[Users] oVirt warning about memory usage

[Alex Leonhardt]

Hi,

just seen a memory usage warning in oVirt's Admin Interface saying the
available memory is below threshold of 1024MB - however - when I checked
the host, it had still 20GB left ?

See screenshot.

Hi,

has anybody installed ovirt-node on a bootable usb stick? If the

I will check them and let you know what I will be able to find.

If you wouldn't mind I would be referring to you for more questions if 
some will come up during the search for the cause and I will let you 
know the results asap.

There is a thread in this forum that has the calculations that ovirt

Re: [Users] Choosing which network to run VM migration on ovirt 3.1

[Yuval M]

after a bit of playing with the system, I found a nice workaround:
I added a host route on each host:

# route add -host 10.100.101.101 gw 172.22.22.1
and on the other one:
# route add -host 10.100.101.100 gw 172.22.22.2

where 10.100.101/24 is the slow network and 172.22.22/24 is the fast
network.
migration now works through the fast link, with nothing changed in ovirt's
configuration.

  Hi,

  the 2nd NIC is a fast Infiniband card which is connected back-to-back to

  both links are running fine, and I managed to have the 2nd host mount the

  The problem is that VM migration takes place over the slow link.
 
  How do I configure the cluster so that the migration uses the fast link?
  I've already created a network using the web interface. the migration
 still
  uses the slow link.

 Currently, oVirt always uses the ovirtmgmt network for migration data,
 even though libvirt already supports choosing a non-mananagement IP
 address for that. So I do not see how you could use the Infiniband card
 for migration without defining ovirtmgmt there, or with serious vdsm
 hacking.

 When I'm saying serious, I mean something in the lines of
 (the untested!) http://gerrit.ovirt.org/10696 .

 To use this patch, you would first need to define a non-VM network over
 the Infiniband connection on both hosts, and provide them with IP
 address. Then, the name of this network should be passed as the value of
 a VM custom propery call 'mignet'.

 It would be great if you can try it out and debug it and/or comment on
 it.

Re: [Users] What do you want to see in oVirt next?

[Stephen Spencer]

I would like to see export domains deployable to a SAN volume.   I had to
fiddle with various bits that had nothing to do with the problem for about
an hour before I realized the nfs service on the host designated for
hosting the exports NFS volume was not enabled.   The lesson for the
version I'm working with now (3.1) is to disconnect the export domain when
it's not in use, but it would be useful if it were mobile (or at least not
a deal-breaker for hypervisors that are trying to rejoin the cluster)

Re: [Users] What do you want to see in oVirt next?

[Karli Sjöberg]

A general +1 for every point basically. Very good and thought through points. 
The ones I like the most are:

* Spice client- and plugin for Firefox on Windows and Ubuntu
* Preferrably working through both Admin- and User(customer) portal;)
* Guest Agent for Windows. Most of our VMs are Win2008- and R2, 2012's are 
coming too.
* Host Profiles would be a time saver
* Resource Pools
* Clone VM's
* Resizing VM disks from GUI
* Upload ISO's from GUI
* Integrate virt-v2v into GUI
* Edit VM settings before import

Also I would like to make a wish of my own:
* Time-share scheduling.
- The ability to rent out resources available only during N window of time 
for different groups of users. Our users tend to only need resource capacity in 
batches, crunching their numbers or whatnot during an intence period of time 
and can be quiet for a while, then come back for some more. That´s why I would 
like to see an interface where we as an organization could pool together our 
metal into oVirt and then together sit down and schedule it so that everyone 
gets their pice of the cake, so to speak. E.g. Group X rents 64 vCPU's and 4TB 
RAM from 20130601 to 20130801, during which time they are guaranteed those 
resources, and then those machines will expire and be automatically deleted, 
freeing up those resources again. Something like that would make collaboration 
between our different groups much easier.

Hi,

First of all thanks for starting this discussion.

My feedback is mainly based on RHEV, as I'm using RHEV in our company
and on customer side. oVirt is cool as I can see what new features next
RHEV version may/will bring and what issues other users have with this
technology.

What I like:
* web based UI
* KVM as it brings the highest virtualization performance on the market
* RHEL/Fedora as a hypervisor for more flexibility
* tags and bookmarks with search filters - great for big installations
* server and desktop virtualization can be done with one gui
* open source of course ;)
* hook scripts - sooo cool!
* rest-api
* user portal - some of our customers use this as a basic cloud tool for
providing vms and self-provisioning features with accounting using
postgresql database

What I would like to see in future release in oVirt and after testing in
RHEV (most of these points are based on customer feedback, too, who
bought RHEV or where we had at least a pre-sales appointment):

* Spice-XPI for Firefox on Windows (and maybe Ubuntu):
I know it's a lot of work to build it for every new firefox version, but
providing it for Firefox LTS would be a really good start. At the moment
Internet Explorer ist required for full use of admin und user portal (or
VNC has to be used).

