Excellent! Many thanks. I was looking at cloud-init but haven't had the
study time to really dig into it. Your method makes perfect sense to me. I
never considered using the first boot process. That really is the key.
Many thanks!!

[ovirt-users] templates and freeipa

2014-10-31 Thread Jim Kinney 
Ovirt 3.5 is running well for me and I have freeIPA controlling access to
the user portal. I would like to provide templates of various linux setups
that all have freeipa for user authentication in the VM for my developers
to be able to create a new VM from and then log in using their freeIPA
access and sudo control. I'm wanting to group developers by project and use
freeIPA to set sudo commands as needed (group A get oracle, group B get
postgresql, etc). Wanting to maximize developer ability while minimizing my
clean up time :-) They will be able to delete VMs they create.

It's possible to do a kickstart deploy with freeIPA registration but a
template from that will be a problem as it will have the same keys for all
VMs.

Is there a post-creation scripting process I can attach to in ovirt or
should I look at a default root user  and script that personalizes the new
VM?

Re: [ovirt-users] oVirt 3.4 + Ipa Server

2014-10-13 Thread Jim Kinney 
I have the latest 3.4 version and it works with FreeIPA. An earlier version
did not properly populate the users sections for adding users to Ovirt.
When I rebuilt with the latest 3.4 version, I did NOT join the Ovirt host
to the domain using ipa-join tools. I only joined it using the
engine-manage-domain tools.

Re: [ovirt-users] no console connections

2014-09-12 Thread Jim Kinney 
solved.

Not an ovirt issue at all. My network has dual ports, one internal LAN the
other is on switches not managed by me. Someone had disabled the port that
was used by the host I was trying to connect to.



It's all good now. Getting some dev users setup to launch their own VMs for
crash-n-burn tests. Looking forward to 3.5!

[ovirt-users] no console connections

2014-09-10 Thread Jim Kinney 
Hi,

I have a fresh install of 3.4 on centOS 6.5 with a centOS 6.5-based host
(not an all-in-one).

When trying to do a first test install of CentOS 7 (or 6.5 or RHEL or...) I
can't get a spice console screen to connect. The error message is "Can't
connect to graphics server (null)".

I doubt it's an issue on my desktop as I have another ovirt 3.4 install
that I can connect to from my desktop. This is a new one that will take
over from an all-in-one test system.

All the server system have proper DNS entries and can be reached directly
from my desktop. Could this be related to the websocket proxy server? I
get  the same results with the proxy off or on (it's not configured beyond
basic install from engine-setup).

Re: [Users] oVirt and IPA

2013-11-06 Thread Jim Kinney 
Be sure to have a mirror IPA server _NOT_on the same ovirt host AND you
need to be using at least 2 DNS servers AND they both must be able to point
kerberos lookups to all IPA servers. I have my main IPA server as a vm and
a secondary on a physical system I run backups from.

[Users] upgrade bug(?) 3.1->3.3

2013-10-07 Thread Jim Kinney 
I just upgraded from engine 3.1 to 3.3 on my standalone centos 6.4 system.
The 3.3 engine-setup apparently did NOT include the requisite iptables
lines for port opening for the spice to function.

I did a yum update for the ovirt-engine-setup to get the latest tool. Then
I ran engine-setup to let the process upgrade as required.

I added the missing ports from a second system I've not yet upgraded and
all is well. Just though someone might want to look at a possible issue.

I have setenforce=0 with same result.
So the 5eb89069-b750-4d32-b7d3-432fd77202d1 is a valid ovirt domain number
for the entire process in exports. The 1e43cdf3-bf3b-4f28-a755-b5fb8a67543b
was the name of the dir created from the virt-v2v process.

The ovirt import gui provides this error:
Error while executing action: Cannot import VM. VM's Image does not exist.

I've tried with a qcow2 image, a raw image, vmdk (fails with unsupported
format error).

[Users] virt-v2v import needs saslauth credentials

2013-08-12 Thread Jim Kinney 
I need to convert a vmdk to ovirt use. I have a qcow2 formatted image and
it's corresponding xml. I'm trying to run virt-v2v to put things into the
proper formats/places for ovirt but I need to use my proper credentials to
access the qemu:///system space.

