Re: [Users] installation failed on cluster host
Hi, I think I can answer this. oVirt relies on a working yum for this kind of installation. And it's not a yum issue at all, but a configuration issue on your side. If you have a proxy, configure your yum.conf accordingly. Information how to do this, can be found e.g. here: https://www.centos.org/docs/5/html/yum/sn-yum-proxy-server.html If this doesn't work and oVirt doesn't respect yum.conf (which I doubt) you found a bug and should open a BZ for it. HTH Am 16.01.2014 08:38, schrieb William Kwan: problem resolved. It is a Yum issue. Hosts are behind a http proxy. I wonder if ovirt should add some options during or after engine-setup.

[Users] Ovirt in the cloud
Is it possible to use leased dedicated servers as ovirt nodes? In my mind it seems likely, but input from the community would be appreciated. I'm envisioning a controller node running on a dedicated server leased from a provider and multiple compute nodes running on several different providers spread out over the net. I don't require any migration capability for the purposes of this. I manage a large farm of servers, and if this works like I think it would, I believe it would speed up deployment of new servers and also provide a better central management platform.

Re: [Users] Ovirt in the cloud
Hi Rob, Short answer, it really depends on your provider. But generally using a single good provider makes life easier and cheaper. I just had a client where we failed to implement any high available vm platform due to the way they had set up their uplinks. We had to use an api to do ip address failover but even then it was not possible to move a subnet to a different machine. KVM/IMPI/DRAC was not possible and no fencing devices available. Long answer you have to think about all the things just like you would when building the cloud on your own hardware Things you have to consider: * What kind of storage will you use local/glusterfs, iSCSI SAN, NFS and how will this be connected to the nodes * How will you synchronize the storage between multiple providers/datacenter? What kind of interconnect will you have between providers? What will this cost me (not cheap!!!)? * What kind of interconnect is available between nodes * How will you manage ip failover between providers (BGP, multicast, ?) * What kind of connection do you have between the management server and the ovirt nodes (ipsec, openvpn,dedicated line, * What are my SPOF's (Single Point Of Faillure) * What kind of fencing devices are available * Do the different providers have the same setup or is the hardware different (predictability of performance)? * Will you have to share infrastructure with other clients? * What is your maximum acceptable failover/migration time between providers? * I can go on for a couple of pages Kind regards, Jorick Astrego Netbulae B.V.

Re: [Users] Attach NFS storage to multiple datacenter
In order to 'migrate' VMs between data centers, you can use an export domain. You can create an export domain using the UI. You just have to specify 'Export / NFS' under: 'Domain Function / Storage Type'. Attach this export domain to the data center you would like to export the VM from. Then, you'll be able to export your VMs to that domain (via 'Virtual Machines' tab on UI, click on 'Export'). When you finish migrating all the VMs from that data center, put the export domain in Maintenance, Detach it from the first DC and attach it to the second DC. When the domain is active on the second DC, you'll be able to see your exported VMs on 'VM import' sub-tab under the export storage domain. Import the VMs to the second DC. Then you're done.

I would like to say that I was able to pass from 3.3.2 to 3.3.3beta1 without any downtime as far as VMs are concerned and my GlusterFS based DC. I also put my line inside wiki testing page. My setup is composed by a fedora 19 server used as engine (actually a vSphere VM) + 2 Fedora 19 server used as Hypervisors (BL685 G1 blades). 3 VMs configured: CentOS 5.10, CentOS 6.4, Fedora 20 Starting point is Fedora 19 with stable repo and a GlusterFS Datacenter. Gluster version on the two nodes is 3.4.2-1.fc19 and I have set quorum policy this way: gluster volume set gvdata cluster.quorum-type none This lets me maintain DC and VMs active also with only one host active at a time. Steps done: - enable beta repo on engine - engine-setup -- proposed to update ovirt-engine-setup package - yum update ovirt-engine-setup - engine-setup -- ok, downloaded new packages and setup - 1 day test with new engine and keep hosts the same version - migrate all 3 VMs to the currently SPM host (host2) - put non SPM host1 in maintenance - enable beta repo on host1 - stop vdsmd on host1 (possibly not necessary...) - yum update on host1 - merge between /etc/vdsm/logger.conf and created .rpmnew NOTE: in December I previously changed DEBUG entries to INFO in this file. In 3.3.3 they are yet set to DEBUG, but there is a new entry for ha engine - it could be useful to put this note in release notes if one simply updates host and doesn't redeploy it (in this last case I don't know if a yum remove / yum install is made or the same problem is present...) In my case before merge this was the situation: # diff logger.conf logger.conf.rpmnew 2c2 keys=root,vds,Storage,metadata --- keys=root,vds,Storage,metadata,ovirt_hosted_engine_ha 11c11 level=INFO --- level=DEBUG 16c16 level=INFO --- level=DEBUG 22c22 level=INFO --- level=DEBUG 32a33,38 [logger_ovirt_hosted_engine_ha] level=ERROR handlers= qualname=ovirt_hosted_engine_ha propagate=1 43c49 level=INFO --- level=DEBUG So after the merge I have the new config file but with the INFO settings instead of DEBUG. - shutdown -r of host1 - activate host1 in webadmin gui - migrate all 3 VMs to the new version host1 - some tests accessing consoles - select host1 as SPM in webadmin gui before working on update for host2; wait and see -- ok - put host2 in maintenance - enable beta repo on host2 - stop vdsmd on host2 - yum update on host2 - merge new /etc/vdsm/logger.conf - shutdown -r of host2 - activate host2 in webadmin gui - migrate all 3 VMs to the new version host2 - test access to consoles Bye, Gianluca ___ Users mailing list Users@ovirt.org http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users

