Re: [ovirt-users] [ovirt-devel] oVirt node, hosted-engine, oVirt appliance and cloud-init
On 03/12/2015 10:02 AM, Simone Tiraboschi wrote: Hi all, cloud-init is a powerful tool to configure from outside a cloud instance or an appliance as in our scenario. Deploying the engine as an appliance is indeed a good way to speed up and make easier the hosted-engine deployment: you don't need to install an OS on the engine virtual machine and than install the engine and so on but you could simply run a ready to use oVirt engine appliance. But you still need to configure it and so cloud-init support within hosted-engine is a reasonable way to complement it. Then we could also integrate it with oVirt node to let the user input the required info from node TUI in order to have an almost unattended hosted-engine setup on oVirt node using an engine appliance with cloud-init. The idea is to collect the required information interactively from hosted-engine setup or from node TUI (passing them to hosted-engine setup via an answer file) and pass them to the appliance via cloud-init using a no-cloud datasource. So now the question is what do you really want to configure via cloud-init? It's just to define what we want in order to be more focused on user needs: for instance we could configure engine VM instance hostname, we could set the root password, we could create other users, we could upload ssh private keys, we could run a command on the first boot and so on. So, if you have any ideas or requirement about that it's the right time for it. Great suggestions, Simone! The things you list cover most of what I do to the engine VM (I do all of those except for configure ssh private keys). In addition, I: * Add a couple of packages (e.g. zsh) * Configure alternate shells for some initial users (this could be run a command on the first boot, as long as adding the necessary packages was done before that somehow, perhaps simply as a prior command) * Populate some specific files, e.g.: o Add specific ssh *public* keys into the $HOME/.ssh/authorized_keys files for some user and root accounts o Replace /etc/hosts with a master copy that contains all hosts on my network I'd like to see the additional packages abstracted out somehow and added prior to the run a command on the first boot step, as opposed to using yum explicitly for one of those commands, but that's somewhat of a cosmetic nice to have since obviously it can be done explicitly. It's separate conceptually, so would be nice to treat as such. I'm learning Puppet at the moment, and it strikes me that what you want to do is pretty much the same thing that Puppet manifests are designed to do.

Well I still don't use spice, it seems very alpha/beta to me. Also these dependencies seem insane, for a server installation: xserver-xorg-core Definitely - if you want a server installation, don't install a desktop distro. But if you want desktops from your guest (e.g. User Portal/VDI), Xorg is inescapable (at least until Mir/Wayland are out), and of course will have many dependencies (the desktop itself will have even more, particularly for Gnome or KDE). For connecting to desktops, in my experience Spice is preferable to VNC. I swear I have used Ubuntu desktops in guests before, and didn't run into this problem. I feel either something has changed recently, or I'm doing something wrong. Things are much too broken to be plausible as typical. I know I didn't have to live with 640x480 consoles. Still hoping somebody can point to upstream for Spice/VNC. The Spice Wiki is full of broken links (a bad sign, I would say). -Bob ___ Users mailing list Users@ovirt.org http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users

I also have a hosted-engine setup (3.5.1).

I haven't pursued it any further than that, but it seems it should work. Once you've done that, you should be able to ssh into the engine, use LVM commands to add the disk to your existing volume, and then grow the FS to the new volume size. -Bob On 03/11/2015 11:10 AM, Sven Achtelik wrote: Hi Bob, how can I add a disk without the GUI ?

Re: [ovirt-users] Error during hosted-engine-setup for 3.5.1 on F20 (The VDSM host was found in a failed state)
For the record, once I added a new storage domain the Data center came up. So in the end, this seems to have been due to known bugs: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1160667 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1160423 Effectively, for hosts with static/manual IP addressing (i.e. not DHCP), the DNS and default route information are not set up correctly by hosted-engine-setup. I'm not sure why that's not considered a higher priority bug (e.g. blocker for 3.5.2?) since I believe the most typical configuration for servers is static IP addressing. All seems to be working now.

I decided to just start over fresh starting with re-installing the OS on my host. I can't deploy DNS at the moment, so I have to simply replicate /etc/hosts files on my host/engine. I did that this time, but have run into a new problem: [ INFO ] Engine replied: DB Up!Welcome to Health Status!

I think I had an issue with resolving external hostnames, or else a connectivity issue during the install.