Where/how do I do this? man pages have no suggestions on virt-v2v. I have a
user/passwd combo in saslauth that works for virsh.

virt-v2v -i libvirtxml -o libvirt -os export --vmtype server -n ovirtmgmt
/var/lib/exports/exports/5eb89069-b750-4d32-b7d3-432fd77202d1/images/test/test.xml

Re: [Users] 3.2.2 allinone install fails on CentOS 6.4

2013-07-18 Thread Jim Kinney 
Woo!

Found the problem (I think). ipa-server was also installed on the same
system. When ovirt ran, it detected this and suggested using ports 8700 and
8701 which I used. Apparently jboss uses those ports? I removed ipa-server
and had options to configure new ports for engine to use. I put in 8700 and
8701 but the installer said "NO!" and noted that jboss was already claiming
those ports.

So I'm in but there was a cert problem. The SHA1 fingerprint reported by
the engine-setup was NOT the one presented by the self-signed security cert
on login.

Will do. Suggested version? I can't tell from ovirt site which engine has
apache integrated. Or am I looking for jboss-as integrated with apache?

[Users] 3.2.2 allinone install fails on CentOS 6.4

2013-07-17 Thread Jim Kinney 
I'm tying to install $STABLE (3.2.2) on CentOS 6.4 . I have the repo for
the el6 from ovirt.

Before the engine-setup --with-allinone=yes can complete it errors out with
the following in the setup log:

After much digging, it seems like the issue is in the certs but it's not
making sense to me why it fails. From the server.log:

The error indicates the 'file' command is not found.

rpm -qa | grep file

On my 6.4 install, I have file-5.04-15.el6.x86_64

Re: [Users] [Best practice] NFS export domain served by oVirt manager?

2013-02-15 Thread Jim Kinney 
I set up my exports domain on a host node since it had space and the export
process will be rarely used in my case. Since your use will also be seldom,
the only consideration is bandwidth and space. NFS can easily run on the
engine machine as the default ISO domain indicates. One more share will
make little difference in that system's performance.

Re: [Users] Problem with Win 7 VM creation

2013-02-07 Thread Jim Kinney 
I have a iso image of the drivers in my iso storage. Just change CD and use
the driver CD. Be sure to change it back to be the install Cd. The win7
error will look something like "Can't install on that disk" and it looks
like it means the virtual hard drive after the driver installs and it sees
the drive. It really means "I don't have the install Cd anymore to install
from".

This repeats every few seconds.

None of the vmhosts have the usual vdsm running profiles. They all have:

progress. Restored pki files from backup. Still had to reset AdminPassword.
Able to login to the gui. All hosts are "unresponsive". The SPM host is
just totally locked (but fine from it's console - idle).

Tried to reinstall one of the hosts and got a new error message:

Error:

vmhost5:

The pki folder is likely to be a problem but the backups folder is
populated. Is there a way to remove client certs from hosts to restore
access with a host add process?

Re: [Users] error using cli on ovirt 3.1

2013-02-06 Thread Jim Kinney 
as things stand now:

I manually reinstalled 3.1, then dropped the engine database and restored
from the backup. There were some errors at the end. Even though I used all
the same passwords, the admin@internal account was not working. Used
engine-config -s LocalAdminPassword='*' to fix. On log in, everything
is down, offline, unreachable. No hosts can be contacted. No storage is
connected. Can't add a new host.

crud.

I copied the database backup and removed all the db creation part leaving
just the data "copy into..." section (that was fun). Ran engine-cleanup
then engine-setup then tried to restore just the data.

no joy there either.

The system is CentOS 6.3 as are the hosts. This ran wonderfully until I
goofed trying to get the cli and sdk updated. Without the database working,
I have no way to know what vm is what in the ISCSI LVM storage system to
even export to another platform.

So I'm assuming my next step is panic (or total reinstall from bare iron?).
I'm setting this up at work and today is my last day as I'm moving to a new
job at a totally different organization. I'd hate to walk out and lose all
the windows VMs and templates that were built over the last 2 months.

added 3.2 lines to dre ovirt yum repo (and disabled 3.1 - probably not
good) and did engine-upgrade.

Process choked at opening the CA cert and proceeded to "rollback". Didn't
actually roll back as 3.1 repo was disabled.

