[Users] Newbie: some questions on ovirt
Hello, I am evaluating ovirt as a developer virtualization solution and a virtualizer for fast provisioning of software in SOHO market (I send entire vms preconfigured) I use ovirt on centos6 with glusterfs. So I have these questions that I have not found the reply in forums: - In my lab I use spice protocol in a gigabit ethernet, and I use an old thinkpad as terminal, so I would like to disable compression because spice rendering is slow; - I have created some snapshots but I cannot see them in the snapshot list, what do I need to check? I would like to export/import snapshot for backups and to provision them: can you tell me best way to automatize it? Thanks in advance for help!

Me too with oVirt 3.3 setup and GlusterFS DataCenter.
One dedicated engine + 2 vdsm hosts. All fedora 19 + ovirt stable.
My trying to migrate VM is CentOS 6.4 fully updated
centos qemu/libvirt versions don't support glusterfs storage domain yet.
6.5 would be needed. we're trying to find a solution until then.
After trying to migrate in webadmin gui I get:
VM c6s is down. Exit message: 'iface'.
For a few moments the VM appears as down in the GUI but actually an
ssh session I had before is still alive.
Also the qemu process on source host is still there.
After a little, the VM results again as Up in the source node from the gui
Actually it never stopped:
[root@c6s ~]# uptime

Ok. Thanks for clarifying this You can test fence_ilo2 from command line (if you try a reboot from command line I suggest to set the host into maintenance mode in oVirt as otherwise oVirt tries to fence the host too and ILO/IPMI interfaces sometimes show strange behavior when resetting it twice): # /usr/sbin/fence_ilo2 --help These same blades was configured in the past with RHCS and RHEL 5.x I've already used fence_ilo2, fence_drac5 and fence_ipmilan in both RHEL/CentOS 5.x and 6.y I remember in the past the logic changed regarding fencing So sometimes there was this workflow depending on agent and its actions' support: poweroff status poweron And sometimes there were problems in timing responses so that the node remained in power off state. I also opened a bug for this with an improved suggestion, I don't remeber right now some years ago for the python script So the question is about how gui settings translates into fence_ilo2 generated command so that I can reproduce it Thanks for the suggestion about putting host into maintenance If ilo fencing isn't working as expected (e.g. host gets powered off instead of rebooted even if action is set to reboot you could try if fence_ipmilan does the trick. You could also check if you're using the latest BIOS version... Eventually I'll try it. Blades bios is the latest available as they don't receive updates any more. For iLO2 fw I think they are on 2.x version even if the better release probabbly was around 1.80 I'll check also this Gianluca ___ Users mailing list Users@ovirt.org http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users

CentOS 6.4 x86_64 was configured as a server in oVirt, but wanting to generate some significant I/O during install to test Gluster efficiency I choosed Gnome Desktop in CentOS anaconda phase.

In case I have a dedicated network for gluster for the nodes, how can i configure it? Generally there two ways to go about this: 1. add a new network role 'gluster replication' and then adjust the engine code to pass the network with this role as parameter to the replication verb in VDSM. 2. in the replication verb in the UI let the user choose which network to use for the replication. I am not familiar with the replication verb so I might be missing something but otherwise I think that solution 2 is more simple and less invasive then requiring a new network role. Bala, is there a means to select, for each node, which IP address is to be used for replication? AFAICT we use the host fqdn, which most probably resolves to the ovirtmgmt device. what is replication verb in the UI?

Am assuming that the live-rw filesystem is created at boot time from an image, and can't be modified short of building from source. Is that correct? It looks like perhaps what I want to do is install the ovirt-node packages onto my OS of choice (CentOS 6.4, currently.) Will do some reading and trying to see if that's possible. I see that it's documented on FC19 but would prefer to remain with CentOS. you don't need to install packages from node into centos, just point ovirt-engine add-host dialog to the host and it will bootstrap with all needed packages (assuming the target host has the relevant repo configured). to change something in the node you can build your own node as well Any tips are appreciated of course!