OK, attached. Like I said, it looks to me like a name-resolution issue during the yum update on the engine. I think I've fixed that, but do you have a better suggestion for cleaning up and re-deploying other than installing the OS on my host and starting all over again? I just finished starting over from scratch, starting with OS installation on my host/node, and wound up with a very similar problem - the engine couldn't reach the hosts during the yum operation. But this time the error was Network is unreachable. Which is weird, because I can ssh into the engine and ping many of those hosts, after the operation has failed. Here's my latest host-deploy log from the engine. I'd appreciate any clues. It seams that now your host is able to resolve that addresses but it's not able to connect over http. On your hosts some of them resolves as IPv6 addresses; can you please try to use curl to get one of the file that it wasn't able to fetch? Can you please check your network configuration before and after host-deploy? I can give you the network configuration after host-deploy, at least for the host/Node. The engine won't start for me this morning, after I shut down the host for the night. In order to give you the config before host-deploy (or, apparently for the engine), I'll have to re-install the OS on the host and start again from scratch. Obviously I'd rather not do that unless absolutely necessary. Here's the host config after the failed host-deploy: Host/Node: # ip route 169.254.0.0/16 dev ovirtmgmt scope link metric 1007 172.16.0.0/16 dev ovirtmgmt proto kernel scope link src 172.16.0.58 You are missing a default gateway and so the issue. Are you sure that it was properly configured before trying to deploy that host? It should have been, it was a fresh OS install. So I'm starting again, and keeping careful records of my network config. Here

There is no /root/.ssh directory, however. Did I need to set that up somehow? It's the engine that needs to open an SSH connection to the host calling it by its hostname. So please be sure that you can SSH to the host from the engine using its hostname and not its IP address. I'm assuming this should be a password-less login (key-based authentication?). Yes, it is. As what user? root OK, I see a couple of problems. First off, I didn't have my deploying-host hostname in the hosts map for my engine. After adding it to /etc/hosts (both hostname and FQDN), when I try to ssh from root@engine to root@host it is prompting me for a password. On my engine, ~root/.ssh does not contain any keys. On my host, ~root/.ssh has authorized_keys, and in it there is a key with the comment ovirt-engine. It's possible that I inadvertently removed ~root/.ssh on engine while I was preparing the engine (I started to set up my own no-password logins and then thought better and cleaned up, not realizing that some prior setup affecting that directory had occurred). That would explain the second issue. How/when does the key for root@engine get populated to the host's ~root/.ssh/authenticated_keys during setup? -Bob -Bob Till hosted-engine hosts were simply identified by their IP address but than we had some bug report on side effects of that. So now we generate and sign certs using host hostnames and so the engine should be able to correctly resolve them. When I log into the Administration portal, the engine VM does not appear under the Virtual machine view (it's empty). It's cause the setup didn't complete. I've attached what I think are the relevant logs. Also, when my host reboots, the ovirt-ha-broker and ovirt-ha-agent services do not come up automatically. I have to use systemctl to start them manually. It's cause the setup didn't complete. This is a fresh Fedora 20 machine installing a fresh copy of Ovirt 3.5.1. What's the cleanest approach to restore/complete sanity of my setup please? First step is to clarify what went wrong in order to avoid it in the future. Than, if you want a really sanity environment for production use I'd suggest to redeploy.

I am not sure what percentage of cases have remote databases but clearly many (most?) do not, since that's not default behavior. So that page definitely needs attention. See: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=105 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=108 Some of us have wanted to disable global maintenance upon bootup by adding a systemd service on Fedora 20 (since you must enable global maintenance to shut it down cleanly), and have found it impossible to create the necessary systemd dependencies. It seems that (at least with 3.4) hosted-engine --set-maintenance --mode=none will return an error for several seconds after all other services have started and it's not clear what can be waited upon in order to issue the command with assurance it will complete successfully. This isn't strictly a setup/migration issue but it is an issue with setting up a desired configuration with hosted-engine. The way to reproduce this is simply to wait until gdm-greeter displays the login prompt, ssh into the system and execute hosted-engine --set-maintenance --mode=none and observe the error. Or create a systemd service that depends upon (waits for) the latest-possible service, try executing the command there, and observe the error. Ideally there would be some external observable event which a systemd service could depend upon, when hosted-engine is ready to do its thing.

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?

