Re: [ovirt-users] VM Autostart disable

2014-09-05 Thread Sven Kieske
You should not directly write to libvirt if you use ovirt.

set your HA-Flag in ovirt for the vm and it should be autostarted.

I don't know if this flag somehow pops up in the libvirt.xml but
I doubt it.

Re: [ovirt-users] Ovirt / RHEV interoperability

 Just curious and I'm not currently in a position to try it myself. Is
 there any interoperability between Ovirt and RHEV? In other words, can
 an Ovirt hypervisor work with a REV engine or can a RHEV hypervisor work
 with a RHEV engine?

In theory and maybe in real world this could work, however
I don't think you could get much support from red hat for your rhev/m
in such a setup.

So I really don't see the scenario you want to deploy?
If you need paid support, buy it, if not, stick with ovirt?

[ovirt-users] [hosted-engine] cluster network setup deadlock

2014-09-05 Thread Yuriy Demchenko

Hi,

i'm testing hosted-engine in my lab and have some issues doing network 
configuration of my cluster
I have 2 hosts + storage (iscsi/nfs), each with 2 NICs. My aim is highly 
available platform, so it must tolerate loss of one NIC, thus i want to 
use bonding + vlans, scheme like this:
bond device used as ovirtmgmt network (mgmt/display/migration, not a VM 
net) with no vlan tagging and several vlan-tagged networks for VMs and 
storage connection on top of it. I use that kind of scheme all the time 
with non-selfhosted ovirt, as it provides reliability, requires only 2 
nics, allows pxe-kickstarting and requires no switch reconfiguration 
during/after host setup.
However, with self-hosted engine i'm stuck - at deploy stage installer 
setups engine VM into ovirtmgmt network, making it VM network and i cant 
change it afterwards: when i uncheck vm network in web-interface for 
ovirtmgmt - it couldnt apply changes on host that running engine-vm (ok, 
thats expected), but if i setup another host with desired network 
configuration (i.e. ovirtmgmt - not a vm network + separate vlan-tagged 
networks for vm) it just couldnt migrate or start engine-vm, as it lacks 
ovirtmgmt bridge interface.
So, is there any way to change engine-vm network settings to run it on 
different bridge, not ovirtmgmt?

Trying to make an example for this I discovered that the custom_script

Instead we are taking the content of the first file element from the

Note that in this example I am including the custom script both in the

 As I said I am not a cloud-init expert, so I don't really know what is

   initialization
 cloud-init.../cloud-init
 custom-script![CDATA[runcmd:
  - touch /iwashere

 /action
 
 If you use this it should run the touch /iwashere command, and you can
 check that it did verifying that the /iwashere file exists.
 
 As I said I didn't test this, so I may not work. I'd appreciate if you

In 3.4 there is a backup/restore utility called engine-backup.  You can use 
this to backup the RHEV-M database(s) as well as restore.  Of course this won’t 
backup the Guest OS itself.
My DR strategy is to simply copy off these engine-backup files to another 
location.  If the hosted-engine needs to be restored for some reason I will 
just recreate the OS and restore the engine database.

Hi,All
 As the mauual, I can’t find anyway to backup/restore the rhevm-VM in 
the hosted-engine. The I just try to backup the storage of rhevm-VM (using cp 
�Cprf  to make a copy of folder). Then I make some change and replace the 
origin RHEVM-VM content with my backup folder (of course I shutdown the 
rhevm-vm first).  At last the vm can be up,but the status is NOT health but as 
below:


Status up-to-date  : False
Hostname   : 193.168.195.248
Host ID: 1
Engine status  : unknown stale-data
Score  : 2400
Local maintenance  : False
Host timestamp : 1409743461
Extra metadata (valid at timestamp):
 metadata_parse_version=1
 metadata_feature_version=1
 timestamp=1409743461 (Wed Sep  3 07:24:21 2014)
 host-id=1
 score=2400
 maintenance=False
 state=EngineUp

=

So are there some proper way to backup the rhevm-vm?

Re: [ovirt-users] How to backup/restore the rhevm-VM in hosted-engine ?

