Re: [Users] Configuring oVirt 3.3.4-1.el

[Meital Bourvine]

Hi Andy, 

What do you mean by non responsive? What's the status of the VMs according to 
the web admin? 
Could you please attach engine+vdsm logs?

[Users] Configuring oVirt 3.3.4-1.el

[Andy Michielsen]

Hello all,

I 'm having problems when I want to import a new virtual machine or create
a new one from a template.

Every virtual machine I have running is unresponsive when I try to create a
new virtual machine with the import or from template.

I'm running a oVirt engine on a Centos 6.5 minimal installation which also
function as a NFS server. It has 6 NIC's available, 32 GB of RAM and 2 Quad
cores.
My node has 2 NIC's, 64 GB of RAM and 2 Six cores.

How should I configure my network for optimal performance or how can I
check why my virtual machines are non responsive. I don't see much CPU
activity or disk access at that moment.

Kind regards.

[Users] Get involved in oVirt integration! April edition

[Sandro Bonazzola]

Hi,
have you got some free time and do you want to get involved in oVirt 
integration?
After the success of first edition we're now proposing this again.
Here are a couple of bugs you can hopefully fix in less that one day or you can 
just try to reproduce providing info:

Bug 1080823 - [RFE] make override of iptables configurable when using 
hosted-engine
Bug 1073965 - iptables rules are not applied at the end of all-in-one 
installation
Bug 1065350 - hosted-engine should prompt a question at the user when the host 
was already a host in the engine

Is this the first time you try to contribute to oVirt project?
You can start from here [1][2]!

It didn't work with the same error as before...
Searching through as for some reason it wasn't able to find
jdbc.properties, I put myself into the directory containing it.
So that what it worked was this workflow:

[g.cecchi@tekkaman incoming]$ sudo su -

[root@tekkaman ~]# mkdir /tmp/js_export/

[root@tekkaman ~]# export
masterPropsSource=/var/lib/ovirt-engine-reports/build-conf

[root@tekkaman build-conf]#

The problems is that I got the export done, but I now have the file
/tmp/js_export/users/ovirt-002dadmin.xml and it seems to have the
password in encrypted form too...



ovirt-admin
ovirt-admin
ENC<3DD74ECD56672B06967EBFC4E74A4394>

false
true

ROLE_ADMINISTRATOR


So the question is how do I edit it or probably simply how to encrypt
the password
Knowing how to encrypt, I probably could only generate the new
encrypted value and simply update the filed inside the jiuser table
(if it is the only table involved...)


But then I tried to modify the string
ENC<3DD74ECD56672B06967EBFC4E74A4394>

into
mypassword

and run the import

1) the command as suggested refused to update already existing users

Re: [Users] Login Error using AD domain

[Yair Zaslavsky]

Hi,
Seems you still have some issue in your environment if this error is reported, 
you can try to kinit yourself and check.
For that you will need an appropriate krb5.conf file to be placed at 
/etc/krb5.conf - and to perform

kinit user@REALM

the content of the krb5.conf file can be:


[libdefaults]
default_realm = 
dns_lookup_realm = true
dns_lookup_kdc = true
ticket_lifetime = 24h
renew_lifetime = 7d
forwardable = no
no-addresses = false
default_tkt_enctypes = arcfour-hmac-md5
udp_preference_limit = 1

This was working fine, now I get the error below in engine.log when I try
to log in. The clock times are the same. I even changed the time service on
the domain controller to use the same NTP source as the engine server. I
have rebooted the domain controller to make sure that all settings were

without issue, the problem is just with this particular domain.

that seems silly. Seems like the kinda thing that would be a nice

 It's a bit more complicated than thatthere's no XML stored in the 
 backend.
 You'd be better off applying the patch over and compile yourself:)
 The supported way of how to amend the libvirt XML is via VDSM hooks. You 
 need
 to intercept the created XML and add whatever is needed, see
 http://www.ovirt.org/VDSM-Hooks, some of the examples can be used as a base
 for what you're trying to do...

iirc, its

I thought you can set these not via engine-manage-domains, but i could

this should work with pools as well. you just need to pre-add the
domain (via enigne-manage-domains) and configure the user/password
with credentials to add the computer to the domain (via engine-config)

   the dropdown field is editable so one can enter any
custom domain
 then it gets replaced in the system's sysprep template.

 the same goes for user credentials - tehre's the Alternate
 Credentials checkbox…does it not work?

