The "normal" solution is hosted-engine, which has HA - the engine
runs in a VM, and HA daemons monitor it and the hosts, and if there
is a problem they can start it on another host.

There were discussions in the past, which you can find in the list archives,
about running two engines against a single database, and current bottom line
is that it's not supported, will not work, and iiuc will require some
significant development investment to support.

You might manage to have an active/passive solution - install an engine
on two machines, configure both to use the same remote database, but
make sure only one of them is active at any given time. Not sure if that's
considered "fully supported", but might come close.

You can find on the net docs/resources about creating a redundant
postgresql cluster.

[ovirt-users] Two ovirt-engine manage one hypervisor

[Sandvik Agustin]

Hi users,

Good day, is it possible to configure two ovirt-engine to manage one
hypervisor? My purpose for this is what if the first ovirt-engine fails, I
still have the 2nd ovirt-engine to manage hypervisor.

is this possible? or any suggestion similar to my purpose?

Re: [ovirt-users] Hosted Engine Woes

[Nic Seltzer]

Hey folks,

Just wanna follow-up here. Restarting the hosted-engine through the steps
provided by Simone seems to have resolved the issue. Now, I get to retro
and figure out why that paused a VM. Something I may come back to this list
for. Thank you for your help and quick response.

Thank you again,

You see lvm warnings in vdsm debug logs, this is not a warning, and
you can safely
ignore it.

If you like to stop these warnings, you can stop and mask lvm2-lvmetad
and disable
it in lvm.conf:

systemctl stop lvm2-lvmetad.service lvm2-lvmetad.socket
systemctl mask lvm2-lvmetad.service lvm2-lvmetad.socket

And disable it in lvm.conf:

use_lvmetad = 0

This has no effect on vdsm, which already ignore lvmetad using command line
configuration (look for --config in vdsm.log).

We are considering adding this to vdsm installation.

Has anyone else experienced a similar issue? Is the advised action to
reboot the hosted-engine? I defer the to the expertise in this mailing list
so that I might help others.

Re: [ovirt-users] best way to migrate VMs from VMware to oVirt

Hi,

I haven't had any luck using the oVirt GUI or virt-v2v (see earlier

Any suggestions?

Are you getting errors?

Here's what I have in my notes but you may already have tried it and the 
GUI doesn't seem to have a way to do it.  I migrated from both ESXi6 and 
VMwareWorkstation 11.  First I exported as ova.


**  Make sure the export directory is mounted.
*  virt-v2v doesn't like being run as root so run it as vdsm user and 
you need to specify the shell.


  su - vdsm -s /bin/bash

For Export storage located on another computer remote to the one running

  virt-v2v -i ova -of raw -o rhev -os

  virt-v2v -i ova -of raw -o rhev -os /srv/exports/ovirt/export1 -oa 
sparse --network VLAN100 -on   /path/


I moved my ova files to my host (I run hosted engine deployment). Then I 
su'd and ran the second command since my host exports the oVirt Export 
directory.


Once the command completes I run the oVirt admin import and select the 
VMs from the list and move them over.  I have to change the location of 
the storage since it defaults to the Engine storage and not my iSCSI 
storage.


I've done it on mainly Linux and a Win 7 VM and it worked.  I haven't 
tried any servers yet.

I think the best way is use our import external vm feature.

[ovirt-users] best way to migrate VMs from VMware to oVirt

[Cam Mac]

Hi,

I haven't had any luck using the oVirt GUI or virt-v2v (see earlier email),
and I need to find a way to migrate quite a few Windows hosts (Windows 7,
2012, 2008, 2k3 etc) into my test oVirt cluster as a PoC so I can make a
compelling case for getting rid of VMware. Using OVF files looks like a lot
more manual work as compared to the GUI or virt-v2v, with their nice
conversion features.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Cam

