Re: [ovirt-users] VM HostedEngie is down. Exist message: internal error Failed to acquire lock error -243

[Andrew Lau]

Ignore that, the issue came back after 10 minutes.

I've even tried a gluster mount + nfs server on top of that, and the
same issue has come back.

 Hi Ivan,

 Thanks for the in depth reply.

 I've only seen this happen twice, and only after I added a third host
 to the HA cluster. I wonder if that's the root problem.

 Have you seen this happen on all your installs or only just after your
 manual migration? It's a little frustrating this is happening as I was
 hoping to get this into a production environment. It was all working
 except that log message :(

 Thanks,
 Andrew

Hi Francesco,

Thank you so much! I really appreciate it. I already ordered the parts
taking a small risk. Yes, this system promises to be so cool and
quiet, that I can practically use it as a pillow :).

Cheers!

Re: [ovirt-users] Memory and swap issue

[Doron Fediuck]

Jeff,
I'd appreciate to get some more info on this;

First of all which ovirt version are you using?
Next, I'd appreciate if you can restore the no swap (swapoff)
and run on the host:
vdsClient -s 0 getVdsCaps

Then share the output with us.

Generally speaking swap is really bad for VMs, so we should be fine
without it. However when calculating the needed amount of memory we
reserve safety margins for various components such as vdsm itself.
We published the calculation here: 
http://www.ovirt.org/Sla/FreeMemoryCalculation
So feel free to add the numbers or share the data with us.

Thanks for the feedback,
Doron

[ovirt-users] [ANN] oVirt 3.5.0 Second Alpha is now available for testing

[Sandro Bonazzola]

The oVirt team is pleased to announce that the 3.5.0 Second Alpha is now
available for testing.

Feel free to join us testing it!

You'll find all needed info for installing it on the release notes page,
already available on the wiki [1].

A new oVirt Live iso is already available for testing[2] including all 
available updates from CentOS.
An oVirt Guest Tools iso is now available too[3].

A new oVirt Node build will be available soon as well.

Please note that mirrors will need a couple of days before being synchronized.
If you want to be sure to use latest rpms and don't want to wait for the 
mirrors,
you can edit /etc/yum.repos.d/ovirt-3.5.repo commenting the mirror line and
removing the comment on baseurl line.

Known Issues
You can't add hosts to 3.5 clusters until a new VDSM build with 3.5 
compatibility level will be released (All in One won't work).

Re: [ovirt-users] Spam Re: Spam Re: Spam Windows guest agent

[Bob Doolittle]

Just gave this a try on Windows Server 2008 R2, and it worked almost 
perfectly!


The one small problem I had: 
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1105624
Service was configured with Type Manual rather than Autostart, so did 
not restart upon reboot.

Easy workaround.

Thanks guys - this will be an enormous help! :)

-Bob

P.S. On my system the "What would you like me to do with this CD?" 
AutoPlay dialog has a goofy option - "Import photos and videos (Using 
Dropbox)". Not sure if that's something you can control.

Cool, didn't know that there's already an ISO available.

I just tried it and oVirt Guest Tools Installers says "Unsupported 
Windows version" for my Windows Server 2012 R2 vm. Is this known or 
should I open a bugreport for this?

You have to be in ovirt-guest-agent/ovirt-guest-agent and in this

Found the problem, downloaded the zip file using the the button on 
github. It doesn''t include the setup.py :-(

Just copying the parent dir to 'Program Files' and execute what is in
the README will work though. Thats how I have done it all the time.

Re: [ovirt-users] Spam Re: Spam Windows guest agent

[René Koch]

Hi,

installing is quite simple:

1. Install SPICE Windows guest tools from 
http://www.spice-space.org/download.html -> this also install 
virtio-serial driver, which are required for the next steps


2. Follow this guide: http://www.ovirt.org/OVirt_Guest_Agent_For_Windows

If you can't start the service the issue may be because of missing 
virtio-serial drivers. If you're sure they are installed, reboot the vm 
as Windows sometimes requires a reboot for drivers to work properly.


If you want single-sign-on feature please let me know how you managed to 
do this, as I don't know it myself...



Regards,
René

Perhaps someone made a youtube video of the install. I saw some prior
posts where other were having issues but when they asked for helped they
got the old RTFM answer. The problem is the FM seems to be missing some
steps. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

So the first question is: why should these hosts mount the storage

possible to run virtual machines on these hosts. I think they try to
mount the storage domains because the storage domains are attached to
the data center, but imho the cluster should be checked as well if
virtualization is enabled.

So I was thinking of moving the GlusterFS cluster to a new data
center without storage domains, but this is impossible as Gluster
volumes are created. The only possibility would be to remove the
Gluster volume.

So do you have any idea how I can solve this issue? I mean the
Gluster volume is working fine, but it's really disturbing that I get
an error message every 5 minutes.


