snapshot solution: Existing snapshots that were taken after this one will be erased.
by dhanaraj.ramesh＠yahoo.com 29 Jan '25

Hi Team, when I want to commit the older snapshots I'm getting warning stating " Existing snapshots that were taken after this one will be erased.". is there any way we can retain the latest snapshots as is in the chain? I knew cloning and template export options are there to secure that latest snapshot data but these are will consume additional space in storage and take time.

Restart oVirt-Engine
by Jeremey Wise 09 Jan '25

09 Jan '25

How ,without reboot of hosting system, do I restart the oVirt engine? # I tried below but do not seem to effect the virtual machine [root@thor iso]# systemctl restart ov ovirt-ha-agent.service ovirt-imageio.service ovn-controller.service ovs-delete-transient-ports.service ovirt-ha-broker.service ovirt-vmconsole-host-sshd.service ovsdb-server.service ovs-vswitchd.service [root@thor iso]# # You cannot restart the VM " HostedEngine " as it responses: Error while executing action: HostedEngine: - Cannot restart VM. This VM is not managed by the engine. Reason is I had to do some work on a node. Reboot it.. it is back up.. network is all fine.. Cockpit working fine... and gluster fine.. But oVirt-Engine refuses to accept the node is up. -- p <jeremey.wise(a)gmail.com>enguinpages

SPM and Task error ...
by Enrico 22 Nov '24

22 Nov '24

Hi all, my ovirt cluster has got 3 Hypervisors runnig Centos 7.5.1804 vdsm is 4.20.39.1-1.el7, ovirt engine is 4.2.4.5-1.el7, the storage systems are HP MSA P2000 and 2050 (fibre channel). I need to stop one of the hypervisors for maintenance but this system is the storage pool manager. For this reason I decided to manually activate SPM in one of the other nodes but this operation is not successful. In the ovirt engine (engine.log) the error is this: 2019-07-25 12:39:16,744+02 INFO [org.ovirt.engine.core.bll.storage.pool.ForceSelectSPMCommand] (default task-30) [7c374384-f884-4dc9-87d0-7af27dce706b] Running command: ForceSelectSPMCommand internal: false.

How to re-enroll (or renew) host certificates for a single-host hosted-engine deployment?
by Derek Atkins 28 Jun '24

28 Jun '24

Hi, I've got a single-host hosted-engine deployment that I originally installed with 4.0 and have upgraded over the years to 4.3.10. I and some of my users have upgraded remote-viewer and now I get an error when I try to view the console of my VMs: (remote-viewer:8252): Spice-WARNING **: 11:30:41.806: ../subprojects/spice-common/common/ssl_verify.c:477:openssl_verify: Error in server certificate verification: CA signature digest algorithm too weak (num=68:depth0:/O=<My Org Name>/CN=<Host's Name>) I am 99.99% sure this is because the old certs use SHA1. I reran engine-setup on the engine and it asked me if I wanted to renew the PKI, and I answered yes. This replaced many[1] of the certificates in /etc/pki/ovirt-engine/certs on the engine, but it did not update the Host's certificate. All the documentation I've seen says that to refresh this certificate I need to put the host into maintenance mode and then re-enroll.. However I cannot do that, because this is a single-host system so I cannot put the host in local mode -- there is no place to migrate the VMs (let alone the Engine VM). So.... Is there a command-line way to re-enroll manually and update the host certs? Or some other way to get all the leftover certs renewed? Thanks, -derek [1] Not only did it not update the Host's cert, it did not update any of the vmconsole-proxy certs, nor the certs in /etc/pki/ovirt-vmconsole/, and obviously nothing in /etc/pki/ on the host itself. -- Derek Atkins 617-623-3745 derek(a)ihtfp.com www.ihtfp.com Computer and Internet Security Consultant

Changing disk QoS causes segfault with IO-Threads enabled (oVirt 4.3.0.4-1.el7)
by jloh＠squiz.net 23 Apr '24

