cannot add amd and intel cpu type hosts in the same cluster
by kishorekumar.goli＠gmail.com
Hi Team,
We have hosts with intel and amd cpu types.
We would like to know if there is a possibility to use both cpu types in the same cluster in ovirt.
cpu types: AMD EPYC, Intel Haswell Family.

fetch engine's version
by Diggy Mc
Is there a command I can run on the engine to retrieve the engine's version number?
I ask because I am writing a bash script to automatically backup the engine database via the 'engine-backup' command and would like to include the engine's current version number with the backup.
A response is greatly appreciated.

Re: remote-viewer VNC mode issue
by Patrick Hibbs
Hello,
Apperently, VNC with TLS enabled is the default. At the very
least I don't remember ever enabling it.
Attempting to disable it as a quick test, by altering
/etc/libvirt/qemu.conf and setting vlc_tls=0 fixes it. So I guess, I'll
need to disable it at the cluster level for a permanent fix. (And then
reinstall the hosts....)
After seeing the previous reply, I figured that the "direct
connection to the VM host" meant the VNC connection would be using TLS.
SPICE "Just Works(TM)" with TLS enabled, but for VNC it requires a TLS
cert to be installed on the ovirt host servers. And of course, the
default is the internal engine CA. With no easy way to override it.
(I.e. The new cert config won't survive a host reinstall / upgrade.)
Which defeats the entire purpose of having a third party CA for end-
user connections. I guess we'll have to disable this method of VM
console access for now, and rely on noVNC until the cert issue gets
fixed.
I'm not sure that the user mailing list is the place for
feature requests, but just in case and to avoid criticizing without
offering a solution, I would love some mechanism in the web interface
to upload a new third party CA cert for the hosts to use with end-user
requests. (VNC, image io proxy, cockpit, etc.) The internal engine CA
could even be used to secure those cert updates. (As the engine itself
could prompt the hosts to install the new cert via VDSM or something.
Even better that method wouldn't require a host reinstall to finish.)
That would simplify managment and renewal of the certs. As the
operation could be delegated / restricted to users with a specific
permission, (like with the VM permissions), and prevent us from needing
to manually configure things in a text file. (The engine host could use
this also.)
Thanks for the suggestions everyone.

Is vulnerable log4j package necessary in my ovirt repo?
by Henry lol
Hello,
I found that the vulnerable log4j-2.13.0-1 package is in oVirt
repository, but not installed even after the oVirt setup.
So, I want to remove that package from my private oVirt repository if
it's not necessary.
but I'm not sure what will happen by doing so. Is there any side effects?

After update nodectl reports host as degraded
by Giorgio Biacchi
Hi all,
I've got this minor issue a couple of times so far after updating Ovirt
node hosts from the UI.
The update is done corrctly but after the final reboot I have to login
via ssh and manually fix the issue with these commands:
[root@host01 ~]# semodule -i
/usr/share/selinux/packages/ovirt-vmconsole/ovirt_vmconsole.pp
[root@host01 ~]# vdsm-tool configure
[root@host01 ~]# systemctl restart vdsmd
I have the same behavior on all my hosts running Ovirt Node. There's a
way to fix it properly?
Thanks

snapshot create fails - files not owned by vdsm:kvm
by tpike＠psc.edu
I've got an issue with one of my oVirt 4.3.10.4 clusters. OS is Centos 7.7, storage is glusterfs. Whenever I try to create a snapshot of any of my VMs, I get an (eventual) error:
VDSM track04.yard.psc.edu command HSMGetAllTasksStatusesVDS failed: Could not acquire resource. Probably resource factory threw an exception.: ()
After a bit of investigation, I believe that the root cause is that the snapshot file created is not owned by vdsm:kvm. Looking at the directories in glusterfs, I see that some of the disk images are owned by root:root, some are owned by qemu:qemu. In fact, if we watch the directory for the VM, we can actually see that the files are owned by vdsm:kvm when they are created, then get changed to qemu:qemu, then eventually get changed to being owned by root:root. This is entirely repeatable. Needless to say, oVirt can't read the disk images when they are owned by root, so that explains why the snapshot is failing. The question, then, is why the ownership is getting changed out from under the creation process. Checking the gluster volume info shows:
Volume Name: engine
Type: Replicate
Volume ID: 00951055-74b5-463a-84c0-59fa03be7478

I see that the owner UID and GID are correct (vdsm:kvm). Note that snapshots worked at one point in the past - I see that there are snapshot images from a year ago. Any ideas where to look to correct this? Thanks!
