[Users] hosted engine help

[Jason Brooks]

Hey everyone, I've been testing out oVirt 3.4 w/ hosted engine, and
while I've managed to bring the engine up, I've only been able to do it
manually, using hosted-engine --vm-start.

The ovirt-ha-agent service fails reliably for me, erroring out with
RequestError: Request failed: success.

I've pasted error passages from the ha agent and vdsm logs below.

Any pointers?

Regards, Jason

 Hi Jason,
 
 Thanks! I'm going to try this after finishing my coffee!
 Can you explain to me *why* this will change the situation? I'd like to
 have a better understanding about the inner workings of ovirt.

I don't know -- TYPE=0 is what you find in the export domain metadata
files. I'd love to be able to bring back images w/o the export domain
step in the middle...

 
 
 Cheers,
 
 Boudewijn

 Hi Jason,
 
 can you please attach the full logs? We had very similar issue before I we
 need to see if is the same or not.

I may have to recreate it -- I switched back to an all in one engine after my
setup started refusing to run the engine at all. It's no fun losing your engine!

This was a migrated-from-standalone setup, maybe that caused additional 
wrinkles...

   looks like a VDSM bug, Dan?
  
  Why? The exception is raised from deep inside the ovirt_hosted_engine_ha

 Subject: Re: [Users] Reimporting storage domains after reinstalling ovirt
 
 Hi Guys,
 
 
 Thank you very much Jason, Itamar, Gadi! I'm almost there thanks to your
 help.
 
 My steps were:
 
 - remove the old storageconnection:
 
 $ curl  -u admin@internal:* -X DELETE
 https://192.168.1.44:443/api/storageconnections/5636a8c3-65b6-44a4-9ba4-e598dc60a4e4
 -k
 
 I changed version 3 - 0 in metadata file
 
 And did an import (export NFS):
 192.168.1.44:/raid/ovirt-old/data
 
 Currently the box is importing the VMs from the old to the new repository.
 
 But, there's still a last challenge to overcome:
 
 I had this VM with about 2TB storage attached on both my storage domains
 (I had another one too). This poses two different problems:
 
 - I can't import the VM from the first storage domain, since not all
 disks did reside on this single storage domain. This error pops up
 (which is  quite logical):
 
 Error while executing action:
 
 downloadbak:
 
   * Cannot import VM. VM's Image does not exist.
 
 Yeah I know I shouldn't have split the VMs resources over multiple
 storage domains... I won't make that mistake again. Is there a way to
 move these disks from the second old domain to the first old domain
 so the VM can be reimported?
 
 Furthermore, my storage machine has about 1.4TB free disk space left.
 While importing, a copy of a VM is being made... and this particular one
 is 2TB. So I'm going to run out of disk space while doing so; is there a
 way to move instead of copy a VM while importing it?

Some people have reported success creating an image of the desired size,
then noting the name of this new image, and copying the old image into the
place of the new one, with the new name. Something like that might work, but
I don't have first-hand experience w/ it.

Jason

 
 
 Cheers (and thanks a lot for all the help, I really appreciate it!),

 Hi Jason,
 
 Thanks, although that's quite an ugly option, although better than not
 being able to do it at all... I'll keep it in mind anyway if everything
 else fails.
 
 Well I was wondering: Can't I just copy those images and vm's from the
 second storage domain to the first and add those in the metadata?
 I might give that a shot tonight.

There's a database element to this as well, that's why I think there's
the fake image creation element.

[Users] ovf image for hosted engine

[Jason Brooks]

Hey all,

The hosted engine may be installed from pxe, cdrom or disk. The disk format
must be an OVF image, right?

Any suggestions on how to create an ovf image? Poking around, I see mentions 
of tools to convert from ovf, but not to ovf, at least not within the 
KVM/libvirt world.

I know that this format is used within oVirt, but I don't understand how to 
go from the *.ovf file in the export domain + the disk image file or files 
to a single disk image.

Do these have to be zipped together? Is there some utility for that, or 
guidance on how it comes together?

My cdrom and pxe hosted engine installs have been spotty -- some crashes,
some unresponsiveness from pxe and from the cd install -- so I'd like to
know how to take the disk route...

Thanks, Jason

Re: [Users] hosted engine help

[Jason Brooks]

  
  I experienced the exact same symptoms as Jason on a from-scratch
  installation on two physical nodes with CentOS 6.5 (fully up-to-date)
  using oVirt
  3.4.0_pre (latest test-day release) and GlusterFS 3.5.0beta3 (with
  Gluster-provided NFS as storage for the self-hosted engine VM only).
 
 Using GlusterFS with hosted-engine storage is not supported and not
 recommended.
 HA daemon may not work properly there.

I used Gluster NFS, too. That's not supported or recommended?

I've assumed that I could use Gluster NFS / NFS interchangeably...

That was it. Thanks!

 The cloud-init data is passed only to linux VMs.
 A new patch changed that, and passed it to all non-windows VMs, so if
 you left the defaults, and the OS type is Other OS, then it doesn't
 work without the patch.

  Hi all --
  
  I've been trying, without success, to use cloud-init w/ oVirt 3.4 on
 Fedora
  19 hosts. I've had similar failure in the past, but here are the
 steps I'm
  taking currently:
  
  1. Import as template F19 image from ovirt-image-repository glance
 repo
  2. Create new vm based on that template
  3. Choose ovirtmgmt as the nic1 for the VM
  4. Show advanced options, click initial run, expand authentication,
 enter
  a root password, paste my public key into the allowed ssh keys field
  5. Hit OK, and then run the VM
  6. In the VM's console, I see it complain about No instance
 datasource found
  7. Unsurprisingly, I can't log in w/ pw or ssh.
  
  (By the way, are there any default creds for these images? I thought
 they
  might
  be based on the fedora cloud images, but their default uname fedora
 pw
  nothing
  doesn't work)
  
  I've tried some other derivations of this, launching from the Run
 Once menu,
  filling in various different fields, etc.
  
  Any clues?
  
  I don't see many people complaining about this, so I'm assuming it's
 working
  for other people. I don't know, maybe it's something with Fedora?
  
  Thanks, Jason

 Subject: [ovirt-users] oVirt Hosted Engine and gluster mount - native nfs?
 
 Hi,
 
 I'm having many issues with the inbuilt gluster nfs server (crashing
 and disconnecting). I was wondering, if anyone's tried exporting the
 gluster mount through glusterfs and then running a NFS server locally?

I haven't tried this, but I'm testing gluster nfs w/ ctdb  a virtual IP
and that seems to be working so far...