23 Apr '24

We recently upgraded to 4.3.0 and have found that when changing disk QoS settings on VMs whilst IO-Threads is enabled causes them to segfault and the VM to reboot. We've been able to replicate this across several VMs. VMs with IO-Threads disabled/turned off do not segfault when changing the QoS. Mar 1 11:49:06 srvXX kernel: IO iothread1[30468]: segfault at fffffffffffffff8 ip 0000557649f2bd24 sp 00007f80de832f60 error 5 in qemu-kvm[5576498dd000+a03000] Mar 1 11:49:06 srvXX abrt-hook-ccpp: invalid number 'iothread1' Mar 1 11:49:11 srvXX libvirtd: 2019-03-01 00:49:11.116+0000: 13365: error : qemuMonitorIORead:609 : Unable to read from monitor: Connection reset by peer Happy to supply some more logs to someone if they'll help but just wondering whether anyone else has experienced this or knows of a current fix other than turning io-threads off. Cheers.

Network Address Change
by Paul.LKW 28 Dec '22

28 Dec '22

Hi All: I just has a case, I need to change the oVirt host and engine IP address due to data center decommission I checked in the hosted-engine host there are some files I could change ; in ovirt-hosted-engine/hosted-engine.conf ca_subject="O=simple.com, CN=1.2.3.4" gateway=1.2.3.254 and of course I need to change the ovirtmgmt interface IP too, I think just change the above line could do the tick, but where could I change the other host IP in the cluster ? I think I have to be lost all the host as once changed the hosted-engine host IP as it is in diff. sub net. Does there any command line tools could do that or someone has such experience could share? Best Regards, Paul.LKW

looking for some ISV backup software which integrates the backup API
by Nathanaël Blanchet 08 Jun '22

08 Jun '22

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-re…) 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%20Enterpri… 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 26 May '22

26 May '22

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

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 19 Apr '22

19 Apr '22

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 19 Apr '22

19 Apr '22

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

Host needs to be reinstalled after configuring power management
by Andrew DeMaria 02 Feb '22

02 Feb '22

Hi, I am running ovirt 4.3 and have found the following action item immediately after configuring power management for a host: Host needs to be reinstalled as important configuration changes were applied on it. The thing is - I've just freshly installed this host and it seems strange that I need to reinstall it. Is there a better way to install a host and configure power management without having to reinstall it after? Thanks, Andrew

Import an exported VM using Ansible
by paolo＠airaldi.it 25 Jan '22

25 Jan '22

Hello everybody! I'm trying to automate a copy of a VM from one Datacenter to another using an Ansible.playbook. I'm able to: - Create a snapshot of the source VM - create a clone from the snapshot - remove the snapshot - attach an Export Domain - export the clone to the Export Domain - remove the clone - detach the Export domain from the source Datacenter and attach to the destination. Unfortunately I cannot find a module to: - import the VM from the Export Domain - delete the VM image from the Export Domain. Any hint on how to do that? Thanks in advance. Cheers. Paolo PS: if someone is interested I can share the playbook.

Hello everyone. I would like to know how disk size and snapshot allocation works, because every time I create a new snapshot, it increases 1 GB in the VM's disk size, and when I remove the snap, that space is not returned to Domain Storage. I'm using the oVirt 4.3.10 How do I reprovision the VM disk? Thank you all.

Template for Ubuntu 18.04 Server Issues
by jeremy_tourville＠hotmail.com 02 Sep '21

02 Sep '21

I have built a system as a template on oVirt. Specifically, Ubuntu 18.04 server. I am noticing an issue when creating new vms from that template. I used the check box for "seal template" when creating the template. When I create a new Ubuntu VM I am getting duplicate IP addresses for all the machines created from the template. It seems like the checkbox doesn't fully function as intended. I would need to do further manual steps to clear up this issue. Has anyone else noticed this behavior? Is this expected or have I missed something? Thanks for your input!

