Template for Ubuntu 18.04 Server Issues
by jeremy_tourville＠hotmail.com
I have built a system as a template on oVirt. Specifically, Ubuntu 18.04 server.
I am noticing an issue when creating new vms from that template. I used the check box for "seal template" when creating the template.
When I create a new Ubuntu VM I am getting duplicate IP addresses for all the machines created from the template.
It seems like the checkbox doesn't fully function as intended. I would need to do further manual steps to clear up this issue.
Has anyone else noticed this behavior? Is this expected or have I missed something?
Thanks for your input!

Libgfapi considerations
by Jayme
Are there currently any known issues with using libgfapi in the latest
stable version of ovirt in hci deployments? I have recently enabled it and
have noticed a significant (over 4x) increase in io performance on my vms.
I’m concerned however since it does not seem to be an ovirt default
setting. Is libgfapi considered safe and stable to use in ovirt 4.3 hci?

It looks like engine sent:
parent_checkpoint_id: None
This issue was fix in engine few weeks ago.
Which engine and vdsm versions are you testing?

This is likely a result of the first error. If starting backup failed the

is deleted.

Hello, is there a way to poweroff or reboot (without stopped and running
state) a vm with the ovirt_vm ansible module?

supervdsm failing during network_caps
by Alan G
Hi,
I have issues with one host where supervdsm is failing in network_caps.
I see the following trace in the log.
MainProcess|jsonrpc/1::ERROR::2020-01-06 03:01:05,558::supervdsm_server::100::SuperVdsm.ServerCallback::(wrapper) Error in network_caps

A restart of supervdsm will resolve the issue for a period, maybe 24 hours, then it will occur again. So I'm thinking it's resource exhaustion or a leak of some kind?
Running 4.2.8.2 with VDSM at 4.20.46.
I've had a look through the bugzilla and can't find an exact match, closest was this one https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1666123 which seems to be a RHV only fix.
Thanks,
Alan

OVN and change of mgmt network
by Gianluca Cecchi
Hello,
I previously had OVN running on engine (as OVN provider with northd and
northbound and southbound DBs) and hosts (with OVN controller).
After changing mgmt ip of hosts (engine has retained instead the same ip),
I executed again on them the command:
vdsm-tool ovn-config <ip_of_engine> <nel_local_ip_of_host>
Now I think I have to clean up some things, eg:
1) On engine
where I get these lines below
systemctl status ovn-northd.service -l
. . .
Sep 29 14:41:42 ovmgr1 ovsdb-server[940]: ovs|00005|reconnect|ERR|tcp:
10.4.167.40:37272: no response to inactivity probe after 5 seconds,
disconnecting
Oct 03 11:52:00 ovmgr1 ovsdb-server[940]: ovs|00006|reconnect|ERR|tcp:
10.4.167.41:52078: no response to inactivity probe after 5 seconds,
disconnecting
The two IPs are the old ones of two hosts
It seems that a restart of the services has fixed...
Can anyone confirm if I have to do anything else?
2) On hosts (there are 3 hosts with OVN on ip 10.4.192.32/33/34)
where I currently have this output
[root@ov301 ~]# ovs-vsctl show
3a38c5bb-0abf-493d-a2e6-345af8aedfe3
Bridge br-int
fail_mode: secure
Port "ovn-1dce5b-0"
Interface "ovn-1dce5b-0"
type: geneve
options: {csum="true", key=flow, remote_ip="10.4.192.32"}
Port "ovn-ddecf0-0"
Interface "ovn-ddecf0-0"
type: geneve
options: {csum="true", key=flow, remote_ip="10.4.192.33"}
Port "ovn-fd413b-0"

Port br-int
Interface br-int
type: internal
ovs_version: "2.7.2"
[root@ov301 ~]#
The IPs of kind 10.4.192.x are ok.
But there is a left-over of an old host I initially used for tests,
corresponding to 10.4.168.74, that now doesn't exist anymore
How can I clean records for 1) and 2)?
Thanks,
Gianluca

CentOS Stream support
by Michal Skrivanek
Hi all,
we would like to ask about interest in community about oVirt moving to CentOS Stream.
There were some requests before but it’s hard to see how many people would really like to see that.
With CentOS releases lagging behind RHEL for months it’s interesting to consider moving to CentOS Stream as it is much more up to date and allows us to fix bugs faster, with less workarounds and overhead for maintaining old code. E.g. our current integration tests do not really pass on CentOS 8.1 and we can’t really do much about that other than wait for more up to date packages. It would also bring us closer to make oVirt run smoothly on RHEL as that is also much closer to Stream than it is to outdated CentOS.
So..would you like us to support CentOS Stream?
We don’t really have capacity to run 3 different platforms, would you still want oVirt to support CentOS Stream if it means “less support” for regular CentOS?
There are some concerns about Stream being a bit less stable, do you share those concerns?
Thank you for your comments,
michal

encrypted GENEVE traffic
by Pavel Nakonechnyi
Dear oVirt Community,
From my understanding oVirt does not support Open vSwitch IPSEC tunneling for GENEVE traffic (which is described on pages http://docs.openvswitch.org/en/latest/howto/ipsec/ and http://docs.openvswitch.org/en/latest/tutorials/ipsec/).
Are there plans to introduce such support? (or explicitly not to..)
Is it possible to somehow manually configure such tunneling for existing virtual networks? (even in a limited way)
Alternatively, is it possible to deploy oVirt on top of the tunneled (i.e. via VXLAN, IPSec) interfaces? This will allow to encrypt all management traffic.
Such requirement arises when using oVirt deployment on third-party premises with untrusted network.
Thank in advance for any clarifications. :)

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