Jason

 
 eg.
 storage servers (gluster) - hypervisor (gluster client - export nfs
 of gluster client)
 
 Does this pose any issues with sanlock if there are then multiple nfs
 servers? I've been simply mounting the nfs servers as
 localhost:/hosted-engine as it means another host can die without
 effecting the nfs connection. My only concern would be regarding
 sanlock/nfslock as there'd be multiple NFS servers.
 
 Thoughts?
 
 Thanks,
 Andrew

  On the Gluster site there is a QEMU repo I'll send you the link latter
  today. But essentially CentOS doesn't include the Gluster client or
  libraries so they can't compile against it.
  I'm not sure why CentOS and Scientific Linux don't include it but I think
  it might just be an over site since Gluster 3.4 is new set of packages
  which were added in the latest release of RHEL 6.
  In truth you can simply unpack the source RPM and rebuild it with Gluster
  support its not difficult but I don't remember the flags you need to pass
  the rpmbuild command off the top of my head. That said I'd probably use the
  ones off the Gluster site any way.
  If you are using Gluster 3.5 the ones included in RHEL are incompatible
  because Gluster still has large API changes between minor releases and they
  were compiled against 3.4.
 
  Also Gluster 3.5 is a brand new release so I wouldn't rule out the
  possibility of a bug. So if the Gluster enabled QEMU rpms don't help you
  may need to inquire on the Gluster mailing list.
 
 
 If I remember correctly, due to problems with snapshots (now solved I
 think) and with live migration (not yet solved) the developers hard coded
 the fact that the  xml domain definition is the suboptimal one.
 So, even if you change gluster repo, the qemu command line generated by
 oVirt will be the same, so without the use of libgfapi.

I recently tested with F20 hosts and virt pkgs from the fedora-virt-preview 
repo, and the libgfapi support remained disabled.

The changelog for libvirt 1.2.2 mentions a gluster/qemu/snapshot fix, I'd
hoped this would do the trick, but I couldn't figure out how to re-enable
libgfapi to test it...

 to the DC with DC status as Up and
 1 host with status as Up and the same (only) host acting as SPM.
 
 I used the engine-iso-uploader utility to upload my .iso to the iso domain.
 Created a new VM and attached a vdisk of type sparse (thin-prov) and
 click on Run Once,
 where i select Attach CD and select my .iso, and change boot order to
 boot from CD, then disk.
 
 But i get this error...

I hit this same issue last week, on an ovirt-engine that I'd updated
from nightly to stable. In order to get around the issue, I completely
uninstalled ovirt and removed the /rhev/datacenter directory, which
wasn't removed automatically when I uninstalled ovirt. Once I did that,
I was able to proceed normally.

 I am unable to figure out why.. bcos the user.group perms for the .iso
 are fine.
 In fact i logged into the system serving the nfs share and added 0777 perms
 still i get the same error. Here is the snip of how the perms for .iso
 look like...

Re: [Users] vdsm issue

I wonder about that dirty yum upgrade bit -- I upgraded a remote F15
server to F16 yesterday using preupgrade-cli and then went on to
configure that server as engine+host as you're doing. It worked fine.

  I'm not sure what you mean by more configuration. As I understand
 after install of vdsm it will be started as a service which apparently
 is not going well.
 can you try adding the host via the engine (it will reboot in the last
 phase...).
  It's exactly what I did. After vsdm install I went to ovirt-engine
 page and add host (localhost in this case). In event window i saw that
 there are components installing and after reboot i can see information
 as below:
 
 This host is in non responding state. Try to Activate it; If the
 problem persists, switch Host to Maintenance mode and try to reinstall it.
 
 Of course Activate solves nothing.

[Users] testing ovirt-engine in Fedora 17: how to get webadmin?

[Jason Brooks]

I'm testing out the ovirt-engine packages in Fedora 17. At the URL for
the engine, there's a note, Note: You are using a stripped down
version, full version with GUI included can be downloaded in oVirt
Project Site.

The note links to the ovirt.org wordpress blog -- is there a suggested
path to getting the full gui that works with the Fedora 17 packages?

[Users] On oVirt 3.1, Fedora 16 and 17 hang at boot

[Jason Brooks]

Hi everyone,

I'm testing oVirt 3.1 with a few different VM types, and I'm
experiencing boot issues with Fedora 16 and 17, 64bit. F17 hangs while
booting from the F17 install DVD. F16 installs normally (minimal
install), but hangs during the initial boot after installation. The F16
VM will boot to rescue mode, however.

The VM appears to get through the full boot process, but then the CPU
usage goes to 99 or 100% and the VM won't respond. I've tried with spice
and vnc consoles, with and without USB enabled. I've let it sit for
quite a while, and the VM CPU usage stays pegged, and the VMs remain
unresponsive.

CentOS 6.2 and Ubuntu 12.04 VMs, both 64bit, work normally on my oVirt
3.1 setup. Any idea what might be causing the issue, or how I might go
about debugging it?

Thanks, Jason

 did you try ide disk instead of virtio? a VM without a nic?

I just tried booting from the F17 installer with each of these cases:
using an ide disk, using no disk, using e1000 nic, rtl8139 nic, no nic.
I've also tried with both preallocated and thin provisioned disks. All
the same: the F17 install dvd hangs at boot.

The same F17 dvd image, when accessed from the same nfs share via
virt-manager on my F17 notebook, works as expected.

The F16 dvd image boots at least, as does the boot.fedoraproject.org
image, though Fedora systems installed with either of those do not boot.

Maybe I'll try building a new vdsm to test.

Good to go right?  Will this mess with vm's already running etc.

Pretty certain this will break things badly.

The un-test but the way that should work is.

Uninstall oVirt 3.0 do not engine-clean
Upgrade from Fedora 16 to Fedora 17.
Add the beta repo's
yum clean all
Yum install ovirt-engine
Run enginue-upgrade and follow it instructions



Has anyone else tested this? I just tried it on a test rig of F16 
running 3.0, upgrading to 3.1 beta on F17. All the steps completed fine, 
except that I had to remove ovirt-engine-jbossas, which conflicted with 
the new, from Fedora, jboss-as, before installing ovirt-engine 3.1.


After engine-upgrade completed, I wasn't able to access the engine. 
Jboss-as was stopped, as was httpd. Starting them up didn't make the 
engine accessible, though. I just got the default fedora pages for JBoss 
and for Apache.


On my own oVirt setup, I moved from 3.0 to 3.1 by moving my VMs and 
templates to my export domain, detaching my export and iso domains, and 
installing 3.1 from scratch, before importing my iso and export domains 
and ferrying my VMs and templates over to my new data domain.


What's the most sane upgrade advice we can offer to oVirt 3.0 users?

