We need to inspect engine log, vdsm log, supervdsm.log, sanlock log,

If ovirt detect io problems it is probably because they are problems.

Can you file a bug and attach the logs?

Please run with this setting for couple of hours, maybe one day,

Re: [ovirt-users] Upgrade 3.6 to 4.0 and "ghost" incompatible cluster version

I'm trying to upgrade ovirt 3.6.3 to 4.0, but engine-setup complaints about

I see in the engine-setup log that  vds_groups table is checked to determine

versions: 3.3 and 3.6. Indeed, there is 2 clusters registered in the table:
"cluster-3.6" and "Default"

"Cluster-3.6" (version 3.6)  is the only cluster in DC in my ovirt setup.
"Default" (version 3.3)  should be a cluster that surely I deleted in a past 
upgrade.

Why a cluster named "Default" (with compatibility version 3.3) is still present
in vds_group table? Cluster "Default" isn't displayed anywhere in the web
interface.

It looks like a bug to me.  The cluster should be either missing in the
database or present in the web interface.

Could you please provide us more details about the problem?  It might
help us to investigate the issue if you could do the following:

- Install ovirt-engine-webadmin-portal-debuginfo package.
- Restart Engine.
- Go to the main Clusters tab.
- Refresh the page in your browser.
- Send us the parts of engine.log and ui.log corresponding to the
   refresh action.


Any clue to solve this issue?

As a workaround, if you are sure you don't have anything in Default
cluster, you may try to set compatibility_version to "3.6" for "Default"
cluster in vds_groups database table.

Hi Milan:


I solved the issue. I connected through ovirt-shell. The shell listed 
the two clusters and let me to delete the 3.3 "ghost" cluster.


I don't know why this cluster was visible by ovirt-shell but not by WebUI.

I migrated the engine from Centos 6 to Centos 7 in a new VM. I will try 
to install ovirt-engine-webadmin-portal-debuginfo in the old engine VM 
(I took a VM snapshot previously to delete the 3.3 cluster) and send

You can use clonezilla to migrate your physical server to an oVirt VM. 
Prepare a vm with a disk of the same size and configure as thin 
provision. Boot both servers with clonezilla and clone using the 
network. Clonezilla only copies the used block in your source disk. Note 
that you need to include some ide drivers in your source server before 
clone in order your Windows server can boot up[1]

Hello Everyone,

I did create the original BZ on this. In the mean time, lab system I
used is dismantled and the production system is yet to deploy.

As I wrote in BZ1147148 [1], I experienced two different issues. One,
one big mem leak of about 15MiB/h and a smaller one, ~300KiB. These seem
unrelated.

The larger leak was indeed related to SSL in some way; not necessarily
M2Crypto. However, after disabling SSL this was gone leaving the smaller
leak.

I did the same thing. In general, it seems to be a bad idea as it

engine does not like this very much.


I cannot believe that people say they don't have this issue.

This was hard for me to accept as well. I know of Markus Stockhausen and

special other service; though I started out with a minimal install of
Centos 6.

Can someone of the devs dive in maybe ?

I'm afraid that we are yet to find a solution for this issue, which is
completly different from the horrible leak of supervdsm < 4.16.7.

Could you corroborate the claim of
Bug 1147148 - M2Crypto usage in vdsm leaks memory
? Does the leak disappear once you start using plaintext transport?

Regards,
Dan.

I don’t think this is crypto related, but I could try that if you still need 
some confirmation (and point me at a quick doc on switching to plaintext?).

This is from #ovirt around November 18th I think, Saggi thought he’d found 
something related:

I do recall what is the issue Saggi and YamakasY were dicussing (CCing
the pair), or if it reached fruition as a patch. It is certainly
something other than Bug 1158108, as the latter speak about a leak in a
normal working state, with no getCapabilities calls.

