ovirt-engine CI failing after the recent translation update
by Milan Zamazal 09 Jun '21

09 Jun '21

Hi Scott, ovirt-engine CI is failing, see https://jenkins.ovirt.org/blue/organizations/jenkins/ovirt-engine_standard-… The error is: UIMessagesTest.doTest:15 approveCertificateTrust does not match the number of parameters in UIMessages_cs_CZ.properties ... Indeed, it seems the recently merged translation patch has dropped "{3}" from approveCertificateTrust. Could you please fix it so that ovirt-engine CI works again? Thanks, Milan

OST using FIPS-enabled images
by Michal Skrivanek 09 Jun '21

09 Jun '21

Hi all, just a heads up in case something comes up. The OST runs that we’re performing in CI will now use images that are installed with “fips=1” kernel parameter that sets them up to comply with FIPS 140-2. We recently fixed all the known issues in oVirt around this, so hopefully it should all just work. We will not be testing non-fips setups separately, those should be “easier” and less likely to break, so with testing only fips we should cover breakage in both. Thanks, michal

engine-setup fail with: ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: '8MB'
by Nir Soffer 06 Jun '21

06 Jun '21

I tried to install engine from rpms on my development host. This host was running engine development setup (using make install-dev) for a couple of months. Building the rpms was successful, but engine-setup failed: 2021-06-03 23:37:41,370+0300 DEBUG otopi.context context._executeMethod:145 method exception Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/otopi/context.py", line 132, in _executeMethod method['method']() File "/usr/share/ovirt-engine/setup/bin/../plugins/ovirt-engine-setup/ovirt-engine/provisioning/postgres.py", line 192, in _ misc self._provisioning.provision() File "/usr/share/ovirt-engine/setup/ovirt_engine_setup/engine_common/postgres.py", line 541, in provision transaction=localtransaction, File "/usr/share/ovirt-engine/setup/ovirt_engine_setup/engine_common/postgres.py", line 276, in _updatePostgresConf needUpdate, content = dbovirtutils.getUpdatedPGConf(content) File "/usr/share/ovirt-engine/setup/ovirt_engine_setup/engine_common/database.py", line 1163, in getUpdatedPGConf expected=item['expected'] File "/usr/share/ovirt-engine/setup/bin/../plugins/ovirt-engine-setup/ovirt-engine/db/configuration.py", line 136, in <lambd a> int(current) >= int(expected) ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: '8MB' 2021-06-03 23:37:41,372+0300 ERROR otopi.context context._executeMethod:154 Failed to execute stage 'Misc configuration': invalid literal for int() with base 10: '8MB' 8MB sounds familiar - this value was recommended in README.adoc: work_mem = 8MB So I configured postgresql.conf like this. I edited /var/lib/pgsql/data/postgresql.conf and change the value to: work_mem = 8388608 After that engine-setup succeeded. Looks like a bug, our verification does not support the valid configuration that we recommend. Nir

[RFE] Add 'comment' field for VM checkpoint entity 1 4.4.8 The following have also been requested without references to bugzilla: please review and open RFEs as needed. - Configure Engine Firewall through oVirt GUI - Provide easier way to make oVirt VM-portal (if engine is set up in internal network) publicly avalible. lxc containers Remove requirement to update compatibility version of a VM prior to RHV-M upgrade I would like to see better integration with vGPU and virtual infiniband passthru interfaces, mostly the ability to easily 'cold migrate' or clone VMs between servers with same type vGPU and virtual infiniband passthru where the VM itself doesn't care if the infiniband hardware address changed or that its running on another gpu card, just so it is similar enough to function when powered up without having to manually dig through the VM config to figure out what is being passed thru and manually reconfiguring it, shutdown and restart. vGPU is hiding under edit VM custom properties with no way to see the vgpu options there, and infiniband is under host devices in a completely different part of the engine UI. Migrating VMs between hosts is one of the best features of oVirt, but it completely breaks in this advanced hardware use case. Backup tool, better interface performance, updates HE without damaging snapshot UI improvements, Vmware to Ovirt migration tool enhancement, support Amazon linux guest operating system support iops monitoring, local storage in shared clusters,... Nodes non dependent of engine. With this in case of engine crash, it is possible manage the hosts and VMS without engine dependency. iScsi Multipath Better UI improvement - Like Cloudstack Primate Backup and replication solution Node VM management UI and minimal configuration Monitoring and orchestration, cloud layer Improve error log messages - Some of the errors in the event log are really hard to troubleshoot. Often I have found rebooting my oVirt engine has fixed issues. A documented way to change the management network for HostedEngine Enviroments Was very happy with Ovirt. Gluster integration was weak but usable. Stable CentOS future unreliable/unsure. Backup management via gui 1) Manage local/ephimeral storage natively just like in vSphere and Proxmox without using an hook 2) Ability to choose which Storage Domain attach to which cluster like in vSphere (and not all SDs attached to all hosts in the DC) 3) Use OVS switch natively instead of Linux Bridge and implement OVS features 4) extend OVN capabilities (like NAT) natively without Neutron dependencies and add a graphical representation of the physical/logical networks like in OpenStack 5) add S3 as external provider for both import and export -- Sandro Bonazzola MANAGER, SOFTWARE ENGINEERING, EMEA R&D RHV Red Hat EMEA <https://www.redhat.com/> sbonazzo(a)redhat.com <https://www.redhat.com/> *Red Hat respects your work life balance.
