Host needs to be reinstalled after configuring power management
by Andrew DeMaria 03 Feb '22

03 Feb '22

Hi, I am running ovirt 4.3 and have found the following action item immediately after configuring power management for a host: Host needs to be reinstalled as important configuration changes were applied on it. The thing is - I've just freshly installed this host and it seems strange that I need to reinstall it. Is there a better way to install a host and configure power management without having to reinstall it after? Thanks, Andrew

Import an exported VM using Ansible
by paolo＠airaldi.it 26 Jan '22

26 Jan '22

Hello everybody! I'm trying to automate a copy of a VM from one Datacenter to another using an Ansible.playbook. I'm able to: - Create a snapshot of the source VM - create a clone from the snapshot - remove the snapshot - attach an Export Domain - export the clone to the Export Domain - remove the clone - detach the Export domain from the source Datacenter and attach to the destination. Unfortunately I cannot find a module to: - import the VM from the Export Domain - delete the VM image from the Export Domain. Any hint on how to do that? Thanks in advance. Cheers. Paolo PS: if someone is interested I can share the playbook.

did 4.3.9 reset bug https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1590266

I am experiencing the error message in the ovirt-hosted-engine-setup-ansible-create_target_vm log {2020-05-06 14:15:30,024-0500 ERROR ansible failed {'status': 'FAILED', 'ansible_type': 'task', 'ansible_task': u"Fail if Engine IP is different from engine's he_fqdn resolved IP", 'ansible_result': u'type: <type \'dict\'>\nstr: {\'msg\': u"Engine VM IP address is while the engine\'s he_fqdn ovirt1-engine.kelleykars.org resolves to 192.168.122.2. If you are using DHCP, check your DHCP reservation configuration", \'changed\': False, \'_ansible_no_log\': False}', 'task_duration': 1, 'ansible_host': u'localhost', 'ansible_playbook': u'/usr/share/ovirt-hosted-engine-setup/ansible/trigger_role.yml'}}:Q! The bug 1590266 says it should report the engine VM IP address xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx while the Engines he_fqdn is xxxxxxxxx I need to see what it thins is wrong as both dig fqdn engine name and dig -x ip return the correct information. Now this bug looks like it may play but I don't see the failed rediness check in the this log https://access.redhat.com/solutions/4462431 or is it because the vm fails or dies or ???

Snapshot and disk size allocation
by jorgevisentini＠gmail.com 29 Oct '21

29 Oct '21

Hello everyone. I would like to know how disk size and snapshot allocation works, because every time I create a new snapshot, it increases 1 GB in the VM's disk size, and when I remove the snap, that space is not returned to Domain Storage. I'm using the oVirt 4.3.10 How do I reprovision the VM disk? Thank you all.

Ooops! in last step of Hyperconverged deployment
by Harry O 24 Sep '21

24 Sep '21

Hi, In the second engine dep run in Hyperconverged deployment I get red "Ooops!" in cockpit. I think it fails on some networking setup. The first oVirt Node says "Hosted Engine is up!" but the other nodes is not added to HostedEngine yet. There is no network connectivity to the Engine outside node1, I can ssh to engine from node1 on the right IP-address. Please tell what logs I should pull.

Template for Ubuntu 18.04 Server Issues
by jeremy_tourville＠hotmail.com 03 Sep '21

03 Sep '21

I have built a system as a template on oVirt. Specifically, Ubuntu 18.04 server. I am noticing an issue when creating new vms from that template. I used the check box for "seal template" when creating the template. When I create a new Ubuntu VM I am getting duplicate IP addresses for all the machines created from the template. It seems like the checkbox doesn't fully function as intended. I would need to do further manual steps to clear up this issue. Has anyone else noticed this behavior? Is this expected or have I missed something? Thanks for your input!
