And this is juste half an hour of logs:
$ head -1 vdsm.log
2018-11-22 11:01:12,132+0100 ERROR (mailbox-spm) [storage.MailBox.SpmMailMonitor] mailbox 2 checksum failed, not clearing mailbox, clearing new mail (data='...lots of data', expected='\xa4\x06\x08\x00') (mailbox:612)

w2k19 runOnce GuestTools ISO missing
by hellweiss
Hello List,
I've latest ovirt Node on the Servers: ovirt-node-ng-4.4.9.3-0.20211215.0+1 and latest Engine 4.4.9 on CentOS Stream.
When trying to run Windows 2019 Server installation from ISO with runOnce and Attach Windows Guest ISO
Machine can not be started. If I remove Attach Windows Guest CD VM boots just fine.
Workaround is to use VM Portal and change CD there when Windows Installer doesnt find any Disk.
Latest Guest Tools ISO is installed on engine with using dnf install virtio-win in /usr /share/virtio-win
I copied the Folder /usr/share/virtio-win from engine to every Node, but that also doesn't work.
dnf search virtio-win on ovirt Node gives no results.
What to do to get the VM with runOnce with Windows Guest Tools ISO attached to boot ?
Why not let the User choose the ISO to use from the ISO Storage Domain when runOnce and Attach Windows Guest ISO is enabled ?
Thanks
Uli

Ovirt 4.4.9 install fails (guestfish)?
by Andy Kress
Support,
Happy new year, I am trying a fresh install of ovirt (4.4.9) and seem to not be able to get past deploying the host to the glusterfs volume. I am able to mount the volume from each host and have checked the configuration of the engine volume which allows vdsm and KVM to mount. I dont know if this is a glustermount problem or guestfish as the install fails when moving the VM to the hosted storage. Attached is the install log as well as the installed packages.
The specific error is genereated when the install "inject network configuration with guestfish" on install is: libguestfs: error: appliance closed the connection unexpectedly.\nThis usually means the libguestfs appliance crashed
Based off the error, "relabeling" I have even attempted to disable selinux in the engine during install which produced the same error. Additionally I also downgraded
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

what permissions to use for Affinity Rules/Groups?
by Darrell Budic
I didn’t see any info in the Admin Guide for what permissions would allow users to setup Affinity Groups & Rules for the VMs they have access to. Anyone know what permissions are needed where to allow that?
Thanks,

Using IBM Spectrum Scale as POSIX compliant filesystem under oVirt 4.4 results in oVirt host reboot.
by Andi Nør Christiansen
Hi,
Does anyone know how to mount a spectrum scale filesystem as a storage domain using the POSIX compliant storage option.
I've tried to follow an earlier post about this - https://lists.ovirt.org/archives/list/users@ovirt.org/thread/LLXLSI4ZQFU3...
specifically the options provided by jtorres:
Domain Function: Data
Name: name_of_the_domain
Storage Type: Posix Compliant FS
Path: gpfs_kvm (the name of the "device"/"filesystem" created, not an
absoluthe path)
VFS Type: gpfs
Mount Options: rw,relatime,dev=gpfs_kvm (the dev parameter is the key to mount the
filesystem).
Using those options, the webinterface just tells me it cannot communicate with the storage.
If I change it to:
Domain Function: Data
Name: name_of_the_domain
Storage Type: Posix Compliant FS
Path: /mnt/b4tsz001
VFS Type: gpfs
Mount Options: rw,relatime
The oVirt host reboots immediately.
I have mounted the filesystem locally on the oVirt Host under /mnt/<filesystem name>
Change the owner to: vdsm:kvm
Am I missing something or is this a general bug between spectrum scale and oVirt.
Any ideas will be appreciated! Thanks
Best Regards

Help installing oVirt on single machine, without cockpit

The reply button is taking me to a "mailto" tab again, but hopefully
making the subject the same, will put this under the right thread? If not,
I'm not sure how to reply on the new system. The original thread is here:

@Strahil Nikolov
> Have you thought about deploying HostedEngine and when you need to update
the engine -> put the host in maintenance -> backup & restore
The way I understand the update process, you can't update with a hosted
engine unless you have two hosts. One needs to run the engine VM, so the
other can go into maintenance. Is this wrong? For my use case, I'm looking
for something that'll work/update on a single host.
I'm trying to get the engine running next to the hypervisor, so it can run
when the VM's come down. I can get the engine running on a CentOS Stream
install, but it says it has 0/0 hosts running, so I don't think it can
deploy VM's. I can't find a way to install the node's hypervisor
package-set either. Unless that package exists, the only other idea I have
for this route is doing a "hosted engine" install, but destroy the engine
VM and point it to the local engine. This seems extreme to me lol.
I tried setting up the engine on a node itself, but the error I can't get
past yet is in the second url, top of this message. It can't start the
ovirt-imageio service, because of a missing file.
Happy Holidays all!
