Adding Allon,

How did you remove the storage domain while having VMs?

Re: [ovirt-users] VM Template Error

[Shahar Havivi]

According to the log the the storage domain (where the disk is stored is
not exists)
StorageDomainDoesNotExist: Storage domain does not exist:
(u'2de6ad97-1f33-41e5-b021-bacec14ce6e4',)

Does all the storage domain active in your data center?
Did you move the disk or remove and added a different storage domain?

Re: [ovirt-users] VM Template Error

[Shahar Havivi]

its looks like vdsm complain that the image is not exists.
can you run the VM with no errors? (if the VM have more then one disk make
sure that its exists and accessible).

if all good please attach the full vdsm and engine log.

Re: [ovirt-users] Importing existing KVM hosts to Ovirt

[Shahar Havivi]

I am glad its works.
btw the vdsm user is exists you can see it in /etc/passwd but it have no
shell login so the ssh key generation will be in /var/ (which mean it may
not survive reboot).
the instruction for the ssh are for Xen but the instruction in the section
"importing-vm" are working for kvm as well.

 Shahar.

for more info about setting the vdsm user you can see this section:
https://www.ovirt.org/develop/release-management/features/virt/XenToOvirt/#importing-vm
its for importing from Xen hypervisiors but the ssh generation for vdsm
user is the same.

Hi,
There is a wiki page for importing VMs from other hypervisors here:
https://www.ovirt.org/develop/release-management/features/virt/virt-v2v-integration/

and specific for KVM from Libvirt the wiki page is in progress but you can

Re: [ovirt-users] Import KVM/libvirt VMs to oVirt 4.1 with External Provider

[Shahar Havivi]

When we try to do:
vol = conn.storageVolLookupByPath(disk['alias'])
e.g:
vol = conn.storageVolLookupByPath('/opt/wiki-uat/mediawiki-uat.img')
Libvirt raise an error:
"libvirtError: Storage volume not found: no storage vol with matching path"

e.g.: '/opt/wiki-uat/mediawiki-uat.img' is not exists
Please look if the path exists (via the host that the Libvirt Domains
exists).

 Shahar.

Re: [ovirt-users] Import KVM/libvirt VMs to oVirt 4.1 with External Provider

[Shahar Havivi]

Sorry for the miss leading message, its suppose to say that some of the
selected VMs cannot be imported.
This can be due to broken storage disk path or any other Libvirt parsing
error.
For more details you can look at the vdsm log (/var/log/vdsm/vdsm.log) and
see why we failed to parse Libvirt xml for each VM that is not in the right
list.

Re: [ovirt-users] Any simple way of migrating KVM machines to oVirt instances

[Shahar Havivi]

The best and easiest way is via the Import dialog as you saw in
'virt-v2v-integration' wiki page.
another way to do it and only for VMware (not KVM-Libvirt) is via the
virt-v2v utility with the option '-o rhev' which export the VM to oVirt
export domain and then you can import the VM to a data domain.

Re: [ovirt-users] cannot exceed maximum memory size

[Shahar Havivi]

its not related to bug 1425089 (which is upgrading cluster issue) but its
the same feature that cause this issue,
Jakub what do we have bug on that issue?

as for the default RAM limit you can find it via the engine-config tool:
$ engine-config -g VM32BitMaxMemorySizeInMB
$ engine-config -g VM64BitMaxMemorySizeInMB

Re: [ovirt-users] Exporting VM as ova

[Shahar Havivi]

They must have written it - as we did,
OVA is representation of current hypervisor virtual machine, it contains
OVF which is xml representation of the VM and binary disk files, the files
are the format of the specific hypervisor (Xen, VMWare or KVM).
We currently convert from VMWare and Xen on Rhel (not Citrix).
The main issue is to convert the disk from one hypervisor to another, we
use qemu-img to convert to qcow2 or raw disk format.

 Shahar.

Re: [ovirt-users] Importing an OVA appliance

[Shahar Havivi]

it should be in the vdsm host that you are trying to import from. (you have
the box to select host, the same host)

Re: [ovirt-users] Importing an OVA appliance

[Shahar Havivi]

Importing OVA to ovirt currently works only from VMWara OVA,
use VMs-Import-Import OVA
make sure that the OVA permissions are vdsm:kvm (36:36),
as for exporting to OVA its in progress.

