Changing DNS servers
by Chris Adams
I am trying to change the DNS servers on the hosts on a 4.1 cluster. It
appears that oVirt has "learned" them somewhere. They are in
/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ovirtmgmt (and of course
/etc/resolv.conf), but that file gets rewritten on a reboot (so if I
change it they just change back). I can't find anything in the web UI
to set/change DNS, but obviously they're stored somewhere.
I see /var/lib/vdsm/persistence/netconf.<number>/nets/ovirtmgmt has
the config; is it safe to directly edit that file?

host NonResponsive after trying to update network MTUs
by Edward Berger
I have a problem host which also is the one I deployed a hyperconverged
oVirt node-ng cluster from with the cockpit's hyperconverged installation
wizard.
When I realized after deploying that I hadn't set the MTUs correctly for
the engine-mgmt, associated vlan and eno.2 device and also for my
infiniband interface ib0, I went in and tried to set them to new values
9000 and 65520 it got into some kind of hung state.
The engine task window shows a task in "executing" and a never ending
spinning widget
"Handing non responsive Host track00..."
I can tried updating the hosts /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts by hand.
I've tried every combination of the engines set host in maintenance mode ,
"sync networks" "refresh host capabilities" activating and rebooting, but
I'm still stuck with an unresponsive host.
I had another host that also failed but it allowed me to put it into
maintenance mode and then remove it from the cluster and "add new" it back
and it was happy.
This one won't let me remove it because its serving the gluster volume
mount point, even though I did give the mount options for the 2nd and 3rd
backup volume servers.
I'd appreciate any help restoring it to proper working order.
I'm attaching the gzip'd engine log.

ovirt-sdk_external network add
by ada per
Hello everyone,
I have the following script,
i ve been looking in ovirt-sdk but i cannot seem to find the proper way of adding an external provider network under ovirt-ovn
I manage to add logical networks and vlans but no luck in external provider.
Any advice is appreciated
network = networks_service.add(
network=types.Network(
name='ext_net',
description='Testing network',
data_center=types.DataCenter(
name='Default'
),
usages=[types.NetworkUsage.VM],
external_provider='ovirt-provider-ovn', -->i know this part is wrong what is it supposed to be called?

Changing CPU type in oVirt Cluster 4.2
by Juhani Rautiainen
Hi!
I made two node oVirt cluster with self hosted engine. It's running top of
oVirt Node 4.2. Hardware is built on AMD Epyc processors. I just noticed
that "Clusters"-view warns that I have AMD Opteron G3 as CPU type and it
will not supported in the future. Didn't check this during installation so
it probably came automatically. But question is how can I change this? I
get warning 'Error while executing action: Cannot change Cluster CPU to
higher CPU type when there are active Hosts with lower CPU type.'. I saw
old thread from 2016 where it was suggested that you change value straight
to db. Put that seems bit dangerous. Is there any other way to solve this
problem?
Thanks,
Juhani

VDO volume - storage domain size
by Leo David
Hello Everyone,
I'm I trying to benefit of vdo capabilities, but it seems that I don;t
have too much luck with this.
I have both created a vdo based gluster volume usign both following methods:
- at hyperconverged wizard cluster setup by enabling compression per device
- after installation, by creating a new gluster volume and enabling
compression
In both cases, I end up with a real device size gluster volume/storage
domain, although the vdo's appear in node's cockpit UI as being 10 times
then physical device.
ie: 3 nodes, each having 1 x 900GB ssd device, turns into 9t device vdo
device per host, but the storage domain (gluster replica 3 ) ends up as
being 900GB .
Am I missing something , or maybe doing something wrong?
Thank you very much !
Leo
