The problem is that I put the [ovirt-3.5-pre] name=Latest oVirt 3.5 pre release baseurl=http://resources.ovirt.org/pub/ovirt-3.5-pre/rpm/el$releasever enabled=1 skip_if_unavailable=1 gpgcheck=1 in my yum.repos.d\ovirt-3.5.repo file... which I did as per the release notes, but maybe I shouldn't do this on the nodes. Struggling a bit with releases and version and things. I was only trying 3.5 RC as it may fix a problem I encountered when trying to bond two interfaces...

Re: [ovirt-users] bonding interfaces
Hi, no network manager... I have been sort of doing what you describe. I create my first interface manually with a minimum configuration (when I was first testing ovirt, I was using trunked ports and vlans, so had to do all that manually) then add the host to ovirt-engine and it did it's magic and bonded interfaces for me.. I'm going to try a later release I think as it seems there may have been a bug like this in 3.5.1.

[ovirt-users] iSCSI interface to GlusterFS cluster
Hi, Not sure if this can be done using ovirt engine or if I have to do this more at the GlusterFS command level. I have set up a Gluster enabled Cluster with a Volume which is working fine I can mount it using the filesystem thype glusterfs. While I am going to test this with Ovirt and VMs eventually. I am currently exploring using the cluster as an iSCSI target and if that is possible to configure thru ovirt or if I now need to work more at the Gluster command level and don't get to use the nice UI to configure this.

I may have created the partition before I pushed the gluster install to it from the ovirt-engine? And does that install multipathd and it is now grabbing my devices?

You do need to create the export. Here are the steps we noted from our build.
I’ll try and find where we got some of the build ideas from.

Re: [ovirt-users] ovirt and glusterfs setup
thanks for all the replies on this… very enlightening. I’ve got a few servers that I am going to deploy with – some dell 2950s and luckily they came out of production recently and all have dual 10Gb cards in them. I’m not sure what they have for local storage yet, so may need to beef that up, but I think it’s going to be a good base lab. I am not planning on anything production, just want to get ahead of the game and this is pretty much just proof of concept at this stage – maybe in a years time or so, once Redhat have certified it, if they do… Thanks Bill From: Darrell Budic Date: Wednesday, February 18, 2015 at 9:51 PM To: Donny D Cc: users@ovirt.orgmailto:users@ovirt.org Subject: Re: [ovirt-users] ovirt and glusterfs setup you ___ Users mailing list Users@ovirt.org http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users
[ovirt-users] ovirt and glusterfs setup
Hi, I'm in at the deep end... Looking for some advice on if this is possible - and what version I should try I with if so. We are a heavily VMware oriented company... but I am trying to get RHEV/oVirt in the door. Honestly I would prefer oVirt, but if they insist on enterprise support I go to Redhat. So I have had a play with VMware VSAN and know how it works. I am trying to more or less replicate this setup using open source. So VSAN uses 3 or more ESXi nodes, with local harddisks as the storage medium as a virtual SAN. The SAN performance is quite high as you put at least 1 SSD in each node. What is nice is you don't have the NAS element here. VMs are on the local storage, which is partially SSD, so performance is quite good. I went to a Redhat presentation on Redhat storage and GlusterFS and basically this acts as a big software defined NAS which does some pretty cool things, but that's not exactly what I need. I would like to build oVirt on top of CentOS Oss... that have local storage in them that is distributed and redundant in the event of a node failure. And I probably need to try and build this in a lab under Fusion on my Mac Book pro to begin with anyway (that bit I'm farily confident with) and if I get that working can probably get some older kit to try it out for real as a PoC to few people.

