Re: [ovirt-users] gluster VM disk permissions

another data point.
Changing just owner to qemu doesn't help.
Changing just group to qemu does. VM starts fine after that.

Hello,
I would like to come back to the original post to get some clarifications:
you write
"
I've deployed a pretty basic VM (ubuntu 14.04 server, 4GB RAM, 4 CPUs, 15GB
storage).
"
It seems to me not so basic a VM with 4 vcpus for a desktop what are
your needs for it?
In general a multi cpu VM could have a worse performance than a mono cpu
one, depending on its actual workload, because from the host side there is
a continuous scheduling of these 4 vcpus among the real cpus/cores/threads.
I worked in the past with a 4 vcpu VM and 24Gb of ram (in vSphere) used as
JDEdwards database server with hundreds of concurrent users ...
Also with JBoss VMs configured with 4-6 vcpus .. But for a basic VM seems
somehow overestimated...
In my case on a nuc6i5 with 2 cores + ht and 32Gb of ram, configured as
hypervisor with self hosted engine VM, I have a CentOS 6 VM configured with
3Gb of ram and 1 cpu and it runs quite smooth from inside a spice session
configured with resolution of 1680x1050 and its cpu usage shows 98.5% idle.
Also from the host point of view

   PID USER  PR  NIVIRTRESSHR S  %CPU %MEM TIME+
COMMAND
16025 qemu  20   0 8988404 3.070g  10524 S   1.7  9.9  90:16.07
qemu-kvm   <--- engine VM
24367 qemu  20   0 3852288 1.929g  12188 S   0.0  6.2  41:12.79
qemu-kvm   < CentOS 6 VM

If I add to the mix a CentOS 7.2 VM configured with 1 vcpu and 3Gb of ram
and with a classic gnome desktop session and open it with 1680x1050
resolution too in spice, I can work without problems and with great
fluidity. I see inside vm its cpu jumping from 1% to 6% because of
gnome-shell.

I see this at host side while in CentOS 7 VM the packagekitd daemon is
downloading the updates and so it is comsuming cpu cycles, also due to
virtual network activity

  PID USER  PR  NIVIRTRESSHR S  %CPU %MEM TIME+
COMMAND

16025 qemu  20   0 9004796 3.077g  10524 S   2.0  9.9  90:27.34
qemu-kvm
24367 qemu  20   0 3852288 1.929g  12188 S   0.7  6.2  41:17.35

qemu-kvm

Otherwise very few cpu usage, after packagekitd completes its work;

  PID USER  PR  NIVIRTRESSHR S  %CPU %MEM TIME+

It seems I didn't. After setting it to reasonable values the problem was

Fedora 24 and Kubuntu 16.04 (both Plasma 5) stop insisting on 1024x768

I never thought this setting could be so important. :)

Very interesting. Are your hosts all of the same architecture(family)?

Actually we have a nice mixture of manufacturers. We run 7 hosts, paired 
4-2-1 in relation to architecture. All of them have the same resources, 
though (CPUs + RAM). In this case, I can't test the VM on different 
hosts because we've separated one of them (one of the "4") on a 
standalone oVirt datacenter as we're making tests on it, but I remember 
this has already happened to me in the past (I didn't have the time to 
debug it at that time, though).

Just spitballing here: 14.04 only? Tried 16.04, or any other OS for 
that matter? For now, it sounds more guest related rather than oVirt.

I tried a vanilla centos-7.1 as well and the same happens. I'm of the 
same opinion that this is more a guest related issue, it's just I'd like 
to find out why this only happens with QXL and not with CIRRUS.

Betreff: [ovirt-users] Snapshot is "Locked" - Can't do anything 
with the VM


Hi oVirt List

We have the problem, that two of our VM's have "Locked" snapshots 
and we
can't go forward. From 10 VM's which we move from one store to 
another,
we have problems with 5 of them to delete the snapshots. But with a 
lot
of luck, the snapshot was always on the dedicated Swap-Disk, so we 
just

have to remove the whole disk and create it again as new.

Because we replace all the filers, we have to move the VM's 
arround. The
move itself runns fine, but deleting the snapshots doesn't work 
sometimes.


I found a lot about our problem, but I can't find any solution, which
works an our environment.