I think that a more appropriate site would be the task tab. Migration is 
a task (not all time present) and differs of metrics as

Hi,

In my experience, having ovirt traffic on the same nic that gluster 
can make your platafrom unstable. I was using it for large file 
storage and gluster has so big traffic that ovirt got confused and 
started marking hosts as unavailable because of hi latency.
I've opened an RFE over a year ago, but had no luck with the team to 
get it done. In the RFE I was asking to have a way in the UI to decide 
which nic to use for gluster other than the MGMT net that is the one 
ovirt lets you use.
There's another way to do this and it's from outside ovirt. There you 
have to unregister and re register the bricks using gluster console 
commands. This way, when you register the bricks, you can specify the 
IP address of the spare NIC and then the traffic will not interfere 
with the mgmt.
There's a step that I don't recall much, but ovirt is going to need to 
know that the bricks are no longer is the mgmt IP, maybe someone else 
in the list can help with this. I can tell you that if you search the 
list you'll see my posts about this and the replys of those who helped

I think that the possibility to add a separate storage network is a 
must. It doesn't make sense Gluster support if you can't separate 
management network traffic of storage network traffic. In 3.5 you can 
define management/vm/display/migration interfaces but not storage 
interfaces.  Why? I don't know. But I think that Gluster support is 
incomplete without exclusive storage networking.

Yes, it is a bug, 3.5 introduces disk profiles, but a default profile 
isn't created at upgrade. You must create a default profile by storage 
domain. Go to Storage, Select a Storage Domain->Disk Profile Tab-> New, 
and create a new profile, i.e. "default" with QoS "unlimited". Now you 
can create new disk and attach to vm's.

So, a quick non-scientific poll...

Motivation: It has been suggested that adding ubuntu or debian distro 
support could broaden the reach of the oVirt community.
To date, there has been some work towards this goal, but it is not 
"coming to a conclusion".


Questions that comes to mind:

1) Is this still an issue?
I think that to support other serious distros would highlight the fact 
that oVirt is distro agnostic. Today oVirt still is "RedHat-centric"

2) Can we afford to dilute the focus we have as it is hard enough to
   stabilize the currently supported distro's? is it worth the
   potential impact?
3) Would it have maintainers catering to it so it won't be left behind
   / delay development?
4) Why bother with host support, ovirt-node can be used?
5) Why bother with engine support, a virtual appliance or a docker
   image could be used?
6) if we do it, should we focus on Ubuntu or Debian distro first?
Debian, of course, it is upstream of Ubuntu and its release criteria 
compares to Centos or RHEL

7) if we do it, should we focus on host or engine first?
I think that implementing host in Debian/Ubuntu would involve less work 
and after all, node/host is the core of virtualization infrastructure.


Thoughts?

[ovirt-users] Issues with oVirt 3.4, centos 6.6 and Gluster

[Federico Alberto Sayd]

I have found some issues while trying to install two nodes with centos 
6.6, oVirt 3.4 and cluster functionality.


1 - If you enable the gluster service in a cluster, when you install the 
hosts, the installation fails because it tries to install the gluster 
packages from Centos repository and a dependency problem is reported.


Workaround: Install the package yum-plugin-priorities and set priority=1 
in the /etc/yum.repos.d/ovirt-3.4-dependencies.repo, section glusterfs-epel.


2 - If you reboot the host, the service glusterd doesn't start at init, 
and host becomes non operational.


Workaround: Manually set glusterd to start at boot, using for example 
ntsysv.

Alternatively I could construct a VM in virt-manager and attach the

The last time I needed to import a qcow2 disk to oVirt I created a vm in 
a kvm server (my pc..) with virt-manager, then I added the qcow disk, 
and booted the vm with clonezilla. Then I created a VM in oVirt, 
provisioned with similar disks and booted also with clonezilla. Then I 
cloned from kvm to oVirt. After I deleted the native kvm vm and disks. 
In this way I bypassed all the import, export, ova compatibility,

Hi,

When we do some tasks in ovirt as delete an snapshot or clone a machine
or just want to make a machine template the impact on VMs residing on
the SPM node is huge. Is there a way to prevent this? This is just
normal tasks and we do this all the time.

Hello,

I believe there is currently no backup solution for oVirt. You can do
backups inside of vms or you can simply power-off vm and then export it
to the export storage. There is work underway on the backup API -
http://www.ovirt.org/Features/Backup-Restore_API_Integration


the backup api is implemented in 3.3 or 3.4 already. now backup 
solutions need to provide integration with it (or open source backup

Thank you Oved, I have already solved the problem, I have posted the

However I don't understand how the data is recorded in the table

I guess that in this table the engine records the current status data of 
the vm's in the datacenter. In my engine DB almost all the registries in 
the "vm_dynamic" table have a vm id in the "migrating_to_vds" field, 
this id is the same in the "run_on_vds" field.


