[ovirt-users] VM CPU Topology
Hello, We are currently running oVirt 4.3.10 Our oVirt hypervisors (HV) have 2 cpu sockets * 6 cores * HT = 24 vcpu Our VMs (centos7) range globally from 2vcpu to 8vcpu oVirt allows to configure - per VM - the following 3 advanced parameters : virtual_sockets : cores_per_virtual_socket : threads_per_core We make sure that threads per core is always 1 (so no question there) But, for the other 2 parameters, we are unsure of the correct configuration, and if there is a performance penalty on bad configuration. Let's consider a 4vcpu VM 1- Is there a performance difference betwenn 1:4:1 and 4:1:1 configuration ? 2- When should we opt for one or another configuration ? 2- Our VMs total CPU provisionning sum is twice the hypervisors capacity, but they are mostly idle so it is not an issue, but can this influence configuration choice above ? Thank you for any information that can enlighthen us, since we are worried that we are suffering from bad performance due to naive cpu configuration choices. ___ Users mailing list -- users@ovirt.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@ovirt.org Privacy Statement: https://www.ovirt.org/privacy-policy.html oVirt Code of Conduct: https://www.ovirt.org/community/about/community-guidelines/ List Archives: https://lists.ovirt.org/archives/list/users@ovirt.org/message/K67VVLVTQMI7MJBZ7KO6SHDMFHWLMUVF/

Re: [ovirt-users] Recovering hosted-engine
Hi andrew, This is my personal experience on recovery. Yes you can recover the hosted-engine from a backup (almost every action you did on on oVirt after backup will have to be manually reproduced) This can be tricky depending on your conditions (and there are some subtleties which can have significant impact later on) - Do you have still SSH access to engine ? - If so, do you trust engine VM OS, or should you reinstall it ? If both questions are positive, then you just need to do a engine restore as explained here : http://www.ovirt.org/documentation/admin-guide/chap-Backups_and_Migration/ cordialement, regards, Nelson LAMEIRAS Ingénieur Systèmes et Réseaux / Systems and Networks engineer Tel: +33 5 32 09 09 70 nelson.lamei...@lyra-network.com www.lyra-network.com | www.payzen.eu Lyra Network, 109 rue de l'innovation, 31670 Labège, FRANCE - Original Message - From: "Andrew Dent" To: "Yedidyah Bar David" , "users" Sent: Monday, July 3, 2017 3:40:38 PM Subject: Re: [ovirt-users] Recovering hosted-engine Hi Didi Fair enough.

[ovirt-users] problem while updating oVirt from 3.6 to 4.0
Hello, Not sure if I should post here, or on the dev mailling list. I had a serious problem when upgrading an oVirt cluster from 3.6 to 4.0 (before updating to 4.1) The error on engine-setup log was : "schema.sh: FATAL: Cannot execute sql command: --file=/usr/share/ovirt-engine/dbscripts/upgrade/04_00_0930_disallow_boot_protocol_to_be_null.sql" After long hours of debuguing and analysing I found out the problem. On database, some entries on table network_attachements had a NULL value which were incompatible with the sql file above. I'm guessing this is an "exotic situation" which shouldn't exist... in theory ;) Anyway, I'm fairly sure that the solution for this problem would be to patch the following file 'ovirt-engine/packaging/dbscripts/upgrade/04_00_0910_do_not_allow_null_boot_protocol.sql' by adding the following line " update network_attachments set boot_protocol = ' NONE ' where boot_protocol is null ;" If a dev want to discuss it further, I'll be happy to explain my thoughts on this matter. cordialement, regards, Nelson LAMEIRAS Ingénieur Systèmes et Réseaux / Systems and Networks engineer Tel: +33 5 32 09 09 70 nelson.lamei...@lyra-network.com www.lyra-network.com | www.payzen.eu Lyra Network, 109 rue de l'innovation, 31670 Labège, FRANCE ___ Users mailing list Users@ovirt.org http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users

[ovirt-users] change Memory Ballooning setting
Hello oVirt gurus, When activating/deactivating memory balloning on VM, this will change /usr/libexec/qemu-kvm command line on host on vm startup (you can see it using "ps aux"). So I understand a vm reboot is needed to take this change into account. But when activating/deactivating memory balloning on Cluster (plus MoM Sync on host) I do not really understand what happens "under the hood" - Is there a mechanism on host which controls "memory balloning" globally? - Is it able to change it's behaviour "on the fly" with "MoM Sync" ? If you have any information, it would be greatly appreciated cordialement, regards, Nelson LAMEIRAS Ingénieur Systèmes et Réseaux / Systems and Networks engineer Tel: +33 5 32 09 09 70 nelson.lamei...@lyra-network.com www.lyra-network.com | www.payzen.eu Lyra Network, 109 rue de l'innovation, 31670 Labège, FRANCE ___ Users mailing list Users@ovirt.org http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users