Since I was stuck at the DMV all day I haven't had a change to test
these instructions at all before doing these steps I would do a full
backup of the DB and a snapshot of the system.  If you can clone the
system and do these steps on a clone even better.

the sane upgrade path (nothing is sane in Fedora 16 to Fedora 17
upgrade):
1. run engine-cleanup, do not drop DB
2. remove all ovirt-engine rpms (including the JBoss one)
   - please not that this will remove the PKI, so you'll have to
   re-install your hosts
3. Do the fedora upgrade
4. install ovirt-engine rpms
5. run engine-setup
   - Give same passwords to the DB/admin user

in this case, engine-setup should upgrade the db, and not install it.
we didn't tried this approach yet, so I'll appreciate any input.


Can someone please try this out and verify it works? I'd like to include this 
process in the release notes.


I've been testing this path today. I get all the way to step 5, running 
engine-setup, and the script fails out after asking for my existing db 
password. The script asks for my password, over and over (I tried 
entering it like 25 times) and keeps on asking until I hit enter with a 
blank password a couple of times, at which point it fails out.

And yet it did prompt me multiple times for my password. I can take a

 Subject: [Users] Live snapshots. About how far off is it?
 
 Hi,
 
 the subject says it all really. I´ve been setting up oVirt-3.1 and
 absolutely love it, I must say. There´s just that you have to take
 down a guest to make snapshots that ticks me off a little. It
 disrupts production. So how far off, 6 months, a year, two years?
 What priority has it on the roadmap? Any response would appreciated,
 it makes it easier to plan a migration.

It works for me now with the current 3.1 beta, as long as my host is running 
qemu 1.1. I've been taking qemu 1.1 packages for F18 
(http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/buildinfo?buildID=344871) and rebuilding 
them for F17.

Re: [Users] Looking for help: Demo videos

[Jason Brooks]

Hey everyone:

I've made a screencast of creating VMs in oVirt 3.1: 
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C4gayV6dYK4

I wrote a blog post about the tools and process I used: 
http://blog.jebpages.com/archives/screencasting-ovirt/

Now that I have the process down (and my oVirt 3.1 rig in shape), I'll do a few 
more of these before the 3.1 launch.

 Subject: [Users] Looking for help: Demo videos
 
 Hi everyone,
 
 Last week I pitched the idea of having some demo videos (I called
 them
 screencasts although that's not quite accurate) ready before the
 3.1
 release next week.
 
 I don't have the domain knowledge to do this myself, so I need your
 help!
 
 What is there to do?
 
 1. Go to http://wiki.ovirt.org/wiki/Screencasts - have a look at the
 features I've proposed for the first round of videos. If you really
 think one of them shouldn't be there, or there's a really important
 feature you'd like to see a demo for, please reply here and we'll
 discuss it. You can always add a proposed feature with the skeleton
 template to the Screencasts page also, but there's no guarantee we'll
 have a video by the time the release comes around. It would helkp me
 prioritise if we could gather feedback here.
 
 2. For each feature, we should have a scenario/script for the demo,
 including:
   * Required pre-requisites and set-up (what do I need to do before I
 start the demo)
   * A step by step description of how to show the feature being
   demoed
 
 Right now, only two features are described, and those descriptions
 may
 need work.
 
 If you see a feature which is not yet described, and you know how to
 use
 it, please add a little script following the template. If you see a
 feature which is not described well enough, please update the
 description.
 
 3. For each feature with a script, we need a video. I have started a
 page to help people record videos of their screen, for the systems I
 know about: http://wiki.ovirt.org/wiki/Recording_video - the videos
 (without sound) can, I think, be attached to the wiki page - ogv or
 webm
 format preferably, please!
 
 4. For each video, we will need a sound-track. I'm happy to voice
 over
 some of the videos, but again, it would be nice to spread the load.
 We're not even here yet, though.
 
 Thanks everyone for your help! It will be greatly appreciated.
 
 Regards,
 Dave.

[Users] Issues with NFS domains and kernel-3.5.0-2.f17

[Jason Brooks]

Hi all--

Is anyone else running ovirt hosts on fedora kernel version 3.5.0-2.f17? 

That's the current fedora kernel, and I'm finding that nfs domain cannot attach 
with that kernel running: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=845660.

I'm working around the issue by running the previous fedora kernel.

 Anyone know if I can share an nfs export volume between two discrete
 ovirt installations?  I'm migrating VMs from a 3.0 install to a 3.1
 install and wondered if I could have the same export domain
 connected both that the same time?  Just curious.


I've found that only iso domains allow themselves to be shared.

Re: [Users] Install of oVirt 3.1

[Jason Brooks]

I just hit this issue while trying out oVirt on Google Compute Engine (I'm 
testing Gluster stuff only, so it doesn't matter that the GCE hosts are VMs). 

GCE offers CentOS as one of its VM image options, and selinux is disabled in 
their CentOS images. 

For the sake of posterity, I got around this block in the installer by editing 
/usr/share/ovirt-engine/scripts/engine-setup.py to remove 
_configureSelinuxBoolean,  from the list of functions in the 'Handling httpd' 
portion of the install script.

 Subject: [Users] Problem with creating a glusterfs volume
 
 So I have a problem creating glusterfs volumes.  Here is the install:
 
 
1. Ovirt 3.1
2. 4 Nodes are Fedora 17 with kernel 3.3.4 - 5.fc17.x86_64
3. 4 nodes peer joined and running
4. 4 nodes added as hosts to ovirt
5. created a directory on each node this path /data
6. chmod 36.36 -R /data all nodes
7. went back to ovirt and created a distributed/replicated volume
and
added the 4 nodes with brick path of /data

Is this an NFS domain?

Is your volume named data -- the path should match the gluster volume name, 
not the path on the filesystem (unless they're the same). If your volume is 
maingfs1 then the nfs path should be hostname:/maingfs1.

Also, I've found that I've had to chown 36.36 -R /data after creating the 
volumes, because the subdirs that get created when you create a volume start 
out as root-owned by default.

Jason




 
 I received this error:
 
 Creation of Gluster Volume maingfs1 failed.
 
 I went and looked at the vdsm logs on the nodes and the ovirt server
 which
 did not say much.  Where else should I look?  Also this error is
 vague what
 does it mean?

Nice work on the video! It goes nicely with the videos that Jason Brooks

Is there a way we can aggregate videos from different channels under one
account? There are a few other oVirt related videos that it would be
nice to promote through the channel.


I looked into this a bit this am -- it looks like there isn't a way to 
transfer videos from one channel to another, but I can make available 
the two videos I did for them to be re-uploaded to this ovirt channel

Done.

what happens to the status of the host when you right click on the

I'm having this same issue. Confirming the host is shut down doesn't 
make a difference.