Why not a nuc, or similar device from other vendors that are emerging?
I don't know for the lan security part, but you can find a nuc5cpyh with
celeron or nuc5ppyh with pentium respectively at 140 and 170 euros. Both
have 6w tdp.
You have to add at least memory but with further 20 euros you get 4gb.
Disk optional, you can use sdxc or boot from lan
Just a suggestion for further investigation.
I'm currently using a top line nuc6 as an hypervisor without any problem
with 3-4 vms, so I think a bottom line nuc can serve optimally as a thin
client without its costs.
Some of them have also Kensington anti theft that can be a good idea due to
their size.
Hih,
Gianluca

Hello,
Is there a milestone for translation files sync to have them into final ga?
At this time I'm working on master for Italian in zanata and due to latest
changes it dropped now to about 84%.
I'm going to resync it before the end of the weekend.

Just another things, you'll probably have also to filter that devices
out of LVM.

You can expose it over iSCSI via targetcli and directly attach it to
the single VM as a direct LUN.

Re: [ovirt-users] Migrate hosted-engine from NFS to ISCSI

[Madhuranthakam, Ravi Kumar]

Hi ,
Thanks for your reply. Looking forward to get this feature integrated in in 
upcoming releases .

One more question 

1) I have few Raw disks (/dev/sdx  or some LVM's ) and I need to directly 
attach it to oVirt VM without any file system bottle necks. 
But this VM is part of data center(shared type) .
We are not planning to use any shared storage and shared data center . 

Here use case is that One Of the VM(HP StoreVirtial Applaince ) is our software 
oriented storage which  will consume raw disks which are attached to local host.

How to do that ? I see that attach disk shows only NFS/ISCSI /direct LUn optins 
.

Thanks for your time.

So you'll probably need to manually edit the engine-DB just after DB recovery

On the first deployment no, it is basically for frontend and backend
office activity.
But we would probably also asked to try it for multimedia activities
like casual guests watching internet videos at the local public
library.
So two different kind of devices, I suppose.

Anything to suggest?

Hi, here I'm speaking of wired network authentication (and nothing more).
What we have in place now: network ports are confined in a VLAN only
useful to authenticate the PC (windows). When the PC boots it
interacts with the radius server (freeradius) using PEAP-MsChapv2. If
the PC is registered in the Active Directory and authenticates against
it (at machine level, not user level) the switch port  is given a VLAN
based on attributes stored in the AD and it is enabled to communicate
without restrictions.

With Thin Client we would like to have something similar but it would
be fine even to directly instruct freeradius to enable the port and
set the VLAN on the basis of the thin client MAC address.

I've just discovered that Wyse ThinOS thin clients (Dell) support
802.1x, I wonder if is compatible with oVirt...
Time to search on the spice lists, as Michal suggested.

Thanks,
Giorgio.

Re: [ovirt-users] [ovirt-announce] [ANN] oVirt 4.0.0 GA postponed to Monday, June 20

[Nathanaël Blanchet]

Hi all,
Can someone explain what makes ovirt 4.0 a major release, comparing to 
the previous ones?
Over than 1 year to release the minor 3.6 release, and only 8 months for 
4.0...


Le 15/06/2016 15:38, Rafael Martins a écrit :

Hi,
In order to give time to fix some last minute blockers, the GA is pushed to
Monday, June 20.

This should provide sufficient time for us to properly fix and test oVirt 4.0,
in order to make sure we have no critical issues in the 4.0.0 version, that
was originally scheduled for today.

