Hi, I was used to use the vmconsole proxy, but since a while, I'm getting this issue (currently 4.4.5): # ssh -t -p 2222 ovirt-vmconsole(a)air.v100.abes.fr connect ovirt-vmconsole(a)air.v100.abes.fr: Permission denied (publickey).

looking for some ISV backup software which integrates the backup API

by Nathanaël Blanchet

Hello, We are about to change our backup provider, and I find it is a great chance to choose a full supported ovirt backup solution. I currently use this python script vm-backup-scheduler (https://github.com/wefixit-AT/oVirtBackup) but it is not the workflow officially suggested by the community (https://www.ovirt.org/develop/release-management/features/storage/backup-...). I've been looking for a long time an ISV who supports such an API, but the only one I found is this one : Acronis Backup Advanced suggested here https://access.redhat.com/ecosystem/search/#/ecosystem/Red%20Hat%20Enterp... I ran the trial version, but it doesn't seem to do better than the vm-backup-scheduler script, and it doesn't seem to use the backup API (attach a clone as a disk to an existing vm). Can you suggest me some other ISV solutions, if they ever exist... or share me your backup experience?

VM HostedEngine is down with error

by souvaliotimaria＠mail.com

Hello everyone, I have a replica 2 + arbiter installation and this morning the Hosted Engine gave the following error on the UI and resumed on a different node (node3) than the one it was originally running(node1). (The original node has more memory than the one it ended up, but it had a better memory usage percentage at the time). Also, the only way I discovered the migration had happened and there was an Error in Events, was because I logged in the web interface of ovirt for a routine inspection. Βesides that, everything was working properly and still is. The error that popped is the following: VM HostedEngine is down with error. Exit message: internal error: qemu unexpectedly closed the monitor: 2020-09-01T06:49:20.749126Z qemu-kvm: warning: All CPU(s) up to maxcpus should be described in NUMA config, ability to start up with partial NUMA mappings is obsoleted and will be removed in future 2020-09-01T06:49:20.927274Z qemu-kvm: -device virtio-blk-pci,iothread=iothread1,scsi=off,bus=pci.0,addr=0x7,drive=drive-ua-d5de54b6-9f8e-4fba-819b-ebf6780757d2,id=ua-d5de54b6-9f8e-4fba-819b-ebf6780757d2,bootindex=1,write-cache=on: Failed to get "write" lock Is another process using the image?. Which from what I could gather concerns the following snippet from the HostedEngine.xml and it's the virtio disk of the Hosted Engine: <disk type='file' device='disk' snapshot='no'> <driver name='qemu' type='raw' cache='none' error_policy='stop' io='threads' iothread='1'/> <source file='/var/run/vdsm/storage/80f6e393-9718-4738-a14a-64cf43c3d8c2/d5de54b6-9f8e-4fba-819b-ebf6780757d2/a48555f4-be23-4467-8a54-400ae7baf9d7'> <seclabel model='dac' relabel='no'/> </source> <target dev='vda' bus='virtio'/> <serial>d5de54b6-9f8e-4fba-819b-ebf6780757d2</serial> <alias name='ua-d5de54b6-9f8e-4fba-819b-ebf6780757d2'/> <address type='pci' domain='0x0000' bus='0x00' slot='0x07' function='0x0'/> </disk> I've tried looking into the logs and the sar command but I couldn't find anything to relate with the above errors and determining the reason for it to happen. Is this a Gluster or a QEMU problem? The Hosted Engine was manually migrated five days before on node1. Is there a standard practice I could follow to determine what happened and secure my system? Thank you very much for your time, Maria Souvalioti

OVS switch type for hosted-engine

by Devin A. Bougie

Is it possible to setup a hosted engine using the OVS switch type instead of Legacy? If it's not possible to start out as OVS, instructions for switching from Legacy to OVS after the fact would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks, Devin

USB3 redirection

by Rik Theys

Hi, I'm trying to assign a USB3 controller to a CentOS 7.4 VM in oVirt 4.1 with USB redirection enabled. I've created the following file in /etc/ovirt-engine/osinfo.conf.d: 01-usb.properties with content os.other.devices.usb.controller.value = nec-xhci and have restarted ovirt-engine. If I disable USB-support in the web interface for the VM, the xhci controller is added to the VM (I can see it in the qemu-kvm commandline), but usb redirection is not available. If I enable USB-support in the UI, no xhci controller is added (only 4 uhci controllers). Is there a way to make the controllers for usb redirection xhci controllers?

