Replacing failed disk in the software raid1

The disk /dev/sda is failing:
cat /proc/mdstat
Remove it from the raid:
cat /proc/mdstat
mdadm --manage /dev/md127 --fail /dev/sda1
mdadm --manage /dev/md126 --fail /dev/sda3
mdadm --manage /dev/md125 --fail /dev/sda2

after replacing the bad disk we should add the new one in to the raid:

dmsetup remove_all
sfdisk -d /dev/sdb | sfdisk /dev/sda
cat /proc/mdstat
mdadm --manage /dev/md127 --add /dev/sda1
mdadm --manage /dev/md126 --add /dev/sda3
mdadm --manage /dev/md125 --add /dev/sda2

Monitor the sync process:
watch cat /proc/mdstat

Every 2.0s: cat /proc/mdstat                                                                                                                                                                             Tue Jun 26 10:33:19 2018

Ovirt 4.2 clean up the image upload hanging process

After the upgrade, some of the hosts are not going to the maintenance mode.

In our case, it was a hanging process of image upload.

To clean the DB:

su – postgres

psql -d engine

select * from image_transfers;

if not empty

truncate image_transfers;

Now you can proceed w/o problems.

Ovirt upgrade from 4.1 to 4.2

yum clean all
yum install http://resources.ovirt.org/pub/yum-repo/ovirt-release42.rpm
yum-config-manager --save --setopt=ovirt-4.1-centos-gluster38.skip_if_unavailable=true
yum-config-manager --save --setopt=ovirt-centos-ovirt41.skip_if_unavailable=true



And finally:

yum update
