[ovirt-users] Hosted engine Single Sign-On to VM with freeIPA not working
Hi, I am having an issue with getting SSO to work when a standard user(UserRole) logs in to the UserPortal. The user has permission to use only this VM, so after login the console is automatically opened for that VM. Problem is that it doesn't login on the VM system with the provided credentials. Manual login at the console works without any issues. HBAC-rule check on IPA shows access is granted. Client has SELINUX in permissive mode and a disabled firewalld. On the client side I do see some PAM related errors in the logs (see details below). Extensive Google search on error 17 "Failure setting user credentials" didn't show helpful information :-( AFAIK this is did a pretty standard set-up, all working with RH-family products. I would expect others to encounter this issue as well. If someone knows any solution or has some directions to fix this it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Paul -- System setup: I have 3 systems The connection between the Engine and IPA is working fine.

Re: [ovirt-users] Hosted engine Single Sign-On to VM with freeIPA not working
Hi Ondra, Thanks for your reply, unfortunately this does not resolve the issue. I had already seen this bug and tried it without the -authz appendix(maybe should have mentioned that). I also (may be wrongfully) assumed that the "ovirt-engine-extension-aaa-ldap-setup" would not have this issue/bug. Anyways, I changed it (again) to the DOMAIN without '-authz' by changing: /etc/ovirt-engine/extensions.d/DOMAIN-authz.properties => ovirt.engine.extension.name = DOMAIN /etc/ovirt-engine/extensions.d/DOMAIN-authn.properties => ovirt.engine.aaa.authn.authz.plugin = DOMAIN Systemctl restart ovirt-engine By the way: login with IPA users doesn't work anymore, you have to log in with admin internal account and remove your IPA users and add them back to make them work again. But still get the error: pam_sss(gdm-ovirtcred:auth): received for user test6: 17 (Failure setting user credentials) Any suggestions? -Original Message- From: Ondra Machacek [mailto:omach...@redhat.com] Sent: donderdag 17 maart 2016 16:58 To: Paul ; users@ovirt.org Subject: Re: [ovirt-users] Hosted engine Single Sign-On to VM with freeIPA not working Hi, your authz name should match kerberos name.

Hi Ondra, Bug 1316135 was new to me and sounds very similar to my issue "(0, 17, ) [Success (Failure setting user credentials)]" Proposed work-around with "authconfig --enablenis --update" worked for me, although this creates an issue with the keyring authentication.

[ovirt-users] cloud init hostname from pools
Hi, I would like to automatically set the hostname of a VM to be the same as the ovirt machine name seen in the portal. This can be done by creating a template and activating cloud-init in the initial run tab. A new VM named "test" based in this template is created and the hostname is "test", works perfect! But when I create a pool (i.e. "testpool") based on this template I get machines with names "testpool-1", "testpool-2", etc. but the machine name is not present in the metadata and cannot be set as hostname. This is probably due to the fact that the machine names are auto generated by the oVirt Pool. Is this expected/desired behavior for cloud-init from pools? If so, what would be the best way to retrieve the machine name (as seen in the portal) and manually set it to be hostname via cloud-init (i.e. runcmd - hostnamectl set-hostname $(hostname)) Kind regards, Paul ___ Users mailing list Users@ovirt.org http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users
Re: [ovirt-users] cloud init hostname from pools
Hi Barak, Thanks for the explanation. I added my request to your bug. In the meantime I created this workaround for making pool hostnames unique based on the last octet of ip-address from de DHCP after setting it to static. Not sure if it is safe/durable but seems to work enough for me and has at least some logic in the hostname. initscript: runcmd: - ip=$(ip route get 8.8.8.8 | awk '{print $NF;exit}') - nmcli con mod eth0 ipv4.addresses $ip"/24" ipv4.dns x.x.x.x ipv4.gateway x.x.x.x ipv4.method manual - hostnamectl set-hostname testpool-"${ip##*.}".example.com -Original Message- From: Barak Korren [mailto:bkor...@redhat.com] Sent: dinsdag 20 juni 2017 09:47 To: Paul Cc: users Subject: Re: [ovirt-users] cloud init hostname from pools On 19 June 2017 at 17:16, Paul wrote: > > I would like to automatically set the hostname of a VM to be the same > as the ovirt machine name seen in the portal. > > This can be done by creating a template and activating cloud-init in > the initial run tab. > > A new VM named “test” based in this template is created and the > hostname is “test”, works perfect! > > But when I create a pool (i.e. “testpool”) based on this template I > get machines with names “testpool-1”, “testpool-2”, etc. but the > machine name is not present in the metadata and cannot be set as > hostname.

