Re: [ovirt-users] getting 404 after fresh install of oVirt 3.4 on CentOS 6.5 (+ solution)
- Original Message - From: Steven Van Acker steven.vanac...@cs.kuleuven.be To: users@ovirt.org Sent: Tuesday, May 13, 2014 10:39:03 AM Subject: [ovirt-users] getting 404 after fresh install of oVirt 3.4 on CentOS 6.5 (+ solution) Hello all, I was asked to post the following problem on this mailinglist. After installing a clean CentOS 6.5 with a clean oVirt 3.4, following the instructions from http://www.ovirt.org/Download#Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux_6.2FCentOS_Installation_Instructions I went to http://localhost.localdomain:80/ovirt-engine as indicated and was redirected to a 404 page. The same happened when using https. During the installation, engine-setup will print out the following on my VM with 512MB RAM: [WARNING] Warning: Not enough memory is available on the host. Minimum requirement is 4096MB, and 16384MB is recommended. SSH fingerprint: 4B:DE:48:26:99:AA:C0:72:E3:C8:B5:64:5F:6E:6D:00 Internal CA FB:82:FE:14:35:3A:BE:1A:B1:E6:99:C2:DC:CD:6D:E0:44:64:0F:47 Web access is enabled at: http://localhost.localdomain:80/ovirt-engine https://localhost.localdomain:443/ovirt-engine Please use the user admin and password specified in order to login into oVirt Engine The consequence of not having enough RAM for oVirt is that it will silently fail to start up, without apparent errors or warnings. You mean, in the log? In my view, the warning above should be rephrased as Not enough memory is available on the host, oVirt will refuse to start and colored red. Did it 'refuse' to start, or simply failed to start? With what conditions exactly you want this error? What if the engine does manage to start (e.g. because you did some weird tweaking and managed to make it run in 256MB)? What if it later fails, after you add a few tens of hosts/VMs? I know I regularly use a 1GB VM for testing setup, never had problems. Generally, red stuff in setup is reserved to real errors - when something failed. The solution to this problem is to have at least 4GB of RAM, after which oVirt seems to start up fine (with only 1.2GB of RAM in use). How did you measure that? On my current test VM, I have: # ps aux | grep ovirt-engine ovirt10840 0.0 0.2 207952 2168 ?Ss 10:08 0:00 /usr/bin/python /usr/share/ovirt-engine/services/ovirt-engine/ovirt-engine.py --redirect-output --systemd=notify start ovirt10879 0.8 52.4 2247040 534892 ?

So it's likely that a 512MB VM will not be enough. Thanks for the report! -- Didi ___ Users mailing list Users@ovirt.org http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users
Re: [ovirt-users] jboss deployments timeout (was: getting 404 after fresh install of oVirt 3.4 on CentOS 6.5 (+ solution))
I am the reporter of the below bz, and the author of the fix [1]. However, I don't know jboss at all - just searched around, found somewhere the option 'deployment-timeout' (not sure where, probably a quick search can find this) and verified that the fix works. It seems like neither any of the reviewers of the change know enough about jboss to do some more analysis. Can anyone else, that knows jboss, please look at this issue? Specifically: 1. Was anything related to the maximum time for deployments changed in relevant jboss versions? 2. What is affected? What isn't? - fedora 19/20(/21?), el6 - ovirt repos (3.3, 3.4, master) and minimum requirements John: If this is reproducible for you, you might want to try the fix [1] (linked to from the bug). If you do, please report - what exact versions (OS, jboss, ovirt, etc) you used, and (according to the logs) how long did the deployment take. Thanks!