Just to let you know you're not the only one with this problem. I have
had it too a couple of times and still don't know the right
incantation to get rid of it. I have the same setup: 2 clusters,
storage and virt, 2 nodes each, one datacenter. Currently on 3.4.1 and
had the problem on the 3.2/3 series. For me it seemed related to
upgrading but that could be just chance. It might as well be related
to a complete shutdown/restart of all machines ( this test setup is
not behind a ups which gives some rare opportunities to troubleshoot
problems :-) )



Yes, this is a bug I would think. For a gluster only cluster, the
storage domain is not relevant.

Could you log a bug with the error attached, and we will try to fix
this. If it's a simple enough fix, we could backport it to 3.4


Done: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1105513

I used component vdsm, but maybe it should belong to webadmin - I'm a 
bit unsure which component is responsible for this.

Hi everyone,

I'm playing with a new AMD Kabini host, to see how it behaves as very 
low-cost[1],
low-consumption hypervisor host[2]. I'm still installing the node, so I don't
have actual data yet.

According to libvirt, the host present itself as Opteron_G3.

Plese find attached the output from
virsh (1.2.5) capabilities (caps.txt)
lscpu (lscpu.txt)
lspci (lspci.txt)


+++

[1] You can get a CPU + mainboard with ~85 EURO or even less, and it will 
consume
25W fully loaded, much less when idle. The fan is close to inaudible.
[2] I'll put together a document/wiki page with my findings and experience
afterwards.

[ovirt-users] Installation of ovirt-node-iso rpm on oVirt Engine

[Faltermeier, Florian]

Hi all,

I'm planning to update/reinstall my ovirt 3.4 hypervisors via the update 
mechanism that provided in the ovirt-engine.
I red the documentation about Ovirt Node http://www.ovirt.org/Category:Node

The first topic Upgrading -> Through ovirt Engine tells me that I have to 
install the "ovirt-node-iso rpm".
So where can I find an actual RPM package? I've googled around already but  I 
didn't found any useful hints.

Thank you!

Florian

 Hi Andrew,

 beyond repair.

 First of all, I think that message is saying that sanlock can't get a
 lock
 on the shared storage that you defined for the hostedengine during
 installation. I got this error when I've tried to manually migrate the
 hosted engine. There is an unresolved bug there and I think it's related
 to
 this one:

 [Bug 1093366 - Migration of hosted-engine vm put target host score to
 zero]
 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1093366

 This is a blocker bug (or should be) for the selfhostedengine and, from
 my
 own experience with it, shouldn't be used in the production enviroment
 (not
 untill it's fixed).

 Nothing that I've done couldn't fix the fact that the score for the
 target
 node was Zero, tried to reinstall the node, reboot the node, restarted
 several services, tailed a tons of logs etc but to no avail. When only
 one
 node was left (that was actually running the hosted engine), I brought
 the
 engine's vm down gracefully (hosted-engine --vm-shutdown I belive) and
 after
 that, when I've tried to start the vm - it wouldn't load. Running VNC
 showed
 that the filesystem inside the vm was corrupted and when I ran fsck and
 finally started up - it was too badly damaged. I succeded to start the
 engine itself (after repairing postgresql service that wouldn't want to
 start) but the database was damaged enough and acted pretty weird
 (showed
 that storage domains were down but the vm's were running fine etc).
 Lucky
 me, I had already exported all of the VM's on the first sign of trouble
 and
 then installed ovirt-engine on the dedicated server and attached the
 export
 domain.

 So while really a usefull feature, and it's working (for the most part
 ie,
 automatic migration works), manually migrating VM with the hosted-engine
 will lead to troubles.

 I hope that my experience with it, will be of use to you. It happened to
 me
 two weeks ago, ovirt-engine was current (3.4.1) and there was no fix
 available.

 Regards,

 Ivan

[ovirt-users] Issue / strange behavior with GlusterFS nodes

[René Koch]

Hi,

I have the following oVirt setup:
2 storage hosts with GlusterFS (replicated) - will be extended to 4 
hosts (distributed-replicated)

4 virtualization hosts
1 datacenter
2 clusters (1 only for virtualization, 1 only for GlusterFS)

The strange thing is now:
One of the 2 GlusterFS hosts (these hosts and the Gluster volumes are 
managed by oVirt) fails to mount one of the storage domains, but I can 
mount it manually.


So the first question is: why should these hosts mount the storage 
domains? They are in a cluster without virtualization, so it's not 
possible to run virtual machines on these hosts. I think they try to 
mount the storage domains because the storage domains are attached to 
the data center, but imho the cluster should be checked as well if 
virtualization is enabled.


So I was thinking of moving the GlusterFS cluster to a new data center 
without storage domains, but this is impossible as Gluster volumes are 
created. The only possibility would be to remove the Gluster volume.


So do you have any idea how I can solve this issue? I mean the Gluster 
volume is working fine, but it's really disturbing that I get an error 
message every 5 minutes.


Thanks!

Re: [ovirt-users] VM HostedEngie is down. Exist message: internal error Failed to acquire lock error -243

[Andrew Lau]

Is this related to the NFS server which gluster provides, or is
because of the way gluster does replication?

There's a few posts ie.
http://community.redhat.com/blog/2014/05/ovirt-3-4-glusterized/ which
are reporting success with gluster + hosted engine. So it'd be good to
know, so we could possibly try a work around.

Cheers.