Re: [ovirt-users] Export/Import Virtual Machcines

[Shahar Havivi]

Detach data-domain or using export domain is a good solution,
another one is to use "import" button from the VMs tab and use "Kvm (via
Libvirt)" as the source.
you will need to open Libvirt ports as described here:

Re: [ovirt-users] Import guest at rhv4.0.6 failed after convert a regular ova file by virt-v2v

[Shahar Havivi]

Yevgeny, please look why it fails on "isMacInRange"

Kun, you know that you can import ova directly instead of using virt-v2v to
export domain and then import to data domain,
you can do that from the VMs tab->Import-> and change the source to OVA.

Re: [ovirt-users] Import Virtual Machines From Web Admin GUI

[Shahar Havivi]

Hi,
you can try to exchange the keys shown here:
https://www.ovirt.org/develop/release-management/features/virt/XenToOvirt/

if you want to use tcp without ssh look here:
http://wiki.libvirt.org/page/Libvirt_daemon_is_not_listening_on_tcp_ports_although_configured_to
basically you need to set
 * /etc/libvirtd.conf:
listen_tls = 1
listen_tcp = 1
listen_addr = "0.0.0.0"
 *  /etc/sysconfig/libvirtd:
LIBVIRTD_ARGS="--listen"
and restart libvirt but the no_verify you did works as well.

Another workaround can import to NFS storage domain as thin-provision and
then copy the VM to your FC or SCSI domain and delete the VM from the NFS
domain.

Re: [ovirt-users] How can I import VMWare OVA file to oVirt 4.0?

[Shahar Havivi]

Hi,
I was able to import your VMs with storage domain that had 350GB free.
Your ova have a disk with 1GB actual size and 256 virtual size - when I try
to import to a storage with 50G I got the error that you had.

if you will look at /var/log/vdsm/import/... you will see the logs of each
import,
In the one that fail I found this line:
qemu-img: error while writing sector 423174528: No space left on device

virt-v2v try to convert via qemu-img the img from vmdk to qcow and
encountered free space issue in the storage domain.

Please consider asking the mailing list  libgues...@redhat.com about this
issue or try to increase your storage domain if you want a quick fix.

The reason that I think you where able to import via the virt-v2v command
is the usage of 'virt-v2v -o null' which is not writing to the disk.

Shahar.

Re: [ovirt-users] How can I import VMWare OVA file to oVirt 4.0?

[Shahar Havivi]

Thanks you,
Several questions:
1. did you try to import the disk target as preallocate?
2. did you try to import other ova files?
3. can you please send us version of virt-v2v, vdsm and engine and the os
that you are running with.
4. Is it possible for you to share the ova file?

Thank you,
 Shahar.

Ok
so try to import as preallocated and attach the log if you have any errors.

Re: [ovirt-users] How can I import VMWare OVA file to oVirt 4.0?

[Shahar Havivi]

What is the type of the target storage domain that you try to import
to?(nfs or iscsi)
if its iscsi try to change it to preallocate instead of thin-provision,
also please attach the engine log if you have more problems.

Re: [ovirt-users] OVA Import - Failed to convert VM

[Shahar Havivi]

Thanks Nate,
The Engine log is correct but the vdsm one is without the error, it maybe
the wrong host, the log that we expected is the one you named CTI04.
If you try to import again please make sure you select the right host in
the import dialog.

 Shahar.

Thank you,
We are working now on new method to fetch block devices and hope soon there
will be patch.
Once you select a VM and press the "Next" button you don't see any disks?
If so please send me the libvirt dumpxml via virsh.

With the latest patch you suppose to see the disks data but it may fail for
block device when you start the import.

Nelson, 
There is a new patch -
Please test it and if it fail can you send the vdsm error trace please.

Hi,

yes once you have the alias you are half way there.
but your alias path looks wrong, it starts with white-space:
'/  var/lib/libvirt/images/rhel7.1.img'

check it via 'virsh -r dumpxml '
and look if the white space are there two

regarding the pool you can check it too via virsh
virsh pool-list
and all pool-* commands (to create one), if you have problems building pool
let me know.

I assume that this line is failing:
vol = conn.storageVolLookupByPath(disk['alias'])
it may be the reason that the storage is not part of a pool.
(look at pool-xxx commands via virsh)

If it doesn't work it may be related to a different API that we will need to
implement as Tomas suggested in the gerrit patch.

Re: [ovirt-users] can't import vm from KVM host

[Shahar Havivi]

Hi Nelson,

Sorry for the long wait (I was on PTO).
I just test the patch with the following disk xml:








I did manage to see the disk with its actual size,
I was able to import the VM as well when I choose:
"Allocation Policy": "Preallocated"
(not the "Thin Provision" as is the default.
Currently we need to pre allocated kvm block disk and cannot use the thin
provision (we may need to disable it in the UI).