Hi, I'm restoring a full ovirt engine backup, having used the --scope=all option, for oVirt 4.3. I restored the backup on a fresh CentOS7 machine. The process went well, but when trying to log into the restored authentication system I get the following message which won't allow me to log in: The provided authorization grant for the auth code has expired. What does that mean and how can it be fixed? Thanks. Nicolás

Libgfapi considerations
by Jayme 01 Jul '21

01 Jul '21

Are there currently any known issues with using libgfapi in the latest stable version of ovirt in hci deployments? I have recently enabled it and have noticed a significant (over 4x) increase in io performance on my vms. I’m concerned however since it does not seem to be an ovirt default setting. Is libgfapi considered safe and stable to use in ovirt 4.3 hci?

oVirt Node's Future Regarding CentOS Stream
by eshwayri＠gmail.com 21 Apr '21

21 Apr '21

So I just finished migrating my 4.3 engine to 4.4 on a brand new RHvEL8 install; next step is to upgrade the hosts. When I first started with oVirt I used my own CentOS installs, but quickly decided that it made no sense for my use case. Now I am looking at upgrading from 4.3 to 4.4 and asking myself the same question. Up to now oVirt node has been using the same exact OS I would have used +/- a few extra packages, but with the traditional CentOS going away it really depends on what the new oVirt nodes are going to be based on. I have a feeling the answer to that question is CentOS Stream, which I don't feel comfortable with for this task. While I am sure the developers will test the combination before releasing a new node, they are still only testing whatever specific hardware combination they have. There could be numerous weird bugs that will only show up in certain situations. If Stream was as stable as an EL release, there wouldn't be EL releases. I also appreciate the fa ct that oVirt is itself a work in progress, but the stable branch is considerably more like an EL release than a stream. Anyway, back to the point. Just want to confirm the future for node is stream before I go wasting time building my own EL8 hosts.

Is it possible to upgrade 3 node HCI from 4.3 to 4.4?
by Jayme 20 Apr '21

20 Apr '21

I have a fairly stock three node HCI setup running oVirt 4.3.9. The hosts are oVirt node. I'm using GlusterFS storage for the self hosted engine and for some VMs. I also have some other VMs running from an external NFS storage domain. Is it possible for me to upgrade this environment to 4.4 while keeping some of the VMs on GlusterFS storage domains running? Does the upgrade require an additional physical host? I'm reading through the upgrade guide and it's not very clear to me how the engine is reinstalled on CentOS8. Do you need a 4th host, or do you take one of the three existing hosts down, wipe it and install ovirt node 4.4? Would it be easier for me to just move all VMs to my NFS storage domain, wipe all hosts and deploy a brand new 4.4 HCI cluster then import the NFS storage domain? Will the 4.3 VMs on the NFS storage domain import/run properly into the new 4.4 deployment or are there any other considerations?

Introduction & general question about oVirt
by Nicolas Kovacs 20 Apr '21

20 Apr '21

Hi, I'm a 53-year old Austrian living in Montpezat, a small village in South France. I'm an IT professional with a focus on Linux and free software, and I've been a Linux user since Slackware 7.1. I'm doing web & mail hosting for myself and several small structures like our local school and a handful of local companies. Up until recently these hostings have happened on "bare metal" root servers using CentOS 7. One main server is hosting most of the stuff: WordPress sites, one OwnCloud instance, Dolibarr management software, GEPI learning platform, Postfix/Dovecot mail server, Roundcube webmail, etc. This setup has become increasingly problematic to manage, since applications have more and more specific requirements, like different versions of PHP and corresponding modules. So I decided to split everything up nicely into a series of virtual machines, each one with a nicely tailored setup. I have a couple of sandbox servers, one public and one local, running Oracle Linux 7 (a RHEL clone like CentOS). I played around with it, and KVM-based virtualization already works quite nicely. While looking for documentation, I stumbled over oVirt, which I didn't even know existed until last week. Before I dive head first into it, I'd be curious to know a few general things. 1. Would it be overkill for a small structure like mine? 2. Will I be able to do HA on a series of modest KVM-capable root servers even if they are located in different datacenters across different countries? 3. One problem I couldn't resolve using a bone-headed keep-it-simple KVM setup is backup. For my bare-metal servers I've been using incremental backups using Rsnapshot for years. Here's a blog article I wrote on the subject: https://blog.microlinux.fr/rsnapshot-centos-7/ Unfortunately I can't use this approach with huge QCOW images, at least not without jumping through burning loops. Is there an easy way to perform remote incremental backups with oVirt? BTW, I took a peek at Proxmox and Ceph, but I admit I'm a die-hard RHEL-clone user.