Is it right that the "migrating_to_vds" field have a value after the vm 
has been migrated??


My setup:

oVirt Engine Version: 3.4.0-1.el6

Well, I solved the problem of host removal, some of reverse engineering 
over the DB structure and I can solve the problem.


For any reason that I don't know, I migrated a vm from a host to other 
host in the cluster, but in the table vm_dynamic that apparently 
contains the dynamic values of vm's, the field "migrating_to_vds" was 
not updated and still held the id of the vds (node, hypervisor, host, 
etc.) which was migrated from. Same host that I had put in maintenance 
in order to remove it.


I guess that the right behaviour is  update the "migrating_to_vds" field 
with the vm_guid of the vds (node, hypervisor) to which the vm is being 
migrated. But, I don't know what was wrong when the vm was migrated and 
therefore the value was not updated.


Simply I took the vds id from the error in engine.log, searched in the 
vd_dynamic table a row with this value in the field "migrating_to_vds" 
then I retrieved from the same row the value of the vm id from the field 
"vm_guid", then I searched in the table "vd_static" the name of the vm 
with such vm_guid. Then from the engine interface I migrated again this 
vm and the value in the field "migrating_to_vds" was correctly updated 
with the guid of the destination host. Then, the engine doesn't 
complaint anymore and I could remove the host.


The question is, why did not the migration update the value of 
"migrating_to_vds" field in the table vm_dynamic or did incorrectly 
update it??


Sorry if you don't understand all above, I don't write very well in 
English, and it is a bit painful to try to explain this situation in 
other language..!

I installed a mininal Centos 6.5, configured network, installed 
ovirt-release.rpm, but when the engine tries to install the node, it 
install ok the packages from ovirt repo, but when it tries to install 
from epel then fails because yum does not find the gpg key for epel repos.


I need to manually install the gpg key then the node installation is 
completed and ok:


wget http://fedoraproject.org/static/217521F6.txt

rpm --import 217521F6.txt

Is it normal? or should the gpg key be installed from the ovirt-release.rpm?

AFAIK isn't a old qemu-kvm package but a exclusive rhev package with the

I could activate live storage migration in 3.4 using the packages of

My version remains at 10.0.1-3 instead of 11.1.0-1.

I assume this is why I have no ovirt-3.3-stable repo available, only 
ovirt-3.3.3.


I've attached my repo file if interested.

Is thee a way to eventually migrate from 3.3.3 to 3.3.4 without

Yes, just disable the 3.4 and stable repo, keeping the 3.3 repo enabled.

yum-config-manager --disable ovirt-stable
yum-config-manager --disable ovirt-3.4-stable
yum-config-manager --enable ovirt-3.3-stable

I too, I'm in 3.4.rc and want to upgrade to 3.4 stable.

yum update ovirt-release-el6 says that there is not update available.
What package verison does provide the repos for 3.4 stable? 10.0 or 11.1 ??

Add support to sparsify disk trough virt-sparsify in order to reclaim 
unused space from vm disk or convert to thin provision.
This feature is usefult when you import a vm from another hypervisor

on NFS - it doesn't matter.
on block storage - i don't remember why. maybe federico remembers.

It was for performance reasons since on block it would result in a qcow2
image. We wanted the access to the template to be as fast as possible.

The same question was brought up few months ago when we discussed importing
images from glance as templates. Anyway in that case we decided (for simplicity)
to allow the import as template also for qcow2 images.


Ok, thank you both for the clarification

Allow select the storage domain when add a new VM from template.
Currently the vm is created in the same datastore that the template.


you can clone the template disks to multiple storage domains in the 
DC, then create the VM in any storage domain, for thinly provisioned.
for clone operation, iirc, you can do this even without having the 
template in the target storage domain?






1 - I could not find a "clone template" option, only the option "copy" 
when you select a template's disk in Templates->Disks. Is this "copy"  
the "clone" that you mention?



2 - Then can't I use a storage domain only for templates (i.e. use a 
slow performance storage only for templates)?



3 - Another question, when you convert a VM to template I see that it is

Hi,

well basically the left pane, where I have to click through
"system->DC->etc" is plain useless to me.

I always go via the top tabs and then select the sub entity
I want to have.

So there are to many ways you can configure the same setting.