[ovirt-users] FW: ovirt and glusterfs setup
Sorry, forgot to copyall... From: Bill Dossett s Sent: 18 February 2015 17:37 To: 'Donny Davis' Subject: RE: [ovirt-users] ovirt and glusterfs setup Well, it seems to be something that RedHat were saying was going to be supported. I am far more familiar with VMware VSAN and that is current a VERY hot topic. With VMware HA and VSAN capabilities and new chassis coming out with very high density drive capabilities and the correct number of nodes, you can lose a node with no more downtime than if compute and storage are separated and it's a helluva lot less expensive than traditional Fibre SAN. Saying that it is in it's infancy. I'm interested in your ovirt deployment - thanks for the kind offer - but very short on time as well as this is a side project - so this may move at a snails pace... so I thought I could get started on my own. I think I instaslled ovirt 3.2 previously... and I did see mention of Gluster Domains. If you let me know what I need to do to have a look at your deployment I would appreciate it. I may be slow at responding though as I am spread very thin right now. Thanks Bill From: Donny Davis [mailto:do...@cloudspin.me] Sent: 18 February 2015 13:30 To: Bill Dossett Subject: RE: [ovirt-users] ovirt and glusterfs setup I can tell you from my experience that you should have your storage and compute node separate. Gluster support is built into ovirt, and you just need to make sure when setting up your engine you tell it to be [both] The architecture you describe whether it be vmware or ovirt is destined to be a disaster. That is my matter of opinion based on my experience. I have a free to use ovirt deployment that you could run your desired setup on.

Looking for some advice on if this is possible - and what version I should try I with if so. We are a heavily VMware oriented company... but I am trying to get RHEV/oVirt in the door. Honestly I would prefer oVirt, but if they insist on enterprise support I go to Redhat. So I have had a play with VMware VSAN and know how it works. I am trying to more or less replicate this setup using open source. So VSAN uses 3 or more ESXi nodes, with local harddisks as the storage medium as a virtual SAN. The SAN performance is quite high as you put at least 1 SSD in each node. What is nice is you don't have the NAS element here. VMs are on the local storage, which is partially SSD, so performance is quite good. I went to a Redhat presentation on Redhat storage and GlusterFS and basically this acts as a big software defined NAS which does some pretty cool things, but that's not exactly what I need. I would like to build oVirt on top of CentOS Oss... that have local storage in them that is distributed and redundant in the event of a node failure. And I probably need to try and build this in a lab under Fusion on my Mac Book pro to begin with anyway (that bit I'm farily confident with) and if I get that working can probably get some older kit to try it out for real as a PoC to few people.

[ovirt-users] vmware type functionality
Hi, I am trying to work out how to do some things that I do in VMware pretty regularly. a.Browse a datastore to see what is on it (from the GUI) b.

[ovirt-users] overt viewer on mac osx
Hi, I got pretty excited when I found out there was a girt-viewer for mac… if this would work, it means I could manange my ovirt stack from my mac without having to login to my windows VDI. I have downloaded and installed per the instructions - and then downloaded the console.vv file and run the command line to start the viewer with the console.vv - the first time it popped up and then said that spice needed authentication… tried my virt-engine password that didn’t work, hit cancel and it shut down. Tried it again and now it just says it can’t determine the connection type from uri and I have to quit. I am running OSX 10.9.4 and apparently this has only been tested on 10.9.1… hoping there is a fix to make this work, or am I doing something wrong? The command I am using is /Applications/RemoteViewer.app/Contents/MacOS/RemoteViewer Downloads/console.vv and the console.vv is indeed in the Downloads dir off my home dir.

[ovirt-users] question on VM
Hi, I am creating my first ovirt VM from a windows 2008 R2 iso. After setting it all up, loading the drivers etc it looks fine, but it seems like it has no network connectivity. This is odd as it is obtaining a DHCP address and it looks like it can browse for other windows systems on the network. But I can't ping it, it can't ping out and I can't remote desktop into it. Normally this sounds like a firewall problem, but I disabled that immediately. It is using the virtio driver. It is connected to the default network ovirtmgmt which has a dhcp server on it. Ovirt-engine says the interface is up and connected and windows thinks it is connected to an unknown network with out internet access. I can't ping the default gateway from the VM console. Seems silly, but I've kind of run out of things to try on this now. I am using VLAN tagging on the ovirt-engine network side of things and it is plugged into a trunked port... but I wouldn't think that has anything to do with the VM itself as I am not doing anything with VLANs on the VM itself, it is just connected to it. All the host network/interfaces are pingable in the cluster as well. Thanks if anyone has any ideas what I might be looking for.

