It's me again, now less sleepy :-)
What I would like to know is if this sanlock permission issue is within the
oVirt engine, a problem on the NFS Server or on the oVirt node (it's a
2.5.3 from nightly). On the later, I can't access the console to issue
those commands - I don't even know if it's running SELinux at all :-)

 I managed to install the new oVirt Node on a 8 GB USB Pen. I created the
 NFS Share anf when I try to Run the VM I get the:
  M ubuntu is down. Exit message: internal error Failed to open socket to
 sanlock daemon: Permission denied.



 I did the setsebool mentioned on the wiki on the engine but still get the
 error. Is it necessary to configure anywhere else?

[Users] oVirt MCollective Agent

Hello guys,

I'm working on a cloud provisioning automatic tool and control (
http://www.kermit.fr) and I'm actually creating the module to control the
virtual farm based on oVirt (and RHEV 3.1 when will be out ;)).

That means I created a module to control oVirt using MCollective (
http://docs.puppetlabs.com/mcollective/).

You can find some information about the agent and the usage on my blog,
here: http://blog.mornati.net/2012/10/09/mcollective-ovirt-agent/
And source of the Mcollective oVirt agent here:
https://github.com/thinkfr/mcoplugins (ovirt.rb and ovirt.ddl).

Even if you are not interested in the agent, I think the ruby file could be
useful if you want to use the rbovirt API. I couldn't find any doc about
that API on the net, so I created the agent looking to ruby api sources (I
think any good project should have a little bit of documentation!!!).

Anyway, let me know if you are interested and if you have any suggestion
and idea about it.

Hello guys,

I'm trying to integrate an automatic provisioning to my oVirt installation.
Something like: API to create VM, NIC and Disk, tool to install SO (??).

I'm actually working around aeolus (after a useless test with koan), but
I'm not sure I can do what I want. I prefer not to use a PXE to get all
things really automatic (something cloud style).

Have you got any idea, suggestion and/or guide about it?

Thanks a lot

Re: [Users] ovirt-node install hangs

Hi,
yesterday I tried the new oVirt Node 2.5.3. I tried installing it without
the quiet flag but no luck. It hanged again and the kernel didn't show any
error on console (tty2).
Later will test without the rhgh flag.

Alex

BTW, now the hostname works on 2.5.3 :-) The network configuration is still
tricky... sometimes I have an Apply sometimes only a Back choice.

2012/10/9 Alexandre Santos santosa...@gmail.com

 It's working now :-)

 Thanks a lot all!

 Alex

 P.S. I haven't tried installing it on my SATA disk because I have there a
 Local Node already running but I'm going to try again on another one to see
 if I can send to you the error log.

there just one partition of type ee
  
  
   Is there any error displayed when kernel hangs at

   No, I think it's a kernel hang because the lights on the

   and I can't change to tty2, etc.. I even changed to tty2 and
  waited to
   see if there were some errors but nothing. I've read that
  tty8 was
   the logging console but no luck also.
   BTW, I tried with an IDE disk and the result was the same.
 
 
  Mh, okay.
  Could you try booting without the rhgb and quiet kernel
  arguments. I
  hope that some errors will be displayed on the screen so we
  get an idea
  about the problem.
 
  
If I use a 8 GB usb pen-drive instead of the SATA
  disk, the
installation comes to an end and I reboot but then
  I get
   some error
about not getting /dev/mapper/by-name/Root and the
  boot
   fails to a
dracut shell.
Any ideas?
  
  
   In the dracut shell, could you run blkid and post
  the results?
  
   I noticed that the USB Disk was named RootBackup instead of
  Root... I
   then rebooted and chose uninstall and then installed oVirt
  Node from
   scratch and now it worked.

 Glad it worked the second time.  There should be 4 partitions on the
 disk.

 Partition 1 is for UEFI or bios_boot depending on your machine type.
 Partition 2 and Partition 3 are Root and RootBackup.  So seeing a
 RootBackup is correct.  Not seeing a Root is incorrect.  If you rebooted
 the host in the middle of the install, or if the install hung for some
 reason, I can see that situation happening and see it working after
 uninstall/install.