I'm seeing lots of Failed to GlusterHostRemoveVDS, error = Unexpected

Hi , had looked in the Python script you had provided:
First, I must say that handling the database directly may leave DB
in inconsistent state, therefore, if there is no other option, the
database should be backed up prior to this operation.
In addition, I do not like the execution of the SQL statements in
the script.
There is a SP called DeleteVds(v_vds_id UUID) and you should use
that since it encapsulates all details.
For example, your script does not handle permission clean-up as the
SP does and therefore leaves garbage in the database.
In addition, a failure in your script may leave database in
inconsistent state while the SP is executed in one transaction and
will leave DB consistent.
So, in short I would prefer in this case that the relevant SP will
do the clean-up since this is the one that is used by the code and
that insures (at least I hope so) , that all related entities are
removed as well.


 
  Thanks

what happens to the status of the host when you right click on the

I'm having this same issue. Confirming the host is shut down doesn't
make a difference.

I'm seeing lots of Failed to GlusterHostRemoveVDS, error = Unexpected
exception errors in my engine log that seem to correspond w/ the failed
remove host attempts.


is cluster defined as gluster as well?


Yes, it is.


what is the status of the host after you confirm shutdown?
any error on log on this specific command?


I have two hosts I want to remove -- one, a failed add that never 
completed, and the other, an F17 machine that I subsequently updated to 
F18. So neither of those hosts are actually connected to my engine. 
Their status is either non-responsive or maintenance, if I activate, 
it's the former, if I set it to maintenance, it's the latter. I can 
only attempt to remove in maintenance mode, so that's where I have them.


There don't appear to be any errors confirming manual reboot.



shireesh - not sure if relevant to this flow, but need to make sure
removing a host from the engine isn't blocked on gluster needing to
remove it from the gluster cluster if the host is not available any
more, or last host in gluster cluster?

Re: [Users] call for suggests on oVirt authentication back-end (directory service, etc.)

[Jason Brooks]

Thanks to Tim Hildred, I found out about the need to have a directory

community to get a since for what is common, easy, and/or available to
best suit our wants.

First, what's the easiest one to setup and use?  Something with a simple
GUI would be desirable: a webmin module perhaps?

Most ideal would be something that is in line with our desire to move
towards single sign on, ultimately authenticating against Google Apps.
Does Google provide something supported?  Is there something that can
proxy google apps auth to an oVirt supported protocol?


I did some testing with FreeIPA: 
http://freeipa.org/page/InstallAndDeploy. It was easy to set up, works 
with oVirt, and has a web gui.


Jason



Alternately, we have an LDAP server, but it does NOT store passwords,
and as such, does not provide authentication for anything.  Will oVirt
store passwords for users created from such an LDAP service, or does
LDAP need to be the authority as well?

Finally, we also have NIS setup (thought we hope to get away from that
soon), so some means of authenticating through the systems local PAM
system would be the next most convenient.

These are just thoughts and I am completely open to suggestions.  Thanks
in advance for any input! =)

Jason created a PPA that's reference in the bug that I'm sure still works.


spice-xpi is a little tricky because it needs to be rebuilt for every

I have setup a fresh Fedora 17 machine and installed the latest

one plugin installer. It fails with the error:

Error: could not create ovirtsdk API object.


I checked the setup log and I see this error (also the full log is
attached):

NoCertificatesError: [ERROR]::ca_file (CA certificate) must be
specified for SSL connection.


Yes, this is a known issue, should be fixed in [1].


Is this fix in Fedora now? A commenter on my blog was hitting this 
issue w/ AIO.

However, I see you already have the newer ovirt-engine-sdk package, so I am 
confused.

ovirt-engine-sdk-3.2.0.2-1.20121015.git8013c12.fc17.noarch

Dan, the problem with the pkgs in the Fedora repos is that they lack

[Users] oVirt at LinuxCon Europe Next Week

[Jason Brooks]

LinuxCon Europe 2012 is taking place next week in Barcelona, Spain, 
alongside a cluster of related workshops and summits, several of which 
will focus on the oVirt Project.


If you are planning on attending LinuxCon Europe next week, it should 
provide a great opportunity to connect with other oVirt community 
members in attendance. If you know others outside the community who plan 
to be at LinuxCon Europe, and who may be interested in learning more 
about oVirt, please pass along this information.


On Monday November 5, from 10:30am to 7:00pm, and continuing on Tuesday 
from 10:30am to 4:30pm, there will be a Technology Showcase with booths 
from LinuxCon Europe exhibitors. The oVirt Project will be in booth #22, 
on the ground floor of the Hotel Fira Palace.


On Tuesday November 6, the oVirt Project's own Itamar Heim, from Red 
Hat, will giving the talk, Introduction to the oVirt Virtualization 
Management Platform, from 2:15 pm to 3:10pm, at the Hotel Fira Palace, 
in the Verdi room, as part of the CloudOpen Summit.


On Wednesday November 7, the oVirt Workshop will kick off at 9am in the 
L'ARIA Restaurant, before covering an introduction to oVirt, 
architecture and roadmap presentations, and deep dives into oVirt 
networking and storage, leading up to a Hands-On Install  Play Lab from 
3:30pm to 6:00pm.


Also on Wednesday, at the KVM Forum, there will be an oVirt Demo from 
5:30pm to 6:00pm in the Ambar room.


On Thursday November 8, the oVirt Workshop resumes at 9:00am in the Rubi 
room, with a full day of sessions devoted to oVirt integration topics.


Also on Thursday, at 11:15am, Red Hat's Vijay Bellur will be giving a 
talk on Integrating GlusterFS, oVirt and KVM as part of the Gluster 
Workshop, in the Vivaldi room.


On Friday November 9, the oVirt Workshop will begin its final day with a 
brief keynote in the Ambar room, before proceeding with a day of 
developer-focused topics back in the Rubi room.


For details on the oVirt Workshop agenda, see the schedule at 
http://events.linuxfoundation.org/events/kvm-forum/schedule.

It is right, user engine isn't a superuser and thus not allowed to create
the extension.
I modified the CREATE ROLE statement to include SUPERUSER role and
restarted engine-setup, now it continues and runs til the end.
Looking at the code I think that the second invocation of creating the
uuid-ossp extension isn't needed but commenting that line gives an error
too.
Looking at ovirt-stable and comparing the scripts in
/usr/share/ovirt-engine does show some changes but I don't know enough
internals to see what changed that causes this.