There is also a statement in that setup script as to needed filesystem space which seems to have been simply 'pulled out of the air', rather than documented / explained I searched a bit and can't find a sizing guide etc. for the engine. You can find stuff for the hosts if you search a bit. My current guess is that 1. It's based on anecdotal real-world use 2. It's meant to prevent people from wasting time on not-enough-memory (and disk space) issues etc. 3. In practice, people that use ovirt for more than a minimal setup, will have to have some nice hardware for the hosts, and so dedicating part of that to the engine is not a big issue. Especially with hosted-engine where you do not need a dedicated physical machine. No-one prevents anyone from doing some research and publishing the results, you know - e.g. a table showing An engine managing X VMs on Y hosts used such-and-such disk space over the first day/week/month/year of use, and had this-and-that average response time (or something more complex) when running with such-and-such RAM. If, based on that, you think we can/should provide more info regarding minimal/recommended RAM/disk for specific use cases, you are then welcome to update the wiki. Patches to setup are welcome too :-) Note that current limitations are never failing setup - they are always just warnings. You are welcome to ignore them (and feed that to your answer files if you run setup repeatedly). Is it just a matter of scale(number of vms/hosts/DCs) ? What would make engine consume more RAM? Can you maybe lower the minimum requirements? Or isolate the recommendations to a flat file which is commented, and sourced by the script, so a person can discern the difference between 'hard' requirements, and simple 'recommendations' for a stated use case Not sure I completely got you here, but if you meant to a file summarizing the results of such a hypothetical research, then I think that would be great.

My VM was stuck during OS installation because I was unable to configure the network for some reason. So I chose the final option 3 to abort the deployment. Now, I seem to be stuck. If I try to re-run --deploy it says it's already installed. If I try to run --vm-status, it says: Cannot connect to the HA daemon, please check the logs. But it's not clear what logs I should look at to get more info. I've attached the most recently modified logs. I can't get useful information out of them I'm afraid. There is no log for /var/log/ovirt-hosted-engine-ha Any clues? There is currently no cleanup tool for hosted-engine. You can remove all relevant packages (*ovirt*, *vdsm*, *libvirt*) and conf files of them (/etc/*ovirt* /etc/*vdsm* /etc/*libvirt* /etc/pki/vdsm) and then try again. The sources of ovirt-hosted-engine-setup include a script cleanup.sh that cleans up some things. During development, and especially while working on bugzilla bug #1034634, I did the following: 1. Keep in /root/clean-files copies of parts of /etc from a clean installation (e.g. after deleting stuff as explained above and yum install hosted engine setup but before deploy): [root@didi-box1 clean-files]# tree . ├── libvirt │ ├── libvirtd.conf │ ├── qemu.conf │ └── qemu-sanlock.conf ├── logrotate.d │ └── libvirtd ├── ovirt-hosted-engine-ha │ └── broker.conf └── sysconfig └── libvirtd 4 directories, 6 files 2. To clean up, I ran this script: = #!/bin/sh -x CLEAN=$HOME/clean-files service vdsmd stop service supervdsmd stop initctl stop libvirtd /bin/rm /etc/init/libvirtd.conf /bin/cp $CLEAN/libvirt/* /etc/libvirt/ /bin/rm /etc/libvirt/nwfilter/vdsm-no-mac-spoofing.xml ln -s ../default.xml /etc/libvirt/qemu/networks/autostart /bin/cp $CLEAN/logrotate.d/* /etc/logrotate.d/ /bin/rm /etc/ovirt-hosted-engine/answers.conf rm -rf /etc/ovirt-hosted-engine/firewalld /bin/cp $CLEAN/ovirt-hosted-engine-ha/* /etc/ovirt-hosted-engine-ha/ /bin/cp $CLEAN/sysconfig/* /etc/sysconfig/ /bin/rm /etc/vdsm/vdsm.conf /bin/rm /etc/pki/vdsm/*/*.pem /bin/rm /etc/pki/CA/cacert.pem /bin/rm /etc/pki/libvirt/*.pem /bin/rm /etc/pki/libvirt/private/*.pem chkconfig --levels 345 libvirtd on = And: Deleted on the nfs server the content of the data domain export. This does not revert the changes to network interfaces (e.g. addition of ovirtmgmt bridge). Best regards, -- Didi ___ Users mailing list Users@ovirt.org http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users
Re: [ovirt-users] Migrate to Hosted Engine - problem with doc/web page
Hi, Migrating an engine between machines using engine-backup is unrelated to hosted-engine. For details about that, please see [1], especially the howto section. In general, if you want to use a local database, you have to prepare it yourself prior to restore - engine-backup will not do that for you. [1] http://www.ovirt.org/Ovirt-engine-backup - Original Message - From: Bob Doolittle b...@doolittle.us.com To: users users@ovirt.org Sent: Tuesday, May 20, 2014 4:13:49 AM Subject: Re: [ovirt-users] Migrate to Hosted Engine - problem with doc/web page For the record, I'm pretty sure the How-To at http://www.ovirt.org/Migrate_to_Hosted_Engine actually requires an external database, although it never states so. You are right that it is written for a case in which both old and new engines use the same remote database. This was done to simplify the howto, as dealing with the database is unrelated to hosted-engine, which is the subject of this howto. The instructions as written will not work otherwise, because it presumes a pre-existing database before running engine-backup restore. If somebody can confirm I can open a bug on the page. You are welcome to do that, or better yet, document your own process and post that somewhere :-) In any case I have started over with a fresh engine-setup in a fresh VM. Having some issues I'll state in a different thread for clarity. -Bob Best regards, -- Didi ___ Users mailing list Users@ovirt.org http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users