Re: [ovirt-users] Fwd: RE: FC QLogic question
Hi,
Sorry, I got waylaid at the end of yesterday - catching up... (sorry for
length of thread now as well, but would like to get to the bottom of this)
Have seen posts about ovirt-node... I personally like the idea and hope that it
continues to develop. Having to load a Linux distro up and then put ovirt
hypervisor on it is more work and then you need to worry about upgrading the
linux distro and ovirt and suddenly ovirt doesn't run on the distro you have
and you start over. IMHO anyway.
All of the LUN names are listed in /dev/mapper
/etc/multipath.conf is thus
# RHEV REVISION 1.0
defaults {
polling_interval5
getuid_callout /sbin/scsi_id --whitelisted --replace-whitespace
--device=/dev/%n
no_path_retry fail
user_friendly_names no
flush_on_last_del yes
fast_io_fail_tmo5
dev_loss_tmo30
max_fds 4096
}
devices {
device {
vendor HITACHI
product DF.*
getuid_callout /sbin/scsi_id --whitelisted --replace-whitespace
--device=/dev/%n
}
device {
vendor COMPELNT
product Compellent Vol
no_path_retry fail
}
}
But on the multipath -ll round robin is enabled...
I can't see how the firmware missing can be a problem if all my disks are
appearing on node. Some cards don't need to be flashed, they can be if needed
but if my LUNs are appearing, then I assume it is working.
Sorry, I am very new to node and not much experience with FC under Linux, so
trying to get up to speed on commands...
Which ovirt am Iusing? Not sure what you want back, uname -a yields
2.6.32-431.3.1.el6.x86_6
The iso I used is ovirt-node-iso-3.4-20140423.0.el6.iso from the
releases/stable/iso folder - I am fairly sure, there are two ISOs there.
Unfortunately I am not in the office today and can't get to the desktop where I
burned the ISOs from...
Thanks
Bill

Hello Fabian,
indeed this was my mistake; while typing the mail I was reading on
the spice website - so qla is the correct module of course! I
already replied this to Bill but forgot to cc the list also ...
Also, for the node iso it would make little sense to have the qlx
module loaded. For completeness, I attach my answer to Bill.
Thanks :)
So to summarize:
The adapter is recognized on Node?
But it does not show up in Engine?
Bill has to tell, but I think so. I suggested to him this might be
Ah, I mixed you an Bill up in the thread.
because of dm-multipath, multipath.conf might blacklist here. My nodes
are plain EL6 and I have multipath enabled - but I do not know if
ovirt-node filters for dm-mp devnodes only by default (this would make
sense because of iscsi-multipathing in ovirt 3.4).
Well, we did some multipath changes lately. Let#s see what Bill says:
Bill,
what node are you using?
What does multipath -l say?
How does /dev/mapper/* and /dev/multipath.conf look like?
And is the disk appearing on Node and/or Engine?

Re: [ovirt-users] FC QLogic question
I'm guessing my problems are to do with using the ovirt node hypervisor install from the ovirt web site to boot and configure from. I'm going to download CentOS 6.5 and setup that up and then put ovirt on top of it. I have used CentOS on these systems before and they were fine using the FC SAN. I get the feeling that NFS and iSCSI support is probably fine, but I the FC support may not be so good, well that's my guess anyway.

[ovirt-users] Fwd: FC QLogic question
Hi Daniel, I did a lsmod | grep qxl and it returned nothing... did you perhaps mean qla? [root@ovirt141 ~]# lsmod | grep qla qla2xxx 466573 56 I think that is the one lsscsi does list all of the LUNs... so that's working! But nothing in ovirt engine when I try to add a storage domain. Thanks again, I guess I will try and get a bit further with the installs I have...

