Unable to upload or download iso via admin portal
by Igor Filipovic 09 Dec '25

09 Dec '25

Hi, I'm having a trouble on fresh 4.4.10.7 installation (on oracle linux), I'm not able to upload or download any file using storage domain upload image function. I've imported CA certificate and have tried on several browsers (firefow, chrome,edge), on different computers (and browsers are green - claiming that I'm securely connected), but I'm always getting error regarding CA certificate when I test connection, or when I try to upload ISO image. I've tried to upload ISO image via cli commands (upload_disk.py), and that scenario was successful, however this method It is not very convenient for my co-workers. I have 5 physical hosts, one is dedicated to run ovirt-engine, and other 4 are kvm hypervisors. When I try to upload ISO this is what engine.log logs: 2023-04-08 11:00:28,339+02 INFO [org.ovirt.engine.core.bll.storage.disk.image.TransferImageStatusCommand] (default task-2) [f6b62add-0a0c-45ee-a985-a76171843382] Running command: TransferImageStatusCommand internal: false.

Installing oVirt on RHEL vs CentOS Stream, Alma or Rocky Linux
by Richard W.M. Jones 06 Oct '25

06 Oct '25

I'm still struggling to get oVirt installed. It absolutely will not install on RHEL 8, the documentation here is flat out wrong: https://www.ovirt.org/documentation/installing_ovirt_as_a_standalone_manage… javapackages-tools is not a module that exists in RHEL 8. Apparently it's a CentOS PowerTools module. Since original CentOS no longer really exists either, does anyone have any opinions or experience with installing oVirt on any of: - CentOS Stream 8 - Alma Linux 8.5 - Rocky Linux Alma in particular looks like a straight replacement for old CentOS.

How to list all snapshots?
by jorgevisentini＠gmail.com 14 Feb '25

14 Feb '25

Hello everyone! First, I would like to thank everyone involved in this wonderful project. I leave here my sincere thanks! Does anyone know if it is possible to list all snapshots automatically? It can be by ansible, python, shell... any way that helps to list them all without having to enter Domain by Domain. Thank you all!

snapshot solution: Existing snapshots that were taken after this one will be erased.
by dhanaraj.ramesh＠yahoo.com 29 Jan '25

29 Jan '25

Hi Team, when I want to commit the older snapshots I'm getting warning stating " Existing snapshots that were taken after this one will be erased.". is there any way we can retain the latest snapshots as is in the chain? I knew cloning and template export options are there to secure that latest snapshot data but these are will consume additional space in storage and take time.

Restart oVirt-Engine
by Jeremey Wise 09 Jan '25

09 Jan '25

How ,without reboot of hosting system, do I restart the oVirt engine? # I tried below but do not seem to effect the virtual machine [root@thor iso]# systemctl restart ov ovirt-ha-agent.service ovirt-imageio.service ovn-controller.service ovs-delete-transient-ports.service ovirt-ha-broker.service ovirt-vmconsole-host-sshd.service ovsdb-server.service ovs-vswitchd.service [root@thor iso]# # You cannot restart the VM " HostedEngine " as it responses: Error while executing action: HostedEngine: - Cannot restart VM. This VM is not managed by the engine. Reason is I had to do some work on a node. Reboot it.. it is back up.. network is all fine.. Cockpit working fine... and gluster fine.. But oVirt-Engine refuses to accept the node is up. -- p <jeremey.wise(a)gmail.com>enguinpages

Unable to access ovirt Admin Screen from ovirt Host
by louisb＠ameritech.net 07 Dec '24

07 Dec '24

I've reinstalled ovirt 4.4 on my server remotely via cockpit terminal. I'm able to access the ovirt admin screen remotely from the laptop that I used for the install. However, using the same URL I'm unable to gain access to the admin screen. Following the instruction in the documentation I've modified the file: /etc/ovirt-engine/engine.conf.d/99-custom-sso-setup.conf, to reflect the DNS name and I enter in the IP address. But I'm still unable to access the screen from the server console. What else needs to change in order to gain access from the server console? Thanks

SPM and Task error ...
by Enrico 22 Nov '24

22 Nov '24

Hi all, my ovirt cluster has got 3 Hypervisors runnig Centos 7.5.1804 vdsm is 4.20.39.1-1.el7, ovirt engine is 4.2.4.5-1.el7, the storage systems are HP MSA P2000 and 2050 (fibre channel). I need to stop one of the hypervisors for maintenance but this system is the storage pool manager. For this reason I decided to manually activate SPM in one of the other nodes but this operation is not successful. In the ovirt engine (engine.log) the error is this: 2019-07-25 12:39:16,744+02 INFO [org.ovirt.engine.core.bll.storage.pool.ForceSelectSPMCommand] (default task-30) [7c374384-f884-4dc9-87d0-7af27dce706b] Running command: ForceSelectSPMCommand internal: false.

