Inquiries regarding missing data in the calendar table created/inserted into the ovirt_engine_history DB.
by whoisjmh＠gmail.com 28 Jun '21

28 Jun '21

I recently discovered that the spark-line chart is not displayed in the dashboard of the ovirt admin page. As a result of looking up the code and query, the data of the calendar table in the ovirt_engine_history DB of ovirt-dwh was only available until 2021-01-01 00:00:00, so a query statement ( https://github.com/oVirt/ovirt-engine/blob/master/frontend/webadmin/modules…. RIGHT OUTER JOIN of properties) was not getting the correct data. First, the existing "generate_series('2011-01-01 00:00'::timestamp, '2021-01-01 00:00', '1 hours')" part was temporarily modified and applied until 2051. , it was confirmed that the spark-line chart was displayed normally. For this, is there a way I can directly edit the file (https://github.com/oVirt/ovirt-dwh/blob/master/packaging/dbscripts/upgrade/…) to commit or request a correction? I would like to know.

IPv6 Support
by David White 28 Jun '21

28 Jun '21

Hello, Reading https://www.ovirt.org/documentation/administration_guide/index.html#IPv6-ne…, I see this tidbit: - Dual-stack addressing, IPv4andIPv6, is not supported - Switching clusters from IPv4 to IPv6 is not supported. If I'm understanding this correctly... does that mean I cannot run some VMs with IPv4, and other VMs with IPv6, in the same cluster? If so, that's incredibly disappointing and frustrating. Is Dual-stack addressing a possible feature request? IPv4 addresses are expensive... and I have a couple of customers who only needs IPv6, so would really prefer to avoid having to pay for IPv4 addresses for them. Sent with ProtonMail Secure Email.

Question about Template and Storage Domain
by Nur Imam Febrianto 27 Jun '21

27 Jun '21

Hi, Want to ask about template. For example I have a several template (with disk) stored in some Storage Domain. If I create a VM from the template, and when I change the parameter of cloned disk into another storage domain (different with where the template are stored). The VM always failed to be created. This only occurs in VM creation phase, if I create the VM at same storage domain where the templates are stored, it created successfully. Is this are “normal” behavior ? Thanks before. Regards, Nur Imam Febrianto

Mount Export Domain only temporary
by jb 25 Jun '21

25 Jun '21

Hello community, We use a NFS export domain for full backups. Sometimes I have to restart the NFS file server, but when I just restart that server, without doing anything in oVirt (I guess normally I should put the domain in maintenance mode), it can happen that hosts and VMs a crashing. I had one time even the issue, that after a crash one XFS file system on one host got damage and I had to fix that. My though was now, because I make only one time a week a VM full backup, I only mount the export domain in this time. Is there an easy way to do this, with the API? Or would you have a other hint, how to solve this issue? Have a good day! Jonathan

Re: oVirt 4.2 how to upgrade
by Strahil Nikolov 24 Jun '21

24 Jun '21

Theoretically you most probably can, but you take the risk of being vulnerable to split-brain. Keep in mind that you can:- update gluster to the same version that is used on oVirt 4.4- update oVirt to 4.3.10 as this is the most tested migration scenario- reduce the volume and remove that 3rd node (don't forget to peer detach)- reinstall with EL8 and install gluster (same version) again. Add the brick and qait for the heal- create a new volume for the new HE- Stop the old HE and deploy the new one from the backup- Add the hosts to the new HE and migrate some of the VMs to free one of the old hosts- Reinstall the remaining hosts (one by one) to EL8 Best Regards,Strahil Nikolov On Thu, Jun 24, 2021 at 14:28, Fedele Stabile<fedele.stabile(a)fis.unical.it> wrote: I have a 3 node oVirt 4.2.1 cluster, i'm using a self-hosted engine architecture and storage-engine is on a glusterfs replica 3 of the cluster.