Example:
Adding a logical network

You can click:

"System->Your_DC->Networks->...wait..for..loading..->New"
or
"System" then click the "Networks" tab
(you have no long loading animation! :) ) -> "New"
(now you have of course to select the correct DC).

the latter is faster.

So I would omit this whole tree style stuff and just
kick it out.

It's not fast, and you often have to click through the tree
so I use just "System" selected in the tree and then select
the tabs I want.

Additional confusion:

When you did not select "system" and then want to use the
main tabs, you get just displayed what is appropriate for
the sub-tree of "system"..

It's just plain useless duplication of functionality imho.

I agree, the plenty of tabs at any level is confusing.

Also would be nice to add views to left panel: VM's view, Storage View,

Could you share vdsm.log and supervdsm.log? When you set up ovirtmgmt,
as setupNetworks command should be visible there. Later, on "save", a
call to setSafeNetworkConfig is sent, which is expected to persist
your
network configuration.

Is it visible? Is it successful?

What do you see in the logs post boot? Can you tell whether
the vdsm-restore-net-config.init server was run? (its job is to revert
unsaved network config changes on non-ovirt-nodes).

Hello:

I am having problems with bonding

I have installed Centos 6.5 in order to use it as host. I configured
eth0 with the vlan of the management network (Vlan 70). Then I
registered the host to the engine (3.3.2-1-el6) and the engine
installed oVirt in the host without problem.  Ovirtmgmt was created
automatically and bridged with eth0.70.

Now I need to bond a second network interface (eth1) with eth0. But
when I try to bond the nics, I get the next error:

"A slave interface is not properly configured. Please verify slaves do
not contain any of the following properties: network name, boot
protocol, IP address, netmask, gateway or vlan-ID notation (as part of
interface's name or explicitly)"

Federico, where exactly do you get this error? Would you attach the
setupNetwork log from supervdsmd.log?

I get the error in the setup-network dialog in ovirt-engine.

Today I solved the issue copying the network config of other host
(same hardware), and it worked.

The supervdsm.log whith the lines logged yesterday:

http://pastebin.com/kpXrRd2w

It would be nice if the error could be more explicit, i.e. telling
the ifcfg-* that are conflictive.

I do not understand the error yet... I believe that in the text you have
quoted, Engine complains that an interface has not joined a bond. But
Engine's command to Vdsm

MainProcess|Thread-15::DEBUG::2014-01-21
13:13:21,166::supervdsmServer::95::SuperVdsm.ServerCallback::(wrapper)
call setupNetworks with ({'ovirtmgmt': {'nic': 'eth0', 'vlan': '70',
'ipaddr': '192.168.1.101', 'netmask': '255.255.255.0', 'STP': 'no',
'bridged': 'true'}}, {}, {'connectivityCheck': 'true',
'connectivityTimeout': 120}

contains no reference to a bond device, and seems to have succeeded.

One notable problem is that the network definitions lack a 'gateway'
parameter, which is very important for ovirtmgmt.

Would you share your vdsm.log, too? The output of getCapabilities before
and after setupNetworks may shed some light on the circumstances.

Regads,
Dan.


Exactly , Engine doesn't want to create the bond because the
configuration of a nic have "unacceptable" parameters.

But, specifically what parameters? Which interface? Could the error be
more explicit?

Engine complains about the contents of ifcfg-* or actual network config?
or both? In any case  I restarted network service after edit ifcfg-* files.

I got the error when I tried to bond the interfaces. The ovirtmgmt was
created by oVirt and bridged to eth0.70 when the host was installed via
oVirt Engine. After, I tried to bond the two interfaces: eth0, (with
ovirtmgmt attached to it) and eth1 (without config), then the gui showed
the error about ifcfg-* parameters.

I guess that the text that you quoted corresponds to the creation of
ovirmgmnt network at install time. I don't find in supervdsm.log any
references to the bond creation.

vdsm.log: http://pastebin.com/AGSMBnkN


I took a closer look at the vdsm.log file and i've noticed that the 
'getCapabilities'
reports the following for the 'eth1' interface:

nics': {'eth1': {'netmask': '', 'addr': '', 'hwaddr': 'e4:1f:13:1a:5b:da', 
'cfg': {'UUID': '3d63cd78-57e5-4f26-81c4-8a342a342ef4', 'NM_CONTROLLED': 'yes', 
'HWADDR': 'E4:1F:13:1A:5B:DA', 'BOOTPROTO': 'dhcp', 'DEVICE': 'eth1', 'TYPE': 
'Ethernet', 'ONBOOT': 'no'}, 'ipv6addrs': ['fe80::e61f:13ff:fe1a:5bda/64'], 
'speed': 1000, 'mtu': '1500'},

This in interface is configured with boot-protocol as 'dhcp' and cannot serve 
as a
slave. In addition, it is marked as managed by the network manager which i'm 
not sure
is advisable.