[ovirt-users] ilo4 vs. ipmilan fencing agents

[Jason Brooks]

Hi all --

I'm trying to get fencing squared away in my cluster of hp dl-380 servers,
which come with ilo4. I was able to get a successful status check from 
the command line with fence_ilo4, but not w/ the ilo4 option in ovirt.

I see, though, that ilo4 in ovirt just maps to fence_ipmilan, and I was
not able to get a successful status check w/ fence_ipmilan from the cli.

So, I tried resetting the mapping so that ilo4 maps to ilo4. Now I can 
complete the power management test in ovirt, but I imagine there's some 
reason why ovirt isn't configured this way by default. 

Will fencing actually work for me with ilo4 mapped to ilo4, rather than 
to ipmilan?

Thanks, Jason

 If I use Fedora will everything work? I had numerous issues, IIRC I
 could not even get the ovirtmgmt switch to install and a few other
 things. What version of Fedora do you recommend then? Ill do another
 install and give that a whirl again.

My current setup is on F20, with a hosted engine running on CentOS 6.5.

I mainly use Fedora because nested kvm works better there.

My storage is gluster, hosted on the F20 machines. I'm seeing some
SELinux issues right now, so I'm in permissive mode until I can 
file bugs for them.

  Well, going with Fedora would at least get you the snapshots working, if I
  remember correctly, but that's not something you run in production. As you
  said, major issues.
 
  For CentOS, you need special versions of certain packages, since RedHat
  wants you to pay for RHEV, they have chosen to cripple the standard
  packages so those features won't work:
  http://lists.ovirt.org/pipermail/devel/2014-June/007735.html
 
  And here you can find the packages you need:

Re: [ovirt-users] ilo4 vs. ipmilan fencing agents

[Jason Brooks]

My colleague figured out that in order for ipmilan to work, I had to
include lanplus=on in the options. Apparently, lanplus=on is the
default for the ilo4 agent, and lanplus=off is the default for the
ipmilan agent.

 ILO3 and ILO4 are mapped implicitly to ipmilan with lanplus flag ON and
 power_wait=4

On my installation, ilo4 w/ no options fails the test. ilo4 w/ lanplus=on
in the options field succeeds. Is it possible that the lanplus=on options
isn't being registered/applied properly?

 If you change the mapping to use the native scripts its OK as long as it
 works for you
 addin Marec G to the thread
 Marec, should we always map ILO3  ILO4 to the native scripts (fence_ilo3 ,
 fence_ilo4) and not to ipmilan ???

 Hi all,
 
 As most of you have got hints from previous messages, hosted engine won't
 work on gluster . A quote from BZ1097639
 
 Using hosted engine with Gluster backed storage is currently something we
 really warn against.

My current setup is hosted engine, configured w/ gluster storage as described 
in my 
blog post, but with three hosts and replica 3 volumes. 

Only issue I've seen is an errant message about the Hosted Engine being down 
following an engine migration. The engine does migrate successfully, though.

RE your bug, what do you use for a mount point for the nfs storage?

Jason


 
 
 I think this bug should be closed or re-targeted at documentation,
 because there is nothing we can do here. Hosted engine assumes that
 all writes are atomic and (immediately) available for all hosts in the
 cluster. Gluster violates those assumptions.
 
 ​
 
 ​Until the documentation gets updated, I hope this serves as a useful
 notice at least to save people some of the headaches I hit like
 hosted-engine starting up multiple VMs because of above issue.
 ​
 
 Now my question, does this theory prevent a scenario of perhaps something
 like a gluster replicated volume being mounted as a glusterfs filesystem
 and then re-exported as the native kernel NFS share for the hosted-engine
 to consume? It could then be possible to chuck ctdb in there to provide a
 last resort failover solution. I have tried myself and suggested it to two
 people who are running a similar setup. Now using the native kernel NFS
 server for hosted-engine and they haven't reported as many issues. Curious,
 could anyone validate my theory on this?

In the log you attached to your bug, it looks like you're using localhost as

between the nfs hosts is handled by ctdb.

Anyway, like I said, my main testing rig is now using this configuration, 
help me try and break it. :)

 hosted
  by ctdb. So, you're only ever talking to one nfs server at a time, and

 I also tried your setup, but hit other complications. I used localhost
 ​in an old setup, ​
 previously as I was under the assumption when accessing anything gluster
 related,
 ​ the connection point only provides the volume info and you connect to any
 server in the volume group.​

As I understand it, with Gluster's nfs, the server you mount is the
only one you're accessing directly, which is why you need to use something 
else to distribute the load, like round robin dns, with gluster's nfs.

 
 
  Anyway, like I said, my main testing rig is now using this configuration,
  help me try and break it. :)
 
 rm -rf /
 
 Jokes aside, are you able to reboot a server without losing the VM ?
 ​ My experience with ctdb (based on your blog) was even with the
 floating/virtual IP it wasn't fast enough, or something in the gluster
 layer delayed the failover. Either way, the VM goes into paused state and
 can't be resumed.​

I have rebooted my hosts without issue. If I want to reboot the host
that's serving the nfs storage, I've stopped ctdb first on that host, 
to make it hand off the nfs -- I've done this out of caution, but I
should try just pulling the plug, too.

The main source of VM pausing I've seen is when you have two nodes, one
goes down, and the gluster quorum business goes into effect. With my 
current 3 node, replica 3 setup, gluster stays happy wrt quorum.

I'll be sure to post about it if I have problems, but it's been working
well for me.

 Subject: [ovirt-users] Self-hosted engine won't start
 
 Hi All,
 
 I have created a lab with 2 hypervisors and a self-hosted engine. Today
 I followed the upgrade instructions as described in
 http://www.ovirt.org/Hosted_Engine_Howto and rebooted the engine. I
 didn't really do an upgrade but simply wanted to test what would happen
 when the engine was rebooted.
 
 When the engine didn't restart I re-ran hosted-engine
 --set-maintenance=none and restarted the vdsm, ovirt-ha-agent and
 ovirt-ha-broker services on both nodes. 15 minutes later it still hadn't
 restarted, so I then tried rebooting both hypervisers. After an hour
 there was still no sign of the engine starting. The agent logs don't
 help me much. The following bits are repeated over and over.
 
 ovirt1 (192.168.19.20):

 From the above information I decided to simply shut down one hypervisor
 and see what happens. The engine did start back up again a few minutes
 later.

I've seen this behavior, too.

Jason

 
 The interesting part is that each hypervisor seems to think the other is
 a better host. The two machines are identical, so there's no reason I
 can see for this odd behaviour. In a lab environment this is little more
 than an annoying inconvenience. In a production environment it would be
 completely unacceptable.
 
