Under ESXi I was pretty happy with the disk performance, and noticed very little difference from bare metal to HV. Under oVirt/QEMU/KVM, not so much…. Running hdparm on the disk from the HV and from the guest yields the same number, about 180MB/sec (SATA III disks, 7200RPM). The problem is, during disk activity, and it doesn’t matter if it’s Windows 7 guests or Fedora 20 (both using virtio-scsi) the qemu-system-x86 process starts consuming 100% of the hypervisor CPU. Hypervisor is a Core i7 950 with 24GB of RAM. There’s 2 Fedora 20 guests and 2 Windows 7 guests. Each configured with 4 GB of guaranteed RAM. Did you compare virtio-block to virto-scsi, the former will likely outperform the latter. Load averages can go up over 40 during sustained disk IO. Performance obviously suffers greatly. I have tried all combinations of having the guests on EXT 4, BTRFS and using EXT 4 and BTRFS inside the guests, as well as direct LUN. Doesn’t make any difference. Disk IO sends qemu-system-x86 to high CPU percentages. This can’t be normal, so I’m wondering what I’ve done wrong.

OpenvSwitch and QEMU are two such packages. The version of QEMU in RHEL started on 0.12 and has since had a large amount of backported features and bugfixes in many cases the backports were significant, perhaps more than should have been done. We're getting to the point that in future versions of RHEL we're likely to carry a newer version of packages like QEMU in the layered products (such as RHEV and RHEL-OSP) so that we can keep the base versions in RHEL and more aggressively rebase in the layered products. The qemu-kvm-rhev binary that's shipped in RHEV is built from the same source as qemu-kvm but with a different build option. If CentOS doesn't currently build that package it could easily be done or perhaps built by oVirt.

Re: [Users] virtio-rng / crypto inside vms
Entropy starvation isn't that common so for the vast majority of users it's not something that concerns them. But obviously it's important enough that we invested in creating a paravirtualized solution. RHEL 6.4 and 6.5 includes support within QEMU for virt-rng but not in libvirt. RHEL 6.6 will pickup the appropriate libvirt support for virtio-rng and it is in RHEL 7 beta. If I remember correctly it's in fedora 19 and later. If you are compiling your own then you need a QEMU version 1.3 or later and libvirt 1.0.3 or later. virt-rng is something we'd like to finish off in 3.4 it's effectively done already. The challenge will be where it's supported - since EL6 hosts won't be able to use it unless we get creative. If you're running on ovirt 3.2+ now with Fedora 19+ hosts then you can use a vdsm hook[1] to configure virt-rng for your guests. The XML required to inject in the hook would be relatively simple[2] On the topic of EL6 (before 6.6 comes out) then there is a way to work around this. libvirt has a mechanism to pass through qemu command line options[3] . It's somewhere inbetween a great hack and a risky solution - but it's certainly helped up out many times. With this qemu namespace option in libvirt you could easily make it work in a custom hook on EL6.

Additional I found no really guidance on how much entropy bits should be available to generate a secure key inside a vm, beside these numbers: http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1750.txt suggests about 128 bits of entropy for a single cryptographic operation. various other sources mention ranges between 100-200 or even at least 4096 entropy bits. Would it be a workaround to add a virtual sound device and use this one for /dev/random ? (But it would be useless if you have no real sound hardware I guess). Additional when you want to regenerate host keys in e.g. Ubuntu 3 Keys get generated so you need even more entropy to be on the save side. If you got any links to best practices or some good news regarding the state of virtio-rng that would be awesome.

What do you think? Is there anything already in place to jump into a vm before grub completes (other than setting a long delay in grub itself)?