Thanks Markus, but I have a single, self-hosted node, so cannot migrate VMs. Is it your assumption that F20 will never be updated with libvirt 1.2.9? If that's the case, my best course (in a month or so when F21 is released) is probably to export all my VMs, install F21, reinstall/reconfigure oVirt, import the old Export Domain, and then import my VMs again. -Bob On 11/20/2014 01:20 PM, Markus Stockhausen wrote: Hi Bob, if your are on a cluster with FC20 hypervisor nodes wthout virt-preview (like we run it with qemu 1.6.2) the simplest way to get live merge features should be - beware NOT FULLY TESTED! 1) choose a single host (we only need a single one if we think about the required setup) 2) Install libvirt from virt-preview repos.

Re: [ovirt-users] [ANN] oVirt 3.4.4 Release is now available
Cool! However, the instructions for upgrading a Hosted Engine setup look suspiciously out of date and divergent from the instructions for upgrading standalone engine (e.g. you never run engine-setup??). Is this page accurate: http://www.ovirt.org/Hosted_Engine_Howto#Upgrade_Hosted_Engine I just fixed a bunch of egregious typos on the page myself - all of the hosted-engine invocation lines were incorrect (e.g. hosted-engine --set-maintenance=global instead of the now-corrected syntax: hosted-engine --set-maintenance --mode=global). This makes me somewhat cautious about the rest of the page content I'm afraid. Is it accurate to say that when upgrading a Hosted Engine setup you basically just upgrade the packages (while carefully orchestrating which services are up at the time), and never run engine-setup? If that page *is* accurate, why is engine-setup required for upgrading a standalone engine?

This release solidifies oVirt as a leading KVM management application and open source alternative to VMware vSphere. oVirt is available now for Fedora 19 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.5 (or similar). This release of oVirt includes numerous bug fixes. See the release notes [1] for a list of the new features and bugs fixed. The existing repository ovirt-3.4 has been updated for delivering this release without the need of enabling any other repository, however since we introduced package signing you need an additional step in order to get the public keys installed on your system if you're upgrading from an older release. Please refer to release notes [1] for Installation / Upgrade instructions. Please note that mirrors will need a couple of days before being synchronized. If you want to be sure to use latest rpms and don't want to wait for the mirrors, you can edit /etc/yum.repos.d/ovirt-3.4.repo commenting the mirror line and removing the comment on baseurl line.

I've updated a bit http://www.ovirt.org/Hosted_Engine_Howto#Upgrade_Hosted_Engine, hopefully should answer your questions. I am using Fedora 19 for host and engine. When I try to follow these instructions I get to the point of restarting VDSM on the host, and get: # service vdsm restart Redirecting to /bin/systemctl restart vdsm.service Failed to issue method call: Unit vdsm.service failed to load: No such file or directory. See system logs and 'systemctl status vdsm.service' for details. VDSM was still running, but systemctl did not think so: # systemctl stop vdsm Failed to issue method call: Unit vdsm.service not loaded. So instead at that point I shut down the engine (init 0) and rebooted the engine-hosting host.

Re: [ovirt-users] Problem installing Ubuntu Guest Agent
Thanks, that works a treat :) Will somebody be updating the wiki page? I'm still mystified by something though. I can't get copy/paste to work in/out of my guest console, and console performance (terminal scrolling) seems very sluggish. According to this page: http://www.ovirt.org/Understanding_Guest_Agents_and_Other_Tools#Linux_Guests I need the Spice Agent. The table says Spice drivers should be pre-installed, if I understand it properly [1]. Is that sufficient, or is there an agent executable I must install as well [2]? My kernel is 3.13.0-30. Thanks, Bob [1] Row 2 and row 3 use different terminology (Built in vs Yes). It's not clear if they mean the same thing. If they do, consistent terminology would clarify. If they don't, some extra description or links seem necessary to clarify. [2] Similar to [1] there's the Spice Driver/Agent terminology confusion. If they mean the same thing we should use consistent terms. If they are separate, the agent seems to need a 4th row in the table showing where/how to get it.

Yes Sven, that's what it says. I don't have experience on those platforms to update appropriately. Do you have permission to edit the Wiki?

Re: [ovirt-users] Can HA Agent control NFS Mount?
Doron, This is my normal process but it does not resolve the issue. A few of us who have experienced this have tried a number of things. I see two hangs/wdmd timeouts during shutdown, so I think there are two remaining lease holders. I find if I stop vdsmd, ovirt-ha-agent, and ovirt-ha-broker services I only experience the last hang (almost at the end, as it's shutting down filesystems). Any hang results in a wdmd timeout and consequently a reboot instead of poweroff. If I never bring engine up, things shut down cleanly. I will try your suggestions in the other mail a bit later this morning. -Bob On 06/13/2014 08:28 AM, Doron Fediuck wrote: Bob, the way to handle it is to switch to global maintenance, and then ssh into the VM and shut it down.