Re: [ovirt-users] Adding Fedora 20 Support
- Original Message - From: Justin Brown justin.br...@fandingo.org To: users@ovirt.org Sent: Monday, June 2, 2014 9:59:34 PM Subject: [ovirt-users] Adding Fedora 20 Support Hello, I recently came across the LWN article on oVirt 3.4 (http://lwn.net/SubscriberLink/600370/dfa9cdd4f5ee0bb3/) and was discussing the lack of Fedora 20 support with an oVirt contributor, bkp. It's been 4 months since I last looked at running oVirt. I use Fedora 20 on all of my infrastructure, so I was quite surprised that there is still not support for running the engine on F20. Anyways, rather than just complaining, I figured it would be more helpful to volunteer some time to fix the issue. 1) I've tried looking through the oVirt bug reports to see what's happening with Fedora 20. So far, I have identified three issues that prevent 3.4 from working. Fedora includes sos-3, sos doesn't have support for all ovirt plugins, and only has Wildfly instead of JBoss-as. The full list of bugs is listed in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1060198. This is a tracker bug, depending on various other bugs. One of them is https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1055604 . As can be seen there, it was intended to be supported in 3.4.2, but was then reverted due to last-minute issues. -- Didi ___ Users mailing list Users@ovirt.org http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users
Re: [ovirt-users] oVirt Self Hosted Engine question
- Original Message - From: kevint...@umac.mo To: users@ovirt.org Sent: Monday, June 9, 2014 6:56:53 AM Subject: [ovirt-users] oVirt Self Hosted Engine question Dear all, Dear Sean Cohen Sandro Bonazzola, I found your toturial about oVirt Self Hosted Engine from here, I have a question about it. Would you help me? http://www.ovirt.org/Features/Self_Hosted_Engine My problem is: First, I am Following the tutorial, In machine 'Srv1', type these two command to install oVirt Host Engine: # yum install ovirt-hosted-engine-setup # hosted-engine --deploy Then I success create a Engine, and I can use web browser to access the Engine in other PC. Then, in second machine 'Srv2', type these two command to install second oVirt Host. # yum install ovirt-hosted-engine-setup # hosted-engine --deploy Did you supply there the same storage domain path used for the hosted engine on first host? Because you should, if you want HA. It will then notice that this path already has a VM image and will behave differently. See section 3.3 in that page - it should ask something like: The specified storage location already contains a data domain. Is this an additional host setup (Yes, No)[Yes]? yes'). My first problem is: in second machine 'Srv2', after issue command 'hosted-engine --deploy', and it prompt '[ INFO ] Waiting for VDSM hardware info'. System will ask me and wait my input for (1. Setup finish, 2. Restart VM, 3. Exit). I don't know what should I do now. My second problem is: I use another PC web browser connect to my oVirt Engine, and ask Engine to add Host 'Srv2' into Cluster. This should not be needed, deploy should have done that for you. It is done and successful. But when I try to keep 'Srv2' is running, and make 'Srv1' to reboot. How do you reboot it? Did you move to global/local maintenance? I found that I cannot connect to oVirt Engine anymore. I try to type 'hosted-engine --vm-start' in first machine 'Srv1', but it has error and cannot start my Engine virtual machine. Therefore, I cannot connect to my Engine anymore. How should I do now? If you still do not have data there, I think it will be easiest to just reinstall everything from the beginning. Make sure to supply the same path when running deploy on the second host. If you do have, or just feel like trying to fix this anyway: 1. Please supply relevant logs from both hosts (/var/log/ovirt*, /var/log/vdsm*) 2. After you fix the problem with the engine not starting, I think you can run again deploy on the second host and supply the same path. Not sure it will work without cleaning a bit (removing configuration of hosted-engine and/or vdsm). My three question is: How to make my Engine become HA? Since when 'Srv1' reboot, the Engine cannot jump to 'Srv2' automatically. It should have happened automatically.

