[Users] how the default bridge network is created.
hi,all vdsmgmt network is created defaultly, i want to know how and where ? i now need to add my own network, better to refer to ovirt'default network. 1.if i need to insert network info into DB 2.how to start up the default network , 1)just put a network xml in right place, let libvirt tak care of it. 2)when start agent or engine, call add network API to product a network dynamicly? 3.in network table, what is column type, how many of this type. thanks. ___ Users mailing list Users@ovirt.org http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users
Re: [Users] Export domain
On 03/14/2013 05:55 PM, Shu Ming wrote: Dafna Ron: ovirt should not react in any way :) the size should be updated by queries that are sent to vdsm on domains status. I think vdsm domains do have their own meta-data except the lvm or posix file system meta data. the export domain is an NFS domain and the size is not listed in its metadata. much like posix which is based on file type storage, if we extend the size in the storage server itself the domain size will be updated with no issues or changed to the metadata. you are correct regarding iscsi domain types which would have a problem with extending a lun in the storage side. extend for iscsi is done via the ovirt by editing the domain and adding more luns since extend of the used lv on the storage side will cause issues in the metadata. If you want to be extra careful you can always put the export domain in maintenance before the extend :) If the export domain come back to life, I think the domain meta data should be invalidated after the extend. since its not iscsi type domain the extend done on the server side to extend the domain should not be a problem On 03/13/2013 09:45 PM, Jonathan Horne wrote: What would happen if the export domain (via NFS) was extended (say, while the server was doing a reboot?) id like to extend the space of my export domain from 200 to 500GB (with lvm commands).

Re: [Users] openvswitch intergration status
I'm on it. The status is that I'm now refactoring the networking part of vdsm to enable us to use different configuration tools for setting interfaces. This will allow to have a open vSwitch back end for configuring the bridges. For 3.3 we will have the refactoring done. http://www.ovirt.org/Feature/NetworkReloaded I don't think we'll have open vSwitch hitting at the same point, as I'm targeting first to have ifcfg and iproute2 based configuration, but once the API of the refactoring is more stable, maybe somebody can try to do it on parallel. Frankly though, I think it will have to be for the following point release.

