oVirt 4.4: Self-hosted engine deployment fails with backup restore from 4.3 engine
by Oliver Leinfelder
Hi there,
I'm a bit puzzled about an possible upgrade paths from a 4.3 cluster to
version 4.4 in a self-hosted engine environment.
My idea was:
Set up a new host with a clean ovirt node 4.4 installation, then deploy the
hosted engine on this with a restored backup from the production cluster
and go from there.
This however fails with the following error:
2020-05-27 00:17:08,886+0200 DEBUG

Is this approach (restoring from 4.3) generally supposed to work? If not,
what is the appropriate upgrade path?
Thank you!

Another illegal disk snapshot problem!
by Joseph Goldman
Hi List,
oVirt 4.3
I know there have been threads about this before - but I am unable to
find the exact scenario I am facing.
I have a VM with 3 snapshots - Active, and 2 dated ones (technically
created by vProtect)
After trying to do a fresh snapshot in the GUI it failed out and
marked one of the old snapshot disks as 'illegal' - then the other tried
to follow suit.
I tried 'unlocking' the entity using the unlock_entity.sh tool but any
action reverts them back to illegal.
Following previous advice - I can see the VDSM status is all showing
LEGAL:
image: 23710238-07c2-46f3-96c0-9061fe1c3e0d
- *c3dadf14-bb4e-45a7-8bee-b9a01fe29ae1*
*status: OK, voltype: INTERNAL, format: RAW, legality: LEGAL, type:
SPARSE, capacity: 107374182400, truesize: 18402942976**
*
- *a6d4533b-b0b0-475d-a436-26ce99a38d94**
** status: OK, voltype: INTERNAL, format: COW, legality:
LEGAL, type: SPARSE, capacity: 107374182400, truesize: 21521768448*
- 4b6f7ca1-b70d-4893-b473-d8d30138bb6b
status: OK, voltype: LEAF, format: COW, legality: LEGAL,
type: SPARSE, capacity: 107374182400, truesize: 12617457664
The 2 bold entries are the 'illegal' snapshots.
Looking in the DB see's:
select
image_guid,parentid
,imagestatus
,vm_snapshot_id
,volume_type
,volume_format
,active
from images
where image_group_id='23710238-07c2-46f3-96c0-9061fe1c3e0d';
image_guid | parentid |
imagestatus | vm_snapshot_id | volume_type | volume_format |
active
--------------------------------------+--------------------------------------+-------------+--------------------------------------+-------------+---------------+--------
4b6f7ca1-b70d-4893-b473-d8d30138bb6b |
a6d4533b-b0b0-475d-a436-26ce99a38d94 | 1 |
d5044ae5-dc48-4700-9e46-d61e676c73fc | 2 | 4 | t
c3dadf14-bb4e-45a7-8bee-b9a01fe29ae1 |
00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000 | 4 |
57337968-28da-4b03-ac40-134a347d8c11 | 2 | 5 | f
a6d4533b-b0b0-475d-a436-26ce99a38d94 |

d2d82724-9fe7-452c-a114-f8d70b555520 | 2 | 4 | f
So from here previous advice has been to do things such as delete the
snapshot/disk etc but thats when they showed as illegal status. I also
notice the Active Image is not the same image that has a parentid of all
00000's so im not sure on the process of possibly deleting the other
snapshots and disks cleanly and/or safely.
Deleting or any tasks in the gui 100% fails and its at a point that if I
shut down the (critical) VM it will not come back on because of these
status'.
On top of this what is a good way to take a clean, manual backup of
current in use disk before I start playing with this in case worse comes
to worse I have to try build it as a new server (As at this point I
can't trust my vProtect backups)
Any help appreciated.
Thanks,
Joe

ovirt 4.3 - locked image vm - unable to remove a failed deploy of a guest dom
by 3c.monitor＠gruppofilippetti.it
Hi all.
I've deployed a VM from a corrupted template (it's disk is missing, but I've checked it later...).
My Software Version is:4.3
Now, I have an unmanaged VM in inventory and unable to remove it too.
It's reference is "locked image".
I've restarted ovirt-engine many times on self-hosted engine and hosts too, but no benefits.
So, what's now?
I've also consulted: https://access.redhat.com/solutions/396753
but still no results.
No tasks or items results to be "locked"...
Any other ideas?
Thanks a lot.

Re: difference between CPU server and client family
by Vinícius Ferrão
AFAIK Client is for the i3/i5/i7/i9 families and the other one is for Xeon platforms.
But you have pretty unusually Xeon, so it may be missing some flags that will properly classify the CPU.
You can run this on the host to check what’s detected:
[root]# vdsm-client Host getCapabilities

Turkey Standart Time
by ozmen62＠hotmail.com
Hi,
We've figured out there is no Turkish time zone on "Hardware Clock Time Offset" when we were trying sysprep
it causes some problems on GPO applyment, Outlook, Skype etc. connections in AD environment
Is there any cli options we can add this?
If you take this as an future request we'll appreciate

How to install win-virtio Drivers (aka guest tools) silently
by t.hofmann＠klett-it.net
Hi,
i am currently trying to automate an upgrade process from the "old" oVirt 4.3 Guest Tools new one which should using starting with oVirt 4.4
To achieve this I have to install the win-virtio tools quietly. This works even if I use the parameters /install /passive /norestart. But then the oVirt Guest Agent is not installed. Is there a parameter or another way to install it during a silent installation?
Thanks in advance.