Thanks in advance,

Rafael Martins

Yes very much so. The network is 10.0.16.0/24 - this is the ovirtmgmt +
storage network and is 100% isolated and dedicated with no firewall between
oVirt nodes and storage. There is no firewall on the local server either.
Basically I have:

ovirtmgmt - bond0 in mode 2 (default when not using LACP in oVirt it
appears) - connects to dedicated storage switches. nodes1-3 are 10.0.16.5,
6, and 7 respectively
VM NIC - bond1 - trunk port for VLAN tagging in active/passive bond. This
is the VM network path. This connects to two different switches

storage is located at 10.0.16.100 (cluster IP / storage-vip is hostname),
10.0.16.101 (storage node 1), 10.0.16.102 (storage node 2), 10.0.16.103
(nas01, dedicated storage for ovirt engine outside of clustered storage for
other VMs)

Cluster IP of 10.0.16.100 is where VM storage goes
NAS IP of 10.0.16.103 is where oVirt engine storage is

All paths to the oVirt engine and other nodes are 100% clear with no
failures or firewalls between oVirt nodes and storage

[root@njsevcnp01 ~]# for i in $( seq 100 103 ); do ping -c 1 10.0.16.$i |
grep -i "\(rece\|time=\)"; echo "--"; done
64 bytes from 10.0.16.100: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.071 ms

This is dedicated storage for oVirt environment

Everything I am providing right now is from njsevcnp01, why would it
timeout between agent and broker on the same box? Because broker is not
accepting connection? But the broker logs show it is accepting and doing
connection handling

Acknowledged on the STMP errors. At this time I am just trying to get
clustering working again because as of now I cannot live migrate the hosted
engine since it appears to be a split brain type of issue

What do I need to do to resolve this stale-data issue and get the cluster
working again / agents and brokers talking to themselves again?

Should I shut down the platform and delete the lock files then bring it
back up again?

Thanks for your help Martin!

So you have connection timeout here (it is trying to reach the
localhost smtp server)

This is also not normal, it means the storage disappeared.


This seems to indicate there is some kind of issue with your network..
are you sure that your firewall allows connections over lo interface
and to the storage server?

Charles, check the broker log too please. It is possible that the
broker process is running, but is not accepting connections for
example.

[ovirt-users] [ANN] oVirt 4.0.0 GA postponed to Monday, June 20

[Rafael Martins]

Hi,
In order to give time to fix some last minute blockers, the GA is pushed to
Monday, June 20.

This should provide sufficient time for us to properly fix and test oVirt 4.0,
in order to make sure we have no critical issues in the 4.0.0 version, that
was originally scheduled for today.

Thanks in advance,

Rafael Martins

Re: [ovirt-users] hosted-engine vm-status stale data and cluster seems "broken"

Actually, broker is the only thing acting "right" between broker and agent.
Broker is up when I bring the system up but agent is restarting all the
time. Have a look

The 11th is when I restarted this node after doing 'reinstall' in the web UI

[ovirt-users] Decommission Master Storage Domain

[Neil]

Hi guys,

I've searched around a little but don't see much on how to do this.

I'm running ovirt-engine-3.5.6.2-1.el6.noarch on Centos 6.x

I have 4 x Centos 6.x hosts connected to an FC SAN with two different RAID
arrays configured on it, one new RAID and one old RAID.
The new RAID is shared as a new FC storage domain, the old RAID as my old
Master storage domain.

I have moved all VM's using LSM to the new storage domain and I would like
to remove my old storage domain now, so that the old physical hard disks
can be removed out of my SAN.

If I go to "Disks" on the old storage domain I only see two named OVF_store
etc, so it looks like it's ready to be decommissioned.

How can I promote my new domain to the master and remove/destroy my old
master domain and can it all be done without any VM downtime?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Regards.

Neil Wilson.

Broker is broken or down. Check the status of ovirt-ha-broker service.

This is another piece that points to broker or storage issues. Agent
collects local data and then publishes them to other nodes through
broker. So it is possible for the agent to know the status of the VM
locally, but not be able to publish it.

hosted-engine command line tool then reads the synchronization
whiteboard too, but it does not see anything that was not published
and ends up reporting stale data.

>> What is the status of the hosted engine services? systemctl status
>> ovirt-ha-agent ovirt-ha-broker

Please check the services.