oVirt networks
by Enrico Becchetti 28 Aug '24

28 Aug '24

Dear all, Ineed your help to understand how to configure the network of a new oVirt cluster. Mynew system will have a 4.3 engine thatruns in a virtual machine, andsome Dell R7525 AMD EPYC hypervisors, eachholding two 4-port PCI network cards. These servers will have node-ovirt image again in version 4.3. As for the network, there are two HPE Aruba 2540G, non-stackable, with 24 1Gbs ports and 2 10Gbs uplinks to the star center. This is a simplified scheme: My goal is to make the most of the server's 8 ethernet interfaces to have both reliability and maximum possible throughput. This cluster will have two virtual networks, one forovirt management and one for the traffic of individual virtual machines. With that said here's what my idea is. I would like to have two links aggregated by 4Gbs, one for ovrtmgt and the other for vmnet. With the ovirt web interface I can createan active-passive "Mode 1" bond, but this won'tallow me to go beyond 1Gbs. Alternatively I could create a "Mode 4" bond 802.3ad but unfortunately the switches are not stacked and therefore not even this solution applies. This is an example with active passive configuration: Can you tell me if ovirt can generate//nested bonds? Or do you have other solutions ? Thanks a lot !

boot from cdrom & error code 0005
by edp＠maddalena.it 21 Aug '24

21 Aug '24

Hi. I have created a new storage domain (data domain, storage type nfs) to use it to upload iso images. I have so uploaded a new iso and then attach the iso to a new vm. But when I try to boot the vm I obtain this error: booting from dvd/cd... boot failed: could not read from cdrom (code 0005) no bootable device The iso file has been uploaded with success in the data storage domain and so the vm lets my attach the iso to the vm in the boot settings. Can you help me? Thank you

How to re-enroll (or renew) host certificates for a single-host hosted-engine deployment?
by Derek Atkins 28 Jun '24

28 Jun '24

Hi, I've got a single-host hosted-engine deployment that I originally installed with 4.0 and have upgraded over the years to 4.3.10. I and some of my users have upgraded remote-viewer and now I get an error when I try to view the console of my VMs: (remote-viewer:8252): Spice-WARNING **: 11:30:41.806: ../subprojects/spice-common/common/ssl_verify.c:477:openssl_verify: Error in server certificate verification: CA signature digest algorithm too weak (num=68:depth0:/O=<My Org Name>/CN=<Host's Name>) I am 99.99% sure this is because the old certs use SHA1. I reran engine-setup on the engine and it asked me if I wanted to renew the PKI, and I answered yes. This replaced many[1] of the certificates in /etc/pki/ovirt-engine/certs on the engine, but it did not update the Host's certificate. All the documentation I've seen says that to refresh this certificate I need to put the host into maintenance mode and then re-enroll.. However I cannot do that, because this is a single-host system so I cannot put the host in local mode -- there is no place to migrate the VMs (let alone the Engine VM). So.... Is there a command-line way to re-enroll manually and update the host certs? Or some other way to get all the leftover certs renewed? Thanks, -derek [1] Not only did it not update the Host's cert, it did not update any of the vmconsole-proxy certs, nor the certs in /etc/pki/ovirt-vmconsole/, and obviously nothing in /etc/pki/ on the host itself. -- Derek Atkins 617-623-3745 derek(a)ihtfp.com www.ihtfp.com Computer and Internet Security Consultant

4.5.4 with Ceph only storage
by Maurice Burrows 25 Jun '24

25 Jun '24

Hey ... A long story short ... I have an existing Red Hat Virt / Gluster hyperconverged solution that I am moving away from. I have an existing Ceph cluster that I primarily use for OpenStack and a small requirement for S3 via RGW. I'm planning to build a new oVirt 4.5.4 cluster on RHEL9 using Ceph for all storage requirements. I've read many online articles on oVirt and Ceph, and they all seem to use the Ceph iSCSI gateway, which is now in maintenance, so I'm not real keen to commit to iSCSI. So my question is, IS there any reason I cannot use CephFS for both hosted-engine and as a data storage domain? I'm currently running Ceph Pacific FWIW. Cheers

i can't access console with noVNC or VNC client(console.vv)
by z84614242＠163.com 14 May '24

14 May '24

i installed the ovirt 4.5 engine on centos stream 9 and add a ovirt node(ovirt node 4.5 iso) to this engine. i am going to run my vm on this node. i follow the instruction to create the data center, the cluster, the storage domain, upload the image. everything is fine. and after i create a vm with ubuntu image attach, i found that i can't visit the console. when i using the noVNC, it says "Something went wrong, connection is closed", when i visit vnc with virt-viewver, is says "Failed to complete handshake Error in the pull function". i try to change the console type to Bochs one and it appear the same. i change to QXL mode and the vm can't start any more. i check the log, it says "unsupported configuration: domain configuration does not support video model 'qxl'". so now i can't visit my vm by anyway. i deploy the engine follow the official instruction and keep mostly option default but why still have this issue. why the noVNC says "Something went wrong" instead of telling me what is actually wrong