[ovirt-users] vm shutdown long delay is a problem for users of pools
Hi, Shutting down VM's in the portal with the red downfacing arrow takes quite some time (about 90 seconds). I read this is mainly due to a 60 second delay in the ovirt-guest-agent. I got used to right-click and use "power off" instead of "shutdown", which is fine. My users make use of VM in a VM-pool. They get assigned a VM and after console disconnect the VM shuts down (default recommended behavior). My issue is that the users stays assigned to this VM for the full 90 seconds and cannot do "power off". Suppose he disconnected by accident, he has to wait 90 seconds until he is assigned to the pool again until he can connect to another VM. My questions are: - Is it possible to decrease the time delay of a VM shutdown? 90 seconds is quite a lot, 10 seconds should be enough - Is it possible for normal users to use "power off"? - Is it possible to "unallocate" the user from a VM if it is powering down? So he can allocate another VM Kind regards, Paul ___ Users mailing list Users@ovirt.org http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users
Re: [ovirt-users] vm shutdown long delay is a problem for users of pools
Hi Sharon, Thanks for your comments. My findings on those: 1. Yes all VMs have ovirt-guest-agent installed and active, shutdown time is still about 90 seconds. Any other way to reduce this? I see in the logs “Jun 28 11:49:03 pool python: Shutdown scheduled for Wed 2017-06-28 11:50:03 CEST, use 'shutdown -c' to cancel.” And then a wait of 60 seconds. Is it possible to adjust this delay? 2. Clicking twice works. Thanks for the tip! 3. a. More VMs per user: yes, could be a good option b. I have some trouble with the “console disconnect action” and filed a bug for it last week [1]. Any disconnect action (except shutdown) combined with “strict user checking” (security wise recommended) blocks and depletes pool resources and in my opinion jeopardizes the pool functionality. I am curious what your thoughts are on this.

Consider installing ovirt-guest-agent in all VMs in your Pool to decrease the time taken for the VM shutdown. - Is it possible for normal users to use “power off”? There is no option in UserPortal to power-off a VM but you can try to click twice (sequential clicks) on the 'shutdown' button. Two sequential shutdown requests are handled in oVirt as "power off". - Is it possible to “unallocate” the user from a VM if it is powering down? So he can allocate another VM You can consider assigning two VMs per each user, if possible of-course (via WebAdmin->edit Pool -> and set "Maximum number of VMs per user" field to "2") so that way while one VM is still shutting down, the user can switch and connect to a second VM without waiting. Another option is to create a pool with a different policy for console disconnecting so that the VM won't shutdown each time the user close the console (via WebAdmin->Pool->Console tab->"Console Disconnect Action"). Consider changing this field to "Lock screen" or "Logout user" instead of "shutdown virtual machine". This policy will avoid accidentally console disconnection waiting each time...but on the other hand the VM state will remain as is since no shutdown occurs, so it really depends on your requirements.

Re: [ovirt-users] Hosted engine Single Sign-On to VM with freeIPA not working
Hi Ondra, It is over a year since the last message, so I thought let's give this a new try. Did setup a new test environment with latest versions, all RH-family (Centos 7.3 with ovirt 4.1) Ovirt engine works fine with IPA, in the console I can log in with credentials.

[Users] scsi disks inside VMs?
Hello. I'm wondering if it is possible to create VMs with ovirt that have scsi disks? I've just installed ovirt 3.2.1 on Fedora 18 and attached an ovirt node (the current fedora 18 based version). When adding disks to a VM I can chose from the 'IDE' or 'VirtIO' interfaces. I'd like a scsi option also. Mainly because when migrating from vsphere VMs this makes things simpler. Also, my current kickstart installer for various OSes does not yet handle 'vd' disks. To add to things I need to install a custom filesystem on the vms that wants a scsi disk. It does a scsi inquiry early on in the install phase and will not work in 'vd' disks. ie: 'sg_inq /dev/vda' does not work. I also know that the libata driver in recent linux distributions exposes IDE drives as scsi and allows a scsi enquiry to succeed. Unfortunately the use case I have required Enterprise Linux 5 and in this release IDE disks report as 'hd', whereas scsi disks report as 'sd'. So, I can just use an IDE disk to get around this problem. I understand that virt-manager will allow attaching scsi disks to KVM based virtual machines, and that this is made possible by recent changes in libvirt. I think we should be encouraging people to use the virtio disks where possible, but in cases where this is not straightforward ovirt - and RHEV - are missing a trick as far as allowing people that have existing vsphere setups to fairly easily move to ovirt. Is a 'scsi' interface' option for adding virtual disks for VMs on the roadmap? If not, could it be considered? Thanks. ___ Users mailing list Users@ovirt.org http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users
[Users] Support for VAAI SCSI primitives in ovirt?
Hello. I've been following the progress of VAAI support being added to the 'target-core' framework in the Linux kernel. Support for all 4 features did not make it into the recent 3.11 kernel release but is planned for 3.12. There is some detail on VAAI (Vsphere APIs for Array Integration) here. VAAI is obviously a VMware term, but the SCSI primitives it refers to are open. From the above linked page: "VAAI significantly enhances the integration of storage and servers by enabling seamless offload of locking and block operations onto the storage array." It seems reasonable to assume that Fedora 20 (and probably Fedora 19 with a kernel update at some stage) will be using the 3.12 kernel and could be used to export iSCSI/FC targets to Ovirt. VMware also provides VAAI integration for NAS datastores (via the installation of a vendor specific plugin into Vmware Vcenter) that also significantly improves performance for some operations. From what I can make out from the VMware documentation the ability to use the VAAI offloads only applies to the upper tier licensed version of vcenter. I think there is an opportunity for Ovirt to add support for this feature and make it stand out even against the freely licensed ESXi (which will be missing this feature). With more people looking to Ovirt rather than getting started and potentially staying with VMware this is a good opportunity to gather market share. What is the current status of support for these VAAI scsi primitives in Ovirt? Is there anything planned at the moment? Regarding the VAAI NAS plugin feature that VMware now has - are there plans to help offload certain operations happening on NFS datastores? For instance some sort of agent that can be installed on a Linux NFS server could allow oVirt to instruct the NFS server machine to perform an offloaded copy/clone operation rather than that process needing to be done over the wire.

