Hi,
I'm a student currently doing my final study project based around Ovirt.
I played a lot with Ovirt to have an overview of what could or could not
be done, but I still have a few questions and stuff I want to clarify.
My project consist of a HA architecture using Ovirt, powered by 8
reasonably powerful servers (4 x Quad core Opteron, 32Go RAM, 2x10k RPM
HDD) equipped with 2 NIC each.
I followed this tutorial to use Ovirt with GlusterFS :
http://community.redhat.com/blog/2014/05/ovirt-3-4-glusterized/
Worked well !
I installed 2 self hosted engine on 2 different servers and a GlusterFS
using 2 other servers.
But since we had only 2 x 1Gb NIC per server, we decided to go with
bonding and VLAN to separate each networks inspired by this blog post :
http://captainkvm.com/2013/04/maximizing-your-10gb-ethernet-in-rhev/
Unfortunately, it seems like Ovirt 3.4 does not support installing
self-hosted engine on bond + vlan. I tried 3.5 but there were to much
bug to be usable and the project is set to be deployed in 2 months.
should be available via:
http://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/c/29730/
?
A colleague suggested me a workaround using OpenvSwitch between Ovirt
and NIC bond to "translate tagged packet into non tagged packet" and
hide the bond from Ovirt. Does this have a chance to work ?
Since the GlusterFS is accessed by NFS, I was able to bond the two
servers.
A few questions :
- What is the purpose of ovirtmgmt network ? I did a lot of search by
haven't found any clear explanation. Does it need to be publicly
accessible or a private ip is fine too ?
just what engine used to communicate to hosts.
also, by default, the display network and vm network.
- Is the display network used for SPICE/VNC connection ?
yes.
- How do Ovirt differentiate VM network from a storage network ? They
both have the same vm role in the interface. Both networks could
(should) be on private ip range right ?
that depends on you deploying them on different networks?
- How can I add the storage network after (or before, would be better)
self hosted engine is installed ? (Since self hosted engine is stored on
Gluster, I will loose connection to the engine)
configure it on host B. move hosted engine to host B. configure it on
host A?
- Using self hosted engine, does all my nodes need to be installed with
hosted-engine --deploy, or can I have only 2 self hosted engine nodes
and 4 classic nodes ?
you can have 2 self hosted and 50 classic nodes as well.
no need to match hosted engine to the entire cluster (nor is hosted
engine tested with being deployed on 50 hosts...)
- I'm trying to cleanly re-install the second hosted engine after some
experiments, but the behavior is strange :
[ INFO ] Stage: Transaction commit
[ INFO ] Stage: Closing up
To continue make a selection from the options below:
(1) Continue setup - engine installation is complete
(2) Power off and restart the VM
(3) Abort setup
Isn't this supposed to give me information to connect to the vm so i can
install the engine ?
sandro/didi?
Thanks a lot for this truly well made software !
thank you for using it.