Subject: [ovirt-users] Setting up all-in-one
Hi folks,
I'm new to the project, so please pardon my ignorance.
I came to oVirt by way of looking for a suitable KVM/libvirt-based IaaS stack
to supersede my old Ubuntu 12.04 setup, that I've been running since KVM
came to Ubuntu-town.
I've looked tried a number of solutions - Eucalyptus, Enomalism, OpenStack
- but most proved too cumbersome or admin-heavy for us.
Well, hopefully you'll find oVirt best :-)
A while back I set up oVirt on CentOS (whatever was stable at the time), but
had to shelve the project for a while, because... reasons. Fired it back up
again did all the requisite updates/upgrades to bring the host up to
snuff.
Unfortunately oVirt did not work as well, so I tried removing/purging it from
the host reinstalling it - both the 3.4.* stable 3.5 beta - but both get
hit up by the same issue when running the engine-setup.
Details follow -

should look a few lines before that. If it's the engine itself, you should
look at its logs (/var/log/ovirt-engine/*.log). If it's vdsm, its own

[1] http://www.ovirt.org/Otopi [2] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1101001 Yes that was my problem, I was trying to do AIO install but engine-cleanup didn't work because a version mismatch. Perhaps because you upgraded ovirt-engine-setup without running engine-setup. You should have been able to fix by downgrading it. So I tried removing everything by hand but the installer never asked me the install local VDSM question... Then I thought I'd get smart and just Perhaps you did not have the allinone plugin itself? Or removed its /etc/ovirt-engine-setup.conf.d/10-packaging-aio.conf ? Or something like that? edit the answer the installer generated and add the AIO lines to it. But nearly all the settings are undocumented so I had to resort to searching on what to set them to on pastebin etc. In the end, I reinstalled the host as it was quicker to do a fresh install. Also I want to create puppet files and deploy engine through foreman. I think as a workaround, I'll do a couple of different installs and rip the generated answer file from them. But when a new parameter get's introduced, I will never know about it until I run into an issue. I think that using the kept files during the same minor (e.g. generate on 3.4.2, use for 3.4.3) should usually be safe (but not always). When upgrading to 3.5, I suggest to run again interactively to generate new answer files. Something like ovirt-installer --list-answerfile should be possible IMHO, as the installer uses and verifies the parameters on install. I'm not a programmer but it should be able to spit out a list them. We had several discussions in the past re this. We'd rather not do that. Main reason is what I explained above - some combinations will not work well. I think the main flows to using answer files are: 1. Most common - you have a specific env you want to be able to generate (including specific packages/plugins installed, specific answers you want to give etc). You just run engine-setup interactively and keep the generated answer file, and do not edit it. It will in principle be good only for an exact copy (same versions of packages etc.). 2. You do some testing of engine-setup and need to run it lots of times, interactively, and just not want to have to answer all the questions, just some of them. So you run engine-setup, edit the answer file and remove the answers you want to give interactively and use that. 3. Similar to 2. above, but you just want to keep very few answers (such as the one for the question warning you against running setup with not enough memory :-) ). So

In 3.4 there is a backup/restore utility called engine-backup. You can use this to backup the RHEV-M database(s) as well as restore. Of course this won’t backup the Guest OS itself. My DR strategy is to simply copy off these engine-backup files to another location.

