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.

Error creating host certificate with SubjectAltName with -ki-enroll-request.sh
by Derek Atkins
Hi,
I'm running a single-host, hosted-engine Ovirt deployment, version 4.3.10
(upgraded from 4.0->4.1->4.2) and it's complaining that my host cert does
not have a SubjectAltName.
If I try to use pki-enroll-request.sh to rebuild the host cert and follow
the instructions to add a --san, I get an error:
/usr/share/ovirt-engine/bin/pki-enroll-request.sh --name=host.na.me
--san=host.na.me
Using configuration from openssl.conf
Check that the request matches the signature
Signature ok
The Subject's Distinguished Name is as follows
organizationName :PRINTABLE:'My Org Name'
commonName :PRINTABLE:'host.na.me'
ERROR: adding extensions in section v3_ca_san
139875647600528:error:2207507C:X509 V3
routines:v2i_GENERAL_NAME_ex:missing value:v3_alt.c:531:

Am I using this script incorrectly?
Thanks,

We backup our oVirt VMs just like we backup physical hosts.
With that said, it's a backup system I wrote some 12 years ago.
We're in the process of moving from oVirt to VMware and our home grown backup
system has made moving very very easy. I've migrated several VMs across.
There's more than one way to skin a cat. Snapshots don't buy you much with
regards to integral integrity. They aren't (and never will be) application
logic aware (for example). And at the virtual disk level, it obviously becomes
even more of "black box".
(I'm mainly answering the question do "people not take backup of their VMs?")

difference between CPU server and client family
by jb
Hello,
is there a big difference between *Secure Intel Skylake Server Family*
CPUs and *Secure Intel Skylake Client Family* CPUs.
I ask because I use a Intel Xeon E-2246G in our servers and when I
install the cluster, the client cpu model was automatically selected.
I'm not sure now if it makes a different, when I change the cluster cpu
type to the server model and if this is possible with this cpu.
Best regards

what difference between enterprise Linux hosts and oVirt Nodes ?
by tommy
Enterprise Linux hosts (Enterprise Linux hosts) and oVirt Nodes (image-based
hypervisors) are the two supported types of host. Hosts use Kernel-based
Virtual Machine (KVM) technology and provide resources used to run virtual
machines.
But what difference between the Enterprise Linux Hosts and oVirt Nodes ?
Please give me some explain in details,thanks!

Why is the playbook trying to migrate HostedEngineLocal from reinstalled

How can we manage this issue and proceed with the upgrade ?