Expected behavior when link of required VM networks down
by Gianluca Cecchi 24 Jun '21

24 Jun '21

Hello, suppose I have a cluster with required VM logical network setup. Suppose on hosts I have configured a bonding device with this logical network mapped on it. Suppose an active host for any reason loses the physical connectivity on this bond (both links down or problems with new network config impacting the bond, ecc) So from the VMs point of view, those having a vnic on this logical network will lose the connectivity, but I think they will not detect link down, correct? Is there any expected default action oVirt will take in respect of this scenario or not? Of course I expect to see events with messages about link down. But any automatic action such as live migration of impacted VMs for example? Any configurable one at oVirt level? Thanks, Gianluca

oVirt 4.4.5 - Windows Server 2003 VM Reboot problems
by simon＠justconnect.ie 24 Jun '21

24 Jun '21

Hi All, I've had to migrate a Windows Server 2003 R2 VM from VMWare to oVirt which I have successfully managed to get running. The problem I have is if I try to reboot from the OS I receive the following message after the VM shuts down but doesn't reboot: "Exit message: Lost connection with qemu process." Also any attempt to either shutdown or reboot from oVirt Manager has no effect. I realize that this OS is not supported in the current oVirt version, but is there something I am missing to get it working 'unsupported' please? Regards Simon...

yesterday I had a disk failure on my stack of 3 Ovirt 4.4.1 node on each server I have 3 Bricks (engine, data, vmstore) brick data 4X600Gig raid0. /dev/gluster_vg_sdb/gluster_lv_data mount /gluster_bricks/data brick engine 2X1TB raid1 /dev/gluster_vg_sdc/gluster_lv_engine mount /gluster_bricks/engine brick vmstore 2X1TB raid1 /dev/gluster_vg_sdc/gluster_lv_vmstore mount /gluster_bricks/vmstore Everything was configured by the gui (hyperconverge and hosted-engine) It is the raid0 of the 2nd server who broke. all VMs were automatically moved to the other two servers, I haven't lost any data. the host2 is now in maintenance mode. I am going to buy 4 new SSD disks to replace the 4 disks of the defective raid0. When I'm going to erase the faulty raid0 and create the new raid with the new disks on the raid controler, how do I add in ovirt so that they resynchronize with the other bricks data?

Problems moving vm & templates between oVirt 4.3 & 4.4
by Guillaume Pavese 23 Jun '21

23 Jun '21

On ovirt 4.4.6, I created a VM and made a template from it. I would like to copy them to oVirt 4.3.7 & 4.3.10 DCs - I saw that Export Domain is deprecated. I tried exporting the VM & template to an Export Domain anyway but, after attaching the Export DOmain on my ovirt 4.3.7 DC, both VM and Template imports failed. The Template import failed immediately without any errors visible in the UI, The VM import failed with the message "General command validation failure." - I tried to do it through a Data Domains as recommended, but: If created on oVirt 4.4.6, I get a Format V5 DataDomain that my oVirt 4.3.7 refuses to import. If created first on the oVirt 4.3 DC, I get a Format V4 Domain. But then importing it on the oVirt 4.4 DC, I get the message: "Approving this operation will upgrade the Storage Domain format from 'V4' to 'V5'. Note that you will not be able to attach it back to an older Data Center." In "Administration > Providers" everything seems supported, from XEN / KVM and even VMware (we have used all three with some success). However oVirt is the obvious missing option... I still have to try "Export as OVA", is that the only supported way?

Import Ge0-Replicated Storage Domain fails
by simon＠justconnect.ie 22 Jun '21

22 Jun '21

Hi All, I have 2 independent Hyperconverged Sites/Data Centers. Site A has a GlusterFS Replica 3 + Arbiter Volume that is Storage Domain data2 This Volume is Geo-Replicated to a Replica 3 + Arbiter Volume at Site B called data2_bdt I have simulated a DR event and now want to import the Ge0-Replicated volume data2_bdt as a Storage Domain on Site B. Once imported I need to import the VMs on this volume to run in Site B. The Geo-Replication now works perfectly (thanks Strahil) but I haven't been able to import the Storage Domain. Please can someone point me in the right direction or documentation on how this can be achieved. Kind Regards Shimme...

importing vm's from storage pool from 4.1.6.2-1 in to 4.4.6 fails due to lingering snapshot configuration in source
by Charles Kozler 22 Jun '21