Oracle Virtualization Manager 4.5 anyone?
by Thomas Hoberg 29 Apr '24

29 Apr '24

Redhat's decision to shut down RHV caught Oracle pretty unprepared, I'd guess, who had just shut down their own vSphere clone in favor of a RHV clone a couple of years ago. Oracle is even less vocal about their "Oracle Virtualization" strategy, they don't even seem to have a proper naming convention or branding. But they have been pushing out OV releases without a publicly announced EOL almost a year behind Redhat for the last years. And after a 4.4 release in September 22, a few days ago on December 12th actually a release 4.5 was made public. I've operated oVirt 4.3 with significant quality issues for some years and failed to make oVirt 4.4 work with any degree of acceptable stability but Oracle's variant of 4.4 proved to be rather better than 4.3 on CentOS7 with no noticable bugs, especially in the Hyperconverged setup that I am using with GlusterFS. I assumed that this was because Oracle based their 4.4 in fact on RHV 4.4 and not oVirt, but since they're not telling, who knows? One issue with 4.4 was that Oracle is pushing their UE-Kernel and that created immediate issues e.g. with VDO missing modules for UEK and other stuff, but that was solved easily enough by using the RHEL kernel. With 4.5 Oracle obviously can't use RHV 4.5 as a base, because there is no such thing with RHV declared EOL and according to Oracle their 4.5 is based on oVirt 4.5.4, which made the quality of that release somewhat questionable, but perhaps they have spent the year that has passed since productively killing bugs... only to be caught by surprise again, I presume, by an oVirt release 4.5.5 on December 1st, that no one saw coming! Long story slightly shorter, I've been testing Oracle's 4.5 variant a bit and it's not without issues. But much worse, Oracle's variant of oVirt seems to be entirely without any community that I could find. Now oVirt has been a somewhat secret society for years, but compared to what's going on with Oracle this forum is teaming with life! So did I just not look around enough? Is there a secret lair where all those OV users are hiding? Anyhow, here is what I've tested so far and where I'd love to have some feedback: 1. Setting up a three node HCI cluster from scratch using OL8.9 and OV 4.5 Since I don't have extra physical hardware for a 3 node HCI I'm using VMware workstation 17.5 on a Workstation running Windows 2022, a test platform that has been working for all kinds of virtualization tests from VMware ESXi, via Xcp-ng and ovirt. Created three VMs with OL8.9 minimal and then installed OV 4.5. I used the UEK default kernels and then had an issue when Ansible is trying to create the (local) management engine: the VM simply could not reach the Oracle repo servers to install the packages inside the ME. Since that VM is entirely under the control of Ansible and no console access of any type is possible in that installation phase, I couldn't do diagnostics. But with 4.4 I used to have similar issues and there switching back to the Redhat kernel for the ME (and the hosts) resolved them. But with 4.5 it seems that UEK has become a baked-in dependency: the OV team doesn't even seem to do any testing with the Redhat kernel any more. Or not with the HCI setup, which has become deprecated somewhere in oVirt 4.4... Or not with the Cockpit wizard, which might be in a totally untested state, or.... Doing the same install on OL 8.9 with OV 4.4, however, did work just fine and I was even able to update to 4.5 afterwards, which was a nice surprise... ...that I could not repeat on my physical test farm using three Atoms. There switching to the UEK kernel on the hosts caused issues, hosts were becoming unresponsive, file systems inaccessible, even if they were perfectly fine at the Gluster CLI level and in the end the ME VM simply would not longer start. Switching back to the Redhat kernel resolved things there. In short, switching between the Redhat kernel and UEK, which should be 100% transparent to all things userland including hypervisors, doesn't work. But my attempts to go with a clean install of 4.5 on a Redhat kernel or UEK is also facing issues. So far the only thing that has worked was a single node HCI install using UEK and OV 4.5 and upgrading to OV 4.5 on a virtualized triple node OV 4.4 HCI cluster. Anyone else out there trying these things? I was mostly determined to move to Proxmox VE, but Oracle's OV 4.5 seemed to be handing a bit of a life-line to oVirt and the base architecture is just much more powerful (or less manual) than Proxmox, which doesn't have a management engine.

