New Setup - hosts - are not synchronized with their Logical Network configuration: ovirtmgmt.
by morgan cox
Hi
After installing new hosts they show as status 'up'. however I get a warning such as
Host ng2-ovirt-kvm4's following network(s) are not synchronized with their Logical Network configuration: ovirtmgmt.
Which means ovirtmgmt is not working.
I realise the issue is due to no network config for it - its set to DHCP and there is no server.
The way I have setup the network on the hosts is
(I used the ovirt-node 4.4.4 iso to install the nodes)
/var/lib/vdsm/persistence/
├── netconf -> /var/lib/vdsm/persistence/netconf.JkcBbtya
└── netconf.JkcBbtya
├── bonds
│ └── bond0
├── devices
└── nets
├── ovirtmgmt
└── td-hv
td-hv - is a bonded bridge + VLAN and has the network config with correct ip and where the firewall access is allowing the ports used for ovirt (see config below)
Can I make the existing td-hv profile replace ovirtmgmt ? (i.e add ovirtmgmt functionality to existing network device td-hv)
Or should I use the existing settings from td-hv and add them to ovirtmgmt and remove td-hv ?
Config below - any advice would be great

Need help recovering ovirt engine (was: New Management VLAN for hyperconverged cluster)
by David White
I was able to fix the connectivity issues between all 3 hosts.
It turned out that I hadn't completely deleted the old vlan settings from the host. I re-ran "nmcli connection delete" on the old vlan. After that, I had to edit a network-scripts file and change/fix the bridge to use ifcfg-ovirtmgmt. After I did all that, the problematic host was accessible again. All 3 Gluster peers are now able to see each other and communicate over the management network.
From the command line, I was then able to successfully run "hosted-engine --connect-storage" without errors. I was also able to then run "hosted-engine --vm-start".
Unfortunately, the engine itself is still unstable, and when I access the web UI / oVirt Manager, it shows that all 3 hosts are inaccessible and down.
I don't understand how the web UI is operational at all if the engine thinks that all 3 hosts are inaccessible. What's going on there?
Although the initial problem was my own doing (I changed the management vlan), I'm deeply concerned with how unstable everything became - and has continued to be- ever since I lost connectivity to the 1 host. I thought the point of all of this was that things would (should) continue to work if 1 of the hosts went away.
Anyway, at that point, all 3 hosts are able to communicate with each other over the management network, but the engine still thinks that all 3 hosts are down, and is unable to manage anything.
Any suggestions on how to proceed would be much appreciated.

I honestly cannot remember what I did (if anything) to the actual hosts when this all started, but my troubleshooting steps today have been to try to fiddle with the vlan settings and /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ files on the problematic host to switch from the original vlan (1) to the new vlan (10).

what host os version or ovirt node version I choose for my production setup
by dhanaraj.ramesh＠yahoo.com
We had done successful POC of ovirt node & HE with 4.4.5 version and now planning for production. However since 4.4.5 ovirt node& HE based on centOS 8.3, yet Red hat announced CentOs8.3 EOL by End of this year, is there any progress/plan to release ovirt nodes with CentOS stream soon?
if we choose to go with Centos 8.3 based oVirt node, what could be the consequences in near term especially when it's come to next production release upgrade?
Kindly suggest me which Host version I should choose for Production setup?

Adding physical RAM to the hosts
by David White
As readers will already know, I have three oVirt hosts in a hyperconverged cluster.
I had a DIMM with too many errors on it, so I scavenged from a spare server that I had in my office precisely for this purpose.
I went ahead and replaced all of the RAM, because the DIMMs in my spare were a different speed. While I was at it, I doubled the RAM on this 1 oVirt host.
So now, two hosts have 32GB each.
And the 3rd host now has 64GB.
So total, I should have 128GB of RAM available to the cluster.
The engine recognizes that the host now has 64GB of RAM. Screenshot below:
[Screenshot from 2021-04-12 19-59-59.png]
However, the engine dashboard still shows that only ~93GB of RAM are available to the cluster (screenshot below).
[Screenshot from 2021-04-12 19-58-15.png]
Should I be worried that the oVirt dashboard hasn't updated to ~128GB (or a bit less, I guess)? Do I need to do anything else?

Glad that it worked, and thanks for the report!
I strongly recommend that you spend some time investigating
what/who/why it was changed.
This is most likely a mistake someone made at some point. It might be
broader than just this file, or it might be some other kind of problem
(e.g. a machine crashed in the middle of engine-setup and left files
corrupted).
If you can't find why/who, and suspect it's a bug, we'd definitely
like to get more information.
Some things you can check (other than usual site-specific things like
who logged in, when you changed stuff there, etc.):
- All /var/log/ovirt-engine/setup/* logs, their timestamps, and their
contents (e.g. grep them all for "OVESETUP_ENGINE_CORE/enable").
- /etc/ovirt-engine-setup.conf.d/20-setup-ovirt-post.conf* - the file
itself, and backups (made by engine-setup or otherwise), timestamps
etc.
- /etc/ovirt-engine/uninstall.d/* - engine-setup (and other related
tools) keep there information about all files it created/chagned -
mainly used by engine-cleanup
Good luck and best regards,

The setup log you provided shows nothing as configured - all of

Ovirt with Oracle Linux 8.3 & Cockpit - Direct Luns
by hansontodd＠gmail.com
Is Ovirt compatible with Oracle Linux 8.3? I have KVM & Cockpit running on Oracle Linux 8.3 but don't see a way to map direct luns (like RDM's) to the VM in the Cockpit interface.
Do I need to move back to Centos 7.x or RHEL 7.x with Ovirt to be able to use direct luns? Can Ovirt and Cockpit coexist?

ipxe support with Q35 chipset and UEFI
by Gianluca Cecchi
Hello,
I'm doing some tests with iPXE (downloaded latest version cloning the git
repo some days ago).
I'm using oVirt 4.4.5 with VMs configured with different chipset/firmware
type.
It seems that using dhcpd.conf directive of type
if exists user-class and option user-class = "iPXE" {
filename "http://my_http_server/...";
}
else {
...
}
the VM boot catches it when I use Q35 Chipset with BIOS, while it goes
inside the "else" section if using Q35 Chipset with UEFI (not the
SecureBoot one)
Does this mean that the Q35 UEFI doesn't support iPXE?
BTW: if anyone has suggestions about an utility that can let me boot via
network and give the user a general menu from which he/she can go and
choose standard pxe with bios or uefi boot, to be able to install both
Linux based systems and other ones, such as ESXi hosts, both with BIOS and
UEFI, it is welcome