This somehow defers from the output of the ifcfg-eth1 content which didn't 
specify any
value for that device:

ifcfg-eth1:
DEVIC E=eth1
TYPE=Ethernet
ONBOOT=yes

Adding to this file:
NM_CONTROLLED=no
BOOTPROTO=none

and restarting the network service && vdsm would reflect this in

Subject: [Users] Centos 6.5 and bonding: "A slave interface is not
properlyconfigured"

Hello:

I am having problems with bonding

I have installed Centos 6.5 in order to use it as host. I configured eth0
with the vlan of the management network (Vlan 70). Then I registered the
host to the engine (3.3.2-1-el6) and the engine installed oVirt in the
host
without problem. Ovirtmgmt was created automatically and bridged with
eth0.70.

Now I need to bond a second network interface (eth1) with eth0. But when I
try to bond the nics, I get the next error:


Could you describe how you've created the bond ? via webadmin setup
networks
dialog or via api ?



Via webadmin Setup Network (Web GUI)

Does the setup dialog presents the new configuration when you create the bond ?
Meaning, does it draw the following ?
eth0 --
|--bond0 --- ovirtmgmt (vlan 70)
eth1 --

If it does, this is simply bug in the UI which should have better construct
the parameters to the setup networks.

Could you open a bug for it ?

You may use the setup networks api (via rest-client or using the sdk) to specify
the target configuration.

No, the bond is never displayed in the web UI, the error prevents the 
bond creation. I already solved the problem, only I think that would be 
fine if the UI error be more explicit and include info about to the 
interface or interfaces with problematic configurations.


I don't know if supervdsm.log or vdsm.log make reference to the 
interfaces that have unacceptable configurations.

Federico, where exactly do you get this error? Would you attach the
setupNetwork log from supervdsmd.log?

I get the error in the setup-network dialog in ovirt-engine.

Today I solved the issue copying the network config of other host
(same hardware), and it worked.

The supervdsm.log whith the lines logged yesterday:

http://pastebin.com/kpXrRd2w

It would be nice if the error could be more explicit, i.e. telling
the ifcfg-* that are conflictive.

I do not understand the error yet... I believe that in the text you have
quoted, Engine complains that an interface has not joined a bond. But
Engine's command to Vdsm

MainProcess|Thread-15::DEBUG::2014-01-21 
13:13:21,166::supervdsmServer::95::SuperVdsm.ServerCallback::(wrapper) call 
setupNetworks with ({'ovirtmgmt': {'nic': 'eth0', 'vlan': '70', 'ipaddr': 
'192.168.1.101', 'netmask': '255.255.255.0', 'STP': 'no', 'bridged': 'true'}}, 
{}, {'connectivityCheck': 'true', 'connectivityTimeout': 120}

contains no reference to a bond device, and seems to have succeeded.

One notable problem is that the network definitions lack a 'gateway'
parameter, which is very important for ovirtmgmt.

Would you share your vdsm.log, too? The output of getCapabilities before
and after setupNetworks may shed some light on the circumstances.

Regads,
Dan.



Exactly , Engine doesn't want to create the bond because the 
configuration of a nic have "unacceptable" parameters.


But, specifically what parameters? Which interface? Could the error be 
more explicit?


Engine complains about the contents of ifcfg-* or actual network config? 
or both? In any case  I restarted network service after edit ifcfg-* files.


I got the error when I tried to bond the interfaces. The ovirtmgmt was 
created by oVirt and bridged to eth0.70 when the host was installed via 
oVirt Engine. After, I tried to bond the two interfaces: eth0, (with 
ovirtmgmt attached to it) and eth1 (without config), then the gui showed 
the error about ifcfg-* parameters.


I guess that the text that you quoted corresponds to the creation of 
ovirmgmnt network at install time. I don't find in supervdsm.log any 
references to the bond creation.

