Ovirt 4.5.0 Support (End of Life Date)
by masood.ahmed＠digital.mod.uk 23 May '23

23 May '23

Hi, I am working on a project and we would like to utilise (oVirt 4.5.) as the platform for our enterprise infrastructure. We have arrived at this juncture because of a range of considerations related to hardware and software availability and compatibility. My question is if there is on-going vendor \ professional support for oVirt moving forward, as one of my colleagues spoke with Red Hat, who stated they are going to end their support for the product. we will not gain security accreditation for our project unless we have professional support available, community support only is not sufficient, Any ideas of firms available for a support contract for oVirt 4.5.0? thanks

Ovirt node disk broken
by marcel d'heureuse 09 May '23

09 May '23

Hi all, On a single Server the node disk is broken and I have to replace it. The glusterfs configuration is also gone but the glusterfs directorys are existing on a separate available disk. Did I have a Chance to install the ovirt Node on a New disk and make the old glusterfs running and also the 7 vms included the hosted engine? I can also deploy a New hosted engine but can I than import the existing gluster disk from the old Installation? I have installed the node and also mount the gluster_bricks but to make the volumes available I have not found any command. It is an ovirt 4.3.10 Installation. Is there any chance to save some time. The data inside the vms are good to have. Br Marcel

VDSM certs expired, manual renewal not working
by cen 02 May '23

02 May '23

Hi Our VDSM certs have expired, both hosts are unassigned and can't be put into maintenance from UI. vdsm-client is not working, times out even with --insecure flag. Does host and port need to be specified when run locally or should defaults work? Error in console events is: Get Host Capabilities Failed: PKIX path validation failed... I followed a RHV guide for this exact situation and generated new vdsm certificate using the ovirt-engine CA. The new cert seems identical to the old one, everything matches (algos, extensions, CA, CN, SAN etc) just new date. After restarting libvirtd and vdsmd on the host with new cert in place the host is still not reachable. However, error message is now slightly different: get Host Capabilities failed: Received fatal error: certificate_expired Cert was replaced in the following locations: /etc/pki/vdsm/certs/vdsmcert.pem /etc/pki/vdsm/libvirt-spice/server-cert.pem /etc/pki/libvirt/clientcert.pem Is there another location missing? What else can I try? All help appreciated in advance

checking engine vm status during global maintenance
by Alexey Valkov 02 May '23

02 May '23

Hi all, I tried to check engine status (via hosted-engine --vm-status) during global maintenance in oVirt 4.5.1 and discovered that it showed me status as it was just before entering global maintenance. Is it by design? And HA agent doesn't monitor and therefore doesn't update Engine VM status? If I remember right in oVirt 4.2 hosted-engine --vm-status showed correct status of Engine VM regardless of Global maintenance. I shutted down the engine but the output of hosted-engine --vm-status was Engine status : {"vm": "up", "health": "good", "detail": "Up"} Notice !! Cluster is in GLOBAL MAINTENANCE mode !! existed in the output. Host timestamp and extra metadata was up to date. All rest info looked good. Thi is my second attempt to ask the question (first was at 24/04 and still is being moderated). -- Best regards Alexei

Serial console VMs (vmconsole) only listed when admin user is logged into Manager WebUI?
by aleblanc＠lbl.gov 28 Apr '23

