Hosted Engine Deployment timeout waiting for VM
by Jonas Liechti 04 Feb '26

04 Feb '26

Hello users, I am currently trying to deploy the self-hosted engine via the web interface but it seems stuck at the task "Wait for the local VM" (https://github.com/oVirt/ovirt-ansible-collection/blob/master/roles/hosted_…) I am unsure what to look at for getting more info as I haven't worked a lot with Ansible before. Do you have any idea how to debug? The temporary IP is added to /etc/hosts and I can also login to the VM via SSH: [root@server-005 ~]# cat /etc/hosts 192.168.1.97 ovirt-engine-test.admin.int.rabe.ch # temporary entry added by hosted-engine-setup for the bootstrap VM 127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain localhost4 localhost4.localdomain4 ::1 localhost localhost.localdomain localhost6 localhost6.localdomain6 10.128.16.5 server-005.admin.int.rabe.ch 10.128.16.6 server-006.admin.int.rabe.ch 10.128.16.7 server-007.admin.int.rabe.ch #10.128.32.2 ovirt-engine-test.admin.int.rabe.ch 10.132.16.5 server-005.storage.int.rabe.ch 10.132.16.6 server-006.storage.int.rabe.ch 10.132.16.7 server-007.storage.int.rabe.ch [root@server-005 ~]# ssh ovirt-engine-test.admin.int.rabe.ch root(a)ovirt-engine-test.admin.int.rabe.ch's password: Web console: https://ovirt-engine-test.admin.int.rabe.ch:9090/ or https://192.168.1.97:9090/ Last login: Mon Apr 18 11:33:53 2022 from 192.168.1.1 [root@ovirt-engine-test ~]# ip a 1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN group default qlen 1000 link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00 inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever inet6 ::1/128 scope host valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever 2: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc fq_codel state UP group default qlen 1000 link/ether 00:16:3e:58:7a:a3 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff inet 192.168.1.97/24 brd 192.168.1.255 scope global dynamic noprefixroute eth0 valid_lft 2313sec preferred_lft 2313sec inet6 fe80::216:3eff:fe58:7aa3/64 scope link valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever Thank you for any tips for debugging.

Unable to upload or download iso via admin portal

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.

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.

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

Host deploy failure: Configure OVN for oVirt
by stephan.badenhorst＠fnb.co.za 05 Jan '25

05 Jan '25

Good day, I am running into a problem during host deploy via the oVirt engine GUI since upgrading to ovirt-engine-4.5.5-1.el8. The "Configure OVN for oVirt" task seem to fail when trying to run the vdsm-tool ovn-config command. Host deploy used to work fine when the engine was on version 4.5.4. Anyone that can guide me on the right path to get past this issue? Does not seem to be a new problem - https://lists.ovirt.org/archives/list/users@ovirt.org/thread/IDLGSBQFX35EHH… Log extract: 2024-02-01 14:48:19 SAST - TASK [ovirt-provider-ovn-driver : Configure OVN for oVirt] ********************* . . .

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.

oVirt CLI tool for automation tasks
by munnadawood＠gmail.com 15 Nov '24

15 Nov '24

We recently migrated from VMware to oVirt. I am looking for any CLI tool well suited for my automation tasks like VM create, clone, migrate 100s of Virtual machines in oVirt cluster. with VMware I was using govc (vSphere CLI built on top of govmomi). Another option I read is powercli, quite unsure if it works with oVirt. Any suggestions would be highly appreciated. Thanks!

Images upload - Content Security Policy
by jiri.mikulas＠mibcon.cz 08 Nov '24

08 Nov '24

Hello I'm using Oracle Linux with ovirt-engine 4.5.5-1.22.el8 Operating System: Oracle Linux Server 8.10 Kernel: Linux 5.15.0-301.163.5.2.el8uek.x86_64 After upgrading from ovirt-engine version 4.5.5-1.21.el8 to version 4.5.5-1.22.el8, there seems to be an issue with uploading images. When trying to test the connection for uploading images using Storage -> Domains -> MyStorage -> Disks -> Upload I debugged network communication in "chrome inspect" and received the error: "Refused to connect to https://ovirt-engine:54323/info/ because it appears in neither the connect-src directive nor the default-src directive of the Content Security Policy." Has anyone encountered this problem? I have the CA certificate properly imported since version 4.5.5-1.21.el8, where the uploads worked normally. Regards Jiri

Adding ISO doesn't work
by sol-pl-cm＠nttdata.com 08 Nov '24

08 Nov '24

I have a problem adding ISO. Fresh installation of OracleLinux-R8-U10 with Ovirt Version:4.5.5-1.22.el8 installed on it. I've already gone through all possible forums and threads with a similar problem, but none of them have been solved, and I haven't been able to solve the ISO problem either. Engine is installed as a virtual machine on VMware and manages two KVM hosts (also a fresh install). I replaced the certificates for the test, but it didn't help and I went back to the old configuration. I keep getting a certificate error when running the test, even though I added it to the browser. I tested on different browsers. "Connection to ovirt-imageio service has failed. Ensure that ovirt-engine certificate is registered as a valid CA in the browser." Can I get help here?