Re: [Users] scsi disks inside VMs?
- Original Message - From: Paul Jansen vla...@yahoo.com.au To: users@ovirt.org Sent: Wednesday, March 27, 2013 10:52:17 PM Subject: [Users] scsi disks inside VMs? Hello. I'm wondering if it is possible to create VMs with ovirt that have scsi disks? I've just installed ovirt 3.2.1 on Fedora 18 and attached an ovirt node (the current fedora 18 based version). When adding disks to a VM I can chose from the 'IDE' or 'VirtIO' interfaces. I'd like a scsi option also. Mainly because when migrating from vsphere VMs this makes things simpler. Also, my current kickstart installer for various OSes does not yet handle 'vd' disks. To add to things I need to install a custom filesystem on the vms that wants a scsi disk. It does a scsi inquiry early on in the install phase and will not work in 'vd' disks. ie: ' sg_inq /dev/vda' does not work. I also know that the libata driver in recent linux distributions exposes IDE drives as scsi and allows a scsi enquiry to succeed. Unfortunately the use case I have required Enterprise Linux 5 and in this release IDE disks report as 'hd', whereas scsi disks report as 'sd'. So, I can just use an IDE disk to get around this problem. I understand that virt-manager will allow attaching scsi disks to KVM based virtual machines, and that this is made possible by recent changes in libvirt. I think we should be encouraging people to use the virtio disks where possible, but in cases where this is not straightforward ovirt - and RHEV - are missing a trick as far as allowing people that have existing vsphere setups to fairly easily move to ovirt. Is a 'scsi' interface' option for adding virtual disks for VMs on the roadmap? If not, could it be considered? There are plans to add support for virtio-scsi - still paravirtualized but providing a pv scsi controller that gives us more features - such as passing scsi commands to luns, allowing more disks per vm etc. 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

if you're using virtio for a Windows VM then you'll need virtio drivers, since these aren't included in the Windows install image.

Hello, I don't run currently any oVirt deployement in production but I have a lab. I used to run in production the old oVirt product (in rails). My best wishes for the future release of oVirt are : * GluserFS support as many of us * Nova (OpenStack Hypervisor) driver support ( http://docs.openstack.org/trunk/openstack-compute/admin/content/selecting-a-hypervisor.html ). I choose oVirt because my first goal is to manage a virtualized datacenter with OSS. But we begin to look at private cloud deployement. I think Aeolus would work with oVirt virtualization backend but AFAIK it only support redhat based linux which is not possible for us as we run Aelous has a RHEVM/oVirt driver that works today. If there are problems getting Aeolus working with oVirt we should dig into it, there shouldn't be any issues. almost only debian server except for virtualisation layer. So we would like to deploy OpenStack but to rely on oVirt for KVM hypervisors.

For those of you who sent me private messages, I'll be (anonymously) collating your feedback and forwarding it on. The range of users who have replied so far includes: * Sysadmin at small web hosting business * Cost-sensitive IT department of an unrelated industry That would be me. * Hosting provider specialising in HA * Running a private cloud * Test lab set-up considering for production deployment Well no one should be crazy enough to go live with a product they haven't at least ran inside a testing lab. And the top features you've cited are: * Stateless hypervisor * Ability to migrate VMs Number one reason I am working with oVirt * RHEL and KVM We are a debian based org so changing over to the RHEL based OS's is more a pain then a benefit. KVM is still kinda young compared to both Xen / Vmware it seems to work well but there aren't as many os's covered by the vitro drivers and there seem to be more bugs / race conditions but that has been steadily changing as it has been getting more mature * Cost * The ability to have your preferred OS as both hypervisor and guest as a first class citizen * Aimed for data center use-case rather than cloud This would be number 2 in the list. And the top gaps you've identified so far: * Insufficient resources (docs) to help with production deployment on ovirt.org * Difficulty of configuration and getting started * You'd like to see a more diverse contributor community * Stability (unfortunately, I don't have any concrete examples of this from the commenter) * History on resource usage in hypervisors and guests * Integration with Gluster * Offer choices of guest agents with other distributions than RHEL I could have created this list myself. I have hit pretty much every one of these limits in the last few months working with the project. 3.1 adds limited support for Gluster and ovirt seems to be more stable dispute F17 instability. As for the question of stability the file storage system in 3.0 can be a bit unstable. If your NFS share disappears for a few mins the file system tends to go offline and wont reactivate. Not sure about iscsi or FC since I don't have access to those file systems. This is all giving me great insight into who's here - please keep it coming!

