Re: [ovirt-users] hosted-engine vm-status stale data and cluster seems "broken"

[Sahina Bose]

Are the ovirt-ha-agent and ovirt-ha-broker services running on all the 
nodes? If they are, check the agent.log and broker.log for errors.

[ovirt-users] RHEV-M installation failure

Extended scalability  (200 node clusters) and no bottlenecks around scsi3

If your SAS storage is exposed to multiple hosts and presents the same wwid
to all clients you can set it up as fc, as long as multipath can detect it.
DDAS like dell md3000 works great this way.

Re: [ovirt-users] which NIC/network NFS storage is using

[Ryan Mahoney]

I tried a few different additions of ip route to the host, but I am unable
to connect/ping to the nfs server once I add them.  I first tried adding it
to the bond0 dev, and then to one of the logical interfaces within that
bond, but neither worked.  I also get an error of "rtnetlink answers:
network is unreachable" when I include a gateway in the ip route add
command.  if I leave the gateway off, it will allow me to add the route,
but it does not work as a valid route. I do not have an IP address on the
logical  network that I am attempting to use on the bonded connection, the
manager does not like it when I try and assign one.

 In VMware world that would be vmkernel interface, so a new

Re: [ovirt-users] Storage types in oVirt

[Fernando Frediani]

Hi Nir,

I wouldn't say that the performance coming from LVM is significantly 
better than from a filesystem if the last is well built. In VMware the 
performance from a VMDK running on the top of VMFS5 and from a RDM has 
no significant gain one over another. I've always preferred to have 
machines in a filesystem for the ease of management. In some cases with 
hundreds of them in a single filesystem never faced performance issues. 
The bottleneck normally is down to the storage architecture (Storage 
Controller, RAID config, etc).


The multipath is certainly a plus that helps in certain cases.

I guess the answer to my original question is clear. If I want to use 
block storage shared among different hosts there is no choice in oVirt 
other than LVM.
In a particular case I have a storage shared via a kind of internal SAS 
backplane to all servers. The only alternative to that would be dedicate 
a server to own the storage and export it as NFS, but in that case there 
would be some looses in the terms of hardware an reliability.


Thanks
Fernando

Hi Nir,
Thanks for clarification.

Answering your questions: The intent was to use a Posix like filesystem
similar to VMFS5 (GFS2, OCFS2, or other) where you have no choice for how
the block storage is presented to multiple servers. Yes I heard about GFS2
escalation issues in the past, but thought it had been gone now a days, it
seems not.

I had the impression that qcow2 images have both thin-provisioning and
snapshot capabilities.

Yes, using file based storage, you have both snapshots and thin provisioning,
this is the most reliable way to get thin provisioning in ovirt.

But then you pay for the file system overhead, where in block storage the qemu
image is using the lv directly.

In block storage we use multipath, so if you have mutiple nics and networks,
you get better reliability and performance.


Regarding LVM I don't like the idea of having VMs buried into a LVM volume
nor the idea of troubleshooting LVM volumes when necessary. Dealing with
qcow2 images for every VM separately makes things much easier for doing
several tasks. I would say that people coming from VMware would prefer to
deal with a VMDK rather than a RDM LUN. In the other hand I have nothing to
say about LVM performance.

LVM has its own issues with many lvs on the same vg - we recommend to
use up to 350 lvs per vg. If you need more, you need to use another vg.

The best would be to try both and use the best storage for the particular
use case.

Yes, using file based storage, you have both snapshots and thin provisioning,
this is the most reliable way to get thin provisioning in ovirt.

But then you pay for the file system overhead, where in block storage the qemu
image is using the lv directly.

In block storage we use multipath, so if you have mutiple nics and networks,
you get better reliability and performance.

LVM has its own issues with many lvs on the same vg - we recommend to
use up to 350 lvs per vg. If you need more, you need to use another vg.

The best would be to try both and use the best storage for the particular
use case.

Hi Nir,
Thanks for clarification.

Answering your questions: The intent was to use a Posix like filesystem 
similar to VMFS5 (GFS2, OCFS2, or other) where you have no choice for 
how the block storage is presented to multiple servers. Yes I heard 
about GFS2 escalation issues in the past, but thought it had been gone 
now a days, it seems not.


I had the impression that qcow2 images have both thin-provisioning and 
snapshot capabilities.