OVN routing and firewalling in oVirt

by Gianluca Cecchi

Hello, how do we manage routing between different OVN networks in oVirt? And between OVN networks and physical ones? Based on architecture read here: http://openvswitch.org/support/dist-docs/ovn-architecture.7.html I see terms for logical routers and gateway routers respectively but how to apply to oVirt configuration? Do I have to choose between setting up a specialized VM or a physical one: is it applicable/advisable to put on oVirt host itself the gateway functionality? Is there any security policy (like security groups in Openstack) to implement? Thanks, Gianluca

Hi all, I try to install hosted-engine on node : ovirt-node-ng-4.2.3-0.20180518. Every times I get stuck on : [ ERROR ] fatal: [localhost]: FAILED! => {"attempts": 50, "changed": true, "cmd": "virsh -r net-dhcp-leases default | grep -i 00:16:3e:6c:5a:91 | awk '{ print $5 }' | cut -f1 -d'/'", "delta": "0:00:00.108872", "end": "2018-06-01 11:17:34.421769", "rc": 0, "start": "2018-06-01 11:17:34.312897", "stderr": "", "stderr_lines": [], "stdout": "", "stdout_lines": []} I tried with static IP Address and with DHCP but both failed. To be more specific, I installed three nodes, deployed glusterfs with the wizard. I'm in a nested virtualization environment for this lab (Vmware Esxi Hypervisor). My node IP is : 192.168.176.40 / and I want the hosted-engine vm has 192.168.176.43. Thanks, Florent

Important changes to the oVirt Terraform Provider

by Janos Bonic

Dear oVirt community, We are making sweeping and backwards-incompatible changes to the oVirt Terraform provider. *We want your feedback before we make these changes.* Here’s the short list what we would like to change, please read the details below. 1. The current master branch will be renamed to legacy. The usage of this provider will be phased out within Red Hat around the end / beginning of next year. If you want to create a fork, we are happy to add a link to your fork to the readme. 2. A new main branch will be created and a *new Terraform provider* written from scratch on the basis of go-ovirt-client <https://github.com/ovirt/go-ovirt-client>. (Preview here <https://github.com/haveyoudebuggedit/terraform-provider-ovirt>) This provider will only have limited functionality in its first release. 3. This new provider will be released to the Terraform registry, and will have full test coverage and documentation. This provider will be released as version v2.0.0 when ready to signal that it is built on the Terraform SDK v2. 4. A copy of this new Terraform provider will be kept in the v1 branch and backported to the Terraform SDK v1 for the benefit of the OpenShift Installer <https://github.com/openshift/installer>. We will not tag any releases, and we will not release this backported version in binary form. 5. We are hosting a *community call* on the 14th of October at 13:00 UTC on this link <https://bluejeans.com/476587312/8047>. Please join to provide feedback and suggest changes to this plan. Why are we doing this? The original Terraform provider <https://github.com/EMSL-MSC/terraform-provider-ovirt> for oVirt was written four years ago by @Maigard <https://github.com/Maigard> at EMSL-MSC <http://github.com/EMSL-MSC/terraform-provider-ovirt>. The oVirt fork of this provider is about 2 years old and went through rapid expansion, adding a large number of features. Unfortunately, this continuous rapid growth came at a price: the original test infrastructure deteriorated and certain resources, especially the virtual machine creation ballooned to a size we feel has become unmaintainable. If you tried to contribute to the Terraform provider recently, you may have noticed that our review process has become extremely slow. We can no longer run the original tests, and our end to end test suite is not integrated outside of the OpenShift CI system. Every change to the provider requires one of only 3 people to review the code and also run a manual test suite that is currently only runable on one computer. We also noticed an increasing number of bugs reported on OpenShift on oVirt/RHV related to the Terraform provider. Our original plan was that we would fix the test infrastructure and then subsequently slowly transition API calls to go-ovirt-client, but that resulted in a PR that is over 5000 lines in code <https://github.com/oVirt/terraform-provider-ovirt/pull/277> and cannot in good conscience be merged in a single piece. Splitting it up is difficult, and would likely result in broken functionality where test coverage is not present. What are we changing for you, the users? First of all, documentation. You can already preview the documentation here <https://registry.terraform.io/providers/haveyoudebuggedit/ovirt/latest/docs>. You will notice that the provider currently only supports a small set of features. You can find the full list of features <https://github.com/haveyoudebuggedit/terraform-provider-ovirt/milestone/1> we are planning for the first release on GitHub. However, if you are using resources like cluster creation, etc. these will currently not work and we recommend sticking to the old provider for the time being. The second big change will be how resources are treated. Instead of creating large resources that need to call several of the oVirt APIs to create, we will create resources that are only calling one API. This will lead to fewer bugs. For example: - ovirt_vm will create the VM, but not attach any disks or network interfaces to it. - ovirt_disk_attachment or ovirt_disk_attachments will attach a disk to the VM. - ovirt_nic will create a network interface. - ovirt_vm_start will start the virtual machine when provisioned, stop it when deprovisioned. You can use the depends_on <https://www.terraform.io/docs/language/meta-arguments/depends_on.html> meta-argument to make sure disks and network interfaces are attached before you start the VM. Alternatively, you can hot-plug network interfaces later. For example: resource "ovirt_vm" "test" { cluster_id = "some-cluster-id" template_id = "some-template-id" } resource "ovirt_disk" "test" { storagedomain_id = "some-storage-domain-id" format = "cow" size = 512 alias = "test" sparse = true } resource "ovirt_disk_attachment" "test" { vm_id = ovirt_vm.test.id disk_id = ovirt_disk.test.id disk_interface = "virtio_scsi" } resource "ovirt_vm_start" "test" { vm_id = ovirt_vm.test.id depends_on = [ovirt_disk_attachment.test] } The next change is the availability of the provider on the Terraform Registry. You will no longer have to download the binary. Instead, you will be able to simply pull in the provider like this: terraform { required_providers { ovirt = { source = "ovirt/ovirt" version = "..." } } } provider "ovirt" { # Configuration options } The configuration options for the provider itself have also been greatly expanded, see the preliminary documentation <https://registry.terraform.io/providers/haveyoudebuggedit/ovirt/latest/docs> for details. What’s changing behind the scenes? The new Terraform provider is a complete rewrite based on the go-ovirt-client <https://github.com/ovirt/go-ovirt-client> library. The single biggest advantage of this library is that it has built-in mocks for all resources it supports. Having mocks allows us to run tests without needing to spin up an oVirt instance. We have already configured GitHub Actions <https://github.com/haveyoudebuggedit/terraform-provider-ovirt/actions> on the new provider and all changes are automatically checked against these mocks. We may decide to add an end-to-end test later, but for the foreseeable future we will trust the correctness of the mocks to test community contributions. This means that we will be able to merge changes much quicker. On the OpenShift side we will also switch to using the new provider, since this is the primary motivation for the change. The OpenShift Installer uses the legacy version 1 of the Terraform SDK, so we will maintain a version 1-compatible copy in the v1 branch, which the installer can pull in. It is important to note, however, that the v1 branch will be a pure backport, we will not develop it separately. Development will be focused on the version in main that is being released to the Terraform Registry. What does this mean to you, the contributors? The current Terraform provider has several pull requests open <https://github.com/oVirt/terraform-provider-ovirt/pulls>. Unfortunately, we currently do not have the capacity to properly vet and and run our internal test suite against these changes. In contrast to the new Terraform provider, we do not have working tests, linting, and the code structure that make merging changes easier. We are very sorry to say that *these patches are unlikely to be merged*. We know that this is a terrible thing, you have put in effort into writing them. Unfortunately, we do not see an alternative as there already numerous bugs on our radar and adding more code would not make the problem go away. We want to hear your opinion As the owners of the original Terraform provider we haven’t been keeping up with reviewing your contributions and issues. Some are several months old and haven’t received answers for a long time. We want to change that, we want to hear from you. Please join our community round table around the Terraform provider on the 14th of October at 13:00 UTC on this link <https://bluejeans.com/476587312/8047>. *We want to know: Which resources are the most important to you? How does this change impact you? Can we make the transition smoother for you? Would you do anything differently in the light of the issues described above?*

