Hi, all

Yes, hook is the way to go.


I dont't know where the xml file is or
The xml is created every time you start a vm and deleted every time you 
shutdown a vm. A hook can change the resulting xml before start the vm.

Here some examples: https://github.com/oVirt/vdsm/tree/master/vdsm_hooks


Anyone can help? Thanks!

[ovirt-users] Using oVirt Python SDK in Avocado Testing Framework

[Amador Pahim]

Hi guys,

I would like to share this post on using oVirt Python SDK to write tests 
in Avocado Testing Framework:


https://virtstuff.wordpress.com/2016/04/10/ovirt-functional-tests-using-avocado/

This post was born from an issue report, but after we get rid of the 
issue, I wonder if someone else can benefit from the remaining information.


Best,

Dear all,

mentioned page, but I cannot find a complete documentation.  Our oVirt
server is running CentOS 7 with ovirt-engine-sdk-python installed.
However there doesn't seem to exist an ovirt-engine-sdk-python-docs

Any ideas, where the documentation is available?

Other than what you found I found this but that's all.  Doesn't seem 
to be much other than examples an the one that shows what to import. 
 I, too would like to find what your are looking for so I can use it.


There is this RHEV documentation that can be helpful:

Hello,
Yes i can.

It's here:
https://copy.com/OmnU13SAPXh13ZiR

Yes

The problem is in the command_entities table that is not cleaned up and has two 
records after taskcleaner.sh is invoked by engine-setup
Since engine tries to deserialize classes defined in this table and as Martin 
noted changes between 3.5 and 3.6 changed some classes, we got this exception
We should not allow leftovers to exists in this table during the upgrade 
process and taskcleaner utility should handle that as well
Please open a BZ on that, I will handle that
Meanwhile, as a workaround, run the following before the upgrade

psql -U engine -c "DELETE from command_entities;" 


I'm afraid the upgrade was done already. Will this work after the 
upgrade? Or he's supposed to downgrade/restore env to 3.5, run the 
DELETE and then try to upgrade again? Asking 'cause It's quite a task if 
yes :)

before the command execution it loads content of commands cache and
here comes the issue: there's stored AddVmFromSnapshotCommand which
contains DiskImage as a parameter and DiskImage implementation has

Moti, is there some way how to clean up commands cache so it doesn't
contain those 3.5 commands?

Also should those situation be covered during engine upgrades?

Martin, is this a left over in the command_entities table that caused
the
failure while the entity is deserialized ?

Probably, because this DiskImage.Id serialization exception started to
appear
after upgrade from 3.5. Is there any way how to verify and clean up?

I suggest having a bug on the taskcleaner code which is called upon
upgrade, then I will try to reproduce
Amador, Is there a chance we can get a backup of that 3.5 DB in order to

Hi,

according to the test of login by ovirt-engine-extensions-tool you
were
logged in
successfully, so there shouldn't be any issues logging into engine
using
admin@internal ...

Unfortunately both engine.log and server.log ends on Jan 22th and I'd
really
like to see up-to-date logs.

So if you still cannot login into webadmin please do following:

1. Stop engine service

  systemctl stop ovirt-engine

or

  service ovirt-engine stop


2. Rotate logs

cd /var/log/ovirt-engine
mv engine.log engine-20160127.log
mv server.log server-20160127.log


3. Start engine

  systemctl start ovirt-engine

or

  service ovirt-engine start


4. Try to login as admin with domain internal using webadmin


5. Try to login as admin@internal using REST API by
accessing

  http://SERVER/ovirt-engine/api/datacenters

Into user please enter full username: admin@internal


When done please attach latest server.log and engine.log


Thanks a lot

Martin Perina

There are 2 settings to play here:

MaxMacsCountInPool: 10 version: general

# engine-config -g MacPoolRanges
MacPoolRanges: 00:1a:4a:ab:64:00-00:1a:4a:ab:64:ff version: general

You're probably exhausting the MacPoolRanges. You can either extend the 
current range or add a new range, using commas between the ranges:


# engine-config -s 
"MacPoolRanges=00:1a:4a:ab:64:00-00:1a:4a:ab:64:ff,00:1A:4A:97:5F:00-00:1A:4A:97:5F:FF"


Then restart ovirt-engine service.

