It’s back now – the issue is we’ve been testing it for the past year to year 
and a half to eventually move into production starting immediately with about 
100 VM’s. My concern is if there’s a break in connectivity to storage, nic 
failure, switch failure or some other issue, oVirt goes berserk and it feels 
like hours just to get the VM’s started back up.



At first I had to force umount the stale connections, that’s fine with a few 
hosts, but we’re planning to have a large number of hosts and storage domains 
and doing that across 10, 20, 40, 50 or large number of hypervisors manually 
would be an issue.

Nope, the browser locks up (all browsers) – the cursor goes from the little 
hand cursor to the default pointer from the OS – can’t click anything, tabs 
aren’t responsive etc. I can refresh the browser and get back in however, once 
I click something, it does the same thing.

Does this disable the whole dashboard completely? IE can’t shutdown/boot VM’s 
etc or is the dashboard.json controlling something else?



All that said, I am testing at the moment with a single storage device – all 
flash, CentOS7 plain NFS – a yum update is what caused the break in storage 
resulting in everything going haywire. I was able to get the main storage (3 
domains, mapped to the same server for testing) by deleting the checksum in the 
meta file.



Ideally, my final tests would be with multiple storage devices however, I’m out 
of rack space for a few more days so I can only finish testing with the single 
nas at the moment. Perhaps the single nas could be the root of the problem as 
oVirt seems to always want some domain up to make the master.

Define insanely slow, is it putting up the spinner for loading? If so you can
switch tabs while its doing its thing.

Its not a known issue, but if you need to get at the VMs right now and the
dashboard is in your way, you can always disable the UI plugin that adds it.
But I suspect there is some other issue that is causing the problem.

In /share/ovirt-engine/ui-plugins there should be a file called
dashboard.json, rename it to something that doesn't end in json and reload the
webadmin, that should disable the dashboard.
