Perhaps another wording? "Delete" vs. "Remove"?

Re: [ovirt-users] Delete disk references without deleting the disk

[Johan Kooijman]

One weird thing though: when I try to remove the VM itself, it won't let me
uncheck the "Remove disks" checkbox.

Re: [ovirt-users] [3.6] User can't create a VM. No permission for EDIT_ADMIN_VM_PROPERTIES

[Maksim Naumov]

CPU pinning topology is also not used in this template. And even there is
no settings in the user interface to change it.

So, currently no one user is able to create new VM.

[ovirt-users] ovirt-engine-sdk-python too slow

[John Hunter]

Hi guys,

I am using the ovirt-engine-sdk-python to communicate with the ovirt-engine,
I am ok to list the vms but the processing time is too long, like 4.5
seconds,
and this line:
from ovirtsdk.api import API
take almost 3 seconds.

This seems a little bit longer than I expected it to be, so I am asking is
there
a quicker way to communicate with the ovirt-engine?

Seems to me as a bug 
Can you please open a bug, attach all relevant logs and also fully describe the 
template that you attempt to use to create the VM?

That is because that there are snapshots for the disks, you can remove the 
snapshots and then you could
leave your disks. Currently oVirt doesn't support snapshots for floating disks.

Re: [ovirt-users] Delete disk references without deleting the disk

Ok. Any way to do it without? Because with snapshot deletion I end up with
the same issue - I can't remove images form my storage.

I don't think you need care about it, because its real value calculates
via internal algorithms. Generally it depends on your workload. if you
have VM's that do a lot of random writes try to set recsize to equal or
greater value of guest file system block size.

Did you read this white paper? It might help you.

for students and teachers, so each has access to one machine in the 
pool. Thus, each of them is granted the UserRole in the pool. Now the 
teacher is asking us to allow him access to all students' VMs via the 
Web GUI to evaluate their work.

Is there a permission to accomplish that? In worst of cases I will 
detach the VMs from the pool and grant the teacher the UserRole on each 
of them, but I'd like to know if there's a "cleaner" way.

Thanks.

Regards,

Nicolás

[ovirt-users] Highly Available in 3.6 and USB support

[jaumotte, styve]

Hi everybody,

After testing some features on 3.5, we are planning to finaly go to 3.6. Some 
problems still exist.

A major problem still remain on the < Highly Available > option on vm wich 
doesn't work. I had a cluster with 4 engines and a simple vm. When I start a 
poweroff from the node where this vm is living, the node is shutting down but 
my vm doesn't restart on another node of the cluster. The power managment of 
all the node are correctly configure. The HA feature of then hosted-engine is 
working well (except it is very long).

Another problem consist of passing usb host device to the virtual machine. 
We've got some specials usb keys for activating old application and we need to 
attach this key to vm. At first, I try with standard usb mass storage key to 
test this approach. I can't start virtual machine when I add usb device, I 
always have the message < The host ... did not satisfy internal filter 
HostDevice because it does not support host device passthrough >. Have any idea 
where I can find an HowTo to help me ?

Tanks for your help,

SJ

HA capability for the engine is provided by the HA agents running on each
hosted-engine host. HA capability for other VMs is provided by the engine
only if specifically enabled.
Can you please attach engine logs relative to that issue?

Do you have a fencing agent configured for your host? It is configureable
under 'Edit Host'->'Power Management'. If there is no fencing agent
configured, the engine can not make sure that the host is really off when
it is non responsive. To avoid disk corruptions without a fencing agent, it
does nothing. You can find more about HA here [1]. About fencing here [2].

Glad to hear that this is working. Regarding the (sometimes long)
downtimes, you can find some numbers here [3].

Oh I missed that. When that is configured correctly, as @Simone already
said, the logs would be great.

[ovirt-users] Failed to create live snapshot

[mots]

Hello,

I'm getting the following error when I try to create a snapshot of one VM. 
Snapshots of all other VMs work as expected. I'm using oVirt 3.5 on Centos 7.

