Hello=2C
I need a little bit of help to get my setup in a stable state... =3B( I use=
d to have this configuration on three physical machines:
- engine - oVirt 3.2.1/FC18
- host1 - FC18
- host2 - FC18
- NAS with NFS data domains
It all started with my mistake: upgrading the engine to FC19 without checki=
ng oVirt compatibility first. Of course=2C afterwards ovirt-engine wouldn't=
start anymore=2C but I had my VM's running on the two hosts and I thought =
I'd wait it out until 3.3 is released.
Today my email server VM crashed and I cannot start it manually (tried vari=
ations of the qemu-kvm command line=2C created tap devices=2C tried a few =
other things without success).
After a while=2C I bit the bullet and enabled the oVirt 3.3 repo=2C and did=
engine-upgrade. This seem to have worked fine except for a missing link fo=
r Java which I fixed=2C so now I can access the web admin portal. I can see=
the hosts and VM's that are running or stopped but I cannot start any VM=
=2C error message is:
qemu-kvm: -drive file... Permissions denied
I checked the path and everything is accessible on the host.
Since I didn't have any other critical VM's on one of the host I made possi=
bly the second mistake: downloaded the oVirt node ISO and reinstalled from =
scratch. First it wouldn't register due to a UUID collision (crappy motherb=
oard manufacturers) but I was able to make it report a valid UUID and worke=
d around that.
When I try to Approve the node=2C it goes through most of the steps but fai=

I downgraded the node from 3.1.0-0.999.5.vdsm.fc19 to 3.0.0-5.1.6.vdsm.fc19=
but ran into the same error.
I noticed the Python scripts being run during the deployment come from ovir=
t-host-deploy.tar=2C but I don't know where that comes from. I renamed it a=
nd it was recreated.
I checked the Python packages and the node does have pygobject2 v2.28.6 ins=
talled. Import gobject from Phyton doesn't report any errors and I even tri=
ed to run a modified persist.py on the node and it works just fine=2C impor=
ts the functions and persists a file I gave it as a parameter.
At this point=2C I'm lost=3B the only thing I can think of would be to rein=
stall Fedora (FC19?) on the bad node and to try to re-add the node - but I =
have a guess I'll see the exact the same error. Or maybe enable the nightly=
repo?...
Thank you.
PS. I set up a temporary mail gateway so I don't lose incoming mail but it'=
s getting a lot of spam=2C plus I don't have IMAP access to emails as that =
server was doing amavisd spam filtering and IMAP besides Postfix. A way to =
start the VM manually on the "good" host would definitely be a workable tem=
porary solution.