[Users] Ovirt 3.3.2. and vdsm 4.14

[Federico Alberto Sayd]

Hello:

Why Ovirt 3.3.2. installs vdsm 4.14 on Centos 6.5??

I am installing 5 nodes with Centos 6.5.

I have installed two nodes, I have added:

1 - epel repo 
(http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/i386/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm)


2 - ovirt repo (http://ovirt.org/releases/ovirt-release-el.noarch.rpm)

In the two first nodes Ovirt engine installed vdsm 4.13.

Now I have installed the third node with the same repos and Ovirt 
installs vdsm 4.14 and when it tries to activate the node complains 
about the vdsm version, it says that vdsm version is not compatible:


Host "my-third-node" is installed with VDSM version (4.14) and cannot 
join cluster Cluster-XXX which is compatible with VDSM versions [4.13, 
4.9, 4.11, 4.12, 4.10].



/etc/yum.repos.d in the trhee nodes are the same:

CentOS-Base.repo  CentOS-Debuginfo.repo  CentOS-Media.repo 
CentOS-Vault.repo  el6-ovirt.repo  epel.repo  epel-testing.repo 
glusterfs-epel.repo


Why the difference? It is not suppossed that oVirt 3.3.2 should install 
vdsm 3.13 ??

Federico

I delete any unnecessary parameters from ifcfg-eth0 and ifcfg-eth1.

This is my network config:

ifcfg-eth0:
DEVICE=eth0
TYPE=Ethernet
ONBOOT=yes

ifcfg-eth1:
DEVIC E=eth1
TYPE=Ethernet
ONBOOT=yes

ifcfg-eth0.70:
# Generated by VDSM version 4.13.2-1.el6
DEVICE=eth0.70
ONBOOT=yes
VLAN=yes
BRIDGE=ovirtmgmt
NM_CONTROLLED=no
STP=no

ifcfg-ovirtmgmt:
# Generated by VDSM version 4.13.2-1.el6
DEVICE=ovirtmgmt
ONBOOT=yes
TYPE=Bridge
DELAY=0
IPADDR=192.168.1.101
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
BOOTPROTO=none
DEFROUTE=yes
NM_CONTROLLED=no
STP=no

No others ifcfg-* files.

I don't see the parameters that oVirt doesn't like. Any clue,
workaround, bug report?

Thanks!

Federico

PD: Sorry for my basic english
  

I´ve seen issues from folks trying to configure Host network through
webadmin and failing one too many times now, so I decided to write
something up:

http://www.ovirt.org/Bonding_VLAN_Bridge

Hope this helps!

Thanks Karli! Though it SHOULD be possible to start with eth0 and eth0.2
on the host (where "2" is the vlan id of your manamgement network), and
from there on, do all configuration via Engine.

I'd like to automate as much as possible out of this process, and iron
out remaining bugs. Hence, I would like to hear more about Federico's
mode of failure.

One comment to your wiki page: in order to better intergrate with our
recent source-routing support (mostly useful for display network),
please set GATEWAY only in ifcfg-ovirtmgmt, and remember to set
DEFROUTE=no in any other ifcfg that mentions IPADDR so as not to
override the default.

Dan.

[Users] oVirt node - network config not persisted

Let me explain:

Actually I am testing Ovirt, my plans are use it on production,

want to be sure that if I have to power off a host for mainteinance, 
when I booted it up again, all work flawlessly.


In my testing I powered off a cluster host member, but when I booted 
up the host again, the network configuration was reverted to an old 
configuration that I had configured previously to the registration 
with Ovirt-engine. (Before registration I had changed this config to 
the correct settings, but I never had rebooted the host).


In other cases whith other nodes, when I rebooted the node there was 
not networking config at all. I reconfigured the network interfaces 
and rebooted again and again, and nothing. The network settings 
dissapears from the status tab (TUI)  when the host boot up.


There is possible  to add a "reset to defaults" option to Ovirt node?

Hi Malini,

What I'd like you to review is the resolution you are using.
This seems to be taken in a full-hd screen, where I think we

Would you consider posting also a lower resolution sample?

Ah.. was assuming the grub disc you booted from was EFI enabled. 
Try booting the node iso in EFI mode and run through those steps 
again.


Super grub disk detects the grub.cfg from ovirt's installation and 
loads the system from this configuration. Therefore I assume that 
the kernel parameters from grub config loads the system with EFI 
enabled.