22 Jun '21

I know the subject is a bit wordy but let me try to explain I have a 4.1 installation that I am migrating to 4.4. I placed the storage domain into maintenance and then rsync'ed it to the storage I am using for 4.4. In 4.4 I import the domain and it comes in fine, however, when trying to import some VM's it fails because it says it cannot find a disk. The disk ID's I cannot find anywhere in 4.1 or 4.4 so I opened OVF_STORE after upgrading the pool in 4.4 and look at the ovf file for some of the VM's that are failing to import I see this in the ovf configuration file - <Section xsi:type="ovf:SnapshotsSection_Type"> <Snapshot ovf:id="e300fa3b-eee4-4b96-9103-45115081db57"> <Type>ACTIVE</Type> <Description>Active VM</Description> <CreationDate>2019/12/19 16:47:48</CreationDate> <Memory>07d3447c-c640-4163-9cf1-74ce126d702a,59b5cfdf-015b-0333-004b-000000000397,8c48ea33-dc34-403a-90d2-a3e78776404c,1757809b-9685-4315-a92e-3ea82dc6d8a8,94a2c2b3-e02e-4b05-80eb-6f4b7a9701e7,248a9fd1-61f0-4c5a-b6ab-4630d433c6fa</Memory> </Snapshot> </Section> </Content> </ovf:Envelope> These are the disk ID's I can see failing to import in engine.log I am aware that importing a VM cannot support snapshots and have found multiple mailing list posts around this, however, I do not have any snapshots visible in 4.1 UI. I also tried modifying OVF_STORE by untar'ing it and editing the ovf files directly, however, this does not work as it ends up overwritten by ovirt with the previous configuration Any ideas? As noted, I cannot see any snapshots listed in 4.1 source pool so I therefore cannot remove this stale configuration from the source and upon importing in to 4.4 it fails because it cannot find the disks I tried import partial and that still fails which to me seems like a bug because the idea of the import partial is to still register the VM even if it cant find disks I also tried scanning domain for disks and update OVF's in the UI and it does not help anything -- *Notice to Recipient*: https://www.fixflyer.com/disclaimer <https://www.fixflyer.com/disclaimer>

Grafana oVirt 4.4.4 Node install - Grafana Monitoring Portal not available
by simon＠justconnect.ie 22 Jun '21

22 Jun '21

Having installed oVirt 4.4.4 HCI 3 node cluster, the Grafana 'Monitoring Portal' was not visible on the Default page. It appears that Grafana is installed but not configured. I have checked a 4.4.3 environment and it is installed and running, so is this a bug with 4.4.4.7-1.el8? Any help would be appreciated.

Replacing hosted engine on Gluster
by Chris Adams 22 Jun '21

22 Jun '21

I've run oVirt on iSCSI storage for years, and I've had to replace the hosted engine a couple of times (upgrade from CentOS 6 to 7, then moving to new storage). I'm looking at oVirt on hyperconverged Gluster storage. I see pages about how to replace a host, but how do you replace the engine when needed? Is it possible to connect a new hosted engine to the existing Gluster storage? I'm just trying to understand all the differences of iSCSI vs. Gluster before deploying it for real; if there's info online that I missed, feel free to point me to it. Thanks! -- Chris Adams <cma(a)cmadams.net>

Hello; when I try to enter the graphical console to a vm I get the following message: Operation canceled: CA not found. Change the certificates as the procedure says https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_virtualization/4.1/ht… And all services: ovirt-engine.service / ovirt-websocket-proxy / ovirt-imagenio-proxy.service / ovirt-provider-ovn.service - are working properly. But there is something wrong. This has happened to someone else when changing the certificates from the ovirt engine to a third-party CA certificate. Thanks.