[Users] EL5 support for VirtIO SCSI?
I have just set up an Ovirt 3.3.0 install and have done a test install of Centos 6.4 in a VM. The VM was configured with an IDE drive and a virtio-scsi drive. The Centos 6.4 install sees both drives OK. I'm wanting to do some testing on a product that is based on EL5, but I'm finding that it cannot see the virtio-scsi drive. It does show up in the output of 'lspci', but I don't see a corresponding 'sd' device. I've just tried installing Centos 5.10 and the support is not there. Does anyone know of any tricks to allow EL5 to see the virtio-scsi device?___ Users mailing list Users@ovirt.org http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users
Re: [Users] EL5 support for VirtIO SCSI?
Hi Rene. I specifically need the scsi support (virtio-scsi). I do know about the virtio-block support, which results in /dev/vd* devices as you say. From what I read even EL6 earlier than 6.3 does not support virtio-scsi Alternatively, does oVirt support an emulated scsi adapter of a different type that would allow me to see scsi disks?

Re: [Users] EL5 support for VirtIO SCSI?
Hello Itamar. The specific use case is a particular propriety filesystem that needs to see a scsi device. It will do scsi inquiry conmmands to verify suitability. In talking to the devs - of the filesystem - there is no way around it. I'd previously tried virtio-block - resulting in the /dev/vd* device - and the filesystem would not work. From doing a bit of web searching it appears the kvm/qemu supports (or did support) an emulated LSI scsi controller. My understanding is that the various virtualization platforms will emulate a well supported device (by the guest OSes) so that drivers are not an issue. For example this should allow a VM on Vmware vsphere/vcenter to be exported to Ovirt and have it boot up. The potential for further optimising the guest is there by installing ovirt/qemu/kvm guest utils that then allow the guest OS to understand the virtio nic and scsi devices. The guest could then be shut down, the nic and scsi controller changed and the guest booted up again. You can do the same thing in the Vmware world by installing their guest tools, shutting down the guest VM, then reconfiguring it with a vmxnet3 nic and pvscsi scsi adapter, then booting up again. It does seem somewhat inconsistent in Ovirt that we allow a choice of Intel e1000 or virtio nics, but do not offer any choice with the scsi adapter. Again, in Vmware land you can choose to have a scsi disk, but you choose which controller type it is attached to. In the current Ovirt 3.3.0 release you just chose a virtio-scsi disk, rather than there being a separation of the scsi disk and scsi controller. The messy situation with importing VMs from other platforms could be eased by allowing an emulated scsi controller as well as the preferred virtio controller. As mentioned previously, the support for this seems to be present in kvm/qemu. I wonder if there was a specific design decision (ie: some particular reason) to not support the approach I've just described? I can understand that in some cases simplicity is something to aim for though. I think this would make migration away from the dominant market leader - Vmware - easier and is something that would make ovirt/RHEV that more compelling. Getting back to my original query - 'open-vm-tools' support the vmware paravirtual scsi adapter and I am able to install these on EL5 and then see that adapter. It would be great if there was a similar initiative for the various virtio devices where you could install a packge/kmod and then allow some of the older OSes (of which there are still lots of VMs around for various reasons). There are obviously drivers for the various Windows flavours that take this approach. I'm surprised that for Linux it is just a case of 'if it's in the kernel you are running then it is supported'. I'm really pleased with the progress the ovirt has been making. I'm like to see it continue to knock down the various reasons out there as to why people with Vmware vcenter shops can't migrate over to it.

Re: [Users] EL5 support for VirtIO SCSI?
Hello Stefan. Thanks. I understand qemu supports other scsi adapters however. See this post from earlier this year. That post makes reference to the following hbas: auto, buslogic, ibmvscsi. lsilogic, lsisas1068, lsisas1078, virtio-scsi, vmpvscsi. The post is referring to libvirt, so the number of adapters may be related to the various virtualization backends that libvirt can interface with. There are numerous references to qemu/qemu-kvm supporting other scsi adapters as well as AHCI SATA. I installed the Centos 6.4 based node, so perhaps the Fedora 19 based node has a newer qemu that supports more of these features? I might see if I can do an install of the Fedora 19 based node tomorrow. Ayal mentioned using 'hooks' to interface with qemu to possibly create a VM outside of the definitions that Ovirt allows. If I am understanding this correctly - how do I do this? Am I to expect some interface inconsistencies in the ovirt portal I I view a 'custom' VM like this? So, in short - is there the potential for me to create a VM in ovirt that has a SCSI/SAS/SATA HBA and attach disk(s) to it (other than the virtio-scsi HBA which is not supported under EL5)?