Hello,
Since "upgrade" functionality is available for hosts in oVirt GUI I have this
strange bug :
- Click on "Installation>>Upgrade"
- Click "ok" on confirmation screen
- -> (bug) confirmation screen does not dissapear as expected
- Click "ok" again on confirmation screen -> error : "system is already
upgrading"
- Click "cancel" to be able to return to oVirt
This happens using on :
ovirt engine : oVirt Engine Version: 4.1.1.6-1.el7.centos

Hi Nelson,
Once you click on 'OK' you will need to wait for few seconds (before the
confirmation disappears) then you can see that upgrade starts. In the previous
versions once user clicks on 'OK' confirmation screen usually disappears
immediately.

[ovirt-users] How to be sure to propagate Cluster's configuration
Hello oVirt gurus,
Memory ballioning was creating more problems than solving in our cluster so we
decided to deactivate it.
- Is changing this setting immediatly taken into account ?
- Do I need to reactivate hosts?
- Do I need to reboot vms?
Same questions for settings " KSM control ", Migration Policy and Scheduling
Policy.

Re: [ovirt-users] massive simultaneous vms migrations ?
hello pavel,
Thanks for you answer.
I did find this parameter (only) in /etc/vdsm/vdsm.conf.rpmnew (??)
Parameter is commented with value 2 so my guess is that it is not used... So
this brings a few more questions :
- Since parameter is commented, default value must be used... can we be sure
that 2 is default value?
I do found strange that migrations are limited to 2, I have the feeling that
more than two are simultaneously being migrated (but I'm maybe wrong), how to
be sure?

Re: [ovirt-users] vm "maximum memory" setting questions
Hello michal, Thanks for your answers. If others have same questions, I did found this information below on oVirt web site (http://www.ovirt.org/develop/release-management/features/engine/maximum-memory-size/) Note on size of maximum memory If memory hot-plug is not required, max memory can be set to be the same as VM memory. Suggested value is 4x size of VM memory. Larger max memory is discouraged because: * I can make QEMU process to start for longer time. * If hot plugged memory is also required to be hot unpluggable, it needs to be considered as movable by the guest kernel. Kernel requires the amount of movable memory to be at most 4x larger that non-movable memory for stable run. * On PowerPC platform continuous block of non-movable memory of size 1/64 of the max memory needs to be allocated for each VM. cordialement, regards, Nelson LAMEIRAS Ingénieur Systèmes et Réseaux / Systems and Networks engineer Tel: +33 5 32 09 09 70 nelson.lamei...@lyra-network.com www.lyra-network.com | www.payzen.eu Lyra Network, 109 rue de l'innovation, 31670 Labège, FRANCE From: "Michal Skrivanek" To: "Nelson Lameiras" Cc: "ovirt users" Sent: Tuesday, April 18, 2017 11:55:46 AM Subject: Re: [ovirt-users] vm "maximum memory" setting questions On 18 Apr 2017, at 11:46, Nelson Lameiras < nelson.lamei...@lyra-network.com > wrote: Hello, A new vm setting "maximum memory" has appeared in oVirt >4 which by default has the value "current memory”*4 In 4.1 BQ_BEGIN - Why is "maximum memory" setting necessary to set?