 May I suggest that this issue be looked into and some means found to
 eliminate this kind of mutual exclusion? e.g. After a few minutes of
 such an issue one hypervisor could be randomly given a slightly higher
 weighting, which should result in it being chosen to start the engine.

 John

For ovirt 3.1 + F17, you'll find it in here: 
http://resources.ovirt.org/releases/3.1/rpm/Fedora/17/x86_64/.

You don't have to have it installed on your VMs, but it comes in handy, mainly 
for reporting the VM's IP address through the web interface.

There's a service associated with the agent that you'll want to start, I think 
it's just called ovirt-guest-agent

 I suggest you perform host deployment again.

Thanks, that worked. The ovirtmgmt bridge wasn't created the first time around,

I had this same issue today. There are no ovirt-host-* rpms in the 3.2 alpha

I believe that this feature requires a newer version of qemu than what

get this feature working on CentOS.

[Users] oVirt 3.3 -- Failed to run VM: internal error unexpected address type for ide disk

[Jason Brooks]

I'm experiencing an issue today on my oVirt 3.3 test setup -- it's an AIO
engine+host setup, with a second node on a separate machine. Both machines
are running F19, both have all current F19 updates and all current ovirt-
beta repo updates.

This is on a GlusterFS domain, hosted from a volume on the AIO machine.

Also, I have the neutron external network provider configured, but these
VMs aren't using one of these networks.

selinux permissive on both machines, firewall down on both as well 
(firewall rules for gluster don't appear to be set by the engine)

1. Create a new VM w/ virtio disk
2. VM runs normally
3. Power down VM
4. VM won't start, w/ error msg: 

internal error unexpected address type for ide disk

5. Changing disk to IDE, removing and re-adding, VM still won't start

6. If created w/ IDE disk from the beginning, VM runs and restarts as
expected.

Is anyone else experiencing something like this?  It appears to render the
Gluster FS domain type totally unusable. I wasn't having this problem last
week...

Here's a chunk from the VDSM log:

 Would I be wrong to assume that you had
 /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 defined before installation
 began?

My systems do always have this defined before installation begins. I almost 
always
do PXE installs of Fedora. Wonder how it differs from a DVD install...

 Dear ovirt users.
 I'm trying to setup an oVirt 3.3 installation using an already existing
 OpenStack glance service as an external provider.
 When I define the external provider, I put:
 
 Openstack Image as Type

 used the openstack public url.
 check Requires Authentication
 put the administrator user/password/tenant in the following fields.
 
 Unfortunately the connection test always fails and the glance provider

You also need to run this from the command line (of your engine):

engine-config --set KeystoneAuthUrl=http://host.fqdn:35357

And then restart the ovirt-engine service.

 The fact that now both VMs behave the same makes comparing them
 fruitless. Still it may be intersting to see your vdsm.log (from source
 and destination) since the first time a faulty VM was started until the
 'iface' exception.
 
  
  Do you think that this issue it's related to the hosts or with the manager?
 
 It smells very much Vdsm-specific, but I'm only guessing.

 I do not suppose this would help, but I'm not in the position to exclude

 I'd be interested to know when you need to hack it, which in most normal 
 flows shouldn't be needed?

I was running oVirt 3.2 w/ POSIXFS storage and Gluster. After 3.3 came
out, I exported a few VMs, and imported them into a GlusterFS domain on
3.3. After lots of trouble w/ that domain type, I exported the VMs
again, blew away that GlusterFS data center, made a new POSIXFS data
center, and went to re-import them. oVirt told me no, there were already
disks in the system with these names, and I'd have to clone then
instead.

I went ahead and cloned, even though that's a bit less convenient, and
required some config file fiddling to deal with the changed MAC address,
but it's times like these when I feel a desire to crack the DB, if not
to change things, then to figure out what ovirt thinks is happening.

libvirt-1.0.5.6-3.fc19 -- it started fine until I rebooted. SElinux is
permissive on these machines, btw. These machines are nested inside of
my main oVirt install, as well.

I couldn't see anything in the libvirtd.log that looked different from
the libvirtd.log on a node w/ the downgraded libvirt.

Re: [Users] oVirt 3.3.1 Beta now available

[Jason Brooks]

Some further 3.3.1 beta tests: 

Since I wasn't able to upgrade from 3.3.0.1 (seems related to bz1005533)
I did a fresh install of 3.3.1 beta on F19 -- an AIO install. That
worked fine, but I wasn't able to add an additional host, and tried with
F19 and CentOS 6.4. In both cases, engine complained of:
java.io.IOException: Unexpected connection termination

I tried installing an 3.3.1 AIO on CentOS 6.4 but hit a dependency
issue:

Error: Package: vdsm-4.13.0-2.gitbae164c.el6.x86_64 (ovirt-beta)
   Requires: selinux-policy-targeted = 3.7.19-213
   Installed: selinux-policy-targeted-3.7.19-195.el6_4.12.noarch
(@updates)

I did a clean install of a non-AIO engine on CentOS 6.4, but wasn't able
to add a host due to the selinux issue  (w/ CentOS) and the Unexpected
connection termination (w/ F19).

So, so far, F19 AIO w/ no additional hosts is the only 3.3.1 config I've
managed to get working.

Bit of an update:

Adding a host to an F19 engine fails because of
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1021273 and you can work
around it with yum downgrade apache-sshd.

There's no problem adding a new host to a CentOS-based engine. On that
test, I simply forgot to install the ovirt-release package, which pulls
in tar, and the absence of tar is what caused the Unexpected connection
termination.

 Hi,
 I would like to propose to the community to join creating a group for testing
 oVirt
 releases and oVirt bug fixes. I suggest to create a ovirt-qe mailing list and
 set
 that as default QE assignee for oVirt bugs.
 The list may be used for coordinating testing efforts, to be notified about
 new ovirt bugs,
 to plan test days, propose test cases, discussing about jenkins jobs
 implementation and so on.
 Forming just a small group of people testing milestones release will also
 help in having better release testing.
 What do you think about this?
 

+1 I'd be into it. 

I've been daydreaming about all sorts of automated tests:

* oVirt stable + fedora updates
* oVirt stable + fedora updates testing
* oVirt nightly
* oVirt nightly + fedora updates testing
* etc. 

The quickstart case -- an AIO install -- should *always* work. If a user
gives oVirt a shot once and gets hung up on some little issue, who knows
if they'll ever try again?

 Hi All --
 
 I'm finding myself sometimes in need of hacking at the oVirt DB -- has
 anyone written a wiki page or something about this?

For posterity, what I was missing was:

su - postgres

psql engine

And then hack away. I've had to do a bunch of manual unlocking to allow me
to remove VMs following failed snapshot operations.

