to map it 1:1 with the NAT'd IP? Yes, the rant there, about ovirt network being tightly-coupled with a physical interface, is 100% justified. I'm trying to address some of that inhttp://www.ovirt.org/Features/Nicless_Network but it's a long way to go. ___ Users mailing list Users@ovirt.org http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users

Even in the I/O write category. My results with oVirt are deceiving. So I'm going to explain my test machine, setup and ask your for advice to find out what's wrong. Any more data you need please ask for it. I like oVirt mostly because of its datacentre-aware web manager. But if it gets unusable I would have to take a look at other systems. Some random questions: * Is it a problem that sandbridge architecture is being detected as an Intel Conroe architecture? * Is there any easy way to test aio=native in oVirt when running virtual machines just for testing it? Our testing showed that aio=threads works better for file-based storage (vs. aio=native for block storage). * Should I test oVirt 3.2? Is there any improvement in I/O writing? Probably not, but you should try with oVirt 3.2 nevertheless, for the wealth of other features that might be useful now or later (direct LUN for example). Interesting. * What about Fedora 18? Any improvements in I/O writing or, I don't know, the Virtio system? Probably a newer QEMU and KVM can provide better performance. Did not go through the complete changelog to verify it. Ok. * Any ovirt-node package for Debian/Ubuntu? The wiki seems like a draft (http://www.ovirt.org/Ovirt_build_on_debian/ubuntu). * Any I/O write consuming package that I should remove from stock Fedora just before installing it from the web manager? So... Any idea? I'd start with comparing the complete QEMU command line between the instances. I don't think it's only the -cpu that'll affect the performance (unless the test is CPU bound?). Specifically, what about the cache= setting? We use, for data safety, cache=none. That's what I did in the proxmox's manually run qemus. Some news: - Although I haven't done a proper check I think it has improved a lot by disabling cpu scaling and letting performance Take a look at: http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=272109 Proxmox with direct LV as a hard disk is still faster but that makes sense because oVirt 3.1 only worked with files in filesystem and not with LVs. Maybe that 3.2 direct LUN support implies also LV support. -- -- Adrián Gibanel I.T.

Re: [Users] iSCSI Storage mirror
As for the oVirt point of view, oVirt does not support storage mirroring out of the box unless it used with Gluster FS As for the iSCSI mirroring, what exactly do you mean by mirroring?

[Users] Cluster corosync mulicast issue
Hi all, I have no idea if it is ovirt related, nevertheless I give it a try. Playing around with Red Hat Clustering I created a 3 node cluster. It seems to works fine, but after changing a couple of things /var/log/messages is flooding with warnings like: Mar 13 18:13:58 node3 corosync[1560]: [TOTEM ] Retransmit List: 9b 9c 88 8a 8b 8e 8f 90 91 92 93 94 95 96 97 98 99 9a Mar 13 18:13:58 node3 corosync[1560]: [TOTEM ] Retransmit List: 9b 9c 88 8a 8b 8e 8f 90 91 92 93 94 95 96 97 98 99 9a Mar 13 18:13:58 node3 corosync[1560]: [TOTEM ] Retransmit List: 9b 9c 88 8a 8b 8e 8f 90 91 92 93 94 95 96 97 98 99 9a It seems multicast related, which all seems fine: [root@node1 ~]# netstat -g IPv6/IPv4 Group Memberships Interface RefCnt Group --- -- - lo 1 all-systems.mcast.net eth01 239.192.7.246 eth01 all-systems.mcast.net eth11 all-systems.mcast.net Testing with omping works well.

Re: [Users] iSCSI Storage mirror
Hi Tal, Thanks for the reply. The process I was considering following was something like this: http://koo.fi/blog/2009/06/10/redundant-iscsi-storage-for-linux/ Write my VM images to a local disk then use an iSCSI target to maintain a copy in the event that the host goes offline, or if I otherwise need to do a migration. I have been looking into GlusterFS (another system I have little knowledge or experience of), and I believe that it's more of a network-based highly-available -resilient system than one designed for performance. I'm also a little loathe at this late stage of my build to introduce more subsystems that'll to be planned for, troubleshooted maintained - I'm not so sure my existing setup will have good support for it anyway. It is certainly something worth-while to consider, but just not at this stage (probably v.2 of my deployment). I hope this answers your questions.

[Users] management server very slow lately
Hello, lately my manager server web interface is extremely sluggish. Perhaps the server is ready for a reboot? My management server is also the hosts of my NFS export and ISO mounts. Is there a prescribed method for rebooting when I am also providing NFS services from the management server?

Re: [Users] Userportal SPICE Woes

I reverted the database changes and restarted the engine again.

[Users] template provisioning permissions
Got an interesting one here as pertaining to template permissions and provisioning. Given the following setup/situation: A cluster with a user A assigned poweruser role permissions on the cluster. - User A is assigned poweruser role permissions to storage domain A - User A is a consumer of quota A which is assigned to specific storage domain A A cluster with a user B assigned poweruser role permissions on the cluster. - User B is assigned poweruser role permissions to storage domain B - User B is a consumer of quota B which is assigned to specific storage domain B User A creates a VM and makes it a template of it with permissions of everyone as UserTemplateBasedVM. User B tries to create a VM based on the template that User A created. While the base VM profile can be created the storage provisioning encounters an issue. Via Template provisioning option with the thin provision option will fail due to the fact that User B does not have proper permissions to User A's storage domain. The symptom of this expected failure is the target storage domain pull-down is empty. (It really should show something or be greyed out rather than just be blank at least some sort of user notification). The real issue here is with the clone provisioning option. The idea here is to be to clone a copy of the template disks into User B's storage domain as a target where User B has poweruser role permissions. The problem here is that this fails just like the above thin provision which should not be the case. The target pulldown still blank it should by default show the target storage domain to which User B has permissions to that being Storage domain B. Further debugging yields that by assigning UserTemplateVM permissions to User A's storage domain allows User B to use either of the options above although the only one really desired is the clone option since we don't want User B creating VM's in User A's storage domain. There still however was an issue upon selecting clone and selecting Storage domain B as the target the VM is created but the disk is created in Storage domain A instead of storage domain B.
