Gluster permissions HCI
by Strahil Nikolov
Hello All,
can someone assist me with some issue.
Could you check the ownership of some folders for me ?
1. ls -l /rhev/data-center/mnt/glusterSD
2. ls -l /rhev/data-center/mnt/glusterSD/<gluster_node>_<engine volume>
3. ls -l /rhev/data-center/mnt/glusterSD/<gluster_node>_<engine volume>/<volume uuid>/images
4. ls -l /rhev/data-center/mnt/glusterSD/<gluster_node>_<any data domain>
5. ls -l /rhev/data-center/mnt/glusterSD/<gluster_node>_<any data domain>/<volume uuid>/images
Also mention your gluster version.
Thanks in advance.
Best Regards,
Strahil Nikolov

how to use idrac interface as a vm network
by Nathanaël Blanchet
Hello,
I noticed an idrac interface was available in the host network since an
undefined ovirt version.
Mine are already plugged as dedicated vlan to administrate host at the
lowest level.
I tested to use it as a vm network on the same vlan, but it doesn't work.
What am I supposed to do with this available interface?
PS: on HP hosts, no Ilo interface appears in host network tab

Re: Windows VirtIO drivers

That may be true, but in the ISO domain, when you open virt viewer you can
change the cd very easily...maybe it works that way as well..

Don't think you have to use the ISO Domain any longer.
You can upload to a Data Domain and when you highlight the VM in the
management GUI, select the three dots in the top left for extra options and
there is a change cd option. That option will allow for attaching an ISO
from a Data Domain.
That is what I recall when I was using oVirt a month or so ago.

You have to copy the iso and vfd files to the ISO domain to make them
available to the vm's that need drivers.

Hi,
it seems the online documentation regarding the windows installation steps
is well out of date. Where is there any current documentation on where to
get the VirtIO drivers for a Windows installation?
From a bit of Googling, it seems that I need to 'yum install virtio-win' on
the engine VM and then copy the relevant .iso/.vfd to the ISO domain. Is
that correct?
Where is the documentation maintained and how do I open a bug on it?
Thanks, Shareef.

Hat Enterprise Linux 8.2 beta. If you want to have a better experience you
can test oVirt 4.4.0 Alpha on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.2 beta.
Known Issues
-
After installation open the Default cluster and hit “Save”, for any
other new Cluster using CPU autodetection the dialog needs to be explicitly
saved after the detection happens, after first host is added. (bug
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/1770697)

- dnf update (reboot if needed)
- dnf module enable -y javapackages-tools pki-deps 389-ds
- dnf install ovirt-engine
- engine-setup
For the nodes:
Either use oVirt Node ISO or:
- Install CentOS Linux 8 from
http://centos.mirror.garr.it/centos/8.1.1911/isos/x86_64/CentOS-8.1.1911-...
; select minimal installation
- dnf config-manager --set-enabled PowerTools

Hypervisors based on CentOS Linux 8 (rebuilt from award winning RHEL8),
for both oVirt Node and standalone CentOS Linux hosts
-
Easier network management and configuration flexibility with
NetworkManager
-
VMs based on a more modern Q35 chipset with legacy seabios and UEFI
firmware
-
Support for direct passthrough of local host disks to VMs
-
Live migration improvements for High Performance guests.

New Windows Guest tools installer based on WiX framework now moved to
VirtioWin project
-
Dropped support for cluster level prior to 4.2
-
Dropped SDK3 support
-
4K disks support
-
Exporting a VM to a data domain
-
Editing of floating disks
-
Integrating ansible-runner into engine, which allows a more detailed
monitoring of playbooks executed from engine
-
Adding/reinstalling hosts are now completely based on Ansible
-
The OpenStack Neutron Agent cannot be configured by oVirt anymore, it
should be configured by TripleO instead
This release is available now on x86_64 architecture for:
* Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.1 or newer
* CentOS Linux (or similar) 8.1 or newer
This release supports Hypervisor Hosts on x86_64 and ppc64le architectures

See the release notes [1] for installation instructions and a list of new
features and bugs fixed.
If you manage more than one oVirt instance, OKD or RDO we also recommend to
try ManageIQ <http://manageiq.org/>.
In such a case, please be sure to take the qc2 image and not the ova image.
Notes:
- oVirt Appliance is already available for CentOS Linux 8

Migrate Hosted Engine to new Storage
by Anton Louw
Hi Everybody,
Does anybody know when we will most likely be able to do a live storage migration of the Hosted Engine? I've been battling with the backup and restore way for a couple of days now already, and it is starting to feel like a fruitless exercise.
Thanks

does SPM still exist?
by yam yam
Hello,
I heard some say SPM disappeared since 3.6.
nevertheless, SPM still exists in oVirt admin portal or even in RHV's manual.
So, I am wondering whether SPM still exists now.
And could I know how to get more detailed information for oVirt internals??
is the code review the best way?