Well, I'll be creative and I'll suggest you the following idea. There is an option to add a glance image server to RHEV as an external provider. This new feature allows you to export disks (not VMs) to the glance image repository while the VM which the disk is attached to is running. As for the VM configuration (which is not part of the disk that will be exported to the glance server), there is an option (which was introduced in RHEV3.3) to create a VM from a configuration file (OVF) of another VM.

Hi William, You can have several logical networks on the same interface. If ovirtmgmt is not a vm network you can even mix tagged and untagged networks (if not, you can't mix). You don's have to do anything besides creating the logical networks in ovirt and assign them to the interface, ovirt takes care of creating the virtual interfaces it needs. What you can't do is have more than one logical network per vlan (I think there's a feature request on this, I know I've asked it on the list:-) ).

you can decrease the downtime by:
- live snapshot VM1;
- clone VM1 from snapshot to VM1-NEW (during this process VM1 is
uprunning);
- export VM1-NEW to export domain (VM1 uprunning);
- detach export domain from old DC;
- attach export domain to new DC;
- import VM1-NEW (VM1 still uprunning);
- start VM1-NEW on single mode and configure;
- stop apps from VM1 (downtime);
- optionally sync app data from VM1 to VM1-NEW (downtime);
- start apps on VM1-NEW (apps uprunning on new DC).
- stop VM1 on old DC.

Not quite right. I have virt-viewer-x86-0.5.6.msi or virt-viewer-0.5.6.exe installed on my windows 7 pc and that works fine with ovirt-3.2/3 or higher. Opens both vnc and spice consoles. The latest virt-viewer-x86-0.5.7.msi seems to be missing remote-viewer.exe so does indeed not work on windows.

[Users] Networking. Hosted Setup. All in One Host. Hetzner
Greetings, I'm writing here as to share some of my findings about hosting with Hetzner. All in one setups on single remote host can be tricky. Provider mounted an extra /29 subnet to the main host but none is routed by default and host has to become router itself. At the same time single mistake in bridging configuration and lost access results in need for re-bootstrap. It's still tempting to try and with many trials I eventually got to see guests talking to the net. Scenario 1: Working. Package bridge-utils, oVirt engine, setup bridge, VDSM, add host to engine, add routing to host routing table. Networking by trial and error. Still something is not right. Occasionally on ping out I'm getting Redirect Host (New nexthop messages. http://styk.tv/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/oVirtHosted1_almost_working.png Scenario 2: Dreaming. Private network with private router/dhcp/nat. Private 10.0.0.0/24 network. No problems with routing as gateway 10.0.0.1 would be on the same subnet. Thought of using pfSense but can't seem to bring up an instance with two network cards on two different networks. I thought this would be easy. Go to Networks, click create new network, type private, save ok. then go to new instance. point at iso, attach two network cards. save ok. Launch Host did not satisfy internal filter Network No idea what that is. Maybe I don't understand how this works. I even tried removing ovirtmgmt network and leaving private network by itself. Tried with all 3 network card types (rtl8139/e1000/VirtIO) http://styk.tv/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/oVirtHosted2_preferred.png Either way if you have a minute or two please take a look at both attached diagrams. Deliberately making it difficult by forcing all elements on single box in hosted environment. Maybe there is a way to have this all installed with Neutron or vSwitch on the same box or is that pushing it?

Re: [Users] Attach NFS storage to multiple datacenter
sounds like a very creative use for the provider 3.3 feature and I like the way you think :) basically, it will require installing an all-in-one openstack but if downtime is such a big issue it could be a good solution...

