Re: [ovirt-users] Various issues trying to get a new 4.1 install up and running

2017-05-08 Thread Jason Ziemba
Took me a few other 'self inflicted' configuration issues and reloads.
Though, as soon as I added the extra Storage Domains, sure enough, the
hosted_engine domain (as well as the Hosted Engine) showed up.  Thank you!

[ovirt-users] Various issues trying to get a new 4.1 install up and running

2017-05-03 Thread Jason Ziemba
I'm utilizing the latest node ISO
(ovirt-node-ng-installer-ovirt-4.1-2017050204.iso), upon installing on a
system I utilize the Web Cockpit UI to install the 4.1 hosted engine
(successfully), resulting in the following engine version:
4.1.1.8-1.el7.centos.
The node is also running 4.1.1.1

After installing the engine and accessing the Engine Web Admin I'm
encountering the following issues:

   - I'm not seeing any storage domains in the console (though the engine
   is installed using NFS).
   - Attempts to import the NFS storage domain that the engine resides in
   (for other VMs to also reside in) fail due to inability to find host ID.
  - Attempts to add (import) the storage domain again once again fails,
  though this time it states that the Storage connection already
exists (yet
  it isn't listed in the storage domains).
   - The hosted engine doesn't show up in the console, though Bug 1269768
   states that was supposed to be corrected in 3.6.1
   - Installing (from the same ISO) subsequent hosts and then using the
   Engine to bring the node in to the cluster, the additional nodes don't have
   the ability to run the hosted engine (based on the lack of the crown icon),
   preventing the original node from entering maintenance mode as the engine
   (which can't be seen) isn't able to migrate to a different node.

I'm not sure where to begin reviewing/troubleshooting based on these
items.  Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Re: [ovirt-users] Trying to understand the mixed storage configuration options.

2016-05-13 Thread Jason Ziemba
Nir,

The use cases of my current configuration is a mix of duplicated data
clusters (Percona/Consul/CouchBase) and ephemeral systems (web servers)
that work perfectly when 'locked' to a local host  These are built in such
a way that losing a physical host reduces redundancy but isn't outwardly
service degrading.  The other side is the duplicated databases (namely
Percona) that would induce a fairly high level of NAS bandwidth that is
avoided when they leverage the local storage on their host system.

The goal would be to have the ability to house the highly redundant and/or
ephemeral systems to be housed on the hosts local storage, whereas guests
that need HA or one-offs would be housed using the NAS allowing seamless HA
or online migration.

[ovirt-users] Trying to understand the mixed storage configuration options.

2016-05-11 Thread Jason Ziemba
I'm fairly new to oVirt (coming from ProxMox) and trying to wrap my head
around the mixed (local/NAS) data domain options that are available.

I'm trying to configure a set of systems to have local storage, as their
primary data storage domain, though also want to have the ability to have a
NAS based data domain for guests that are 'mobile' between hosts.
Currently I'm able to do one or the other, but not both (so it seems).

When I put all of the systems in to a single cluster (or single
data-center) I'm able to have the shared data domain, though have only
found the ability to configure one system for local storage (not all of
them).   When I split them out in to separate data centers, they all have
their local data domain working, but only a single dc is able to access the
shared data domain at a time.

Am I missing something along the way (probably fairly obvious) that does
exactly what I'm outlining, or is this functionality not available by
design?

Any assistance/guidance is greatly appreciated.
