OVF update failure? Export domain.
by Jacob Green
So, I found this bug report Bug 1554116
<https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1554116#c1>, and it looks
like it was squashed(fixed) in ovirt 4.2.2. I am running 4.2.6 and
yesterday when I was placing our export domain in maintenance and
detaching, I saw this message about ignoring OVF update failure. I was
able to Detach and Reattach the export Domain without any problems. But
I wanted to know if this is normal or not? I did not check the box on
either occasion.
Thank you

ovirt-host-upgrade failed on centos 7.5 host with new ansible 2.7.1+ and its default yum: dnf backend
by Oliver Riesener
Hi,
i found an permanent updates avail on centos 7.5 host with ovirt
4.2.7.5-1-el7 and ansible 2.7.1+.
Background: ansible 2.7.1+ "auto use" the yum: backend.
The new avail backend and auto selected backend "yum 4" uses "dnf" and
didn't
recognize the attribute "update_cache: yes" in yum: ansible task.
#### Solution:
* switch backend to old yum style.
# diff

/usr/share/ovirt-engine/playbooks/roles/ovirt-host-upgrade/tasks/main.yml

> use_backend: yum
* on ovirt node the file and the problem didn't exists.
best regards.

About Windows guest agent
by jingjie.jiang＠oracle.com
Hi,
I am new in oVirt and I'd like to get the clarification about the packages which support the function of Window guest agent from 4.2 release and how to build it.
I looked through the document from ovirt.org, such as
https://www.ovirt.org/documentation/internal/guest-agent/guest-agent-for-...
It mentioned:
"With the release of oVirt 3.5 we have introduced the oVirt WGT (Windows Guest Tools).
The oVirt WGT provides an ISO with all the tools and drivers one needs to install on a Windows VM, with an easy to use installer to install it all in one step.
So manual compilation and installation of oVirt Guest Agent is no longer necessary.
The oVirt WGT ISO is included in ovirt-guest-tools-iso-3.5-7.noarch.rpm package."
Now, ovirt-guest-tools-iso is up to 4.2.4. I found the src rpm from https://resources.ovirt.org/pub/ovirt-4.2/rpm/el7/SRPMS/ovirt-guest-tools..., but I could not find ovirt-guest-tools-iso from github, only found ovirt-wgt.
After clone the ovirt-wgt, I got the SPICE-tools-0.141.iso built.
My question is :
1. Is ovirt-wgt used for Windows guest?
2. If so, how can I build ovirt-guest-tools-iso package or ovirt-tools-setup.iso
Thanks,
Jingjie

Call for translators: Russian and Czech
by Sandro Bonazzola
Hi,
one of the beta release criteria is that supported languages have
translations at least at 70% of completion. According to zanata[1] we
currently have
Chinese (Simplified, China) (zh-Hans-CN): 95.1%
Czech (cs): 33.97%
French (fr) 95.1%
German (de) 95.1%
Italian (it) 85.84%
Japanese (ja): 95.1%
Korean (ko) 95.1%
Portuguese (Brazil) (pt-BR): 95.1%
Russian (ru): 25.17%
Spanish (es): 95.1%
So, right now Czech and Russian are not meeting release criteria for beta
release and are candidate to be disabled in 4.3 unless translators pushes
the missing parts.

[ovrit-users] Anyone with Fiber Channel oVirt Storage Experience?
by Jacob Green
I just have a few simple questions, have you migrated a fiber
channel storage domain from one ovirt environment to another? And how
did it go, did it just work aside from having to import all the vms and
configure their settings was it any more difficult than that?
We want to migrate our fiber channel storage with VM's intact from an
oVirt 4.1 environment to a brand new oVirt 4.2 environment.
We are using fiber channel via An HP MSA. I do not for see any issues,
but since we have never done it before, and we do not have spare Fiber
Channel storage to test with, we are just unsure of what the behavior
should be. So just wanted to get some opinions or basic guidance, is
there anything we should watch out for and does it "just work".

External VMs automatically deleted when powered down
by andyg1001＠hotmail.co.uk
Hi,
I have a pressing problem with oVirt, which is sadly languishing as a bug report (#1610917), so I thought I would also raise it here in case anyone else has experience of this and can suggest a workaround or, better yet, a solution to my problem :o)
Simply put, the problem is this. I have oVirt 4.2.7 installed on a Cent-OS 7.5 server. It is also necessary, due to various factors, to run what oVirt terms "external VMs" on this server, i.e. ones not managed by oVirt but managed separately, e.g. via virt-manager or virsh. The problem is that once these VMs are shut down (e.g. within the VM or by a command from virt-manager), they are automatically deleted by oVirt some 15 seconds later. The bug report noted above has more details, but these VMs are not created as temporary VMs, and when running the older oVirt 4.1.x or 3.8.x versions, this didn't happen. Looking through the oVirt and libvirt logs, it is really clear that oVirt is responsible for deleting these VMs, so I can rule out any other nefarious agent!
Does anyone know of a way of preventing oVirt from deleting external VMs, like a special config option or something? Or does anyone know how to mark a VM as "protected from deletion"? I know oVirt VMs have an option for "delete protection", but oVirt gives the error "Cannot edit VM. This VM is not managed by the engine." if you try to enable it on an external VM.
Many thanks,
Andy