[Users] how to set rootpw on the node admin console?
Hi, Found some time for ovirt testing again ;-) How do I set the root password on the node? First I registered the node from the node admin console. In the Ovirt Engine tab, I put in the ovirt management server and a password. This registers the node to ovirt and I can approve and activate it. Then I run in to a powermanagement issue, so I removed it. To get it registered again, I enable ssh password authentication on the security tab and fill in a password. After that I try to register it from ovirt but it fails to register: Error: Cannot add Host. SSH authentication failed, verify authentication parameters are correct (Username/Password, public-key etc.) You may refer to the engine.log file for further details. When I try to ssh to the node with root and the password I specified, I am unable to login; I can only login with admin and the password I specify on the Security tab. engine.log: 2013-03-15 14:50:41,968 ERROR [org.ovirt.engine.core.bll.AddVdsCommand] (ajp--127.0.0.1-8702-6) [b659cc0] Failed to authenticate session with host node2: javax.naming.AuthenticationException: SSH authentication to 'r...@node2.netbulae.test' failed make sure host is configured for password authentication at org.ovirt.engine.core.utils.ssh.SSHClient.authenticate(SSHClient.java:357) [engine-utils.jar:] at org.ovirt.engine.core.bll.AddVdsCommand.canConnect(AddVdsCommand.java:364) [engine-bll.jar:] at org.ovirt.engine.core.bll.AddVdsCommand.canDoAction(AddVdsCommand.java:323) [engine-bll.jar:] at org.ovirt.engine.core.bll.CommandBase.internalCanDoAction(CommandBase.java:623) [engine-bll.jar:] at org.ovirt.engine.core.bll.CommandBase.executeAction(CommandBase.java:298) [engine-bll.jar:] at org.ovirt.engine.core.bll.Backend.runActionImpl(Backend.java:359) [engine-bll.jar:] at org.ovirt.engine.core.bll.Backend.RunAction(Backend.java:305) [engine-bll.jar:] at sun.reflect.GeneratedMethodAccessor230.invoke(Unknown Source) [:1.7.0_09-icedtea] at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:43) [rt.jar:1.7.0_09-icedtea] at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:601) [rt.jar:1.7.0_09-icedtea] at org.jboss.as.ee.component.ManagedReferenceMethodInterceptorFactory$ManagedReferenceMethodInterceptor.processInvocation(ManagedReferenceMethodInterceptorFactory.java:72) [jboss-as-ee-7.1.1.Final.jar:7.1.1.Final] at org.jboss.invocation.InterceptorContext.proceed(InterceptorContext.java:288) [jboss-invocation.jar:1.1.1.Final] at org.jboss.invocation.InterceptorContext$Invocation.proceed(InterceptorContext.java:374) [jboss-invocation.jar:1.1.1.Final] at org.ovirt.engine.core.utils.ThreadLocalSessionCleanerInterceptor.injectWebContextToThreadLocal(ThreadLocalSessionCleanerInterceptor.java:11) [engine-utils.jar:] at sun.reflect.GeneratedMethodAccessor13.invoke(Unknown Source) [:1.7.0_09-icedtea] at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:43) [rt.jar:1.7.0_09-icedtea] at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:601) [rt.jar:1.7.0_09-icedtea] at org.jboss.as.ee.component.ManagedReferenceLifecycleMethodInterceptorFactory$ManagedReferenceLifecycleMethodInterceptor.processInvocation(ManagedReferenceLifecycleMethodInterceptorFactory.java:123) [jboss-as-ee-7.1.1.Final.jar:7.1.1.Final] at org.jboss.invocation.InterceptorContext.proceed(InterceptorContext.java:288) [jboss-invocation.jar:1.1.1.Final] at org.jboss.invocation.WeavedInterceptor.processInvocation(WeavedInterceptor.java:53) [jboss-invocation.jar:1.1.1.Final] at org.jboss.as.ee.component.interceptors.UserInterceptorFactory$1.processInvocation(UserInterceptorFactory.java:36) [jboss-as-ee-7.1.1.Final.jar:7.1.1.Final] at org.jboss.invocation.InterceptorContext.proceed(InterceptorContext.java:288) [jboss-invocation.jar:1.1.1.Final] at org.jboss.invocation.InitialInterceptor.processInvocation(InitialInterceptor.java:21) [jboss-invocation.jar:1.1.1.Final] at org.jboss.invocation.InterceptorContext.proceed(InterceptorContext.java:288) [jboss-invocation.jar:1.1.1.Final] at org.jboss.invocation.ChainedInterceptor.processInvocation(ChainedInterceptor.java:61) [jboss-invocation.jar:1.1.1.Final] at org.jboss.as.ee.component.interceptors.ComponentDispatcherInterceptor.processInvocation(ComponentDispatcherInterceptor.java:53) [jboss-as-ee-7.1.1.Final.jar:7.1.1.Final] at org.jboss.invocation.InterceptorContext.proceed(InterceptorContext.java:288) [jboss-invocation.jar:1.1.1.Final] at org.jboss.as.ejb3.component.singleton.SingletonComponentInstanceAssociationInterceptor.processInvocation(SingletonComponentInstanceAssociationInterceptor.java:53) [jboss-as-ejb3-7.1.1.Final.jar:7.1.1.Final] at org.jboss.invocation.InterceptorContext.proceed(InterceptorContext.java:288) [jboss-invocation.jar:1.1.1.Final] at

The underlying tables are VDS_STATIC, VDS_DYNAMIC and VDS_STATISTICS Once you get that VDS is HOST, VDS_GROUP suddenly starts making sense :) i appreciate your hard work,but i hope my suggest is meaningful. thanks ___ Users mailing list Users@ovirt.org http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users ___ Users mailing list Users@ovirt.org http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users ___ Users mailing list Users@ovirt.org http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users