I am using nodes with Intel 10G network cards. The driver for these cards has been tweaked to complain (and fail to start the interface) if a non-Intel approved optical transceiver is in use. It's easy to override with the following options: ixgbe.allow_unsupported_sfp=1 The usual ways of doing this are either to place it on the kernel command line at boot time, or in /etc/modprobe.d/ixgbe.conf where it would read options ixgbe allow_unsupported_sfp=1. Unfortunately I have no idea how to make either of these permanent on an oVirt node. I'm running the ovirt-node-iso-3.0.1-1.0.2.vdsm.el6.iso image. It has an /etc/modprobe.d directory where changes do not persist across reboots. It also has /config/etc where I've added modprobe.d and modprobe.d/ixgbe.conf. By adding this file to /config/files, I've been able to make it appear in /etc/modprobe.d at boot time. This has no effect. It appears to take place after the ixgbe driver has already been started. If I rmmod ixgbe and modprobe ixgbe manually, it works fine. So the general question is, how do I make configuration changes which persist across reboots? Surely others have run into the same situation when trying to support specific devices. Thanks, Allen Belletti AVP Ed.

Re: [Users] Quota for VMs created from templates
Good question, Mitja. @Gilad: 1. Does the 'VmCreator' Role contain the 'consume-quota' action? so when granting VmCreator on Data Center DC1 to user User1, User1 can automatically consume any quota defined in DC1 (including, for example, TemplateQuota, in Mitja's case)? 2. Related to both your previous reply and my previous reply: Can a user associate a CPU/RAM Quota to a VM that he is now *creating*, even if he doesn't have consume-quota permissions on that CPU/RAM Quota? In Mitja's case, he attempted to create a VM associated with both TemplateQuota and UserQuota, while the user (maybe - depends on answer to 1) didn't have permission to consume TemplateQuota, and the VM creation succeeded. Is that OK?

Re: [Users] VM wont restart after some NFS snapshot restore.
Usman, the only thing that comes to my mind is something related to: http://gerrit.ovirt.org/13529 which means that in some way the restored volumes are either inaccessible (permissions?) or their metadata is corrupted (but it doesn't seem so). There is probably another Traceback in the logs that should give us more information. Could you post somewhere the entire vdsm log?

Re: [Users] Understanding Console Options
I can appreciate the .vv file for certain platforms in which virt-viewer provides additional benefits, but my point was I (and I suspect at least some other) use existing VNC clients in Mac/Windows/Linux, and perhaps don't want to use virt-viewer. In those cases, that the download .vv file method is more needlessly cumbersome as compared to the popup with host/port/password method, whether it involves writing a wrapper, or just open the downloaded text file. As I said, perhaps instead of the two console options scheme currently, it should be a three console option scheme with VNC, virt-viewer, SPICE, because the download .vv file method is not at all (generic) VNC clients friendly.

[Users] Adding ISO storage, post engine install - is it possible?
I've set up the oVirt engine, v. 3.3.0-4.el6, on a CentOS 6.4 system. I was hoping to use an existing ISO repository on my network, that's NFS-shared for other hypervisors (Xen, ESX), but it doesn't look like oVirt is designed to support that. That's not too much of an obstacle, I can recreate the ISO store on my oVirt engine. However, I didn't create an ISO storage domain during the engine setup sequence. I don't really see a way to do this now. I've tried using the Import Domain feature in the engine web admin, but that tells me Failed to retrieve existing storage domain information. I've tried using the New Domain with ISO/NFS settings, but when I click OK, nothing happens. No errors, the New Domain window stays in place, no visible changes. Any suggestions on adding an ISO storage domain, after the initial oVirt install? platformagnostic ___ Users mailing list Users@ovirt.org http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users

The previous solution was good in that it just presents the password, which I can copy/paste into Screen Sharing; Have you tried SPICE with http://www.spice-space.org/page/OSX_Client ? Have you tried noVNC support new in 3.3? 2. the problem with downloading a file is that I have to open it (with yet another application), and delete the file afterwards. indeed, that's not very convenient :-/ Again, I'm not even saying the .vv file does not have benefits or that the option should not be there, as I'm sure those that use virt-viewer can enjoy it. But not everyone uses virt-viewer, and not all popular VNC viewer supports file inputs. well, the file contains all the info needed for connection so with a simple wrapper every single VNC client which accepts a host/pwd on cmdline will work just fine. regarding your favorite app, there seems to be way how to open it without asking for anything, see http://superuser.com/questions/217425/is-there-a-way-to-launch-screensharing-from-the-terminal so how about writing a simple bash wrapper to parse out the hostpassword and launch open vnc://user@pass:server:port ?