Best regards

Martin

Hi everyone,
I've been asked to deploy a VDI solution based on our oVirt infrastructure.
What we have in production is a 3.6 manager (standalone, not HE) with
a 3.5 cluster (CentOS 6) and a 3.6 cluster (CentOS 7), iSCSI storage,
fully redundant networking.

What is not clear to me is the client side, especially because we have
been asked to implement a thin client solution but I've been almost
unable to find suitable devices.


if that client can still be a PC, albeit diskless, it’s still easier and 
probably cheaper than any other special hw.



Is there anyone in this list willing to share his/her experience on
this topic? Probably my search skill is low but I've only seen
references to IGEL. Other brands?


not that i know of, and even that one had (or still have?) some issues with 
SPICE performance as it’s not kept up to date


There is another strong requirement: our network infrastructure makes
use of 802.1x to authenticate client devices and it would be highly
advisable to respect that constraint.


for the VDI connections? I don’t think SPICE supports that, but please bring it 
up on spice list to make sure.
if it would be for oVirt user portal then, I guess with pluggable aaa we can 
support anything. Ondro?



It depends on use case, if apache module which uses radius is ok, then 
yes it should work.

The problem is that we currently support only ldap as authorization backend.



TIA,
Giorgio.

Re: [ovirt-users] free-IPA Multi-Master Authentication Problem

[Donny Davis]

How did you setup the authentication. DId you use AAA or
engine-manage-domains ?

Do you *have* to use kerberos, or can you just use ldap?

If you have no requirement to use kerberos, then I would just use simple
AAA ldap.

How are you load balancing the IPA servers?  Does fail over work for other
things? IE client machines connected to the IPA realm?

if that client can still be a PC, albeit diskless, it’s still easier and 
probably cheaper than any other special hw.

not that i know of, and even that one had (or still have?) some issues with 
SPICE performance as it’s not kept up to date

for the VDI connections? I don’t think SPICE supports that, but please bring it 
up on spice list to make sure.
if it would be for oVirt user portal then, I guess with pluggable aaa we can 
support anything. Ondro?

You can also use ansible to provision your 802.1x network gear along with
the client machines, this way everything is provisioned the same way every
time.

Re: [ovirt-users] how to build and install ovirt to the Product Environment

[Donny Davis]

There is no sense in building the packages yourself, when the oVirt
community takes care of that for you. Especially if you are talking about a
production workload.

[ovirt-users] VDI experience to share?

[Giorgio Bersano]

Hi everyone,
I've been asked to deploy a VDI solution based on our oVirt infrastructure.
What we have in production is a 3.6 manager (standalone, not HE) with
a 3.5 cluster (CentOS 6) and a 3.6 cluster (CentOS 7), iSCSI storage,
fully redundant networking.

What is not clear to me is the client side, especially because we have
been asked to implement a thin client solution but I've been almost
unable to find suitable devices.

Is there anyone in this list willing to share his/her experience on
this topic? Probably my search skill is low but I've only seen
references to IGEL. Other brands?
There is another strong requirement: our network infrastructure makes
use of 802.1x to authenticate client devices and it would be highly
advisable to respect that constraint.

TIA,
Giorgio.

Actually the cards you are using should work pretty well. If I
understand correctly, the device disappears from the guest? That would
most likely be problem in NVIDIA's smi tool or drivers. Still,
supplying VDSM logs (from start to VM's destruction) from the host
could help us debug the issue.


Thanks,
Arman.

I've seen: kpatch and ksplice, What is your implementation?
Yes, it was about kpatch, but you're right, kpatch must be manually

The hypervisors do not communicate with engine, engine communicate

so you can safely reboot the engine host.

Please be more specific about what you want to do. What guide are you

What's "RHEV-V"?

This means you are trying to deploy a hosted-engine. Is that what you want?

This error is not enough to understand what failed.

Please check above log and/or post a link to it.

If you can't understand yourself the error from checking this file, it's
quite likely we won't either - in that case, please check/post also vdsm
logs, perhaps engine logs (from the engine vm).