Iirc, this setting is changing to the UI in ovirt 3.6.

On a cluster I can configure Memory Optimization “for server loads”

This relates to memory page sharing right?  If so what’s the downside

This is how much more memory you will use to create VMs. Using 150%, a 
hypervisor with 10GB of RAM will run up to 15 x 1GB VMs or 10 x 1,5GB 
VMs and so on. If it happens all VMs using all memory in the same time, 
you have KSM working to deduplicate memory pages and, as a last 
resource, enough swap to avoid the oom killer.


The best setting here depends on your workload. If you already know your 
VMs will use all memory they have, so the less the better. If you want a 
big number of VMs and they are not going to stress the memory that much, 
you can play with the values and find what fits better for you.

[ovirt-users] Power Management for Nested VMs

[Amador Pahim]

Hi,

I'm used to have nested hypervisors for test/devel pourposes. The 
missing feature when using nested hypervisors is the Power Management 
device, keeping my env. useless to test HA, Cluster Policy with PM 
control and so on.


This week I had contact with the Minyard's set of patches for qemu, 
currently in review, adding an ipmi device to qemu. Here a post with my 
first experiments:

Hope you guys enjoy. Feel free to comment or suggest improvements.

Best,

Hi,

Would it be possible add the io stats of a vm into
ovirt-guest-agent for making that data available in the interface
of oVirt?

I could help out by getting the stats into the client package, the
server side would be a bigger issue to me.

Re: [ovirt-users] CPU family: which should I choose?

Hello,

I am a bit confused about the CPU families.  When I installed my host, 
it prompted me for the CPU family to use, and gave me a list of CPU 
models to choose from.  I chose the default suggestion, 
model_SandyBridge.


I don't recall all the choices it gave me offhand, but when I run ' 
vdsClient -s 0 getVdsCaps | grep -i flags ; echo -e -n \n ;cat 
/proc/cpuinfo | grep model name | head -n 1', it indicates the 
following models detected:


model_Nehalem
model_Conroe
model_coreduo
model_core2duo
model_Penryn
model_Westmere
model_n270
model_SandyBridge

Which one would provide the most compatibility?  Is there a list of 
CPU family hierarchies which would indicate what model(s) could fit 
with what?


You should choose the newest family that matches all your servers, so 
you have all of them with the same set of features available.
In the list above, SandyBridge is the newest. You can see the hierarchy 
here: /usr/share/libvirt/cpu_map.xml

Re: [ovirt-users] How do I get discard working?

oVirt Node - 3.5 - 0.999.201504280931.el7.centos

Using our shared storage via baremetal (stock CentOS 7) - iscsi, I can
successfully issue fstrim commands. With oVirt at the VM level, even
with direct LUNS, trim commands are not supported despite having the LVM
config in the VMs set up to allow it.

Hey,

IIUIC you try to get discard working for VMs? That means that if fstrim is
used inside the VM, that it is getting passed down?

The command line needed for qemu to support discards is:

$ qemu … -drive if=virtio,cache=unsafe,discard,file=disk …

I'm not sure which qemu disk drivers/busses support this, but at least virtio 
does so.
I'm using it for development.

You could try a vdsm hook to modify the qemu command which is called when the 
VM is spawned.

Let me know if you can come up with a hook to realize this!


There's this hook in code review intended  to do so:
https://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/c/29770/

SRIOV I imagine, but they get pretty good performance even without it.


Maybe we should report vNIC speed as the speed of underlying NIC/Bond. 
Even being the underlying NIC/Bond shared, it would reflect better the 
vNIC max. speed than a fake hard coded value.

Today a follow work ask me if is possible to use vNIC or vbridge

What he wants is to have a virtual 10gb network to some machines.