oVirt 4.4.4 not dislaying Sign-on Screen
by louisb＠ameritech.net 07 Apr '21

07 Apr '21

I recently installed oVirt 4.4.4, everything appeared to run successfully, however, I’m unable to get the sign-on screen to display on my RHEL 8.3 machine. I did do an install using the remote database installation. I encountered no issue with the install, I can see the “engine” and “ovirt_engine_history” in PostgreSQL 13.3. The tables and table spaces have all been created as designed by the installation process. When I enter the URL that was displayed once the installation completed I get the following information displayed on the screen: Internal Error I’ve tried using the port 443 and port 80 URL and get the same results. The URL are as follows: http://WorkstationName:80/ovirt-engine https://WorkstationName:443/ovirt-engine For three days I’ve been trying to locate logs that will help me located and resolve the problem, but so far I’ve had no luck. Can anyone tell where I should start looking to resolve my issue? I’ve checked several system logs and logs for Apache with luck. What should I be looking for within the logs? What logs should I be looking at? I don’t believe my issue is with the back-end database, I thinks its something with Apache not being able to find the web pages to display. How can I start to investigate my problem an develop a solution? My Linux/RHEL 8.3 OS has all of the latest patches and fixes applied. Thanks

Experience on using HCI with geo-replication for DR
by wodel youchi 07 Apr '21

07 Apr '21

Hi, Does anyone use ovirt HCI with geo-replication for DR? if yes, could you share your experience? We recently did a setup of 2 HCI platforms, and we configured geo-replication between them. The two platforms were configured with encryption and VDO. When testing the DR, we had some surprises : - Sometimes VMs are not imported - Sometimes some VMs are imported others not - Sometimes VMs are imported without their disks - Sometimes deleted items from the source are imported!!! - And sometimes the imported VMs are corrupted.

Accidentally changed VM Assigned Bridge for Hosted-Engine
by phunyguy＠neverserio.us 06 Apr '21

06 Apr '21

Hello, exactly as the title suggests, I did something stupid, and I am not sure how to fix this. I also cannot be certain that this was the exact cause of the problem, as I was troubleshooting another issue with a different VM refusing to start. What I did by accident, was selected the hosted-engine VM, rather than the VM I was attempting to troubleshoot, and changed the assigned network of the VM adapter to something else, and of course, lost connectivity to the engine VM. This caused HA to kick in and restart the engine, however, like the other VM, it is now refusing to start. Can anyone give me any pointers? agent/broker/vdsm.log are not showing anything useful that I can see. Thanks in advance. -phunyguy

Recently Ovirt sent certificate expiration messages. And it does not let me manage the server VMs, I have looked for information about this and I can not find something that is clear. The version of Ovirt that I own is 3.6.3.4-1.el7.cents. I have at least 4 operational VMs of vital importance. Thanks for the support