The only supported emulated SCSI HBA device is virtio-scsi. It was Tech Preview in RHEL 6.3 and became fully supported in RHEL 6.4. virtio-scsi is not available in RHEL 5.

Re: [Users] EL5 support for VirtIO SCSI?
Hi Paolo. I think this would be quite a useful patch. The two benefits as far as I can see would be: (1) smoother importing of VMs from Vmware/vsphere/vcenter into hypervisors that make use of libvirt. The VM definition would not need to change the scsi adapter property. (2) potentially allow using the vmware pvscsi controller in ovirt. In my particular use case this should allow EL5 guests to be used (and have a supported scsi controller once 'open-vm-tools' is installed) in Ovirt. Ovviously we'd want to steer people into using virtio-scsi wherever possible though, as has been discussed previously. Please let us know on list if you do get to this.

I think vmpvscsi is not supported for QEMU in libvirt. It would be a very simple patch, I may get round to it before Christmas...

Re: [Users] oVirt Node 3.0.3-1 for oVirt 3.3 release
Fabian, I've downloaded the ovirt-node-iso-3.0.3-1.1.vdsm.fc19.iso image and have tried installing it on two separate machines. Whether I do a regular install (default boot screen option) or choose 'reinstall' from the troubleshooting menu I get tripped up at the same spot. When it comes time to select a keyboard layout (I think this is correct) US English is the default. I press enter at that point and after a short delay there is a very uninformative error message that appears. I can't remember what it is off the top of my head and the systems are at work (I'm at home now). After this point I can continue but the install fails immediately after I get past the install target selection screen. Has anyone successfully installed a node using this iso image? I even tried removing partitions from the drive beforehand, to the point of dd'ing the first 512 bytes to make sure there was no partition table. This didn't help - I still ran into the install error described above. I particularly wanted to try an FC19 based node to try out live storage migration on NFS, as I was having problems with the EL6.4 node with this. Is there a chance that that issue might be resolved for EL6 based nodes by an upcoming new EL6.5 based node spin? Sorry I cannot provide the exact error details for the install issue now, but I can get the error detail in the next couple of days if required.

Hi Nauman. I wasn't able to get back and do further debugging on this just yet.

[Users] live storage migration - when is this being targeted?
>From what I can understand ovirt 3.4.0 - or a least the hypervisor part based >on el6 - cannot do live storage migration due to an older qemu-kvm package. I assume this is a related bug? https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1009100 From what I can infer from this there is a related issue with vdsm that needs handling as well? From a feature parity perspective against Vmware Vcenter (Enterprise plus) this is a very important feature. I can think of a number of Vmware shops that wouldn't look an a competing hypervisor management platform without this feature working. I think this would be a key milestone for ovirt to get to. Is this something that is likely to be worked out for the 3.4.1 timeframe or is it now a 3.5 issue? Thanks. ___ Users mailing list Users@ovirt.org http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users
[Users] el7 based node? el7 as a supported platform for ovirt?
Hi. There's been a bit of chatter about what is required for Fedora 20 support for ovirt. I can't seem to find newer fedora19 based node isos anymore. Has there been a conscious decision to standardize on the el6 based node iso? Is an F20 based node iso something that is being worked on? I hear that el7 might be announced this month. Presumably Centos 7.0 won't be far away after that. I've done some test installs of RHEL 7 beta to get a look at what packages are in use. Of particular interest to me is the qemu-kvm package - the version of which seem to be important for live snapshots and live migrations (something we don't seem to do well right now). EL beta7 has this version - qemu-kvm-1.5.3-19.el7.x86_64.rpm Given the issues with needing newer versions of certain packages than what is in EL 6.5, is this situation likely to be improved greatly when Centos 7 is available? I don't recall seeing much discussion about ovirt running under el7. Is this being looked at at this stage, or given the fact there is only a beta of rhel7 to work with right now are we just waiting for the release before deciding too much?

[Users] node spin including qemu-kvm-rhev?
I understand that there are ongoing discussions with the Centos people regarding a suitable home for recompiled qemu-kvm packages. Given that the ovirt node is our own spin, is there any reason why that couldn't include the recompiled qemu-kvm packages that will then allow us to use live snapshots and do live migrations? Itamar recently mentioned that we already build these via a jenkins task. Nodes built on top of a Centos install will still be an issue but I think its reasonable that the ovirt-node iso could include these custom packages. This way we don't have to potentially wait until 3.4.1 or 3.5 to get the live snapshot/migration features. The caveat would be that these features would only be supported if the nodes were all ovirt node iso based.

The questions is how do we differentiate between the nodes to make sure no one mixes them by mistake? My mail client might mangle the bottom-posting here, so we'll see how it goes. I saw a post from Fabian that he had re-enabled jenkins builds of the node image based on Fedora 19/20 (but not yet including the VDSM plugin). Presumably the main goal of this is to ensure that things in node land are OK for an upcoming spin based on EL7? If ovirt does go back to having Fedora and EL based node images in the short term it would mean that live migration will work on the Fedora images. If it was also decided to allow the EL based node image to include the recompiled qemu-kvm-rhev package the Ovirt release notes could then say that when using an ovirt node image live migration is supported, as is when a fedora install has the ovirt hypervisor packages installed. It would only be that an EL based system - built up to then also include the ovirt hypervisor packages - that live migration would not be supported - at this stage. This can change when the details are further worked out with the Centos people about how the updated qemu-kvm packages will be hosted and made available. In the meantime, people that want to set things up so that live migration is there can do so. Once live migration is in place I think it would be interesting to try and find out from people interested (or already testing ovirt) that have VMware backgrounds/experience what they think is the the largest outstanding issue feature wise when comparing ovirt to Vcenter.

