[ovirt-users] Re: Unable to add more than 16 vCPUs to running VM

2023-06-05 Thread David White via Users
These are Dell R630s with 2 physical CPUs.

Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2640 v3 @ 2.60GHz
CPU Cores per Socket:
8
Ooooh, so even though there are 32 logical cores, the physical CPUs are quad 
core.

Is there a downside to enabling "Count Threads As Cores" in the cluster 
configuration?
Why would that not be enabled by default?

[ovirt-users] Unable to add more than 16 vCPUs to running VM

2023-06-04 Thread David White via Users
I have a fully patched / up-to-date engine:
Software Version:4.5.4-1.el8


And a fully patched, up-to-date host.
[root@cha3-storage dwhite]# yum info ovirt-hostLast metadata expiration check: 
1:33:40 ago on Sun 04 Jun 2023 09:28:39 AM EDT.
Installed Packages
Name         : ovirt-host
Version      : 4.5.0
Release      : 3.el8
Architecture : x86_64
Size         : 11 k
Source       : ovirt-host-4.5.0-3.el8.src.rpm
Repository   : @System
>From repo    : centos-ovirt45



The host has 32GB of RAM, and there's only 1 VM on this host.
When I try to add more CPUs to the VM from the manager UI, I get the following 
error:

-   The requested number of vCPUs is not available on the host the VM is 
running on

What's going on here, and why can I not add more vCPUs to this VM?

The whole point of oVirt is to provide a virtualization environment.

What are you trying to do, and what steps did you take? Please send us more 
details on what you were expecting and what you tried to do.

[ovirt-users] Locking down management network

2022-11-05 Thread David White via Users
I just discovered that my default management network has the "VM Network" 
checkbox toggled (on the page where you navigate to Network -> Networks and 
select the management network).

There are no virtual machines associated with the management network.

Is it safe to simply edit the management network and uncheck the "VM Network" 
box? Will anything break (even temporarily) if I do this?

2022-10-26 Thread David White via Users
Take a look at https://github.com/silverorange/ovirt_ansible_backup. It works 
like a charm for me, and produces an OVA.

I haven't spent the time (yet) to set this up to run via cron, but that's my 
plan, probably in the near future.

[ovirt-users] Adding documentation - Migrating from a self-hosted engine to a standalone

2022-10-18 Thread David White via Users
Hi. I'm working on adding instructions to the documentation for how to migrate 
from a self-hosted engine to a stand alone manager. This will be the first time 
I've contributed anything to this project (or any larger open source project 
for that matter), so before I get too far in the weeds, I wanted to run this by 
the community so as not to waste my time if this is a bad idea.

My general high level documentation is pasted at the bottom of this email. 
These are the steps that I took when I did my own migration.

(Note to self: Need to add a step at the end to log into the Manager and 
disable the Gluster service by going to Computer --> Clusters --> (Edit the 
cluster) --> Uncheck the "Enable Gluster Service" checkbox.

And I've forked the ovirt-site repo and started working on the documentation 
here: https://github.com/dmwhite823/ovirt-site/tree/migrate-engine-to-standalone

I still have a ways to go before I'm ready to request a PR, but I'm open to any 
& all feedback. I think that I'm done with most of the changes necessary to 
ovirt-site/source/documentation/migrating_from_a_self-hosted_engine_to_a_standalone_manager/index.adoc,
 but I'm unclear why there's also a master.adoc file.

Note that I copied files into the new directory of 
migrating_from_a_self-hosted_engine_to_a_standalone_manager from the already 
existing  migrating_from_a_standalone_manager_to_a_self-hosted_engine structure 
directory, and am editing the files in the new directory.

Will this be useful / helpful? Would others on the team like to contribute to 
improving these instructions prior to issuing a PR to the ovirt-site git repo? 
Am I even doing this right?  藍

Thanks,
David

High level overview of steps required (pasted below):

Pre-req: Make sure VMs are not using HA lease of a gluster domain
1) Migrate all storage off Gluster

2) Remove all gluster volumes from oVirt

3) Put cluster into global maintenance
hosted-engine --set-maintenance --mode=global

4) On new VM:
Install CentOS Stream & add ovirt repos

dnf install centos-release-ovirt45
dnf module enable javapackages-tools pki-deps postgresql:12 
mod_auth_openidc:2.3 nodejs:14

Stop & Disable the engine
# systemctl stop ovirt-engine
# systemctl disable ovirt-engine

Setup DNS in /etc/hosts if you don't have local DNS servers

Backup the engine
# engine-backup --mode=backup --file=file_name --log=log_file_name

Restore
# engine-backup --mode=restore --file=engine-backup-09172022-1 --log=restore 
--restore-permissions

Run engine-setup
# engine-setup

2022-10-02 Thread David White via Users
You're probably looking for the instructions to manually install onto a "Stand 
alone" environment. Yes, it can be done - it just needs to be installed on RHEL 
8.6 derivatives. 


See 
https://ovirt.org/documentation/installing_ovirt_as_a_standalone_manager_with_local_databases/index.html#Installing_RHEL_for_RHVM_SM_localDB_deploy

[ovirt-users] Re: How do I migrate a running VM off unassigned host?

2022-09-19 Thread David White via Users
This is resolved.
I manually shutdown each VM, and then from within oVirt, I went to the host, 
and in the upper corner of the page when looking at the host, I clicked on 
'Confirm Host has been rebooted'. 

This allowed oVirt to then recognize that the VMs were down, and I was able to 
bring them back online on a healthy host.

. That's what you're supposed to do, anyway.
I intentionally cheated, and did the order of things a little bit differently. 
I knew that none of the VMs on that host were currently configured for HA, so I 
knew that if oVirt thought the VMs were turned off, that oVirt would NOT turn 
the VMs back online.

So just to make sure that it would even work, I marked the problematic host as 
rebooted FIRST. Then, once I knew that worked, and the VMs were showing down in 
the oVirt UI (but still online on the problematic host), I ssh'd to each server 
and manually shut them down before bringing them back online.

Hopefully this helps someone else!

-David

Restarting the `vdsmd` service on 1 of the problematic hosts brought that host 
back, and ovirt can see it.

But that did not fix the problem on the last remaining host. I'm still 
troubleshooting...

[ovirt-users] Re: How do I migrate a running VM off unassigned host?

2022-09-19 Thread David White via Users
I tried rebooting the engine to see if that would magically solve the problem 
(worth a try, right?). But as I expected, it didn't help.

Now one of the hosts is in a "Non Responsive" state and the other is 
permanently in a "Connecting" state. All VMs associated with those 2 hosts now 
show a question mark on the oVirt dashboard.

The storage for these VMs is good, and these VMs are online. Everything is 
"working" -- I just need to get these VMs moved onto hosts that oVirt is able 
to manage.

If it helps for troubleshooting purposes, prior to rebooting the engine, the 
following errors were showing up in the oVirt UI for both of these hosts:

VDSM cha1-storage.example.com command Get Host Capabilities failed: Internal 
JSON-RPC error: {'reason': '[Errno 24] Too many open files'}


Any ideas? If I need to take some downtime for these VMs, so be it, but I need 
to keep downtime at a minimum.

[ovirt-users] How do I migrate a running VM off unassigned host?

2022-09-19 Thread David White via Users
Ok, now that I'm able to (re)deploy ovirt to new hosts, I now need to migrate 
VMs that are running on hosts that are currently in an "unassigned" state in 
the cluser.

This is the result of having moved the oVirt engine OUT of a hyperconverged 
environment onto its own stand-alone system, while simultaneously upgrading 
oVirt from v4.4 to the latest v4.5.

See the following email threads: 

-   
https://lists.ovirt.org/archives/list/users@ovirt.org/thread/TZAUCM3GB5ERSTZMIAJEUCNNXDHTS6VA/
-   
https://lists.ovirt.org/archives/list/users@ovirt.org/thread/3IWXZ7VXM6CYYSVANT32SK6ESBRKO4VM/


The oVirt engine knows about the VMs, and oVirt knows about the storage that 
those VMs are on. But the engine sees 2 of my hosts as "unassigned", and I've 
been unable to migrate the disks to new storage, nor live migrate a VM from an 
unassigned host, nor make a clone of an existing VM.

Is there a way to recover from this scenario? I was thinking something along 
the lines of manually shutting down the VM on the unassigned host, and then 
somehow force the engine to bring the VM online again from a healthy host?

Thanks,
David

You're right. I went to Compute -> Clusters, clicked Edit, and in the General 
section, I scrolled down, and there is a checkbox to enable (or disable) the 
gluster service. That was enabled, so I just disabled it.

That said, it's interesting to me that I confirmed gluster was actually 
installed on the new host - but yet no service was available. So it does appear 
to me that there's a bug somewhere else:

[root@cha2-storage]# firewall-cmd --get-services | grep -i gluster

(That command produces nothing, yet glusterfs is installed:)

root@cha2-storage]# yum info glusterfs

Simply disabling the gluster service from the ovirt web UI as described above 
fixed the issue.

[ovirt-users] Re: Unable to deploy to new host

2022-09-19 Thread David White via Users

Thank you.

On the engine:

[root@ovirt-engine1 dwhite]# rpm -qa | grep -i ansible-core
ansible-core-2.13.3-1.el8.x86_64

So I downgraded ansible-core:
[root@ovirt-engine1 dwhite]# yum downgrade ansible-core

[root@ovirt-engine1 dwhite]# rpm -qa | grep ansible-core
ansible-core-2.12.7-1.el8.x86_64

After this, I tried again to deploy to the host, and that failed. The playbooks 
got further. Reviewing the host-deploy log, it failed on:

"task" : "Enable firewalld rules",
"task_path" : 
"/usr/share/ovirt-engine/ansible-runner-service-project/project/roles/ovirt-host-deploy-firewalld/tasks/firewalld.yml:15",

... with the following failure:
 "msg" : "ERROR: Exception caught: org.fedoraproject.FirewallD1.Exception: 
INVALID_SERVICE: 'glusterfs' not among existing services Permanent and 
Non-Permanent(immediate) operation, Services are defined by port/tcp 
relationship and named as they are in /etc/services (on most systems)",

QUESTION:
Probably not the best, or most elegant solution, but for my use case, is there 
something within the engine itself that I can (should) configure (maybe in the 
Postgres database somewhere?) to tell it that I'm no longer using Gluster? I'm 
completely off gluster now, so I'd prefer to not deploy it...

Or is there a better way?

