Re: [ovirt-users] Backup solution using the API

2015-02-11 Thread Soeren Malchow
Dear all,

i am a little lost, i tried quite a few things with the snapshots, so far with 
python scripts I can iterate through the existing machines, take one, make a 
snapshot and all this.

However, there are 2 problems I can not get around:

1. even when on 3.5.1 I can not delete a snapshot on a running VM, if I 
understood that correctly this relies on the Live Merge Feature where the code 
is available in vdsm already but it needs a certain libvirt version !?!?
So question here is, can I delete a snapshot or not ? can I use only the rest 
API not python  (excuse me I am not a developer)

2. when I attach a snapshot to another virtual machine, how do I do the backup 
then ? Does anybody have this already ?

The environment is running on CentOS 7 (hypervisors), Centos 6 (hosted engine), 
the ovirt is on version 3.5.1, also we use gluster as a storage backend where 
the gluster servers are managed within the hosted engine in a separate cluster 
exporting the storage only.

Regards
Soeren

 Thanks for any help provided!


 I've been looking for a similar scheme for the last year. It was not 
 (really) possible in the past as there wasn't any way to destroy a 
 snapshot w/o shutting down the VM. Is this still the case, or are 
 snap shots fully implemented now?

 Basically, I'd like to:
 Tell VM to flush it's buffers
 suspend VM
 take snap shot of boot virtual disk
 resume VM

You don't need to suspend the vm, qemu can create live snapshot. When 
the snapshot is done, you don't care about future io, it will simply 
not included in the backup.

 backup the virtual boot disk from the Hypervisor using standard 
 commands (tar, cp, whatever)

You can by attaching the snapshot to another vm

 destroy the snapshot

You can in ovirt 3.5.1 - we do not depend any more on future libvirt features.
Adam, can you confirm?

Yes, on 3.5.1 you'll be able to destroy the snapshot without impacting the 
running VM.


 This would at least give some BMR capabilities of your VMs.

 Ideally, I'd also like to be able to create a snapshot from within 
 the VM, do

You can do this within the vm by using the engine REST API. But this 
can be fragile - for example, if the vm pauses, your backup tool within 
the vm will never complete :-)

 a yum update, see if I like it or not, if I do, then destroy the snap shot.

Possible in 3.5.1 using REST API

 If I don't, I want to promote the snapshot and boot from that, then 
 destroy the original.

 Do VDSM hooks only act on the XML, or is there a way to configure things

The hooks are point is the VMs lifetime where you can insert any code you
like.
There is a way to edit the domxml at certain points, because it hasn't been
passed
to libvirt for execution yet. At other points changing the domxml will do
nothing
useful because the VM is already running, but you can do other things,
execute
other commands. A classic example is an oVirt independent Vm event
monitoring
engine, to which you can issue a hook based message at certain lifecycle
points,
e.g. VM $VM is starting; VM $VM is migrating etc. No idea why you'd
need
that engine (it's quite redundant because the ovirt-engine already does all
this)
but it will definitely work.

In short, explore the hooks, note the livecycle points (they are simply
aptly named
directories on the hosts) and decide what and where you need to execute.

If you are modifying a VM, it probably makes sense to do it in
before_vm_start, but
if you're also live migrating that VM, you need to add the same changes in
before_migrate_vm_*, and if the hook script makes changes on the host, you
probably want to clean up after the VM is gone, so after_vm_stop and
after_vm_migrate_source are the places to start looking. The mechanism is
very
flexible really, you can do anything you want if the host OS is capable of
it

Re: [ovirt-users] Fenced hosts VM's never migrate

2015-02-11 Thread Martin Perina
Hi,

I looked at the logs and the reason why host vmh-02 wasn't
restarted is that PM restart failed using both other hosts
(vmh-01 and vmh-03) with error:

  Test Failed, [Powering off machine @ IPMI:10.9.1.11...Failed

So we couldn't restart HA VMs on another hosts, because we were
not sure that host vmh-02 is really down.

I also noticed that even getting PM status of host vmh-02 is
problematic, fence agent returned this message:

  Power Management test failed for Host vmh-02.Done

but it also returned successful operation. This looks very very
suspicious!

Could you please execute following command from vmh-01 or vmh-03
to test PM agent on vmh-02

  fence_ipmilan -a IP -l USER -p PASSWORD -o status -v -P

where IP, USER and PASSWORD contains values valid for vmh-02?