System still has 3.2 installed. Did yum update to pull in the cli/sdk 3.2
(wish I had done that first!).

[Users] error using cli on ovirt 3.1

2013-02-04 Thread Jim Kinney 
I'm trying to setup a way to restart a large group of windows vms on a
schedule. I'm getting a connection failure that seems related to the use of
https but I'm not sure.

error: __init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'source_address'

I ran:
ovirt-shell -A  -c

and my .ovirtshellrc is:

[ovirt-shell]
username = "admin@internal"
url = https://my.internal.url/api
#insecure = False
#filter = False
#timeout = -1
password = **


I tried putting the ca_cert =  but that clearly was not
allowed in .ovirtshellrc

ideas?

[Users] mark VM to start on boot

2013-01-18 Thread Jim Kinney 
How do I mark a VM to startup if a node fails?

2 hosts in cluster, windows domain controller on one host, backup on second
host. Both are marked high priority.
"Bad Things" happen and both hosts get rebooted. I want those domain
controllers to automatically restart.

I'm assuming the failure of the hosts did not knock down the manager. (I
have them on separate floors, power, etc).

[Users] hypervisor install fails to detect proper CPU type

2013-01-14 Thread Jim Kinney 
I installed the F17 version of the hypervisor and was unable to join the
new node to the cluster. The failure was "wrong CPU type for cluster". The
system has an Intel Xeon x5660 CPU (Westmere family). There is another
system of the same class in the same cluster NOT using the hypervisor
(using a CentOS 6.3 install with dre-repo).

I reinstalled the failing system with CentOS and all is well now joining
the system to the cluster.

Re: [Users] What do you want to see in oVirt next?

2013-01-14 Thread Jim Kinney 
I would also like to see the ability to share template storage across all
datacenters seamlessly.

Sharing the templates between multiple datacenters would extremely useful
especially as long as the stand-alone hosts are in their own datacenter.

[Users] web gui and bonded nic changes

2012-12-13 Thread Jim Kinney 
I hit a snag last night. I needed to remove a nic from a host bond in
ovirtmanage to create a new bridge line for user access to VMs. The process
hung the box and I had to go put hands on the physical console (more reason
to get the ipmi network setup!). The error message was "can't add eth3 to
bond. already bonded" (or close). It seems the only way to remove a nic
from a bond is to unload the bonding module. Apparently the ovirt process
doesn't call a modprobe -r bonding during a network reset on the managed
hosts. stop network, unload bonding, start network worked fine from the
console.

Re: [Users] guest agent

2012-12-12 Thread Jim Kinney 
That was me, I think.

Where I work also has a partnership with RedHat so we have the RHEL agent
tools. I was planning to do a compile of the ovirt-released guest agent
tools but have not had the time so I fudged and used RedHat's :-)

The only difference is the RHEL version seems to also have a qxl (?) video
driver (carry-over from older rhev-manager I think). The rest is
python-based tools. There's a way to do a binary-only executable from the
python script that is the agent (multiple bits - agent (talks to OS and
virtIOserial), spice (talks to spice and OS) and spice-agent (talks through
agent to window manager, etc)) but I haven't had the time to work out the
build issues yet.

As of now, there's not an "official" ovirt-guest-agent package that I know
of either.

while all desktop types show the correct template (or at least a template
ID that's not "blank").


Usual process: from a blank template - install OS (windows/linux) from iso.
Save that vm as _raw template once agent tools loaded (no OS patches
applied). Use the _raw template to build a new VM which gets all
current patches. Save that as a new template.

so far, no VM shows a heritage other than "blank" if it was built with a
preallocated drive space from a template other than blank.

Re: [Users] template source always "Blank"

That _is_ what I did!

Hmm. Makes it an external process to track VM lineage without that data.

So use the thin-provision only to allow this tracking. And this works with
windows VMs? will test shortly.

[Users] mislabelled template source

2012-12-09 Thread Jim Kinney 
Greetings,

I've built several new templates from the blank template and a ISO install
of various OS's. However, when I built a new VM using the new template(s),
the new VM still says it's based from the blank template. I expected it to
say it was from the "template-foo" U specified. The VM is correctly built
from the template so I think it's a generation/database issue.
