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 Andrew,

 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.

 Ivan

I've seen that problem in other threads, the common denominator was nfs 
on top of gluster. So if you have this setup, then it's a known 
problem. Or you should double check if you hosts have different ids 
otherwise they would be trying to acquire the same lock.

Just after manual migration, then things went all to ... My strong

2014-06-06 Thread 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.

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

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

mount the storage domains because the storage domains are attached to 
the data center, but imho the cluster should be checked as well if

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

Interesting, I put it all into global maintenance. Shut it all down
for 10~ minutes, and it's regained it's sanlock control and doesn't
seem to have that issue coming up in the log.

 I've seen that problem in other threads, the common denominator was nfs
 on top of gluster. So if you have this setup, then it's a known problem. Or
 you should double check if you hosts have different ids otherwise they would
 be trying to acquire the same lock.

 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 Andrew,

 this is something that I saw in my logs too, first on one node and then
 on
 the other three. When that happend on all four of them, engine was
 corrupted
 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

 It also appears to occur on the other hosts in the cluster, except the

 shows up twice in the engine UI.

 The engine VM continues to run peacefully, without any issues on the
 host which doesn't have that error.

 Any ideas?

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

2014-06-06 Thread 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!

  able to learn in advance whether an all-in-one installation of oVirt
  would work on it. Unfortunately, returning it would be a hassle and I
  would not get a full refund for it. If there is no way to discover in

  an all-in-one oVirt installation known to work on any of the modern
  AMD offerings?
  
  Thanks!

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)

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

2014-06-06 Thread 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

   Is there some special trick to get the windows guest agent to
install properly? I have the service installed but it wont start.
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

You have to be in ovirt-guest-agent/ovirt-guest-agent and in this 
directoy is a setup.py (and also the README-windows.txt as mentioned in 
oVirt wiki) file. It worked for me the last time I did this - haven't

Easy workaround.

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

2014-06-06 Thread 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] Memory and swap issue

2014-06-06 Thread 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

  Hi Doron,
 
  I haven't purchased the Kabini-based system. I hoping that I would be
  able to learn in advance whether an all-in-one installation of oVirt
  would work on it. Unfortunately, returning it would be a hassle and I
  would not get a full refund for it. If there is no way to discover in
  advance whether oVirt will work on the system, I can take a risk. Is
  an all-in-one oVirt installation known to work on any of the modern
  AMD offerings?
 
  Thanks!
  iordan

 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.
