EPYC CPU not being detected correctly on cluster
by Vinícius Ferrão 19 Nov '20

19 Nov '20

Hi I've an strange issue with two hosts (not using the hypervisor image) with EPYC CPUs, on the engine I got this message: The host CPU does not match the Cluster CPU Type and is running in a degraded mode. It is missing the following CPU flags: model_EPYC. Please update the host CPU microcode or change the Cluster CPU Type. But it is an EPYC CPU, the firmware is updated to the latest versions, but for some reason oVirt does not like it. Here's the relevant output from VDSM: "cpuCores": "128", "cpuFlags": "ibs,vme,abm,sep,ssse3,perfctr_core,sse4_2,skip-l1dfl-vmentry,cx16,pae,misalignsse,avx2,smap,movbe,vgif,rdctl-no,extapic,clflushopt,de,sse4_1,xsaveerptr,perfctr_llc,fma,mca,sse,rdtscp,monitor,umip,mwaitx,cr8_legacy,mtrr,stibp,bmi2,pclmulqdq,amd-ssbd,lbrv,pdpe1gb,constant_tsc,vmmcall,f16c,ibrs,fsgsbase,invtsc,nopl,lm,3dnowprefetch,smca,ht,tsc_adjust,popcnt,cpb,bmi1,mmx,arat,aperfmperf,bpext,cqm_occup_llc,virt-ssbd,tce,pse,xsave,xgetbv1,topoext,sha_ni,amd_ppin,rdrand,cpuid,tsc_scale,extd_apicid,cqm,rep_good,tsc,sse4a,flushbyasid,pschange-mc-no,mds-no,ibpb,smep,clflush,tsc-deadline,fxsr,pat,avx,pfthreshold,v_vmsave_vmload,osvw,xsavec,cdp_l3,clzero,svm_lock,nonstop_tsc,adx,hw_pstate,spec-ctrl,arch-capabilities,xsaveopt,skinit,rdt_a,svm,rdpid,lahf_lm,fpu,rdseed,fxsr_opt,sse2,nrip_save,vmcb_clean,sme,cat_l3,cqm_mbm_local,irperf,overflow_recov,avic,mce,mmxext,msr,cx8,hypervisor,wdt,mba,nx,decodeassists,cmp_legacy,x2apic,perfctr_nb,succor,pni,xsaves,clwb,cqm_llc,syscall,apic,pge,npt,pse36,cmov,ssbd,pausefilter,sev,aes,wbnoinvd,cqm_mbm_total,spec_ctrl,model_qemu32,model_Opteron_G3,model_Nehalem-IBRS,model_qemu64,model_Conroe,model_kvm64,model_Penryn,model_SandyBridge,model_pentium,model_pentium2,model_kvm32,model_Nehalem,model_Opteron_G2,model_pentium3,model_Opteron_G1,model_SandyBridge-IBRS,model_486,model_Westmere-IBRS,model_Westmere", "cpuModel": "AMD EPYC 7H12 64-Core Processor", "cpuSockets": "2", "cpuSpeed": "3293.405", "cpuThreads": "256", Any ideia on why ou what to do to fix it?

[ANN] oVirt 4.4.4 Second Release Candidate is now available for testing
by Lev Veyde 19 Nov '20