Recovering from corrupted hosted-engine
by timothy.dilbert＠bmt.ky 21 Jun '21

21 Jun '21

Hi Guys, We had a 2-node self-supported RHEV cluster that we used for our development environment. We're in the middle of a migration from RHEV over to VMware - one host has already been converted to VMware and we have actively been running VM migrations over to VMware. During the migration, we had an extended power outage and had to improperly shut down the RHEV host. Since bringing it back up we've not been able to start the hosted-engine. Each time we try to start the hosted engine we're getting the following messages: ## START [root@bmrhev01 ~]# hosted-engine --vm-start VM exists and is down, cleaning up and restarting VM in WaitForLaunch [root@bmrhev01 ~]# hosted-engine --vm-status --== Host bmrhev01 (id: 1) status ==-- conf_on_shared_storage : True Status up-to-date : True Hostname : bmrhev01 Host ID : 1 Engine status : {"reason": "vm not running on this host", "health": "bad", "vm": "down_unexpected", "detail": "unknown"} Score : 3400 stopped : False Local maintenance : False crc32 : 325ff4b3 local_conf_timestamp : 7920 Host timestamp : 7920 Extra metadata (valid at timestamp): metadata_parse_version=1 metadata_feature_version=1 timestamp=7920 (Tue Jun 15 14:59:32 2021) host-id=1 score=3400 vm_conf_refresh_time=7920 (Tue Jun 15 14:59:32 2021) conf_on_shared_storage=True maintenance=False state=EngineStarting stopped=False END ## We've tried rebooting a number of times. Restarting various oVirt services. Nothing appears to be resolving the issue. At this point, the only thing I truly care about is migrating the guest VMs over to VMware. There's nothing else in the RHEV environment I care about. I'm happy to settle with any of the following, providing they can salvage the guest VMs: a) Deleting and redeploying the hosted-engine. b) Abandoning the hosted-engine and some how converting the guest VMs over to VMware. I don't have enough experience to know if any of the above is possible or the repercussions of either of them. Any help from anyone would be very helpful. I'm sorry to be a leach, rather than a contributor. I'm seriously in trouble here and a kind heart would be much appreciated. Thanks, Tim.

oVirt + Gluster issues

Hello, running ovirt 4.4.4.7-1.el8 and gluster 8.3. When i performe a restore of Zimbra Collaboration Email with features.shard on, the VM pauses with an unknown storage error. When I performe a restore of Zimbra Collaboration Email with features.shard off, it fills all the gluster storage domain disks. With older versions of gluster and ovirt the same happens. If I use a NFS storage domain it runs OK. -- Jose Ferradeira http://www.logicworks.pt

Hi, I started to get messages that /var/log has less then 500MB free space left on out of 8GB. du -h —max-depthh=1 reveals that openswitch log dir consumes 3.6GB, there are files as old as 2018. Node software was installed on fresh CentOS 7.xx from oVirt admin web console. I cleaned this directory, yet question remain - why logrotate service is not running by default on oVirt node? Or this is not recommended? Thanks in advance. Andrei

Hello - Deployed fresh ovirt node 4.4.6 and the only thing I did to the system was configure the NIC with nmtui During the gluster install the install errored out with gluster-deployment-1620832547044.log:failed: [n2] (item=5900/tcp) => {"ansible_loop_var": "item", "changed": false, "item": "5900/tcp", "msg": "ERROR: Exception caught: org.fedoraproject.FirewallD1.Exception: ALREADY_ENABLED: '5900:tcp' already in 'public' Permanent and Non-Permanent(immediate) operation"} The fix here was easy - I just deleted the port it was complaining about with firewall-cmd and restarted the installation and it was all fine During the hosted engine deployment when the VM is being deployed it dies here [ INFO ] TASK [ovirt.ovirt.hosted_engine_setup : Open a port on firewalld] [ ERROR ] fatal: [localhost]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "msg": "ERROR: Exception caught: org.fedoraproject.FirewallD1.Exception: ALREADY_ENABLED: '6900:tcp' already in 'public' Non-permanent operation"} Now the issue here is that I do not have access to the engine VM as it is in a bit of a transient state since when it fails the current image that is open is discarded when the ansible playbook is kicked off again I cannot find any BZ on this and google is turning up nothing. I don't think firewalld failing due to the firewall rule already existing should be a reason to exit the installation The interesting part is that this only fails on certain ports. i.e when I reran the gluster wizard after 5900 failed, the other ports are presumably still added to the firewall, and the installation completes Suggestions? -- *Notice to Recipient*: https://www.fixflyer.com/disclaimer <https://www.fixflyer.com/disclaimer>

