VM actual size is showing more than the virtual size
by rootpentester20＠gmail.com 28 Feb '24

28 Feb '24

Hi team, I am using Ovirt 4.4 and ISCSI as my storage domain. Some of my VMs have actual sizes showing more than virtual size and when we look inside the Vm the used space is much less than the actual size. What could be an issue here and how can we resolve the same? Any help will be highly appreciated.

Locked VHDD - Help To Unlock/Delete
by Matthew J Black 27 Feb '24

27 Feb '24

Hi All, I've gone and made a (bad) mistake. When creating a new VM I accidentally selected the wrong Storage Domain for the VM's VHDD; a Storage Domain with less space available than the size of the new (thick provisioned) VHDD. So now I want to delete that VHDD (and possibly the accompanying VM) and start over. However, the VHDD is "Locked" and I can't figure out a way to delete it (or Unlock it, or delete the VM, or Unattach the VHDD, etc, etc, etc). I can't find anything online so hopefully someone here can help me out. For the record I have full Admin access to *all* physical and virtual resources and I don't mind doing things via CLI (which I suspect is what's going to be required). I'm also familia with SQL (MariaDB, MS-SQL) but not Postgres, so if this is going to required manipulating the oVirt DB then so-be-it, I can do that as well. Thanks in advance Cheers Dulux-Oz

ovirt-45-upstream GPG Key Error
by Matthew J Black 27 Feb '24

27 Feb '24

Hi All, We just picked up a GPG Key error when running `dnf install ovirt-engine-appliance` in preparation of a fresh oVirt v4.5.5 install on RL v9.3: ~~~ oVirt upstream for CentOS Stream 9 - oVirt 4.5 79 kB/s | 1.6 kB 00:00 Importing GPG key 0x24901D0C: Userid : "oVirt <infra(a)ovirt.org>" Fingerprint: 3C98 E81D B93D EA6D 54DE 690E 44E4 75CB 2490 1D0C From : /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-oVirt-4.5 Is this ok [y/N]: y Key imported successfully Import of key(s) didn't help, wrong key(s)? Public key for ovirt-engine-appliance-4.5-20231201120201.1.el9.x86_64.rpm is not installed. Failing package is: ovirt-engine-appliance-4.5-20231201120201.1.el9.x86_64 GPG Keys are configured as: file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-oVirt-4.5 ~~~ An error? An issue with the repo definition? Can it safely be ignored (normally I'd say "No" but its from the oVirt Tam's own repo...)? Is the fingerprint above the correct one (and for that matter, where is the GPG Key's Fingerprint recorded on the oVirt Website so that we can check compliance ourselves)? Anyway, thought I'd let people know (further details can be provide upon request) Cheers Dulux-Oz

Using External CA
by Brent Saner 26 Feb '24

26 Feb '24

Hello all- I am looking for a methodology to force oVirt to use certs/keys managed and deployed externally. These are automated by our various automation systems and are configured to match our security policies. Rogue and/or non-transparent and/or standalone CAs in our org do not comply with our security policy. If I pre-deploy certificates and keys, does oVirt engine still need to be a CA? Similarly, our encryption policy requires use of RSA 4096 or ED25519 for SSH. This, as I understand it, is also not compatible with the RSA 2048 generated/used by the engine's internal CA. Is SSHing to this new host using this key necessary, or can I externally enroll a new host into a cluster or - if not - use different SSH key via the engine (likely derived from the above/below-mentioned certs, which may be RSA 4096)? Essentially, could I: 1. Pre-provision certificates and keys in /etc/pki/ovirt-*/ with the appropriate filenames<https://www.ovirt.org/develop/release-management/features/infra/pki.html#fi…> 2. Run engine-setup for the first time (using an answers file)? Will engine-setup balk at the existence of those files, silently overwrite them, or use them? Thanks in advance.

VM disk went un-allocated after storage migration
by rootpentester20＠gmail.com 25 Feb '24

25 Feb '24

Hi Team, I am using Ovirt 4.4, I added new storage LUN and did a storage migration of one VM disk which had 400GB of data. AFter migration, the disk became un-allocated in windows and now it's asking to re-initialize, I am afraid that data has been lost. Is there a way we can recover it back? Thanks

4.5.5. install ovirt engine stops error node-ansible-async_wrapper.py [16052] still running 55070.
by antonio.riggio＠mail.com 22 Feb '24

22 Feb '24

I noticed when doing the install of the engine it cant be done in the cockpit i dont see the tab in the frame so I did the install command line no problem with that. During the install of the engine it disconnects and in the messages it just continues with node-ansible-async_wrapper.py [16052] still running 55070. Any idea what this means ? How can I get this to install. I have done 4.3 installs in past with no problems.

importing local storage domain problem
by Gianluca Cecchi 21 Feb '24

21 Feb '24

Hello, I had a lab environment in 4.4.10, composed of only one host and local storage DC and with an external engine. I had 3 disks on this system, with OS in the first one and local storage domains in the second and third one. I detached the storage domains (I forgot to remove them afterwards) from the original env Afterwards I created a completely new engine on 4.5 (not using any backup) and then I reutilized the host installing the OS in the first disk overwriting the previous env. I have mounted the filesystems for the storage domains on the second and third disk as before, but I see that if I try to execute "import storage domain", the local type is not there. And if I select "new storage domain" I receive the error operation canceled Error while executing action New Local Storage Domain: Error in creating a Storage Domain. The selected storage path is not empty (probably contains another Storage Domain). Either remove the existing Storage Domain from this path, or change the Storage path). Is there any file I can delete from the directory tree that reproduces the "removal" action I forgot? Or any workarounds? Thanks in advance, Gianluca