>Failed to create live snapshot 'fsbu3' for VM 'Odoo'. VM restart is 
>recommended. Note that using the created snapshot might cause data 
>inconsistency.

I think this is the relevant part of vdsm.log, what strikes me as odd is the 
line:
>Thread-1192052::ERROR::2015-11-23 17:18:20,532::vm::4355::vm.Vm::(snapshot) 
>vmId=`581cebb3-7729-4c29-b98c-f9e04aa2fdd0`::The base volume doesn't exist:

The part "The base volume doesn't exist" seems interesting.

Also interesting is that it does create a snapshot, though I don't know if that 
snapshot is missing data.

[ovirt-users] FOSDEM16 Virt & IaaS Devroom CFP Extension, Speaker Mentoring, CoC

[Mikey Ariel]

The CFP for the Virtualization & IaaS devroom at FOSDEM 2016 is in full 
swing, and we'd like to share a few updates with you:


-
Speaker Mentoring Program
-

As a part of the rising efforts to grow our communities and encourage a 
diverse and inclusive conference ecosystem, we're happy to announce that 
we'll be offering mentoring for newcomer speakers. Our mentors can help 
you with tasks such as reviewing your abstract, reviewing your 
presentation outline or slides, or practicing your talk with you.


You may apply to the mentoring program as a newcomer speaker if you:

* Never presented before or
* Presented only lightning talks or
* Presented full-length talks at small meetups (<50 ppl)

Submission guidelines:

* Mentored presentations will have 25-minute slots, where 20 minutes 
will include the presentation and 5 minutes will be reserved for questions.


* The number of newcomer session slots is limited, so we will probably 
not be able to accept all applications.


* You must submit your talk and abstract to apply for the mentoring 
program, our mentors are volunteering their time and will happily 
provide feedback but won't write your presentation for you! If you are 
experiencing problems with Pentabarf, the proposal submission interface, 
or have other questions, you can email iaas-virt-devroom at 
lists.fosdem.org and we will try to help you.


How to apply:

* Follow the same procedure to submit an abstract in Pentabarf as 
standard sessions. Instructions can be found in our original CFP 
announcement: 
http://community.redhat.com/blog/2015/10/call-for-proposals-fosdem16-virtualization-iaas-devroom/


* In addition to agreeing to video recording and confirming that you can 
attend FOSDEM in case your session is accepted, please write "speaker 
mentoring program application" in the "Submission notes" field, and list 
any prior speaking experience or other relevant information for your 
application.

[ovirt-users] How to add faster NIC to oVirt cluser / host?

[Christophe TREFOIS]

Dear all,

I have currently a data center with two clusters and each cluster had 1 host.

On one of the hosts, I now enabled 10 GbE NIC called p4p1. Currently everything 
is going over a 1 GbE NIC called em1 (ovirtmgmt).

My question now is, how I could add my 10 GbE NIC to the setup for instance to 
use for transferring data during transmissions to export domain or to simply 
replace the 1 GbE?

I prefer little downtime (eg only temp network loss), but a full downtime 
(shutting down) could be acceptable.

Thank you for any pointers or starting points you could provide,

Kind regards,

[ovirt-users] What is a data center with local storage?

[Christophe TREFOIS]

Hi,

When creating a new data center, in oVirt 3.5 there is the options to have 
“local” or “shared” storage types.

Is there any resource out there that explains the difference between the two? 
The official doc does not really help there.

My current understanding is as follows:

In shared mode, I can create data domains that are shared between hosts in a 
same data center, eg NFS, iSCSI etc.
In lcoal mode, I can only create data domains locally, but I can “import” an 
existing iSCSI or Export domain to move VMs (with downtime) between data 
centers.

1. Is this correct or am I missing something here?
2. What would be the reason to go for a “local” storage type cluster? 

Thank you very much for helping out a newcomer :)
Kind regards,

[ovirt-users] One RHEV Virtual Machine does not Automatically Resume following Compellent SAN Controller Failover

[Duckworth, Douglas C]

Hello --

Not sure if y'all can help with this issue we've been seeing with RHEV...

