what happens to vms when a host shutdowns?
by Nathanaël Blanchet
Hi,
We are installing UPS powerchute client on hypervisors.
What is the default vms behaviour of running vms when an hypervisor is
ordered to shutdown: do the vms live migrate or do they shutdown
properly (even the restart on an other host because of HA) ?

[4.4.7] The latest guest agent needs to be installed and running on the guest
by Christoph Timm
Hi list,
I have upgraded my oVirt from 4.4.4 to 4.4.7 and notice that some VMs
have issues to report the performance information via the guest agent.
I see the following message on the VMs: The latest guest agent needs to
be installed and running on the guest
The qemu-guest agent is installed on VMs (the VM OS is CentOS 8).
Any advice how to troubleshoot this?
I can see the stats will be presented in the GUI, if I migrate the VM to
a different host.
Best regards
Christoph

can't use vmconsole anymore
by Nathanaël Blanchet
Hi,
I was used to use the vmconsole proxy, but since a while, I'm getting
this issue (currently 4.4.5):
# ssh -t -p 2222 ovirt-vmconsole(a)air.v100.abes.fr connect
ovirt-vmconsole(a)air.v100.abes.fr: Permission denied (publickey).
I found following in the engine.log
2021-04-15 17:55:43,094+02 ERROR
[org.ovirt.engine.core.services.VMConsoleProxyServlet] (default task-4)

The user key is the good one, I use the same with my other engines and I
can successfully connect to vm consoles.
Thank you for helping

VM HostedEngine is down with error
by souvaliotimaria＠mail.com
Hello everyone,
I have a replica 2 + arbiter installation and this morning the Hosted Engine gave the following error on the UI and resumed on a different node (node3) than the one it was originally running(node1). (The original node has more memory than the one it ended up, but it had a better memory usage percentage at the time). Also, the only way I discovered the migration had happened and there was an Error in Events, was because I logged in the web interface of ovirt for a routine inspection. Βesides that, everything was working properly and still is.
The error that popped is the following:
VM HostedEngine is down with error. Exit message: internal error: qemu unexpectedly closed the monitor:
2020-09-01T06:49:20.749126Z qemu-kvm: warning: All CPU(s) up to maxcpus should be described in NUMA config, ability to start up with partial NUMA mappings is obsoleted and will be removed in future
2020-09-01T06:49:20.927274Z qemu-kvm: -device virtio-blk-pci,iothread=iothread1,scsi=off,bus=pci.0,addr=0x7,drive=drive-ua-d5de54b6-9f8e-4fba-819b-ebf6780757d2,id=ua-d5de54b6-9f8e-4fba-819b-ebf6780757d2,bootindex=1,write-cache=on: Failed to get "write" lock
Is another process using the image?.
Which from what I could gather concerns the following snippet from the HostedEngine.xml and it's the virtio disk of the Hosted Engine:
<disk type='file' device='disk' snapshot='no'>
<driver name='qemu' type='raw' cache='none' error_policy='stop' io='threads' iothread='1'/>
<source file='/var/run/vdsm/storage/80f6e393-9718-4738-a14a-64cf43c3d8c2/d5de54b6-9f8e-4fba-819b-ebf6780757d2/a48555f4-be23-4467-8a54-400ae7baf9d7'>
<seclabel model='dac' relabel='no'/>
</source>
<target dev='vda' bus='virtio'/>
<serial>d5de54b6-9f8e-4fba-819b-ebf6780757d2</serial>
<alias name='ua-d5de54b6-9f8e-4fba-819b-ebf6780757d2'/>
<address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x07' function='0x0'/>
</disk>
I've tried looking into the logs and the sar command but I couldn't find anything to relate with the above errors and determining the reason for it to happen. Is this a Gluster or a QEMU problem?
The Hosted Engine was manually migrated five days before on node1.
Is there a standard practice I could follow to determine what happened and secure my system?
Thank you very much for your time,
Maria Souvalioti

LACP across multiple switches
by Jorge Visentini
Hi all.
Is it possible to configure oVirt for work with two NICs in bond/LACP
across two switches, according to the image below?

Thank you all.
You guys do a wonderful job.

OVS switch type for hosted-engine
by Devin A. Bougie
Is it possible to setup a hosted engine using the OVS switch type instead of Legacy? If it's not possible to start out as OVS, instructions for switching from Legacy to OVS after the fact would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks,
Devin

USB3 redirection
by Rik Theys
Hi,
I'm trying to assign a USB3 controller to a CentOS 7.4 VM in oVirt 4.1
with USB redirection enabled.
I've created the following file in /etc/ovirt-engine/osinfo.conf.d:
01-usb.properties with content
os.other.devices.usb.controller.value = nec-xhci
and have restarted ovirt-engine.
If I disable USB-support in the web interface for the VM, the xhci
controller is added to the VM (I can see it in the qemu-kvm
commandline), but usb redirection is not available.
If I enable USB-support in the UI, no xhci controller is added (only 4
uhci controllers).
Is there a way to make the controllers for usb redirection xhci controllers?
Regards,
Rik

OVN routing and firewalling in oVirt
by Gianluca Cecchi
Hello,
how do we manage routing between different OVN networks in oVirt?
And between OVN networks and physical ones?
Based on architecture read here:
http://openvswitch.org/support/dist-docs/ovn-architecture.7.html
I see terms for logical routers and gateway routers respectively but how to
apply to oVirt configuration?
Do I have to choose between setting up a specialized VM or a physical one:
is it applicable/advisable to put on oVirt host itself the gateway
functionality?
Is there any security policy (like security groups in Openstack) to
implement?
Thanks,
Gianluca

Install hosted-engine - Task Get local VM IP failed
by florentl
Hi all,
I try to install hosted-engine on node : ovirt-node-ng-4.2.3-0.20180518.
Every times I get stuck on :
[ ERROR ] fatal: [localhost]: FAILED! => {"attempts": 50, "changed":
true, "cmd": "virsh -r net-dhcp-leases default | grep -i
00:16:3e:6c:5a:91 | awk '{ print $5 }' | cut -f1 -d'/'", "delta":

"stdout": "", "stdout_lines": []}
I tried with static IP Address and with DHCP but both failed.
To be more specific, I installed three nodes, deployed glusterfs with
the wizard. I'm in a nested virtualization environment for this lab
(Vmware Esxi Hypervisor).
My node IP is : 192.168.176.40 / and I want the hosted-engine vm has
192.168.176.43.
Thanks,
Florent
