Re: [ovirt-users] oVirt Engine Virtual Appliance for 3.5 is ready for testing [ISSUES]
- Original Message - In addition, I've uploaded this image to the oVirt public glance repository, under the name oVirt 3.5 Appliance - For testing purposes only (Fedora). So, if you already have an oVirt environment, and you would like to play with the new one using this appliance, all you need to do is import it as a template, and create VMs from it. (see http://ovedou.blogspot.co.il/2014/03/importing-glance-images-as-ovirt.html for details on how to do that). Haven't tested this image yet, but I'm importing it as a template as we speak :-) Hey, I just discovered that the appliance has issues and not root password can be set.

Please note that the client is actually connecting to _host_ IP, not to VM IP address. The VM may be configured with no NIC (so w/o any network connectivity) and you'll still be able to connect to it using Spice (or VNC). Only RDP needs connectivity to the VM. When they click on the console access button, they are unable to connect to the VM. I believe this is because it using attempting a direct connection instead of proxying through the portal. see: http://www.ovirt.org/Features/Spice_Proxy more tech details also from rhev docs: https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Virtualization/3.4/html/Administration_Guide/chap-Proxies.html#sect-SPICE_Proxy I don't remember if it is ok and works to set up the squid part on engine itself In principle, there's no reason why it shouldn't work. ovirt-engine friends don't care about squid and squid doesn't care about the rest of the system as long as the machine has enough power/bandwidth to run both. but I think it would be cleaner design to put it on another dedicated infrastructure host, perhaps already existing in your infra for similar reasons.

Re: [ovirt-users] [RFI] oVirt 3.6 Planning
Hi, I think this question did not get answered so far and I think this is a crucial point. While it's cool you can integrate ovirt with openstack I don't think it should be necessary when you want certain features. Because, like Daniel wrote: Why should I install ovirt if I need multiple openstack components anyway? I could just go on and deploy openstack and not use ovirt? But I also have the same opinion as Daniel: openstack ist too big to deploy for traditional vm workloads. So it would be much appreciated if this questions could get answered.

Re: [ovirt-users] oVirt Node 3.5 20140912 for the TestDay
Hey Daniel, - Original Message - Hello Fabian, I do not know if the feature has made it - can I run a hosted engine with node? Yep - That is one of the things under test :) The iso below includes hosted engine support, that means, Node contains a page which you can use to start the hosted engine setup. Please note that the appliance which is intended for hosted-engine (ovirt-engine-appliance) is currently broken, but hosted-engine setup can be run without using that appliance. You just need to setup your own OS and oVirt. - fabian Thanks!

[ovirt-users] OVIRT-3.5-TEST-DAY-3: replace XML-rpc with JSON-rpc
Hi everyone of this test day I played with the new JSON-rpc transport, which is enabled by default. I set up from scratch two hypervisors running on RHEL 6.5, while Engine was running on F19. I created everything from scratch and tested all the flows I known good enough, including less-then-common stuff. The list includes creating storage domains, VMs, hotplug/unplug disks, snapshots, migration, hibernation and dehibernation. On top of that, I prepared an environment to run more tests, that included create 200 VMs, started/stopped 100 of them to test. I kept an eye on the logs other than Engine. Everything I tried went OK, and logs look good to me. I run in a few hiccups, which I mention for the sake of completeness: - VDSM refused to start or run VMs initially: libvirt config included relics from past environment on the same box, not JSON-rpc fault. Fixed with new config and (later) a reboot. - Trying recovery, Engine took longer than expected to sync up with VDSM. I have not hard data and feeling is not enough to file a BZ, so I didn't. - Still trying recovery, one and just one time Engine had stale data from VDSM (reported two VMs as present which actually aren't). Not sure it was related to JSON-rpc, can't reproduce, so not filed a BZ. Since I need to continue profiling anyway (better late than never I guess), I include a couple of test to see if JSON-rpc makes any difference to JSON-rpc. Results will be posted on de...@ovirt.org and/or on the oVirt wiki. -- Francesco Romani RedHat Engineering Virtualization R D Phone: 8261328 IRC: fromani ___ Users mailing list Users@ovirt.org http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users