On 11/13/2015, during Code Upgrade of Compellent SAN at our Disaster
Recovery Site, we Failed Over to Secondary SAN Controller.  Most Virtual
Machines in our DR Cluster Resumed automatically after Pausing except VM
"BADVM" on Host "BADHOST."

In Engine.log you can see that BADVM was sent into "VM_PAUSED_EIO" state
at 10:47:57:

"VM BADVM has paused due to storage I/O problem."

On this Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization Hypervisor 6.6
(20150512.0.el6ev) Host, two other VMs paused but then automatically
resumed without System Administrator intervention...

In our DR Cluster, 22 VMs also resumed automatically...

None of these Guest VMs are engaged in high I/O as these are DR site VMs
not currently doing anything.

We sent this information to Dell.  Their response:

"The root cause may reside within your virtualization solution, not the
parent OS (RHEV-Hypervisor disc) or Storage (Dell Compellent.)"

We are doing this Failover again on Sunday November 29th so we would
like to know how to mitigate this issue, given we have to manually
resume paused VMs that don't resume automatically.

Before we initiated SAN Controller Failover, all iSCSI paths to Targets
were present on Host tulhv2p03.

VM logs on Host show in /var/log/libvirt/qemu/badhost.log that Storage
error was reported:

block I/O error in device 'drive-virtio-disk0': Input/output error (5)
block I/O error in device 'drive-virtio-disk0': Input/output error (5)
block I/O error in device 'drive-virtio-disk0': Input/output error (5)
block I/O error in device 'drive-virtio-disk0': Input/output error (5)

All disks used by this Guest VM are provided by single Storage Domain
COM_3TB4_DR with serial "270."  In syslog we do see that all paths for
that Storage Domain Failed:

Nov 13 16:47:40 multipathd: 36000d310005caf000270: remaining
active paths: 0

Though these recovered later:

Nov 13 16:59:17 multipathd: 36000d310005caf000270: sdbg -
tur checker reports path is up
Nov 13 16:59:17 multipathd: 36000d310005caf000270: remaining
active paths: 8

Does anyone have an idea of why the VM would fail to automatically
resume if the iSCSI paths used by its Storage Domain recovered?

Thanks
Doug

[ovirt-users] ovirt-hosted-engine-setup and single machine install

[Johan Vermeulen]

Hello All,

after configuring a first setup, based on the quick start guide, I'm now
looking
at the hosted-engine setup.
My question is: after I do the hosted-engine-setup, how do I setup vm's on
the same
machine that hosts the now-virtualized engine?

I was thinking of adding CIFS/NFSv4 functionality to an hyperconverged cluster 
(GlusterFS/oVirt) which would have separate volumes for virtual machines 
storage (one volume for the Engine and one for other vms, with no CIFS/NFSv4 
capabilities offered) and for data shares (directly accessible by clients on 
LAN and obviously from local vms too).

Think of it as a 3-node HA NetApp+VMware killer ;-)

The UI idea (but that would be the Engine part, I understand) was along the 
lines of single-check enabling CIFS and/or NFSv4 sharing for a GlusterFS data 
volume, then optionally adding any further specific options (hosts allowed, 
users/groups for read/write access, network recycle_bin etc.); global Samba 
(domain/workgroup membership etc.) and CTDB (IPs/interfaces) configuration 
parameters would be needed too.

I have no experience on a GaneshaNFS clustered/HA configuration with GlusterFS, 
but (from superficial skimming through docs) it seems that it was not possible 
at all before 2.2 and now it needs a full Pacemaker/Corosync setup too 
(contrary to the IBM-GPFS-backed case), so that could be a problem.

This VDSM wishlist item was driven by the idea that all actions (and so future 
GlusterFS/Samba/CTDB too) performed by the Engine through the hosts/nodes were 
somehow "mediated" by VDSM and its API, but if this is not the case, then I 
retire my suggestion here and I will try to pursue it only on the Engine/Node 
side ;)

Many thanks for your attention.