It reads all hotkeys and key combinations from F1 to F12 and Shift F1 to F7 and skips F8 and F9... putty? What changed on oVirt 3.4.1 that I can no longer use this hotkeys? I also try to use them on windows and they are just not coming though at all... It seems to me that spice is catching the key sequence and capturing it before delivering it to the guest or spice?

What happens if you manually try to start the vdsmd service on the host (not

If that's your only problem, you can simply write there a number larger than the largest one issued so far, as can be seen by 'ls -l /etc/pki/ovirt-engine/certs'. E.g. if the largest there is '1007.pem', you can 'echo 1008 /etc/pki/ovirt-engine/serial.txt'. However, this file should not be empty normally at this point.

I have a single server running oVirt 3.4 (host+storage) with a self-hosted engine setup. The hosted engine and the host are both on CentOS 6.5. According to the release notes for 3.5, I would install the ovirt-release35.rpm RPM, which gives me the oVirt 3.5 repositories. Is the upgrade path at that point then as simple as running yum upgrade on both the host and the hosted-engine or do I still need to run yum update ovirt-engine-setup then engine-setup after upgrading both? It isn't clear (to me) if the yum ovirt-engine-setup and engine-setup steps on the 3.5 Release Notes are for a clean install only, or if they still need to be run on a system being upgraded. Generally speaking, the upgrade instructions at [1] still apply (just replace there 3.4 with 3.5).

Re: [ovirt-users] Ubuntu/Debian support?
- Original Message - From: Itamar Heim ih...@redhat.com To: users@ovirt.org Sent: Monday, November 17, 2014 9:41:32 AM Subject: [ovirt-users] Ubuntu/Debian support? So, a quick non-scientific poll... Motivation: It has been suggested that adding ubuntu or debian distro support could broaden the reach of the oVirt community. To date, there has been some work towards this goal, but it is not coming to a conclusion. Questions that comes to mind: 1) Is this still an issue? Define issue. iow, define what our goal is. If it's make it possible to easily run ovirt on debian, that's one thing, perhaps easily achieved by your points 4-5 below. If it's have ovirt packaged inside the Debian archive that's a considerably different issue. I think we should aim for the latter, the former is a start. 2) Can we afford to dilute the focus we have as it is hard enough to stabilize the currently supported distro's? is it worth the potential impact? imho yes. I agree with the other replies already posted. 3) Would it have maintainers catering to it so it won't be left behind / delay development? For Debian, generally speaking, it's up to us to support. AFAIK almost all Debian developers are volunteers, and do whatever they find interesting or need for their own use. So we should either try to contact existing such developers dealing with virtualisation-related packages there and see how interested they are in ovirt, or try to do this on our own. To get things into the archive you do not necessarily need to be a developer yourself, they have a system of mentors etc. for that. For Ubuntu, if Canonical is interested, they are of course more than welcome to help! This will obviously help also Debian, although AFAIK not necessarily every package that is accepted to the Ubuntu archive is automatically or easily accepted to Debian's. 4) Why bother with host support, ovirt-node can be used? As long as we see value in developing and supporting hosts based on el/fedora, this value also exists for Debian-based hosts. If we decide one day to support only ovirt-node, it's not as important what distro it's based on. 5) Why bother with engine support, a virtual appliance or a docker image could be used? Because many users will find it a higher barrier to implement, for various reasons. 6) if we do it, should we focus on Ubuntu or Debian distro first? IMO Debian, I agree with other replies already posted. 7) if we do it, should we focus on host or engine first? Not sure I can see a strong preference for one of them. I'd like to add my own question, since none of the replies so far replied to it: 8. Do we have here existing users that are interested in this? If it worked equally well, would you (re?)install on Debian? Because if the answer is 'No', we might be discussing this on the wrong list, and better approach Debian lists/forums/etc. -- Didi ___ Users mailing list Users@ovirt.org http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users