I'm pretty sure we are on the same page here. I just checked the ovirt 'quickstart' page and it calls the various hypervisor nodes 'hosts'. ie: Fedora host, EL, host, ovirt node host. If the ovirt node included the qemu-kvm-rhev package - or an updated qemu-kvm - it would mean that both ovirt node hosts and fedora hosts could both support live storage migration. It would only be EL hosts that do not support that feature at this stage. We could have a caveat in the documentation for this perhaps.

For whichever one you choose there is a validation step to check the you are able to perform the migration (ie: capabilities of the host). I can see in ovirt that we are showing the KVM version on hosts. This matches the package version of the qemu-kvm package (or the qemu-kvm-rhev package if installed?). Could we have some sort of a cutoff point where we know which versions of KVM (ie: qemu-kvm or qemu-kvm-rhev) support the storage migration feature, and if a version is found that doesn't match the required heuristics we just indicate the the validation process for the migration has failed? We could provide some small output indicating why it has failed. Does this sound like a reasonable approach? Is there any news on discussions with the CentOS people as to where a qemu-kvm-rhev package could be hosted (that we could then take advantage of)? If the hosting of an updated qemu-kvm (or qemu-kvm-rhev) is not sorted out in the short term, I did some quick calculations last night and it seems based on previous EL point releases (this is hardly scientific I know) we are not likely to see an EL 6.6 for another few months. We may see an EL7.0 before that timeframe. Ovirt can obviously jump on new EL releases to use as hosts in a new ovirt version but it seems this option is still some time away. ___ Users mailing list Users@ovirt.org http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users

[ovirt-users] 1009100 likely be be fixed for 3.5.0?
Hello. There are a few bugs that are related to live snapshots/storage migrations not working. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1009100 is one of them and is targeted for 3.5.0. According to the bug there is some engine work still required. I understand that with EL6 based hosts live storage migration will still not work (due to a too old QEMU version), but it should work with F20/21 hosts (and EL7 hosts when that comes online). Am I correct in assuming that in a cluster with both EL6 hosts and new hosts (described above) that ovirt will allow live storage migration on hosts that support it and prevent the option from appearing on hosts that do not? The possibility of getting a newer QEMU on EL6 appears to be tied up in the Centos virt SIG and their proposed repository, which appears to be moving quite slowly.

[ovirt-users] vm install via iso - optical drive eject behaviour?
Hello. I currently have oVirt 3.4.x set up. A colleague mentioned that he was having an issue where booting a VM with an attached iso and installing via cd/dvd does not allow the contents of the 'drive' to eject after the install. Sure enough, I have tested this myself and observed the same behaviour. Installing an EL/fedora iso image with a kickstart that has a 'reboot --eject' line in will eject the 'drive' after the installing when doing the exact same thing on VMware ESXi (and 'real' hardware). A suggestion was made that VMware emulates a laptop style optical drive that once the disk ejects the system cannot close the drive bay upon reboot - this is a manual operation. Does oVirt emulate a destop style drive where even if the disk is ejected, when a reboot occurs the drive will close? The long an short of this that even though the 'reboot --eject' option is in the kickstart, the iso image seems be be reattached when the VM reboots and the installs process starts again. An infinite loop effectively. I'm told this isn't an issue with an KVM/Qemu VM under virt-manager. Any suggestions as to how to solve this? I should point out that I cannot simply extract files and boot via PXE as this process is supposed to be testing an install process via generated media.

[ovirt-users] [RFI] oVirt 3.6 Planning
My vote is for storage load balancing/scheduler. Vmware's Vcenter has the concept of a 'storage cluster'. It's essentially a logical storage device. When you configure hosts/vms to use this device vcenter then works out which of the actual storage devices underneath this logical device is will send the storage requests to. This works out as a basic form of load balacing by alternating where the storage for new vms are created. This isn't particularly amazing, but what it does allow - with the highest end vcenter licensing anyway - is what Vmware calls 'storage distributed resource scheduling'. Much like we already have the ability to have a scheduler that moves the execution of vms around on hosts based on load, this does the same thing for the storage component of VM. Imagine having two configured storage locations under a 'storage cluster' and then having the ability to put one of the storage locations into 'maintenance mode'. The storage scheduler would then 'live storage migrate' all the storage for vms over to the other storage location. This would then allow the first storage location to be taken down for maintenance. This approach also allows storage to scale over time as more is added. The 'storage scheduler' can take inputs such as latency etc into account and manage the load across the 'storage cluster' to balance things out and make smart decisions so that the avaialble storage is utilized as best as it can be (ie: not overloading one storage location while the other location is mainly idle). I've done a bit a searching to see where Ovirt might be up to in this regard and what I've found seems to indicate that we are not anywhere near this capability just yet. An important prerequisite is having the hosts able to actually do a live storage migration. EL7 based hosts under ovirt 3.5 have this, as have Fedora 19 and 20 hosts. If the decision is made to use qemu-kvm-rhev on EL6 hosts - as has been talked about recently - then the host requirement for supporting live storage migration will be met. This then allows the idea of a storage scheduler to be futher considered. I think this is an important step in reaching feature parity with Vmware's vcenter product, and removes a key reason ovirt/rhev can't be considered in some instances. ___ Users mailing list Users@ovirt.org http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users