[ovirt-users] ovirt upgrade => vms refusing to (re)boot
Hello, We had a rather unpleseant surprise while upgrading our production datacenters to oVirt 4.0 => 4.1 (although I think this problem is not related to oVirt 4.1). Some critical VMs simply refused to reboot without any particular error message other than "VM failed to boot" After a stressfull 2h of investigation, it turns out that the problematic VMs shared the same "exotic" condition. They were not rebooted since the latest major upgrade 3.6 => 4.0 (I know, this is not a good practise and we underestimated it's priority, we will change our reboot policies) Their "custom compatilibity setting" was set to 3.6 !! When changing this setting to "Empty", The VM booted normaly. Hard to find, easy to fix !! ;) Neverthess, there is little to none information/documentation about the usefullness of this setting, and I have a hard time understanding the consequences of changing it manually. Our oVirt datacenter (which has engine 4.1.1, but some hosts on 4.0, so it's still on 4.0 compatibility) hosts currently +- 200 Vms, - 10 with "custom compatilibity setting" set to 3.6 - which will not (reb)boot in current state, - 30some with "custom compatilibity setting" set to 4.0 - which (re)boot normally - the rest with "custom compatilibity setting" set to "empty" - which (re)boot normally So can a oVirt guru please answer the following questions : - What does this setting do? which are the consequences of changing it manually ? - Is it "normal" that a VM not reboooted since the 3.6 update does not boot if a new major upgrade is done on hostig host ? (maybe a exotic bug worth correcting ?) - Which are the possible consequences of manually setting this setting to "Empty" in all my VMs (running or stopped) ? - Which events will change this setting automatically ? (cluster major version upgrade, first reboot after upgrade, ...) ? - Some of my VMs have custom_compatibility_version set to 4.0 (in REST API) eventough they have been recently rebooted and "custom compatilibity setting" is empty in GUI, who's this possible ? cordialement, regards, Nelson LAMEIRAS Ingénieur Systèmes et Réseaux / Systems and Networks engineer Tel: +33 5 32 09 09 70 nelson.lamei...@lyra-network.com www.lyra-network.com | www.payzen.eu Lyra Network, 109 rue de l'innovation, 31670 Labège, FRANCE ___ Users mailing list Users@ovirt.org http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users
Re: [ovirt-users] engine upgrade 4.0 => 4.1, no more engine console available
It seems that there are at least 3 independant persons having this issue...
Would it be possible to have a "official" response from redhat ?
Is it normal that there is no more console (SPICE) on engine vm after upgrade
to 4.1? Should I open a bug?

Re: [ovirt-users] engine upgrade 4.1.0 => 4.1.1, no more engine console available
ok, I'm guessing that your situation is different to mine.
I'm hopping someone confirms that upgrading oVirt engine from 4.0 to 4.1 does
(or does not) indeed disable SPICE console on Engine VM ?

Hello, I'm trying to upgrade our ovirt-engine from 4.0 (centos manually installed) to 4.1.0 (appliance) using "hosted-engine --upgrade-appliance". Our test setup : 2 hosts with centos 7.3 with ovirt4.0 (latest updates) 1 ovirt-engine 4.0 (latest update) This method uses a manual backup from current engine and injects it to new appliance. Since "old" ovirt-engine is a manually installed 4.0 (latest version) as opposed to an appliance, upgrade process warns that it doesn't recognise the current engine with a somewhat deprecated message : [WARNING] Unable to detect engine version [WARNING] Unsupported upgrade path This procedure has been designed and tested only for upgrading the engine VM from ['3.6'] to ['4.0']. Any other usage is highly experimental and potentially dangerous: Current engine: unknown Selected appliance: 4.1-20170201.1.el7.centos Do you want to abort the upgrade process?

Re: [ovirt-users] best way to remove SAN lun
Hello Nir, I think I was not clear in my explanations, let me try again : we have a oVirt 4.0.5.5 cluster with multiple hosts (centos 7.2). In this cluster, we added a SAN volume (iscsi) a few months ago directly in GUI Later we had to remove a DATA volume (SAN iscsi). Below the steps we have taken : 1- we migrated all disks outside the volume (oVirt) 2- we put volume on maintenance (oVirt) 3- we detach volume (oVirt) 4- we removed/destroyed volume (oVirt) In SAN : 5- we put it offline on SAN 6- we delete it from SAN We thought this would be enough, but later we has a serious incident when log partition went full (partially our fault) : /var/log/messages was continuously logging that it was still trying to reach the SAN volumes (we have since taken care of the issue of log space issue => more aggressive logrotate, etc) The real solution was to add two more steps, using shell in ALL hosts : 4a - logout from SAN : iscsiadm -m node --logout -T iqn. 4b - remove iscsi targets : rm -fr /var/lib/iscsi/nodes/iqn.X This effectively solved our problem, but was fastidious since we had to do it manually in all hosts (imagine if we had hundreds of hosts...) So my question was : shouldn't it be oVirt job to system "logout" and "remove iscsi targets" automatically when a volume is removed from oVirt ? maybe not, and I'm missing something? cordialement, regards, Nelson LAMEIRAS Ingénieur Systèmes et Réseaux / Systems and Networks engineer Tel: +33 5 32 09 09 70 nelson.lamei...@lyra-network.com www.lyra-network.com | www.payzen.eu Lyra Network, 109 rue de l'innovation, 31670 Labège, FRANCE - Original Message - From: "Nir Soffer" To: "Nelson Lameiras" Cc: "Gianluca Cecchi" , "Adam Litke" , "users" Sent: Wednesday, February 22, 2017 8:27:26 AM Subject: Re: [ovirt-users] best way to remove SAN lun On Wed, Feb 22, 2017 at 9:03 AM, Nelson Lameiras wrote: > Hello, > > Not sure it is the same issue, but we have had a "major" issue recently in > our production system when removing a ISCSI volume from oVirt, and then > removing it from SAN.

