Re: [ovirt-users] Allocating only "x" amount of physical memory to hypervisor node

Hi, I believe we do not support this, but there is something similar in the VDSM configuration (/etc/vdsm/vdsm.conf). There are two options: host_mem_reserve and extra_mem_reserve that allow you to reserve memory for the OS and your application. You should be aware of features like fencing

[ovirt-users] NAS for oVirt

Hi all, I am thinking to setup an environment with oVirt and centralized storage using a NAS that supports NFS and iSCSI. The setup will be used to host approx 20 VMs. The VMs will be running critical services and not for testing. I have seen several from QNAP, iXsystems (freenas mini), ...

[ovirt-users] Why difference between upgrade paths 3.6 to 4.0.x between RHEV and oVirt?

Hello, in June 2016 oVirt 4.0.0 GA was released and I in-place upgraded from an existing 3.6.5 to it. In 4.0.0 release notes it was described as the method to use. I see that it still remains the same for 4.0.5: http://www.ovirt.org/release/4.0.5/ and also for upcoming 4.0.6 (RC5 at least) there

Re: [ovirt-users] NAS for oVirt

I've got a similar setup, FC Compellent for primary storage and a Synology Rack NAS for testing. Synology with 4 bonded ports is plenty fast enough for my needs. On 23 December 2016 at 13:20, Andrea Ghelardi wrote: > Hello Alex, > > Specs you provided are a little

Re: [ovirt-users] NAS for oVirt

Hi, it mainly depends on the budget. I can give you some advice from my own experience: SMB systems from QNAP or any other vendor don't cope well with the load that OVirt generates (simultaneous access), because they are usually built on slow drives.Using 15K drives helps a bit. I have a Centos

Hello Alex, Specs you provided are a little bit vague. You don’t specify storage space. Our main storage here is a SAN Compellent, but we do have also Synology and we are quite happy with it You can start searching this or comparable product https://www.synology.com/en-global/products/RS2416+

Re: [ovirt-users] NAS for oVirt

Hi Mikhail, Thank you for your suggestion. Have you had any performance issues with freenas? It has been mentioned on some blogs that freenas might have performance issues. Not sure why. A clean Centos with NFS sounds ok also. What do you do if you need snapshots of data? Lvm snapshots? Alex