[ovirt-users] Unable to deploy to new host

2022-09-18 Thread David White via Users
I currently have a self-hosted engine that was restored from a backup of an 
engine that was originally in a hyperconverged state. (See 
https://lists.ovirt.org/archives/list/users@ovirt.org/message/APQ3XBUM34TG76XGRBV6GIW62RP6MZOD/).


This was also an upgrade from ovirt 4.4 to ovirt 4.5.


There were 4 hosts in this cluster. Unfortunately, 2 of them are completely in 
an "Unassigned" state right now, and I don't know why. The VMs on those hosts 
are working fine, but I have no way to move the VMs or manage them.

More to the point of this email:
I'm trying to re-deploy onto a 3rd host. I did a fresh install of Rocky Linux 
8, and followed the instructions at https://ovirt.org/download/ and at 
https://ovirt.org/download/install_on_rhel.html, including the part there that 
is specific to Rocky.


After installing the centos-release-ovirt45 package, I then logged into the 
oVirt engine web UI, and went to Compute -> Hosts -> New, and have tried (and 
failed) many times to install / deploy to this new host.


The last error in the host deploy log is the following:

  }
}



On the engine, I have verified that netaddr is installed. And just for kicks, 
I've installed as many different versions as I can find:


[root@ovirt-engine1 host-deploy]# rpm -qa | grep 
netaddrpython38-netaddr-0.7.19-8.1.1.el8.noarch
python2-netaddr-0.7.19-8.1.1.el8.noarch
python3-netaddr-0.7.19-8.1.1.el8.noarch



The engine is based on CentOS Stream 8 (when I moved the engine out of the 
hyperconverged environment, my goal was to keep things as close to the original 
environment as possible)
[root@ovirt-engine1 host-deploy]# cat /etc/redhat-release
CentOS Stream release 8


The engine is fully up-to-date:
[root@ovirt-engine1 host-deploy]# uname -a
Linux ovirt-engine1.mgt.barredowlweb.com 4.18.0-408.el8.x86_64 #1 SMP Mon Jul 
18 17:42:52 UTC 2022 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux


And the engine has the following repos:
[root@ovirt-engine1 host-deploy]# yum repolistrepo id                           
                                                           repo name

2022-09-17 Thread David White via Users
I thought I'd report back to the list and mention that I was successful in 
migrating off of the hyperconverged environment onto a stand-alone engine 
environment, and Gluster has been removed from the oVirt configuration.

I ran into a few minor hiccups, all of which were resolved fairly easily, and I 
took notes. I intend to submit a PR to the github documentation, since none 
currently exist for migrating the engine off of a hyperconverged environment.

My only remaining questions at this point is:

-   Are there things on the hosts themselves that I should cleanup? I noticed 
that the "hosted-engine" command still exists. I went to run a `yum remove` on 
that, and it tried to remove basically everything... so I figured that wasn't 
actually a good idea.


-   Do I need to do anything in the oVirt config (maybe something in the 
Postgres database) to basically tell it that it is no longer self-hosted, but 
is instead stand-alone?

Hi Paul,
Thanks for the response.

I think you're suggesting that I take a hybrid approach, and do a restore of 
the current Engine onto the new VM. I hadn't thought about this option.

Essentially what I was considering was either:

-   Export to OVA or something
OR
-   Build a completely new oVirt engine with a completely new domain, etc... 
and try to live migrate the VMs from the old engine to the new engine.


Do I understand you correctly that you're suggesting I install the OS onto a 
new VM, and try to do a restore of the oVirt settings onto the new VM (after I 
put the cluster into Global maintenance mode and shutdown the old oVirt)?

In other words, I want to migrate the Engine from a hyperconverged environment 
into a stand-alone setup.

[ovirt-users] Should I migrate existing oVirt Engine, or deploy new?

2022-08-19 Thread David White via Users
Hello,
I have just purchased a Synology SA3400 which I plan to use for my oVirt 
storage domain(s) going forward. I'm currently using Gluster storage in a 
hyperconverged environment.

My goal now is to:

-   Use the Synology Virtual Machine manager to host the oVirt Engine on the 
Synology
-   Setup NFS storage on the Synology as the storage domain for all VMs in our 
environment
-   Migrate all VM storage onto the new NFS domain
-   Get rid of Gluster


My first step is to migrate the oVirt Engine off of Gluster storage / off the 
Hyperconverged hosts into the Synology Virtual Machine manager. 

Is it possible to migrate the existing oVirt Engine (put the cluster into 
Global Maintenance Mode, shutdown oVirt, export to VDI or something, and then 
import into Synology's virtualization)? Or would it be better for me to install 
a completely new Engine, and then somehow migrate all of the VMs from the old 
engine into the new engine?

Thanks,
David

[ovirt-users] How do I automate VM backups?

2022-05-05 Thread David White via Users
So perhaps qemu-img isn't the best way to do this.I was hoping I could write a 
bash script or something to take a snapshot. Is that possible, or is there a 
better way?
I was looking at https://github.com/wefixit-AT/oVirtBackup tonight, but haven't 
been able to get it to work as of yet.
When I run it, it recognizes the backup storage domain, says that it has 
started taking a snapshot, but then immediately says the snapshot was created 
(at which point everything else fails):
2022-05-05 21:05:35,453: Start backup for: my-vm-name.example.com2022-05-05 
21:05:35,554: The storage domain SpinningData is in state active2022-05-05 
21:05:35,732: Snapshot creation started ...2022-05-05 21:05:35,732: Snapshot 
created2022-05-05 21:05:40,773: !!! No snapshot found !!!2022-05-05 
21:05:40,773: All backups done2022-05-05 21:05:40,773: Backup failured 
for:2022-05-05 21:05:40,773:   my-vm-name.example.com2022-05-05 21:05:40,773: 
Some errors occured during the backup, please check the log file

The README says something about the python-sdk. How do I install that? I don't 
see that anywhere. 
[root@phys1 oVirtBackup-master]# yum info ovirt-engine-sdk-pythonUpdating 
Subscription Management repositories.Last metadata expiration check: 1:14:19

Is there a better way to run automated backups than this approach and/or using 
qemu-img?

[ovirt-users] Backing up VMs with qemu-img

2022-05-04 Thread David White via Users
I've recently been working with the qemu-img commands for some work that has 
nothing to do with oVirt or anything inside an oVirt environment.
But learning and using these commands have given me an idea for automating 
backups.
I believe that the following is true, but to confirm, would the qemu-img 
commands be available on the oVirt hosts to take VM snapshots and disk images?

[ovirt-users] Remove ovirt 4.4 repos after upgrade on the engine?

Hello,
After an update from 4.4 to 4.5 on the Engine, I noticed that the 4.4 repos 
still exist:
Is it safe to run "yum autoremove" on the Engine, followed by removing all of 
the 4.4 repositories from /etc/yum.repos.d/ ?

[ovirt-users] Re: oVirt 4.4 End Of Life

2022-04-20 Thread David White via Users
Hi Sandro,
I thought I had read somewhere on the list a few weeks ago that Gluster was 
having problems with 4.5 and that it wasn't going to be supported. Did I 
misundersand?
I recall a few months ago that the announcement was made to deprecate Gluster 
anyway, but I don't think the original plan was to remove support for it until 
later, but that due to some package dependencies, it needed to go away in 4.5.
I was hoping to get all of my storage migrated onto Synology hardware later 
this year prior to upgraded to 4.5, but if Gluster is still supported and will 
work, perhaps I should go ahead and upgrade.
I'm open to feedback.Posting to the list, as I'm sure others are in the same 
scenario as me.

[ovirt-users] Alternative Perspective - Re: oVirt alternatives

2022-02-06 Thread David White via Users
At the risk of sounding like a Red Hat or IBM fanboy, I have decided to give 
Red Hat the benefit of the doubt here, and to not make any decisions about 
switching off of oVirt until and unless an official announcement is made.

In the meantime, I know that I need to move off of Gluster (and I made that 
decision before the Gluster announcement), and I would need storage with any 
other solution anyway, so that's where I'm going to focus my own efforts.

In the meantime, while I realize that the optics of a company like IBM / Red 
Hat shutting a project like oVirt down looks bad to the FOSS community, I'm 
going to push back a little bit. We have had access to a FOSS application that 
obviously works for a lot of people. No company is required to provide their 
services for free, and likewise, I'm of the opinion that one needs to be 
willing to pay (or contribute in some way) for a quality product service. It 
reminds me of the mantra: "Fast, Cheap, Free - pick two".

So here's an alternative perspective: What can the community contribute and do 
in order to keep the project going? Anyone could fork it, rebrand it, and run 
with it. 

I claim to be a software developer, and the uplink in my datacenter is only 
100mbps right now (of course I can increase it when needed), so I doubt I could 
provide much value in terms of hosting or coding.

But I do know security. I'm a Linux systems engineer with over 10 years of 
experience. I know website content management systems. And people have told me 
that I'm good at documentation. So I think I have a lot of skill sets that I 
could "offer" (albeit I don't have much time, and as we all know, time is 
money. I've been dealing with a serious personal matter since beginning of 
December, and I'm effectively an acting single parent at the moment).

I'll end this the way I started: I'm going to wait to see what happens before I 
personally make any decisions to change my entire underlying virtualization 
infrastructure. In the meantime, I'll continue to work on what I can control - 
the underlying storage. And if oVirt does shutdown in the future, I'd love to 
have a conversation with anyone interested in helping out to fork the project 
and keep it running.

[ovirt-users] Re: Remove obsolete Gluster hyperconverged doc

2022-02-05 Thread David White via Users
I have had a lot of problems with gluster in my HCO environment, so was already 
leanings towards a storage migration at some point this year. My own plan is to 
use 2x Synology NAS SA3400 devices and put them into a HA pair that then 
exposes the storage as NFS (or whatever else I want it exposed as). 

I was planning on this migration before I saw the notes about Gluster support 
being officially dropped, and I would be happy to provide more insight to the 
list on how that progresses. I have a lot of experience with Synology, and they 
are a low-cost option for highly available storage.

Thank you very much.

Over the course of troubleshooting, I did wind up updating (and rebooting) the 
engine.

The issue "magically" resolved itself a few hours after I sent this email with 
the two Gluster nodes. They became operational again, and thus, I wound up 
having enough compute power to bring everything back online. That said, the 
compute-only node is still not operational. I'll take a look at the "gluster 
pool list" command. Thank you for that.

[ovirt-users] Major problems after upgrading 2 (of 4) Red Hat hosts to 4.4.10

2022-01-22 Thread David White via Users
I have a Hyperconverged cluster with 4 hosts.