Could you please send us also vdsm.log from machines vmh-01 and
vmh-03 so we could investigate details of fence agents execution
failures?

Thanks a lot

Martin Perina

  I have a 3 host cluster setup with HA enabled and fencing enabled and it
  appears to be working properly. Executing power management stop, start,
  and
  restart work along with host shutdown/restart following a simulated crash.
  When network is pulled a proxy is chosen and it powers off the downed
  host,
  and then restarts it. Since the network is still down it repeats the
  following in events:
  Host kvm01 is not responding. It will stay in Connecting state for a
  grace
  period of 162 seconds and after that an attempt to fence the host will be
  issued.
 
  The real problem here is that the VM's on the host that has failed never
  migrate to a new host and remain down until the network is reconnected.
 
 
  once the host is powered off by the proxy, HA vms will be started (not
  migrated) on other host,
  if there are resources for it..
  if you have HA vms that are not started although there is another host
  available for it,
  it might be a bug, can you please attach engine.log from the time of the
  failure?
 
  We have tested this with back-end storage on gluster and NFS with the same
  result. This is on oVirt Engine Version: 3.5.1.1-1.el6. Hosts are on
  CentOS

 that we're using iSCSI storage backend.

 Could this be because we turned off power to vmh-02 completely? We are
 testing to make sure that the HA VMs will be restarted on another host
 even if the host suffers complete hardware failure.

IPMI interface should work even if server is turned off. But of course
it needs power, so if you loose power to it, it cannot work.
For this case you would need another (secondary) fencing agent (for
example APC) which will control the power for server and its IPMI
interface.

 
 
  Could you please execute following command from vmh-01 or vmh-03
  to test PM agent on vmh-02
 
 fence_ipmilan -a IP -l USER -p PASSWORD -o status -v -P
 
  where IP, USER and PASSWORD contains values valid for vmh-02?
 
 Here's the result (from both):
 
 Getting status of IPMI:10.9.1.11...Spawning: '/usr/bin/ipmitool -I
 lanplus -H '10.9.1.11' -U 'ADMIN' -P '[set]' -v chassis power status'...
 Chassis power = On
 Done
 
 Of course, the server is now up and running so this is expected.

Yes this is the correct result. And you should get result

  Chassis power = Off

when server is turned off.

 
 
 
  Could you please send us also vdsm.log from machines vmh-01 and

 See attached.

I looked at the vdsm logs and I wasn't able to find any additional
error details. But it looks like a bug, that fence agent status
command returned error code 1 and in engine we reported this as success.


So could you please file a new bug with above logs attached, reproducing
steps and also following versions:

Host where engine is running:
  ovirt-engine

Host vmh-01:
  vdsm
  fence-agents

Thanks a lot

I can answer this one at least.  For now, Centos 7 is lacking a new
enough version of libvirt to support Live Merge ( 1.2.7).  The
virt-preview repository for Fedora is shipping a newer libvirt.  You
can check if vdsm will support live merge by executing the following
on the host in question:

  sudo vdsClient -s 0 getVdsCaps | grep liveMerge

RHEL 7.1 will be shipping a version with the neccessary backports to
support live merge so I imagine Centos 7.1 will pick those up
automatically?

It looks like libvirt supports setting up DSCP bits with nwfilter, per:

I will play with this some to see exactly how to use it (haven't tried
it before).  If that's the case, there shouldn't be any host-level
changes required.  I would want the VM to be able to live migrate still
(with the DSCP still applied).

I'll test this out on a bare libvirt VM and see if that'll do the job,
and report back with what XML is needed.

Thanks.

  I see vdsm-hook-qos, but that appears to just set bandwidth control in

 far with python scripts I can iterate through the existing machines,
 take one, make a snapshot and all this.

 However, there are 2 problems I can not get around:

 1. even when on 3.5.1 I can not delete a snapshot on a running VM, if
 I understood that correctly this relies on the Live Merge Feature
 where the code is available in vdsm already but it needs a certain
 libvirt version !?!?  So question here is, can I delete a snapshot or
 not ? can I use only the rest API not python  (excuse me I am not a
 developer)


 I can answer this one at least.  For now, Centos 7 is lacking a new
 enough version of libvirt to support Live Merge ( 1.2.7).  The
 virt-preview repository for Fedora is shipping a newer libvirt.  You
 can check if vdsm will support live merge by executing the following
 on the host in question:

   sudo vdsClient -s 0 getVdsCaps | grep liveMerge

 RHEL 7.1 will be shipping a version with the neccessary backports to
 support live merge so I imagine Centos 7.1 will pick those up
 automatically?