Did you try that?
It may related to the reason that the dev path you have is a /dev/mapper/ and
this is the reason that libvirt not returning the disk size? (Tomas?)

 Shahar.

Re: [ovirt-users] Import of exported VMware VM fails

[Shahar Havivi]

Check for permissions,
All the directory hierarchy and the images as well as the ovf needs to reached
by the vdsm user, its best to change the owner to vdsm:kvm (e.g. 36:36).

Yes,
This was the issue as well - seeing zero disks when the source VM had block 
disk devices.

Adding Nisim to verify it.

Good tests,
We need to figure out why libvirt refuse the connection,
try to debug virsh by running:

$ export LIBVIRT_LOG_OUTPUTS="1:file:/tmp/libvirt_client.log"
$ export LIBVIRT_DEBUG=1
$ virsh -c virsh -c ssh://192.168.1.40

and examing /tmp/libvirt_client.log file

Hi,
You don't need to try it on oVirt when 'virsh -c' doesn't work since oVirt try
to connect via libvirt libraries (same as virsh) before it called virt-v2v.

Did you follow all the steps in the wiki?
Are you able to ssh to the Xen server from the vdsm machine that you try to
run virsh without password? (ssh root@192.168.1.40)

First you need to be able to login via virsh (before trying to import via
oVirt).

I never encounter this error before,
I guess that nc is netcat...,
try to install nmap-ncat:
$ dnf info nmap-ncat

Adding Richard which may have more input.

What you are trying to do is as far as I understand is to use virt-v2v utility
to put the ova in export domain, there may be something wrong between the
virt-v2v output ovf and the oVirt engine.
You can try the new feature to import ova strait on oVirt admin portal (if you
already try that the forget it), go to the vms tab -> import and select
"vmware ova" from the select box...

Re: [ovirt-users] Import of ova failed

[Shahar Havivi]

The error looks like you have a problem in the storage pool which is null by
the log.

Please open a bug and specify the exact steps that you took,
ie.
1. $ virt-v2v -o rhev ...
2. goto the admin portal and try to view the VMs in the export domain
3. etc...

If you can attach the ova without the disk it will be great.

Shahar.

It may be in the DB...
Try to run this via psql:

select vm_name from vm_static where vm_name='wvm2';

and see if there is a result...

Richard is right,
you can try to use the import from VMWare to oVirt directly via the oVirt UI
which is under the VMs tab press on the "import" button menu and select VMWare
as the source.

First you need to look at vdsm log to see more details why it failed.

Try to run virt-v2v -i ova -o local to import the ova to local disk (see the
virt-v2v man page for more options) and see if that pass - the errors can be
more detailed there (it suppose to reflect the same error that you get in vdsm
log)., another options you can do is run virt-v2v in verbose mode (virt-v2v
-v).

We have a fixed upstream bug of that
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1293591

As a workaround you need to select oVirt DataCenter and not the default "Any
Data Center" (its in the upper gray panel).

How did you try to import via oVirt/virt-v2v?
Please specify the steps as well as the version of vmware (do you use a
cluster), the version of the vdsm hosts and logs will be nice.

Hi,
virt-v2v is not supporting "converting" kvm to kvm since there is no
real conversion going on.
However we do work on importing kvm VMs managed by libvirt and hopefully it
will be available in a month or two.

Ok,
try to see if you can update the mom* packages on the host and also what
version of vdsm and mom are you using?
vdsm log can be helpful.

Are you using virt-v2v command line?
If so a good place to ask is here: libgues...@redhat.com

Well it depend,
If you have a common initialization you can run cloud-init before sealing the
template, its more reasonable to create a template and run cloud-init on each
VM that created from this template.

Take a look at the permissions of the file...
What is the command that you are using?
if you are trying to use 'virt-v2v -o rhevm' to an export domain change the
file owner to 36:36

Please make sure that the file is the full sysprep file such as you can find
in /packaging/conf/sysprep/sysprep.w7 which is a windows 7 sysprep file.
You can leave the variables such as $OrgName$ which will be replaces (exept
from the variables that Alon mentioned which where the original problem).

 Still, the failure is weird.

 We'll need the exact flow in both cases (bootable is sda or sbd).
 Is this a new VM with new installations? An old VM?
 Are all the VMs based on the same template? If not what are the differences?
 Is it always EL6?
 What version are you using?
 