Changing disk QoS causes segfault with IO-Threads enabled (oVirt 4.3.0.4-1.el7)
by jloh＠squiz.net 23 Apr '24

23 Apr '24

We recently upgraded to 4.3.0 and have found that when changing disk QoS settings on VMs whilst IO-Threads is enabled causes them to segfault and the VM to reboot. We've been able to replicate this across several VMs. VMs with IO-Threads disabled/turned off do not segfault when changing the QoS. Mar 1 11:49:06 srvXX kernel: IO iothread1[30468]: segfault at fffffffffffffff8 ip 0000557649f2bd24 sp 00007f80de832f60 error 5 in qemu-kvm[5576498dd000+a03000] Mar 1 11:49:06 srvXX abrt-hook-ccpp: invalid number 'iothread1' Mar 1 11:49:11 srvXX libvirtd: 2019-03-01 00:49:11.116+0000: 13365: error : qemuMonitorIORead:609 : Unable to read from monitor: Connection reset by peer Happy to supply some more logs to someone if they'll help but just wondering whether anyone else has experienced this or knows of a current fix other than turning io-threads off.

Internal pentest result : Ovirt-engine authentication bypass
by Jirka Simon 13 Feb '24

13 Feb '24

Hello ovirt comunity. We had an internal pentest here and one finding is *Ovirt-engine authentication bypass.* Ovirt-engine, as deployed on ovirtm.XXX.XXX.cz, contains an authentication bypass. It is possible to directly call the CreateUserSessionCommand using runAction exposed by /ovirt- engine/webadmin/GenericApiGWTService. *This action explicitly enables everyone to call it:* ```/ @Override protected boolean isUserAuthorizedToRunAction() { return true; } /``` The behavior of this call differs based on the ENGINE_SSO_ENABLE_EXTERNAL_SSO configuration option: ``` /boolean externalSsoEnabled = EngineLocalConfig.getInstance().getBoolean("ENGINE_SSO_ENABLE_EXTERNAL_SSO"); DbUser dbUser = externalSsoEnabled ? dbUserDao.getByUsernameAndDomain(params.getPrincipalName(), authzName) : dbUserDao.getByExternalId(authzName, params.getPrincipalId());/ ``` If this option is enabled, usernames are used to locate users. If it's disabled, the externalId (which seems to be a randomly generated GUID) is used to locate users. If the specified user exists, a session is returned for the user.

Nested Virtualization in AMD Ryzen
by LS CHENG 03 Feb '24

03 Feb '24

Hi all I am running OLVM 4.5, this is a test setup which was running in my old workstation with Intel CPU and is nested virtualization (with VMWare Workstation), the host was running Windows 7 x64, I moved to AMD Ryzen 7950X3D a couple of days ago which runs Windows 11 x64 with 128GB memory then moved OLVM VM's from the old workstation to this new workstation. The problem I face now is the KVM hosts shows this error *Host kvm1 moved to Non-Operational state as host CPU type is not supported in this cluster compatibility version or is not supported at all* I modified /etc/modprobe.d/kvm.conf and changed options kvm_amd nested=0 to options kvm_amd nested=1 reboot the kvm host but still getting same error, I verified the modification and seems good [root@kvm1 ~]# cat /sys/module/kvm_amd/parameters/nested 1 In Windows 11 I have hyper-v off and Memory Integrity is also off. Am I missing any additional steps? Thanks

Major screwup and now I can't bring anything up
by John Florian 02 Feb '24

02 Feb '24

I have a small home oVirt 4.5 deployment that was struggling a bit and I think I've only made things worse. I was seeing some SSL errors in various places but couldn't find any evidence of an expired cert though maybe I overlooked something. At present, it looks like the most immediate problem is that the engine.log is showing SyncNetworkProviderCommand fails saying EngineException: (Failed with error Unsupported or unrecognized SSL message and code 5050). For now, I'm only concerning myself to one Host that had been running VMs until I tried restarting everything from a power off. I take it that the sync failure prevents this Host from becoming active. I had successfully been using this setup for many years. I do have my own web cert on the engine signed by my CA. While I was getting this same "code 5050" error before with things like ovirt-imageio (what prompted my initial digging), now I'm afraid I've only made things more complex. See, I was running FreeIPA on a pair of VMs. In the past, this pair of VMs would auto-start once the oVirt Engine and Hosts were going and I had no issue. But now I wonder to what extent OSCP being unreachable might affect the SSL errors. What's the best/easiest/safest way out of this mess? Should I just wipe ovirt-engine of all the non-rpm provided files in /etc/pki/ovirt-engine/ and redo the engine-setup? I'm afraid of making things worse before I begin attempting that.

