update to 4.4 fails with "Domain format is different from master storage domain format" (v4.3 cluster with V4 NFS storage domains)
by Sergey Kulikov 01 Oct '20

01 Oct '20

Hello, I'm trying to update our hosted-engine ovirt to version 4.4 from 4.3.10 and everything goes fine until hosted-engine --deploy tries to add new hosted_storage domain, we have NFS storage domains, and it fails with error: [ INFO ] TASK [ovirt.hosted_engine_setup : Activate storage domain] [ ERROR ] ovirtsdk4.Error: Fault reason is "Operation Failed". Fault detail is "[Domain format is different from master storage domain format]". HTTP response code is 400. [ ERROR ] fatal: [localhost]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "msg": "Fault reason is \"Operation Failed\". Fault detail is \"[Domain format is different from master storage domain format]\". HTTP response code is 400."} It looks like storage domains in data center should have been upgraded to V5 when DC and cluster compatibility version was updated to 4.3, but looks like it was implemented in ovirt 4.3.3 and this setup was updated from 4.2 to 4.3 before 4.3.3 was released, so I ended up with 4.3 DCs and clusters with V4 storage domain format. Is there any way to convert V4 to V5 (there are running VMs on them) to be able upgrade to 4.4? --

Replica Question
by C Williams 01 Oct '20

01 Oct '20

Hello, We recently received 5 servers. All have about 3 TB of storage. I want to deploy an oVirt HCI using as much of my storage and compute resources as possible. Would oVirt support a "replica 5" HCI (Compute/Gluster) cluster ? I have deployed replica 3s and know about replica 2 + arbiter -- but an arbiter would not be applicable here -- since I have equal storage on all of the planned bricks. Thank You For Your Help !!

Is it possible to change scheduler optimization settings of cluster using ansible or some other automation way
by kushagra2agarwal＠gmail.com 30 Sep '20

30 Sep '20

Do we have any ansible module or any other CLI based approach which can help us to change 'scheduler optimization' settings of cluster in oVIrt. Scheduler optimization settings of cluster can be found under Scheduling Policy tab ( Compute -> Clusters(select the cluster) -> click on edit and than navigate to scheduling policu option) Scheduler Optimization Optimize for Utilization Optimize for Speed

VM without Host stuck in "Rebooting" State
by Raphael Höser 29 Sep '20

29 Sep '20

I have a VM which was send a "Reboot" and "Shutdown" command in short succession (two admins who were not thinking the same way) and now the VM is Stuck in "Rebooting". It has no Host assigned and when trying to turn it of (via Shutdown or Power Off) it gives this error: Sep 29, 2020, 10:27:10 AM Failed to power off VM <vm_name> (Host: <UNKNOWN>, User: admin@internal-authz). The engine logs don't provide more info either: 2020-09-29 10:42:18,628+02 INFO [org.ovirt.engine.core.bll.StopVmCommand] (EE-ManagedThreadFactory-engine-Thread-68681) [d4c6547e-c326-4907-8c34-36fd5ab81dfa] Running command: StopVmCommand internal: false.

oVirt Change hosts to FQDN
by Jeremey Wise 29 Sep '20

29 Sep '20

I posted that I had wiped out the oVirt-engine.. running cleanup on all three nodes. Done a re-deployment. Then to add nodes back.. though all have entries for eachother in /etc/hosts and ssh works fine via short and long name. I added nodes back into cluster.. but had to do it via IP to get past error. Now, if I go to create a volume via the GUI in gluster I get: Error while executing action Create Gluster Volume: Volume create failed: rc=30800 out=() err=["Host 172_16_100_102 is not in 'Peer in Cluster' state"] Which seems to be related to using IP vs DNS to add gluster volumes https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1055928 Question: how do i fix the hosts in cluster being defined by IP vs desired hostname? -- jeremey.wise(a)gmail.com

Source storage domain info in storage live migration
by Gianluca Cecchi 29 Sep '20

29 Sep '20

Hello, having to monitor and check live storage migrations, it seems to me that scrolling through events I can see information about the target storage domain name, but nothing about the source. Is it correct? Can it be added? Which kind of rfe bugzilla should I use in case? Against what? Thanks, Gianluca

Trouble with restoring hosted engine from backup
by Siddharth Patil 29 Sep '20

29 Sep '20

Dear all, I'm trying to restore hosted-engine from backup, but it fails with the following error message: [ ERROR ] fatal: [localhost]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "msg": "\"Cluster name cannot be 'Default'. This is a reserved name for the default DataCenter. Please choose\" \" another name for the cluster\""} My DataCenter is called Primary and Cluster is called Default. I have two hosts node01 and node02, with shared storage through NFS. I'm running the restore on node02. I can restore successfully if I change the Cluster name, but then I cannot move node02 to the default cluster, or move node01 to the new cluster, as I cannot shut down the VMs currently running on node01. Please help! Regards, Siddharth

Newbie question on network
by valerio.luccio＠nyu.edu 29 Sep '20

29 Sep '20

I apologize for asking what is probably a very basic question. I installed and created a self-hosted engine using cockpit on a server. I can reach the self-hosted engine from anywhere within my network. I then created a new VM selecting the default ovirtmgmt for the network. The VM does not seem to connect to the network via the bridge. I the used the console to manually configured the network card and I have connectivity between the VM, the engine and the server, but not beyond. What am I doing wrong ? Can someone point to a good documentation page on the subject ? Thanks in advance, Valerio

Cannot change Cluster Compatibility Version after 4.4 upgrade
by paolo＠airaldi.it 28 Sep '20

28 Sep '20

Hi all, we have an oVirt 4.3 with 3 Hosts and 20 VMs. 2 Hosts are Dell PowerEdge R610 with 2 Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5540 processor each (Intel Nehalem IBRS SSBD), while the third is an HP ProLiant ML350p Gen8 with 2 Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2620 v2 processor (Intel SandyBridge IBRS SSBD MDS) They all are in the same Cluster. Some of the 20 VMs are Windows (Win 10, Win 2012 and Win 2016) We have upgraded to 4.4.2.6-1.el8 following the instruction https://www.ovirt.org/documentation/upgrade_guide/#SHE_Upgrading_from_4-3. We had some minor issues that have been fixed and now we need to change Cluster Compatibility Version, but it fails complaining about Win10 and Win2016 VMs. In agent.log, for each of them I have: WARN [org.ovirt.engine.core.bll.UpdateVmCommand] (default task-122) [292f1983] Validation of action 'UpdateVm' failed for user admin@internal-authz. Reasons: VAR__ACTION__UPDATE,VAR__TYPE__VM,CPU_TYPE_UNSUPPORTED_FOR_THE_GUEST_OS,$uns upportedCpus opteron_g1, conroe, nehalem, penryn The same messages appear even if the VMs are powered off. We tried to change the Operating System in one VM configuration and if we put Win2012 the VM is no more in the error list when we edit the Cluster, but we're not sure the VMs will restart once Cluster compatibility will be to 4.4 How can we proceed?

Hi 1) trunk all the network including management, VM traffic subnets in both ports and tag the management network as native 2) configure the bonds with active/backup with management IP while installing the OS 3) proceed the hosted engine installation in the same management network 4) once hosted engine is up, add all hosts and create vm traffic network with VLAN tags