 Please add anything else that differentiate the two flows, and what's the

  Hello Vered.
  This is when doing an EL6 install. Disk 1 - which also has the bootable flag
  turned on in ovirt - sometime does not show up as SDA inside the OS. The
  secondary disk shows as SDA and the first disk shows as SDB. This is with
  both disks as virtio -scsi disks.
  Unfortunately this behaviour is not consistent, it does happen every now and
  then though.. A colleague hit this issue again last night.

Try to remove content and run the vm,
ie remove the runcmd: or some of it - try to use the xml with out CDATA maybe
you can pinpoint the problem that way...

you can use the custom script text box in oVirts cloud-init section,
there you can add any cloud-init section - adding files examples can be found

 Hi Shahar,
 
 Thank you for the reply.
 
 To be honest I knew for those scripts but I want to do it in automate
 fashion just like in that example that I put in my original message. I have
 tried to specify in params.Files class multiple files:
 
 vm_file1 = params.Files(file=[params.File(name = 'file1', content =
 file1_content, type_= 'PLAINTEXT')])
 vm_file2 = params.Files(file=[params.File(name = 'file2', content =
 file2_content, type_= 'PLAINTEXT')])
 
 and then give them as arguments to params.CloudInit _init_ constructor

 Hi list,

 I was wondering is there a way to add multiple files to a vm via
cloud-init
 using python SDK. I was able to add /etc/resolv.conf and
  additionally I
 would like to add config files for NICs (ifcfg-ethX) with appropriate
 values (ip,gw,netmask). I used an example given here:
 http://www.ovirt.org/Features/Cloud-Init_Integration . But
unfortunately I
 cannot do the same thing If I want to write multiple files to a vm in
 params.Action class.

 Thank you in advance!
you can use the custom script text box in oVirts cloud-init section,
there you can add any cloud-init section - adding files examples can be
found
here:
   
   
  http://cloudinit.readthedocs.org/en/latest/topics/examples.html#writing-out-arbitrary-files

   Hi Shahar,
  
   Thank you for the reply.
  
   To be honest I knew for those scripts but I want to do it in automate
   fashion just like in that example that I put in my original message. I
  have
   tried to specify in params.Files class multiple files:
  
   vm_file1 = params.Files(file=[params.File(name = 'file1', content =
   file1_content, type_= 'PLAINTEXT')])
   vm_file2 = params.Files(file=[params.File(name = 'file2', content =
   file2_content, type_= 'PLAINTEXT')])
  
   and then give them as arguments to params.CloudInit _init_ constructor
   (files=...)  just like in that example above but it seems that I am doing
   something wrong because it does not write multiple files - it writes only
   when you specify one file all right. The exception is Error: 'list'
  object
   has no attribute 'export' (I tried to specify those files as a list -
   files=[vm_file1,vm_file2]).
  
   Thanks for any help.

  Thanks,

 Hi Shahar,
 
 Granted. But the example in python
 http://www.ovirt.org/Features/Cloud-Init_Integration uses custom script :)
 I just want to know how to do the same thing in case when I want to write
 more than one file to a VM - and yes  - all those multiple files that I
 want to write are specified via custom scripts.
 
 From the link - (The Python SDK paragraph: scontent object holds the
 custom script):
 
  scontent = write_files:\n-   content: |\nsearch
 example.com\nnameserver 10.10.10.1\nnameserver
 10.10.10.2\npath: /etc/resolv.conf
 
 For example (and just for example), I want to write to /etc/issue and
 /etc/hosts not only /etc/resolv.conf. In essence, when vm goes to run-once
 mode I want to write more than one file to a vm via Python (using
 CloudInit) in automated fashion (and not touching oVirt GUI at all).
You don't need to use the GUI,
the sdks initialization have custom_script as string which is equivalent to
the text box that you see in the GUI, and you can put the same content there
(ie multiple files).
Is that sufficient enough?

 
 Thanks in advance!

 Branimir

 Hello:
 
 if one has already created a VM, with hostname, IP address etc, are you then 
 able to switch it to use cloud-init so that it reports back the IP address

You need to use run-once and select the initialization section (cloud-init
under linux sysprep under Windows).
The IP and the host name report back is not depended on cloud-init but on the
ovirt-engine that is running in the guest os.

 I spent a day with testing and went into two situations:
 - cloud-init set up everything except root password
 - cloud-init set up everything except network
 
 What does it mean? Let me explain:
 
 When I remove HWADDR from ifcfg-eth0 in template, everything works (network,
 ssh with key), but can't login through console or ssh with password. So I
 think it is not set.
I guess that if you cannot login via ssh/console cloud-init encounter some
problem and didn't set the password, this may be oVirts problem.
 