[ovirt-users] importing a qcow2 disk into ovirt 3.5?
I've just been doing some searching to try and work out how to get a vmware windows VM into ovirt. It seems that the newest virtv2v has dropped support for importing from an ESXi standalone machine - and now only works with vcenter. I didn't have any success with using the current virt-v2v attaching to an ESXi host. I've prepared the VM by first removing the vmware tools and have installled the various virtio drivers, as well as running the 'mergeide' registry file to enable IDE. I've used 'qemu-img' to convirt this VMDK file to QCOW2. It does not appear that there is a straightforward way for me to import this new qcow2 disk into ovirt. It seems my best option at the moment is to export the VMware VM as an OVA and then try and use a newer virt-v2v to import this into ovirt. Alternatively I could construct a VM in virt-manager and attach the converted qcow2 disk to it, and then use virt-v2v to import this into ovirt. Can someone suggest an alternative course of action? It seems strange that I can't just import a disk into ovirt, construct a VM and attach the disk. Is there anything int he works to make this process easier?

I've tried Joey's script above and it does the trick nicely. Having 'qemu-img', Joey's script referenced above plus engine-image-uploader on a machine allowed me to convert a VMDK file to QCOW2 and then push the resulant QCOW2 disk - wrapped in a basic VM - up to my ovirt export domain. From there I was able to import it as a template, and then create a machine based on that template. This was relatively simple. I'm looking forward to seeing some integration in the oVirt UI that may handle this in future. I have a VMware vcenter installation and often use the 'deploy from OVF template' menu item - which I just pass a http URI with the OVF/OVA and have it deploy a VM on my cluster. This would be great to see in ovirt.___ Users mailing list Users@ovirt.org http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users

Hi Daniel. Sorry for the late reply on this. I'm happy that this feature is currently documented in the wiki pages that I'd referenced above and is on the feature plan for 3.6. The workaround that was specified does what I need for now. Proper support in 3.6 will need to consider some other things, such as allowing attaching of disks to the sata interface on the q35 machine. 3.5s current workflow doesn't provide a way to cater for that. Perhaps allowing atachign 'virtio-scsi disks to this interface woudl work fine, but then there's issue with the naming. Additionally, there have been issues reported with live migration of machines that have the ICH9-AHCI controller enabled. Any RFE should handle these multifaceted issues - and others I'm not aware of - so given I don't understand all the ins and outs I'd prefer not to raise this. I'd be interested to hear Sandro's take on how this should likely proceed though.___ Users mailing list Users@ovirt.org http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users
[ovirt-users] storage offload capability
I have an ovirt 3.5 cluster set up with three el7 hosts. Storage is provided by two Fedora 20 machines and the connection is via multipath iscsi. The performance is quite good. The Fedora 20 iscsi targets are using the 'target' (ie: lio) framework, which support the various t.10 scsi offloads. Vmware supports a subset of these called VAAI and Microsoft has a subset called ODX. Cloning is one if the t.10 extensions that the lio target framework supports. I just tried cloning a vm and noticed that during the process there is a lof of traffic over the iscsi interfaces on the Storage Pool Manager host and the iscsi target machine. With proper support for t.10 cloning I shoudn't see any traffic on the isci links (or very minimal traffic) Is there some way to enable the storage offload functionality in Ovirt? If not, is this on the VDSM roadmap? If support were worked in this should be able to be applied to FCP connections as well. The lio target supports these offloads when acting as a Fiber Channel target also. I've asked this sometime back but there hasn't been much in the way of discussion on this users list or the devel list about this feature.___ Users mailing list Users@ovirt.org http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users
Re: [ovirt-users] storage offload capability
Thanks Itamar.I heard the other day that NFS v4.2 is supposed to contain server side copy, so it's possible that we might see this kind of support in one of more storage domain available to ovirt at some stage perhaps next year (in Fedora at least).Is this something that Gluster will also likely provide in a subsequent release once we have proper gfapi support? I'd be interested to hear if others on the list are clamouring for server side offload support in some form.

Yeah, of course and I think Grzegorz knows that. But for people in the testing, evaluating stage, making it a virtualized environment gives a greater flexibility. Easier to test without having to buy any metal. The Engine can be installed anywhere. The hosts - a bit more tricky. Does Azure expose virtualization capable CPU? Note you can use Lago[1], which we use as our CI tool (with ovirt-system-tests[2]) - which uses nested virtualization on top of a single host (my laptop with 8GB runs it). There's a hyper-converged suite and a regular suite there. They support Gluster, NFS, iSCSI and many many features can be evaluated on it. Y.