 BTW note in 3.4 you would be able to use a custom sysprep
file (with
 existing variables substitution)

Are you referring to SysPrepDefaultUser: "Default SysPrep user name" (Value

Hi,

I tried as you suggested, but floppy is not getting attached it seems.
below is the code



*_Steps followed:_*

I. Create windows VM
II. installed host agent
III. *To seal a Windows virtual machine with sysprep*


i assume this is a windows 7? make sure to start it with a floppy (say, 
virtio-win.vfd) prior to sealing it, so it will have the floppy driver 
(its not enabled by default in windows 7).
there may also have been some registy needed in windows 7 to enable 
sysprep via floppy.




 1. In the Windows virtual machine to be used as a template, open a
command line terminal and type *regedit*.
 2. The *Registry Editor* window displays. On the left pane, expand
*HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE* → *SYSTEM* → *SETUP*.
 3. On the main window, right click to add a new string value using
*New* → *String Value*. Right click on the string value file and
select *Modify*. When the *Edit String* dialog box displays, fill in
the provided text boxes:
  * Value name: UnattendFile
  * Value data: a:\sysprep.xml
 4. Launch sysprep from C:\Windows\System32\sysprep\sysprep.exe
  * Under *System Cleanup Action*, select *Enter System
Out-of-Box-Experience (OOBE)*.
  * Tick the *Generalize* checkbox if you need to change the
computer's system identification number (SID).
  * Under *Shutdown Options*, select *Shutdown*.

Click *OK*. The virtual machine will now go through the sealing process
and shut down automatically.

just launch a windows VM, look at the generated sysprep file we pass
to the VM via the floppy disk.
then pass it as a payload as-is.
then try to change what you want.

 the dropdown field is editable so one can enter any custom domain 
then it gets replaced in the system's sysprep template. 

the same goes for user credentials - tehre's the Alternate Credentials 
checkbox…does it not work?

BTW note in 3.4 you would be able to use a custom sysprep file (with existing 
variables substitution)

It's a bit more complicated than that….there's no XML stored in the backend. 
You'd be better off applying the patch over and compile yourself:)
The supported way of how to amend the libvirt XML is via VDSM hooks. You need 
to intercept the created XML and add whatever is needed, see 
http://www.ovirt.org/VDSM-Hooks, some of the examples can be used as a base for 
what you're trying to do...

Re: [Users] how do you connect to a host's serial console

[Jeremiah Jahn]

thx, So dumb question at this point. I'm in the process of moving from
virt-manager to ovirt.  virsh has an edit domain function, or I can
edit the xml by hand. I'm able to locate the xml on the host, but
obviously if I edit it by hand it will be replaced by vdsm. I'm having
a hell of a time trying to find the xml on the engine, so that I can
try modifying the xml to add a serial console.  Based on that code
that's all that's really going on with that patch. So I'd think I can
wing it by modifying the db or xml directly.  Just not sure where to
go to do so.  I'm guessing I could go into vm_device and replace
device='virtio-serial' with 'serial'  but that seems to easy. Any
pointers you've got on how the xml is stored or produced would be
great.

[Users] oVirt 3.4 Templates break Foreman Provisioning/Adding host

[Matt .]

Hi Guys,


On Foreman 1.4.2 it seems that you have issues with oVirt 3.4 when adding a
host.

When you add this host you will get an error as oVirt now has more
templating stuff:

VM template.id|name required for add


Is there a workaround for this to get the creation of VM go further ?


Thanks!

I'm pretty sure we are on the same page here.  I just checked the ovirt 
'quickstart' page and it calls the various hypervisor nodes 'hosts'.
ie: Fedora host, EL, host, ovirt node host.
If the ovirt node included the qemu-kvm-rhev package - or an updated qemu-kvm - 
it would mean that both ovirt node hosts and fedora hosts could both support 
live storage migration.  It would only be EL hosts that do not support that 
feature at this stage.  We could have a caveat in the documentation for this 
perhaps.
Fabian, were you think thinking that if not all 'hosts' supported live 
migration that the cluster could disable that feature? Based on capabilities 
that the hosts would expose to the ovirt server?  This would be another way of 
avoiding the confusion.

