Storage domain format version info
by Gianluca Cecchi
Hello,
part of updating a DC from 4.2 to 4.3 consists in updating format of data
storage domains from V4 to V5.
Questions:
- where can I find list of differences between V4 and V5? And in general
between previous ones?
- can I force only a particular storage domain to remain in V4 while having
the other ones upgraded to V5, for any reason? Or the reverse: update only
one of the defined domains?
Eg on oVirt web site I only found this for V4
https://www.ovirt.org/develop/release-management/features/storage/storage...
with mention about Qcow2 v3 (link broken.. one ot the upstream pages for it
here:
https://wiki.qemu.org/Features/Qcow3 ) that should give near raw
performance with advantages of qcow2 format...
Thanks,
Gianluca

Ovirt Secure boot issues
by Strahil
Hello All,
I would like to ask any of you to do a simple test.
Please install a linux on a VM with Secure boot and after the install wizzard is over -power it off and then on.
Here is what I have observed:
1. UEFI forgets the certificates after a poweroff and asks for the openSUSE certificate every time. Rebooting from the VM doesn't cause any problems till nextg boot.
2. RHEL8 grub menu consists only of 'System setup'.
When you select it - you are sent to the UEFI menu. If you select continue - everything is fine.
Poweroff + Poweron makes everything to repeat.
Do you observe the same issues. If I'm not the only one hitting this - I will open a bug, otherwise I will try to further debug this.
Best Regards,
Strahil Nikolov

VM lost conection.
by Julio Cesar Bustamante
Hi there,
I have a problem, Last week I lost connectivity a VM with OS Windows server
2008 I access to check it and
in ovirtmanager that VM is power on and I could login it, but there was no
ping to other VM machines So I
restarted VM and I recovery connectivity. Today It shows the same scenario
with same VM.
I checked log from ovirtmananer and ovirt node from running VM but I didnt
find any error.
Where can I find out more ?
I have a Ovirtmanager 4 and a Ovirtnode 4.1

Re: HE deployment failing
by Strahil
Yes,
But I thought that cockpit should prevent creation of the gluster volume 'engine' as it is too small.
@Dev
Do we have such control ?

HE deployment failing
by Parth Dhanjal
Hey!
I'm trying to deploy a 3 node cluster with gluster storage.
After the gluster deployment is completed successfully, the creation of
storage domain fails during HE deployment giving the error:
[ ERROR ] fatal: [localhost]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "msg": "Error:
the target storage domain contains only 46.0GiB of available space while a
minimum of 61.0GiB is required If you wish to use the current target
storage domain by extending it, make sure it contains nothing before adding
it."}
I have tried to increase the disk size(provided in storage tab) to 90GiB.
But the deployment still fails. A 50GiB storage domain is created by
default even if some other size is provided.
Has anyone faced a similar issue?
Regards

Re: UI - cannot remove disk whiel system is running
by Strahil
Everything ended well - despite the warning 'do not shutdown' I powered off and powered on the VM.
This action allowed me to trigger a snapshot deletion (again) and it completed successfully.
Removing the disk of interest also completed successfully.
So, I got a happy ending.

Re: UI - cannot remove disk whiel system is running
by Strahil
I think I'm getting closer.
It seems the snapshot of the VM did not get deleted and that might be the problem.
Can someone give me a hint how to remove the snapshot as I get an error:
Cannot remove Snapshot. The following disks are in ILLEGAL status: uyuni-OS-Disk1 - please remove them and try again.
Yet, removal of the disk cannot happen as I got:
Cannot detach Virtual Disk. The disk is already configured in a snapshot. In order to detach it, remove the disk's snapshot.
This seems like 'Catch 22' .

UI - cannot remove disk whiel system is running
by Strahil
Hello All,
I have changed my system layout and the old disk is removed (echo 1 > /sys/block/sdX/device/delete) from OS, but UI complains when I try to remove with the following error:
Error while executing action: Cannot remove Virtual Disk. At least one of the VMs is not down.
Is it a limitation of oVirt ? If so, I will open an enhancement entry in bugzilla.
As far as I remember KVM allowed me to make such stuff without any issues so far.

VM snapshot - some info needed
by Strahil Nikolov
Hello Community,
I have noticed that if I want a VM snapshot with memory - I get a warning "The VM will be paused while saving the memory" .Is there a way to make snapshot without pausing the VM for the whole duration ?
I have noticed that it doesn't matter if VM has qemu-guest-agent or ovirt-guest-agent.
Thanks in advance for sharing your thoughts.