We have RFE for this here: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/1310330 But you must understand that ovirt does not control your storage server, you are responsible to add devices on the storage server, and remove them. We are only consuming the devices. Even we we provide a way to remove devices on all hosts, you will have to remove the device on the storage server before removing it from hosts. If not, ovirt will find the removed devices again in the next scsi rescan, and we do lot of these to support automatic discovery of new devices or resized devices.

Re: [ovirt-users] best way to remove SAN lun
Hello,
Not sure it is the same issue, but we have had a "major" issue recently in our
production system when removing a ISCSI volume from oVirt, and then removing it
from SAN. The issue being that each host was still trying to access regularly
to the SAN volume in spite of not being completely removed from oVirt. This led
to an massive increase of error logs, which filled completely /var/log
partition, which snowballed into crashing vdsm and other nasty consequences.
Anyway, the solution was to manually logout from SAN (in each host) with
iscsiadm and manually remove iscsi targets (again in each host). It was not
difficult once the problem was found because currently we only have 3 hosts in
this cluster, but I'm wondering what would happen if we had hundreds of hosts ?
Maybe I'm being naive but shouldn't this be "oVirt job" ? Is there a RFE still
waiting to be included on this subject or should I write one ?

Re: [ovirt-users] VNC console extremely slow on windows 10
Yaniv, I've done some extensive investigation, and my conclusions so far bring some new light to this issue : As you have hinted, this is not a problem related to windows 10, as I was able to reproduce it with any laptop/system with windows 7 or 10. In fact, I do not find any evidence that VNC console works OK with any windows (maybe is our hardware?? => we use DELL). I'm not sure anymore it did work in the past... This is a problem related only with VNC consoles on virtual machines using windows client. SPICE works great under windows. VNC console works OK with remote viewer under centos. I found out something interesting : as I said, console is so slow that it bearebly useable (1 refresh every 10 seconds) but if I alt+tab twice (change focus off and on) it will refresh immediatly. This seems to me as a client issue... not a oVirt issue. So maybe I should take this issue with remote viewer team ? To answer your last question : "What oVirt installation needs VNC? " Indeed, oVirt hosted-engine installation needs a console and it proposes VNC and SPICE (vnc is default). SPICE console asks for a certificate configuration that I did not spent the necessary time to make it work as VNC works right out of the box (even if there is the refresh rate problem). any information or hint to find a solution would be appreciated. thanks cordialement, regards, Nelson LAMEIRAS Ingénieur Systèmes et Réseaux / Systems and Networks engineer Tel: +33 5 32 09 09 70 nelson.lamei...@lyra-network.com www.lyra-network.com | www.payzen.eu Lyra Network, 109 rue de l'innovation, 31670 Labège, FRANCE From: "Yaniv Kaul" To: "Nelson Lameiras" Cc: "Ovirt Users" Sent: Monday, February 13, 2017 7:21:36 PM Subject: Re: [ovirt-users] VNC console extremely slow on windows 10 On Mon, Feb 13, 2017 at 7:24 PM, Nelson Lameiras < nelson.lamei...@lyra-network.com > wrote: Hello, Since my company laptop has been migrated to from windows 7 to windows 10, launching a console on oVirt 4.0 (and 4.1) VMs which are configured with VNC graphics is extremely slow (around one refresh every 10 seconds).