I confirm that at least on f21 tc3 I was able to live delete snapshots,
also into the active layer.
See:
http://lists.ovirt.org/pipermail/users/2014-November/029450.html
and the whole thread.
I hope that RHEL 7.1 (and CentOS) will have the merging into the active
layer too and not only into the chain history.

 Hi,
 I've a two nodes hosted-engine ovirt 3.5used storage is NFS4 for the:
 engine, vms, iso and export
 I have many Linux VMs and one Windows 2008 VM.
 The windows 2008 VMs is acting as a second AD, it's the second time in a
 month where the VM hangs and the cpu usage is 100%.I have this problem only
 with this VM only.

 I tried to look into vdsm logs, but no luck so far, all I found
 isGuestMonitor-Win2k8x64-AD2::DEBUG::2015-02-11
 12:01:02,158::vm::486::vm.Vm::(_getUserCpuTuneInfo)
 vmId=`ce0bcb92-90e8-45a7-9b9f-cfed10e920d6`::Domain Metadata is not set

 Is there a log file where I can follow the behaviour of the VM, because
 for now I have no clue about what is causing this problem.
 any advice?
 PS: is there a good solution to gather and analyze all the logs from
 ovirt's hypervisors and engine, storage...etc?

 thanks in advance.

 Hi,

 I looked at the logs and the reason why host vmh-02 wasn't
 restarted is that PM restart failed using both other hosts
 (vmh-01 and vmh-03) with error:

   Test Failed, [Powering off machine @ IPMI:10.9.1.11...Failed

 So we couldn't restart HA VMs on another hosts, because we were
 not sure that host vmh-02 is really down.

 I also noticed that even getting PM status of host vmh-02

 What is the besst and quickest way to move all vm's to a new ovirt
 environment? (new management host). Storage is located on a SAN.

Not sure how to move the VMs, other than using an export domain.
Or directly import from the storage domain you have - 3.5 should
support that too.

If you want to move the _engine_, you might consider migrating using
backup/restore, similarly to [1].

Re: [ovirt-users] Can't remove snapshot due to low disk space on storage domain?

2015-02-11 Thread Elad Ben Aharon
Snapshot removal (merge) includes a create volume phase. This volume is 
temporary and gets removed once the snapshot merge is completed. Its size is 
the size of the disk. 
That means that in order to remove the snapshot, the storage domain should have 
available size that is equal to the disk size.

Subject: [ovirt-users] Can't remove snapshot due to low disk space on storage 
domain? 

Hi, 

I'm running the ovirt engine 3.4 series. I've created a snapshot of a VM 
with an OS and data disk before upgrading the machine. 

The upgrade went fine and I now want to remove the snapshot. 
Unfortunately this fails with the error: 

Cannot remove Snapshot. Low disk space on target Storage Domain 
stadius-virt2_PERC. 

So I can't free disk space by removing the snapshot because I don't have 
enough space? 

When I look at the VM the disks are shown as preallocated (which is what 
I selected during installation). When I look at the storage tab and list 
the disks in my storage domain, the disks are now shown as thin 
provisioned with the actual size  virtual size. 

How can I remove this snapshot? I don't have enough free disk space in 
my storage domain to duplicate the data disk of my VM. 

Regards, 

Rik

Another issue, when I failback the 2 storage domains, the 2 nd SD is not

the SD2 into maintenance mode and then reactivating it, but it would not active 
or would it detach. I had to destroy the SD. The weird thing is that I had no

The import domain operation consists of several stages which their execution

It would be almost impossible to estimate how long it will take. But, since the 
whole import operation, along with the VMs registration in the new environment, 
doesn't involve any long time operations, like disks creation, it shouldn't 
take more than a few minutes.