Gluster is replicated across 2 hosts, and a 3rd host is an arbiter node.
The 4th host is compute only.

I updated the compute-only node, as well as the arbiter node, early this 
morning. I didn't touch either of the actual storage nodes.That said, I forgot 
to upgrade the engine.

oVirt Manager thinks that all but 1 of the hosts in the cluster are unhealthy. 
However, all 4 hosts are online. oVirt Manager (Engine) also keeps deactivating 
at least 1, if not 2  of the 3 (total) bricks behind each volume. 

Even though the Engine thinks that only 1 host is healthy, VMs are clearly 
running on some of the other hosts. However, in troubleshooting, some of the 
customer VMs were turned off, and oVirt is refusing to start those VMs, because 
it only recognizes that 1 of the hosts is healthy -- and that host's resources 
are maxed out.

This afternoon, I went ahead and upgraded (and rebooted) the Engine VM, so it 
is now up-to-date. Unfortunately, that didn't resolve the issue. So I took one 
of the "unhealthy" hosts which didn't have any VMs on it (which was the host 
that is our compute-only server hosting no gluster data), and I used oVirt to 
"reinstall" the oVirt software. That didn't resolve the issue for that host.

How can I troubleshoot this? I need:

-   To figure out why oVirt keeps trying to deactivate volumes

-   From the command line, `gluster peer status` show all nodes connected, and 
all volumes appear to be healthy



-   More importantly, I need to get these VMs that are currently down back 
online. Is there a way to somehow force oVirt to launch the VMs on the 
"unhealthy" nodes? 

What logs should I be looking at? Any help would be greatly appreciated .

[ovirt-users] Re: upgrade dependency issues

2021-11-11 Thread David White via Users
Hi team,
I saw that RHEL 8.5 was released yesterday, so I just put one of my hosts that 
doesn't have local gluster storage into maintenance mode and again attempted an 
update.

The update again failed through the oVirt web UI, and a `yum update` from the 
command line again failed with the same issues as I documented in this email 
thread earlier.
So I ran `yum update --disablerepo ovirt\*` successfully, then I tried a 
standard yum update again.

I'm still getting the same problems. Is there still an issue with upgrading to 
the latest version of oVirt, even when on RHEL 8.5?
I'm not going to paste the full stdout here, because there's a lot, but here's 
all of the "Problems".

Should I try a --no-best here?

Problem 1: cannot install the best update candidate for package 
vdsm-4.40.80.6-1.el8.x86_64
Problem 2: package vdsm-gluster-4.40.90.4-1.el8.x86_64 requires vdsm = 
4.40.90.4-1.el8, but none of the providers can be installed
Problem 3: package ovirt-host-dependencies-4.4.9-2.el8.x86_64 requires vdsm >= 
4.40.90, but none of the providers can be installed
Problem 4: package ovirt-host-4.4.9-2.el8.x86_64 requires 
ovirt-host-dependencies = 4.4.9-2.el8, but none of the providers can be 
installed
Problem 5: package ovirt-provider-ovn-driver-1.2.34-1.el8.noarch requires vdsm, 
but none of the providers can be installed
Problem 6: package ovirt-hosted-engine-ha-2.4.9-1.el8.noarch requires vdsm >= 
4.40.0, but none of the providers can be installed
Problem 7: problem with installed package vdsm-4.40.80.6-1.el8.x86_64
Problem 8: problem with installed package vdsm-gluster-4.40.80.6-1.el8.x86_64
Problem 9: problem with installed package 
ovirt-provider-ovn-driver-1.2.34-1.el8.noarch
Problem 10: problem with installed package 
ovirt-hosted-engine-ha-2.4.8-1.el8.noarch
Problem 11: package ovirt-hosted-engine-setup-2.5.4-2.el8.noarch requires 
ovirt-hosted-engine-ha >= 2.4, but none of the providers can be installed
Problem 12: problem with installed package 
ovirt-host-dependencies-4.4.8-1.el8.x86_64

I tried rebooting the system, but am getting the same errors, even on the RHEL 
8.5 kernel.

As an aside, I'm having a really frustrating time with my network 
configurations somehow getting somewhat reset on every system reboot, and it 
always takes me a while to get full network connectivity up and running again. 
I'm running into that issue yet again, but I don't want to derail the topic 
here... I can send another email if necessary.

[ovirt-users] Re: Unable to put host in maintenance mode & unable to login to Postgres

2021-10-27 Thread David White via Users
Still banging my head against the wall on this.
The point I'm trying to make here is that when the password is wrong, or when I 
don't enter the password, I get a clear message saying that the access was 
denied.

curl -u 'admin@internal'@'PASS' -X POST 
https://ovirt-engine1.mydomain.com/ovirt-engine/api/imagetransfers/2bf042e8-7ddd-4f43-a2b1-4a16de5c750a/finalize
 -k
Enter host password for user 'admin@internal@PASS':
Erroraccess_denied: Cannot authenticate 
user 'admin@internal@PASS': No valid profile found in 
credentials..d

When I use the correct password, on the other hand, I get no stdout, making me 
believe that the (correct) password is accepted, and works.I can easily login 
to ovirt-engine/api/imagetransfers and see the XML document. 

Here is the full stdout from when I run the curl with -vv, where it prompts for 
the password, and I enter it correctly:

~$ curl -vv -u admin@internal -X POST 
https://ovirt-engine1.mydomain.com/ovirt-engine/api/imagetransfers/2bf042e8-7ddd-4f43-a2b1-4a16de5c750a/finalize

2021-10-21 Thread David White via Users
When I tried with admin@internal@password, I got prompted for a password.

So then, I tried admin@internal without the password, and I got prompted for 
the password.

$ curl -u admin@internal@password -X POST 
https://ovirt-engine.mydomain.com/ovirt-engine/api/imagetransfers/2bf042e8-7ddd-4f43-a2b1-4a16de5c750a/finalize
 -k
Enter host password for user 'admin@internal@password':

$ curl -u admin@internal -X POST 
https://ovirt-engine.mydomain.com/ovirt-engine/api/imagetransfers/2bf042e8-7ddd-4f43-a2b1-4a16de5c750a/finalize
 -k
Enter host password for user 'admin@internal':

In the case of admin@internal@password, I got what I suspected, which was 
access denied... 

Erroraccess_denied: Cannot authenticate 
user 'admin@internal@password': No valid profile found in 
credentials..

In the other case, there was no stdout.

So then I ran a curl with -vv for verbose stdout, and I see this interesting 
tidbit:

Apparently, I don't have credentials to the API. My "admin" username & password 
aren't working, and I get this error:

I tried that, but whenever I use semicolons, I get a syntax error. Here's my 
full stdout with and without the semicolon:

You are now connected to database "engine" as user "postgres".

[ovirt-users] Re: Unable to put host in maintenance mode & unable to login to Postgres

2021-10-19 Thread David White via Users
Thank you.
However, that was one of the queries I already tried.

All of the queries I listed in my previous email returned empty results, which 
is why I was confused. Given the name of some of these tables, I expect to see 
some data in them.
I just tried re-running that query, making sure to capitalize the "FROM" just 
in case, but got the same results:

engine=# SELECT * FROM image_transfers
engine-#

I then went into the UI, and migrated a VM from 1 host to another.
During the migration, I re-ran that query, and it still came back empty.

Does this table store information about moving a disk from 1 volume to another, 
or moving VMs from 1 host to another?

2021-10-18 Thread David White via Users
Would this be found in the "image_transfers" table?

\dt shows me that there are 156 tables in the engine database.
And I see an image_transfers table. But it looks empty, like a lot of other 
tables. 

This seems strange to me. All of these tables are empty, unless I'm doing 
something wrong (I'm new to Postgres). 

engine=# SELECT * from images
engine-# SELECT * from image_transfers
engine-# select * from users
engine-# SELECT * from users
engine-# SELECT * from cluster
engine-# select * from vm_pools
engine-# select * from vm_static

[ovirt-users] Re: Understanding Cluster Networking between Hosts

2021-10-18 Thread David White via Users
Hi Brad,
What are you using for storage, and are you trying to setup both of your 
physical servers into the same cluster?

In my scenario (a hyperconverged environment with Gluster), ideally, you need 
two different networks, on separate network interfaces: One for your backend / 
storage network, and one for your frontend / VM network.

In my case, I actually have 3 networks:
* Backend Storage
* IPv4 frontend traffic
* IPv6 frontend traffic

[ovirt-users] Re: Unable to put host in maintenance mode & unable to login to Postgres

2021-10-17 Thread David White via Users
Thank you.
Unfortunately, this is still an issue. 

I have indeed tried running the taskcleaner.sh script, but I just tried it 
again.

[root@ovirt-engine1 dwhite]# PGPASSWORD=password 
/usr/share/ovirt-engine/setup/dbutils/taskcleaner.sh -Rt
This will remove all async_tasks table content!!!
Caution, this operation should be used with care. Please contact support prior 
to running this command
Are you sure you want to proceed? [y/n]
y
TRUNCATE TABLE

I then ran a select * from async_tasks... and we can confirm that there's zero 
rows:

engine=# SELECT * from async_tasks;task_id | action_type | status | result | 
step_id | command_id | started_at | storage_pool_id | task_type | vdsm_task_id 
| root_command_id | user_id
-+-+++-+++-+---+--+-+-
(0 rows)

I'm still unclear what SPM is.
I ran that command on the "problematic" host, and I get this stdout,

[root@cha1-storage]# vdsm-client Host getAllTasksStatusesvdsm-client: Command 
Host.getAllTasksStatuses with args {} failed:
(code=654, message=Not SPM: ())

And finally, I tried Strahil's suggestion:

[root@ovirt-engine1 dwhite]# PGPASSWORD=password 
/usr/share/ovirt-engine/setup/dbutils/unlock_entity.sh -t all -r
##
CAUTION, this operation may lead to data corruption and should be used with 
care. Please contact support prior to running this command
##

Are you sure you want to proceed? [y/n]
y
select fn_db_unlock_all();

INSERT 0 1
unlock all  completed successfully.

Unfortunately, I'm still getting the same error message in the admin UI with 
the 3 disks listed as "image transfer in progress".

[ovirt-users] Re: Unable to put host in maintenance mode & unable to login to Postgres

2021-10-16 Thread David White via Users
This is still an issue.
As part of my troubleshooting process, I manually migrated all of the VMs off 
of this host. When I still couldn't put it into maintenance mode, I manually 
ran "yum update" from the command line, and then rebooted it.