Need advice before building a new oVirt Environment
by gbigras＠telesat.com 08 Nov '24

08 Nov '24

My question will be down below but before that here is some background info: I currently have a functioning oVirt env (v4.5.7) with two self-hosted nodes (hand-me-down servers) and shared storage (TrueNAS server) with three data domains: one for the EngineVM (iSCSI), one for the VMs (iSCSI) and one for ISO files (NFS). The powers that be, want to move away from TrueNAS and hand-me-downs and have new servers and a new NAS appliance (most likely NetApp). They are the ones who did not want to spend the money on new gear but now they have changed their minds. I wish that I could have started my oVirt env on the new equipment. This new equipment will take at best 2 months to arrive. In the meantime, I have to create various VMs in my existing environment. Once my new gear arrives, what is the recommended approach: 1 - Start from scratch with a new datacenter/cluster env? Can I migrate VMs from one DC to another? The docs seem to say no. I'm guessing, I would have to export first, then import. 2 - Can my new equipment be part of the same DC but a different cluster? I was thinking that option #2 is the right approach. I could start with storage (ie: new NetApp) as part of the new cluster. Once that is part of the cluster, I can add hosts then finally migrate VMs. What say you? thank you in advance.

Preparing to issue an oVirt release post Red Hat offboarding
by Sandro Bonazzola 01 Nov '24

01 Nov '24

Hi, Oracle fixed CVE-2024-7259 ( https://github.com/oVirt/ovirt-engine/security/advisories/GHSA-8xjm-j7fq-3w… ) in oVirt Engine and would be nice to issue an oVirt Engine release including the fix. As the current master also includes support for new cluster level 4.8, VDSM needs to be released as well providing cluster level 4.8. As you know, Red Hat offboarded the project and as such there are no more people officially assigned to the project from the company, despite a few of the historical developers still spend some of their free time helping out. I can help building the packages and getting them out on my free time but I have no capacity for doing any testing or documentation updates or release notes related to this release. Last oVirt Engine (4.5.6) was also released last February without any formal release announce. Any volunteer to look into differences between current master and current stable release and see if anything else needs to be released other than ovirt-engine and vdsm? Any volunteer to write release notes and update the website accordingly? Any volunteer to run ovirt-system-test on https://github.com/oVirt/ovirt-engine/pull/970 and https://github.com/oVirt/vdsm/pull/422 as OST doesn't run anymore on GitHub? Regards, -- Sandro Bonazzola

Installation of hosts on RHEL9

Hi, I’m migrating to oVirst 4.7 and RHEL9. The engine is up and running but I have problems testing adding new hosts. It fails running the command: sudo vdsm-tool ovn-config $IP $FQDN. The message is Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python3.9/site-packages/vdsm/tool/ovn_config.py", line 118, in get_network return networks[net_name] KeyError: '$FQDN' And indeed if I print net_caps in the method net_caps of ovn_config, it says: {'networks': {} ... I have been unable to understand where this information is coming from, what is missing in my host ? Are they the networks as configured in the engine ?

HostedEngine VM doesn't start because in QXL video type mode
by Mario Indelicato 31 Oct '24

31 Oct '24

Hi, I don't know how this happened but after an host reboot, the HostedEngine VM didn't started anymore. The error in the log is: "unsupported configuration: domain configuration does not support video model 'qxl'" This is a single host test environment, OS is Rocky 9.4, so I know it's expected that QXL video is not supported anymore. I tried editing the HostedEngine VM configuration via virsh, but when I start the VM it keeps trying to use QXL. Also the VM conf in "/var/run/ovirt-hosted-engine-ha/vm.conf" says the video type is always QXL. I tried dumping the XML configuration, edit the XML, undefined e re-define the VM from the updated XML, but still it uses QXL!!! I'm resigned myself that the only solution is to re-deploy the HostedEngine from scratch. Unless some of you can provide an alternative solution. Many thanks in advance Mario