Our setup:
- 3 Solaris filer with NFS exports for the hosts for the vm-images
- 8 hosts (oVirt 3.6 / Centos 7.2.1511)
- The engine host is located outside of the DC, connected via VPN

At the moment, one of the "problem-VM" is productive, the other should
become productive in the next days, so we focus us to the 2nd VM,
because we can play arround with them. The other one is startet up, 
but

i have no idea, what happens, when i shut them down...

This is the status today of VM, which is not productive at the moment:
- VM Status: Down
- Snapshots OK: 2
- Snapshots Locked: 1
- In the snapshot tab, everything is grayed out (Create, Preview,
Commit, Undo etc.)
- No active tasks are displayed

Error message when i try to start the VM:
"Cannot run VM. The VM is performing an operation on a Snapshot. 
Please

wait for the operation to finish, and try again."
This often produces to me too. The only way I found to resolve it is to 
restart engine, you may try this, it has no impact on the host and vms.

1. We start the disk move from filer1 to filer3, totaly 4 drives,

[ovirt-users] 100% memory usage on desktop environments

[Nicolás]

Hi,

Probably not an oVirt issue, but maybe someone can help. I've deployed a 
pretty basic VM (ubuntu 14.04 server, 4GB RAM, 4 CPUs, 15GB storage). 
Each time I install an additional desktop environment (Gnome, KDE, 
whatever...), CPU usage rises to 100% all time to the extreme that 
interacting with the machine becomes impossible (maybe a mouse movement 
is propagated 3 minutes later or so...).


To debug this, I installed LXDE, which is a lightweight desktop 
environment based on Xorg. I could see there is an Xorg process 
consuming one of the CPUs and the machine stops responding as far as the 
desktop environment goes. I have not changed anything in the 
configuration file.


I could also see this only happens when QXL is chosen as the display 
driver. When CIRRUS is chosen, everything works smoothly and CPU is 
~100% idle. The downside is that we want to use SPICE and CIRRUS won't 
allow it.


Why does this happen? Is this an OS-side driver issue? Any hint how can 
it be fixed?


Thanks.

Nicolás

Re: [ovirt-users] virt-in-virt problem: DHCP failing for a container in a oVirt VM

[Will Dennis]

Sadly, having set the 'macspoof' key to 'true' in Custom Properties in the VM 
Edit dialog, then restarting the VM thereafter, I'm still not seeing the 
container's MAC address in the relevant bridge's MAC table in oVirt, and the 
container is failing to lease a DHCP address from the external network... 

Looked at the ebtables filter table, nothing there...
[root@ovirt-node-03 ~]# ebtables -t filter -L
Bridge table: filter

Bridge chain: INPUT, entries: 0, policy: ACCEPT

Bridge chain: FORWARD, entries: 0, policy: ACCEPT

Bridge chain: OUTPUT, entries: 0, policy: ACCEPT


Anyone know where else I could look to troubleshoot?

Re: [ovirt-users] Snapshot is "Locked" - Can't do anything with the VM

[Ivo Rütsche]

Hi Nathanaël

I try it today and the snapshot was in the state "OK" after I execute 
the script. I try to remove the snapshot again, but it never do 
something. So after I click "Delete", i have this situation:


Tasks(1):
- (Hourglass) Removing Snapshot Auto-generated for Live Storage 
Migration of VM 

-- (Completed) Validating
-- (Hourglass) Executing

The snapshot is in the status "Locked"

This status remains for ever.


When I restart the engine, the Status is still in the status "Locked", 
but the task no longer exists.

but nothing else

On the node side, i can't find anything in the logs (or i looking on the

When the VM is not running, I can remove the snapshot without any

Betreff: [ovirt-users] Snapshot is "Locked" - Can't do anything with 
the VM


Hi oVirt List

We have the problem, that two of our VM's have "Locked" snapshots 
and we

can't go forward. From 10 VM's which we move from one store to another,
we have problems with 5 of them to delete the snapshots. But with a lot
of luck, the snapshot was always on the dedicated Swap-Disk, so we just
have to remove the whole disk and create it again as new.

Because we replace all the filers, we have to move the VM's arround. 
The
move itself runns fine, but deleting the snapshots doesn't work 
sometimes.


I found a lot about our problem, but I can't find any solution, which
works an our environment.