Hello,

launching a console on oVirt 4.0 (and 4.1) VMs which are configured with VNC

perfectly.
This is specially annoying since oVirt engine installation console works only

[ovirt-users] ovirt 4.1.0 - sparsify ireversibly destroys preallocated disks
Hello, Not sure if it's a bug or a limitation but, while playing with oVirt 4.1 new possibilities, I tried to use the sparsity function on a preallocated disk, and this action irreversibly ruined the data on the disk. I have repeated this experiment multiple times and always same result. (Sparsifying a thin provisioned disk works great though) I understand that the "sparsify" function is relevant to thin provision disks only. Still I think there should be a warning before doing this action on a preallocated disk? or maybe even forbid this action on a preallocated disk since sparsify has no meaning on a preallocated disk?

Re: [ovirt-users] can't import vm from KVM host
Hello Shahar,
Actually, our production servers use pool storage (+block devices), so I
quickly tried to import from them and I have the same error : 0 disks
"declared" on each VM.
I tried the patch you advised last week, and eventhough it didn't work, clearly
the logs showed you are going in the right direction.
I'm available to try other patches on my test setup. Do not hesitate to ask me.

Hi,
yes once you have the alias you are half way there.
but your alias path looks wrong, it starts with white-space:
'/ var/lib/libvirt/images/rhel7.1.img'
check it via 'virsh -r dumpxml '
and look if the white space are there two
regarding the pool you can check it too via virsh
virsh pool-list
and all pool-* commands (to create one), if you have problems building pool
let me know.
Shahar.

FYI I added a normal disk (file based) to the VM ir order to try to understand

the "alias" line is clearly new since it did not appear before de patch!
something is working ;)
I confirm that when I created the test VM (via virt-manager), I gave directly
the path to the device (/dev/sdc), so there is no "pool" to be addressed
defined on libvirt!
I read https://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/c/64272/4/ and I agree with Tomas findings :
Currently the conversion process is expecting a volume on a pool and it's not

So I'm hopping a solution can be found to this problem. We have a few hundreds

is our only option so far.

I assume that this line is failing:
vol = conn.storageVolLookupByPath(disk['alias'])
it may be the reason that the storage is not part of a pool.
(look at pool-xxx commands via virsh)
If it doesn't work it may be related to a different API that we will need to
implement as Tomas suggested in the gerrit patch.

Re: [ovirt-users] can't import vm from KVM host
Hi Shahar, We try to prioritise vm behaviour predictability over ressources consumption, so "thin provisionning" is not a option for us. "Preallocated" is always selected over default behaviour. Nevertheless, while trying to import a KVM vm (from another host), I get a 0 disk count on the VM, which means I do not event get to the point where I can chose allocation policy (usually next screen).

Re: [ovirt-users] can't import vm from KVM host
hello michal,
Yes, both paths are correct and working on the source host since the VM starts
and works correctly on source host. Nevertheless I have checked with fdisk and
mount to assure that these devices are indeed reachable.
Please understand that my setup is the following:
source host : KVM (hosting the VM to migrate)
target host : oVirt 4.0.4 (patched)
The error "no storage vol with matching path '/dev/sdc'" is returned by the
target host script /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/vdsm/v2v.py.
This almost seems normal since the device /dev/sdc is not mounted on target
host (where script is running) but only on source host.
Can this be the source of the error ?
cordialement, regards,
Nelson LAMEIRAS

Hi, Shahar is out on vacation for few weeks
> can I do anything to help ?
hm...looking at the error, can you please confirm those paths
('/dev/mapper/vg_00-lv_sys’, /dev/sdc) are mounted/correct on the source host?
Seems like the patch works and adds those disks all right, but further queries
fails indicating those disks are not reachable.
Thanks,

Re: [ovirt-users] quick way to see total RAM and CPU count on VM listing
Alexander, Thanks for your help. Indeed, you are right! But only on the VM listing. When on the "Hosts listing", in the tab below you can quickly see the running VM (on that host), but you have no quick way to find the RAM/CPU information (since there isn't a below "below tab") This is specially annoying when we are trying to migrate VM between hosts, and have no easy information on ressource usage of each VM. I hope I do not come accross as rude, oVirt is a great peace of software and we are mostly satisfied with it. It's just sometimes frustrating to loose extra time to search this important information cordialement, regards, Nelson LAMEIRAS Lyra Network Service Projets et Processus Tel : +33 (0) 5 32 09 09 70 109 rue de l’innovation 31670 Labège - France www.lyra-network.com - Original Message - From: "Alexander Wels" To: users@ovirt.org Cc: "Nelson Lameiras" Sent: Friday, September 30, 2016 2:57:56 PM Subject: Re: [ovirt-users] quick way to see total RAM and CPU count on VM listing On Thursday, September 29, 2016 4:46:53 PM EDT Nelson Lameiras wrote: > Hello oVirt community, > > When listing virtual machines, is there a quick way to see how much RAM/CPU > each machine has? > If you select a VM, it will open up the sub tabs at the bottom of the web admin.

