[ovirt-users] Problems running CentOS 9 Stream GenericCloud guests

2023-08-03 Thread Gianluca Amato
Hello everyone,
I'm trying to run CentOS 9 Stream GenericCloud as a guest in oVirt 4.5.4. While 
the images in the ovirt-image-repository seems to work fine (in particular, 
I've tried version 2029.0), the latest version (20230727.1) does not start. 
After the initial boot messages, it gives the error:

Starting dracut mount hook
dracut-mount[413]: Warning: Can't mount root filesystem
Starting dracut emergency shell

and brings me to the emergency shell.

Is this some known bug ?

Note that if I start from the old image and then upgrade all the packages, I 
have no problems at all.

Thanks in advance for any help.

[ovirt-users] Re: Combining vNUMA and dedicated CPU Pinning Policy

2022-12-10 Thread Gianluca Amato
Hi Lucia, 
thanks for you suggestion. I made several experiments with and without 
hugepages. It seems that, when oVirt calculates the amount of available memory 
on the NUMA nodes, it does not keep into consideration the reserved hugepages. 
For example, this is the result of "numactl --hardware" on my host in this 
moment:


node 0 cpus: 0 2 4 6 8 10 12 14 16 18 20 22 24 26 28 30 32 34 36 38 40 42 44 46 
48 50 52 54 56 58 60 62 64 66 68 70 72 74 76 78 80 82 84 86 88 90 92 94 96 98 
100 102 104 106 108 110
node 0 size: 257333 MB
node 0 free: 106431 MB
node 1 cpus: 1 3 5 7 9 11 13 15 17 19 21 23 25 27 29 31 33 35 37 39 41 43 45 47 
49 51 53 55 57 59 61 63 65 67 69 71 73 75 77 79 81 83 85 87 89 91 93 95 97 99 
101 103 105 107 109 111
node 1 size: 257993 MB
node 1 free: 142009 MB
node distances:
node   0   1 
  0:  10  21 
  1:  21  10 
---

I am able to launch my VM only if I set its Memory Size to be 210 GB or less 
(i.e., the double of the available RAM in node 0, which is the node with less 
available RAM). I tried several times with different amount of free memory, and 
this behavior seems to be consistent. Note that, once started, the VM consumes 
the pre-allocated reserved hugepages, and has almost no impact on the free 
memory.

Do you think there is a reason why oVirt behaves in this ways, or is this a bug 
that I could signal in the github repo ?

Thanks a lot again,

[ovirt-users] Combining vNUMA and dedicated CPU Pinning Policy

2022-12-08 Thread Gianluca Amato
Hello,
as stated in the subject, I am trying to combine the "dedicated" CPU Pinning 
Policy with vNUMA. My host has 2 sockets, 28 cores per socket and 2 threads per 
core. In each socket I allocated 128 hugepages of 1GB each. This is the output 
of "numactl --hardware":


available: 2 nodes (0-1)
node 0 cpus: 0 2 4 6 8 10 12 14 16 18 20 22 24 26 28 30 32 34 36 38 40 42 44 46

100 102 104 106 108 110
node 0 size: 257333 MB

node distances:
node   0   1 
  0:  10  21 
  1:  21  10 
---

I would like to dedicate one half of all the cores to a single guest. I created 
a VM with 2 sockets, 14 cores per socket and 2 threads per core, using the 
"dedicated" CPU Pinning Policy. If a set "NUMA Node Count" to zero, the VM 
starts and works flawlessy. However, all virtual cores are allocated in the 
first physical socket. If I set "NUMA Node Count" to 2 (without pinning vNUMA 
nodes  to host NUMA nodes) I cannot start the VM since I get the error message: 
"The host xyz did not satisfy internal filter CpuPinning because it doesn't 
have enough CPUs for the dedicated CPU policy that the VM is set with.. ". 
Same thing happens if I set "NUMA Node Count" to 1.

Am I doing something wrong ?

You see that the last part of the "options" line (which is the part I typed in

[ovirt-users] Host kernel command line incorrectly quoted in oVirt 4.5.3.2

2022-12-08 Thread Gianluca Amato
Hi all.
I recently changed the kernel command line of one of my hosts using oVirt 
Manager (I use a custom kernel command line, not one obtained by selecting the 
standard features). This did not work as expected. The entire kernel command 
line was saved in /boot/loader/entries surrounded by single quotes, making it 
useless for the kernel. I may later fix the problem by connecting to the host 
and removing the single quotes by the files in /boot/loader/entries. I am sure 
the same procedure used to work in previous versions of oVirt.

Has someone else encountered this problem ?

I would be glad to submit a bug on bugzilla, but submitting bugs for oVirt 
seems to be blocked.

[ovirt-users] Re: After failed upgrade from 4.5.1 to 4.5.3, upgrades do not show up anymore

2022-12-07 Thread Gianluca Amato
At the end I proceeded as follows:
1) I manually installed the package ovirt-node-ng-image-update-placeholder 
version 4.5.1 on the host; with this change alone, the manager engine began 
detecting available updates;
2) before proceeding with the updates, I had to fix my host setup. The error 
"Local storage domains were found on the same filesystem as /"  was due to the 
fact that I was mounting storage at the path /data/normal, while the entire 
/data path should be on a different filesystem than root.

After making these changes, upgrade went smoothly to 4.5.3.2

Now I have problems upgrading to 4.5.4, but I think this is a different problem.

[ovirt-users] After failed upgrade from 4.5.1 to 4.5.3, upgrades do not show up anymore

2022-10-20 Thread Gianluca Amato
Hi all,
I recently tried to upgrade an oVirt node from 4.5.1 to 4.5.3. The upgrade 
failed (I have no idea idea why... how can I access the installation logs?). 
The node is still working fine running the old 4.5.1 release, but now the oVirt 
web console says that it is up to date and it does not let me retry the 
upgrade. However, I am still on version 4.5.1, as witnessed by the result of 
"nodectl info":

Comparing the situation with other hosts in the same data center, it seems that 
the problem is that the package ovirt-node-ng-image-update-placeholder is not 
installed anymore, hence "dnf upgrade" has nothing to do. My idea was to 
manually download and install the 4.5.1 version of 
ovirt-node-ng-image-update-placeholder and attempt installation again. 

Is it a correct way to proceed ?

Thanks for any help.
