It seemed to be a requirement to attach a VM nic to a different bridge than the currently defined bridge. Also, ovirt is not compatible with openvswitch to pick those bridges and attach a VM nic. I have written a vdsm hook which will help you to achieve this. The functionality has been pushed to …
Ah… I would say it ruined my day 🙂 I updated my fedora system from fedora 18 to 19 as mentioned in my previous post ( https://www.humblec.com/smooth-upgrade-from-fedora-18-to-fedora-19/ ) and was trying to play with VMs via virt-manager. How-ever virt-manager showed a window with title ‘Searching for available hypervisors’ and keep showing it indefinitely. I waited …
Hmm.. I tried lkvm or Native Linux KVM tool in past and was watching the patches coming into this space for this period. Its improved a lot from the time I first noticed it. Today I decided to try native linux KVM tool again and here is the story. First of all, let me point …
I have seen reports saying that – under some scenarios, the KVM guest system reports I/O errors in its ‘dmesg’ against virtio block devices and also, some times it cause the filesystems inside the guest to go ‘READONLY’ mode. Tracking such issues are a bit difficult and its a pain. I believe we should make …
First of all this is my guest system layout. There is a disk called ‘vda’ where my guest filesystem resides. IN GUEST Two guest logical volumes ‘fedora-swap’ and ‘fedora-root’ are created inside guest physical volume vda. Discard ‘fedora-swap’ for now. The physical volume layout is shown below: Now guest image is on a file in …
Is there a way to install ovirt manager/engine on an ovirt-node or hypervisor ? As of now, we have to install engine and get running before configuring ovirt nodes. How-ever this facility is being achieved by “Self Hosting Engine” feature of ovirt development. I will write more about it soon, till then refer# http://www.ovirt.org/Features/Self_Hosted_Engine Also …
Install ‘virt-p2v-image-builder’ package in your fedora system. I installed in fedora 18 . virt-p2v-image-builder-0.9.0-1.fc18.noarch Now, run ‘virt-p2v-image-builder ‘ commmand as shown below [cc] [root]# virt-p2v-image-builder Package ql2200-firmware is obsoleted by linux-firmware, trying to install linux-firmware-20130418-0.1.gitb584174.fc18.noarch instead Package ql23xx-firmware is obsoleted by linux-firmware, trying to install linux-firmware-20130418-0.1.gitb584174.fc18.noarch instead Package ql2100-firmware is obsoleted by linux-firmware, trying …
Open Virtualization Format (OVF) is an open-source standard for packaging and distributing virtual machines (VM) and it is platform independent.. You can watch/consider OVF as a container or a package which contains OVF descriptor. This container/package can be used to port any VMs to any vendor specific virt setups which support OVF. OVF is basically …
Some days back I was trying to start #virt-manager application from my fedora 18 system and got the error : The error details looked : Error starting Virtual Machine Manager: No D-BUS daemon running But when checking ‘dbus’ status I noticed, it’s up and running. then whats the issue? Later I found, I am able …
As I pointed out in previous posts, ovirt allows you to create a storage domain from glusterfs and help you to store virtual machines on it.. Till now in ovirt , the glusterfs or any other posixfs file system was used to store virtual machines by creating a storage domain selecting ‘VFS TYPE’ as ‘posixfs’. …