Be able to port engine to other distributions. Really? Beside this topic I see hardcoded usernames in scripts... http://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/c/12551/2/backend/manager/dbscripts/dbfunctions.sh,unified These usernames are not hard-coded. There are default values present which are kept for local installations, but with remote DB setup the user is prompted to provide a username of her/his own. Not everywhere are postgresql dirs owned by postgres, on some BSDs it is _postgresql. Right, as I said this is going away. I am porting this first to Gentoo, which is the most complex, then I will be able to provide debian based. For the postgres issue, I am against assuming local database and the configuration of the database it-self (hba, etc). Like in other products, the dba will create a user and a database with the user as an owner and provide us the user/password and database name, this method does not require privileged database user for product installation and working locally or remotely, and is portable. actually, I'm against assuming we need a dba for a local install. we need to keep deployment easy, not assume user should worry about the db at all (other than providing the password for it, since it is needed later). can you pleas explain the concern, and the suggested solution on how it will look to run engine-setup/engine-upgrade in your approach? Let's start from the end... there will be no change (accept of maybe be one/two more prompts during installation) at rhel/centos/fedora. Now... People who wrote the current installation confused between host provisioning and database interaction. Another confusion out there is the wrong assumption that ovirt-engine owns the system it installed on, and can perform changes to shared system components such as apache and postgres. Both of these should not leak into other distributions as we port, oh well, as much as we can, in our current state. Host provisioning: 1. Check if postgres is installed on host. 2. Check if postgres already initialized its database and optionally perform initdb. 3. Start postgres service. 4. Mark postgres service to start at boot. 5. Open network access to postgres. 6. Set network authentication (pg_hba). 7. Set the dba (postgres) user password. 8. Create user for engine database. 9. Create database for engine. Database interaction: 1. Accept application user/password. Either: a2. Create schema. a3. Import data. Or: b2: Upgrade database. Now, let's assume we are going to support oracle or db2, will we do the host provisioning as part of our setup? well, we can provide a script to do that, but most likely the dba already know how to install and configure his database to be ready for the database interaction phase. Another issue is that in case of remote database, we are unable to perform the host provisioning anyway, making the local vs remote installation procedure different, so installation documentation becomes even more complex. And of course there is the issue of permissions, we cannot assume the user that is installing ovirt-engine have dba permissions to the database, especially if the database is remote. Well behaved database application will skip the host provisioning and perform the database interaction only. While the user will configure database and create the database for the product. We are going to be well behaved, this is mandatory for porting. There can be host provisioning plugin to optionally perform the provisioning phase, this is distribution dependent plugin, which will run only on supported distributions and the database is installed locally. Currently we will support the currently supported distributions, I am not sure it is wroth the effort to port this module. Example for user visible change if provisioning module is enabled: --- Database host [localhost]: localhost You have selected local database, setup can configure the database for ovirt-engine use, this includes system configuration and database creation. Do you wish installer to configure database, or you prefer to do so manually (configure, manual) [configure]: manual Please configure database to accept network password connections at pg_hba.conf: hostall

Thanks. Done. I haven't filled out one of those in a while. The bz# is 922274. I'm kind of hoping that ovirt-node gets more stable in terms of installation and configuration over time. With my hack I finally got ovirt-node to boot automatically on the box I was testing with, but then got completely stuck in network configuration when trying to configure bonded interfaces. WebUI doesn't work. ovirt-node console network settings don't stick. I gave up for now, threw the hard disk back in the box and booted it back up as a full hypervisor.

Given the following setup/situation: A cluster with a user A assigned poweruser role permissions on the cluster. - User A is assigned poweruser role permissions to storage domain A - User A is a consumer of quota A which is assigned to specific storage domain A A cluster with a user B assigned poweruser role permissions on the cluster. - User B is assigned poweruser role permissions to storage domain B - User B is a consumer of quota B which is assigned to specific storage domain B User A creates a VM and makes it a template of it with permissions of everyone as UserTemplateBasedVM. User B tries to create a VM based on the template that User A created. While the base VM profile can be created the storage provisioning encounters an issue. Via Template provisioning option with the thin provision option will fail due to the fact that User B does not have proper permissions to User A's storage domain. The symptom of this expected failure is the target storage domain pull-down is empty. (It really should show something or be greyed out rather than just be blank at least some sort of user notification). The real issue here is with the clone provisioning option. The idea here is to be to clone a copy of the template disks into User B's storage domain as a target where User B has poweruser role permissions. The problem here is that this fails just like the above thin provision which should not be the case. The target pulldown still blank it should by default show the target storage domain to which User B has permissions to that being Storage domain B. Further debugging yields that by assigning UserTemplateVM permissions to User A's storage domain allows User B to use either of the options above although the only one really desired is the clone option since we don't want User B creating VM's in User A's storage domain. There still however was an issue upon selecting clone and selecting Storage domain B as the target the VM is created but the disk is created in Storage domain A instead of storage domain B.
