Displaying SPICE on the VM network for RHEV 3.4

For more information, do take a look at my blog Displaying SPICE on the VM network for RHEV 3.4

The key issue is that after after selecting the network to house the "Display Network", do remember to boot all the VMs

Using log collector in RHEV 3.3 and above to collect full log

The Log Collector Utility for RHEV 3 is located in /usr/bin/rhevm-log-collector and is provided by the rhevm-log-collector package installed on the RHEV manager system.

 1. To collect all the information, use command

# engine-log-collector
INFO: Gathering oVirt Engine information...
INFO: Gathering PostgreSQL the oVirt Engine database and log files from localhost...
Please provide the REST API password for the admin@internal oVirt Engine user (CTRL+D to skip):
About to collect information from 1 hypervisors. Continue? (Y/n): y
INFO: Gathering information from selected hypervisors...
INFO: collecting information from 192.168.50.56
INFO: finished collecting information from 192.168.50.56
Creating compressed archive...

2. To collect information from selected hosts ending with ending in .11 and .15

# engine-log-collector --hosts=*.11,*.15

3. To collect information from the RHEV-M only

# engine-log-collector --no-hypervisors

Create export domain or ISO Domain on RHEV 3

This is taken from Red Hat Portal How to create an export domain or iso domain? (Need customer access) On the NFS, you need to do the following

# mkdir /export/data
# chown -R 36:36 /export/data
# chmod 755 /export/data
# vim /export_data
/export/data *(rw)
# /etc/init.d/nfs restart
# chkconfig nfs on

The key setup is that the ownership must be given vdsm kvm (36:36). Or you will have errors like "Error while executing action Add Storage Connection: Problem while trying to mount target"

# mkdir /export/ISO 
# chown -R 36:36 /export/ISO 
# chmod 755 /export/ISO 
# vim /export/ISO /export/ISO *(rw) 
# /etc/init.d/nfs restart 
# chkconfig nfs on