19 Nov '20

oVirt 4.4.4 Second Release Candidate is now available for testing The oVirt Project is pleased to announce the availability of oVirt 4.4.4 Second Release Candidate for testing, as of November 19th, 2020. This update is the fourth in a series of stabilization updates to the 4.4 series. How to prevent hosts entering emergency mode after upgrade from oVirt 4.4.1 Note: Upgrading from 4.4.2 GA or later should not require re-doing these steps, if already performed while upgrading from 4.4.1 to 4.4.2 GA. These are only required to be done once. Due to Bug 1837864 <https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1837864> - Host enter emergency mode after upgrading to latest build If you have your root file system on a multipath device on your hosts you should be aware that after upgrading from 4.4.1 to 4.4.4 you may get your host entering emergency mode. In order to prevent this be sure to upgrade oVirt Engine first, then on your hosts: 1. Remove the current lvm filter while still on 4.4.1, or in emergency mode (if rebooted). 2. Reboot. 3. Upgrade to 4.4.4 (redeploy in case of already being on 4.4.4). 4. Run vdsm-tool config-lvm-filter to confirm there is a new filter in place. 5. Only if not using oVirt Node: - run "dracut --force --add multipath” to rebuild initramfs with the correct filter configuration 6. Reboot. Documentation - If you want to try oVirt as quickly as possible, follow the instructions on the Download <https://ovirt.org/download/> page. - For complete installation, administration, and usage instructions, see the oVirt Documentation <https://ovirt.org/documentation/>. - For upgrading from a previous version, see the oVirt Upgrade Guide <https://ovirt.org/documentation/upgrade_guide/>. - For a general overview of oVirt, see About oVirt <https://ovirt.org/community/about.html>. Important notes before you try it Please note this is a pre-release build. The oVirt Project makes no guarantees as to its suitability or usefulness. This pre-release must not be used in production. Installation instructions For installation instructions and additional information please refer to: https://ovirt.org/documentation/ This release is available now on x86_64 architecture for: * Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.2 or newer * CentOS Linux (or similar) 8.2 or newer This release supports Hypervisor Hosts on x86_64 and ppc64le architectures for: * Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.2 or newer * CentOS Linux (or similar) 8.2 or newer * oVirt Node 4.4 based on CentOS Linux 8.2 (available for x86_64 only) See the release notes [1] for installation instructions and a list of new features and bugs fixed.

Self Hosted Engine a single Bare Metal Server
by LS CHENG 19 Nov '20

19 Nov '20

Hi We are planning to set up a single ovirt node for testing. It is a single Bare Metal Server. I wonder if there is any problem setting up a Self Hosted Engine in this Bare Metal (there is no HA but we don't need it in this case)? I know it is probably not the best practice but it is for training and testing purposes. Thank you

Fix corrupt self-hosted engine
by Alex K 19 Nov '20

19 Nov '20

Hi all, I have a corrupt self-hosted engine (with several file system errors, postgres not able to start) and thus it does not give access to the web UI. This happened following an unlucky split brain resolution (I am running 2 nodes). The two hosts are running VMs also which I would like to keep running as they are needed. When trying to boot into rescue mode (using systemd.unit=emergency.target boot parameter) I get a cursor and nothing else. I have backups of engine files with scope all (using the engine-backup tool). What is the best approach to try and fix the engine or redeploy. Thanks for any help. Alex

I logged onto oVirt this morning, and I see the node is in a “Unassigned” state. I can ping it, but cannot SSH, so there is something that is causing the host to be unresponsive. On Saturday after I sent the mail, I opened a console to the node, and I saw the below entries before logging in: audit:backlog limit exceeded I the tried the solution of increasing the buffer size in the audit.rules file in /etc/audit/rules.d/ , as per below, but it did not resolve the issue. ## First rule - delete all -D ## Increase the buffers to survive stress events. ## Make this bigger for busy systems -b 8192 ## Set failure mode to syslog -f 1 Is it possible to upgrade the node to 4.4 while the engine is still on 4.3?

Migration VM
by tiziano.pacioni＠par-tec.it 18 Nov '20

18 Nov '20

Hi, I installed a new server, using the ovirt iso, with the target of migrating the VMs coming from another cluster, contained on another ovirt node. I tried to migrate a vm using the Export Domain, once imported on the new node, i see the vm from web dashboard but, from command line “virsh list --all” is absent, the imported vm does not appear in the list. Also if I try to start it, I get the following error: VM X is down with error. Exit message: unsupported configuration: bus must be 0 for ide controller. Can you help me?