The grub config from grub's console is:

setparams 'oVirt Node Hypervisor 2.2.2-2.2.fc16'

set root=(hd0,3)
linux /vmlinuz0 root=live:LABEL=Root ro rootfstype=auto

quiet rd_NO_LVM rhgb rd.luks=0 rd.md=0 rd.dm=0

initrd /initrd0.img


EFI boot process is done before the grub config comes into play, and 
the grub config has a few extra lines in it. The machine I'm testing 
on when you goto the boot menu will show UEFI: $CD_DEVICE_NAME or 
for boot entries for ovirt it would show:  oVirt Node Hypervisor If 
your grub cd supports efi booting it will be noticeable in the boot 
menu. In order to do an efi installation it has to be booted in efi 
mode for it to properly setup the boot entries.



Before the Ovirt entry on Grub menu, Grub2 displays the config detected:

setparams '(hd0,gpt3)/grub2/grub.cfg'  'hd0,gpt3' 
'(hd0,gpt3)/grub2/grub.cfg'


cfg_device="$2"
cfg="$3"

Is there where "UEFI:" parameter must be present?

You would see it just past the machine posting, on mine you would 
press F8 to reach a boot menu and then select cd/usb/etc from there. 
The uefi trigger happens similar to the machine reading a mbr on a 
drive. One way to notice if its working or not it a higher resolution 
perception on the monitor, text is smaller and the screen doesn't 
appear as the normal 80x25 console line/columns. You just need to find 
the right combination of keys to get in the menu. By livecd-tools 
defaults the ovirt-node iso supports efi loading. Grub2/uefi support 
in Fedora isn't quite there yet, so in this case we're still using 
legacy grub's efi loader and writing an alternate grub config to match 
it, similar to how Fedora is doing it until grub2 support is there.


I guess now I understand you. I have been searching in the UEFI text 
interface of the blade and it allows browse the EFI System Partition and 
choose a file to boot. However this EFI interface don't show any file to 
boot.


Then I booted the system with another livecd and mounted the EFI 
partition; I found that there was not any file in the EFI partition. It

setparams '(hd0,gpt3)/grub2/grub.cfg'  'hd0,gpt3' 
'(hd0,gpt3)/grub2/grub.cfg'


cfg_device="$2"
cfg="$3"
root="$cfg_device"
configfile "$cfg"

Is there where "UEFI:" parameter must be present?

Sorry, I am a newbie to UEFI and Grub2, meanwhile I am reading all I can 
about Grub2 and UEFI


Thanks

I think that still there is a problem with UEFI in certain hardware:

Mi system is a IBM blade center HS22 7870

Can anyone confirm problems with UEFI in 2.2.2 version?

Thanks

Can you boot the image like you did with the grub livecd and run 
efibootmgr -v also mount /dev/disk/by-label/EFI and run find on 
where you mounted it.




Ok,

efibootmgr -v

Fatal: Couldn't open either sysfs or procfs directories for accessing 
EFI variables.

Try 'modprobe efivars' as root

I can't mount /dev/disk/by-label/EFI, when I create a directory and 
try to mount the partition, mount says:


mount: /dev/sda1 already mounted or disco busy

however, mount output don't show that /dev/sda1 is mounted

Some directories are in read only mode and I could not create a 
directory to mount the partition, I tried into /config and /live.


/dev/disk/by-label/EFI points to /dev/sda1 and "disco" is the 
directory mount point.


Also,  /proc/efi/vars/   and  /sys/firmware/efi/vars/ are not present

Thanks

Ah.. was assuming the grub disc you booted from was EFI enabled. Try 
booting the node iso in EFI mode and run through those steps again.



Sorry, I sent to the private. I resend to the list:

Super grub disk detects the grub.cfg from ovirt's installation and loads 
the system from this configuration. Therefore I assume that the kernel 
parameters from grub config loads the system with EFI enabled.


The grub config from grub's console is:

setparams 'oVirt Node Hypervisor 2.2.2-2.2.fc16'

set root=(hd0,3)
linux /vmlinuz0 root=live:LABEL=Root ro rootfstype=auto rootflags=ro 
crashkernel=512M-2G:64M,2G-:128M elevator=deadline quiet rd_NO_LVM rhgb 
rd.luks=0 rd.md=0 rd.dm=0

initrd /initrd0.img
