[ovirt-users] Distribute collection of VMs

[Fredrik Olofsson]

We currently use an OVA-file for Virtualbox to distribute a collection of
VMs to our customers. We would like to also support customers using oVirt.
Our VMs work if we convert the disk images to qcow2 and manually configure
the VMs. Specifically the network interface connections needs to be
configured. Is it possible to automatically import the OVA file (from the
many threads here I guess not..)?

What is the preferred method to distribute a collection of VMs for use in
oVirt?

Best regards

Re: [ovirt-users] oVirt Engine Default Web Page - Broken Link "Console Client Resources"

[Jan Siml]

Hello Daniel,


I just noticed that the default web page for oVirt engine
(http:///ovirt-engine/)
, at least for version 4.0.5, now
has a broken link:

Console Client Resources



as I saw on infra@ it is already addressed:

https://ovirt-jira.atlassian.net/browse/OVIRT-1085

[ovirt-users] oVirt Engine Default Web Page - Broken Link "Console Client Resources"

[Beckman, Daniel]

I just noticed that the default web page for oVirt engine 
(http:///ovirt-engine/), at 
least for version 4.0.5, now has a broken link:

Console Client 
Resources

Is this true of 4.06 or was it fixed? What about 4.1? Can someone who’s 
upgraded to those versions check?

Thanks,
Daniel

Re: [ovirt-users] [ANN] oVirt 4.1.0 First Release Candidate is now available

[Beckman, Daniel]

I added a comment to this bug:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1416579

In summary, the test build works great and addressed both bugs!

Daniel already filed two bugs:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/1416533
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/1416579

I CCed on them Christophe, the maintainer of spice-nsis, on which
ovirt-wgt is based, and he very quickly posted a patch to spice-devel.

I pushed the patch also to our gerrit, so jenkins will do a test build:

https://gerrit.ovirt.org/71226

http://jenkins.ovirt.org/job/ovirt-wgt_master_create-rpms-fc24-x86_64_created/22/

Daniel, can you please try the test build and report whether it works
for you? Thanks!
Also asked you on one of the bugs. Feel free to reply wherever is most
convenient.

Best,

Re: [ovirt-users] Migrate hosted engine to a new storage domain

[Logan Kuhn]

I read through that and it makes sense.  It also said that moving the
hosted engine's storage was a 4.1 feature, but I didn't see it on the
release notes for RC 2.  Is it still planned for 4.1?  Do you have the BZ
handy so that I can track it?

[ovirt-users] Ovirt FQDN

[rightkicktech.gmail.com]

Hi all,

Is there any way to bypass the FQDN access requirement on ovirt 4? On previous 
versions I was able to access ovirt engine using IP. It is impractical to 
access with FQDN when doing remote port forwarding.

Thanx,
Alex

Re: [ovirt-users] safe to reboot ovirt-engine?

[Doug Ingham]

Make sure to enable global maintenance mode before doing so!

The Hosted-Engine is just a manager for the underlying hypervisors, which
will keep running the VMs as usual until the engine comes back online.
Disable maintenance mode afterwards.

Hi, 

A simple answer to this I'm sure, but is it safe to reboot the ovirt-engine 
while vms on the vm-hosts connected to it are running? Anything in particular

1. Setting global maintenance mode,
2. upgrading the engine on the engine VM as for a regular engine,
3. exit the global maintenance mode
4. upgrade the host (once at time!!!) from the engine

should be enough

Good question!

sadly there seems to be this bug (opened in May, 2015):

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1225425

The last statement there is:

"Moving this to 4.2 as libgfapi access is not available in 4.1"

I can't find the reason though, I remember vaguely that libvirt/qemu/kvm in
EL6 was not new enough to support libgfapi, but this should have changed
at least with centos 7.2 according to:
https://libvirt.org/storage.html

The tracking bug for ovirt seems to be this:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1022961

It looks like it needs quite some work :(

Re: [ovirt-users] [ANN] oVirt 4.1.0 First Release Candidate is now available

[Ralf Schenk]

Hello,

reading the Release notes at http://www.ovirt.org/release/4.1.0/ I see a
lot of changes regarding gluster, but I'm missing the most important
information:

Will oVirt 4.1.0 finally use libgfapi to access gluster based volumes or
are we still seeing FUSE based access.