The oVirt UI detected that it was down, and marked it as "Unavailable" for a 
while, but once the host came back up, everything was marked green again, and 
the host is a useful part of the cluster.

Unfortunately, I still cannot put it into maintenance mode because oVirt still 
thinks these disks are locked.

[ovirt-users] Re: Engine insists on running on 1 host in cluster when that host is online

2021-10-16 Thread David White via Users
Thank you very much.
I was able to resolve the score issue. Turns out there were multiple static 
routes on this first host, including to a gateway address that I had 
temporarily setup right when I built the new network in the new datacenter for 
testing purposes.

The symptoms were weird. I was able to dig and resolve public DNS perfectly 
fine. I was also able to ping public IP addresses perfectly fine. But I was not 
able to ping or access any content using DNS (i.e. yum couldn't download, for 
example).

Once I identified the faulty route, fixed it, and re-synchronized the Network 
settings inside the oVirt UI, the score immediately jumped back up to 3400.

I was also able to (successfully) test my high availability storage this 
morning, and confirmed that everything still worked when that host was 
completely rebooted.

Thank you very much.
I was able to (re)set the `engine` user's password in Postgres.
Unfortunately, I'm still having trouble unlocking the disks.

The following command produces no output underneath "Locked disks" when I run 
this command on the hosted engine VM:

[root@ovirt-engine1 dwhite]# PGPASSWORD=snip 
/usr/share/ovirt-engine/setup/dbutils/unlock_entity.sh -t disk -qLocked disks

However, in the oVirt UI, when I try to put the host into maintenance mode I 
continue to get the message that there are (3) locked disks (screenshot below).
[Screenshot from 2021-10-15 04-29-15.png]

I've tried the following multiple times:

PGPASSWORD=snip /usr/share/ovirt-engine/setup/dbutils/unlock_entity.sh -t disk 
e0f46dc5-7f98-47cf-a586-4645177bd6a2##CAUTION,

[ovirt-users] Unable to put host in maintenance mode & unable to login to Postgres

2021-10-14 Thread David White via Users
I am trying to put a host into maintenance mode, and keep getting this error:

Error while executing action: Cannot switch Host cha1-storage.my-domain.com to 
Maintenance mode. Image transfer is in progress for the following (3) disks:

e0f46dc5-7f98-47cf-a586-4645177bd6a2,
06bd3678-bfab-4793-a839-ec8cad4b96e5,
13cef086-3878-463b-a224-cc42b44d8468

Reviewing documentation online, it seems I need to do this:
   PGPASSWORD=pass /usr/share/ovirt-engine/setup/dbutils/unlock_entity.sh -t 
disk e0f46dc5-7f98-47cf-a586-4645177bd6a2
   PGPASSWORD=pass /usr/share/ovirt-engine/setup/dbutils/unlock_entity.sh -t 
disk 06bd3678-bfab-4793-a839-ec8cad4b96e5
   PGPASSWORD=pass /usr/share/ovirt-engine/setup/dbutils/unlock_entity.sh -t 
disk 13cef086-3878-463b-a224-cc42b44d8468
   /usr/share/ovirt-engine/setup/dbutils/taskcleaner.sh -R

When I run those commands, it *seems* to run successfully.
However, I don't think that I have the correct password, because I cannot get a 
psql interface:

[root@ovirt-engine1 ovirt-engine]# psql -U admin -h localhost -p 5432
psql: error: FATAL:  Ident authentication failed for user "admin"
[root@ovirt-engine1 ovirt-engine]# psql -U admin -W -h localhost -p 5432
Password:
psql: error: FATAL:  Ident authentication failed for user "admin"
[root@ovirt-engine1 ovirt-engine]# psql -U engine -h localhost -p 5432
Password for user engine:

Checking 
https://www.ovirt.org/develop/developer-guide/db-issues/postgresql-changing-db-pass.html,
 I tried:
[root@ovirt-engine1 ovirt-engine]# read PASSWD
/etc/pki/ovirt-engine/encryptpasswd.sh
[root@ovirt-engine1 ovirt-engine]# cat /etc/pki/ovirt-engine/encryptpasswd.sh 
$PASSWD
cat: /etc/pki/ovirt-engine/encryptpasswd.sh: No such file or directory
cat: /etc/pki/ovirt-engine/encryptpasswd.sh: No such file or directory

I must be doing something wrong here. 

1) How can I reset the Postgres password? What user should I be using?
2) Once I have the correct password, will the commands I provided earlier work 
to unlock the disk?

[ovirt-users] Re: Engine insists on running on 1 host in cluster when that host is online

2021-10-12 Thread David White via Users
I think I'm making progress.

I had 1 storage domain that was hardly used, so in the oVirt UI, I migrated 
production data onto a different storage domain, and then I put that storage 
domain into maintenance mode. I was then able to edit the mount options for 
that storage domain.

The path is still as it was originally:
cha1-storage.my-domain.com:/data

But I added the following as a mount option. Does this look right?
backup-volfile-servers=cha2-storage.my-domain.com

Essentially, my goal here is for high availability storage. I want to be able 
to reboot cha1-storage, and still have everything remain online.

For the Hosted Storage, can I do this from the command line without putting 
that into maintenance mode? This is what I see right now:

[root@cha2-storage dwhite]# hosted-engine --get-shared-config storage 
--type=he_local
storage : cha1-storage.my-domain.com:/engine, type : he_local

That must be the problem.

Host a has a score of 1800.
Host c has a score of 3400.

I was able to deploy the hosted-engine to Host B through the web UI.

1) Put it in maintenance mode

2) Installation -> Reinstall ... and make sure to select "Deploy" for the 
hosted-engine

How do I fix / change the score on the first node?

Separately, I'm still confused how I would update oVirt to use the 2nd replica 
as a mount point. Healing the volume seems to me like a completely different 
task than reconfiguring oVirt to mount the 2nd replica in its mount options?

[ovirt-users] Engine insists on running on 1 host in cluster when that host is online

2021-10-12 Thread David White via Users
About a month ago, I completely rebuilt my oVirt cluster, as I needed to move 
all my hardware from 1 data center to another with minimal downtime.
All my hardware is in the new data center (yay for HIPAA compliance and 24/7 
access, unlike the old place!)

I originally built the cluster as a single-node hyperconverged. I then added 
nodes to it, and then, finally, I reconfigured gluster to run in a replica 2 / 
arbiter 1 configuration.

As of now:

-   I have 4 compute hosts
-   Gluster is running fine and replicating fine between the two full replicas, 
along with the arbiter node

-   I need to revisit my recent email about gluster replication speed, though

However, I'm worried about two things:

-   I think that my hosts, and hosted-engine, are all still configured to use 
the single mount point from the original single-node hyperconverged ... i.e. if 
I shutdown / reboot that host, then the storage "goes away"

-   How do I reconfigure oVirt to use the 2nd replica as a secondary mount 
point?



-   Currently, the Engine is deployed on two of the servers (a and c). But any 
time one of those servers is online (c), the hosted-engine insists on running 
on that server c. I cannot migrate the engine off of c.


And if the engine is running on the other host a, then I turn host c back 
on, the engine shuts down from a, and comes back up on c.

-   How do I "fix" this so that the engine will run on host a, even when host c 
is turned on?
-   How do I deploy the hosted-engine to host b?

-   Is it as simple as logging into host b, and running "hosted-engine 
--deploy" ?

[ovirt-users] Slow gluster replication

2021-10-09 Thread David White via Users
I can't remember if I've asked this already, or if someone else has brought 
this up.
I have noticed that gluster replication in a hyperconverged environment is very 
slow.

I just (successfully, this time) added a brick to volume that was originally 
built on a single-node Hyperconverged cluster. 

One of my volumes has over 600GB, but the network is 10Gbps, so replication 
really shouldn't take that long.

It's been over two hours, and that volume has only replicated a little over 
400GB. It feels like it's taking about 1GB every 30 seconds - 1 minute or so...

Why would this replication be so slow?

[ovirt-users] Re: NFS storage was locked for 45 minutes after I attempted a clone operation

2021-09-03 Thread David White via Users
The save operation is going at a snail's pace, though.

Using "watch du -skh", I counted about 5-7 seconds per .1 GB (1/10 of 1GB).
It's a virtual disk, but I'm using over 200GB... so at this rate, it'll take a 
very long time.

I wonder if Pascal is on to something, and the export is happening over the 
frontend 1GB network?

I'm going to cancel this operation, as the VM has now been down for close to an 
hour.

[ovirt-users] Re: NFS storage was locked for 45 minutes after I attempted a clone operation

2021-09-03 Thread David White via Users
Update perhaps I have discovered a bug somewhere?

I started another export after hours (it's very early morning hours right now, 
and I can tolerate a little downtime on this VM). I had the same symptoms, but 
this time, I just left it alone. I waited about 45 minutes with no progress.

I then ssh'd to the NFS destination (also on the 10Gbps storage network), and 
running tcpdump, I didn't see any traffic coming across the wire.

So I then powered off my VM, and I immediately began to see a new backup image 
appear in my NFS export. 

I wonder if the VM was trying to snapshot the memory and there wasn't enough on 
the host or something? The VM has 16GB of RAM, and there are multiple VMs on 
that host (although the host itself has 64GB of physical RAM, so should have 
been plenty).

[ovirt-users] NFS storage was locked for 45 minutes after I attempted a clone operation

2021-08-25 Thread David White via Users
I have an HCI cluster running on Gluster storage. I exposed an NFS share into 
oVirt as a storage domain so that I could clone all of my VMs (I'm preparing to 
move physically to a new datacenter). I got 3-4 VMs cloned perfectly fine 
yesterday. But then this evening, I tried to clone a big VM, and it caused the 
disk to lock up. The VM went totally unresponsive, and I didn't see a way to 
cancel the clone. Nagios NRPE (on the client VM) was reporting server load over 
65+, but I was never able to establish an SSH connection. 

Eventually, I tried restarting the ovirt-engine, per 
https://access.redhat.com/solutions/396753. When that didn't work, I powered 
down the VM completely. But the disks were still locked. So I then tried to put 
the storage domain into maintenance mode, but that wound up putting the entire 
domain into a "locked" state. Finally, eventually, the disks unlocked, and I 
was able to power the VM back online.

>From start to finish, my VM was down for about 45 minutes, including the time 
>when NRPE was still sending data to Nagios.

What logs should I look at, and how can I troubleshoot what went wrong here, 
and hopefully avoid this from happening again?

Thank you.
Yes, for me, a lot of the unknowns is simply identifying which log files I need 
to look at, and where.

