UPN suffix and my SAM account do not have the sames domains
by dominique.deschenes＠gcgenicom.com
I have a SSO authentication question.
In my Active Directory, my UPN suffix login and my SAM account do not have the sames domains.
Example :
UPN : dominique.test(a)abc.com
Sam account : domtest(a)local.lan
On the VM portal, I am able to connect with dominique.test(a)abc.com but not with domtest(a)local.lan (I have the following message:server_error: Cannot resolve principal 'domtest(a)local.lan'
If I connect to the VM PORTAL with dominique.test(a)abc.com, when I click on "RDP Console" to get the link, the login of the RDP is dominique.test(a)local.lan. So I have to manually change the login to dominique.test(a)abc.com.
Is it possible to use the Sam account domtes(a)local.lan instead of the UPN ?
if not, is it possible to adjust the consol.rdp configuration and include the domain abc.com instead of local.lan ?
In research I found this, but I don't have access.

Re: Random hosts disconnects
by Anton Louw
Hi Everybody,
Did some digging around, and saw a few things regarding “vdsHeartbeatInSeconds”
I had a look at the properties file located at /etc/ovirt-engine/engine-config/engine-config.properties, and do not see an entry for “vdsHeartbeatInSeconds.type=Integer”.
Seeing as these data centers are geographically split, could the “vdsHeartbeatInSeconds” potentially be the issue? Is it safe to increase this value after I add “vdsHeartbeatInSeconds.type=Integer” into my engine-config.properties file?
Thanks

Subject: [ovirt-users] Random hosts disconnects
Hi All,
I have a strange issue in my oVirt environment. I currently have a standalone manager which is running in VMware. In my oVirt environment, I have two Data Centers. The manager is currently sitting on the same subnet as DC1. Randomly, hosts in DC2 will say “Not Responding” and then 2 seconds later, the hosts will activate again.
The strange thing is, when the manager was sitting on the same subnet as DC2, hosts in DC1 will randomly say “Not Responding”
I have tried going through the logs, but I cannot see anything out of the ordinary regarding why the hosts would drop connection. I have attached the engine.log for anybody that would like to do a spot check.
Thanks

Ovirt legacy migration policy is missing
by ovirtand-cnj342＠yahoo.com
Hello,
We have many cases of failed migrations, and reducing the load on the respective VMs made migration possible. Using "Suspend workload when needed" did not help either with the migrations, which only worked when stopping services on the VMs, thus reducing load.
I was therefore trying to tweak the migration downtime setting. The suggested way of doing this is by using the Legacy migration policy.
That being said, I am unable to find the Legacy migration policy in the VM Host tab, nor in the cluster's "Migration policy" tab. I cannot find any mention of it being left out of our current version (4.3.6.1) - moreover, the setting "Use custom migration downtime" (only available when using the Legacy migration policy) does exist in the interface - but I cannot find the Legacy policy itself.
The only policies present are Minimal downtime (default for cluster), Post-copy migration and Suspend workload when needed.
Is there a way to make the Legacy migration policy available if it's missing?
Thanks!
Best regards,
Andy
PS. Setting DefaultMaximumMigrationDowntime=20000 as default did not have any effect, presumably because the system uses one of the 3 pre-defined policies and ignores the "default"

Low Performance (KVM Vs VMware Hypervisor) When running multi-process application
by Ravin Ya
Hello Everyone,
Please advice. Any help will be highly appreciated. Thank you in advance.
Test Setup:
oVirt Centos 7.8 Virtulization Host
Guest VM Centos 7.8 (Mutiqueue enabled 6 vCPUs with 6 Rx Tx Queues)
The vCPUs are configured for host pass through (Pinned CPU).
The Guest VM runs the application in userspace. The Application consists of the parent process that reads packets in raw socket mode from the interface and forwards then to child processes (~vCPUs) via IPC (shared memory – pipes). The performance (throughput / CPU utilization) that I get with KVM is half of what I get with VMware.
Any thoughts on the below observations? Any suggestions?
KVM Guest VMs degraded performance when running multi-process applications.
High FUTEX time (Seen on the Guest VM when passing traffic).
High SY: System CPU time spent in kernel space (Seen on both Hypervisor and the Guest VMs only when running my application.)

cpu QoS doesn't work
by pub.virtualization＠gmail.com
Hello,
I set cpu QoS as 10 and applied it to VM on oVirt 4.2, but it doesn't seem to work.
compared to VM without QoS, there wasn't any difference in cpu usage.
Also, there wasn't any <period>...</period> or <quota>...</quota> field related to QoS in libvirt file.
is it right result??
Thanks,

Unable to create a node in oVirt 4.0
by Rodrigo G. López
Hi there,
We are trying to setup a node in the same machine where we are running
the engine, and noticed that the vdsmd service fails because the
supervdsmd daemon can't authenticate against libvirtd afaict.
The error is the following on supervdsmd:

failed: authentication failed

and in libvirtd:

Is there any way to work around that?
We have working infra on top of 4.0 in CentOS 7 systems, and we would
like to replicate the exact same environment for availability purposes,
in case anything bad happened.

Removal of deprecated init-scripts (network-scripts)
by Ales Musil
Hello,
network-scripts for host networking were deprecated since oVirt 4.4.
It will be removed completely in the 4.4.3 release. There is no action
required
for setups that did not change the configuration to use network-scripts
backend (net_nmstate_enabled = false).
Users that did disable nmstate should redeploy all affected hosts before
4.4.3.
Also can you please tell us what was the reason to use network-scripts, if
that is the case?
Thank you.
Best regards,
Ales Musil

Enable a cluster node to run the hosted engine
by rap＠isogmbh.de
Hi there,
currently my team is evaluating oVirt and we're also testing several fail scenarios, backup and so on.
One scenario was:
- hyperconverged oVirt cluster with 3 nodes
- self-hosted engine
- simulate the break down of one of the nodes by power off
- to replace it make a clean install of a new node and reintegrate it in the cluster
Actually everything worked out fine. The new installed node and related bricks (vmstore, data, engine) were added to the existing Gluster storage and it was added to the oVirt cluster (as host).
But there's one remaining problem: The new host doesn't have the grey crown, which means it's unable to run the hosted engine. How can I achieve that?
I also found out that the ovirt-ha-agent and ovirt-ha-broker isn't started/enabled on that node. Reason is that the /etc/ovirt-hosted-engine/hosted-engine.conf doesn't exist. I guess this is not only a problem concerning the hosted engine, but also for HA VM's.
Thank you for any advice and greetings,
Marcus
