Yaniv,
Thanks for your answers. Really appreciate this. As most of the vm’s (70 vm’s of a total of 80) are not running, the risk of getting out of physical disk space is low. The vm’s are pre-installed from a template, installed with application software and will only be powered on when needed. So most of the vm’s actually allocate no more than 5 GB of physical space (of a virtual size of 35GB). The actual used disk size of all vm’s is about 900GB, leaving 1900GB of free space of a total of 2800GB. The allocated disk space is around 3300GB, making an over allocation ratio of 125%. So in this special case ovirt will pause my vm’s if the ratio will exceed 125%, while still having plenty of physical disk space. You mentioned that it is possible to change the value to a larger value, but I could not find how to do this?

Almost all vms are using thin provisioning with a virtual size of 40GB and a typical physical size of 8 GB. Now I’m facing the fact that ovirt is pausing my vms due to the following event message: (Example): “VM vm_01_16_centos6 has been paused due to no Storage space error.” When I look at the iscsi storage domain the over allocation ratio value is about 127%, but of the 2799GB there is still more than 1500GB available. My questions: - Why ovirt is pausing the vms? We have a minimal amount of 1G needed to do storage related actions. - Can I enlarge the over allocation ratio before ovirt is complaining about storage space? In 3.6 you can change this threshold pre storage, but I would recommend against this. _______________________________________________ Users mailing list Users@ovirt.org http://lists.ovirt.org/mailman/listinfo/users