I see 3 log files in the ovirt-engine/ova/ directory for a single export task:

[root@ovirt-engine1 ova]# pwd
/var/log/ovirt-engine/ova
[root@ovirt-engine1 ova]# ls -la | grep "2ee56518741d.log"
-rw-r--r--.  1 ovirt ovirt 16500 Aug 21 20:34 
ovirt-export-ova-ansible-20210821203427-cha2-storage.mgt.example.com-f1e24123-7aa4-4398-96dd-2ee56518741d.log
-rw-r--r--.  1 ovirt ovirt  8680 Aug 21 20:33

As this is a lot of data, should I include it in the email, or would it be 
better to put it into pastebin or provide a link to access these files?

[ovirt-users] OVA Export to local storage failes

2021-08-21 Thread David White via Users
I have an unused 200GB partition that I'd like to use to copy / export / backup 
a few VMs onto, so I mounted it to one of my oVirt hosts as /ova-images/, and 
then ran "chown 36:36" on ova-images.
>From the engine, I then tried to export an OVA to that directory.

Watching the directory with "ls", I see a filename.ova.tmp eventually appear, 
and it grows to the size I would expect for the image... and then a few seconds 
later, it disappears.

What am I missing?

Here's what I see in the Event Manager inside the Engine:

[ovirt-users] Moving datacenters & IP addresses with minimal downtime

2021-08-21 Thread David White via Users
So it looks like I'm going to move to a new datacenter. I went into somewhere 
cheap on a month-to-month contract earlier this year, and they've been a pain 
to deal with. At the same time, I've grown a lot faster than expected, so I've 
decided to move into a better, more reputable datacenter sooner rather than 
later.

I currently have HCI with 3 servers. Within the cluster, I can tolerate a host 
"failure", so I can run on 2 servers. I have a 4th server that I haven't really 
been doing anything yet, but I think will be a good asset to me as I move, to 
keep things to a minimum. One of my production nodes, as well as my 4th server 
don't have the right storage, so if/when I move things, I'll need to configure 
Gluster to run on a single node for a time. 

I'd like to ask about best practices here.
Before I move any hardware, I'm thinking about removing 1 of my 3 production 
servers from the existing HCI cluster, and installing a NEW hyperconverged 
single node onto this production server with Gluster storage. Then, add my 4th 
server to that new oVirt environment. Once I did that, I'm wondering if I could 
clone 100% of the VMs from the 1 environment over to the other.

Once that was done, I could move one of my oVirt clusters to the new 
datacenter, update DNS for the virtual servers, run a final rsync, and I'm done 
-- then I would just move the other two servers, do a fresh install of oVirt, 
and add them to the new cluster. 

Is this possible? 
Is there a better way to do this move?

Thanks,David

[ovirt-users] Re: Hosted engine on HCI cluster is not running

2021-08-13 Thread David White via Users
Of course right when I sent this email, I went back over to one of my consoles, 
re-ran "hosted-engine --status", and I saw that it was up. I can confirm my 
hosted engine is now online and healthy.

So to recap: restarting vdsmd solved my problem.

I provided lots of details in the Bugzilla, and I generated an sosreport on two 
of my three systems prior to restarting vdsmd.

[ovirt-users] Re: Hosted engine on HCI cluster is not running

2021-08-13 Thread David White via Users
I have updated the Bugzilla with all of the details I included below, as well 
as additional details. 

I figured better to err on the side of providing too many details than not 
enough. 


For the oVirt list's edification, I will note that restarting vdsmd on all 3 
hosts did fix the problem -- to an extent. Unfortunately, my hosted-engine is 
still not starting (although I can now clearly connect to the hosted-engine 
storage), and I see this output every time I try to start the hosted-engine:

[root@cha2-storage ~]# hosted-engine --vm-start
Command VM.getStats with args {'vmID': 'ffd77d79-a699-455e-88e2-f55ee53166ef'} 
failed:
(code=1, message=Virtual machine does not exist: {'vmId': 
'ffd77d79-a699-455e-88e2-f55ee53166ef'})
VM in WaitForLaunch

I'm not sure if that's because I screwed up when I was doing gluster 
maintenance, or what.
But at this point, does this mean I have to re-deploy the hosted engine?
To confirm, if I re-deploy the hosted engine, will all of my regular VMs remain 
intact? I have over 20 VMs in this environment, and it would be a major deal to 
have to rebuild all 20+ of those VMs.

[ovirt-users] Hosted engine on HCI cluster is not running

2021-08-13 Thread David White via Users
Hello,
It appears that my Manager / hosted-engine isn't working, and I'm unable to get 
it to start.

I have a 3-node HCI cluster, but right now, Gluster is only running on 1 host 
(so no replication).
I was hoping to upgrade / replace the storage on my 2nd host today, but aborted 
that maintenance when I found that I couldn't even get into the Manager.

The storage is mounted, but here's what I see:

> configuration has not been retrieved from shared storage. Please ensure that 
> ovirt-ha-agent is running and the storage server is reachable.

Any time I try to do anything like connect the engine storage, disconnect the 
engine storage, or connect to the console, it just sits there, and doesn't do 
anything, and I eventually have to ctl-c out of it.
Maybe I have to be patient? When I ctl-c, I get a trackback error:

[ovirt-users] Re: Data recovery from (now unused, but still mounted) Gluster Volume for a single VM

2021-08-06 Thread David White via Users
Thank you for all the responses.
Following Strahil's instructions, I *think* that I was able to reconstruct the 
disk image. I'm just waiting for that image to finish downloading onto my local 
machine, at which point I'll try to import into VirtualBox or something. 
Fingers crossed!

Worst case scenario, I do have backups for that particular VM from 3 months 
ago, which I have already restored onto a new VM.
Losing 3 months of data is much better than losing 100% of the data from the 
past 2-3+ years.

Thank you.

Ok, so right now, my production cluster is operating off of a single brick. I 
was planning on expanding the storage on the 2nd host next week, and adding 
that back into the cluster, and getting the Replica 2, Arbiter 1 redundancy 
working again.

How would you recommend I proceed with that plan, knowing that I'm currently 
operating off of a single brick in which I did NOT specify the size with 
`mkfs.xfs -i size=512?
Should I specify the size on the new brick I build next week, and then once 
everything is healed, reformat the current brick?

You are correct in that I'm using 3-node HCI. I originally built HCI with 
Gluster replication on all 3 nodes (Replica 3). As I'm increasing the storage, 
I'm also moving to an architecture of Replica 2/Arbiter 1. So yes, the plan was:

1) Convert FROM Replica 3 TO replica 2/arbiter 1
2) Convert again down to a Replica 1 (so no replication... just operating 
storage on a single host)
3) Rebuild the RAID array (with larger storage) on one of the unused hosts, and 
rebuild the gluster bricks
4) Add the larger RAID back into gluster, let it heal
5) Now, remove the bricks from the host with the smaller storage -- THIS is 
where things went awry, and what caused the data loss on this 1 particular VM
--- This is where I am currently ---
6) Rebuild the RAID array on the remaining host that is now unused (This is 
what I am / was planning to do next week)

2021-08-03 Thread David White via Users
Hi Patrick,
This would be amazing, if possible.

Checking /gluster_bricks/data/data on the host where I've removed (but not 
replaced) the bricks, I see a single directory.
When I go into that directory, I see two directories:

dom_md
images

If I go into the images directory, I think I see the hash folders that you're 
referring to, and inside each of those, I see the 3 files you referenced.

Unfortunately, those files clearly don't have all of the data.
The parent folder for all of the hash folders is only 687M.

[root@cha1-storage data]# du -skh *
687M31366488-d845-445b-b371-e059bf71f34f

And the "iso" files are small. The one I'm looking at now is only 19M.
It appears that most of the actual data is located in 
/gluster_bricks/data/data/.glusterfs, and all of those folders are totally 
random, incomprehensible directories that I'm not sure how to understand.

Perhaps you were on an older version of Gluster, and the actual data hierarchy 
is different?
I don't know. But I do see the 3 files you referenced, so that's a start, even 
if they are nowhere near the correct size.

[ovirt-users] Data recovery from (now unused, but still mounted) Gluster Volume for a single VM

2021-08-02 Thread David White via Users
My hyperconverged cluster was running out of space.
The reason for that is a good problem to have - I've grown more in the last 4 
months than in the past 4-5 years combined.

But the downside was, I had to go ahead and upgrade my storage, and it became 
urgent to do so.
I began that process last week.

I have 3 volumes:

[root@cha2-storage dwhite]# gluster volume list
data
engine
vmstore

I did the following on all 3 of my volumes:
1) Converted cluster from Replica 3 to Replica 2, arbiter 1

-   I did run into an issue where some VMs were paused, but I was able to 
poweroff and power on those VMs again with no issue

2) Ran the following on Host 2: 
# gluster volume remove-brick data replica 1 
cha1-storage.mgt.my-domain.com:/gluster_bricks/data/data force
# gluster volume remove-brick vmstore replica 1 
cha1-storage.mgt.my-domain.com:/gluster_bricks/vmstore/vmstore force
# gluster volume remove-brick engine replica 1 
cha1-storage.mgt.my-domain.com:/gluster_bricks/engine/engine force
(rebuilt the array & reboot the server -- when I rebooted, I commented out the 
original UUIDs from /etc/fstab for the gluster storage)
# lvcreate -L 2157G --zero n -T gluster_vg_sdb/gluster_thinpool_gluster_vg_sdb
# lvcreate -L 75G -n gluster_lv_engine gluster_vg_sdb
# lvcreate -V 600G --thin -n gluster_lv_data 
gluster_vg_sdb/gluster_thinpool_gluster_vg_sdb
# lvcreate -V 1536G --thin -n gluster_lv_vmstore 
gluster_vg_sdb/gluster_thinpool_gluster_vg_sdb
# mkfs.xfs /dev/gluster_vg_sdb/gluster_lv_engine
# mkfs.xfs /dev/gluster_vg_sdb/gluster_lv_data
# mkfs.xfs /dev/gluster_vg_sdb/gluster_lv_vmstore
At this point, I ran lsblk --fs to get the new UUIDs, and put them into 
/etc/fstab 
# mount -a
# gluster volume add-brick engine replica 2 
cha2-storage.mgt.my-domain.com:/gluster_bricks/engine/engine force
# gluster volume add-brick vmstore replica 2 
cha2-storage.mgt.my-domain.com:/gluster_bricks/vmstore/vmstore force
# gluster volume add-brick data replica 2 
cha2-storage.mgt.my-domain.com:/gluster_bricks/data/data force
So far so good.