Re: [ovirt-users] ovirtmgmt network security
Yes you don't need ovirtmgmt on the VMs and I think if you use passthrough it will pin it to the host, probably better to create a DMZ logical network and attach the hosts in the cluster to the DMZ VLAN which will allow them to migrate and be setup for HA.

You can remove nic1. 'ovirtmgmt' network is not mandatory on the vm, you can run the vm with no vnics (vitrual nics) at all. The 'ovirtmgmt' network is used for communication between the engine and the host. Whether the vm using the 'ovirtmgmt' network or not won't affect the management capabilities. You said that the vm nic with 'ovirtmgmt' was automatically added when you added the vm. It is strange and shouldn't behave this way. Are you sure that in the add vm dialog you didn't choose it as the network of nic1? (you could leave this section in the dialog unfilled, it is not mandatory). BTW, if you don't want any VM to use the 'ovirtmgmt' network you can go to the edit network dialog of 'ovirtmgmt' (in the Network main tab) and uncheck the 'vm network' checkbox. Hope it helps you, Alona.

[ovirt-users] oVirt 4.1 change ovirtmgmt to enable VLAN tagging
Hello, We have an oVirt 4.1 cluster of 3 ovirt-nodes that currently on the management network don't have VLAN tagging enabled, we would like to enable VLAN tagging and so would be grateful of anyone had an information or experience doing this.

Re: [ovirt-users] 4.1 slot user portal vm creation
Hello, After further testing and restoring the engine to a test system it seems that even when listing templates using the web API it is very slow whereas listing VMs isn't slow. Even if using admin@internal and --header 'Filter:True' it's slow whereas without the header it's fast. As our test system has no storage or hosts is it possible to delete templates from the database as a restore from October doesn't seem to have the problem. Thanks, Paul S.

Still consider myself an oVirt newb. Only been using it for a few months but I'm liking it so far.

I'm still not convinced that virtualized HPC is a good idea for those who need compute performance. Though it is getting better than when I first heard someone say they were doing it at Supercomputing14! > What is for you the advantage on virtualizing a cluster? Um. As a 14year HPC admin, I still say none for compute. However, I am using oVirt to support a ton of my infrastructure services: Frontends, Log-ins, Scheduler, Database, LDAP, ect. I'm still learning how to set up something where my users can click a button on a webpage and get a VM spun up for a Graphical session on oVirt. I'm also still debating on the pros/cons for setting up oVirt VM's for things like JupyterNotebooks/RStudio Server/ect for the "I just want a web page to develop my code on and will submit to the cluster for the job run" crowd. It is a huge learning process for me. Most of the tools I've been using have worked great for years, but it is time to update and refresh those skills. Most of the provisioning tools I've used in the past don't work so well with oVirt. So now I'm exploring other tools. Foreman is and overcomplicated buggy headache, IMO. Every time I or a coworker has tried to get it going it has been a massive time-suck-crash-and-burn. Add to it that my current security team has HUGE issues with Puppet (don't get me started - I like Puppet) and building Foreman by hand with Salt is just an awful awful awful experience I wouldn't wish on an enemy...just no. :-) DigitalRebar was looking SUPER promising, but they recently went to a model that MUST chat out to the Internet or it breaks itself (a complete no-go for me). A complete shame. So I'm back to Cobbler which is simple and works fantastically well, but doesn't really have any integrations into oVirt (that I'm aware of). I'm probably going to have to write something with the two API's. > Or, having a class with PC or Raspberry is better to use LTSP or PiNet > or virtualize desktops? Can't say.

Re: [ovirt-users] Bulk move vm disks?
Hello Christian, I have recently moved around 700 VM disks between storage domains, you can select multiple disks in the GUI and move them. I did this on oVirt 3.6 most of these were dependant on template disks so I had to copy the template disks to the destination domain once all the dependant VM disks were moved I could remove the template disk from the source domain. If the VMs are up it automatically creates a snapshot, in version 3.6 these aren't automatically removed. Regards, Paul S.

[ovirt-users] Group permissions at cluster level
Hi, This could be a bug or a configuration issue, I'm not too sure yet. At the moment if I apply group permissions using the PowerUserRole to the cluster itself, then any VMs created in the user portal by users in that group don't get the UserVmManager role applied correctly. The user, authorization provider and namespace fields are all blank meaning that VM is visible to all users on the platform. If you do this with individual users' permissions though, it works as expected and they get the UserVmManager role assigned to their username on the VM.