 I was planning on making a Gluster Data domain to test, and found some great
 information on this page:
 http://community.redhat.com/blog/2014/05/ovirt-3-4-glusterized/
 The article the author uses the CTDB service for VIP failover.  Is it
 possible/recommended to not do this, and just create a gluster volume on all
 the hosts in a cluster, then create the Gluster data domain as
 localhost:gluster_vol?

I think that should work -- the vip is important for nfs, and since the hosted
engine requires nfs, I just use the vip for the gluster mount as well.

For 3.6, I believe gluster will be an option for the hosted engine, and so
ctdb will probably not be necessary.

 I am in the process of adding two more nodes to my hosted-engine setup using
 localhost as the mount point, I will report how it goes.
 
 I guess it would really be dependent on how the system was setup. Each node
 would have to be exactly the same to expect good results.
 
 My major issue with ctdb is SELINUX, I cannot get it to run correctly and
 work with SELINUX enabled. I would define that as a major security hole on a
 hypervisor, but I'm sure I am just doing it wrong.

Yeah, in my howto I'm using the meta volume that ctdb uses for its lock 
file to also store the config files for ctdb, and that's what selinux 
doesn't like. It's not really necessary, though, the configs could just
be copied into the default locations on each node -- I think that would
resolve the selinux issue.

 Subject: [ovirt-users] New user intro  some questions
 
 Hello oVirt Users Community,
 
 I've been working with Red Hat and RHEL and clones for about 11 years,
 though I do still consider myself amateur mostly because I'm more of a
 networking guy. :) One-man IT department so I get very little time to
 tinker.
 
 I'm evaluating oVirt (because the boss said no to VMware) and will
 likely begin implementation soon to virtualize our datacenter. So I have
 a SuperMicro Twin2 (4 nodes) system and a cheap managed L2+ switch to
 use for now. Dual 6-core Xeon's and 24GB per node. The two on-board
 82574L's are bonded 802.3ad, no issues there (so far). I currently have
 two 1TB WD RE4 SATA drives configured as RAID1 using the Intel RAID BIOS
 in each node. I understand this is software RAID. That's all working
 fine and I did this so that if a drive dies then I can still boot the
 machine(s). I have a 500MB partition formatted as ext4 for /boot. A 48GB
 ext4 for the root. 24GB for swap. And finally the rest (800-something
 GB) is LVM and XFS for Gluster.
 
 I've been following Jason Brooks' Up and Running with oVirt guides
 (which are great, BTW!). I have the cluster up and running with CentOS 7
 and oVirt 3.5, hosted-engine on CentOS 6.6 and CTDB to host a virtual IP
 for the engine NFS mount. There are a couple test VMs running along with
 the engine on various nodes. I found it interesting that I was able to
 upload a ripped ISO of Win 2k3 Enterprise (not SP2) and was able to
 successfully boot it, after which I promptly installed SP2 and oVirt
 guest tools. I do very little with Windows, but there's always that one
 remaining customer that needs IIS and we're not about to buy a new
 Windows Server 2012 license just for them.
 
 So anyway, I'm having a problem with node reboots. They simply will not
 shut down and reboot cleanly. Instead, it looks like they hang after all
 processes are shut down, or at least attempted to be shut down. Then
 after a couple minutes, the hardware watchdog resets the system. I've
 came to the conclusion that sanlock and/or wdmd is causing the hangup.
 I'm guessing an active but non-responsive NFS mount is the culprit,
 possibly the ISO domain NFS mount which is on the engine? I've tried
 manually shutting down all oVirt, VDSM, etc. processes, unmounting all
 NFS shares, but it seems sanlock still has a hold on something in
 /rhev/.. I've Google'd a bit and have come across posts about this as
 well. Any tips here?

Hi George --

I typically host my ISO domain from gluster as well, rather than from
the NFS export the installer offers to set up.

I've been able to force sanlock to release with:

sanlock shutdown -f 1


 
 Then I experienced something else odd yesterday. I did a yum update for
 the glibc vulnerability stuff. Gluster was updated as well which really
 threw a wrench into things because I wasn't paying attention and quorum
 broke, etc. I got that fixed. Rebooted all nodes (which is when I found
 the sanlock/watchdog problem). Nodes 2, 3 and 4 came back up, but node1
 did not. I logged into the IPKVM console and found that it had no
 network configuration. All /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-* files
 were gone. I was able to manually reconfigure the physical interfaces,
 set the bonding back up and add the ovirtmgmt bridge. But then the
 engine reported the host as non-operational due to '..does not comply
 with cluster default networks... ovirtmgmt missing' which I was able to
 resolve by reconfiguring the host's network config within the engine GUI
 and all is now well. I'm just curious how/why the ifcfg files were wiped
 out? I haven't touched the network config on any hosts since running
 hosted-engine --deploy.

VDSM now attempts to restore the networks as configured in the engine. I 
found that I had to have all my network configs setup in the engine, as 
well as in the ifcfgs for these networks to persist. There's a place where
you can disable this functionality, as well, I don't recall where that is
off hand though. 


Regards, Jason


 
 Please forgive my ignorance and point me to the correct place if these
 issues have been discussed and/or resolved already.
 
 And overall I'm very much liking oVirt, especially as a viable and
 cost-effective alternative to vSphere.
 
 Thanks,
 George

 So I wiped my test cluster. Changed some partitioning, network topology,
 etc. My plan is to run the ISO domain on a gluster volume this time also.
 
 Here's where I'm at. Gluster volume 'engine' is created and started on
 node1. The other three nodes have no volumes yet. In fact, no gluster
 peering yet.
 
 The engine is installed and running on node1 with gluster's NFS serving
 the engine volume. I then ran hosted-engine --deploy on the other three
 nodes. All four nodes are reported 'up' in the engine UI.
 
 Now I'm stuck. The problem I ran into last time, after enabling the
 gluster service on the Default cluster, the gluster peers were already
 established which put a roadblock in front of importing the gluster hosts.
 
 Like last time, the Default cluster says: Some new hosts are detected
 in the cluster. You can Import them to engine or Detach them from the
 cluster. And if I click the import URL, the only host I see in the list
 is the first one. Last time, all four were there, but as I said, the
 gluster peers were already established and the import failed due to
 failed to probe or something like that.

I just tried to recreate this, on a single host, running CentOS 6, 
hosting the engine through hosted-engine, and serving up its own
gluster storage. I enabled gluster in the cluster, and when I tried
to import the host, it wanted to use the default libvirtd 192.168.122.1 
ip address for the host. 

I canceled out of that and just restarted the vdsm service on my machine,
and after the service restarted, my data and engine volumes were there
in the web admin ui as expected.