Never mind! I was wondering and thought the message may be irrelevant. But yes, it doesn't appear to be working. When I try to add a FC storage domain, no hosts are showing in the drop down box of hosts. I have loaded the latests ovirtnode (3.4.something.) on two hosts now and neither are working. Lets first try to isolate your FC issure. So you are using the latest ovirt-node? EL6? Keep in mind, the kernel is standard Linux and therefore should support Qlogic adapters out of the box (IMHO they are the best supported HBAs in Linux). Please try a: # lsmod | grep qxl to see whatever the qxl module is loaded. Keep in mind you can run into problems with other conrollers in your host, though I only had this with LSI SAS / FC controllers so far. Further check on the FC switch if the N port is logged in and the zoning is correct. Finally, check with # lsscsi if you can see the luns. Also having a lot of issues with configuring the network. I configure an interface I can ping it, but it shows as unconfigured. on one host I have added it to the manager and I see the interfaces anyway, but on the second host I configure the eth0, I can ping it, it added to the ovirt engine but it shows no NICs. Should I be using an earlier version maybe? thanks again and best regards. *Bill Dossett* *Virtualisation Architect* *Pitney Bowes - Tech Central*** 6 Hercules Way, 600 Leavesden Park Watford, WD25 7GS Phone(+44) (0)1923 279353 | VOIP: 54739353 Mobile(+44) (0)7775 908612 bill.doss...@pb.com mailto:bill.doss...@pb.com www.pb.com http://www.pb.com/ *In Engineering?**Raise a ticket via Remedy Anywhere [HERE http://teamsite.inside.pb.com/sites/TCPPM/GES/Lists/Create%20Incident /newIncident.aspx]takes less than a minute* *ManageIQ User Guide available* [*HERE https://dl.dropbox.com/u/6219441/ManageIQ%20-%20User%20Manual%20PB%20 v4.pdf*] *Check out the ManageIQ Blog for recent enhancements and information [HERE] http://teamsite.inside.pb.com/sites/TCPPM/GES/manageiq/default.aspx* On Sep 11, 2014, at 10:52 AM, Daniel Helgenberger daniel.helgenber...@m-box.de mailto:daniel.helgenber...@m-box.de wrote: Hello Bill, what are your problems acually? Is fibre channel not working (as expected)? The log snippet you provided is completly normal and the messages can safely be ignored. This is also unrelated to oVirt but rather CentOS (or the distro you are running) I suppose. Cheers!

[ovirt-users] Question on network and boding I think!
Hi - I am a complete newb at Ovirt, but have setup my Ovirt manager and a host and connected them together. I am basically looking to replicate in my lab with Ovirt what a simple VMware installation is doing. I would like a single network or in vmware terms a vswitch, with two network cards in the node, both connected to trunked ports so that I can create port groups with different vlans, one for management, and one for VMs and possibly a DMZ vlan. I have tried bonding the network interfaces, but there is also a bridge option and I don't know what that does. I have read the ovirt docs on bonded interfaces and they are a little bit terse to actually get me started on this. If there is a better guide, or simple explanation to get me over this hurdle I would appreciate it. Sorry for all the vmware terms as well, but I have worked with vmware for many years and it's the only virtual environment I know really well - but with their pricing models, I really need to start looking around now! Thanks very much!

Re: [ovirt-users] Question on network and boding I think!
Hi, thanks for the response.. I have only worked with the GUI on the host so far, but I am will watch this and also the previous posters pointer - I will obviously have to start working with the hosts and config files sooner or later and I have worked with Linux for many years, so should be too hard to get rolling, thanks again. -Original Message- From: Itamar Heim [mailto:ih...@redhat.com] Sent: 10 September 2014 11:40 To: Bill Dossett; users@ovirt.org Subject: Re: [ovirt-users] Question on network and boding I think!