* ovirt-guest-agents for major Linux distributions:
- openSUSE
- SLES
- Ubuntu
- Debian

* Virtualize ovirt-engine on ovirt hosts
I know that this would require major changes due to how oVirt works
(libvirt and vdsm), but nearly every customers is asking: why can't I
install my hypervisors, create a vm for RHEV manager and configure the
environment then (in the same way as it is possible with VMware)?

* Make ovirt-engine more Enterprise ready
Compared with VMware (sorry for always comparing it with VMware, but
it's the market leader and it has many nice features which would be
great in oVirt/RHEV, too) oVirt required more tasks done on command line
or via API/Shell/GUI as features are missing in the web GUI:

- Deploy network configs on all hosts
When creating a new logical network in a Cluster it has to be created on
all hosts before it can be used. It would be great if this could be done
automatically (except for rhevm/spice/storage-networks where an IP
address of each host is required). The workflow could be:
+ create new logical network
+ click on deploy button
+ create ifcfg-files on hosts
+ make ifcfg-files persistent on ovirt Nodes
+ bring interface up
+ check if interfaces are up
+ make logical network Operational if deployment was successful on all
hosts

- Configure ovirt hosts from GUI
It would be really an improvement if all settings of the TUI (like DNS,
NTP, syslog, kdump, admin and root passwords, hostname,...) could be
configured in ovirt-engine gui, too (in hosts tab). Plus including
changing multipath.conf in Web GUI would be very nice.

- Create host profiles
Storing all configuration settings of the TUI and host tab (without ip
addresses for sure) in a profile would make changes easier and speed up
deployment of new hypervisors. I'm thinking of:
+ create a profile which contains e.g. DNS, NTP and admin passwords
+ link profile to hosts
+ change DNS in profile
+ in hosts tab you can see that there are changes between the profile
and the hosts
+ bring host in maintenance mode
+ sync profile (and maybe reboot host)
When installing new hosts (via CD or PXE) the profile can be used to
automatically configure the host without

As sometimes searching the list can be a pain, I'll just repost it:


You can do this with 2 different methods, both of which are on the kernel 
command line during boot.  Simply hit TAB when you're selecting the install 
option and add one of the options below to the command line.

1.  You can set  storage_vol=:XXX   where XXX is the desired size of the 
SWAP partition in MB.  It has a minimum size of 5MB.
   This lets you set a static size for swap.

2.  You can set mem_overcommit=0.  This will change our calculation to not add 
any swap for overcommit.  It will still calculate a value based on the amount 
of RAM, but not as large as with the overcommit.

The swap size is calculated at mem_overcommit*RAM + BASE_SWAP

BASE_SWAP is calculated using this formula:

if MEM_SIZE  4GB:
 BASE_SWAP = 2GB
elif MEM_SIZE  16GB:
 BASE_SWAP = 4GB
elif MEM_SIZE  64GB:
 BASE_SWAP = 8GB
else:
 BASE_SWAP = 16GB


We are planning to expose these option in the TUI installer, just not there yet.

Re: [Users] What do you want to see in oVirt next?

[Rick Beldin]

Several topics come to mind:

- cleaner work-flow in creating and associating storage, especially NFS

- better error reporting from engine back to admin user during admin operations.

- the ability to have users access consoles of virtual machines whereever
  they may be.  I think it should be expected that limited access data centers
  will be everywhere, from complete NAT'd environments to some with external
  firewalls that limit some ports.   This should be part of engine and
  hypervisor installation, and transparent to the end user.

 Subject: [Users] Configure NFS resource from Host
 
 Hello everybody,
 
 I'm trying to configure and install oVirt for test in our University
 faculty. I have installed an engine an a host, both of them with
 Fedora
 17. The engine is working and I can log-in in the Data Center with
 admin
 user. I have tried to add my host to the data center portal and I
 successfully done. After that I have tried to add a NFS resource
 which
 is in the host that I have added. If I open a console in the engine
 and
 log-in as vdsm user, I can mount the NFS resource without problems.
 The
 problem is when I tried to add this NFS resource to the Data Center.
 
 I have followed the tutorial
 http://www.ovirt.org/Quick_Start_Guide#Configure_Storage, but when I
 have completed the form and pressed Ok, after one or two minutes I
 receive one screen with bellow error:
 
 Error: A Request to the Server failed with the following Status
 Code: 500
 
 I'm attaching the vdsm.log file with the lines that are created with
 this operation. I hope that someone can show me what is the problem.
 If
 you need more information aboout the installation I can show it.
 
 Many thanks in avanced,
 
 Juanjo.