Thanks for all your help. I am having another issue, so I do not know if I need 
to send a separate email, and I have not had a chance to see if a bug has 
already been opened for this issue. I am importing two storage domains, that 
part works fine, I am able to import both domains no issues. The 1 st SD is a 
RAID 5 pool on our san, and the 2 nd is a RAID 10 pool on our san for DB files 
and log files for our DB servers and exchange, and all the drives are setup as 
virtio-scsi. So, I am able to import the vm’s with no problem, the vm’s that 
just have one disk on the 1 st SD start up with no problems, but the vm’s that 
have their boot disk on the 1 st SD (OS Drive) and have 2 other disks on the 2 
nd SD. Would not boot at all they just keep saying cannot find boot disk, also 
when I failed back over the vm would not boot. After removing the disk to the 2 
nd SD the vm booted at the primary site. What I found was that when I import 
the vm’s in the DR site, the vm does not have the option for virtio-scsi 
enabled, and once I enabled that option on the vm properties, the vm was able 
to boot. When I logged into the one of the drives should up, the other drive I 
just had to bring online, so not sure why one drive was online and the other 
was offline, but at least it booted. Why would the vm’s not import with the 
virtio-scsi enable, since it was originally enabled?

If you can't see the VMs under 'VM Import' subtab under the imported storage 
domain, it means that you won't be able to recover those VMs (because their 
configuration files weren't uploaded to the domain). 


For the next time, you can decrease the time interval of the OVFs upload as 
explained below in the thread. 




Regarding the upgrade, it is possible to upgrade from 3.4 to 3.5 and once 
you'll upgrade the setup and the DC compatibility version to 3.5, the OVFs of 
the VMs will be uploaded to the storage domains where the VMs's disks are 
located on. (again, every 60 minutes by default).

Snapshot removal (merge) includes a create volume phase. This volume is 
temporary and gets removed once the snapshot merge is completed. Its size is 
the size of the disk. 
That means that in order to remove the snapshot, the storage domain should have 
available size that is equal to the disk size.

Subject: [ovirt-users] Can't remove snapshot due to low disk space on storage

Hi, 

I'm running the ovirt engine 3.4 series. I've created a snapshot of a VM 
with an OS and data disk before upgrading the machine. 

The upgrade went fine and I now want to remove the snapshot. 
Unfortunately this fails with the error: 

Cannot remove Snapshot. Low disk space on target Storage Domain 
stadius-virt2_PERC. 

So I can't free disk space by removing the snapshot because I don't have 
enough space? 

When I look at the VM the disks are shown as preallocated (which is what 
I selected during installation). When I look at the storage tab and list 
the disks in my storage domain, the disks are now shown as thin 
provisioned with the actual size  virtual size. 

How can I remove this snapshot? I don't have enough free disk space in 
my storage domain to duplicate the data disk of my VM. 

Regards, 

Rik

Re: [ovirt-users] Can't remove snapshot due to low disk space on storage domain?

2015-02-11 Thread Rik Theys

Hi,

Thats unfortunate :-(. It would have been great if oVirt told me during 
the creation of the snapshot that I would be unable to remove it later 
due to unsufficient free space in the storage domain :-).


The VM has two disks - a small and a large one - so the snapshot 
contains both. Can I still remove the large disk while it has snapshots?


Luckily the used disk space in the (preallocated) large disk is low 
enough so I can fit it on another temporary disk then.


Does the free space have to be in the same storage domain, or can oVirt 
use another storage domain for the temporary volume? IOW, can I add an 
NFS storage domain which oVirt can use to create the temporary disk on?


Regards,

Rik

I'm not sure I understand which RHEV version you're using now. 
If you're using RHEV 3.5, it is possible to remove a snapshot of a single disk. 
You can do it via webadmin, Under the 'Disks Snapshots' subtab of the relevant 
storage domain, in the 'Storage' main tab. 

As for your second question, the free space has to be in the same storage 
domain.

Re: [ovirt-users] Can't remove snapshot due to low disk space on storage domain?

2015-02-11 Thread Rik Theys

Hi,

I created the snapshot on the Snapshots subtab of the Virtual machines 
tab. I did this when my engine (and host) was running oVirt 3.4. It 
is/was a snapshot of the entire VM (I deselected the memory state).


I since upgraded the engine to 3.5.

When I look at the snapshots subtab of the virtual machine, I see the 
Current snapshot which is Active VM and the snapshot I created before. 
This snapshot is a snapshot of both the OS and data disk.


I can not delete the second snapshot when the VM is running. If I power 
down the VM, I can't remove the snapshot as it brings up the error I 
mentioned before.