 When I forgot to remove HWADDR line, root password is set but network not
 work ofcourse. I added custom command with runcmd to remove this line and
 restart network - everything works. Stupid hack ...
 
 So root password cloud-init setting depends on network settings. Is this
 cloud-init bug?
I assume that we are talking about cloud-init 0.7.2,
What version of oVirt are you using?
I will try to reproduce it with rhel/fedora.

 Hello,
 
 so, first for Centos 6.5.
 
 I made a template with steps from
 http://www.ovirt.org/Quick_Start_Guide:
 
 touch /.unconfigured
 rm -rf /etc/ssh/ssh_host_*
 
 After starting system created from my template it stops on set new root
 password, I must set something (may be empty) and then shows up
 authconfig-tui, must confirm.
This may be an instruction from cloud-init to root password that it must
change password, look at /etc/cloud-init/ for the config file - there is some
entry for must_change_password...

 
 After this cloud-init set everything ok - network, hostname,
 authorized_keys, root password. To have network working, must set network in
 Initial Run to eth1, not eth0. So it is good to remove ifcfg-eth0 from
 template. But works.
 
 Bad thing is that stop on root password and authconfig-tui. I think it is
 some issue with unconfigured state, not with cloud-init - but don't know.
 
 cloud-init-0.7.4-2.el6.noarch from epel, don't know simple way to downgrade.

There is a fix for that in 3.5...

You may be able to do that with cloud-init custom-script section,
The following link will show you how to add a file to the client, you may write 
a code
that change the partition table, you need to make the file executable and put
it in a init section (such as /etc/init.d sections), the only problem is that
it may be too late since cloud-init may be loaded after that phase... (so
maybe other place...)

Another option is to set a command under this section:

 I have created template from vm which have cloud init package in it also m 
 using rhev 3.4.
 Do i need to use payload method if so please provide me the proper code for 
 both -for passing payload through code in url and the payload file sample
 
 can anyone plz tell me how to do it?
Take a look here:
http://www.ovirt.org/Features/Cloud-Init_Integration

Make sure that you are adding to the http header Content-Type=Application/xml

vm
 ...
 initialization
  cloud_init
  host
 addresscloudInitInstanceName/address
  /host

  Well,
  
  the guest-agent has no dependency on 3.5
  as I'm actually running it on production debian vms :)
  it's an entire different repository, so I don't see the link
  between guest-agent and engine release.
 
 one thing i that you're using it another thing to sort of officially declare 
 it as supported. 
 In this particular case - do you need the icon in user portal? If not you can 
 just go ahead and drop in your own property file into 
 /etc/ovirt-engine/osinfo.conf/ (I think) with those few lines for Debian (or 
 anything else) and you're all set. Just remove it on upgrade to 3.5
 Would it work for you?
 
  
  I'll surely help testing these things as much as I can :)
 
 Shahar, would you please post the backport for

If you don't see any VMs it mean that the user that you logged in with don't

The README file under the folder /python project should help,
you need to set the right values in ovirt.conf, run the server ./Broker.py
(which is a local web-server) open the browser and type http://localhost:8000/

  The data you submit to cloud-init, gets merged into an iso file

  usually this is /dev/sr1
 
  try to mount it this way in your vm:
 
  mount -t iso9660 /dev/sr1 /mnt/
  then you should be able to see the folder:
  /mnt/openstack/
 
  inside this folder all cloud-init data should
  be available in human readable form (most of it is json)
 
  if you do not got this cd-rom inside your vm, this means
  ovirt was not able to push the cloud-init data inside

  in this case, there should be some errors in vdsm.log and engine.log

Hi,

You can try first to put the url in a web browser and you will be prompt for

Try that first and see if all the parameters are set correctly.

Also adding Juan maybe he have other idea.

 The following code is used for displaying the vms

 Could you please check it if any issues with it ? Also is it necessary to

Re: [ovirt-users] Issues in IP Assigning using API

[Shahar Havivi]

When you run the VM with cloud-init you get a cdrom with the cloud-init
content.
Try to mount the cdrom something like:
$ mount /dev/sr1 mydir
and look at the content of the network file at:
$ cat mydir/openstack/content/

 The IP assigning from the ovirt panel using cloud init is working fine, so
 i think there may not be any issues with the cloud init version and cent

 any other settings need to do to work it with the REST Api calls ?
What do you mean only from REST API, does it work fine from the UI?

  if you got any CentOS version  6.5

  cloud-init version 0.7.2 as this version