Re: [ovirt-users] Can HA Agent control NFS Mount?
It turns out I was wrong before. I don't have to start up Engine to get into this situation. I did the following: * Turn on Global Maintenance * Engine init 0 * Reboot node * Wait a few minutes * poweroff I'll get the timeouts and hangs during shutdown again, and a reset instead of poweroff. It's possible that somehow the system is coming out of Global Maintenance mode during shutdown, and the Engine VM is starting up and causing this issue. I did the following. 1. hosted-engine --set-maintenance --mode=none You can see the attached output from 'hosted-engine --vm-status' (hosted-engine.out) at this point, indicating that the system is in Global Maintenance 2. Waited 60 seconds, and checked sanlock You can see the attached output of 'sanlock client status' (sanlock-status.out) at this point, showing the Engine VM locks being held 3. I stopped the vdsmd service (note that the first time I tried I got Job for vdsmd.service cancelled, and re-issued the stop. You can see the attached output of 'sanlock client status', and the following commands (output) What's interesting and I didn't notice right away, is that after I stopped vdsmd the sanlock status started changing as if the locks were being manipulated. After I stopped vdsmd, the HA services, and libvirtd, and waited 60 seconds, I noticed the locks seemed to be changing state and that HostedEngine was listed. At that point I got suspicious and started vdsmd again so that I could recheck Global Maintenance mode, and I found that the system was no longer *in* maintenance, and that the Engine VM was running. So I think this partly explains the situation. Somehow the act of stopping vdsmd is making the system look like it is *out* of Global Maintenance mode, and the Engine VM starts up while the system is shutting down. This creates new sanlock leases on the Engine VM storage, which prevents the system from shutting down cleanly. Oddly after a reboot Global Maintenance is preserved. But there may be more going on. Even if I stop vdsmd, the HA services, and libvirtd, and sleep 60 seconds, I still see a lock held on the Engine VM storage: daemon 6f3af037-d05e-4ad8-a53c-61627e0c2464.xion2.smar p -1 helper p -1 listener p -1 status s 003510e8-966a-47e6-a5eb-3b5c8a6070a9:1:/rhev/data-center/mnt/xion2.smartcity.net\:_export_VM__NewDataDomain/003510e8-966a-47e6-a5eb-3b5c8a6070a9/dom_md/ids:0 s hosted-engine:1:/rhev/data-center/mnt/xion2\:_export_vm_he1/18eeab54-e482-497f-b096-11f8a43f94f4/ha_agent/hosted-engine.lockspace:0 It stays in this state however and HostedEngine doesn't grab a lock again.

But reading though that bug report (closed not a bug) it states that the problem should only arise if something is not releasing a sanlock lease. So if we've entered Global Maintenance and shut down Engine, the question is what's holding the lease? How can that be debugged? For me it's wdmd and sanlock itself failing to shutdown properly. I also noticed even when in global maintenance and the engine VM powered off there is still a sanlock lease for the /rhev/mnt/hosted-engine/? lease file or something along those lines. So the global maintenance may not actually be releasing that lock.

Re: [ovirt-users] Can HA Agent control NFS Mount?
Thanks Andrew, I'll try this workaround tomorrow for sure. But reading though that bug report (closed not a bug) it states that the problem should only arise if something is not releasing a sanlock lease.

So just to clarify some of the issues you mentioned; Hosted engine wasn't designed for a 'single node' use case, as we do want it to be highly available. This is why it's being restarted elsewhere or even on the same server if no better alternative. I hope you will keep this configuration in your design space as you move forward. As you can see it is likely to be a popular one. At a previous employer, everybody in our development group had a single (powerful) machine running VMware vSphere, with a hosted vCenter, to use as a development VM testbed. It's likely to be popular for people with few resources who want to run in a fully supported configuration. HA is great, but not every environment has the resources/requirement to support it. oVirt has a lot to offer even a leaner environment and I hope those environments continue to get attention as the product matures. For example, I hope there is a reasonable story around upgrades to future releases for single-node hosted configurations. Having said that, it is possible to set global maintenance mode as a first step (in the UI: right click engine vm and choose ha-maintenance). Then you can ssh into the engine vm and init 0. What is the recipe for a clean startup after shutdown? Can we do 'hosted-engine --vm-start' while the system is in Global Maintenance mode?