   I can't activate Networking because I have that no
  hostname error
   mentioned in another post. I think it's related to that...

 You can't activate networking at all?  That is news to me.  The node
 should work perfectly fine with or without a FQDN.


 
 
  Yes, I've also seen the hostname error. And I've also seen
  some problems
  with the rootfs lately.

 Have you seen these issues with the 2.5.2 build?  Or only master branch
 builds?

  Could you provide a screenshot/dump of the console with that
  error?
 
  - fabian
 
 
  Ok! I'll send them as soon as possible.

As for rbovirt, I saw that indeed there isn't a lot of documentation on it.
You can have a look at deltacloud, which uses it as well, to see some usage
samples (although some are similar to what you already did).
I hope rbovirt will expand more, to include some new features that were added
in 3.1.

You can see the driver they wrote in:
https://github.com/apache/deltacloud/blob/master/server/lib/deltacloud/drivers/rhevm/rhevm_driver.rb

I'm currently working on testing EC2/CIMI API calls using deltacloud, and
pushing some fixes both in deltacloud in rbovirt, but there is indeed a lot of
work that needs to be done there.

Feel free to contact this mailing list, or the engine-devel mailing list if you
have issues, and we'll help.

Good luck!

oVirt exposes REST API that allows you to perform almost every operation in the 
oVirt engine, including provisioning, monitoring, performing different actions 
on the different entities, and etc.

We also have both SDK and CLI, which are based on this REST API.

Useful wiki pages:

That's storage.storage_mailbox.SPM_MailMonitor, polling for lvextend

storage.fileUtils.DirectFile.

The behavior is expected, but I cannot say that it is harmless.
The mailbox should be high on

dd is the way vdsm reads and writes data in its metadata luns of a
storage domain.

Each storage domain (except for nfs-based storage domains) has several
special luns for managing the storage domain operations, one of them is
the inbox which is used for communication between hosts about storage
domains write operations that should executed by the SPM host etc.

The only thing I'm not happy with is the usage of 'dd' instead of '/bin/dd'.

Hello Oved,

thanks for your response, but, for me, provisioning means Install
Operating System and other packages. Is it possibile to do this directly
using oVirt? I didn't find anything about it and that's the resason why I'm
looking for others tools.
By and I can just start oVirt VM in Run Once mode, and putting the mac
address in my PXE installation could start automatically. Problem is that I
need to modify my PXE to create an automatic system. That's the reason puu
me to look for anything else.

 created the NFS Share anf when I try to Run the VM I get the:
 M ubuntu is down. Exit message:
 internal error Failed to open
 socket to sanlock daemon:
 Permission denied.
 
 
 
 
 
 I did the setsebool mentioned on the wiki on the engine but
 still get the error. Is it necessary to configure anywhere
 else?

 Hi,
 yesterday I tried the new oVirt Node 2.5.3. I tried installing it
 without the quiet flag but no luck. It hanged again and the kernel
 didn't show any error on console (tty2).
 Later will test without the rhgh flag.

Default options? TUI install? Hardware? UEFI or legacy bios?

 
 Alex
 
 BTW, now the hostname works on 2.5.3 :-) The network configuration is
 still tricky... sometimes I have an Apply sometimes only a Back
 choice.

I *think* this is a feature of being registered to ovirt-engine.  Once
you are registered, you can't change the network through the TUI
anymore.  

If you're not registered with Engine, please elaborate a bit and I'll
try to figure out what is going on.

 It's working now :-)
 
 Thanks a lot all!

 P.S. I haven't tried installing it on my SATA disk because I
 have there a Local Node already running but I'm going to try
 again on another one to see if I can send to you the error
 log.

