Hi Joseph,
Can you check the current OVF interval , as I set mine to 5 min :)
To check use (at the HostedEngine):
engine-config -g OvfUpdateIntervalInMinutes

Based on my history, I set:
engine-config -s OvfUpdateIntervalInMinutes=5

The problems I saw before:
1.  OVF was  updated  faster , but not for 5 min (still faster than the default 
value)
2. In my case OVF was corrupted,  so I just removed it. I'm not sure if OVF 
updates  if it is good (no coruption). Still it's worth trying


P.S: My OVF updated after 2-3 hours with the setti

[ovirt-users] Re: HostedEngine add more RAM

2020-05-18 Thread Joseph Goldman 

Using oVirt 4.3.7  - testing on 2 diff environments.

So editing via UI and waiting some days, or using the below process both 
still don't work.


What seems to happen is it does update the running HE with the new RAM 
amount while booted, but the OVF is not updating because as soon as the 
VM reboots its back to original value of 4GB, so the increase is only 
applicable for that current running session.


When editing in the UI it seems it does not save, I can go straight back 
into the VM info or edit screen and it has instantly reverted back to 
4096mb even though the VM itself now has 8 (trying to change from 4->8).


When saving, even the log says "Hotset memory: changed the amount of 
memory on VM HostedEngine from 4096 to 4096" so it seems the system is 
actively limiting my ability to update the HE - this happens both in 
global maintenance mode and no maintenance mode.


On a customers cluster - I am getting a lot of EngineBadHealth and the 
HA agent is constantly moving it around on me, I fear because of RAM, so 
I'd like the OVF to update so on fresh boot it can keep a new RAM config.


Any help appreciated.

Joe

From 4.2 you don't need to wait, you should be able to update the HE 
memory via UI:

1. Enable global maintenance
2. Change HE VM memory via UI
3. On the HE, run: # hosted-engine --vm-shutdown
4. Wait for HE VM to be down: # hosted-engine --vm-status
5. Start HE VM: # hosted-engine --vm-start
6. Disable global maintenance

Have you tried  to add  more  RAM via UI and leave the VM for a
day /even 2/ for the OVF to be updated ?

I know that there  is an option to force  faster OVF updates , but
it's still  slower than the defined frequency.