3) I was running critically low on disk space on the replica, so I:- Let the 
gluster volume heal

- Then I removed the Host 1 bricks from the volumes

When I removed the Host 1 bricks, I made sure that there were no additional 
healing tasks, then proceeded to do so:# gluster volume remove-brick data 
replica 1 cha1-storage.mgt.my-domain.com:/gluster_bricks/data/data force
# gluster volume remove-brick vmstore replica 1 
cha1-storage.mgt.my-domain.com:/gluster_bricks/vmstore/vmstore force

At this point, I ran into problems.
All of my VMs went into a Paused state, and I had to reboot all of them.
All VMs came back online, but two VMs were corrupted. I wound up re-building 
them from scratch.

Unfortunately, we lost a lot of data on 1 of the VMs, as I didn't realize 
backups were broken on that particular VM.

Is there a way for me to go into those disks (that are still mounted to Host 
1), examine the Gluster content, and somehow mount / recover the data from the 
VM that we lost?

[ovirt-users] Re: Reconfigure Gluster from Replica 3 to Arbiter 1/Replica 2

2021-07-19 Thread David White via Users
Thank you.
I'm doing some more research & reading on this to make sure I understand 
everything before I do this work.

Would it be safer to remove-brick replica 1 before I destroy the brick?

Also, you suggested creating a fresh logical volume on the node where I'm 
converting from full replica to arbiter.
Would it not suffice to simply go in and erase all of the data?

I'm still not clear on how to force gluster to use a specific server as the 
arbiter node.
Will gluster just "figure it out" if the logical volume on the arbiter is 
smaller than on the other two nodes?

I'm also still a little bit unclear on why I need to specifically increase the 
inode when I go to add-brick on the arbiter node. Or is that when (if?) I 
rebuild the Logical Volume?
Do I need to increase the inode on the other two servers after I grow the RAID 
on the two primary storage servers?

Below is an overview of the specific steps I think I need to take, in order:

Prepare:
Put cluster into global maintenance mode
Run the following commands:
# gluster volume status data inode

host 3 (Arbiter):
# gluster volume remove-brick data replica 2 
host3.mgt.example.com:/gluster_bricks/data/data
# rm -rf /gluster_bricks/data/data/*
# ALTERNATIVELY... rebuild the logical volume? Is this really necessary?
# gluster volume add-brick data replica 3 arbiter 1 
host3.mgt.example.com:/gluster_bricks/data/data

(Let the volumes heal completely) 


host 1
# gluster volume remove-brick data replica 1 
host1.mgt.example.com:/gluster_bricks/data/data
(rebuild the array & reboot the server)
# gluster volume add-brick data replica 3 arbiter 1 
host1.mgt.example.com:/gluster_bricks/data/data

(Let the volumes heal completely)

host 2
# gluster volume remove-brick data replica 1 
host1.mgt.example.com:/gluster_bricks/data/data
(rebuild the array & reboot the server)
# gluster volume add-brick data replica 3 arbiter 1 
host1.mgt.example.com:/gluster_bricks/data/data

[ovirt-users] Re: Reconfigure Gluster from Replica 3 to Arbiter 1/Replica 2

2021-07-10 Thread David White via Users
HI Jayme & Strahil,
Thank you again for your messages.

Reading 
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/52394849/can-i-change-glusterfs-replica-3-to-replica-3-with-arbiter-1,
 I think I understand now what Strahil is suggesting.

It sounds to me like you're saying I can reconfigure the existing gluster 
volume (don't destroy it) by changing it from a Replica 3 over to a Replica 
2/Arbiter 1.

Then once I do that operation, I can THEN go in and put the two hosts into 
maintenance mode one at a time to rebuild the RAID arrays, and then heal the 
volume on the larger RAID.

So it would look like this:
1) Put 3rd host into maintenance mode & verify no heals are necessary
2) Make the 3rd host the arbiter
2a) remove-brick replica 2
-- if I understand correctly, this will basically just reconfigure the existing 
volume to replicate between the 2 bricks, and not all 3 ... is this correct?

2b) add-brick replicat 3 arbiter 1
-- If I understand correctly, this will reconfigure the volume (again), adding 
the 3rd server's storage back to the Gluster volume, but only as an arbiter 
node, correct?

3) Now with everything healthy, the volume is now a Replica 2 / Arbiter 1 
and I can now stop gluster on each of the 2 servers getting the storage 
upgrade, rebuild the RAID on the new storage, reboot, and let gluster heal 
itself before moving on to the next server.

Do I understand this process right?

Jayme's idea to use my 4th server as a temporary NFS location is not a bad 
idea. I could definitely do that, "just in case" the Gluster volume got 
corrupted. Unfortunately my backup server has spinning disks instead of SSD 
drives, but speed wouldn't be too noticeable, and I could do it over a weekend 
or something. 

Thanks again for your input.

2021-07-10 Thread David White via Users
Hmm right as I said that, I just had a thought.
I DO have a "backup" server in place (that I haven't even started using yet), 
that currently has some empty hard drive bays.

It would take some extra work, but I could use that 4th backup server as a 
temporary staging ground to begin building the new Gluster configuration. Once 
I have that server + 2 of my production servers rebuilt properly, I could then 
simply remove and replace this "backup" server with my 3rd server in the 
cluster.

So this effectively means that I have 2 servers that I can take down completely 
at a single time to rebuild gluster, instead of just 1. I think that simplifies 
things.

[ovirt-users] Re: Reconfigure Gluster from Replica 3 to Arbiter 1/Replica 2

2021-07-10 Thread David White via Users
Thank you. And yes, I agree, this needs to occur in a maintenance window and be 
done very carefully. :)

My only problem with this method is that I need to *replace* disks in the two 
servers.
I don't have any empty hard drive bays, so will effectively need to put a host 
into maintenance mode, remove the drives, and put new drives in.

I will NOT be touching the OS drives, however, as those are on their own 
separate RAID array. 

So, essentially, it will need to look something like this:

-   Put the cluster into global maintenance mode
-   Put 1 host into full maintenance mode / deactivate it
-   Stop gluster
-   Remove the storage
-   Add the new storage & reconfigure
-   Start gluster
-   Re-add the host to the cluster

Adding the new storage & reconfiguring is the head scratcher for me, given that 
I don't have room for the old hard drives + new hard drives at the same time.

[ovirt-users] Reconfigure Gluster from Replica 3 to Arbiter 1/Replica 2

2021-07-09 Thread David White via Users
My current hyperconverged environment is replicating data across all 3 servers.
I'm running critically low on disk space, and need to add space.

To that end, I've ordered 8x 800GB ssd drives, and plan to put 4 drives in 1 
server, and 4 drives in the other.

What's my best option for reconfiguring the hyperconverged cluster, to change 
gluster storage away from Replica 3 to a Replica 2 / Arbiter model?
I'd really prefer not to have to reinstall things from scratch, but I'll do 
that if I have to.

My most important requirement is that I cannot have any downtime for my VMs (so 
I can only reconfigure 1 host at a time).

[ovirt-users] IPv6 Support

2021-06-27 Thread David White via Users
Hello,
Reading 
https://www.ovirt.org/documentation/administration_guide/index.html#IPv6-networking-support-labels,
 I see this tidbit:

-   Dual-stack addressing, IPv4andIPv6, is not supported
-   Switching clusters from IPv4 to IPv6 is not supported.

If I'm understanding this correctly... does that mean I cannot run some VMs 
with IPv4, and other VMs with IPv6, in the same cluster?
If so, that's incredibly disappointing and frustrating.

Is Dual-stack addressing a possible feature request?
IPv4 addresses are expensive... and I have a couple of customers who only needs 
IPv6, so would really prefer to avoid having to pay for IPv4 addresses for them.

[ovirt-users] Rootless Podman container not displaying in oVirt Manager

2021-06-08 Thread David White via Users
I deployed a rootless Podman container on a RHEL 8 guest on Saturday (3 days 
ago).

At the time, I remember seeing some selinux AVC "denied" messages related to 
qemu-guest-agent and podman, but I didn't have time to look into it further, 
but made a mental note to come back to it, because it really smelled like a bug 
to me.
So, I came back to it this afternoon, and now I see nothing when I look for 
`ausearch -m AVC`

I restarted the `quemu-guest-agent` service with systemctl, and ran `ausearch 
-m AVC` again, hoping to see some results, but I still don't.
I really wish that I had at least copied the AVC message I saw on Saturday for 
later investigation, but I fully expected to be able to find that information 
again today.

Regardless, I have a rootless container running on the guest VM.
When I login to the oVirt Manager and navigate to the VM -> Containers, I don't 
see anything listed.

On Saturday, I thought this was a bug with selinux and qemu-guest-agent.
But now, I have no idea.

Any thoughts?

[ovirt-users] Re: Booting VMs from RHEL ISOs fail

2021-06-08 Thread David White via Users
Correct, I didn't see any errors.
I seem to recall this happening to me a couple months ago or so when I was 
first setting up the environment as well.

I'll spend some time (it may not be until this weekend) trying to reproduce the 
error, and collecting some logs.

No, I do not use an external certificate. 
(And I did / do use the "Test Connection" button)

Which logs would be helpful?

[ovirt-users] Re: Booting VMs from RHEL ISOs fail

2021-06-05 Thread David White via Users
I finally got this to work.
I believe that my issue was that when I thought I had uploaded the ISO, the ISO 
wasn't actually being uploaded successfully.

I tried to upload various ISOs to different Storage Domains, and eventually 
noticed that in a couple of cases, I would see a status bar that slowly 
incremented over time indicating the percentage of the upload complete - 
whereas before, there would be no status bar, and the oVirt Manager would 
indicate that the ISO had just been uploaded completely.

I was able to "replicate" this status bar with the RHEL ISO, and now my VM is 
booting to that ISO fine.

Problem resolved.

[ovirt-users] Re: what is the best practice for the new install CentOS 8.4 or stream?

2021-06-05 Thread David White via Users
If you plan on using CentOS going forward, I would recommend using (starting 
with) stream, as CentOS 8 will be completely EOL at the end of this year.

That said, you can easily convert a CentOS 8 server to CentOS Stream by running 
these commands: 

dnf swap centos-linux-repos centos-stream-repos
dnf distro-sync

See https://www.centos.org/centos-stream/

More details here:

I just tested this (new) VM now on a CentOS 7 ISO.
That worked perfectly fine.

But as soon as I tried to attach the RHEL 8 Boot ISO, it did not work.
The specific error I'm seeing is:

Boot failed: Could not read from CDROM (code 0095).