Regarding LVM I don't like the idea of having VMs buried into a LVM 
volume nor the idea of troubleshooting LVM volumes when necessary. 
Dealing with qcow2 images for every VM separately makes things much 
easier for doing several tasks. I would say that people coming from 
VMware would prefer to deal with a VMDK rather than a RDM LUN. In the 
other hand I have nothing to say about LVM performance.


Best
Fernando

This is the only option for block storage if you need snapshots or thin

If preallocated disk without snapshots is good enough for you, you
can attach a LUN directly to a vm. This will give the best performance.


Was ever considered to have something like GFS2 ou OCFS2 in comparison with

Any posix compatible file system can be used, using raw or qcow2 files.

You can use GFS2, but I heard that it does not scale well.


I don't like LVM and have a strong preference for anything related to
storage that doesn't use it so the reason I'm looking for a different way to
use block storage without it having to be a LVM.

You can use one of the file based storage options, or ceph.

Whats wrong with lvm?

[ovirt-users] Hosted Engine Woes

[Nic Seltzer]

Hello!

I'm looking for someone who can help me out with a hosted-engine setup that
I have. I experienced a power event a couple of weeks ago. Initially,
things seemed to have come back fine, but the other day, I noticed that one
of the nodes for the cluster was down. I tried to drop it into maintenance
mode (which never completed) and reboot it then "Confirm the Host has been
rebooted". Neither of these steps allowed the host to re-enter the cluster.
Has anyone encountered this? At this point, I'd like to reboot the
hosted-engine, but I can't find documentation instructing me on "how". I'm
also open to other suggestions or references to documentation that will
help triage my issue.

Thanks!

 We don't configured anything regarding network used for nfs storage, so
 it works
 just like any other nfs mount you create yourself.

[ovirt-users] Storage types in oVirt

[Fernando Frediani]

Hi there,

I see that supported storage types in oVirt are: iSCSI, FCoE NFS, Local 
and Gluster.
Specifically speaking about iSCSI and FCoE I see they use LVM on the 
block storage level to store the Virtual Machines.


I just wanted to understand why the choice was to have LVM and if that 
is the only option at the moment.


Was ever considered to have something like GFS2 ou OCFS2 in comparison 
with VMFS5 and VMs running in qcow2 ou raw files on the top of it ?


I don't like LVM and have a strong preference for anything related to 
storage that doesn't use it so the reason I'm looking for a different

Re: [ovirt-users] which NIC/network NFS storage is using

[Fernando Frediani]

I guess what the colleague wants to know is how to specify a interface 
in a different VLAN on the top of the 10Gb LACP in order for the NFS 
traffic to flow.
In VMware world that would be vmkernel interface, so a new 
network/interface with an different IP address than Management (ovirtmgmt).

Hi!

Make sure you added the right parameter to the kernel command line, as per

"""
TL;DR: To make use of a serial console, just use console=ttyS0 on the kernel 
command line, and systemd will automatically start a getty on it for you.
"""

nice full tutorial on http://0pointer.de/blog/projects/serial-console.html

Re: [ovirt-users] hosted-engine vm-status stale data and cluster seems "broken"

[Charles Kozler]

Anyone have any other possible information on this? I've noticed this issue
before and usually it just takes a bit of time for the cluster to 'settle'
after some node reboots but its been a few days and its still marked as
stale.

Re: [ovirt-users] how to build and install ovirt to the Product Environment

​Hi,

in that case I'd recommend building RPMs from source and install them. But
be aware that engine is only one part whole set of RPMs which oVirt project
contains. Anyway if you want to build an RPM from source, please take a
look at README.adoc in root directory in short here are steps:

  make dist
  rpmbuild -ts ovirt-engine-X.Y.Z.tar.gz
  yum-builddep   #  should be replace with real name of
.src.rpm from previous step
  rpmbuild -tb ​

​ovirt-engine-X.Y.Z.tar.gz

Created RPMs are stored in $HOME/rpmbuild/RPMS


Be aware that if you want to install those RPMs you will still need other
RPMs from oVirt project like otopi, ovirt-host-deploy, ovirt-setup-lib,
ovirt-engine-extension-aaa-jdbc an others. Building all of them is quite
huge task, so that's why I recomended you RPM installation.