The fact that recent versions aren't, is a different issue. oVirt is at least currently developing quite fast, and the release processes of distributions mean that users that use only stuff from the official archive will get older versions, which I think for oVirt wasn't very acceptable until recently, perhaps still is - I do not think anyone (here or elsewhere) would like to support 3.1, as recent versions are so much better. Even if we do not aim for inclusion in the official archive any time soon, we can still try to make our packages as nice as possible for that - including e.g. carefully checking the Debian policy documents and adhering to them, try to consult experienced Debian packagers for whatever pitfalls we should try to avoid, etc. All of this is not as important if you merely want to make using ovirt on Debian possible or easy. 8. Do we have here existing users that are interested in this? If it worked equally well, would you (re?)install on Debian? Because if the answer is 'No', we might be discussing this on the wrong list, and better approach Debian lists/forums/etc. that's one of the reasons i qualified this as a quick non-scientific poll... Not sure this question makes it any more scientific :-) -- Didi ___ Users mailing list Users@ovirt.org http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users

Sorry for not replying earlier. I have a problem with changing ovirt hostname: I change the following: 1. config in /etc/hosts and /etc/sysconfig/network and restart machine 2. /usr/share/ovirt-engine/setup/bin/ovirt-engine-rename --newname=new hostname.fqdn This script changes only the fqdn of the engine, not of hosts. In all-in-one, the same machines plays both roles. 3. engine-setup But still a problem with changing address in node in webadmin portal. Indeed. In principle you can try to move your host to maintenance, remove it, then install again from the gui using the new name. In practice this has more than one way to fail/loose data/etc., so if you try, better do that on a test env and/or have good backups. Have somebody any idea how to do it? The only sure way I can think of is to start from scratch. You might be able to do that by exporting all your VMs to an export domain, engine-cleanup, engine-setup again with all-in-one and the new name, then import your VMs. I didn't try that myself. If all you care about is the name displayed in the web admin interface for the node, and not its actual name in the dns, you might be able to easily change that in the db - didn't try that either.

[ovirt-users] hosted-engine setup/migration features for 3.6
Hi all, We already have quite a lot of open ovirt-hosted-engine-setup bugs for 3.6 [1]. Yesterday I tried helping someone on irc who planned to migrate to hosted-engine manually, and without knowing (so it seems) that such a feature exists. He had an engine set up on a physical host, prepared a VM for it, and asked about migrating the engine to the VM. In principle this works, but the final result will be a hosted-engine, where the engine manages a VM the runs itself, without knowing it, and without HA. The current recommended migration flow is described in [2]. This page is perhaps a bit outdated, perhaps missing some details etc., but principally works. The main issue with it, AFAICT after discussing this a bit with few people, is that it requires a new clean host. I'd like to hear what people here think about such and similar flows. If you already had an engine and migrated to hosted-engine, what was good, what was bad, what would you like to change? If you plan such a migration, what do you find missing currently?

Yes, but that's a personal preference. blockquote Would it be easier to mention in the install directions to use the standard add-on if selecting the minimal package set for host deployment? /blockquote The wiki page already tells to install tar, and I think that's enough. blockquote Just thoughts.