[ovirt-users] oVirt / ROM images / PXE
Summary: To get oVirt-managed VMs to boot using PXE, I had to replace the rhel6-*.rom files with their ipxe equivalents. Setup: Nodes running CentOS 7, fully current. Engine 3.5.0.1 running on Fedora 19. Storage via NFS. 1GB ethernet network. DHCP server on separate subnet, relying on dhcp-relay switch settings. PXE is our preferred method for installing VMs. We rarely use templates. I recently upgraded our oVirt hypervisor nodes from Fedora 19 to CentOS 7 (where "upgrade" obviously implies a full OS re-installation). I failed to test creating VMs using PXE in this setup because -- and this is crucial -- it worked fine on our non-oVirt CentOS 7 hypervisors, which are managed using virsh and virt-install. So PXE booting a new VM failed. The symptom was the dreaded "dhcp connection timeout" at the seabios prompt. The timout would persist even when I pressed Ctrl-B and re-tried "dhcp net0" several times over the course of the next few minutes. Significantly, existing VMs experienced no DHCP troubles at all, in the sense that dhclient or its equivalent within the VM could get and renew leases as expected. I poked around the forward-delay settings on the oVirt-managed bridges, but they had the same charactistics of the bridges on our non-oVirt hypervisors. Lots of other network-oriented troubleshooting likewise failed. It got to the point that I took one of my oVirt nodes, removed it from oVirt, and reinstalled it with plain CentOS 7. Its physical connections and IP addresses stayed exactly the same. Without oVirt, virt-install used PXE without a hitch. I re-added that machine to the oVirt cluster, and PXE failed once again. I noticed that the BIOS PXE prompt was slightly different in the ovirt and non-ovirt environment, which led me to poke around the ROM images in /usr/share/qemu-kvm. I think the rhel6-*.rom images are those used by oVirt, while the pxe-*.rom images (actually symlinks into ../ipxe/) are used by, e.g., the local virt-install utility. My workaround is to replace the rhel6-*.rom files with the same symlinks used by the pxe-*.rom files: - %< - # short version of script, minus error checking cd /usr/share/qemu-kvm for NIC in e1000 ne2k_pci pcnet rtl8139 virtio; do mv rhel6-${NIC}.rom rhel6-${NIC}.rom.dist ln -s $(readlink pxe-${NIC}.rom) rhel6-${NIC}.rom done - %< - Now oVirt VMs can boot from PXE without any issue. I'm wildly curious about what's going on here. -- Paul Heinlein heinl...@madboa.com 45°38' N, 122°6' W___ Users mailing list Users@ovirt.org http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users

Each node has a pair of NICs in a LACP bond to a switch stack, running 802.1q on top of that, with several VLANs (only one VLAN has a DHCP server and a local CentOS repo, so I put VMs on that VLAN for install).

I'd done a bunch of tcpdump-ing (which went unmentioned in my post to the list). The DHCP requests are indeed making it to the server, and the server makes an OFFER, which never makes it back to VM ROM. To reiterate, however, DHCP clients from working VMs are able to get leases, so the network itself is functioning. The issue is definitely tied to the ROM that's used. So it might be helpful to look at the DHCP options, but the server is making OFFERs, so I'm not really sure what bits might be suspect. -- Paul Heinlein heinl...@madboa.com 45°38' N, 122°6' W___ Users mailing list Users@ovirt.org http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users

[ovirt-users] making use of an existing NFS exported iso repository
Hello.I've done some searching through the mail archives on this and haven't come up with a suitable answer as of yet.I have a 3.5 cluster with currently no iso domain attached.I am unable to add an iso domain of type 'ISO / Local on host' as the 'host' drop down box is empty. I thought about exporting an iso directory on the engine machine via NFS and then symlinking into it a mount to the actual iso store, but the 're-exporting an NFS mounted filesystem' issue bit me there. When I looked inside the directory it was empty on hosts that had mounted the new iso share. Is there a solution to this problem at the moment? I don't want to have to copy iso files somewhere else on the network. I notice there have been quite a few requests over the years for being able to use an existing iso repository.

I believe Sven is right; RunOnce is not relevant if you speak about reboot within the guest OS. I suppose that's the case. It is the same QEMU process then and the only difference might be in PXE bootrom, possibly a gPXE bug. We're still running oVirt Engine 3.5.0 on Fedora 19, but I recently upgraded our hypervisor nodes to CentOS 7 (and then 7.1). I've had no end of trouble with the boot rom images available for CentOS 7.1 nodes. There are two sets of files and one set of symlinks: * /usr/share/qemu-kvm/rhel6-*.rom -> actual files -> installed by qemu-kvm-rhev package -> the default images used by oVirt-installed qemu-kvm * /usr/share/ipxe/*.rom -> actual files -> installed by ipxe-roms-qemu package * /usr/share/qemu-kvm/pxe-*.rom -> symlinks pointing to ../ipxe/*rom images -> installed by qemu-kvm-rhev package I'll note that the qemu-kvm-rhev package is provided by the oVirt team; it's not part of the stock CentOS repository. In our environment, the rhel6-*.rom images won't accept responses from our DHCP server (dhcpd on CentOS 6), while the iPXE images fail when loading the 64-bit installation kernels for very new distributions: CentOS 7.1, Ubuntu 1410 and 1404, and Debian sid. In the end, I punted. I extracted the iPXE images from the Fedora 20 ipxe-roms-qemu and tasked cfengine with pushing them into place: 10222000.rom -> /usr/share/qemu-kvm/rhel6-pcnet.rom 10ec8029.rom -> /usr/share/qemu-kvm/rhel6-ne2k_pci.rom 10ec8139.rom -> /usr/share/qemu-kvm/rhel6-rtl8139.rom 1af41000.rom -> /usr/share/qemu-kvm/rhel6-virtio.rom 8086100e.rom -> /usr/share/qemu-kvm/rhel6-e1000.rom That's the only solution that works for me.