Re: [ovirt-users] Can HA Agent control NFS Mount?
Just for the record, what Andrew reports is not specific to GlusterFS. I have not yet found a way to shut down my single-node Hosted deployment cleanly without experiencing NFS hangs/timeouts on the way down. My NFS storage is local to my host. Also curious is that when I say poweroff it actually reboots and comes up again.

Hi, I was just wondering, within the whole complexity of hosted-engine. Would it be possible for the hosted-engine ha-agent control the mount point? I'm basing this off a few people I've been talking to who have their NFS server running on the same host that the hosted-engine servers are running. Most normally also running that on top of gluster. The main motive for this, is currently if the nfs server is running on the localhost and the server goes for a clean shutdown it will hang because the nfs mount is hard mounted and as the nfs server has gone away, we're stuck at an infinite hold waiting for it to cleanly unmount (which it never will) If it's possible for instead one of the ha components to unmount this nfs mount when it shuts down, this could potentially prevent this. There are other alternatives and I know this is not the supported scenario, but just hoping to bounce a few ideas. Thanks, Andrew Hi Andrew, Indeed we're not looking into the Gluster flow now as it has some known issues. Additionally (just to make it clear) local nfs will not provide any tolerance if the hosting server dies. So we should be looking at a shared storage regardless of the hypervisors. ___ Users mailing list Users@ovirt.org http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users ___ Users mailing list Users@ovirt.org http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users

Re: [ovirt-users] Cannot find guest domain /var/tmp/console-9.rdp
Looking at my console.rdp file (attached), it does not appear to have valid content. Nowhere does it specify an IP address or valid hostname to connect to so I don't see how it could possibly work. It has: full address:s:W2k8-build but that is simply the name I assigned to the VM in the oVirt admin GUI, not an actual hostname. The address is assigned via DHCP so no hostname would work anyway. Since I can't get a console I can't determine what that address is, either :) (no guest agent running). I only get a console.rdp file for my Windows 2008 VM. For my newly-imported Fedora 20 VM I get a console.vv which works fine. Any clues? Why console.rdp instead of console.vv, and how is that supposed to be used to connect to the VM?

Sorry for all the noise, but this is resolved and I wanted to share for the record. Although the console options for the VM do not provide any selection here, if you right-click on the VM there is a menu item for Console Options. This had Remote Desktop selected. I was able to change it to SPICE in that menu (but not the VM edit menu, which already stated SPICE). It seems we have some issues in 3.4.1-1: - some dueling menu options (the options in VM edit/Show Advanced Options/Console/Protocol are silently overridden by the options in right-click VM/Console Options) - the overriding menu is pretty well hidden (only available via right-click VM) - the default behavior now requires a change in the 'hidden' menu unless you pre-configured your Windows machine to allow Remote Desktop access (you can't use RDP with Windows by default, yet the default oVirt console protocol after import is RDP) - the console.rdp file generated does not have sufficient information to complete an RDP connection (no valid hostname/address to connect to) Thanks, Bob On 05/22/2014 01:57 PM, Joop wrote: Look at your console options.

I took the defaults during deployment for domain setup. When I first login to webadmin #vms, it shows HostedEngine as green/up. At #storage it shows my ISO Domain and ovirt-image-repository as unattached. No Data Domain. At #dataCenters it shows my Default datacenter as down/uninitialized If I go to #storage and select ISO_DOMAIN and select it's Data Center tab (#storage-data_center), it doesn't show any Data Centers to attach to. -Bob - can you login to the VM running the engine and try to mount the nfs share manually to some directory, just to see if it works? Neither engine nor setup is responsible for setting the nfs share (and configuring iptables for nfs server), so it's up to you to set it up properly and make sure it's mountable from engine. I'm afraid NFS was a red herring. NFS shares from the host to the engine are not required for basic oVirt operation, correct? If I understand Sandro correctly, that should not be affecting my storage connections to engine. I'm sorry I brought it up - it was my misunderstanding. I believe the first thing to look at is why the ISO domain is unattached to my Default Datacenter, is that correct? Then my Datacenter should become operational, and I can add a Data Domain. I can manually mount the ISO_DOMAIN directory on both my host and my engine without issues (it resides on my engine). So why is my Datacenter not visible when I go to attach my ISO domain? -Bob ___ Users mailing list Users@ovirt.org http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users
Re: [ovirt-users] Hosted engine problem - Engine VM will not start
Well that was interesting. When I ran hosted-engine --connect-storage, the Data Center went green, and I could see an unattached ISO domain and ovirt-image-repository (but no Data domain). But after restarting ovirt-ha-broker and ovirt-ha-agent, the storage disappeared again and the Data Center went red. In retrospect, there appears to be a problem with iptables/firewalld that could be related. I noticed two things: - firewalld is stopped and disabled on the host - I could not manually NFS mount (v3 or v4) from the host to the engine, unless I did service iptables stop So it doesn't appear to me that hosted-engine did the right things with firewalld/iptables. If these problems occurred during the --deploy, could that result in this situation? I have temporarily disabled iptables until I get things working, but clearly that's insufficient to resolve the problem at this point. -Bob On 05/20/2014 05:18 AM, Jiri Moskovcak wrote: On 05/20/2014 03:33 AM, Bob Doolittle wrote: I have successfully completed hosted-engine --deploy with 3.4.1, and set up my Engine.

