Re: [ovirt-users] Dell DRAC 8

[Patrick Russell]

I ended up using the drac5 fence, secure, and cmd_prompt=

This works if I connect to the individual idrac for each blade. I never did get 
it working from the CMC level, but this way is acceptable.

Hi,

Did you try with this options? It is intended for the second generation of 
idrac7 but, it may work for idrac8.

We've recently pushed a patch to have lanplus as a default option for drac7.
Until then you can set this option explicitly through the additional options
in the power management configuration tab in the edit/add host dialog.
Please check whether it helps.

CC-ing Eli, just in case I've missed something.
Please make sure that you have the following in the UI options field (on the 
Edit dialog PM TAB)

privlvl=OPERATOR,lanplus,delay=10

All of my other dell servers (r710, r620) success on power management test.
Is it a known bug?

Re: [ovirt-users] oVirt 3.5.2 Hypervisor crash, guest VMs not migrating

[Patrick Russell]

If you turn the host back on, do the VM then power up on the host that was 
never down?

If so, we have filed a bug around this in our 3.5.1 environment.

 Hello,
 
 I am testing guest VM migration in the event of a host crash, and I am 
 surprised to see that guests that are selected to be highly available do not 
 migrate when a host is forcibly turned off.
 
 I have a 2 host cluster using iSCSI for storage, and when one of the hosts, 
 either the SPM or normal, is forcibly turned off, although the engine sees 
 the host as non-responsive, the VMs that were running on it remain on that 
 crashed host, and a question mark (?) appears next to them.  Other than 
 checking highly available, is there another step that needs to be made for 
 a VM to be restarted on a working host should the host it is running on fail?
 
 Thanks,

Re: [ovirt-users] Automating oVirt Windows Guest Tools installations

[Patrick Russell]

Thank you Lev for the clarification. We had been installing manually via the 
ISO, but I had mis-read some other articles about using python to automate the 
process.

I will pass on the notes around /S and your article to our internal windows 
team. Maybe they have some ideas around the cert store, or at the very least 
pass off the manual instructions to our NOC.

I appreciate the response,
Patrick

lve...@gmail.commailto:lve...@gmail.com wrote:

Hi Patrick,

First of all lets clear some misunderstanding here - you don't need to manually 
install Python.
The installation of oVirt WGT is fully self contained, and while the oVirt 
Guest Agent it includes is indeed programmed in Python, the version included is 
converted using py2exe (check py2exe.orghttp://py2exe.org/ for more details 
if it interests you) into a standalone executable (well, almost - just like 
Windows version of Python.exe, it depends on Microsoft Visual Studio CRTL, but 
we install it during the installation of the oVirt WGT).

Now about the automated installation. Generally we support silent installation 
of oVirt WGT.
You just need to supply /S command parameter to the installer.
However there is a catch - unfortunately Windows will popup warning messages 
due to the fact that the drivers supplied are non-WHQL'd. That is because the 
drivers are signed by Red Hat, Inc. and not by Microsoft certificate.

This is a security feature of Windows OS itself, and there is not much we can 
do about it right now.
The side effect of this is that you need to manually approve the drivers 
installation for each driver, or choose to trust all drivers from Red Hat, 
Inc., and then no more popups will show up. Unfortunately, you still need to do 
this manually at least once, and you can't pre-approve Red Hat, Inc. to make 
this process automated. For more information on installing oVirt WGT you can 
check this article: 
http://community.redhat.com/blog/2015/05/how-to-install-and-use-ovirts-windows-guest-tools/
 by yours truly.

There is a workaround though, and it's to create a program that will 
automatically approve such unsigned drivers dialogs. It's relatively easy to 
program with i.e. AutoIt scripting engine (check: 
https://www.autoitscript.com/site/autoit/ ), which is free (like in free beer, 
but unfortunately not as in freedom because source code for it is not 
supplied). Note that you must be quite careful with that, as by doing so you 
basically disabling the security mechanism that Microsoft had put in place for 
a reason, and potentially you may unintentionally install other non-WHQL'd 
drivers - if the installation attempt for these other drivers will be made 
while your auto-approver program will run.

Thanks in advance,
Lev Veyde.

[ovirt-users] windows guest tools install

Hi all,

We’ve got a large migration in progress for a windows (2k3, 2k8, and 2k12) 
environment from vmware to ovirt. Does anyone have any suggestions for an 
unattended ovirt-tools install? Our windows team has pretty much shot down 
installing python on their VM’s. Are there any flags we can pass to the 
installer to just accept the defaults? Any other suggestions?