Thanks guys for the great work you are doing with ovirt.

Re: [Users] Shrinking virtual size of VM

[Yusufi M R]

Thanks for the info.

Subject: Re: [Users] Shrinking virtual size of VM

You should be able only to extend disk size, not shrinking it.

There was an idea to integrate virt-sprsify for thin provisioned disks, (see
http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/proposal/review/org/google/gsoc2014/utkarshsins/5629499534213120)
although this is not supported yet.

Maor

The hook has too options: either macspoof (for the whole VM) or
ifacemacspoof (for a single vNIC).

If one of them does the other thing, it's a bug that I'd like to know
about (preferably with the complete log requested earlier).

I'm pretty sure we are not supposed to be limiting the domains a VM can

Okay - thanks for the explanation.
In general I would discourage from installing the ovirt-node package ona
normal host.
If you still want to try it be aware that the ovirt-node pkg might mess
with your system.


just to make sure there is no confusion, ovirt supports two types of nodes:

- plain fedora/rhel/centos - engine will deploy vdsm and friends on it
  when added
- ovirt-node - engine will only register it, it already comes with all
  needed packages.

Re: [Users] node spin including qemu-kvm-rhev?

[Paul Jansen]

I'm going to try top posting this time to see if it ends up looking a bit 
better on the list.

By the 'ovirt hypervisor packages' I meant installing the OS first of all and 
then making it into an ovirt 'node' by installing the required packages, rather 
than installing from a clean slate with the ovirt node iso.  Sorry if that was 
a bit unclear.

EL7 is one point, but there were users also asking for Fedora based
Nodes and we use Fedora for development, to have stable Nodes (at some
point later) based on CentOS.

The Fedora based images are at least for now available from Jenkins.

and really don't know where this other
package comes from.

I was really thinking it was used.

Thanks for your correction.

Re: [Users] set domain credentials to be used during sysprep joining an AD domain.

[Shahar Havivi]

Roy is right, this will add the domain to the list of domains in the Initial 
Run section 
Please note that there is an open bug regarding this issue 
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1072414

EL7 is one point, but there were users also asking for Fedora based
Nodes and we use Fedora for development, to have stable Nodes (at some
point later) based on CentOS.

The Fedora based images are at least for now available from Jenkins.

What is this ovirt hypervisor package you mention?

Hey,

yeah - that is also my concern.
oVirt node has a mechanism (in master) to expose that features are
present or not, but I don't know if vdsm has the capability to pass this
on to Engine, and if Engine has the logic to detect incompatabilities
based on the underlying qemu-kvm-rhev version.

Hi,

I can confirm this - precise package works fine on Debian.


Hi Rene,Sven, ea,


How did you get it to actually work? I got the deb from
(http://ppa.launchpad.net/zhshzhou/vdsm-ubuntu/ubuntu/pool/main/o/ovirt-guest-agent/ovirt-guest-agent_1.0.9.20140216.git5168c4-1ppa1_all.deb)
, since I'm not willing to add ubuntu sources to my apt-configuration
since that might make me run into dependency troubles later on.


This one works fine with Debian:

https://launchpad.net/~zhshzhou/+archive/vdsm-ubuntu/+files/ovirt-guest-agent_1.0.8.201309301944.gitb7f8f2-1ppa1_all.deb

The version you try to use is for Ubuntu 13.10.


Regards,
René




After downloading and dpkg -i'ing it, I ran an apt-get -f install in
order to get the dependencies. Then I reran dpkg:

There's a configfile regarding initscripts in /etc/init,  but no such
thing on the sste, (I just had a look at the contents of the ubuntu
package too).
How did you resolve this? Creating my own initscript isn't that hard but
it sucks when it comes to having a maintainable setup...


Cheers,

IIRC I put:

{'storagenet':
{'bonding': 'bond0', 'vlan': '10', 'bootproto': 'dhcp',
 'custom': {'ethtool_opts': '--offload em2 rx on --offload em1 tx on'}}}

This is the networks dictionary, the bonding dictionary and the setupNetworks
dictionary I didn't even mention because they are not relevant to the feature.
