How to list all snapshots?
by jorgevisentini＠gmail.com 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

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. 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 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!

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 !

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

VM start order
by Sergei Panchenko 13 Aug '24

13 Aug '24

Good morning! Is there any way to configure VM start order? For example, I would like to make it so VM3 starts only after VM2 starts and VM2 starts only after VM1 starts. I know about run/migrate priority, but it is the other scenario.

Unable to add logical interface
by Jeremy Tourville 30 Jul '24

30 Jul '24

List: I have a single host that was added to my cluster and operational. My management engine is running in a separate, dedicated pc. When making some network changes and testing them, I made the mistake of removing the virtual interface using nmtui on the host. Now when I try to add the logical network to the host again, I get an error message: "Operation cancelled Error while executing action: Cannot setup Networks. Operation can be performed only when Host status is Maintenance, Up, Non-Operational." My host is configured so that: Eth0 is ovirtmgmt Eth1 is storage The system is hyperconverged. I am getting the correct IP/subnets on each NIC. What do I need to do to add the logical network back to the host?

Recommendation for iSCSI configuration
by De Lee 30 Jul '24

30 Jul '24

Hi, I'm currently running the platform with following version and facing the issue with iSCSI timeout issue during the network switch maintenance. oVirt Version 4.5 oVirt manager : Redhat 9.0 oVirt node : Rocky 9.4 Here's a drawing of the topology: +---------------+ | Storage | +---------------+ 192.168.11.2 | | 192.168.11.1 | | 10GbE Links | | +---------------+ +---------------+ | Nexus 5k #1 | | Nexus 5k #2 | +---------------+ +---------------+ 192.168.11.3 | | 192.168.11.4 | | 10GbE Links | | +---------------+ | oVirt 4.5 | +---------------+ VLANx: 192.168.11.3/28 VLANx: 192.168.11.4/28 I've configured the oVirt nodes without bonding,it works like one NIC assigned with vLANX with IP .3 and another NIC assigned with vLANX with IP .4. I could see actively only NIC is utilizing the iSCSI traffic(without ISCSI Bond). I would like to utilize both NIC traffic Active-Active mode what is the topology to follow? [iSCSI in LACP is not recommended for iscsi traffic which read from blog].Correct me if I'm wrong. When actively used NIC connected switch reboot,the iscsi traffic which over to another nic takes almost 30 seconds.Can I reduce the failover of NIC timing from 30 seconds to 3 seconds something like that? I don't see the lapsed timeout behaviour in CentOS 8 but rocky9 behaviors differently. Any suggestions or recommendation?

Why all environment fall if one storage domain going down?
by Kalil de A. Carvalho 29 Jul '24

29 Jul '24

Hello all. Can any one tell me why all environment fall if we lost one domain storage? In my company we have many NFS storages and if just one going down, been rebooted, all host fail. What we realized, I do not know if it is true, is if one host can´t communicate with the storage it will be rebooted or if the use of memory is too high it will be rebooted too. Are those two impressions real? Best regards -- Atenciosamente, Kalil de A. Carvalho

I already read somewhere in the docs, it should be fine taking this approach as long the Storage Domain version and oVirt version are same. ________________________________ From: Matthew.Stier(a)fujitsu.com<mailto:Matthew.Stier@fujitsu.com> <Matthew.Stier(a)fujitsu.com<mailto:Matthew.Stier@fujitsu.com>> Sent: Thursday, 25 July 2024 05:06 To: Nur Imam Febrianto <nur_imam(a)outlook.com<mailto:nur_imam@outlook.com>>; oVirt Users <users(a)ovirt.org<mailto:users@ovirt.org>> Subject: RE: Problem with OVF and Bad Volume Specification Are you migrating data "storage domains" between data centers?

Correct. I'm migrating between datacenter that have a different hosted engine. Also using same version (source is oVirt 4.5 on el8, destionation is oVirt 4.5 on el9 and OLVM 4.5 on OL8).