[Users] A security issue in ovirt 3.2 on fedora - setup leaves a world-writable /etc/sysconfig/nfs
Hi all,
The setup code of ovirt releases 3.2 and older set wrong permissions for
several files, depending on options chosen during setup/upgrade.
The potentially-affected files are:
/etc/sysconfig/nfs
/etc/sysconfig/iptables
/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf.BACKUP*
/etc/httpd/conf.d/ssl.conf.BACKUP*
files under the ISO domain copied there by setup, by default under
/var/lib/exports
The bug does not affect systems with linux kernels older than 3.1,
which included undocumented behavior that prevented it from occurring. Here is a
link to the kernel patch that dropped this undocumented behavior:
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/stable/linux-stable.git/commit/fs/open.c?id=e57712ebebbb9db7d8dcef216437b3171ddcf115
In practice this means that among the distributions supported by ovirt,
only ovirt on Fedora is affected.
ovirt 3.3 is not affected as-is. Systems upgraded from 3.2 might still have
the files with wrong permissions, and should follow the actions below.
How to fix an existing system?
Change the permissions of existing files by running the following commands
as root:
chmod 600 /etc/sysconfig/nfs
chmod 600 /etc/sysconfig/iptables
chmod 600 /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf.BACKUP*
chmod 600 /etc/httpd/conf.d/ssl.conf.BACKUP*
find /var/lib/exports -perm /002 -type f -exec chmod 600 {} \;
For the last command, replace /var/lib/exports with the appropriate directory,
if you did not accept the default during setup and configured another directory
to
hold the ISO domain.
A fix for this bug was pushed to gerrit:
http://gerrit.ovirt.org/19557
Security implications:
This bug allows local users escalate their privileges by editing
/etc/sysconfig/nfs
and waiting until the nfs service will be started/stopped (e.g. a reboot of the
machine).

I currently need to move an AIO configuration from AMD hardware to Intel I7 hardware. The engine-backup WIKI discusses backups, but not restores. I am a bit concerned about using engine-backup to restore an AIO configuration to a different system as another WIKI page with step-by-step instructions to do what engine-backup does for you, mentions you have to do some extra steps if you are changing hostnames as the hostname of the ovirt-engine is embedded in the database. Changing the hostname is specifically not in the scope of engine-backup. Note that you do not need to have the hostname equal to the fqdn input during engine-setup - this last one just needs to be dns-resolvable and point to the machine intended. Also, there is another utility to do that, called ovirt-engine-rename - see this for details and implications: http://www.ovirt.org/Changing_Engine_Hostname There really needs to be some work done in Ovirt on making it easier to import existing disk images and just generally moving things around without having to bounce off an NFS server.

Re: [ovirt-users] Drive for hosted-engine storage failing. Must Migrate
- Original Message - From: Chris Routh ro...@amateurwriting.net To: users@ovirt.org Sent: Saturday, December 13, 2014 4:09:09 PM Subject: [ovirt-users] Drive for hosted-engine storage failing. Must Migrate I sort of had a feeling this day would come right from the moment I setup the hosted engine. When I set it up I put it on a smaller hard drive with an NFS share and put the VMs on a different set of drives with NFS. The VMs have now been moved to an iSCSI share on a FreeNAS box. The hard drive that contains the hosted-engine is now failing, and I have to move the contents of it to another drive, preferably without destroying my cluster and recreating it. How can I accomplish this? Just the drive itself? If can afford that, simplest would probably be to take down everything, copy the disk to a new one, then start up. If you can't afford the downtime, and/or have more complex needs (or setup), you might want to give some more details, and/or describe (based on your setup and needs) what you intend to do and what stops you from doing that. Good luck, -- Didi ___ Users mailing list Users@ovirt.org http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users

(3.5 repo isn't working for me) It's likely that 3.5.1 will work, but contrary to nodes, there is not a big difference between them for the engine. CentOS 7 is supported for host nodes, but not the engine. If you have a mixed CentOS 6/7 environment, note that migration works from 6-7 hosts, but not from 7-6.

Subject: [ovirt-users] Problem after update ovirt to 3.5
Hello everybody,
After upgrade my engine to oVirt 3.5, I have also upgraded one of my hosts to
oVirt 3.5. After that it seems that all have gone good aparently.
But in some seconds my ISO domain is desconnected and it is impossible to
Activate. I'm attaching my engine.log. The below error is showed each time I
try to Activate the ISO domain. Before the upgrade it was working without
problems:

If any other information is required, please tell me.
Is the ISO domain on the engine host?
Please check there iptables and /etc/exports, /etc/exports.d.
Please post the setup (upgrade) log, check /var/log/ovirt-engine/setup.
Thanks,