All hosts NIC's are 10gb.

Is this possible?

If yes how can I do it?

That's not true. You're not using the Export Domain to support live 
migrations. Your VMs are running in a regular Storage Domain (not Export

So iscsi is not supported,please correct me

is.


It's not shared considering the lowest level. Each disk corresponds to a 
LVM logical volume, which is activated only on the specific hypervisor 
running the VM. Others hypervisors cannot access the logical volume 
while the VM is not running on it (except for shared disks). To activate 
the logical volume (in order to run the VM), hypervisor runs a lvchange 
-ay vol_group/logical_vol



In my existing non ovirt environment,SAN block devices is exported
and its shared using GFS.Is ovirt using any simillar method to achieve
shared block device.

Re: [ovirt-users] Cumulative VM network usagePERIOD_TIME

[Amador Pahim]

Hi Lior,

Thank you for this. Indeed I have seen multiple requests for this. I 
also have a bugzilla for it: 
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1108144. Some comments bellow.


On 11/11/2014 07:07 AM, Lior Vernia wrote:

Hello,

The need to monitor cumulative VM network usage has come up several
times in the past; while this should be handled as part of
(https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1063343), in the mean time
I've written a small Python script that monitors those statistics,
attached here.

The script polls the engine via RESTful API periodically and dumps the
up-to-date total usage into a file. The output is a multi-level
map/dictionary in JSON format, where:
* The top level keys are VM names.
* Under each VM, the next level keys are vNIC names.
* Under each vNIC, there are keys for total 'rx' (received) and 'tx'
(transmitted), where the values are in Bytes.

The script is built to run forever. It may be stopped at any time, but
while it's not running VM network usage data will be lost. When it's
re-run, it'll go back to accumulating data on top of its previous data.


This could be mitigated if along with rx and tx data, vdsm was reporting 
a timestamp reflecting the time when data was collected. So, even with 
gaps, we should be able to calculate the cumulative information.




A few disclaimers:
* I haven't tested this with any edge cases (engine service dies, etc.).
* Tested this with tens of VMs, not sure it'll work fine with hundreds.
* The PERIOD_TIME (polling interval) should be set so that it matches
both the engine's and vdsm's polling interval (see comments inside the
script), otherwise data will be either lost or counted multiple times.
 From 3.4 onwards, default configuration should be fine with 15 seconds.


Here we have another issue. In 3.4, 15 seconds is fine... backend and 
vdsm are in line with 15 seconds. But up to 3.3, vdsm is pooling the 
data every 5 seconds and backend is collecting data every 15 seconds. So 
2 in 3 vdsm poolings are droped. Since you're handling total bytes, this 
might not be a big issue.



* The precision of traffic measurement on a NIC is 0.1% of the
interface's speed over each PERIOD_TIME interval. For example, on a
1Gbps vNIC, when PERIOD_TIME = 15s, data will only be measured in 15Mb
(~2MB) quanta. Specifically what this means is, that in this example,
any traffic smaller than 2MB over a 15-second period would be negligible
and wouldn't be recorded.


Looking to the code, if overhead is bigger than PERIOD_TIME, 
cumulative data for a given period will never be accurate. Anyway the 
script will fall in exception when that is the case (negative value for 
time.sleep()). The mentioned timestamp reported by vdsm could drop the 
need for the overhead calculation.

Actually vdsm is not reporting rx/tx bytes. They are tx/rx rate. So, 
we're only able to see the average consumption for the time between 
pooling periods.

Forget the last sentence. It's a big issue since the data is not

Hi Doron,

KSM is controlled by MoM, which gets its policy from the engine through

Can you please check your mom logs and see if there are any errors there?

I wasn't aware of mom.log, thanks! :-) After another host reboot
and a manual Sync MOM Policy it seems like the setting finally came
through:

2014-10-19 15:57:18,211 - mom.Controllers.KSM - INFO - Updating KSM 
configuration: pages_to_scan:64 run:0 sleep_millisecs:10

Now the ksmd process is still there, but it remains idle.


