Re: [External] : Importing VMs from CentOS 8 Streams to Oracle 8.9 oVirt (QXL issues)
by Gilboa Davara
Hello,
Thanks for the prompt reply.
Can I somehow modify the VM configuration on disk (v5 data storage on an
NFS share) before importing the VM (using Storage domain / NFS / VM import).
Alternatively can I somehow get OLVM to ignore the error when trying to
import the VM, and use the UI to switch VGA/VNC?

Importing VMs from CentOS 8 Streams to Oracle 8.9 oVirt (QXL issues)
by Gilboa Davara
Hello all,
I'm evaluating switching our existing oVirt clusters to Oracle Linux 8
oVirt 4.5.
It seems that Oracle has completely disabled QXL/Spice (leaving only VGA
and Cirrus) on their oVirt fork (1).
I'm trying to import a VM from an existing oVirt data storage into an
Oracle cluster, but I'm getting
'VAR__ACTION__IMPORT,VAR__TYPE__VM,ACTION_TYPE_FAILED_ILLEGAL_VM_DISPLAY_TYPE_IS_NOT_SUPPORTED_BY_OS'
error.
Comparing the spice-related packages in Oracle and CentOS based oVirt
installation, I see no changes.
Two questions:
1. Can I somehow enable QXL support in Oracle oVirt?
2. Assuming I can't, can I somehow editing the VM configuration without
mounting in a temporary CentOS based cluster, editing the configuration and
reimporting it into Oracle?
Thanks,
Gilboa

Hi Everyone,

Hi,
I've installed the ovirt manager on top of the oVirt node. For some reason the node went to offline and unable to start the ovrit manager.
Do we have option to enable the auto start of the ovrit manager and can I able to connect the console of the ovirt node try to power on the VM?

i can't access console with noVNC or VNC client(console.vv)
by z84614242＠163.com
i installed the ovirt 4.5 engine on centos stream 9 and add a ovirt node(ovirt node 4.5 iso) to this engine. i am going to run my vm on this node. i follow the instruction to create the data center, the cluster, the storage domain, upload the image. everything is fine. and after i create a vm with ubuntu image attach, i found that i can't visit the console. when i using the noVNC, it says "Something went wrong, connection is closed", when i visit vnc with virt-viewver, is says "Failed to complete handshake Error in the pull function". i try to change the console type to Bochs one and it appear the same. i change to QXL mode and the vm can't start any more. i check the log, it says "unsupported configuration: domain configuration does not support video model 'qxl'".
so now i can't visit my vm by anyway. i deploy the engine follow the official instruction and keep mostly option default but why still have this issue. why the noVNC says "Something went wrong" instead of telling me what is actually wrong

Migrating Engine to a new host
by Fabrice Bacchella
To upgrade both hardware and software for the engine, I will move it to a different physical server, with a different hostname.
The HTTP interface to manage it is handled by my own PKI, so I managed it myself and don’t request help from oVirt.
But I wonder if there is other trap that I will need to check. Will old hosts accept communication for a new engine once I will have migrated the database ?