This feature that was misleadingly already described years ago in many
blog-posts for me was really important to set up a cluster with oVirt
(3.6.x at the beginning). So I was really disappointed with FUSE access
that I got.

Bye

Hello Gianluca,
​
I found them at:

​
https://translate.zanata.org/webtrans/translate?project=ovirt=master=it=en-US=-1717#view:doc;projectsearch:Dismiss%20Alert;projectsearchin:both;doc:frontend/webadmin/modules/webadmin/src/main/resources/org/ovirt/engine/ui/webadmin/ApplicationConstants;search:Dismiss%20Alert;textflow:22217124

I usually use "Project-wide search and replace" feature which is accessible
by clicking the magnifying glass icon on the top right of the editor. It
shows the search result across the all files within the project. You can
then click "Search document in editor" to open the particular string in the
file to edit.

Once you go into the editor, you may also want to check the details of the
English source string by expanding the line which starts with a star
symbol, then check the resource ID.

One thing I like about oVirt project is that those resource IDs give us a
hint how/where the string is used.
For example, the string "Display All" has the Resource ID
"displayAllDismissedAlerts", so you know that it is the right one for you
to edit.

For this particular strings, there is another one with the Resource ID
"displayAllDismissedEvents" but that must be used for "Events" tab, instead
of "Alerts" tab.

Hope this can help.

Please note that you may find the same strings appear in several files. You
will need to edit all of them. (for example, one is used for User Portal,
another one is for Admin Portal)

If you are working on 4.0, the version you will need to edit is "ovirt-4.0"
as well as "master".
Translations in "master" version will be used for the oVirt 4.1.

You should notify the engineering team when you finished working.
Pulling translations from Zanata into the repo is a manual task, so unless
you ask the team, it will not be imported to the product. Particularly with
non-latest versions.

Kind regards,

Yuko

GFS2 is one example.

The main usecase is to allow users to use a clustered file system they
already have in their organization.

CephFS is also a viable option if you don't want to use Cinder, however
the performance and scalability will be lower than RBD, and the gateway
publishing the cephfs mounts will be a bottleneck.

I think RBD is the best option if you can manage the Cinder deployment
and upgrade required to support it.

We are talking for long time about real Ceph storage type, managing
Ceph directly without Cinder. However we never found the time to work
on this.

In the mean time I noticed that in the more external spice window I have
the option in "send key" list, to send also "Shift+F12".
This way I can exit from the inner spice console.
I don't know if I can configure a different mapping and if I have to do it
globally or per client/user.

[ovirt-users] Can't export VM's

[Peter Calum]

Hi,

I use oVirt Engine Version: 4.0.5.5-1.el7.centos

I have an export domain that i use for backup of the VM's with the
snapshot-clone-export method.
This have worked fine for a long time, but now i'm not able to export the
VM's.
I have tried to detach the export domain and attach it again with no luck.
I have attached a log where i first detach/attach the export domain and
then clone a snapshot which goes ok, and then export the cloned VM which
fails.

If i click on storage tab/ my export domain and click VM import tab the SPM
fails shortly,
see attached event1.log

Hope you can help.

I am familiar with OpenStack, but do not want to deploy parts of it. That's
why I want just to map rbd and use it like VMware uses mapped datastore:
create a file system on it and create a file like virtual block device per
VM, or even without file system at all just by using LVM.

This scenario is not far from iSCSI: we have mapped one block device (with
LVM on top) across all computes, oVirt agent manage volumes on that block
device, and agent manage also mapping themselves. My idea is to do mapping
block device by hand and all other process grant to oVirt.

I can see two cons:

I encountered the same problem some years ago, as we have multiple oVirt 
environnements.

We decided to assign specific MAC pools for each env to avoid overlapping.

BTW: before finding the problem related to the mac I found my documents
when I used qemu-kvm on CentOS 6.3 on the same hardware pieces and I had
similar problems (it was mid 2012) and in that case I had to set
tx-checksumming off for the interfaces where I had the bridges (managed by
libvirt).
I created an init script that did the setting at boot.
I have verified that by default my network interfaces in CentOS 7.3 start
with the parameter set to on. Of course changing the setting didn't solve
my problem because was mac related...
But Is there any reference about it and what would be the best setting and
why?

Thanks again in the mean time ;-)
