hosted engine vm not present
by Nathanaël Blanchet 28 Nov '21

28 Nov '21

Hello I successfully migrated from HE 4.3.10 to HE 4.4.9, but I think I commited a mistake: The HostedEngine vm was running on the host (haboob) where I deployed the upgrade path. Everything was ok except that I deployed it on the wrong host (haboob). So I live migrated the HostedEngine on the centos prexisting host (kilimanjaro) and erase haboob. Then I reinstalled a new host (fuego) to replace haboob. The HostedEngine is able to migrate between kilimajaro and fuego but now the vm seems to not be seen by any host when doing: [root@fuego ~]# hosted-engine --vm-status --== Host fuego (id: 1) status ==-- Host ID : 1 Host timestamp : 3252 Score : 3350 Engine status : {"vm": "down", "health": "bad", "detail": "unknown", "reason": "vm not running on this host"} Hostname : fuego Local maintenance : False stopped : False crc32 : 14527b72 conf_on_shared_storage : True local_conf_timestamp : 3257 Status up-to-date : True Extra metadata (valid at timestamp): metadata_parse_version=1 metadata_feature_version=1 timestamp=3252 (Sun Nov 28 18:27:29 2021) host-id=1 score=3350 vm_conf_refresh_time=3257 (Sun Nov 28 18:27:34 2021) conf_on_shared_storage=True maintenance=False state=EngineDown stopped=False --== Host kilimanjaro.v100.abes.fr (id: 3) status ==-- Host ID : 3 Host timestamp : 65261186 Score : 0 Engine status : {"reason": "vm not running on this host", "health": "bad", "vm": "down_unexpected", "detail": "unknown"} Hostname : kilimanjaro.v100.abes.fr Local maintenance : True stopped : False crc32 : c381cf1e conf_on_shared_storage : True local_conf_timestamp : 65261189 Status up-to-date : True Extra metadata (valid at timestamp): metadata_parse_version=1 metadata_feature_version=1 timestamp=65261186 (Sun Nov 28 19:27:23 2021) host-id=3 score=0 vm_conf_refresh_time=65261189 (Sun Nov 28 19:27:26 2021) conf_on_shared_storage=True maintenance=True state=LocalMaintenance stopped=False When doing hosted-engine --console, it returns: [root@fuego ~]# hosted-engine --console Command VM.getStats with args {'vmID': '74d2966c-2efa-41f0-a5c3-dd383f690a92'} failed: (code=1, message=Virtual machine does not exist: {'vmId': '74d2966c-2efa-41f0-a5c3-dd383f690a92'}) The engine VM is not on this host It is like the vmID was the old 4.3.10 HostedEngine that doesn't exist anymore. How can I make the new HostedEngine vmID be the good one known by HA and hosts? *I'm afraid to lose the HostedEngine vm when stopping it!* Thank you for your precious help. -- Nathanaël Blanchet Supervision réseau SIRE 227 avenue Professeur-Jean-Louis-Viala 34193 MONTPELLIER CEDEX 5 Tél. 33 (0)4 67 54 84 55 Fax 33 (0)4 67 54 84 14 blanchet(a)abes.fr

Re: Creating VMs from templates with their own disks

Yep. Your code: cloud_init: custom_script: | host_name: "{{ vm_fqdn }}" user_name: myadmin user_password: <password> write_files: - path: /tmp/setup.sh permissions: '0755' content: | #!/bin/bash echo "$(hostnamectl)" >> /tmp/myhostname.txt Yet, in "custom_script" there is no "host_name" (indentation shows that host_name is part of the custom script, not to mention the "|" character).

Attaching LVM logical volume to VM
by th3penguinwhisperer＠gmail.com 28 Nov '21

28 Nov '21

Hi, I've just migrated from Libvirt/kvm to oVirt. In libvirt I had a VM that had an LVM logical volume that was attached to a guest as a disk. However in oVirt I can't immediately find such a capability. I understand that this would "pin" my VM to this host but that's perfectly fine. Any pointers how this can be done? Thanks in advance!

Hosted Engine Deploy Failure

28 Nov '21

Keep getting the following error on a new clean install of the Hosted Engine on CentOS Stream. This is latest updated CentOS Stream (version 8 not 9) and latest version of ovirt https://resources.ovirt.org/pub/yum-repo/ovirt-release44.rpm Attempted via the Cockpit Web Interface Deployment Wizard. Any ideas? Some really old references to this issue a few years ago, but nothing recent. Gary Deployment Log Snippet.

