AHAH Dereck, thx for googling,

I knew I could google it, that's not an expert stuff, nevertheless as you
seemed to be aware of the SDK subject I was wondering if you have links you
find yourself useful (even from google), so that I can dive into them.

Thx.

[Derek Atkins]

Hi,

It took me about 5 seconds to google for "ovirt sdk4" and the first link
is:  https://github.com/oVirt/ovirt-engine-sdk/tree/master/sdk

NB: I am not an ovirt dev (nor am I a python programmer, although I do
play one on TV sometimes ;-).

Sometimes the ova file is compressed/assembled in some way that might 
not be compatible.

[ovirt-users] Re: OVA import fails always

[Juan Pablo Lorier]

This is not a disk upload, which works fine, this is an import. It loads 
locally from one hypervisor, and the same problem happens on the other 
nodes. I can load the ova, select the vm to import and see all the 
params, then in the import process, it fails.

Hi Marko,

Jayme  has explained it all.
If you wish HCI - you should use 3  ->  6 -> 9 nodes  (in 'replica 2 arbiter 1' 
& 'replica 3' volumes ).
Of course  you can connect other hosts but they will not have gluster running 
on them.

Yes I know ovirt-shell.

But if the Interface (API) is well exposed, we could ourself code add-hoc
client to interact with, as we know how it's defined and structured.

Please do you have useful links about those SDK4 and others API/CLI related
stuff?

[Derek Atkins]

Yes.  The devs call it "SDK4", which has been around for a few releases now.
The CLI, however, uses SDK3, which was removed from Ovirt 4.4.
Search for "ovirt-shell".

[ovirt-users] Re: Ovirt API and CLI

[Eugène Ngontang]

@Derek,

You're talking about a client the should up-port, but before having a
client, my question is is there a documented API (server) to interact with
through that client?

[ovirt-users] Re: OVA import fails always

[Edward Berger]

I haven't tried many but for one I just untarred the thing to get the disk
image file and created a new VM with that.
Sometimes the ova file is compressed/assembled in some way that might not
be compatible.

Hey all!

Thanks for all your input.
@Gianluca: Funny, I did those steps on my own, so I am all good to go :)
(Except for two network interfaces. But really I just dont need it.)

I recommend following this web page, that gives you the chance to have 
both a single oVirt Node and a single plain CentOS 7.7 host with hosted 
engine and gluster on itself:

[ovirt-users] Re: Hyperconverged setup questions

[Jayme]

Marko,

>From my understanding, you can have more than 3 hosts in a HCI cluster but
to expand HCI you need to add hosts in multiples of three.  I.e. go from 3
hosts to 6 or 9 etc.

You can still add hosts into the cluster as compute only hosts though.  So
you could have 3 hosts with gluster and a 4th that is just compute.

[ovirt-users] Re: Hyperconverged setup questions

[Vrgotic, Marko]

Hi Strahil,

I circled back on your reply while ago regarding oVirt Hyperconverged and more 
than 3 nodes in cluster:


“Hi Marko, I guess  you can use distributed-replicated volumes  and oVirt  
cluster with host triplets.”
Initially I understood that its limited to 3Nodes max per HC cluster, but now 
reading documentation further 
https://www.ovirt.org/documentation/gluster-hyperconverged/chap-Maintenance_and_Upgrading_Resources.html
 that does not look like it.

Would you be so kind to give me an example or clarify what you meant by “you 
can use distributed-replicated volumes  and oVirt  cluster with host triplets.” 
?

Kindly awaiting your reply.

Hi Strahil,

Thank you.
One maybe stupid question, but significant to me:
Considering i haven’t been playing before with hyperconverged setup in oVirt, 
is this something i can do from ui cockpit or does it require me first setup an 
Glusterfs on the Hosts before doing anything via oVirt API or Web interface?

Kindly awaiting your reply.

Dear oVirt,



Is it possible to add oVirt 3Hosts/Gluster hyperconverged cluster to existing 
oVirt setup? I need this to achieve Local storage performance, but still have 
pool of Hypevisors available.

Is it possible to have more than 3Hosts in Hyperconverged setup?



I have currently 1Shared Cluster (NFS based storage, where also SHE is hosted) 
and 2Local Storage clusters.



oVirt current version running is 4.3.4.



Kindly awaiting your reply.
