How to add a note to a VM
by Gianluca Cecchi
Hello,
I know there are the "Comment" and "Description" columns available in many
areas of the Webadmin Gui.
But there are some tasks, like "shutdown VM" or "Management -> Maintenance"
for a host, where I can specify a "reason" for doing that task and then a
note icon appears, aside the object, with the mouse over showing the note
text, like in this image:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1v3Yd2t7AtuRFMT6HPFYYZqYUmJLMHYMY/view?us...
Is there a way to do it in general? So for example I have a VM and I want
to put a note (for some colleague, or to remind me to do an action
tomorrow, ecc...)
And btw: how can I manually remove the note? Eg I shutdown a VM and fill in
the "Reason" field and then in a second moment I want to remove it....
Thanks in advance,
Gianluca

Hosted Engine ansible runner artifacts cleanup
by Erez Zarum
Hey,
I can't get the artifacts to cleanup, i have configured the ansible runner config.yml but it seems not to be running.
Should i restart the ovirt-engine service?
What is the best way to manually cleanup the artifacts (i can't get the correct ansible-runner command to clean it up) as it is starting to fill up disk space
Thanks

Re: fresh hyperconverged Gluster setup failed in ovirt 4.4.8
by Ax Olmos
The problem is that the ‘glusterd_brick_t’ file context is missing from selinux-policy-targeted 3.14.3-80 on CentOS 8 Stream.
It exists in the CentOS 8.4 version:
rpm -qpl selinux-policy-targeted-3.14.3-67.el8_4.2.noarch.rpm | grep gluster
/usr/share/selinux/targeted/default/active/modules/100/glusterd
/usr/share/selinux/targeted/default/active/modules/100/glusterd/cil
/usr/share/selinux/targeted/default/active/modules/100/glusterd/lang_ext
/var/lib/selinux/targeted/active/modules/100/glusterd
/var/lib/selinux/targeted/active/modules/100/glusterd/cil
/var/lib/selinux/targeted/active/modules/100/glusterd/hll
/var/lib/selinux/targeted/active/modules/100/glusterd/lang_ext
Not on CentOS 8 Stream:
rpm -qpl selinux-policy-targeted-3.14.3-80.el8.noarch.rpm | grep gluster
You can remove the selinux checks from:
/etc/ansible/roles/gluster.infra/roles/backend_setup/tasks/mount.yml
but I’m not sure of the implications of that.
This is a show stopper for oVirt and someone from oVirt needs to contact the CentOS 8 Stream maintainers and have them put the selinux context back, or come up with some other workaround.

Slow gluster replication
by David White
I can't remember if I've asked this already, or if someone else has brought this up.
I have noticed that gluster replication in a hyperconverged environment is very slow.
I just (successfully, this time) added a brick to volume that was originally built on a single-node Hyperconverged cluster.
One of my volumes has over 600GB, but the network is 10Gbps, so replication really shouldn't take that long.
It's been over two hours, and that volume has only replicated a little over 400GB. It feels like it's taking about 1GB every 30 seconds - 1 minute or so...
Why would this replication be so slow?

Configuring LUNS for self-hosted engine install
by Virden, Gerald
Hi,
I have a host with two 16TB LUNS that I want to deploy a self-hosted engine on. I have so far been unsuccessful; the install either fails or hangs and Oracle is saying it is due to storage. I can see both LUNS with multipath -ll. Does anyone know of step by step instructions on what to do to configure the LUNS so the engine will see them and set up the storage domain?

Re: fresh hyperconverged Gluster setup failed in ovirt 4.4.8
by Eddie Garcia
I have been having this issue as well with no solution working but I came
across something interesting. In selinux-policy 3.14.3-77 they removed the
glusterd selinux module.
https://centos.pkgs.org/8-stream/centos-baseos-x86_64/selinux-policy-3.14...
so that policy doesn exist anymore for ansible to apply. I plan on testing
installing an older version into an ovirt node box to test which defaults
as of 4.4.8 to selinux-policy version 3.14.3-79.el8.
A clean install of CentOS 8 using latest iso has version 3.14.3-67.el8_4.2
and I can verify that manually setting policy with command 'semanage
fcontext -a -t glusterd_brick_t "/gluster_bricks(/.*)?"' is completed
successfully.