Re: Creating VMs from templates with their own disks
by Sina Owolabi 26 Nov '21

26 Nov '21

Thanks Paul. I seem to be getting this by hand, but trying with ansible, I think my skills are a bit lacking. I can create with ansible, and it seems to work well, except for the fact that the new vm is created with the hostname of the vm from which the template was made. The disk is also named by the template. My ansiblle yaml is below and I'm pretty sure its wrong (especially where it needs to use cloud-init to inject the correct hostname, and the other prepping I would like to add). Please can you help correct me? --- - hosts: ovirt.ovirt.mydom.internal tasks: - import_tasks: ovirt_auth.yml - name: Creates new virtual machine ovirt.ovirt.ovirt_vm: auth: "{{ ovirt_auth }}" name: "{{ vm_fqdn }}" state: present clone: true cluster: lrg0-ovirt-cluster storage_domain: lrg0-ovirt-mydom-internal-Local memory: 16GiB cpu_cores: 8 cpu_sockets: 2 template: template-test00-centos8 type: server operating_system: other_linux sso: true disk_format: raw # disks: # - name: "{{ vm_fqdn }}-disk0" # bootable: true # nics: # - name: nic1 # boot_protocol: dhcp # interface: virtio # profile_name: "{{ net_profile_name }}" graphical_console: protocol: - spice - vnc cloud_init: custom_script: | host_name: "{{ vm_fqdn }}" user_name: myadmin user_password: <password> write_files: - path: /tmp/setup.sh permissions: '0755' content: | #!/bin/bash echo "$(hostnamectl)" >> /tmp/myhostname.txt ipa-client-install --hostname=`hostname -f` \ --mkhomedir --domain=services.mydom.internal \ --realm=SERVICES.MYDOM.INTERNAL --no-ntp \ --principal=admin --password=<password> \ --enable-dns-updates --unattended runcmd: - [ /tmp/setup.sh, "{{ vm_fqdn }}" ] On Wed, Nov 24, 2021 at 9:26 PM Staniforth, Paul < P.Staniforth(a)leedsbeckett.ac.uk> wrote: > Hello Sina, > > to use the template. > > Create new VM and select the template. > > Click the advanced options. > > In the boot section you can set the HD to be the first boot devices and > unselect any CD. > In the Resource Allocation section, you can set the storage allocation to > clone instead of thin ( this will create a copy of the template disk), you > can also set the disk alias name. > > you can also edit the template to make sure the HD is the first boot > device. > > I don't know what's in your ansible yaml definition. > > Cloning is for copying VMs or snapshots not templates. > > Regards, > > Paul S. > ------------------------------ > *From:* Sina Owolabi <notify.sina(a)gmail.com> > *Sent:* 24 November 2021 09:28 > *To:* Staniforth, Paul <P.Staniforth(a)leedsbeckett.ac.uk> > *Cc:* users(a)ovirt.org <users(a)ovirt.org> > *Subject:* Re: [ovirt-users] Re: Creating VMs from templates with their > own disks > > > *Caution External Mail:* Do not click any links or open any attachments > unless you trust the sender and know that the content is safe. > Hello > > Sorry for the late reply, work has been crazy. > > This doesnt seem to work as advertised, or I am still not getting it. > Either way I would really appreciate some help and guidance. > > Steps I have attempted: > 1.

So, it's hard to follow the chain but so far I saw 'gluster volume heal info' showing '-' for 2 out of 3 hosts. Can you provide the following from all nodes: gluster pool listgluster peer statusgluster volume listfor i in $(gluster volume list); do gluster volume heal $i info summary; done Also, it's safe to restart the 'glusterd.service' via 'systemctl restart glusterd.service'.

The hosted-engine is not on the same network at all and can not ping the IP's associated with those cards. Are you saying that it needs access to that network, or that is needs to be able to resolve the IP's. I can add them to the /etc/hosts file on the ovirt-engine or do I need to reconfigure my setup? It was working as it currently configured before applying the update. I have no idea why the ovirt1 server is not showing up with the fqdn. I set up all the servers the same way. It's been like that since I set things up. I have looked for where this might be corrected, but can't find it. Ideas? The yellow bricks... I can force start them (and I have in the past), but now it turns green for a few minutes and then returns to red.

About the SSL Certificates
by Jorge Visentini 25 Nov '21

25 Nov '21

Hi guys! I read and read, and read more about the SSL Certificates on the oVirt and Red Hat site, but I have a little fear of changing my Engine. 1 - What happens if the certificates expire? 2 - The certificates are updated if I run the engine-setup again? 3 - What have I done to change the CA and the other certificates? Cheers! -- Att, Jorge Visentini +55 55 98432-9868

Are you saying that it needs access to that network, or that is needs to be able to resolve the IP's. I can add them to the /etc/hosts file on the ovirt-engine or do I need to reconfigure my setup?
