Re: oVirt/RHV 4.3.6: How to boot a Q35/UEFI VM from CD?
by Strahil
I have successfully managed to boot and install RHEL & openSUSE with Secureboot, but UEFI variables are not saved and requires some workarounds (there is a bug opened for that) to work.
What exactly is your problem?

Re: Trying to add a LUN to a host and use that, instead of Gluster, as the datastore for my VM's.
by Strahil
I'm not sure, but you can try with replica 1 gluster volume.
Later that gluster volume can be changed to replica 2 arbiter 1 or even better replica 3 volume.

Re: oVirt 4.3.5/6 HC: Reinstall fails from WEB UI
by Strahil
Ssh to host and check the status of :
sanlock.service
supervdsmd.service
vdsmd.service
ovirt-ha-broker.service
ovirt-ha-agent.service
For example if sanlock is working, but supervdsmd is not - try to restart it.
If it fais, run:
systemctl cat supervdsmd.service
And execute the commands in sections:
ExecStartPre
ExecStart
And report any issues, then follow the next service in the chain.

Hi everyone,
I'll be restarting several production systems today to apply security
updates.
The following services may be unreachable for short periods of time:

oVirt/RHV 4.3.6: How to boot a Q35/UEFI VM from CD?
by mathieu.simon＠gymneufeld.ch
Hi
I've been experimenting with UEFI on RHV 4.3.6 using Windows Server 2019 but I guess posting on the oVirt list might reach a wider audience.
I've used UEFI guests on other KVM-based virtualizations, but I have been unable to detect a UEFI-bootable CD using Q35 VMs with or without SecureBoot in RHV 4.3.6 since it doesn't even propose to load the UEFI loader from within OVMF. It seems to show the CD-ROM drive, but I cannot boot from file the disc from OVMF:
Are there any hints? (I've tried finding something more detailed in the Docs though) I'd like investigate UEFI and SecureBoot on oVirt/RHV even if it's still considered a tech preview. (I've been using KVM-based UEFI VM for years already on other platforms and distributions with no particular issues, rather advantages overall).

What to do with old ovirt yum repos, and why are they kept around?
by Derek Atkins
Hi,
I just upgraded my engine from 4.1.9 to 4.2.8 to 4.3.x yesterday. One
issue I hit along the way was a complaint about repos being listed more
than once:
Repository virtio-win-stable is listed more than once in the configuration
Repository centos-sclo-rh-release is listed more than once in the configuration
I also received errors like:
http://mirror.centos.org/centos/7/storage/x86_64/gluster-3.8/repodata/rep...: [Errno 14] HTTP Error 404 - Not Found
Trying other mirror.
Even after I did a yum erase on ovirt-release40 (and ovirt-release41) I
noticed that the 4.0 and 4.1 yum repositories (and dependencies)
configurations were left in /etc/yum.repos.d/. Is there a reason these
files are not removed when the associated release packages are removed?
Thanks,
-derek