[ovirt-users] quick way to see total RAM and CPU count on VM listing
Hello oVirt community, When listing virtual machines, is there a quick way to see how much RAM/CPU each machine has? In oVirt 4.0.4, I can see ram/cpu usage in a very nice way, but I can not access easily the total RAM and number of CPUs. The only way to find this information in GUI is to edit a vm and see the system tab (and that's when the "edit" context menu is available, which is not always) Am I missing something?

Re: [ovirt-users] can't import vm from KVM host
Well I think I have a rather "classical" environment : This is the test setup I created (from scratch) in order to simulate future migrations (which will be used to migrate our hundreds of vm in production) On one side, I have a x86_64 centos7.2+KVM hosting one VM with 2 iscsi disks : 1 LVM block device /dev/mapper/vg_01-lv_sys, using virtio 1 block device /dev/sdc, using virtio on the other side, I have a x86_64 centos 7.2 oVirt cluster (2 hosts, same hardware as KVM hosts) installed with 4.0.3 oVirt (hosts and engine) fully upgraded to 4.0.4RC1 (hosts and engine) Target would be oVirt iscsi Data Domain disk (which is irrelevant because the problem I'm describing arises before selecting oVirt target) I'm using the GUI to test the native import capabilities of oVirt "Import VM" When selecting KVM import, putting correct URL data (using either tcp or ssh transport), I get a list of VM machines running in the KVM cluster (for this exemple, only the one VM described above), but the disk count is always 0. Which makes it impossible to import the VM. I should add that I made the same VM import using "local hard drives" (ie. local raw file) and it works as expected, I can see one or multiple disks and import them easily to oVirt. The problem seems to manifest itself only when importing disks using block devices directly. Do you need more information from me, or make more tests? thanks a lot, nelson - Original Message - From: "Shahar Havivi" To: "Nelson Lameiras" , "Nisim Simsolo" Cc: users@ovirt.org Sent: Sunday, September 18, 2016 9:24:13 AM Subject: Re: [ovirt-users] can't import vm from KVM host On 16.09.16 10:14, Nelson Lameiras wrote: > I upgraded to oVirt 4.0.4 RC1 to test this issue (engine and hosts) and I > still have the same problem. > > Migration GUI still shows zero disks when the source VM had block disk > devices. Yes... I was verify and merged to 4.0.4 Is your source and target block device (tested as well...) What else can you tell us about your environment?

Re: [ovirt-users] can't import vm from KVM host
I upgraded to oVirt 4.0.4 RC1 to test this issue (engine and hosts) and I still have the same problem. Migration GUI still shows zero disks when the source VM had block disk devices. Can you confirm that the issue 1362525 has been integrated in this RC? Should I do some additional actions in order to see/make it work?

Re: [ovirt-users] can't import vm from KVM host
Thanks for your answer. I do not think that I'm experiencing that same bug exactly. The issue 1362525 (below) concerns a KVM VM with iSCSI disk being importend to RHEV that does not perform well. In my case, when oVirt GUI proposes me the list of machines on KVM host to import, each machine as a "disk count" next to it. - This "disk count" is correct if the VM has it's storage on a raw/qcow file (local) - and import goes well - But "disk count" is 0 (always) if the VM has it's storage on a block device (ie iscsi) - and import is not possible at all! It seems to me that current oVirt migration tool is unable to read/analyse distant VM machines with block device storage... Maybe I'm analysing this issue wrongly.

[ovirt-users] can't import vm from KVM host
Hello, I'm trying to import virtual machines from a KVM host (centos 7.2) to an oVirt 4.0.2 Cluster using the "import" feature on GUI. If the original VM is using RAW/QCOW2 files as storage, everything works fine. But if the original VM is using a special block special device as storage (like a LVM or SAN volume), it's simply not recognized. The VM does appear in the import list of the KVM host, but it's disk count is 0! Is this a known technical obstacle or am I doing something wrong ? below is the storage part of the xml describing the original VM : We have hundreds of virtual machines in production with this type of configuration... How can we migrate them safely to oVirt? thanks Nelson ___ Users mailing list Users@ovirt.org http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users