HE Storage Domain Path Config Setting - Where?
by Matthew J Black 30 Jan '24

30 Jan '24

Hey Guys, Quick Q: In which file (on a Hosted-Engine or Hosted-Engine Host) is the configuration for the path to a Storage Domain kept - in particular, the "hosted-engine" Storage Domain? I've got something "funny" going on: the logs (as far as I can see) are reporting that 2 of my 3 HE-Hosts can't connect to the HE Storage Domain (but don't explain why), and the OVE GUI is reporting an "odd" (ie incorrect; non-existent) path to the HE Storage Domain. Via CLI I have confirmed that all three HE Hosts *can* reach (ie have the correct "findmnt" mappings) to the HE Storage Domain's actual file location, and I can't locate the "ghost" HE Storage Domain path or its config setting anywhere - so I don't even know if that's the issue, but I'd like to eliminate it from my trouble-shooting process. Anyway, if someone could get back to me, please, I'd really appreciate it. Cheers Dulux-Oz

Forbid hosts/nodes from assembling a soft-raid that was created inside a VM
by Vladislav Solovei 27 Jan '24

27 Jan '24

When I create a soft-raid (md-raid) inside a virtual machine (yes, sometimes it's necessary to do this to get a disk inside the VM with a capacity of more than 8TB), the host/node detects this array and assembles it automatically. I tried adding the parameter 'raid=noautodetect' to the kernel boot parameters, but it doesn't help. Is it possible to prevent hosts from doing this? :)

Low confirmed free space on gluster volume
by Jonas 27 Jan '24

27 Jan '24

Hello list I am regularly getting the following error on a Gluster volume hosted on a three node hyperconverged oVirt-Cluster: Warning! Low confirmed free space on gluster volume tier1-owncloud-users-01 This volume is configured with 3TiB (2.5TIB used) and is used as the name implies to store data of an ownCloud instance. It is not used as a storage domain in oVirt. I don't really want to resize the volume just to make the warning go away. While clicking through the oVirt web interface i found the configuration "Warning Low Confirmed Space Indicator" in the advanced parameters of the storage domains but did not find any similar setting in the configuration of the gluster volumes. Do you know of way to configure this setting for a gluster volume which is not used as a storage domain? Thank you Jonas

Change Hosted Engine VM MAC address
by Sergei Panchenko 26 Jan '24

26 Jan '24

Good morning, colleagues! Due some network issues I need to change HostedEngine VM MAC address. The additional diffeculty is unaccessebility of the HE Web-interface via the network (the cause of - those network issues -)). Is there any way to change the HE vNIC's MAC using command line (on the host where HE VM works or on the HE VM)? Thanks in advance, Sergei.

Need help again, new issue with VM import
by Michaal R 24 Jan '24

24 Jan '24

I have a VM that's a little over 4TB in size that won't import for whatever reason. I've tried changing the export from the streaming disk format to a flat vmdk,thinking that might be it, but it didn't work. I've gone through the OVF and don't see anything that stands out. Same for the logs, I see where it's having issues importing the 4TB drive from the VM, but I can't decipher the error messages well enough to know how to fix it. The drives had chkdsk run on them before they were exported, and the VM was cleanly shut down, so I don't understand what the issue is. Not even sure at this point how to run a filesystem repair on the vmdk, in case the export corrupted something. And I can't export it directly from ESXi either, for some reason. Each attempt fails with an unspecified error. Below is a snip from the import log where it's reading the drives. It has one of the first errors: [ 2.492229] scsi host0: Virtio SCSI HBA [ 2.501365] scsi 0:0:0:0: Direct-Access QEMU QEMU HARDDISK 2.5+ PQ: 0 ANSI: 5 [ 2.504080] scsi 0:0:1:0: Direct-Access QEMU QEMU HARDDISK 2.5+ PQ: 0 ANSI: 5 [ 2.506035] scsi 0:0:2:0: Direct-Access QEMU QEMU HARDDISK 2.5+ PQ: 0 ANSI: 5 [ 2.540737] sd 0:0:0:0: Power-on or device reset occurred [ 2.540790] sd 0:0:1:0: Power-on or device reset occurred [ 2.540899] sd 0:0:2:0: Power-on or device reset occurred [ 2.541130] sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] 8589934592 512-byte logical blocks: (4.40 TB/4.00 TiB) [ 2.541168] sd 0:0:2:0: [sdc] 8388608 512-byte logical blocks: (4.29 GB/4.00 GiB) [ 2.541319] sd 0:0:2:0: [sdc] Write Protect is off [ 2.541391] sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Write Protect is off [ 2.541592] sd 0:0:2:0: [sdc] Write cache: enabled, read cache: enabled, doesn't support DPO or FUA [ 2.542019] sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Write cache: enabled, read cache: enabled, doesn't support DPO or FUA [ 2.544060] sd 0:0:2:0: [sdc] Attached SCSI disk [ 2.545294] sd 0:0:1:0: [sdb] 251658240 512-byte logical blocks: (129 GB/120 GiB) [ 2.545437] sd 0:0:1:0: [sdb] Write Protect is off [ 2.545966] sd 0:0:1:0: [sdb] Write cache: enabled, read cache: enabled, doesn't support DPO or FUA [ 2.551250] sdb: sdb1 sdb2 [ 2.556698] sd 0:0:1:0qemu-nbd: Disconnect client, due to: Failed to send reply: reading from file failed: Invalid argument : [sdb] Attached SCSI disk qemu-nbd: Disconnect client, due to: Failed to send reply: reading from file failed: Invalid argument qemu-nbd: Disconnect client, due to: Failed to send reply: reading from file failed: Invalid argument [ 2.618883] sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] tag#157 FAILED Result: hostbyte=DID_OK driverbyte=DRIVER_OK cmd_age=0s [ 2.618890] sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] tag#157 Sense Key : Aborted Command [current] [ 2.618892] sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] tag#157 Add.

