ovirt-engine manager, certificate issue
by david
hello
I have a problem to log in to ovirt-engine manager in my browser
the warning message in the browser display me this text:
PKIX path validation failed: java.security.cert.CertPathValidatorException:
validity check failed
to solve this problem I am offered to run engine-setup
and here is a question: the engine-setup will have no impact to the
hosts(hypervisors) working?
ovirt version 4.4.4.7-1.el8
thanks

Issue with oVirt 4.5 and Data Warehouse installed on a Separate Machine
by Igor Davidoff
Hello,
i have an issue with 'engine-seup' step on DWH (separate server) aufter upgrade from 4.4.10 to 4.5.
It looks like the ovirt-engine-setup are looking for rpm-package 'ovirt-engine' instead of 'ovirt-engine-dwh'.
the reporting error is:
"

"
usually the upgrade of minor versions in 4.4 was just:
# yum update ovirt\*setup\*
# engine-setup
# yum update
as it did not work, i tried the fresh installation of centos8 stream and recovery of DWH Database and configuration:
# engine-backup --mode=restore --file=backup.bck --provision-all-databases
-> no luck
the last idea was fresh installation centos8 stream + fresh installation of ovirt-engine-dwh 4.5 (without recovery)
-> the same error.
the engine side works fine.
i compared the current setup logs with the installation and all the minor upgrades of ovirt-engine-dwh before 4.5
and only found the rpm-validation for the package 'ovirt-engine-dwh':

It looks like engine-setup knows it is the DWH-Server, but is trying to validate the wrong rpm package.
Any Ideas, how to work around this.
Thank you!

Import KVM VMs on individual iSCSI luns
by spierce＠cts1.com
Greetings,
Is it possible with oVirt to import existing VMs where the underlying storage is on raw iSCSI luns and to keep them on those luns?
The historical scenario is that we have Virtual farms in multiple sites managed by an ancient Orchestration tool that does not support modern OS's as the hypervisor.
- In each site, there are clusters of hypervisors/Hosts that have visibility to the same iSCSI luns.
- Each VM has it's own set of iscsi luns that are totally dedicated to that VM
- Each VM is using LVM to manage the disk
- Each Host has LVM filtering configured to NOT manage the VM's iscsi luns
- The VMs can be live migrated from any Hypervisor within the cluster to any other Hypervisor in that same cluster
We are attempting to bring this existing environment into oVirt without replacing the storage model.
Is there any documentation that will serve as a guide for this scenario?
In a lab environment, we have successfully
- Added 2 hypervisors (hosts) and oVirt can see their VMs as external-ovtest1 and external-ovtest2
- Removed the LVM filtering on the hosts
- Created a storage domain that is able to see the iscsi luns, but we have not yet done the 'add' of each lun
Is it possible to import these luns as raw block devices without LVM being layered on top of them?
Is it required to actually import the luns into a storage domain, or can the VM's still be imported if all luns are visible on all hosts in the cluster?
In the grand scheme of things, are we trying to do something that is not possible with oVirt?
If it is possible, we would greatly appreciate tips, pointers, links to docs etc that will help us migrate this environment to oVirt.
Thanks in Advance

Upgrade from 4.2 directly to 4.5
by Vinícius Ferrão
Hello, I would like to know if I can do an oVirt upgrade directly from 4.2 to 4.5.
I don’t have a free host to upgrade the oVirt Node, so I was hoping that would be possible to fire up a new engine (with restore-backup) on the old oVirt Nodes and later on upgrade the hosts.
Is this possible?
Thank you.

VM access to infiniband network
by Roberto Bertucci
Hi all,
i am facing a problem while trying to associate a Mellanox infiniband interface to a network and using it for VM traffic.
vdsm log shows the following message:
The bridge <bridge name> cannot use IP over InfiniBand interface <interface name> as port. Please use RoCE interface instead.
Did anybody face the same problem and solve it?
Actually ib interface is configured with an ip address and we are mounting NFS filesystems on cluster nodes through infiniband network.

Unable to install on a bonded NIC
by weeglos＠yahoo.com
So I'm running a fresh install of oVirt on a new Centos Stream node. Fresh install.
I installed the OS with bonded interfaces. I bonded them during the install via anaconda.
I followed the doc here: https://ovirt.org/documentation/installing_ovirt_as_a_self-hosted_engine_...
When I got to the hosted-engine --deploy step, it errored out saying, "Only Team devices are present. Teaming is unsupported."
However, I'm not teaming my network adapters at all. I'm bonding them:

oVirt OVA Export -> oVirt OVA Import failure
by simon＠justconnect.ie
I carried out the following procedure:
1. Exported a VM as an OVA to a 4.3 environment host.
2. SCP'd the file to a host on a 4.5.0.3 environment.
3. Selected Import VM - Virtual Appliance (OVA) - selected the Host and path - clicked Load but no VMs are listed.
This process previously worked in 4.4
Is this a known bug?
Cannot upgrade to 4.5.1 until our internal mirrors have been updated.