2014-09-05 Thread Groten, Ryan
In my case I actually have a spare server (physical) that I keep patched and 
up-to-date, the engine backups are automatically transferred there.  If my 
hosted-engine goes down I restore the engine database on the physical spare and 
run like that until I can get the hosted-engine back up.

I’ve never tried restoring onto a newly deployed hosted-engine VM using 
hosted-engine --deploy, but I can’t see why that wouldn’t work (maybe someone 
else knows if this is possible?).  I’ll give it a try too.

Subject: [ovirt-users] How to backup/restore the rhevm-VM in hosted-engine ?

Hi,All
 As the mauual, I can’t find anyway to backup/restore the rhevm-VM in 
the hosted-engine. The I just try to backup the storage of rhevm-VM (using cp 
�Cprf  to make a copy of folder). Then I make some change and replace the 
origin RHEVM-VM content with my backup folder (of course I shutdown the 
rhevm-vm first).  At last the vm can be up,but the status is NOT health but as 
below:


Status up-to-date  : False
Hostname   : 193.168.195.248
Host ID: 1
Engine status  : unknown stale-data
Score  : 2400
Local maintenance  : False
Host timestamp : 1409743461
Extra metadata (valid at timestamp):
 metadata_parse_version=1
 metadata_feature_version=1
 timestamp=1409743461 (Wed Sep  3 07:24:21 2014)
 host-id=1
 score=2400
 maintenance=False
 state=EngineUp

=

So are there some proper way to backup the rhevm-vm?

 Hi, I'm testing oVirt Live and I'm getting the engine installed, the
 storage ready and a VM ready to be started.
 But when I try to start it I have:


 Error while executing action:

 local_vm:

 Cannot run VM. There is no host that satisfies current scheduling
 constraints. See below for details:
 The host local_host did not satisfy internal filter Network because
 network(s) are missing.

 I tried creating a brand new vm and that fails to start too:

 Error while executing action:

 test:

 Cannot run VM. There is no host that satisfies current scheduling
 constraints. See below for details:

 it sounds like the host network is not configured correctly,
 when you go to the host in the webadmin, select the network subtab
 you should see there the host nic and the network it is attached to, i assume 
 it will be blank,
 where the vm nic is assigned to the cluster network, ovirtmgmt (as it 
 should..)
 
 try to use setup networks (in that host' network subtab) to fix that (i think 
 its just drag and drop the network on the nic)

I'm not really sure to have understood what may be wrong on the live automated 
setup.
I've started a build which is now completed and is archiving artifacts, can you 
give it a run yourself and see what happens?

http://jenkins.ovirt.org/job/ovirt_live_create_iso/474/

It doesn't require any change on your disk, just boot from cdrom / usb pendrive.
It will use just ramdisk / existing swap.

It's designed to run without any network connectivity, creating the bridge over 
dummy interface.


 

 Attached vdsCaps and logs.

 Any hint on what's missing?

 I can't see it in the output, but maybe it's the display network?
 if you got one, it _must_ have an ip assigned, I opened a bug about
 this not very informative error message and I guess it's already fixed
 in master.

 As far as I can see, only the management network is listed and looks like
 it's working.
 ovirtmgmt has 10.0.0.1 as ip address so it has one.



 Make sure all cluster wide defined networks are available on your host.

Re: [ovirt-users] Passing custom script to cloud init using api

2014-09-05 Thread Juan Hernandez

 Hi Juan,
 
 Thanks for your reply.
 
 I tried with the above but i was unable to find the 'iwashere.txt' after
 executing the above xml.
 

I repeated the test, this time with 3.4, and it worked fine for me. As
the formatting of the XML is very important I'd suggest that you take
the attached script (instead of copy  paste from the mail), change the
password and VM id and run it.