Giuseppe

[ovirt-users] oVirt 4.0 wishlist: oVirt Self Hosted Engine Setup

[Giuseppe Ragusa]

Hi all,
I go on with my wishlist, derived from both solitary mumblings and community 
talks at the the first Italian oVirt Meetup.

I offer to help in coding (work/family schedules permitting) but keep in mind 
that I'm a sysadmin with mainly C and bash-scripting skills (but hoping to 
improve my less-than-newbie Python too...)

I've sent separate wishlist messages for oVirt Node, oVirt Engine and VDSM.

oVirt Self Hosted Engine Setup:

*) allow virtual hardware customizations for locally-created Engine vm, 
specifically: allow to add an arbitrary number of NICs (asking for MAC address 
and local bridge to connect to) and maybe also an arbitrary number of disks 
(asking for size) as these seem to be the only/most_useful items missing; maybe 
the prebuilt appliance image too may be inspected by setup to detect a 
customized one and connect any further NICs to custom local bridges (which the 
user should be asked for)

Regards,
Giuseppe

I went on and unfortunately "net_persistence = ifcfg" in /etc/vdsm/vdsm.conf 
and restarting VDSM on the host did not solve it (same error as before).

While trying (always without success) all other steps suggested by Simone 
(binding logical network and synchronizing networks from host) I found an 
interesting-looking libvirt network definition (autostart too) for 
vdsm-ovirtmgmt and this recalled some memories from past mailing list messages 
(that I still cannot find...) ;)

Long story short: aborting setup, cleaning up all and creating a libvirt 
network for each pre-provisioned bridge worked! ("net_persistence = ifcfg" has 
been kept for other, client-specific, reasons so I don't know if it's needed 
too)
Here it is, in BASH form:

for my_bridge in ovirtmgmt bridge1 bridge2; do
cat <<- EOM > /root/my-${my_bridge}.xml

  vdsm-${my_bridge}
  
  

EOM
virsh -c qemu:///system net-define /root/my-${my_bridge}.xml
virsh -c qemu:///system net-autostart vdsm-${my_bridge}
rm -f /root/my-${my_bridge}.xml
done

I was able to connect (with the "virsh" commands above) to libvirtd (which must 
be running for the above to work) by removing the VDSM-added config fragment, 
allowing tcp connections and denying TLS-only connections in 
/etc/libvirt/libvirtd.conf and finally by removing /etc/sasl2/libvirt.conf (all 
these modifications must be reverted after configuring networks then stopping 
libvirtd and before relaunching setup).

Many thanks again for suggestions, hints etc.

Giuseppe

Re: [ovirt-users] Failed to create live snapshot

[Arman Khalatyan]

What kind of storage are you using??
I had similar trouble with iscsi storage.
The workaround was to delete some bad symlinks in /rvem/data-center
The following steps are used to fix missing devices on the hosts:
Host->maintenance
On host rm -rf /rvem/data-center
yum reinstall vdsm
It will generate folder structure in /rvem
Before this backup your data. Maybe you hit another bug.
Good luck,
Arman
Hello,

I'm getting the following error when I try to create a snapshot of one VM.
Snapshots of all other VMs work as expected. I'm using oVirt 3.5 on Centos
7.

>Failed to create live snapshot 'fsbu3' for VM 'Odoo'. VM restart is
recommended. Note that using the created snapshot might cause data
inconsistency.

I think this is the relevant part of vdsm.log, what strikes me as odd is
the line:
>Thread-1192052::ERROR::2015-11-23
17:18:20,532::vm::4355::vm.Vm::(snapshot)
vmId=`581cebb3-7729-4c29-b98c-f9e04aa2fdd0`::The base volume doesn't exist:
{'device': 'disk', 'domainID': 'b4e7425a-53c7-40d4-befc-ea36ed7891fc',
'volumeID': '9a7fc7e0-60fc-4f67-9f97-2de4bc08f0a7', 'imageID':
'dfa1d0bf-a1f6-45bb-9574-ab020c0e8c9d'}
The part "The base volume doesn't exist" seems interesting.

Also interesting is that it does create a snapshot, though I don't know if
that snapshot is missing data.