This new feature allows you to export disks (not VMs) to the glance image repository while the VM which the disk is attached to is running. As for the VM configuration (which is not part of the disk that will be exported to the glance server), there is an option (which was introduced in RHEV3.3) to create a VM from a configuration file (OVF) of another VM.

[Users] New user to oVirt, and I haz a sad so far...
Hi all, ready for a story? (well, more of a rant, but hopefully it will be a good UX tale, and may even be entertaining.) Had one of the groups come to me at work this week and request a OpenStack setup. When I sat down and discussed their needs, it turns out that they really only need a multi-hypervisor setup where they can spin up VMs for their research projects. The VMs should be fairly long-lived, and will have persistent storage. Their other request is that the storage should be local on the hypervisor nodes (they plan to use Intel servers with 8-10 2TB drives for VM storage on each node.) They desire this in order to keep the VM I/O local - they do not have a SAN of any sort anyhow, and they do not care about live migration, etc. In any case, knowing that they did not want to afford a VMware setup (which is what I'm used to using), I proposed using oVirt to fill their needs, having heard and read up on it a bit (It's open-source VMware, right?) even though I had not used it before (I have however made single-node KVM hypervisors for their group before, utilizing Open vSwitch, libvirt, virt-manager etc., so I'm not completely ignorant of KVM/libvirt etc.) In any case, I took one of their older servers which was already running CentOS 6.5, installed the requisite packages on it, and in short order had an engine server up and running (oVirt 3.3.2). That seems to have been the easy part :-/ Now came the installation of a hypervisor node. I downloaded and burned an ISO of the latest oVirt node installer (ovirt-node-iso-3.0.3-1.1.vdsm.fc19.iso) and tried to install it on one of their target Intel servers. On the 1st try I got to the end of the setup TUI, invoked the Install link, and was promptly thrown an error (sorry, but forgot what it was, something like press X for a command prompt, or Reboot.) No problem, I rebooted, selected booting off the CD again, waited until the TUI came up, and when I tried to move past the first screen, it threw me out to a login prompt. OK, enough of that (the server takes a long time to reboot, and then boot off the CD) - I then thought I would try it on a VMware Workstation VM (yes, I get the irony, but VMware wkstn can handle nested virt, so it's a great testbed platform for OpenStack, etc.) because that would install a heck of a lot faster. That went a lot better - got the oVirt node 3.0.3 installed on the first try. More pain was soon to follow, however. I logged in and started configuring the node. The TUI was easy enough - much like an ESXi node ;) I set the NIC to IPv4 static, entered in the correct IP info, registered a DNS name for the IP I had assigned, and then tested pinging the engine, all was good. I then moved on to the section where you define the engine. I entered in the FQDN of the engine, verified the key fingerprint, and clicked the Save and Register link at the bottom. That seemed to work, so I completed the rest of the TUI, and then looked at the oVirt engine web UI. There was my new node, ready for authorization. I clicked the link to authorize it, and after a while, the UI came back with Install Failed status. Hmmm. So I went back to the node's TUI, and now some of the screens said that the IP addr was unconfigured? I went then to the Network screen, and sure enough, the NIC at the bottom showed Unconfigured. WTF? So I went and entered in the correct info back in the IPv4 section, and then arrowed down to the Save link and clicked it - and the next screen said something like No info needing changes, nothing to do. Wh? Went back to the network setup screen, NIC still showing Unconfigured even though the IPv4 info still was there. I did a ping test at this point from the Ping link on the network setup page, and what do you know - I could still ping IP's (the engine, the default gw, etc.) But as I moved around the TUI, other screens still said that the network was unconfigured. Went back to the Web UI of the engine, put the host in Maint, then tried to Activate it, still no go - Install Failed. Even though I had configured the node to allow remote access and set a password, and also verified via nmap that TCP port 22 on the node was indeed listening, when I tried to SSH into the node as admin, I immediately got a connection closed message, so that failed as well. Went back to the node's network setup page, set the IPv4 to Disabled, saved it, then went back and set it back to Static then re-entered the IPv4 info. Clicked the Save link, it went thru the setup again, came back with a success, verified with ping etc. that networking was working on the node. The engine web UI still said that it could not connect to the node however. So I put the node in Maint, and then removed it. I went back to the node, went to the Engine setup page, and re-did the screen to define the engine on the node. I notice that after I did this, however, that the node screens went back to saying that the network was unconfigured. Grr. But the node was back in the

Wh? Went back to the network setup screen, NIC still showing Unconfigured even though the IPv4 info still was there. I did a ping test at this point from the Ping link on the network setup page, and what do you know - I could still ping IP's (the engine, the default gw, etc.) But as I moved around the TUI, other screens still said that the network was unconfigured.