Which configurations have you done on it before running > the hosted-engine --deploy? > Also, what is your full hosted-engine deployment command? > I deployed the KVM hosts using the guide at: https://www.ovirt.org/documentation/installing_ovirt_as_a_self-hosted_engin… (section 4.2 Installing Enterprise Linux Hosts) and https://www.ovirt.org/download/install_on_rhel.html Most of the ovirt packages were installed from the installation of the ovirt-engine-appliance. The KVM hosts are using EL 9.3. I've tried on two different EL hosts: one with the standard ovirt-45 repos, and the other had the nightly builds enabled. I observed the same issues on both. I haven't changed any specific settings, such as networking or storage. The full command to deploy the engine VM was done via: hosted-engine --deploy --4 I have just setup glusterfs just as a temporary storage option now (yet to run the deploy again), though I'm not sure how to get ovirt to use it. As mentioned I don't know whether this or the networking is causing it to fail. In case it is important, I notice that virtnetworkd.socket systemd unit gets killed during the deployment, and has to be restarted otherwise the deployment fails prematurely. It also masks all the libvirtd systemd units as part of the cleanup, and these have to manually unmasked and several need manually restarting (virtnetword.socket, virtqemud.socket and virtstoraged.sock) before the deployment is run again or the deploy will fail on trying to communicate with these. Thanks very much for the help, let me know if any further information needed.

Thanks very for the reply Marcos.

Apple Mac Pro 2013 install hangs with oVirt Node installer 4.5 but ok with 4.3.10
by john＠alwayson.net.au 24 Jan '24

24 Jan '24

This hardware (6 Core Xeon E5-1650v2) successfully runs Fedora 39 and oVirt 4.3.10 (CentOS 7) but freezes immediately when attempting to boot from either of the latest node installer ISOs: ovirt-node-ng-installer-latest-el8.iso ovirt-node-ng-installer-latest-el9.iso I suspect it will require tweaks to the kernel parameters which will need to be made to the ISO installer image prior to booting. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks

oVirt nodes with local storage
by Wild Star 21 Jan '24

21 Jan '24

On the weekend I upgraded my self-hosted oVirt engine to 4.56. All went well with that! I also spotted that there was an update for all my 4.54 nodes, but something has changed with the repo overnight because none of my nodes see updates anymore, though the update remains available here … https://resources.ovirt.org/pub/ovirt-4.5/iso/ovirt-node-ng-installer/. Yesterday, I attempted to update just one of my nodes and ran into this snag… “Local storage domains were found on the same filesystem as / ! Please migrate the data to a new LV before upgrading, or you will lose the VMs”. I’ve always stored my VMs in a separate /DATA directory off the root filesystem, and shared the local storage using NFS. I know it’s not ideal, but with good frequent regular backups, it has served me well for many years. A Google search revealed, that others have also had similar local storage issues, and suggestions on ways to mitigate the issue, including the oVirt documentation found here… https://www.ovirt.org/documentation/upgrade_guide/index.html#Upgrading_hype…, is not my preferred fix. In the past node updates with my local storage were not a problem and were easy peasy! From some of the discussions I saw at Red Hat, I have deduced (maybe wrongly) that there was an issue that necessitated a fix, which introduced a required check for local storage during the upgrade process. I probably should move all the local storage off the oVirt nodes, but at this time, that is easier said than done. I’m posting here only to see if there are perhaps other ideas or perspectives I may not have thought of and should consider with my local storage. Thank you all in advance, much appreciated, and of course, thank you all for supporting oVirt!