NFS Synology NAS (DSM 7)

by Maton, Brett

Hi List, I can't get oVirt 4.4.8.5-1.el8 (running on oVirt Node hosts) to connect to an NFS share on a Synology NAS. I gave up trying to get the hosted engine deployed and put that on an iscsi volume instead... The directory being exported from NAS is owned by vdsm / kvm (36:36) perms I've tried: 0750 0755 0777 Tried auto / v3 / v4_0 As others have mentioned regarding NFS, if I connect manually from the host with mount nas.mydomain.com:/volume1/ov_nas It connects and works just fine. If I try to add the share as a domain in oVirt I get Operation Cancelled Error while executing action Add Storage Connection: Permission settings on the specified path do not allow access to the storage. Verify permission settings on the specified storage path. When tailing /var/log/messages on When tailing /var/log/messages on the oVirt host, I see this message appear (I changed the domain name for this post so the dots might be transcoded in reality): Aug 27 17:36:07 ov001 systemd[1]: rhev-data\x2dcenter-mnt-nas.mydomain.com:_volume1_ov__nas.mount: Succeeded. The NAS is running the 'new' DSM 7, /etc/exports looks like this: /volume1/ov_nas x.x.x.x(rw,async,no_root_squash,anonuid=36,anongid=36) (reloaded with exportfs -ra) Any suggestions appreciated. Regards, Brett
