Re: [Users] The purpose of Wipe on delete ?
Il 27/02/2014 22:16, Dafna Ron ha scritto: wipe = writing zero's on the space allocated to that disk to make sure any data once written will be deleted permanently. so it's a security vs speed decision on using this option - since we zeroing the disk to make sure any information once written will be overwritten, a delete of a large disk can take a while. I think this may be not really useful, zeroing files on modern file systems can't grant any kind of security improvement. According to shred man page: CAUTION: Note that shred relies on a very important assumption: that the file system overwrites data in place. This is the traditional way to do things, but many modern file system designs do not satisfy this assumption. The following are examples of file systems on which shred is not effective, or is not guaranteed to be effective in all file system modes: * log-structured or journaled file systems, such as those supplied with AIX and Solaris (and JFS, ReiserFS, XFS, Ext3, etc.) * file systems that write redundant data and carry on even if some writes fail, such as RAID-based file systems * file systems that make snapshots, such as Network Appliance's NFS server * file systems that cache in temporary locations, such as NFS version 3 clients * compressed file systems In the case of ext3 file systems, the above disclaimer applies (and shred is thus of limited effectiveness) only in data=journal mode, which journals file data in addition to just metadata. In both the data=ordered (default) and data=writeback modes, shred works as usual. Ext3 journaling modes can be changed by adding the data=something option to the mount options for a particular file system in the /etc/fstab file, as documented in the mount man page (man mount). In addition, file system backups and remote mirrors may contain copies of the file that cannot be removed, and that will allow a shredded file to be recovered later.

[Users] Setting up an ovirt-node
Hello, I did a clean install of a ovirt-node with the iso provided from ovirt. Everything went fine until I logged on with the admin user and configured the ovirt-engines address. Now I don't have any network connection any more. I have 2 nic's available and defined only the first one with a static IP. When I check the network settings in the admin menu it tells me I have serveral bond devices. If I log on with a root user it states that under /etc/sysconfig/network_scripts that there is a ifcfg_em1, ifcfg_ovirtmgmt and a ifcfg_brem1. The two last devices use the same static ip that I defined on the ifcfg_em1. How can I get my network back up and runnig as I will need this to connect to the engine which is running on an other server.

I guess that *not* using the migration network for storage operation is the expected behavior, to make migration faster and safer.

Re: [Users] oVirt 3.5 planning
That is the extended tab, If only having user-permissions that tab is not avalible, nor should it be. My point is, the basic tab lacks functions, and the extended gives an ordinary user far to many options (as earlier stated wont work anyway since a ordinary user wont get any permission to create new machines, disks etc) hence my suggestion to add a few new features to the basic tab.

So adding to the basic view in the user portal a power off button and extending the ordinary user-permission to also include power off I think would be a good idea.

Re: [Users] oVirt 3.5 planning
Hi, I'm kind of out of date at this time, but I'd like to propose something that was meant for 3.4 and I don't know it it made into it; use any nfs share as either a iso or export so you can just copy into the share and then update in some way the db. Also, make export domain able to be shared among dcs as is iso domain, that is an rfe from long time ago and a useful one. Attaching and dettaching domains is both time consuming and boring. Also using tagged and untagged networks on top of the same nic. Everybody does that except for ovirt. I also like to say that tough I have a huge enthusiasm for ovirt's fast evolution, I think that you may need to slow down with adding new features until most of the rfes that have over a year are done, because other way it's kind of disappointing opening a rfe just to see it sleeping too much time. Don't take this wrong, I've been listened and helped by the team everytime I needed and I'm thankful for that.