[ovirt-users] Re: Booting VMs from RHEL ISOs fail

2021-06-04 Thread David White via Users
I uploaded the RHEL ISOs the same way I uploaded the Ubuntu ISOs:
Navigate to Storage -> Disks and click Upload (so using the wizard).

Once the ISOs are in place, I've attached them to VMs the same way I've 
attached Ubuntu ISOs: Select the Virtual Machine, click Edit, go to Boot 
Options, click the checkbox beside "Attach CD" and change the First Device to 
CD-ROM.

The oVirt Manager is 4.4.6, but the cluster compatibility is stuck at 4.4.5 
right now.
This particular problem has been ongoing, though, since before I attempted to 
upgrade everything to 4.4.6.

[ovirt-users] Re: How to handle broken NFS storage?

2021-06-04 Thread David White via Users
When I stopped the NFS service, I was connect to a VM over ssh.
I was also connected to one of the physical hosts over ssh, and was running top.

I observed that server load continued to increase over time on the physical 
host.
Several of the VMs (perhaps all?), including the one I was connected to, went 
down due to an underlying storage issue.
It appears to me that HA VMs were restarted automatically. For example, I see 
the following in the oVirt Manager Event Log (domain names changed / redacted):


Jun 4, 2021, 4:25:42 AM
Highly Available VM server2.example.com failed. It will be restarted 
automatically.

Jun 4, 2021, 4:25:42 AM
Highly Available VM mail.example.com failed. It will be restarted automatically.

Jun 4, 2021, 4:25:42 AM
Highly Available VM core1.mgt.example.com failed. It will be restarted 
automatically.

Jun 4, 2021, 4:25:42 AM
VM cha1-shared.example.com has been paused due to unknown storage error.

Jun 4, 2021, 4:25:42 AM
VM server.example.org has been paused due to storage I/O problem.

Jun 4, 2021, 4:25:42 AM

VM server.example.org has been paused due to unknown storage error.

Jun 4, 2021, 4:25:41 AM
VM HostedEngine has been paused due to storage I/O problem.


During this outage, I also noticed that customer websites were not working.
So I clearly took an outage.

I don't have a separate lab environment, but if I'm able to reproduce the issue 
off hours, I may try to do so.
What logs would be helpful?

If I'm understanding you correctly, it sounds like you're suggesting that I 
just connect 1 (or multiple) hosts to the NFS mount manually, and don't use the 
oVirt manager to build the backup domain. Then just run this script on a cron 
or something - is that correct?

[ovirt-users] Booting VMs from RHEL ISOs fail

2021-06-04 Thread David White via Users
Ever since I deployed oVirt a couple months ago, I've been unable to boot any 
VMs from a RHEL ISO.
Ubuntu works fine, as does CentOS.

I've tried multiple RHEL 8 ISOs on multiple VMs. 
I've destroyed and re-uploaded the ISOs, and I've also destroyed and re-created 
the VMs.

Every time I try to boot a VM to a RHEL 8 ISO, the console just tells me that 
"No boot device" was found.

Can anyone think of any reason why other ISOs would work, when RHEL ISOs do not 
work? How can I troubleshoot this further?
I really need to get a server up and running with Podman.

[ovirt-users] How to handle broken NFS storage?

2021-06-04 Thread David White via Users
I'm trying to figure out how to keep a "broken" NFS mount point from causing 
the entire HCI cluster to crash.

HCI is working beautifully.
Last night, I finished adding some NFS storage to the cluster - this is storage 
that I don't necessarily need to be HA, and I was hoping to store some backups 
and less-important VMs on, since my Gluster (sssd) storage availability is 
pretty limited.

But as a test, after I got everything setup, I stopped the nfs-server.
This caused the entire cluster to go down, and several VMs - that are not 
stored on the NFS storage - went belly up.

Once I started the NFS server process again, HCI did what it was supposed to 
do, and was able to automatically recover.
My concern is that NFS is a single point of failure, and if VMs that don't even 
rely on that storage are affected if the NFS storage goes away, then I don't 
want anything to do with it.
On the other hand, I'm still struggling to come up with a good way to run 
on-site backups and snapshots without using up more gluster space on my (more 
expensive) sssd storage.

Is there any way to setup NFS storage for a Backup Domain - as well as a Data 
domain (for lesser important VMs) - such that, if the NFS server crashed, all 
of my non-NFS stuff would be unaffected?

[ovirt-users] Adding a 4th compute host to a HCI environment

2021-05-26 Thread David White via Users
Hello,
Is there documentation anywhere for adding a 4th compute-only host to an 
existing HCI cluster?

I did the following earlier today:

-   Installed RHEL 8.4 onto the new (4th) host
-   Setup an NFS share on the host
-   Attached the NFS share to oVirt as a new storage domain

-   I then turned the NFS share into a "backup domain"

-   Once that was done, I installed ovirt-release44.rpm, followed by some ovirt 
packages:

-   yum install https://resources.ovirt.org/pub/yum-repo/ovirt-release44.rpm
-   yum install cockpit-ovirt-dashboard vdsm-gluster ovirt-host

-   I then logged into the oVirt Manager Web UI, navigated to Hosts, and 
clicked on New

-   I successfully added the new host to the cluster

Once this was all done, load average on all 3 of my original HCI nodes started 
to go through the roof.
I've seen servers' load average go through the roof before when NFS shares are 
down, so I suspect that something happened to the NFS share when I went to add 
the host as a compute node.

In an effort to get things stabilized, I wound up yanking the new host out of 
oVirt, as well as the NFS share, at which point things did stabilize again. 

My goal here:

-   Setup the host as a compute-only host (don't participate in the gluster 
cluster)
-   Setup the NFS share for backup purposes

Writing this email and reviewing my bash history, I think one of the places I 
went wrong was I installed vdsm-gluster. I don't think I need that, do I?

Is what I'm trying to do possible?

[ovirt-users] Re: Guest CPU compatibility issues on upgraded host - RHEL 8

2021-05-26 Thread David White via Users
I think my "CPU" issue may have been partly a combination with low available 
RAM in the cluster. I wound up putting the 1st host back into maintenance mode 
and running *another* upgrade on the host. 

After it rebooted again, it was fully available to the cluster. And I 
successfully upgraded a 2nd host, onto which I was able to migrate VMs for 
preparation of upgrading the 3rd host.

All seems well, for now, after I upgraded the 1st host a second time earlier 
today.

[ovirt-users] Guest CPU compatibility issues on upgraded host - RHEL 8

2021-05-26 Thread David White via Users
I have oVirt 4.4.6 running on my Engine VM.
I also have oVirt 4.4.6 on one of my hosts.

The other two hosts are still on oVirt 4.4.5.
My issue seems slightly different than the issue(s) other people have described.

I'm on RHEL 8 hosts.

My Engine VM is running fine on the upgraded host, as is one of my Ubuntu 
guests.
However, it seems like I'm not able to migrate *ANY* other guests over the new 
host. The oVirt UI just indicates that for whatever reason the upgraded host 
isn't available / compatible for a VM to be migrated to.

I'm not sure how or why this 1 Ubuntu guest VM was able to get migrated, but it 
looks like its working just fine.

I did try:
yum downgrade edk2-ovmf

Base on other people's comments. But I'm not sure how long to wait, or what 
else to try, to try to get my upgraded host operational again.

2021-05-24 Thread David White via Users
Thank you, Ritesh.
Those logs were perfect, and I immediately found the problem.

This was my fault.
I had disabled Root Login in /etc/ssh/sshd_config (because let's face it, we 
all can agree that logging in as root over ssh is normally a bad idea!)

I just updated that from "no" to "prohibit-password" and restarted sshd.
I'll report back if I still have problems after this.

[ovirt-users] Cluster stuck in maintenance - Hosts not upgrading as expected

2021-05-22 Thread David White via Users
I have a 3-node hyperconverged cluster with Gluster filesystem running on RHEL 
8.3 hosts.

It's been stable on oVirt 4.5.
Today, I just upgraded the Engine to v4.6.

[Screenshot from 2021-05-22 20-29-23.png]

I then logged into the oVirt manager, navigated to Compute -> Clusters, and 
clicked on Upgrade.
The Status of the cluster does have an exclamation mark that says "Upgrade 
Cluster Compatibility Level", but my understanding is, I shouldn't do that 
until all 3 of my hosts have been upgraded.

Looking at active tasks, I see that the first host in my cluster is stuck in 
"Upgrading".
It's now been like this for 3 hours, without any visible progress.

If I try to launch a VM that is not configured for high availability, the VM 
fails to launch, and I get a message about the cluster being in "Maintenance 
Mode" and that none of the hosts satisfies current scheduling restraints.
How do I
a) Cancel / clear the upgrade and take the cluster out of "maintenance mode"
b) Properly upgrade the cluster, since clicking the "Upgrade" button clearly 
didn't work?

Thanks,
David

[ovirt-users] Adding a Ubuntu Host's NFS share to oVirt

2021-05-22 Thread David White via Users
Hello,
Is it possible to use Ubuntu to share an NFS export with oVirt?I'm trying to 
setup a Backup Domain for my environment.

I got to the point of actually adding the new Storage Domain.
When I click OK, I see the storage domain appear momentarily before 
disappearing, at which point I get a message about oVirt not being able to 
obtain a lock.

It appears I'm running into the issue described in this thread: 
https://lists.ovirt.org/archives/list/users@ovirt.org/thread/BNVXUH5B26FBFCGYLG62JUSB5SOU2MN7/#IZTU744GVKY5OJT4QOULLZVKGYADXDOO
 ... Although the actual export is ext4, not xfs.

[ovirt-users] Moving interfaces for switch maintenance

2021-05-12 Thread David White via Users
So I have two switches.
All 3 of my HCI oVirt servers are connected to both switches.

1 switch serves the ovirtmgmt network (internal, gluster communication and 
everything else on that subnet)
The other switch serves the "main" front-end network (Private).

It turns out that my datacenter plugged the switches into the wrong power 
supplies, and now needs to move them.
My switches have single PSUs, so when we move them, the network will go down.

Obviously, I'm just going to move 1 switch at a time.
What I'm wondering, though, is there's an "easy" way to force all the traffic 
for both networks out one of the single interfaces, so that I don't experience 
any more downtime during this switch maintenance.

Should I assign another temporary IP address on each of the interfaces for each 
server that is in the same subnet as the switch we're going to take down?

