This is a possible solution we considered, but it is not implemented yet. The next line is: Since creating special paused VM for backing up non-running VM is a lot of work, we may defer support for backing up non-running VMs. We got a request to implement this from other backup vendor, and we are discussing the possible solutions with platform folks.

Is it possible to backup stopped vm? (ovirt 4.4)

Hello, While trying to backup stopped VM (with POST on /ovirt-engine/api/vms/b79b34c0-d8db-43e5-916e-5528ff7bcfbe/backups) I got the response: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?> <fault> <detail>[Cannot backup VM. The Virtual Machine should be in Up status.]</detail> <reason>Operation Failed</reason> </fault> I found here: https://www.ovirt.org/develop/release-management/features/storage/increment… that it should be possible to back up a virtual machine that is not running. "If the VM is not running, the system will create a paused, stripped-down version of the VM, with only backup disks attached, and use libvirt API to start and stop the backup." But it doesn't seem to work.

Upgrade Host Compatibility Version
by jb 05 Oct '20

05 Oct '20

Hello everybody, for some days I upgrade our environment from ovirt 4.3 to 4.4.2 and now I stuck on upgrading the host compatibility version. It show there a compatibility until version 4.4. The VMs have a limit until version 4.5 and the cluster shows to that I can upgrade them until 4.5. On the cluster page is also a Upgrade guide, but this fails when I try that one. At the moment I have only one host to upgrade (no hosted engine)... Thanks for helping! Jonathan

oVirt 4.3.10 and ansible default timeouts
by Gianluca Cecchi 05 Oct '20

05 Oct '20

Hello, in the past when I was in 4.3.7 I used this file: /etc/ovirt-engine/engine.conf.d/99-ansible-playbook-timeout.conf with ANSIBLE_PLAYBOOK_EXEC_DEFAULT_TIMEOUT=80 to bypass the default of 30 minutes at that time. I updated in steps to 4.3.8 (in February), 4.3.9 (in April) and 4.3.10 (in July). Due to an error on my side I noticed that the task for which I extended the ansible timeout (this task I didn't execute anymore in latest months) fails with timeout after 80 minutes indeed. With the intent to extend again the custom timeout I went to /usr/share/ovirt-engine/services/ovirt-engine/ovirt-engine.conf, provided by ovirt-engine-backend-4.3.10.4-1.el7.noarch and actually I see this inside: " # Specify the ansible-playbook command execution timeout in minutes. It's used for any task, which executes # AnsibleExecutor class. To change the value permanentaly create a conf file 99-ansible-playbook-timeout.conf in # /etc/ovirt-engine/engine.conf.d/ ANSIBLE_PLAYBOOK_EXEC_DEFAULT_TIMEOUT=120 " and the file seems the original provided, not tampered: [root@ovmgr1 test_backup]# rpm -qvV ovirt-engine-backend-4.3.10.4-1.el7.noarch | grep virt-engine.conf$ ......... /usr/share/ovirt-engine/services/ovirt-engine/ovirt-engine.conf [root@ovmgr1 test_backup]# So the question is: has the default intended value passed to 120 in 4.3.10 (or in any version after 4.3.7)? Thanks, Gianluca

CEPH - Opinions and ROI
by Jeremey Wise 04 Oct '20

04 Oct '20

I have for many years used gluster because..well. 3 nodes.. and so long as I can pull a drive out.. I can get my data.. and with three copies.. I have much higher chance of getting it. Downsides to gluster: Slower (its my home..meh... and I have SSD to avoid MTBF issues ) and with VDO.. and thin provisioning.. not had issue. BUT.... gluster seems to be falling out of favor. Especially as I move towards OCP. So.. CEPH. I have one SSD in each of the three servers. so I have some space to play. I googled around.. and find no clean deployment notes and guides on CEPH + oVirt. Comments or ideas.. -- p <jeremey.wise(a)gmail.com>enguinpages.

Is it possible to change scheduler optimization settings of cluster using ansible or some other automation way
by Kushagra Agarwal 03 Oct '20

03 Oct '20

I was hoping if i can get some help with the below oVirt scenario: *Problem Statement*:- Is it possible to change scheduler optimization settings of cluster using ansible or some other automation way *Description*:- Do we have any ansible module or any other CLI based approach which can help us to change 'scheduler optimization' settings of cluster in oVIrt. Scheduler optimization settings of cluster can be found under Scheduling Policy tab ( Compute -> Clusters(select the cluster) -> click on edit and then navigate to scheduling policy Any help in this will be highly appreciated. Thanks, Kushagra
