You can use oVirt to manage -hardware nodes, storage and network resources, and to deploy and monitor virtual machines -running in your data center. oVirt serves as the bedrock for Red Hat''s Enterprise Virtualization product, -and is the "upstream" project where new features are developed in advance of their inclusion -in that supported product offering. - -To know more about ovirt please visit http://www.ovirt.org/ and to configure -#http://www.ovirt.org/Quick_Start_Guide#Install_oVirt_Engine_.28Fedora.29%60 - -For the installation step of ovirt, please refer -#http://www.ovirt.org/Quick_Start_Guide#Install_oVirt_Engine_.28Fedora.29%60 - -When oVirt integrated with gluster, glusterfs can be used in below forms: - -* As a storage domain to host VM disks. - -There are mainly two ways to exploit glusterfs as a storage domain. - - POSIXFS_DOMAIN ( >=oVirt 3.1 ) - - GLUSTERFS_DOMAIN ( >=oVirt 3.3) - -The former one has performance overhead and is not an ideal way to consume images hosted in glusterfs volumes. -When used by this method, qemu uses glusterfs `mount point` to access VM images and invite FUSE overhead. -The libvirt treats this as a file type disk in its xml schema. - -The latter is the recommended way of using glusterfs with ovirt as a storage domain. This provides better -and efficient way to access images hosted under glusterfs volumes.When qemu accessing glusterfs volume using this method, -it make use of `libgfapi` implementation of glusterfs and this method is called native integration. -Here the glusterfs is added as a block backend to qemu and libvirt treat this as a `network` type disk. - -For more details on this, please refer # http://www.ovirt.org/Features/GlusterFS_Storage_Domain -However there are 2 bugs which block usage of this feature. - -https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1022961 -https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1017289 - -Please check above bugs for latest status. - -* To manage gluster trusted pools. - -oVirt web admin console can be used to - - - add new / import existing gluster cluster - - add/delete volumes - - add/delete bricks - - set/reset volume options - - optimize volume for virt store - - Rebalance and Remove bricks - - Monitor gluster deployment - node, brick, volume status, - Enhanced service monitoring (Physical node resources as well Quota, geo-rep and self-heal status) through Nagios integration(>=oVirt 3.4) - - - -When configuing ovirt to manage only gluster cluster/trusted pool, you need to select `gluster` as an input for -`Application mode` in OVIRT ENGINE CONFIGURATION option of `engine-setup` command. -Refer # http://www.ovirt.org/Quick_Start_Guide#Install_oVirt_Engine_.28Fedora.29%60 - -If you want to use gluster as both ( as a storage domain to host VM disks and to manage gluster trusted pools) -you need to input `both` as a value for `Application mode` in engine-setup command. - -Once you have successfully installed oVirt Engine as mentioned above, you will be provided with instructions -to access oVirt''s web console. - -Below example shows how to configure gluster nodes in fedora. - - -#Configuring gluster nodes. - -On the machine designated as your host, install any supported distribution( ex:Fedora/CentOS/RHEL...etc). -A minimal installation is sufficient. - -Refer # http://www.ovirt.org/Quick_Start_Guide#Install_Hosts - - -##Connect to Ovirt Engine - -Log In to Administration Console - -Ensure that you have the administrator password configured during installation of oVirt engine. - -- To connect to oVirt webadmin console - - -Open a browser and navigate to https://domain.example.com/webadmin. Substitute domain.example.com with the URL provided during installation - -If this is your first time connecting to the administration console, oVirt Engine will issue -security certificates for your browser. Click the link labelled this certificate to trust the -ca.cer certificate. A pop-up displays, click Open to launch the Certificate dialog. -Click `Install Certificate` and select to place the certificate in Trusted Root Certification Authorities store. - - -The console login screen displays. Enter admin as your User Name, and enter the Password that -you provided during installation. Ensure that your domain is set to Internal. Click Login. - - -You have now successfully logged in to the oVirt web administration console. Here, you can configure and manage all your gluster resources. - -To manage gluster trusted pool: - -- Create a cluster with "Enable gluster service" - turned on. (Turn on "Enable virt service" if the same nodes are used as hypervisor as well) -- Add hosts which have already been set up as in step Configuring gluster nodes. -- Create a volume, and click on "Optimize for virt store",This sets the volume tunables optimize volume to be used as an image store - -To use this volume as a storage domain: - -Please refer `User interface` section of www.ovirt.org/Features/GlusterFS_Storage_Domain |