Odd behavior after upgrade to 4.5
by Seann G. Clark 19 Jan '24

19 Jan '24

All, I just recently upgraded from 4.3 to 4.5, and while most of the upgrade went smoothly and I didn't see any major issues, I have noticed a few things that are causing problems. The one piece that I had to sneak in to make the install successful, is push my CA and intermediate CA certs into the engine after it came up the first time, but before it fully installed, otherwise it would fail restoring the backup. This is to address using a custom Apache cert for the hosted engine, instead of the default self-signed CA. The biggest issue is with keycloak. To make the upgrade succeed I had to skip keycloak installation, after doing some digging related to this error: "Failed to execute stage 'Misc configuration': 'OVESETUP_OVN/ovirtProviderOvnSecret'" I don't actively use OVN in my environment right now, and I think it is all pretty much in the default install state. This is the same error I get when I loop back to install keycloak now that the engine is up. This is what is in the logs for the last few lines preceding the error and failure event: 2024-01-19 19:09:32,602+0000 DEBUG otopi.plugins.ovirt_engine_setup.ovirt_engine.network.ovirtproviderovn plugin.execute:921 execute-output: ('ovn-sbctl', 'set-connection', 'pssl:6642:[::]') stdout: 2024-01-19 19:09:32,602+0000 DEBUG otopi.plugins.ovirt_engine_setup.ovirt_engine.network.ovirtproviderovn plugin.execute:926 execute-output: ('ovn-sbctl', 'set-connection', 'pssl:6642:[::]') stderr: 2024-01-19 19:09:32,626+0000 DEBUG otopi.context context._executeMethod:127 Stage misc METHOD otopi.plugins.ovirt_engine_setup.ovirt_engine.network.ovirtproviderovn.Plugin._misc_configure_ovn_timeout 2024-01-19 19:09:32,627+0000 INFO otopi.plugins.ovirt_engine_setup.ovirt_engine.network.ovirtproviderovn ovirtproviderovn._misc_configure_ovn_timeout:1076 Updating OVN timeout configuration 2024-01-19 19:09:32,628+0000 DEBUG otopi.plugins.ovirt_engine_setup.ovirt_engine.network.ovirtproviderovn plugin.executeRaw:813 execute: ('ovn-sbctl', 'set', 'connection', '.', 'inactivity_probe=60000'), executable='None', cwd='None', env=None 2024-01-19 19:09:32,652+0000 DEBUG otopi.plugins.ovirt_engine_setup.ovirt_engine.network.ovirtproviderovn plugin.executeRaw:863 execute-result: ('ovn-sbctl', 'set', 'connection', '.', 'inactivity_probe=60000'), rc=0 2024-01-19 19:09:32,653+0000 DEBUG otopi.plugins.ovirt_engine_setup.ovirt_engine.network.ovirtproviderovn plugin.execute:921 execute-output: ('ovn-sbctl', 'set', 'connection', '.', 'inactivity_probe=60000') stdout: 2024-01-19 19:09:32,653+0000 DEBUG otopi.plugins.ovirt_engine_setup.ovirt_engine.network.ovirtproviderovn plugin.execute:926 execute-output: ('ovn-sbctl', 'set', 'connection', '.', 'inactivity_probe=60000') stderr: 2024-01-19 19:09:32,677+0000 DEBUG otopi.context context._executeMethod:127 Stage misc METHOD otopi.plugins.ovirt_engine_setup.ovirt_engine.network.ovirtproviderovn.Plugin._misc_configure_provider 2024-01-19 19:09:32,678+0000 DEBUG otopi.context context._executeMethod:145 method exception Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/otopi/context.py", line 132, in _executeMethod method['method']() File "/usr/share/ovirt-engine/setup/bin/../plugins/ovirt-engine-setup/ovirt-engine/network/ovirtproviderovn.py", line 1113, in _misc_configure_provider self._configure_ovirt_provider_ovn() File "/usr/share/ovirt-engine/setup/bin/../plugins/ovirt-engine-setup/ovirt-engine/network/ovirtproviderovn.py", line 796, in _configure_ovirt_provider_ovn content = self._create_config_content() File "/usr/share/ovirt-engine/setup/bin/../plugins/ovirt-engine-setup/ovirt-engine/network/ovirtproviderovn.py", line 761, in _create_config_content OvnEnv.OVIRT_PROVIDER_OVN_SECRET KeyError: 'OVESETUP_OVN/ovirtProviderOvnSecret' 2024-01-19 19:09:32,682+0000 ERROR otopi.context context._executeMethod:154 Failed to execute stage 'Misc configuration': 'OVESETUP_OVN/ovirtProviderOvnSecret' 2024-01-19 19:09:32,683+0000 DEBUG otopi.transaction transaction.abort:124 aborting 'DNF Transaction' I have spent a fair amount of time researching this but haven't found a specific root cause, or solution on this issue.

Cannot update oVirt Node
by Gianluca Amato 19 Jan '24

19 Jan '24

Hello, I am trying to update my oVirt installation to 4.5.5, but while I had no problems upgrading the self-hosted ovirt-engine, I am not able to upgrade any node (running oVirt Node NG 4.5.4 or older). I just click Upgrade in the oVirt Manager, and I get a bunch of events telling me that everything was OK and the upgrade succeeded, but in reality nothing happened on the nodes: the result of "nodectl info" before and after the upgrade process is exactly the same. I gave a look to the engine.log and to the relevant ovirt-host-mgmt-ansible log in the ovirt-engine VM, but I cannot find the problem. Do any of you have any ideas ? I am attaching some relevant files. Note that the upgrade consistently fails in the same way on other nodes, which have other versions of oVirt Node NG (always in the 4.5 family). Thanks for your help --gianluca

virt-viewer - lost partialy connectivity
by paf1＠email.cz 19 Jan '24

19 Jan '24

Hello, after update centos9-stream to latest packages with ovirt 4.5.5 I lost VMs console connectivity . For html5 option I lost all ( can't connect anyway ) For virt-viewer option only partially, can view output screen, but keyboard has no input ( sometimes accept enter ) I tried to reinstall ovirt-vmconsole-host-1.0.9-3.el9.noarch and ovirt- vmconsole-1.0.9-3.el9.noarch , but with no success, the same situation with reinstall virt-viewer 11.0 locally ( ubuntu 23.04 last updates ). This stopped my VMs deploying :( . Exists any fix or workaround about this issue ?? thx. a lot regs. Pavel