Update of plain CentOS hosts very slow
by Gianluca Cecchi 09 Jun '21

09 Jun '21

Hello, I have a 4.4.5 environment that I'm upgrading to 4.4.6. I'm upgrading plain CentOS hosts from the GUI. They are in 4.4.5, so in particular CentOS 8.3 and as part of the upgrade they have to be put to 8.4. In the past I used "yum update" on the host but now it seems it is not the correct way. But the ansible part related to package updates seems to be very slow. It gives the impression that it is doing it one by one and not as a whole when you run "yum update" Now it is about 30 minutes that the update is going on and my internet speed is for sure very high. In messages of host I see every single line suche this ones: Jun 8 11:09:30 ov300 python3[3031815]: ansible-dnf Invoked with name=['rsyslog-relp.x86_64'] state=latest lock_timeout=300 conf_file=/tmp/yum.conf allow_downgrade=False autoremove=False bugfix=False disable_gpg_check=False disable_plugin=[] disablerepo=[] download_only=False enable_plugin=[] enablerepo=[] exclude=[] installroot=/ install_repoquery=True install_weak_deps=True security=False skip_broken=False update_cache=False update_only=False validate_certs=True disable_excludes=None download_dir=None list=None releasever=None Jun 8 11:09:32 ov300 python3[3031828]: ansible-dnf Invoked with name=['runc.x86_64'] state=latest lock_timeout=300 conf_file=/tmp/yum.conf allow_downgrade=False autoremove=False bugfix=False disable_gpg_check=False disable_plugin=[] disablerepo=[] download_only=False enable_plugin=[] enablerepo=[] exclude=[] installroot=/ install_repoquery=True install_weak_deps=True security=False skip_broken=False update_cache=False update_only=False validate_certs=True disable_excludes=None download_dir=None list=None releasever=None Any clarification?

Rootless Podman container not displaying in oVirt Manager
by David White 09 Jun '21

09 Jun '21

I deployed a rootless Podman container on a RHEL 8 guest on Saturday (3 days ago). At the time, I remember seeing some selinux AVC "denied" messages related to qemu-guest-agent and podman, but I didn't have time to look into it further, but made a mental note to come back to it, because it really smelled like a bug to me. So, I came back to it this afternoon, and now I see nothing when I look for `ausearch -m AVC` I restarted the `quemu-guest-agent` service with systemctl, and ran `ausearch -m AVC` again, hoping to see some results, but I still don't. I really wish that I had at least copied the AVC message I saw on Saturday for later investigation, but I fully expected to be able to find that information again today. Regardless, I have a rootless container running on the guest VM. When I login to the oVirt Manager and navigate to the VM -> Containers, I don't see anything listed. On Saturday, I thought this was a bug with selinux and qemu-guest-agent. But now, I have no idea. Any thoughts? Sent with ProtonMail Secure Email.

Booting VMs from RHEL ISOs fail
by David White 09 Jun '21

09 Jun '21

Ever since I deployed oVirt a couple months ago, I've been unable to boot any VMs from a RHEL ISO. Ubuntu works fine, as does CentOS. I've tried multiple RHEL 8 ISOs on multiple VMs. I've destroyed and re-uploaded the ISOs, and I've also destroyed and re-created the VMs. Every time I try to boot a VM to a RHEL 8 ISO, the console just tells me that "No boot device" was found. Can anyone think of any reason why other ISOs would work, when RHEL ISOs do not work? How can I troubleshoot this further? I really need to get a server up and running with Podman.

Hello! oVirt 4.3 engine.cer is about to expire. What is the proper way to renew it, so there is no impact on the running hosts and workloads ? Thank you.

Ovirt node 4.4.5 failure to upgrade to 4.4.6
by Guillaume Pavese 08 Jun '21

08 Jun '21

Maybe my problem is in part linked to an issue seen by Jayme earlier, but then the resolution that worked for him did not succeed for me : I first upgraded my Self Hosted Engine from 4.4.5 to 4.4.6 and then upgraded it to Centos-Stream and rebooted Then I tried to upgrade the cluster (3 ovirt-nodes on 4.4.5) but it failed at the first host. They are all ovir-node hosts, originally first installed in 4.4.5 In Host Event Logs I saw : ... Update of host ps-inf-prd-kvm-fr-510.hostics.fr.

However, it did not pass active after rebooting and nodectl still shows that it's 4.4.5 installed. Similar symptoms as OP So I removed ovirt-node-ng-image-update, then reinstalled it and got no error this time. nodectl info seemed to show that it was installed : [root@ps-inf-prd-kvm-fr-510 yum.repos.d]# nodectl info bootloader: default: ovirt-node-ng-4.4.6.3-0.20210518.0 (4.18.0-301.1.el8.x86_64) ... current_layer: ovirt-node-ng-4.4.5.1-0.20210323.0+1 However, after reboot the Host was still shown as "unresponsive" After Marking it as "Manually rebooted", passing it in maintenance mode and trying to activate it, the Host was automatically fenced. And still unresponsive after this new reboot. I passed it in maintenance mode again, And tried to reinstall it with "Deploy Hosted Engine" selected However if failed : "Task Stop services failed to execute."
