manipulating VM configuration via Python SDK disables serial console
by Denis Karpov 10 May '19

10 May '19

Hello, I have hit what seems to be a bug in oVIrt Python SDK, when deploying OpenStack 14 (Rocky) in configuration virtualized controllers, oVirt VMs; Ironic oVirt driver is used in this case, which uses oVirt Python SDK to talk to manipulate VMs. The driver seem to work in such a way that at certain stages it retrieves a VM configuration and updates it (e.g. changes the boot device). However during such update some other changes in configuration of the VM happen: e.g. if the VM had VirtIO serial console enabled, after the update that serial console becomes disabled. Perhaps when a VMs config is updated some XML fields of its configuration are not written back as they should be? We have noticed that since the OpenStack deployment fails on controllers if it cannot output to the serial console. I would appreciate any help/workaround for this issue. Thanks, Denis

SATA interface?
by Hetz Ben Hamo 09 May '19

09 May '19

Hi, It looks like the Q35 chipset has SATA support for CDROM, but not for virtual hard disk. In many OS's/Appliances - there is no way to use virtio disks, and I can either use the extremly slow IDE with 440FX or nothing else. on Virt-Manager though, you can choose a SATA hard disk. So, is it possible to add the SATA support back for hard drives please?

Fedora 29 support?
by Nir Soffer 08 May '19

08 May '19

Fedora 28 will be EOL in few month, and at this point people are migration to Fedora 29. I tried yesterday to build engine development setup on Fedora 29 VM, and found that it does not work: - some packages are missing on engine side - after hacking the ovirt.repo files, pointing to "28" instead of "$releasever", I got the packages... - but then adding a host fail with "Python is missing" on the host, which is working Fedora 28 host used with engine before. What are our plans for supporting Fedora 29 on engine and host? I hope that the work we did for Fedora 28 will make it easier to port to Fedora 29. Nir

Thin provisioning??
by Hetz Ben Hamo 02 May '19

02 May '19

Hi, I've migrated few Linux VM's from virt-manager to oVirt. Other than the famous bug that it insist to have an ISO domain - it worked well. My problem is simple: on virt-manager, I created the virtual disks as thin provisioning. ls -l shows the full size of the QCOW2 file and du -hs shows the actual size. So far, so good. After migrating those VM's to oVirt, the disks appear both in the web UI and in the meta file as "Thin Provisioning" and "sparse" - however, digging into the directory which holds the virtual disk and running du -hs - shows it's a full size disk. Why is this happening? (the storage on the oVirt is NFS)