   No, I think it's a kernel hang because the

 changed to tty2 and

 I've read that

   BTW, I tried with an IDE disk and the

  Mh, okay.
  Could you try booting without the rhgb and

  hope that some errors will be displayed on

If I use a 8 GB usb pen-drive

 I reboot but then
  I get

Any ideas?

 thanks for your response, but, for me, provisioning means Install

well, if you want to select packages, etc., how would you present that to the

Isn't it essentially the same as installing a VM with whatever you need using

 By and I can just start oVirt VM in Run Once mode, and putting the
 mac address in my PXE installation could start automatically.
 Problem is that I need to modify my PXE to create an automatic
 system. That's the reason puu me to look for anything else.

Re: [Users] Virtual Machine Provisiong

Hello,

yep template could be a solution, but means we need to have machine that
are quite similar.
What I'd like to do, and presents to user, is a list of profiles
(Centos6, RHEL6, Fedora17, etc.) and any profile has a kickstart
associated that indicates iso source, which base packages should be
installed, etc.
That is exactly what we have today with a PXE installation, but the only
things is that I cannot invoke an automatic installation within a script.

To be clear, here yuo are what I'm traying in this moment:

And if someone has aeolus experience and suggestions is welcome :D

I always choose the troubleshooting option and then do an install with

the quiet flag.

Yes, TUI.

Hardware: this is an old MSI P35Neo MB with 4 GB RAM and a Xeon 3040. The

What you're saying makes sense. The problem I had was that my node was
booting with DHCP and the IP changed. When I got to the engine / web
administrator, my Host was not detected and I couldn't change it's IP, only
the hostname... On the TUI I can't change the IP because I'm registered but
can't change it also on the engine. Is this correct?

 Yes exactly. And the iso file could be a net address (for example

   thanks for your response, but, for me, provisioning means Install

  well, if you want to select packages, etc., how would you present that

  Isn't it essentially the same as installing a VM with whatever you need
 using the desired OS installation method/GUI and save it as a template? And
 then deploy the template and do minor customizations (e.g. hostname

 already have sysprep for Windows guests.

I tried but it does not work. For what I understood (but I didn't find lot
of doc about this) the 3 parameters are used to specify kernel information
but for an already installed machine. Means for example that the Kernel and
Initd location should already be on the vm disk. I tried putting a remote
location but my machine wouldn't start up... So I think I can't use the
kernel parameters in oVirt

PXE with kernel per each OS. Split it to some MAC groups  based on that, 
something like 00:00:00:00:00:xx would boot Fedora 17 kernel, 00:00:00:00:01:xx 
would boot Centos.
You manually manage the MAC assignemnet when you create the VM using CLI/SDK
Then customizable ks with desired packages in some network location, you point 
to these on kernel cmdline

Hi Marco,

From reading through what you're looking for, it seems a good fit for Aeolus.

As well as the points you mention (templates for creations of vm's, with
desired packages, etc), it does a lot more too:

 + VM launching/killing and monitoring

 + Supports several virtualization and cloud platforms simultaneously,
   so you build/launch/manage your VM's on (say) oVirt, VMware, and EC2.
   OpenStack support (amongst others) is currently being added.

 + You can build custom applications out of several vm templates,
   and have them correct pass configuration information amongst
   themselves when they launch. (IP addresses, dependency info, etc)

   For example, a 2-node Wordpress application, consisting of an Apache
   webserver vm template + a MySQL vm template).  Automatically sets
   itself up at launch:

 https://github.com/aeolusproject/audrey/tree/master/examples/wordpress

With the oVirt setup you're doing for those instructions, please try and
use oVirt 3.0 for the moment.  There's a bug in an rpm we rely on for our
oVirt support (vdsm floppyinject hook) that's broken with oVirt 3.1.

Hopefully we'll have that issue fixed late next week (enabling oVirt 3.1
support).  That doesn't help you right now though. ;)

If it's helpful, the Aeolus dev's are in the #aeolus freenode IRC channel,
and are generally pretty responsive requests for help.  i.e. RHEV-M
setup, etc.

We also have an aeolus-users mailing list, which is worth asking on if
you're not in to IRC. :)

  https://lists.fedorahosted.org/mailman/listinfo/aeolus-users

Does that help? :)

Regards and best wishes,

Justin Clift

 And if someone has aeolus experience and suggestions is welcome :D
 
 Marco