1) run libvirt with debugging output enabled [1]
2) try to create the directories manually

Bare in mind you need to provide also the user ID. In addition - it may be that not all DS providers hold information on the users in the same way, and we perform some normalization in order to store them at DB in the same format. However, I guess we can run this Guid encoding code at engine-manage-domains, and then, it will be possible to add the user (if you provide the baseDN FQDN) to the system. Feel free to suggest a patch ;) In addition, an idea that popped to my head - let's say you want to add 100 users this way - will you provide for every one of them the baseDN? Maybe we should be able to configure a fefault base DN per domain? Hey, We do have an entry in vdc_options called LdapServers. It is a per-domain configuration, just like the other LDAP related configuration options. When looking for LDAP servers, the engine uses the ones in this configuration. If empty, it goes to the DNS. Currently the engine-manage-domains utility doesn't set this option, but if you would like to work with one LDAP server for testing purposes, or as a workaround, then you can set it manually: domain:1ldapserver1, domain2:ldapserver2 Would that mean that we can skip all the DNS SRV records?

The first is two clusters (SJC and NYC) each with 20 boxes PXEBooted to a backend NetApp. All guests are Linux (Centos, RHEL, and Fedora). One of the unique things with the clusters is they use read only linux and NFS root. The 2nd is still in design stage, but is starting out with 3 clusters (East / West US and Europe) each with 20 boxes. Each server is based on white label Xeon E5-2687W, 128GB RAM, 10GBase-T, and 12 SATA disks on a hardware RAID 6 controller. This is also going to use shared NFS read only root with PXEBoot from NetApps. I have been running GlusterFS on and off for 5 years and are looking at running GlusterFS on all the raw 300TB RAID6 in each server. Each server will be a brick, two servers with distribute for redundancy, 10 distribute pairs then will be unified. I have been trying to use this for raw image store for years, but its just not ready, so we will use NetApp for that, however GlusterFS will be very handy for tier 2 bulk storage. GlusterFS and Quantum are certainly in the works, but in a separate thread I'd love to hear feedback on the API what the issues/enhancements are. Would you be able to post some initial comments on that? APIs are great today on the backend, we are looking at the ability to modify the front end so we can tie it into our portal allowing users to manage their VMs seamless with the other services we offer.

I am slowly doing my stage two testing now. I have been finding very few issues that is pretty good since 3.1 is just going into feature freeze but I did find one that is kinda a show stopper and weird for me. I installed windows 2003 using my Dell CD on my Dell Hardware. On both ESXi and Xen Server windows authorization fine because the installer sees the Dell bias in some way but under oVirt it doesn't. From my research it looks like the feature is called SLP. Is there anyway to pass the Dell SLP info to the installer like it is done under both Xen and Vmware ESXi? I assume it would be a libVirt option of some kind I just can't find it. Some specific SMBIOS strings are being passed to identify the hypervisor. There isn't a feature that enabled passing select host bios strings in oVirt yet (patches welcome) but you can do this with a hook, see here http://gerrit.ovirt.org/gitweb?p=vdsm.git;a=tree;f=vdsm_hooks/smbios;h=c61ce8e73dc66791eb0390be3e764541b34c1137;hb=HEAD Thanks Robert ___ 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

There's extra work to do in addition to compiling and packaging oVirt, for example we need JBoss AS7 packaged in RPMs for EL6.