Our setup:
- 3 Solaris filer with NFS exports for the hosts for the vm-images
- 8 hosts (oVirt 3.6 / Centos 7.2.1511)
- The engine host is located outside of the DC, connected via VPN

At the moment, one of the "problem-VM" is productive, the other should
become productive in the next days, so we focus us to the 2nd VM,
because we can play arround with them. The other one is startet up, but
i have no idea, what happens, when i shut them down...

This is the status today of VM, which is not productive at the moment:
- VM Status: Down
- Snapshots OK: 2
- Snapshots Locked: 1

Error message when i try to start the VM:
"Cannot run VM. The VM is performing an operation on a Snapshot. Please
wait for the operation to finish, and try again."

Something about the history of this VM:
1. We start the disk move from filer1 to filer3, totaly 4 drives,
everything was fine
2. Deleting snapshots, i think one or two runns fine
3. Deleting the 2nd or 3rd snapshot runs two days without an end
4. Rebooting the Engine
5. No task anymore in the Tasks list

Do you have /etc/ovirt-hosted-engine/hosted-engine.conf ?
that should be enough to mount the shared storage and start the VM
extracting the VM configuration from there.

Do you have any error from ovirt-ha-agent or from ovirt-ha-broker?

Re: [ovirt-users] oVirt hosted-engine setup stuck in final phase registering host to engine

[Ralf Schenk]

Hello,

thanks a lot. Yesterday I stood at the edge off a cliff. Now I'm one
step beyond...

Setup finished sucsessfully, engine-vm was shutdown - and no HA Config,
No running engine VM afterwards. :-(

Restart of ovirt-ha-agent/ovirt-ha-broker doesn't work. Reboot of Host
neither. No (mounted) /var/run/ovirt-hosted-engine-ha/vm.conf.

I can do "hosted-engine --connect-storage" which mounts my replica 3
gluster under
/rhev/data-center/mnt/glusterSD/glusterfs.rxmgmt.databay.de:_engine.

I found the tar file with configs in my volume and I am able to extract
all the files (fhanswers.conf, hosted-engine.conf, broker.conf, vm.conf)
from the conf volume which is a tar file
(/rhev/data-center/mnt/glusterSD/glusterfs.rxmgmt.databay.de:_engine/de9c1cb5-a11c-4f0d-b436-7e37378702c3/images/2d2145f5-9406-40c3-b85a-c17be924dd16/b64c8bac-f978-441e-b71c-2fa1d0fc078f)
.

Is it possible to persist that and get ha up and running ? I think it
was not persisted in vdsm, am I right ?

I found your post
http://lists.ovirt.org/pipermail/users/2015-December/036305.html that
looked like a similar Problem.

Hi,

thanks for the point, we will add it to the doc.

The configuration option you are interested in is this:

   pool.default.connection-options.responseTimeoutMillis = 6

just add it to your profile properties 
(/etc/ovirt-engine/aaa/your_profile.properties)

[ovirt-users] How to change host networks?

[Roderick Mooi]

Good day

I would like to change the IP addresses of the host networks used by Ovirt
including the ovirtmgmt bridge. I need to move them to a different subnet
post installation. What is the best/safest way to do this?

Thanks,

ldapsearch itself takes approx 2 minutes.

Can the timeout of 6ms be configured somewhere? I could not find

[ovirt-users] Linux guests vs. Spice/QXL?

[Uwe Laverenz]

Hi all,

I'm running some tests on OVirt (3.6.5.3) on CentOS 7 and almost 
everything works quite well so far.


CentOS 6.x, Windows 7 and 2008R2 work fine with Spice/QXL, so my setup 
seems to be ok.


Other Linux systems don't work: Debian 8, Fedora 23/24, CentOS 7.x, 
Kubuntu 16.04... CentOS 7.x even kills his X server every time the user 
logs out. X-)


They all have in common that they show a fixed display resolution of 
1024x768 pixels. This can not be changed manually and of course 
automatic display resizing doesn't work either.


All machines have spice-vdagent and ovirt-guest-agent installed and running.

Is this a local problem or is this known/expected behaviour? Is there 
anything I can do to improve this?


thank you,
Uwe

Hi Ivo,

I'm not sure what would cause this to start happening after a 
successful deployment, but perhaps enabling debug logging would help 
narrow it down.  See [1] for instructions on that.