So, try restarting vdsm.

Jason


 
 Is there a way to make this work? I'm fairly confused at this point. I
 would like to be able to manage at least my virt store gluster volume(s)
 from the engine UI.

 Scott,
 
 I'm sure you are completely correct. I do not want to run oVirt this
 way. I would very much prefer a dedicated machine for the engine,
 dedicated KVM nodes and dedicated storage/gluster nodes, or a real SAN.
 But this is the you get this and make it work that I get from upper
 management. So I'm going to continue testing 3.5.1 this way, and when
 it's too much load / performance sucks, then I can say, I told you so.
 
 I was reading through the planned features for 3.6 which says storage on
 the virt nodes will be supported. Again, I understand this is not
 optimal, but if I have to tell them this needs to wait for 3.6 to be
 released for this configuration to be supported, then so be it. And if
 performance still sucks, which I don't doubt, then... I told them so.

The meaning of support is important here -- support from whom? It's 
true that there's no gluster+virt SKU of the RHEV downstream project.
All configurations of ovirt proper are self-supported, or community-
supported, and what we choose to support is up to us individuals.

However, gluster + virt on the same nodes does work -- even w/ management
through the engine. I do use gluster on my virt nodes, but I don't manage
them w/ the engine, because, afaik, there isn't a way to have gluster and 
virt on separate networks this way, so I just manage gluster from the
gluster cli.

It's true, oVirt is happiest w/ separate machines for everything, and
a rock-solid san of some sort, etc., but that's not the only way, and 
as you point out, hardware isn't free.

Jason

 
 Anyway.. I was playing around today, and I'm not sure how or why, but
 the engine UI now shows the gluster volume stuff.. on the combined virt
 + gluster nodes.

 Thanks Aharon,
 
 After a couple of hours, the chown 36:36 did the trick, now I have the domain

This is a good way to set those perms and make them stick:

gluster volume set $yourvol storage.owner-uid 36
gluster volume set $yourvol storage.owner-gid 36

 Hi
 
 First, You need to create gluster volume. Do not forget to start the volume.
 then the chown 36:36 volume directory name
 
 now you need to create new glusterfs domain, and to point to the gluster

 Subject: [ovirt-users] Glusterfs storage
 
 Hi,
 
 I have setup up 2 hosts, host1 with hosted engine, and on host 2, since I
 have a spare disk, I want to setup a glusterfs domain storage.
 I'm using Centos7 and ovirt 3.5.1.
 The 2 hosts and hosted engine are up and running.
 How can I configure the glusterfs storage?
 I installed glusterfs server on host2:
 glusterfs-api-3.6.2-1.el7.x86_64
 glusterfs-fuse-3.6.2-1.el7.x86_64
 glusterfs-libs-3.6.2-1.el7.x86_64

 glusterfs-server-3.6.2-1.el7.x86_64
 glusterfs-cli-3.6.2-1.el7.x86_64
 
 
 Do I need first configure a Volume with a brick? I tried that but no success.
 Also tried to ad a Data domains of type glusterfs but no success.
 What am I missing?

I think that using localhost on each node will lead to split-brain.
With the backup volfile setting taking care of failover, I don't think
mounting at localhost buys you anything, anyway. Gluster already
handles spreading out the load among the hosts on its own, when you're
using the native gluster mounts (vs nfs, where you are accessing
through the specified mount point).

On debian testing, I managed to build and install using ./configure
--with-otopi-sources=/root/otopi (this is where I'd checked out and
built otopi)

I got this error running ovirt-host-deploy:

You need to add a data domain, and after you do that, the hosted

You need sudo yum install -y vdsm-hook-nestedvt  vdsm-hook-macspoof

For the macspoof bit, you apply it a bit differently, you need to
create a vNIC profile w/o the vdsm-no-mac-spoofing filter removed, and
use that profile w/ your VM's nic.

However, this is for testing ovirt under ovirt -- if you're running
ovirt VMs under something like virt-manager, this one is more

Re: [ovirt-users] non-operational host issues following 4.2 upgrade

[Jason Brooks]

I was able to get my hosts active. During the upgrade, by master data
domain's metadata was corrupted -- I had duplicates of some of the
dom_md files, and my metadata file was corrupt. Vdsm was looking at
that metadata file and throwing up its hands. I added a new data
domain but it couldn't take over as master because my old data domain
was messed up. I ended up creating a new metadata file in that domain,
and my hosts came up. I might be nice to have some way of resetting
corrupt metadata or at least of making the error clearer.

I did have a gluster hiccup during the upgrade -- the upgrade brought
my gluster version from 3.8 to 3.12, and the other peers in the
cluster refused connections from my first upgraded host. I upgraded
all the others, and got them all talking to each other again, but it
may have been during that time that my master data domain metadata
became corrupted. I haven't noticed any issues w/ my vms yet, and all
through the migration travail, I was able to keep 5 important VMs
running. They kept chugging away, even though their host and
surrounding hosts were unhealthy.

Anyway, I'm back ;)

[ovirt-users] non-operational host issues following 4.2 upgrade

[Jason Brooks]

Hi all, I upgraded my 4 host converged gluster/ovirt lab setup to 4.2
yesterday, and now 3 of my hosts won't connect to my main data domain,
so they're non-operational when I try to activate them.

Here's what seems like a relevant passage of vdsm.log:
https://paste.fedoraproject.org/paste/JZuxul6-HZjjl8uHzgqL-w

The hosts can mount the gluster storage just fine, I can mount to a
test location on the hosts, and I can see that the hosts are mounting
the storage in the usual place when they attempt to activate.
Permissions look normal, too.

I undeployed the hosted engine from the three problem machines, in
case that was causing an issue.

The hosts are running centos 7.

Does any of this ring a bell for anyone?

[ovirt-users] possibly corrupted disk during 4.3 upgrade

[Jason Brooks]

I have a ovirt+gluster cluster that I've been running for a while now
-- across several versions of oVirt. I was upgrading to 4.3 today, and
am halfway through the upgrade. I've upgraded two of my four hosts to
4.3, as well as the engine, but the hosted-ha agents aren't running on
my new hosts.

Also, one of my two upgraded hosts won't connect to one of my domains
-- I'm not sure whether that's the master data domain or the hosted
engine domain.

The *main* thing I'm concerned about, though, is that the disk for one
of my large VMs appears to have been truncated -- it's virtual size is
300GB, I think the actual size was probably just under half of that,
but it's actual size is now reported to be less than a gig, and it's
taking up only 300MB of space. I'm afraid the answer is no, but I'm
hoping that the data might be recoverable from somewhere on the
bricks...

Any thoughts?