[ovirt-users] Re: Something broke & took down multiple VMs for ~20 minutes

2021-05-11 Thread David White via Users
It appears there was a power issue at the datacenter.
One of my routers (I have two of them) and both of my switches, have an uptime 
that corresponds with the 2nd outage I experience yesterday.

Both of my switches & both routers have single PSUs.
All of my servers have dual PSUs.None of my servers, and my other router were 
unaffected.

I just contacted the datacenter to inquire about the outage.

But the mystery has been solved!

[ovirt-users] Re: Something broke & took down multiple VMs for ~20 minutes

2021-05-10 Thread David White via Users
Just a point of clarification, for all of these hosts, 1 of these interfaces is 
connected to my 1Gbps switch, and the other interface is connected to my 10Gbps 
switch. 

For Host 1 specifically,

enp4s0f0 is physically connected to 1 switch.
eno1 is physically connected to another.
But those interfaces are also bridged - and controlled - by oVirt itself.

Is it possible that oVirt took them down for some reason.
I don't know what that reason might be?

[ovirt-users] Re: Gluster volumes not healing (perhaps after host maintenance?)

2021-04-26 Thread David White via Users
I did have my /etc/hosts setup on all 3 of the oVirt Hosts in the format you 
described, with the exception of the trailing "host1" and "host2". I only had 
the FQDN in there.

I had an outage of almost an hour this morning that may or may not be related 
to this. An "ETL Service" started, at which point a lot of things broke down, 
and I saw a lot of storage-related errors. Everything came back on its own, 
though.

See my other thread that I just started on that topic.
As of now, there are NOT indications that any of the volumes or disks are out 
of sync.

[ovirt-users] Re: Gluster volumes not healing (perhaps after host maintenance?)

2021-04-24 Thread David White via Users
As part of my troubleshooting earlier this morning, I gracefully shut down the 
ovirt-engine so that it would come up on a different host (can't remember if I 
mentioned that or not).

I just verified forward DNS on all 3 of the hosts.
All 3 resolve each other just fine, and are able to ping each other. The 
hostnames look good, too.

I'm fairly certain that this problem didn't exist prior to me shutting the host 
down and replacing the network card.

That said, I don't think I ever setup rdns / ptr records to begin with. I don't 
recall reading that rdns was a requirement, nor do I remember setting it up 
when I built the cluster a couple weeks ago. Is this a requirement?

I did setup forward dns entries into /etc/hosts on each server, though.

This turned into quite a discussion. LOL.
A lot of interesting points.

Thomas said --> 

> If only oVirt was a product rather than only a patchwork design!
I think Sandro already spoke into this a little bit, but I would echo what they 
(he? she?) said. oVirt is an open source project, so there's really nothing 
preventing any of us from jumping in and assisting where we can. Granted, I'm 
not much of a software developer, but eventually, I could see how I can 
contribute my time in some ways. Replying to emails on the mailing list, 
providing engineering input on system level decisions, testing RC releases, 
fixing / debugging Ansible scripts, etc... (I love ansible!), helping to update 
documentation, etc...

My hosts are running RHEL 8.3, and I have no plans to move to something 
different. Ironically, though, the vast majority of my VMs are running Ubuntu. 

Off topic, but something to address: We need a stable ovirt-guest-agent 
package. This doesn't seem to be working for me, although I'll take a look at 
it more closely again when I have some time: 
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/focal/+source/ovirt-guest-agent

Serious question: What's preventing you (or anyone) from just spinning up new 
storage with NFS, SCSI or whatever, mounting to the engine, and migrating your 
VMs to that new storage?
Correct me if I'm wrong, but HCI is more of a philosophy and a framework than 
anything. There's nothing that prevents us from moving away from an HCI model.

In fact, I'm getting ready to do something that will already start to move my 
environment in that direction.
I have a 4th server that I originally bought last fall for testing & spare 
parts, but I've decided I want to put it into the datacenter, and use it as a 
backup destination, as well as a second DNS server for the overall environment. 
I have 3 spinning disks arriving next week that I'll put into a RAID 5 on that 
server, and my plan is to then build two different NFS mount points, and expose 
those NFS shares to the oVirt Cluster. I'm also half tempted to add that server 
as a host to the cluster as well, because it has 40 cores in it that would 
otherwise just sit there unused. I'll use 1 NFS share as a Backup domain, and 
I'll use another NFS share to store images that don't need ssd speeds - such as 
ISOs, and such.

Sorry for the rabbit trail, but this plan I think is a classic example of my 
point that HCI is a philosophy, not a hard and fast rule.
You can do whatever you want. If you don't like HCI, why can't you move to 
something else?

Gianluca said -->

That's interesting to hear. Out of curiosity, why keep gluster around? And 
also, why hasn't there been much of an effort to support Ceph in a HCI 
environment?
I actually had someone who I know is a Red Hat TAM advise me (off the record, 
off the clock, not through official Red Hat channels) to stay away from Gluster 
as well. After my research & testing, though, it was the *only* way I could see 
how I could deploy my environment on the limited budget that I had (and still 
have).

Eventually, yes, I would like to get better storage. One idea that comes to 
mind that would be stable and still relatively cheap is to grab a couple of 
Synology NAS devices, stick ssds into them, and put them into an HA pair, and 
expose that storage as an iscsi mount.

[ovirt-users] Gluster volumes not healing (perhaps after host maintenance?)

2021-04-24 Thread David White via Users
I discovered that the servers I purchased did not come with 10Gbps network 
cards, like I thought they did. So my storage network has been running on a 
1Gbps connection for the past week, since I deployed the servers into the 
datacenter a little over a week ago. I purchased 10Gbps cards, and put one of 
my hosts into maintenance mode yesterday, prior to replacing the daughter card. 
It is now back online running fine on the 10Gbps card.

All VMs seem to be working, even when I migrate them onto cha2, which is the 
host I did maintenance on yesterday morning.
The other two hosts are still running on the 1Gbps connection, but I plan to do 
maintenance on them next week.

The oVirt manager shows that all 3 hosts are up, and that all of my volumes - 
and all of my bricks - are up. However, every time I look at the storage, it 
appears that the self-heal info for 1 of the volumes is 10 minutes, and the 
self-heal info for another volume is 50+ minutes.

This morning is the first time in the last couple of days that I've paid close 
attention to the numbers, but I don't see them going down.

When I log into each of the hosts, I do see everything is connected in gluster.
It is interesting to me, in this particular case, though that gluster on cha3 
notices the hostname of 10.1.0.10 to be the IP address, and not the hostname 
(cha1).
The host that I did the maintenance on is cha2.

When I run `gluster volume heal data`, I see the following:

[ovirt-users] Re: Remote VNC

2021-04-17 Thread David White via Users
I did some more research, and learned a few things.
For the benefit of others who may not know:

>have the SOCKS proxy working, how, exactly, would I accomplish step #2?
With the 8080 socks proxy working, I've now tried to run this command:ssh -L 
5902:127.0.0.1:5901 username@ovirt-host-ip
And in this case, I'm "assuming" that 5902 is going to listen on my local 
computer, and that I need to edit the vv file to connect to 127.0.0.1, port 
5902.
That's not working.

Answer: A SOCKS5 proxy does not forward all network traffic.
It's a "layer 5" proxy (hence the name, SOCKS5). It is not an application 
proxy.This is a good primer: 
https://securityintelligence.com/posts/socks-proxy-primer-what-is-socks5-and-why-should-you-use-it/

The following tidbit from the above URL made it clear to me:
Since SOCKS sits at layer 5, between SSL (layer 7) and TCP/UDP (layer 4), it 
can handle several request types, including HTTP, HTTPS, POP3, SMTP and FTP. As 
a result, SOCKS can be used for email, web browsing, peer-to-peer sharing, file 
transfers and more. Other proxies built for specific protocols at layer 7, such 
as an HTTP proxy that is used to interpret and forward HTTP or HTTPS traffic 
between client and server, are often referred to as application proxies.

My solution: 
I wound up getting sshuttle, and that is working perfectly for my needs.
Here's a primer on that: 
https://www.techrepublic.com/article/how-to-use-ssh-as-a-vpn-with-sshuttle/

After I installed sshuttle on my local machine, this is how I'm establishing a 
connection to the datacenter:
sudo sshuttle -e "ssh -i /home/user/.ssh/id_rsa" -r user@1.2.3.4 -x 1.2.3.4 
0.0.0.0/0

Note that "1.2.3.4" is my remote IP address in the above example.
Also note that I've had to enter in the remote IP address twice (once when 
passing it in using the -x argument)

[ovirt-users] Remote VNC

2021-04-17 Thread David White via Users
I'm running into the issue described in this thread: 
https://lists.ovirt.org/archives/list/users@ovirt.org/message/KT3B6N3UZ3DS3J6FV6OKQAXPNPTLZPOB/

In short, I have ssh to the datacenter. I can ssh to a public IP address with 
the "-D 8080" option to forward local port 8080 act as a SOCKS proxy.
I then edit my local computer's proxy settings and set the SOCKS host to 8080. 
So this is a system-wide change. I'm not setting the SOCKS proxy in the browser 
preferences.
After I do all that, I'm able to use my browser to get to the engine web UI, 
and I'm able to login.

However, the console for each VM isn't working.

In the thread I linked to above, Alan says to do this:

2. SSH to the hypervisor tunneling a local port to that remote console port.
3. Click on the console link in the Engine and locally save the vv file.4. Edit 
the vv file; change host to localhost and port to whichever port you configured 
for the local side of the tunnel.

Question: I'm confused why I need to tunnel a local port to the remote console 
port, if I'm already tunneling port 8080 to the host.

Question: I don't have much experience with ssh port forwarding. If I already 
have the SOCKS proxy working, how, exactly, would I accomplish step #2?
With the 8080 socks proxy working, I've now tried to run this command: ssh -L 
5902:127.0.0.1:5901 username@ovirt-host-ip
And in this case, I'm "assuming" that 5902 is going to listen on my local 
computer, and that I need to edit the vv file to connect to 127.0.0.1, port 
5902.
That's not working.

Maybe I don't understand how SOCKS proxies work, but I was hoping / under the 
impression that all of my network traffic would go through the ssh tunnel on 
port 8080, and that vnc would work at that point.

Maybe that's going to be my best option. Thank you!

I remember support that exact type of setup (Gluster in AWS VMs syncing website 
files) for a hosting company I interned with over 10 years ago.
I've forgotten a lot about gluster since then, but I suppose I need to learn it 
anyway, since I've taken the plunge into oVirt land. :)

I'll think about it, and look into it further.