[ovirt-users] OVIRT-3.5-TEST-DAY-3: backup/restore and disaster recovery
Hi, today I had to test how to recover a broken system using backup/restore tool [1] or disaster recovery procedure [2]. Unfortunately I really had a lot of troubles just trying to setup my test environment so no good news on that side. I was using two host: one for the engine, the other as an hypervisor. Both with latest fedora 19 updates. For a fault of mine I add oVirt 3.5 RC2 repository on the engine host but I forgot to do the same on the second host and it generates a lot of problems. I installed the ovirt engine, release 3.5 RC2, on the first host and from the web admin UI I was trying to add the second host. I discovered that using jsonrpc mode it doesn't check/enforce or at least advice about cluster compatibility level failing silently. I opened a bug for that [3]. Than I start using xmlrpc mode that suggested me to downgrade the cluster compatibility mode to 3.3; I did that but it still failed adding my host apparently due to SELinux or Gluster errors; I opened a bug also for that [4]. So I understood that I forgot to add oVirt 3.5 repo on the second host; I opened a bug against host-deploy with install rpms but doesn't handle RPM repos. On my opinion it would make the setup more user friendly or at least more controllable for us [5]. So I added the yum repository and I tried again; I noticed that host-deploy upgrades vdsm stuff but it wasn't enough to get 3.5 compatibility level so, investigating it a bit, I noticed that host-deploy upgrades vdsm stuff but completely ignores libvirt one generating a nonworking setup; I opened a bug also for that [6]. At the end, after manually upgrade libvirt rpms I was able to add my host. Than I briefly tested backup/restore and disaster recovery procedures which seam to work as expected. So, at the end, on my opinion we have still to work a bit more to make the setup more user friendly.

[ovirt-users] OVIRT-3.5-TEST-DAY-3 - Monitoring Dashboard
Hi, I tested Monitoring (UI Plugin) Dashboard (integrated with Nagios Monitoring) and ran into several issues. The nagios server installed smoothly and showed all the bricks and their trends. I had several issues with the plugin and have opened BZs. 1. BZ 1143018 Plugins are not refreshed on Webadmin reload PluginDataManager seems to be ignoring symbolic links to files and directories in /usr/share/ovirt-engine/ui-plugins Had to manually copy the files and directories to the ui-plugins directory to get the plugin to show. 2. BZ 1143041Plugin prompts for authentication Once the plugin showed up navigating to the trends tab required me to authenticate again 3. BZ 1143044Nagios plugin does not show trends Once authenticated the trends tab does not show the images. Some issue with file not found on the server for a new Cluster C_34 I had created.

[ovirt-users] [OVIRT-3.5-TEST-DAY-3] backup/restore/dr + Node
I installed a fresh engine on CentOS 6.5, and 3.5 nodes on two nested VMs. A significant portion of the day was spent testing basic Node functionality to ensure we didn't have any more SELinux denials, install problems on EFI, or other issues, after which I moved onto engine. DR was simply tested by pulling the network cable in the middle of an operation, disconnecting both nodes and waiting for storage arbitration to succeed, and uncleanly terminating the VM running engine then restarting. Backup and restore was tested with ovirt-engine-backup (which I haven't used before, and is quite nice). ___ Users mailing list Users@ovirt.org http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users
[ovirt-users] OVIRT-3.5-TEST-DAY-3 - hosted engine over iSCSI
On my first try to hosted-engine --deploy I used screen as suggested by this command when using ssh. Then it wasn't clear that the egnine's host FQDN should be in /etc/hosts . Once over this issue with Toni's help, I went forward with the installation, which ultimately failed. Opened bugs: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1142707 - Hosted-engine --deploy fails using screen with iscsi https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1143817 - Hosted Engine - Instructions for FQDN are not clear enough By my second try I was assigned a new iscsi lun, so I used this one for a fresh start. This installation just went on forever, until I bumped into a broken pipe. Openned bz: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1143820 - Hosted-engine --deploy with iscsi stuck The third try was with the same target as the previous. Installation went further this time but I got a message: [ ERROR ] Failed to execute stage 'Closing up': Cannot set temporary password for console connection. The VM may not have been created: please check VDSM logs Opened bz: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1143830 - hosted-engine --deploy: Failed to execute stage 'Closing up' with iscsi target Regards, Vered ___ Users mailing list Users@ovirt.org http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users