However, when I look at the disk snapshots subtab of the storage tab 
(like you suggested), I see both disks with a snapshot and I can select 
Remove there while the VM is running. Is it safe to remove them this 
way? This will only remove the snapshot and not the disk (and data) from 
my (running) VM?


Regards,

Rik

Will removing it this way also require the additional disk space in the

  use another storage domain for the temporary volume? IOW, can I add an
  NFS storage domain which oVirt can use to create the temporary disk on?

Snapshot removal (merge) includes a create volume phase. This
volume is
temporary and gets removed once the snapshot merge is completed. Its
size is the size of the disk.
That means that in order to remove the snapshot, the storage domain
should have available size that is equal to the disk size.

Hi,
   
I'm running the ovirt engine 3.4 series. I've created a snapshot
of a VM
with an OS and data disk before upgrading the machine.
   
The upgrade went fine and I now want to remove the snapshot.
Unfortunately this fails with the error:
   
Cannot remove Snapshot. Low disk space on target Storage Domain
stadius-virt2_PERC.

Heho,
 Assigned both BZ to me, will handle ...
 Thanks for finding that 
Np. Btw... is there some further documentation on the fencing scripts?
I basically ended up reading the python scripts to figure out how they
work, and that the supplied commands do no really equal to the options
expected via stdin.

If that is missing i can spend some time on compiling some doc-snippets
for that, which could be placed on the ovirt page.

With best Regards,

It will require an available size according to the disk snapshot you're 
attempting to remove.

Hi, 

OK since my hosts are still CentOS 6.6, I will schedule downtime. 

Will removing it this way also require the additional disk space in the 
storage domain?

 Indeed, removing the disk snapshot from the 'Disk Snapshots' subtab will 
 remove only the snapshot of the disk, not the disk itself. 
 Regarding snapshot removal while the VM is running - this feature is 
 pretty new (live snapshot merge). AFAIK, this feature is tech preview 
 for 3.5. It also depends on the OS you're using on the hosts. RHEL 7.1 
 supports it, but again, as tech preview. 
 Therefore, the safest way to remove the snapshot of the disk would be to 
 do it while the VM is not running.

 Hi, 
 
 I created the snapshot on the Snapshots subtab of the Virtual machines 
 tab. I did this when my engine (and host) was running oVirt 3.4. It 
 is/was a snapshot of the entire VM (I deselected the memory state). 
 
 I since upgraded the engine to 3.5. 
 
 When I look at the snapshots subtab of the virtual machine, I see the 
 Current snapshot which is Active VM and the snapshot I created before. 
 This snapshot is a snapshot of both the OS and data disk. 
 
 I can not delete the second snapshot when the VM is running. If I power 
 down the VM, I can't remove the snapshot as it brings up the error I 
 mentioned before. 
 
 However, when I look at the disk snapshots subtab of the storage tab 
 (like you suggested), I see both disks with a snapshot and I can select 
 Remove there while the VM is running. Is it safe to remove them this 
 way? This will only remove the snapshot and not the disk (and data) from 
 my (running) VM? 
 
 Regards, 
 
 Rik

  If you're using RHEV 3.5, it is possible to remove a snapshot of a 
  single disk. 
  You can do it via webadmin, Under the 'Disks Snapshots' subtab of the 
  relevant storage domain, in the 'Storage' main tab. 
  
  As for your second question, the free space has to be in the same 
  storage domain.

  Hi, 
  
  Thats unfortunate :-(. It would have been great if oVirt told me during 
  the creation of the snapshot that I would be unable to remove it later 
  due to unsufficient free space in the storage domain :-). 
  
  The VM has two disks - a small and a large one - so the snapshot 
  contains both. Can I still remove the large disk while it has snapshots? 
  
  Luckily the used disk space in the (preallocated) large disk is low 
  enough so I can fit it on another temporary disk then. 
  
  Does the free space have to be in the same storage domain, or can oVirt 
  use another storage domain for the temporary volume? IOW, can I add an 
  NFS storage domain which oVirt can use to create the temporary disk on?

It will require an available size according to the disk snapshot 
you're attempting to remove.




Be warned: the downtime will be as long as it will take your storage to 
copy the full size of the disk for each snaphot. Our server with a few 
snaps on 1TB disk took more than a day of downtime!

Clonezilla works pretty well and it only copies used blocks, so it works fine