I see ovirt-hosted-engine-setup logs, not /var/log/ovirt-engine/host-deploy logs. Oh sorry - from the engine then. Attached. But my problem is with the firewall on the host. I cannot NFS mount a share on the host (e.g. my Data Domain) on the engine. In this case the host is the NFS server, and the engine is the NFS client. Only the host firewall should be relevant, correct? Maybe what you are saying is that hosted-engine does not attempt to configure the iptables on the host to allow NFS shares? Yes, to be clear: ovirt-hosted-engine-setup just enable ports for spice / vnc connection from remote host to VM while performing OS install on the VM. Once the VM is installed ovirt-engine configure iptables on the host using ovirt-host-deploy package when the host is added to the engine. If you need other services on the host running the hosted engine you'll need to configure manually iptables. Thanks, Jirka - since Sandro says this NFS issue is irrelevant to Hosted operation, do you have any other suggestions or can I provide any additional data to help diagnose why my configuration is non-operational? I will eventually want to fix this and add Data and Export domains from my host, but for the moment it appears no NFS exports from the host are required for oVirt operation. So where are my domains? :) Thanks, Bob I have attached iptables-save output. I can't see anything blocking the mount from the hots toward the engine vm. Can you attach iptables-save also from the engine vm? (IIUC you've a nfs share there and you're trying to mount it from the host right?) Visa-versa. My Data domain is on my host.

Hi, I'm trying to follow the instructions here: http://www.ovirt.org/Migrate_to_Hosted_Engine I've shut down my original engine and completed engine-backup.

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. 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. In any case I have started over with a fresh engine-setup in a fresh VM.

Re: [ovirt-users] Failure during self-hosted deployment: exception configuring management bridge
Also - is there a bugID for this new issue?
The one I quoted is supposed to only affect non-existent device names.
Why is this affecting valid device names as well, and only in the VDSM
context?

I have two NICs - a wireless NIC which is disabled, and an ethernet NIC

I've also attached the output of ip addr.
I also notice some disturbing looking messages in the vdsm log during
setupMultipath, including Panic: Error initializing IRS and then
subsequent lvm-related errors during StorageRefresh. Those did not abort
the deployment, however. What do those failures indicate?
This looks a lot like a new manifestation of:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1057772
Which version of Vdsm are you using? ovirt-3.4.1's vdsm-4.14.7 should
have fixed the that problem.
I even instrumented the code in
/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/vdsm/netinfo.py
The device name (p3p1) being passed in is correct (I even tried setting
the string directly), but the returned object is empty.
If I start python by hand and run ethtool.get_interfaces_info(p3p1) it
returns the correct data.
So it seems as though the code is somehow environmentally sensitive. I'm not
sure what it is about my environment that would cause issues here however,
since presumably this is working for others...
I'm afraid this has recently been tickled by a relase of python-ethtool
to Fedora 19.