[Users] Can I move local_cluster in all-in-one setup?

[Gianluca Cecchi]

Hello,
working on f18 and ovirt nightly as of
ovirt-engine-3.2.0-1.20130106.git0cb01e1.fc18.noarch

Can I configure ootb an all-in-one setup with vlan tagging for the to-be
created ovirtmgmt lan?
In that case how has to be the network config for the host before running
engine-setup?
classic eth0 + eth0.vlanid or other things?

In case the answer is no, can I configure it after creation?

I saw in another thread that in general I can create a temporary DC and
move the clusters there so that I can then edit the ovirtmgmt network
making it vlan tagged.

Is this possible in all-in-one too?

I created another Datacenter named tempdc and I try to move my
local_cluster there but I don't see how I can.

I edit local_cluster, but the option to change DC is greyed out

Thanks,

in the configuration dialog, nic2/0aa7 was the first one that was actually 
added, and that was the one i wanted in the ovirtmgmt network (and subsequently 
i will have to reverse my network cards, and i will have to see nic2 as my 
mgmt/eth0 and nic1 as my iscsi in the web page), but it looks like the guests 
are initializing their pci devices in backwards order.

is this something i can set somewhere, or is this a bug?

Re: [Users] Default compatibility version in ovirt nightly

 Hi Gianluca,

 The problem you have now doesn't seem related $subject.
 It looks like http://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/c/10024/5 to me.
 Can you check to see if your code contains the above fix?
 Did you vdsm from nightly as well or from Fedora 18 rpms?

 Fede, does the f18 build include the above fix?

 Thanks,
 Ayal.


For this particular host I already updated the rpm package
vdsm-4.10.3-0.50.gitc6625ce.fc18.x86_64
that contains the patched file /usr/share/vdsm/storage/localFsSD.py so it
seems I'm not hitting this problem.

I ran
yum update ovirt-engine-setup
that pulled these new packages

Re: [Users] Ovirt Node install to USB stick - required 70GB disk space?

Thanks, that was the problem and the solution.
Found the post, it's easier to find something when you know what you are 
looking for.

Hi,

has anybody installed ovirt-node on a bootable usb stick? If the

is less than 1GB in size, why does installation require 70GB of 
disk space?

It would be perfect to run nodes from usb without any disks.

Thanks
Jure Kranjc


Sorry for not asnwering to the list, here are my previous post:

How much memory do you have? It seems that it's calculating how much
swap it will need and turns that needs at least 70 GB disk space.

There is a thread in this forum that has the calculations that ovirt
does for it. You can change this values on the boot options.

Alex
Those values are also shown on the installer screen right before 
entering the password and can be changed


As sometimes searching the list can be a pain, I'll just repost it:

You can do this with 2 different methods, both of which are on the 
kernel command line during boot. Simply hit TAB when you're selecting 
the install option and add one of the options below to the command line.


1.  You can set  storage_vol=:XXX   where XXX is the desired 
size of the SWAP partition in MB.  It has a minimum size of 5MB.

   This lets you set a static size for swap.

2.  You can set mem_overcommit=0.  This will change our calculation 
to not add any swap for overcommit.  It will still calculate a value 
based on the amount of RAM, but not as large as with the overcommit.


The swap size is calculated at mem_overcommit*RAM + BASE_SWAP

BASE_SWAP is calculated using this formula:

if MEM_SIZE  4GB:
 BASE_SWAP = 2GB
elif MEM_SIZE  16GB:
 BASE_SWAP = 4GB
elif MEM_SIZE  64GB:
 BASE_SWAP = 8GB
else:
 BASE_SWAP = 16GB


We are planning to expose these option in the TUI installer, just not 
there yet.

i just did my first 3.2 install, i have a single manager and a single node.

i have also just created my first VM, and it has 2 network interfaces.

nic1 0aa9 – ovirtmgmt network
nic2 0aa7 – iscsi network

in the configuration dialog, nic2/0aa7 was the first one that was actually

i will have to reverse my network cards, and i will have to see nic2 as my

are initializing their pci devices in backwards order.

is this something i can set somewhere, or is this a bug?

[Users] mac address re-use

[Jonathan Horne]

my 3.2 install seems to be reusing mac address of formerly-deleted guests.  is 
this the normal behavior, and or can i turn this off?  i would prefer to have a 
unique mac address for each new VM created.

thanks,

I believe re-use is intentional.  I suspect oVirt uses the IEEE [1] 
space allocated to Qumranet and that space is relatively small. There 
were previous discussions on the list regarding the probability of 
collisions/exhaustion, IIRC.  In any case, you want re-use to prevent 
the possibility of exhaustion and because a program shouldn't just go 
randomly creating addresses from any available OUI block.