Indeed ksmd process will always be there. The ultimate place to check 
whether it's working or not is /sys/kernel/mm/ksm/run file. 1 for 
running and 0 for sleeping. mom.log is reflecting its value and MoM 
process will change it as needed.



I've tried this multiple times before upgrading to 3.5.0 GA
today. Maybe it was broken between RC and GA.

I'll keep an eye on this and open a BZ in case the setting will
change again.

Re: [ovirt-users] Proper way to change iSCSI and NFS IP

[Amador Pahim]

On 10/21/2014 07:37 PM, Trey Dockendorf wrote:
What is the proper way to change iSCSI and NFS IP used to access the 
storage domains?


Using the API: http://www.ovirt.org/Features/Manage_Storage_Connections

i.e. using ovirt-cli:

- Put SD in maintenance mode, then:

[root@ovirt-engine ~]# ovirt-shell -c -l 
https://ovirt-engine.example.com/api; -u admin@internal -I

[...]

[oVirt shell (connected)]# list storageconnections
[...]

[oVirt shell (connected)]# show storageconnection 
3aff9de7-426f-4ebf-99f7-088b52d08da1

[...]

[oVirt shell (connected)]# update storageconnection 
3aff9de7-426f-4ebf-99f7-088b52d08da1 --address NEW_IP

[...]

Activate SD.



My IB fabric which was doing storage crashed and we have a scheduled 
maintenance window for next week at which time I'd like to either move 
my storage to 10GbE or back to IB.  I was able to move things off IB 
to standard TCP/IP by editing the database but that is likely not the 
correct way.  I am on ovirt 3.4.3.  My NFS domain is the master and 
iSCSI data domain is only used by two VMs while NFS is used by ~30 VMs.


Thanks,
- Trey

The issue is the VM Edit window not loading current value 
(https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1104318), but you can check 
the current value in VM General sub-tab.

Could you share the exact ovirt-engine version you're using?

Hi,

while testing oVirt 3.5 RC I've came across this cluster setting:

Optimization - KSM control - [X] Enable KSM

I guess it's related to Kernel Same-page Merging.
Since KSM is a bad idea in my case (really slow CPUs), I've disabled
this Cluster setting, expecting oVirt to disable KSM on each oVirt Node.
But KSM is still running and consuming a lot CPU.

1) What is the expected result for this setting?


It will have effect next host change to Up state (i.e. from Maintenance 
or from a reboot). Anyway, you can force the policy to have effect on 
the fly: select the cluster, click in Hosts sub-tab, select the host(s) 
and click Sync MOM Policy.



2) And how do I completely and permanentely disable KSM on oVirt Nodes?


This setting is permanent.

We can use oVirt to export CentOS OVF images. Users will then upload the

You need to check if nested KVM support is enabled on your machine

cat /sys/module/kvm_intel/parameters/nested

If the answer is N:

echo options kvm-intel nested=1  /etc/modprobe.d/kvm-intel.conf

Then reboot. This and vdsm-hook-nestedvt package should be enough.

Yes, but you need nested kvm support in the host (which is not available
in stock el6), and to install the nestedvt hook. More about it in
http://community.redhat.com/blog/2013/08/testing-ovirt-3-3-with-nested-kvm/


Is that what the vhost custom property is for?

Nope, that's to turn off a certain type of vNIC optimization that used
to be detrimental to certain guests.

Your feedback and input is invited.
Hi Malini, great job. I really liked it. I'd  suggest evaluate better 
the load bars color. IMHO, it seems disconnected with the overall 
theme colors or even with the green used in unselected Up icons and 
the head's green line.
Please also evaluate the colors for all bar situations and the text 
color for each of them:

- Selected / Unselected.
- Green / Orange / Red.
- Low / Medium (tricky for text color) / High value.


Thanks

Great! Actually we created the list in google groups before checking the