Re: [Users] Migrate simple configuration to self-hosted
Thanks for the careful reading. First to repeat my start point and goals: I want to migrate my existing deployment to self-hosted. I have a simple deployment: A: Machine Fedora 20 B: libvirt VM (hosted on A) RHEL 6.5 running Engine 3.3.4-1 C: Machine RHEL 6.5 acts as Hypervisor/Host/Node (VDSM 4.13.3-4) ISO NFS Domain is on B Data (Master) NFS Domain is on C I want to migrate VM B to Machine C, as self-hosted, and free up Machine A Comments inline: On 03/16/2014 04:12 AM, Yedidyah Bar David wrote: This document assumes the most trivial settings, where the only thing you care about is simplicity, stability and minimizing downtime. It specifically does not try to use the minimum hardware possible. I see two demographics interested in migrating their current Ovirt deployment to self-hosted: 1 Those interested in freeing up a machine to use as another hypervisor. 2 Those (like me) interested in freeing up a machine to use for another purpose. Both groups want to free up a machine, presumably because they need more resources. So I don't think our primary How-To should involve requiring a new machine in order to migrate. I think many (like me) will find such a solution intractable. For those who have resources to spare, the current How-To seems fine, but that might not be the majority. I can think of several different directions: Direction 2 === If you do not care about uptime - the simplest. Backup everything(!) - engine VM, other VMs, etc., then start from scratch: Reinstall OS on host C, install and deploy hosted-engine there, restore actual engine data from backup as described in the wiki. This sounds like the most interesting approach for my needs. I like simple, and I can live with some downtime. Can you give me a complete list of things I should back up please? Also (and this gets back to my comment about the usefulness of some kind of date on pages visible to people who are not logged in) there are many pages regarding backup/restore. Is there one in particular you are thinking of/recommend? For backing up VMs I imagine it will not be sufficient for me to export my VMs to an export domain somewhere remote to host C (which I'll be scratching/reinstalling OS in order to target self-hosted). Later if I restore actual engine data, and then import my VMs, I imagine the UUIDs won't match? Or is the UUID preserved across export/import? What if I were to create a new temp NFS Storage Domain with my current oVirt, someplace other than host C, and then move my VMs to it? Then, after I set up self-hosted and restore my engine data, I could move them back and nuke my temp domain? I'm willing to be a guinea pig here, and report back what I find, if I can get a little more guidance as to avenues that might be useful to pursue.

In spite of our best efforts, that will probably always be true - it's the nature of Wikis. When I look for information on our Wiki, I never know where the most current information is. I think it would be really helpful if someplace on each Wiki page was a useful date to let us know the currency of the info. Probably the most useful date is last-modified, although creation date might also be useful. Maybe we could even map/display the date to the version number of whatever the current stable release was at the time for context (sometimes the content of a page calls out a particular version it's addressing, but a lot of the time it does not). Just as an example, I want to find out about migrating my existing configuration to self-hosted, using 3.4 RC2. A google search shows the following links (in order shown): http://www.ovirt.org/Features/Self_Hosted_Engine http://www.ovirt.org/Migrate_to_Hosted_Engine http://www.ovirt.org/Hosted_Engine_Howto ... I'm sure the Features page is ancient at this point. It's hard to tell about the 2nd page. Of course the date a page was last modified doesn't directly indicate how correct/current the information is, but there's a correlation. Knowing the date would be useful in making a judgment. It might even help the task of identifying and cleaning up obsolete pages. Easy to do? -Bob Hi Bob, I'm not against it and I'm aware of the fact that pages tend to become out of date. Since every page has a history as you can see in the attached, adding another date seems needles. What do you think? Hi Doron, I was thinking of something very simple - a clear text date on ever page on the Wiki. I can't see anything that looks like your attached picture of menus on this page, for example: http://www.ovirt.org/Features/Self_Hosted_Engine Do you have to log in to see that menu? If so, that's not very helpful to those without accounts... 1. So create an account, it's free :-) 2. It's indeed *shown* only to logged in users, but the links are accessible to everyone. You can guess them by looking at any other mediawiki site. E.g. for this page, the history one is: http://www.ovirt.org/index.php?title=Features/Self_Hosted_Engineaction=history I trust we can both agree we could do better, without too much trouble. We want to make our Wiki pages as easy to use and as helpful as possible to everyone, not just people with accounts who have logged in before searching for information, or who know how to do magical transformations on Wiki URLs to determine the date ;) I'm not trying to be critical of where we are now - just trying to establish a baseline of what we should hope to achieve.

Re: [Users] Request for Wiki - dates
The problem with (the obvious implementation of) a flag like that is you have to trust everybody in order to believe it. Let's face it, we've all been newbs at one time or another. Operator error happens all the time. If just anybody can flag a page as out of date (and if it only takes one vote), is the flag actually useful? Probably not. Seems like a good candidate for crowd sourcing. What if we could vote (up or down) on the usefulness of a page? What if old votes timed out so you always saw a reasonably current indication (I suppose a vote of 0 might also indicate a page nobody visits any more). This would flag pages that need work, and also pages that are very helpful so need vigilance to keep them so.