Re: [ovirt-users] oVirt hosted-engine setup stuck in final phase registering host to engine

[Simone Tiraboschi]

The issue is here:
2016-05-18 00:16:17 DEBUG otopi.context context.dumpEnvironment:510 ENV
OVEHOSTED_ENGINE/appHostName=str:''hosted_engine_1''
You are quoting it twice and so it will try to use the string with the
inner quote which is not a valid name.

Does it come from your custom '/root/engine_answers.conf'? if so please fix
it there and try again.

[ovirt-users] AAA LDAP timeout

[Dominique Taffin]

Hello!

We do have a rather large LDAP which does take some time to answer.
Using oVirt and AAA LDAP extension, I do run into timeouts.

running "ovirt-engine-extensions-tool --log-level=FINEST --log-
file=tool.log aaa login-user --profile=abc --user-name=xxx" fails
with:

[...]
LDAPSearchException(resultCode=85 (timeout), numEntries=0,
numReferences=0, errorMessage='A client-side timeout was encountered
while waiting 6ms for a response to search request with message
ID 3, base DN [...]


ldapsearch itself takes approx 2 minutes.

Can the timeout of 6ms be configured somewhere? I could not find
anything in the documentation...

thank you and best,
 Dominique

'microcloud21.rxmgmt.databay.de' is the host address, in oVirt the host has
also a name.
Can you please look for OVEHOSTED_ENGINE/appHostName in your
hosted-engine-setup logs?

​Well, that's the 1st time I've heard​ about LDAP setup where users and
groups of one domain are not under same baseDN. Usually all LDAP setups
have some baseDN (for example 'dc=company,dc=com') and somewhere under this
baseDN (not necessarily directly under it) we could find users and groups.
The only exception to this is ActiveDirectory with multi-domain trust
inside single forrest (which we currently support and user of domainA can
be a member of a group from domainB) and multi-forrest trust (which we
don't support).

Those users have attributes like "member of" which still keep the

​We don't support LDAP searches in the webadmin UI, because we don't
distinguish betweem LDAP (ovirt-engine-extension-aaa-ldap) or database
(ovirt-engine-extension-aaa-jdbc) providers​, both of them provides users
and groups for oVirt using same AAA interface.

I could do that with ldapsearch, but then how would I inject the result to

​So the only way that comes to my mind is to use one of our SDKs (Python,​
Java, Ruby). You would need to implement LDAP query by yourself and them
add wanted permission to those users using our SDKs.

[ovirt-users] oVirt hosted-engine setup stuck in final phase registering host to engine

[Ralf Schenk]

Dear list,

i'm working for days on a hosted-engine setup on glusterfs and 'm stuck
in the last phase of hosted-engine --deploy see Text output (for two
days now :-( ). I've only ovirtmgmt Bridge up and running and all
DNS-Names seen in the screenshot are resolvable. It shouldn't be related
to your problem regarding multiple nic's in the engine-vm. As seen the
hosted-engine setup is already succsessfull, engine-vm running, but the
setup fails in registering the host (microcloud21...) in the engine.

Additionally I can see the error in the eninge-vm in
/var/log/ovirt-engine/engine.log:

2016-05-17 14:08:15,296 WARN

The hostname that should be registered is the correct fqdn for the
virtualization host that runs the engine-vm, points to the ip of the
ovirtmgmt-Bridge and also the IP is reverse-resolvable to the hostname.
I checked /etc/hostname of the host for non-printable characters and as
you can see that is a valid hostname.

All is running on Centos 7 Versions:
ovirt-engine-appliance.noarch 3.6-20160420.1.el7.centos  @ovirt-3.6
ovirt-engine-sdk-python.noarch3.6.5.0-1.el7.centos   @ovirt-3.6

Since I already repeated the setup for many times now, I need your help.

As I explained, my groups are not in the same dn path than my users. As it is 
not possible to add multiple dn path, my only solution is to use users. Those 
users have attributes like "member of" which still keep the information about 
what group they belong too. I didn't find any way using the interface to filter 
by attribute, for example to show all users member of group "foo".
I could do that with ldapsearch, but then how would I inject the result to 
ovirt configuration to add those users to specific ovirt roles ("ovirt 
permission groups") ?

Iirc it's not in user portal by design. All custom properties are generally 
considered admin-like stuff

The situation mentioned it the bug will not happen anymore. The bandwidth and