It seems like a good fall back for anyone who doesn't have proper power management capabilities. Fencing needs to reboot a node, WOL would only wake it up if it was suspended. -- Gary Scarborough IST Lab Manager Rochester Institute of Technology Rochester NY But it could issue the reboot command via SSH no? No. Fencing is used when the node is not responsive, if we could ssh into it then it's unlikely we'd be fencing it. When a node isn't responsive we need a mechanism to reset it but also confirm that it's been dealt with, so using IPMI (which is in nearly all servers today, even whitebox), iLO, DRAC, IMM, etc allows us to connect to the management controller reboot it and confirm that it's been reset. Other approaches we can take involve extending our use of sanlock. I was also interested in WOL and curious as to why it wasn't in there already. WOL allows the system to go into standby for power management (less desirable than Off, but standby could return to actually more desirable than off in many cases - for example in the cluster policy we could put a node into powersaving mode and more quickly resurrect it when required. That's been on the list for a long time - just needs patches . service faster). For poweroff, the shutdown command could be passed via SSH, but the system would have to prompt that manual booting would be required.

We need a stable machine type to ensure migration, you can have different qemu-kvm versions on different hosts but as long as they support the same stable machine type they will have compatibility for migration. The setting which you set in database (but see patch below to make it a config option) allows you to specify the required machine type.

Hi Folks, I've got oVirt 3.0 installed on a Fedora 16 machine, and I'm planning my data center. Great process, by the way, very straight forward. I'll have two host machines (on order) which I'll likely load with the oVirt image. These two hosts each will have a large amount of RAID 5 local storage. Here's my questions.. Storage: If I'm using this local storage on each host, will I be able to migrate VM's from host A to host B if needed, or does storage need to be shared. I guess another way of asking the question is, what's the best way for me to set this up? :) You'll need shared storage - NFS, iSCSI or Fiber channel. In the future they'll be other options such as native Gluster, but for now you'll need something like NFS. Networking: When I set up a logical network, how is that accessed from the physical network? For example, if my physical network is 192.168.1.0, and my logical network is 155.223.44.0, how will I connect to port 80 on a virtual machine with the IP 155.223.44.5 from IP 192.168.1.10. Is there port forwarding? I didn't see mention of it in the guide.

I had read the thread titled Some thoughts on enhancing High Availability in oVirt but couldn't help but feel that oVirt is missing basic HA while it's developers are considering adding (and in my opinion unneeded) complexity with service monitoring. Service monitoring is a highly desirable feature, but for the most part (today) people achieve it by running service monitoring in a layered fashion. For example, running the RHEL HA cluster stack on top of VMs on RHEV (or Fedora Clustering on top of oVirt VMs) So we could certainly skip providing service HA as an integral feature of oVirt and continue to leverage the Pacemaker style service HA as a layered option instead. In the past I've gotten the impression that tighter integration and a single UI/API for managing both VM and service HA was desirable. It all comes down to fencing. Picture this: 3 HP hypervisors running RHEV/oVirt with iLO fencing. Say hypervisor A runs 10 VMs, all of which are set to be highly available. Now suppose that hypervisor A has a power failure or an iLO failure (I've seen it happen more than once with a batch of HP DL380 G6s). Because RHEV would not be able to fence the hypervisor as it's iLO is unresponsive; those 10 HA VMs that were halted are NOT moved to other hypervisors automatically. I suggest that oVirt concentrates on having support for multiple fencing devices as a development priority. SCSI persistent reservation based fencing would be an ideal secondary, if not primary, fencing device; it would be easy to set up for users as SANs generally support it and is proven to work well, as seen on Red Hat clusters. Completely agree here. The Pacemaker/rgmanager cluster stacks already support an arbitrary number of fence devices per host, to provide support for both redundant power supplies and also for redundant fencing devices. In order to provide resilient service HA, fixing this would be a prerequisite anyhow. I've cc'd Andrew Beekhof from the Pacemaker/stonith_ng, since I think it might be useful to model the fencing for oVirt similarly to how Pacemaker/stonith_ng does it. Perhaps there's even some code that could be reused for this as well. As for SCSI III PR based fencing... the trouble here has been that the fence_scsi script provided in fence-agents is Perl based, and we were hesitant to drag Perl into the list of required things on oVirt Node (and in general) on the other hand, fence-scsi might not be the right level of granularity for oVirt based SCSI III PR based fencing anyhow. Perhaps better would be to just have vdsm directly call sg_persist commands directly. I've cc'd Ryan O'Hara who wrote fence_scsi and knows a fair bit about SCSI III PR. If oVirt is interested in pursuing this, perhaps he can be of assistance. There's also sanlock which plays a role here. In the past we required some form of fencing action but once sanlock is integrated that provides another path. I have brought up this point about fencing being a single point of failure in RHEV with a Red Hat employee (Mark Wagner) during the RHEV virtual event; but he said that it is not. I don't see how it isn't; one single loose iLO cable and the VMs are stuck until there is manual intervention. Agreed. This is something that should be easily fixed in order to provide greater HA. That being said, I still think more tightly integrated service HA is a good idea as well.