There are two kind of things that can go wrong here. One is that the
engine/VDSM combination may not be generating the right file. To verify
this start the VM with the attached script, and once it is started go to
the hypervisor where it is running and find the corresponding qemu process:

  # ps -ef | grep -- '-name myvm'

This will give you a very long command line. That command line should
include a -drive option containing the full path of the disk image
generated by the engine/VDSM, something like this:

  -drive
file=/var/run/vdsm/payload/b5f087d4-022d-4d5f-8a1e-268c562c7bb1.b6fcddff571bb8c2028c61b623d172a6.img

To inspect its content make a copy (just in case) and mount it:

  # cp -drive
file=/var/run/vdsm/payload/b5f087d4-022d-4d5f-8a1e-268c562c7bb1.b6fcddff571bb8c2028c61b623d172a6.img
/root/my.img
  # mount -o loop,ro /root/my.img /mnt

Inspect the content:

  # find /mnt
  /mnt/openstack
  /mnt/openstack/content
  /mnt/openstack/content/
  /mnt/openstack/latest
  /mnt/openstack/latest/meta_data.json
  /mnt/openstack/latest/user_data

The content of the custom-script should be at the end of the user_data
file, so take a look at that:

  # cat /mnt/openstack/latest/user_data
  #cloud-config
  ssh_pwauth: true
  disable_root: 0
  output:
all: ' /var/log/cloud-init-output.log'
  user: root
  password: mypassword
  chpasswd:
expire: false
  runcmd:
  - 'sed -i ''/^datasource_list: /d'' /etc/cloud/cloud.cfg; echo
''datasource_list:
[NoCloud, ConfigDrive]''  /etc/cloud/cloud.cfg'
  runcmd:
   - echo I was here!  /iwashere.txt

If your custom script isn't there then there is some problem in the
engine/VDSM side, otherwise the problem is probably in cloud-init
itself, and we will need someone with more knowledge of cloud-init to
debug it.

Don't forget to umount the file when finished:

  # umount /mnt

  Trying to make an example for this I discovered that the

  Instead we are taking the content of the first file element from the
  cloud_init element and appending it to the cloud-init configuration
  file. I believe that this is a bug, as it breaks backwards 
 compatibility:
 
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/1138564
 
  Thanks for the report, I just proposed this as a blocker for the 3.4.4
  release as it is a clear regression.
  Also I rely on this functionality in my 3.3. setup and I want to upgrade
  to 3.4 so I can't upgrade until this is fixed and released.
 
 Agree, I set the bug as a blocker for 3.4.4.
 
 
  However, you can exploit this bug to do what you want. This is an 
 example:
 
  Well I guess this is a pretty bad idea, because it will just work
  until the bug is fixed?
 
 
 No, what I proposed in the example is to put the custom script in both
 the first file inside clud_init and in the custom_script element.
 That should work with the current status and also if/when we fix the
 bug.

[ovirt-users] OVirt Guest Agent Service service could not be started

2014-09-05 Thread Richard Long
Alexander and GrzegorzThanks the new 3.5.2 iso at http://resources.ovirt.org/pub/ovirt-3.5-pre/iso/ovirt-guest-tools/works great, but if, as I had already installed the tools from github, you need to uninstall the old service or revert toa previous snapshot. I'm sure the 3.5 doc will take care of this, perhaps the 3.4 doc could be updated.Regards,Richard

[ovirt-users] Issues with Storage domain

2014-09-05 Thread Carlos A. Diaz
Hello everyone, its my first time here; so I hope I am on the right place

I had a problem where one of our  SysAdmins cloned our NFS production export in 
order to create a new NFS export, but he didn't changed the FSID, so we ended 
up with 2 nfs exports using the same ID. I was able to roll back and recover 
the data, once I had corrected everything I went to the hosts and unpaused the 
VMs from the CLI (I lost the engine in the process), so now we are back up and 
running.

My problem right now is that oVirt says that our main storage domain is Down 
and I can't bring it up, so essentially I cannot start any VMs on that domain, 
which hosts 90% of our production environment; which is also scary because I am 
not sure how to recover from this error without affecting my production 
environment. 

My guess is that at some point the MD5 hash changed, or something in the 
metadata for that Domain, but I don't know if this is the problem and if 
recreating the signature is possible without breaking my existing configuration.

Is there anyway to mark it as UP from the database or at any other level 
without breaking (more) the config? 

Thanks in advance!

Hi Carlos,

Can you please attach the vdsm/engine logs to have people investigating 
what's happened in your environment?


Thanks!