Similarly, if the VM is started on host1, it fails to migrate to host2. Extract from host2 log is in the end. The LV in question is 6b35673e-7062-4716-a6c8-d5bf72fe3280. As far as I could track quickly the vdsm code, there is only call to lvs and not to lvscan or lvchange so the host2 LVM doesn't fully refresh. lvs should see any change on the shared storage. The only workaround so far has been to restart VDSM on host2, which makes it refresh all LVM data properly. When vdsm starts, it calls multipath -r, which ensure that we see all physical volumes. When is host2 supposed to pick up any newly created LVs in the SD VG? Any suggestions where the problem might be? When you create a new lv on the shared storage, the new lv should be visible on the other host. Lets start by verifying that you do see the new lv after a disk was created. Try this: 1. Create a new disk, and check the disk uuid in the engine ui 2. On another machine, run this command: lvs -o vg_name,lv_name,tags You can identify the new lv using tags, which should contain the new disk uuid. If you don't see the new lv from the other host, please provide /var/log/messages and /var/log/sanlock.log. Just tried that. The disk is not visible on the non-SPM node. This means that storage is not accessible from this host. Generally, the storage seems accessible ok. For example, if I restart the vdsmd, all volumes get picked up correctly (become visible in lvs output and VMs can be started with them). Lests repeat this test, but now, if you do not see the new lv, please run: multipath -r And report the results. Here's the full sanlock.log for that host: ... 0x7fc37c0008c0:0x7fc37c0008d0:0x7fc391f5f000 ioto 10 to_count 1 2014-02-06 05:24:10+0200 563065 [31453]: s1 delta_renew read rv -202 offset 0 /dev/3307f6fa-dd58-43db-ab23-b1fb299006c7/ids Sanlock cannot write to the ids lockspace Which line shows that sanlock can't write? The messages are not very human readable. The one above my comment at 2014-02-06 05:24:10+0200 I suggest to set sanlock debug level on the sanlock log to get more detailed output. Edit /etc/sysconfig/sanlock and add: # -L 7: use debug level logging to sanlock log file SANLOCKOPTS=$SANLOCKOPTS -L 7 Last entry is from yesterday, while I just created a new disk. What was the status of this host in the engine from 2014-02-06 05:24:10+0200 to 2014-02-18 14:22:16? vdsm.log and engine.log for this time frame will make it more clear. Host was up and running. The vdsm and engine logs are quite large, as we were running some VM migrations between the hosts. Any pointers at what to look for? For example, I noticed many entries in engine.log like this: It will be hard to make any progress without the logs.

Re: [Users] [ANN] oVirt 3.4.0 Release Candidate is now available
Started testing this on two self-hosted clusters, with mixed results. There were updates from 3.4.0 beta 3. On both, got informed the system was going to reboot in 2 minutes while it was still installing yum updates. On the faster system, the whole update process finished before the 2 minutes were up, the VM restarted, and all appears normal. On the other, slower cluster, the 2 minutes hit while the yum updates were still being installed, and the system rebooted. It continued rebooting every 3 minutes or so, and the engine console web pages are not available because the engine doesn’t start. it did this at least 3 times before I went ahead and reran engine-setup, which completed successfully. The system stopped restarting and the web interface was available again. A quick perusal of system logs and engine-setup logs didn’t reveal what requested the reboot. That was rather impolite of something to do that without warning :) At least it was recoverable. Seems like scheduling the reboot while the yum updates were still running seems like a poor idea as well. -Darrell On Feb 28, 2014, at 10:11 AM, Sandro Bonazzola sbona...@redhat.com wrote: The oVirt team is pleased to announce that the 3.4.0 Release Candidate is now available for testing.

Re: [Users] Snapshot merging and the effect on underlying LV metadata

Any chance of a re-basing / refresh / backport at least into RHEL 6 (we have only one Xen oriented dom0 at this point on C5)? It will be in RHEL6.6.

[Users] Setting up proof of concept
Hello, I would like some help in setting up an ovirt solution to provide an enviroment for me and my co-workers. I have a hp proliant 380 g5 with 2 4-cores, 32 gigs of ram and 8 300gb disk setup in a raid 10. It also has 6 1gb nic's. This one I think of using as the ovirt engine and nfs server. I also have a dell r420 with 2 6-cores, 64 gigs of ram and 2 146gb disks an 2 1gb nic's. This one I would like to use as a ovirt node. I have been thinking about it and trying stuff out but always seem to be doing something wrong. How would you go about this. How would you use the resources available. Do I need to configure the nic's in a specific way to seperate nfs access or not. I would like to use a seperate, virtual network for the vm's. Al the tutorials if have found are not so clear to me. Any help would be greatly appriciated on this. Or just point me in the right direction. Kind regards. ___ Users mailing list Users@ovirt.org http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users