So I have been looking at how to move windows 2008 and R2 servers from vmware esxi4 over to ovirt. I moved my Linux servers over with clonezilla. But windows needs a sysprep and generalize not to mention uninstalling vmtools and vmware drivers. I have done this. I then use clonezilla to put the image onto a thinprovisioned drive on ovirt. It starts to boot then blue screen of death. Am I missing something other than syspreping the windows machine and uninstalling the vmware drivers? Also is there a better way? P.S. Also I have ovirt up in a production envirenment and is running rock solid for the past month great job guys!

Re: [Users] Questions about Ovirt flexibility
- Original Message - From: Mario Giammarco mgiamma...@gmail.com To: users@ovirt.org Sent: Sunday, February 12, 2012 4:54:24 PM Subject: [Users] Questions about Ovirt flexibility Hello, I have in my server lab several machines: - with debian or ubuntu - without virtualization extensions. So I ask: - is the ovirt agent (not the manager) installable on debian/ubuntu/gentoo? Not yet but community work in progress (patches welcome!) - is the agent compatible with rhev? RHEV isn't compatible with oVirt, in the same way that Fedora packages don't work on RHEL - can ovirt manager use rhev agent? Versions are different so you'll need to use oVirt agent instead. - can ovirt use servers without virtualization extensions but with QEMU installed? No we explicitly require KVM. Thanks in advance for any reply!

As Fedora the default system that Ovirt is packaged for does this mean that Ovirt will have the same (short) support life of 18 months ? I ask as that is a bit short to have in enterprise .. There is always RHEV if you want longer support... Right, I think the first question we should be asking here is... Morgan, what do you mean specifically by support? Since it's an upstream project, typically each new release would obviate the previous one, and new features would only go into the latest version. One valid question is whether or not bugfixes will only go into the latest version, or if the immediate prior version will get updates. (For example, bugfixes are backported to Fedora 15 even though Fedora 16 is out) Also, the term support from an upstream perspective is much different than from a product perspective. Perry ___ Users mailing list Users@ovirt.org http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users So on a follow up question: Is any consideration being given to RHEL as far as compatibility? Will Ovirt features be held back if adding them would be impossible to do with RHEL? Like a feature requiring a major update to a RHEL package? Or is it up to the RHEV developers to sort it all out for their needs? It won't be long before Fedora outpaces RHEL on version levels, depending on the time frame for RHEL 7. RHEL 5 had a very long life span and was quite dated by the time RHEL 6 shipped. What does held back mean? That's like asking if Fedora will be held back because of RHEL. Upstream is upstream - it's where new features are developed sometimes they can be backported, other times it's not possible and means waiting for a major release. -- Gary Scarborough IST Lab Manager Rochester Institute of Technology Rochester NY ___ 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