Thanks,

Re: [ovirt-users] Benefits of Cluster separation

[Patrick Russell]

Can I ask at what scale you’re running into issues? We’ve got about 500 VM’s 
running now in a single cluster.

Subject: [ovirt-users] Benefits of Cluster separation

We’re running into some performance problems stemming from having too many 
Hosts/VMs/Disks running from the same Datacenter/Cluster.  Because of that I’m 
looking into splitting the DC into multiple separate ones with different 
Hosts/Storage.
But I’m a little confused what the benefit of separating hosts into clusters 
achieves.  Can someone please explain what the common use cases are?  Since all 
the clusters in a DC seem to need to see the same storage, I don’t think it 
would help my situation anyway.

Thanks,
Ryan

We didn’t use the iso at all. If you have vcenter, try something like this 
(note using vpx, etc):

virt-v2v -ic 
vpx://username@$vcenter_hostname/$DataCenterName/$ClusterName/$esxiHostName?no_verify=1
 $VMName -o rhev -os $EXPORT_DOMAIN --bridge $NetworkNameinOvirt

Here’s our versions, using centos 7:

virt-v2v-1.28.1-1.28.el7.x86_64
qemu-kvm-common-rhev-2.1.2-13.el7.x86_64

Re: [ovirt-users] Storage network question

[Patrick Russell]

We just changed this up a little this week. We split our traffic into 2 bonds, 
10GB mode 1 as follows:

Guest vlans, managment vlan (including some NFS storage) - bond0
Migration layer 2 only vlan - bond1

This allowed us to tweak the vdsm.conf to speed up migrations without impacting 
management and guest traffic. As a result we’re currently pushing about 5Gb on 
bond1 when we do live migrations between hosts.

 Which bond mode do you use, out of curiousity?  Not sure I would go to this 
 extreme, though; I would still want the physical isolation of Management vs. 
 network/VM traffic vs. storage, but just curious which bonding mode?
 
 Modes 1 and 5 would seem to be the best ones, as far as maximising 
 throughput.  I read an article just the other day where a guy detailed how he 
 bonded four 1Gbit NICs in mode 1 (with each on a different VLAN) and was able 
 to achieve 320MB/s throughput to NFS storage.
 
 As far as the storage question, I like to put other storage on the network 
 (smaller NAS devices, maybe SANs for other storage) and would want the VMs to 
 be bale to get at those.  Being to use a NIC to carry VM traffic for storage 
 as well as for host access to storage would cut down on the number of NICs I 
 would need to have in each node.

Is this esxi or esx and vcenter? If you have regular esx you need to connect

Re: [ovirt-users] integrate iSCSI and FC on the same oVirt datacenter

We use FCoE in our setup. All the configs are in /etc/fcoe/ and fcoeadm is part 
of the ovirt-node iso. So this should work the same as setting up FCoE on 
CentOS or RHEL.

Re: [ovirt-users] integrate iSCSI and FC on the same oVirt datacenter

[Patrick Russell]

You need a NIC that supports it. We are currently using the Broadcom 
Corporation BCM57840 NetXtreme II 10 Gigabit Ethernet adapter. However, 
multiple vendors sell a converged network adapter that should work.

You’ll also need to verify that your switch supports FCoE. This is where you’ll 
connect up to your SAN fabric.

If you’re in the market for new compute blades as well, you can go the route we 
did. The Dell FX2 platform has a couple of 4 port FCoE and Network switch in 
the back of each chassis so you can cable up directly to the fabric without 
changing your top of rack switches to FCoE. Here’s some more information:

http://www.dell.com/us/business/p/poweredge-fx/pd

Specifically the FN2210S IO Module for that chassis:

It will all work using different VLAN tags on the same physical nics. At least 
in 3.5.x that’s the case, we don’t have a 3.4.x install so I can’t speak to 
that. You’ll want to watch your NFS and migration traffic though. Make sure you 
don’t overrun the bandwidth for management traffic or you’re going to have a

[ovirt-users] Host maintenance - VM migration logic

[Patrick Russell]

Is there any way migrate VM’s more evenly across the cluster when a host is 
being placed into maintenance? Currently it attempts to auto migrate all the 
VM’s to another single host and then balance out. When the destination host is 
more than 50% memory utilized this has caused over subscription problems. Some 
of our more heavily used hosts ending up using all the memory and stop 
communicating with engine. If it’s not possible, how are other teams handling 
this? Manual migrations before maintenance mode?

Thanks,
Patrick