We are excited to announce that the call for proposals is now open for the Virtualization and Cloud infrastructure devroom at the upcoming FOSDEM 2025, to be hosted on Sunday (Feb 2) 2025. This devroom is a collaborative effort, and is organized by dedicated folks from projects such as OpenStack, Xen Project, KubeVirt, QEMU, KVM, and Foreman. We invite everyone involved in these fields to submit your proposals by December 8th, 2024. About the Devroom The Virtualization & IaaS devroom will feature session topics such as open source hypervisors or virtual machine managers such as Xen Project, KVM, bhyve and VirtualBox as well as Infrastructure-as-a-Service projects such as KubeVirt, Apache CloudStack, OpenStack, QEMU and OpenNebula. This devroom will host presentations that focus on topics of shared interest, such as KVM; libvirt; shared storage; virtualized networking; cloud security; clustering and high availability; interfacing with multiple hypervisors; hyperconverged deployments; and scaling across hundreds or thousands of servers. Presentations in this devroom will be aimed at developers working on these platforms who are looking to collaborate and improve shared infrastructure or solve common problems. We seek topics that encourage dialog between projects and continued work post-FOSDEM. Important Dates Submission deadline: 8th December 2024 Acceptance notifications: 10th December 2024 Final schedule announcement: 15th December 2024 Devroom: 2nd February 2025 Submit Your Proposal All submissions must be made via the Pretalx event planning site[1]. It is a new submission system so you will need to create an account. If you submitted proposals for FOSDEM in previous years, you won’t be able to use your existing account. During submission please make sure to select Virtualization and Cloud infrastructure from the Track list. Please provide a meaningful abstract and description of your proposed session. Submission Guidelines We expect more proposals than we can possibly accept, so it is vitally important that you submit your proposal on or before the deadline. Late submissions are unlikely to be considered. All presentation slots are 30 minutes, with 20 minutes planned for presentations, and 10 minutes for Q&A.

Re: [External] : Lost console access to VMs after updating

Malcom, here the solution to your actual issue: Replace the following file with the attached one: # /etc/httpd/conf.d/olvm45-security-fixes.conf The final fix will be there with release ending with .23. Restart ovirt-engine and httpd services: # systemctl daemon-reload # systemctl restart ovirt-engine # systemctl restart httpd Simon On Oct 14, 2024, at 11:04 PM, Marcos Sungaila via Users <users(a)ovirt.org> wrote: Hi Malcolm, Select the Cluster line at Compute > Cluster and edit it.

Marcos -----Original Message----- From: malcolm.strydom(a)pacxa.com <malcolm.strydom(a)pacxa.com> Sent: Monday, October 14, 2024 11:44 AM To: users(a)ovirt.org Subject: [External] : [ovirt-users] Lost console access to VMs after updating We have a couple OLVM instances. Completely separate with their own managers (ovirt-engine). One is lab and one is prod. I updated the lab engine from 4.5.4-1.0.31.el8 to 4.5.5-1.22.el8 and as soon as that was done and it rebooted I no longer can open VM consoles. This was the update process followed: https://docs.oracle.com/en/virtualization/oracle-linux-virtualization-manag… In troubleshooting I checked for the SASL db which appears to be /etc/libvirt/passwd.db # grep sasldb_path /etc/sasl2/libvirt.conf sasldb_path: /etc/libvirt/passwd.db I can verify the vdsm user and realm is in there # sasldblistusers2 -f /etc/libvirt/passwd.db vdsm@ovirt: userPassword We are using noVNC in the browser and when I click on a vm and then console it opens a new window and just has the "connecting" message. I switched to Native VNC client and downloaded the console.vv file which looks normal inside and when I try and open it with vnc viewer or remote-viewer etc. I get a window that connects, authenticates with the password found in the console.vv but then presented with a display that says "Guest has not initialized the display (yet)." Thinking perhaps I need to update the KVM hosts too I proceeded with the update document listed above but even with the hosts updated nothing has changed. If I tail /var/log/messages when opening a console connection all I see is this: Oct 14 10:33:52 olvm2 kernel: sd 6:0:0:1: Warning! Received an indication that the LUN reached a thin provisioning soft threshold. Oct 14 10:34:41 olvm2 saslpasswd2[55701]: error deleting entry from sasldb: BDB0073 DB_NOTFOUND: No matching key/data pair found Oct 14 10:34:41 olvm2 saslpasswd2[55701]: error deleting entry from sasldb: BDB0073 DB_NOTFOUND: No matching key/data pair found Oct 14 10:34:41 olvm2 saslpasswd2[55701]: error deleting entry from sasldb: BDB0073 DB_NOTFOUND: No matching key/data pair found Oct 14 10:34:41 olvm2 saslpasswd2[55701]: error deleting entry from sasldb: BDB0073 DB_NOTFOUND: No matching key/data pair found I checked the production OLVM cluster which has not been updated and has a properly functioning vnc consoles and it produces the exact same errors shown above in the logs when opening a console. So I don't think that error is the cause if the issue although likely something that needs to be fixed. If I check the VM guest log when opening a console I get nothing. tail -f /var/log/libvirt/qemu/<vm_hostname>.log Has anyone else run into this issue when updating? Any ideas on what more I can look at or troubleshoot?