Actually , the vdsmd trick is needed only to fool the engine that the host has failed (you need to disable the fencing or prevent it somehow - like changing the ipmi user's password).The engine itself uses ssh to distribute the new certificate to the host.

CAUTION: Be careful of links - This email originated from outside of Certida.Hi, Recently I found another way to renew the certificates on a one-node self-hosted environment.The trick is to stop vdsmd and wait till the engine shows the system unresponsive. Then you can trigger a certificate renewal and just power on vdsmd again.

The only tweak I would make is that there were a few more destinations at the end to copy the files into, and instead of rebooting the host we found that just restarting vdsmd and libvirtd got everything working without any existing VMs having to stop. Here's a complete update of what you have above intermingling some extra bits for anyone who has to do this in the future. If the certs on your oVirt host expire, it can be a PITA to figure out how to fix it. It's actually simple, but takes a LOT of manual work.

Running this restart was safe for us and didn't cause any running VMs to crash or reboot -- they kept going without issue. Once we did this, waited a few minutes, the host came back up on the engine and everything was happy.

NVIDIA vGPU driver for Ovirt 4.5.4
by michael.a.silveira3.ctr＠us.navy.mil 18 Jan '24

18 Jan '24

Hello, Does anyone know which, if any, NVIDIA GRID driver supports Ovirt 4.5.4 on Ovirt-node (kernel 4.18.0-408.el8.x86_64)? I've recently upgraded to Ovirt 4.5 and can't find a NVIDIA GRID driver that will connect to my Tesla v100 on the new kernel. nvidia-smi returns the following no matter what driver I install: NVIDIA-SMI has failed because it couldn't communicate with the NVIDIA driver. Make sure that the latest NVIDIA driver is installed and running.

Cannot restart ovirt after massive failure.
by Gilboa Davara 18 Jan '24

18 Jan '24

Hello all, During the night, one of my (smaller) setups, a single node self hosted engine (localhost NFS) crashed due to what-looks-like a massive disk failure (Software RAID6, with 10 drives + spare). After a reboot, I let the RAID resync with a fresh drive) and went on to start oVirt. However, no such luck. Two issues: 1. ovirt-ha-broker fails due to broken hosted engine state (log attached). 2. ovirt-ha-agent fails due to network test (tcp) even though both remote-host and DNS servers are active. (log attached). Two questions: 1. Can I somehow force the agent to disable the network liveliness test? 2. Can I somehow force the broker to rebuild / fix the hosted engine state? - Gilboa

VDSM Command DetachStorageDomainVDS Failed
by Matthew J Black 18 Jan '24

18 Jan '24

Hi All, So after having an oVirt cluster crash (no data loss (at this stage), thankfully) and rebuilding from scratch, I'm trying to import the old Storage Domains. I've been successful with three (automatically "detaching" from the old, now non-existent hosts) but one is giving me the following error from the hosted-engine GUI: ~~~ VDSM command DetachStorageDomainVDS failed: Cannot acquire host id: ('e311ddf1-7f2c-49ef-a618-050d9a2b947f', SanlockException(19, 'Sanlock lockspace add failure', 'No such device')) ~~~ I am going to assume ("make an ass out for you and me") that I can run the required command from the cli with a "-force" flag (I hope), so my Q is: What is the command, because I can't seem to find it in any doco (most probably because I'm old and my eyes are feeble :-) ). Any help gratefully appreciated - FTR: that particular Storage Domain have a bunch of VM Images on it which I'd rather import/recover than have to create from scratch. Cheers Dulux-Oz

Deployment Error: Host is not up - Looking For Some Advice/Pointers
by Matthew J Black 18 Jan '24

18 Jan '24

Hi All, So, on a fresh install on RL v9.3, we're getting a `Host is not up, please check logs, perhaps also on the engine machine` error. This comes up right after the 20min timeout (the 120sec * 10 one). No, the hosted-engine is not deployed (ie hosted-engine --check-deployed). Obviously I need to check the logs, but which ones in particular (the hosted-engine-setup logs, obviously, but which other ones), where are they if the hosted-engine is not running, and, in an effort to narrow down the volume of info to a more manageable level, what should I be looking for? Thanks in advance