Last updated doesn't tell you about the feature that is stable and unchanged since 3.0, nor does it tell you that the feature is in constant flux and the latest commit just changed everything. You need 2 dates for maximum usefulness: Last updated, and Flagged out of date - if last updated is after the flagged date, something is wrong (flag should have been removed). If the flag is there then the page needs updating. Ideally, flagging the page would indicate the reason for the flag. Anyone know how you'd do this in a maintainable way in MediaWiki? Cheers, Dave.

[Users] Migrate simple configuration to self-hosted
Hi, I want to migrate my existing deployment to self-hosted. I have a simple deployment: A: Machine Fedora 20 B: libvirt VM (hosted on A) RHEL 6.5 running Engine 3.3.4-1 C: Machine RHEL 6.5 acts as Hypervisor/Host/Node (VDSM 4.13.3-4) ISO NFS Domain is on B Data (Master) NFS Domain is on C I want to migrate VM B to Machine C, as self-hosted, and free up Machine A When I look at these instructions: http://www.ovirt.org/Migrate_to_Hosted_Engine It starts with I installed a new host with fedora 19. I don't understand this. Won't most people doing this migration want to start with their existing Hypervisor/Host/Node, and migrate their Engine to it? Do I really need a new 3rd machine, when my goal is to free up one of my 2 existing machines? Or can I go ahead and assume these instructions are fine to apply to an existing Host already running VDSM 4.13.3-4? I would have (naively?) imagined that the typical migration would be something like: 0. Upgrade Engine and Host to 3.4 1. Create a new VM 2. Install OS on new VM, start it up 3. Backup current Engine 4. Stop current Engine (leave Host and VM running), change hostname (local and DNS), maybe power off for good luck until done 5. Login to new VM (probably using ssh unless there's a way to connect directly to the VM via Spice/VNC while the Engine is down) to: A. Assign previous Engine hostname to it (local and DNS), possibly reboot B. Set it up as a self-hosted Engine C. Restore backup to it D. Start up new engine What am I missing?

[Users] Best way to request a new feature?
What's the best way to request a new feature? Do we manage a Wiki page for this somewhere? Or should I just open a bug/rfe? The feature I'd like to see: It would be nice if the Admin page had an indication either on the VMs page or in the left navigation frame when everything is in place for starting VMs. Here's an example scenario to illustrate why this would be useful: Every morning I power up my Engine and Host machines. The first thing I have to do is Activate my Host, and then monitor it while it comes up, Contends and eventually assumes SPM responsibility. Then I can change to the tab with my VMs and start up the one(s) I need, and open their consoles. But I have to watch the Host tab until SPM is established, because when looking at the VMs page there's no indication whether they can be started up yet or not. Nothing unless I try to start one, and get a pop-up error. Additional useful features: Is there any way to cause a VM to automatically power on as soon as oVirt is ready to do so? Is there any way to cause a console to automatically open up as soon as a VM is started? -Bob ___ Users mailing list Users@ovirt.org http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users
Re: [Users] Best way to request a new feature?
Thanks. I decided the first issue is really a bug. There should really be a different VM indication for: - Powered down, vs - System not ready to start up VMs https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1062745 I realize this is one of those gray areas of This behavior is by design while the severity of this makes it more like a flaw than a missing feature I think. You can watch the VM tab forever during oVirt host startup and never know when the VMs are actually ready to start up. I opened an RFE for auto-starting VMs once oVirt becomes ready, and auto-opening consoles for VMs at startup: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1062740 In theory this could be separated into two RFEs.

Re: [Users] Timezone Hypervisor/VM
I'll be happy to try a patch, if you can deliver it in a convenient way for me to install. The bug comments and synopsis are misleading so at first I didn't think this was it. The bug specifically says Time is off by exactly 1 or 3 hours, depending on VM and the synopsis says time is off by as much as 3 hrs. My time is currently 4 hours off (I think it was 5 before Daylight Savings Time). The release note text states the issue correctly though, I think. The only thing giving me any doubt is that all my non-Windows VMs are fine. The problem is isolated to Windows guests. -Bob On 02/06/2014 01:43 PM, Dan Kenigsberg wrote: On Thu, Feb 06, 2014 at 12:46:38PM -0500, Bob wrote: I have the same issue.