28 Apr '23

I am running a test\POC oVirt configuration with the following... oVirt engine: ovirt-engine-4.5.4-1.el8 engine OS: Rocky Linux release 8.7 (Green Obsidian) install type: stand-alone engine install I am able to access the serial console of VMs successfully, using the proper SSH command directly on the engine or remotely. Problem is, the VMs only show up in the list IF the 'admin' or 'admin@ovirt' user is presently logged into the manager UI. If I log out of the manager UI, the serial console returns 'no VMs'. Is there a setting or something that I am missing? ==== logged out of manager UI: [ovirt-vmconsole-proxy-helper]# /usr/libexec/ovirt-vmconsole-proxy-helper/ovirt-vmconsole-list.py --version "1" consoles --entityid "d55e4ab6-0318-46b0-95bc-12b21144eb88" {"consoles": [], "version": 1, "content": "console_list"} ==== logged into manager UI: [ovirt-vmconsole-proxy-helper]# /usr/libexec/ovirt-vmconsole-proxy-helper/ovirt-vmconsole-list.py --version "1" consoles --entityid "d55e4ab6-0318-46b0-95bc-12b21144eb88" {"consoles": [{"console": "3ecd0eda-130d-434b-9ece-32bbcc3b3e5a.sock", "vmid": "3ecd0eda-130d-434b-9ece-32bbcc3b3e5a", "host": "dldvovirt01", "vmname": "mytestvm_2", "vm": "mytestvm_2"}, {"console": "4e6abfbe-ede3-4e87-8d07-4ed1d6cb715c.sock", "vmid": "4e6abfbe-ede3-4e87-8d07-4ed1d6cb715c", "host": "dldvovirt02", "vmname": "testvm_4", "vm": "testvm_4"}, {"console": "dc4d017b-4f68-4eee-b80e-e49122345139.sock", "vmid": "dc4d017b-4f68-4eee-b80e-e49122345139", "host": "dldvovirt01", "vmname": "mytestvm_3", "vm": "mytestvm_3"}], "version": 1, "content": "console_list"} Any help would be appreciated.

Getting to the consoles of the Virtual machines
by destfinal＠googlemail.com 28 Apr '23

28 Apr '23

Hi, I have just deployed a functional oVirt cluster. I have created a few virtual machines and am able to ssh into them. However, I could not connect to the consoles of any of the running virtual machines. If I click on the console, from the management portal, it offers me to download a console.vv file. If I download it and double click on it, the file (console.vv itself) simply disappears. I connected to the kvm of the the node where the vm is running, from a VMM (from my local machine which is a Ubuntu 22.04) and when I tried to open the the console from there I get a "Viewer was disconnected" message in the machine Window. In the oVirt cluster, the VM console settings are: Video Type: VGA # Another available option is QXL Graphics protocol: VNC # Which is the only option available Could not find any useful information from the engin.log (all it say is that "Initiated console session for VM XXXXXX). What setting should I enable/change to get into the cnsole of my VM's? Please let me know if you need more information in this regard. Thanks

oVirt Self-hosted Engine Deployment fails
by destfinal＠googlemail.com 28 Apr '23

28 Apr '23

Hi, I am struggling to get an oVirt cluster setup (for a PoC with some workstations) for the past more than one week and am getting nowhere. Following is my environment: Machine: Dell Workstation with i7, 16G RAM, 256G (I have got couple of more of this machine but could not getr beyond the first one) OS: oVirt minimal (https://resources.ovirt.org/pub/ovirt-4.5/iso/ovirt-node-ng-installer/4.5.4…) Documentation followed: https://www.ovirt.org/documentation/installing_ovirt_as_a_self-hosted_engin… Cluster name chosen: my.cluster First node host name: node1-ovirt.my.cluster Engine VM name: ovirt-engine.my.cluster The documentation states that there should be resolvable DNS entries for both the oVirt hosts *as well as* for the oVirt engine VM. I am a bit confused on this as the VM will get a DHCP address only after running the 'hosted-engine' script. What ip address should I have for the engine VM (say if I have my engine host name as ovirt-engine.my.cluster)? If I have no entry for the engine in the DNS I get the following error: [ ERROR ] Host name is not valid: ovirt-engine.my.cluster did not resolve into an IP address Please provide the FQDN you would like to use for the engine. Note: This will be the FQDN of the engine VM you are now going to launch, it should not point to the base host or to any other existing machine. Engine VM FQDN: So I simply added an entry for 'ovirt-engine.my.cluster' with a dummy value 192.168.0.222 (this is an ip address on the host subnet; but the engine gets a DHCP address from a different subnet from a virtual network from the host; I dont understand this) which moves away from the above problem and goes all the way (after providing the values for a few other questions) to hang at 'Wait for the host to be up' for a while and eventually fail with an error message: [ ERROR ] fatal: [localhost]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "msg": "Host is not up, please check logs, perhaps also on the engine machine"} At this point a vm is running in the host. I logged on to the VM and searched the logs and found the following line in the /var/log/ovirt-engine/engine.log: ERROR [org.ovirt.engine.core.common.utils.ansible.AnsibleExecutor] (EE-ManagedThreadFactory-engine-Thread-1) [728b2edd-d13a-48c3-a2c1-42a66a5334c5] Exception: Task Install ovs failed to execute.
