Re: [ovirt-users] Windows Product Activation

My “not relevant” response may be relevant now
Snapshot that server before and run your tests over and over. If you hit the 
limit you can restore the snapshot.  That’s what I was trying to explain.  If 
you hit the rearm limit without a backup to restore you are going to be in a 
tough place.

Are there any events in the event log (usually Application Log entries under 
Source: Software Licensing Service) similar to this (this error is unrelated, 
just example of event log) - https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/921471 
<https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/921471>
I would consider reporting this to Microsoft, I am unaware of 2008 R2 having 
this behavior (I have seen 2008 R2 used on KVM and libvirt for openstack 
without issue and be migrated).

Under Edit Virtual Machine -> System -> (Advanced Parameters) there is a Custom 
CPU Type you may be able to set, are all the hosts in the same cluster?

Re: [ovirt-users] Windows Product Activation

[Tom Gamull]

Something is triggering the activation that windows is detecting as a change in 
hardware. I’ve not had this problem on 2012 or past versions, you’ll usually 
encounter it when changing the hardware drivers (such as converting from 
physical to virtual).  Generally you want to install compatible drivers (like 
the ovirt windows guest tools).  A good practice though is to snapshot before 
you make a change such as drivers in case you need to set the activation key.
For Desktops in VDI when you use a gold image, you generally make a snapshot 
before activation - see here for an answer - 
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/25c4c85c-c8a9-4316-8bfa-d3b7848e6dc6/microsoft-vdi-collections-and-activation?forum=winserver8setup

what kind of activation keys are you using? Do you have  KMS server?

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

[Tom Gamull]

I'm not going to lie I never had much luck. I end up using qemu-img convert on 
the command line to convert a vmdk to a raw file. The ova should just be a 
compressed file. Plenty of blogs on this. 

I know that's not the answer you're looking for but if you run out of options 
you can do this. Look for articles on converting vmdk or ova or qcow2. You will 
need to create the vm in advance. Then check the image name on the storage 
subtab. Then do a find for it. 
Find / -name [long name here]

I've had virtual appliances built for kvm just not work (like Citrix 
Netscaler). Using the esx appliance and doing the steps above it works on 
ovirt/rhev. I am not speaking for ovirt or red hat here though, just as someone 
who muddled through

Re: [ovirt-users] oVirt Hosted Engine Deployment Issues (and fixed!)

[Tom Gamull]

I had some similar issues (also with IPV6 which I haven’t retried lately).  I 
ended up double checking /etc/resolv.conf and just dropping an entry there and 
also ensuring the name servers were present in the ifcfg files.  This did the 
trick.  Depending on how you configure LACP, sometimes the DNS seems to 
magically disappear when ovirt creates the ovirtmgmt bridge interface.  If you 
are having an issue, it’s likely that interface.

The other thing that “may” be occurring is IPv6 is being used for DNS and you 
don’t have an IPv6 DNS server (or it’s not routing correctly).  You can verify 
that by disabling IPv6 (you have to use sysctl, ifcfg options won’t completely 
do it). If that works, then IPv6 was the issue.

Re: [ovirt-users] failed to activate a (gluster) host. ovirt 4.0.4

[Tom Gamull]

This is pointing to network connectivity issues

You can look at logs under /var/logs/ovirt-*

Check your dns and make sure the hosts can connect to each other.  You can 
restart the host, mark it as restarted in the manager and then activate it.

Worst case, you can remove it using hosted-engine commands

Re: [ovirt-users] Using Local Harddisks on the Host for Storage Domains

[Tom Gamull]

I’ve done the same. You may get some shutdown issues with this approach on 
sanlock so if this is more of a home lab and you shutdown a lot sometimes the 
following helps

systemctl stop ovirt-ha-agent ovirt-ha-broker
systemctl stop vdsmd
systemctl stop sanlock
systemctl stop nfs
systemctl power off

The sanlock will take a while
Sometimes I’ve also had to manually mount the volumes under /rhev/…

YMMV

Re: [ovirt-users] unsupported configuration: Unable to find security driver for model selinux

[Tom Gamull]

This should work but that is a little strange (I’m copying from the suggested 
action)
-
If you believe that qemu-kvm should be allowed getattr access on the 
a3f29de7-c6b9-410e-b635-9b3016da7ba2 lnk_file by default.
Then you should report this as a bug.
You can generate a local policy module to allow this access.
Do
allow this access for now by executing:
# grep qemu-kvm /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol
# semodule -i mypol.pp
———

It looks like the qemu-kvm is having access issues on lnk files.

Could you try the above action on node69-02 and see if that resolves the issue? 
It may be a bug.

Re: [ovirt-users] unsupported configuration: Unable to find security driver for model selinux

[Tom Gamull]

Can you set it to permissive and run
sealart -a /var/log/audit/audit.log

you may need to install selinux tools

Re: [ovirt-users] vlan tagging issue

[Tom Gamull]

Can you eliminate the switch or port config as the issue?  I’m a little unclear 
as to how you configured the nodes I have basically use a single NIC (some are 
LACP bonds) with a GENERAL link type (not TRUNK or ACCESS) where there is a 
default VLAN (which I don’t tag) and the rest of the VLANs are tagged.  On my 
switch (TP-LINK) I have to go to the VLANs and say TAG on all of them except 
the DEFAULT one.  I couldn’t get TRUNK working even with one untagged and the 
rest tagged. For me, using GENERAL was the way I did it.

I’m not a networking except on hardware but this discussion may clarify.  I 
have no idea why TRUNK didn’t work over GENERAL and didn’t spend much more time 
than that but here’s a discussion on the topic 
https://supportforums.cisco.com/discussion/11897946/general-vs-trunk-mode

Re: [ovirt-users] Documentation

[Tom Gamull]

The docs do suck but I would challenge you to submit a pull request.  It’s a 
pain if you haven’t done github forks and pull requests.  However, if you do 
this and it doesn’t get merged, you have every right to complain and I’ll be 
behind you 100%.  I’ve been in your shoes and just recently started helping in 
little bits on some projects.

If you can fork the documents, change them to include your notes, I’d be happy 
to hand hold or explain how to do the pull request (think merging your changes 
back). you can even email me direct if needed.