Problems after upgrade from 4.4.3 to 4.4.4
by tferic＠swissonline.ch 06 Apr '21

06 Apr '21

Hi I have problems after upgrading my 2-node cluster from 4.4.3 to 4.4.4. Initially, I performed the upgrade of the oVirt hosts using the oVirt GUI (I wasn't planning any changes). It appears that the upgrade broke the system. On host1, the ovirt-engine was configured to run on the oVirt host itself (not self-hosted engine). After the upgrade, the oVirt GUI didn't load in the Browser anymore. I tried to fix the issue by migrating to self-hosted engine, which did not work, so I ran engine restore and engine-setup in order to get back to the initial state. I am now able to login to the oVirt GUI again, but I am having the following problems: host1 is in status "Unassigned", and it has the SPM role. It cannot be set to maintenance mode, nor re-installed from GUI, but I am able to reboot the host from oVirt. All Storage Domains are inactive. (all NFS) In the /var/log/messages log, I can see the following message appearing frequently: "vdsm[5935]: ERROR ssl handshake: socket error, address: ::ffff:192.168.100.61" The cluster is down and no VM's can be run. I don't know how to fix either of the issues. Does anyone have an idea? I am appending a tar file containing log files to this email. http://gofile.me/5fp92/d7iGEqh3H <http://gofile.me/5fp92/d7iGEqh3H> Many thanks Toni

No option to remove OpenStack Glance storage domain.
by Gary Taylor 05 Apr '21

05 Apr '21

Hi, I was playing around a few months ago and added an ovirt-image-repository storage domain. There wasn't a real purpose for doing it, just trying to learn and play around. I tried to remove it earlier but couldn't figure out how because the Remove button is greyed out. I got busy and forgot about it. I am trying to clean it up now but the Remove button is still greyed out for that domain. How do I get rid of it now? It isn't being used. It's unattached.

Hosted-Engine vs Standalone Engine
by Ian Easter 05 Apr '21

05 Apr '21

Hello Folks, I have had to install a Hosted-Engine a few times in my environment. There have been some hardware issues and power issues that left the HE unrecoverable. In this situation, would the Standalone Engine install be more viable and less prone to become inoperable due to the previous issues? My assumption would be to have a head baremetal server run the Engine to control and maintain my blades. *Thank you,* *Ian*

Upgrade to release for oVirt 4.4.5 failing
by Gary Pedretty 05 Apr '21

05 Apr '21

Upgraded hosted-engine installation to latest version 4.4.5 today and engine will not come online. It starts and I can ssh and connect via cockpit, but it never passes liveliness check according to command line vm-status and Web portal for engine never loads. All processes appear to be working and nothing jumps out to me in the logs but ha agent keeps rebooting it on different hosts with the same result. 8 host in the cluster all are also updated to the latest updates across the board.

Locked disks
by Giulio Casella 01 Apr '21

01 Apr '21

Since yesterday I found a couple VMs with locked disk. I don't know the reason, I suspect some interaction made by our backup system (vprotect, snapshot based), despite it's working for more than a year. I'd give a chance to unlock_entity.sh script, but it reports: CAUTION, this operation may lead to data corruption and should be used with care. Please contact support prior to running this command Do you think I should trust? Is it safe? VMs are in production... My manager is 4.4.4.7-1.el8 (CentOS stream 8), hosts are oVirt Node 4.4.4 TIA, Giulio

Hyperconverged engine high availability?
by David White 31 Mar '21

31 Mar '21

I just finished deploying oVirt 4.4.5 onto a 3-node hyperconverged cluster running on Red Hat 8.3 OS. Over the course of the setup, I noticed that I had to setup the storage for the engine separately from the gluster bricks. It looks like the engine was installed onto /rhev/data-center/ on the first host, whereas the gluster bricks for all 3 hosts are on /gluster_bricks/. I fear that I may already know the answer to this, but: Is it possible to make the engine highly available? Also, thinking hypothetically here, what would happen to my VMs that are physically on the first server, if the first server crashed? The engine is what handles the high availability, correct? So what if a VM was running on the first host? There would be nothing to automatically "move" it to one of the remaining healthy hosts. Or am I misunderstanding something here?

Deployment issues
by Valerio Luccio 31 Mar '21

31 Mar '21

Hello all, last September I deployed Ovirt on a CentOS 8 server, with storage on our gluster (replica 3). I then added some VMs, etc. A few days ago I managed to screw everything up and, after bannging my head for a couple of days, decided to start from scratch. I made a copy of all the data under the storage to a safe space, the ran ovirt-hosted-engine-cleanup and deleted everything under the storage and tried to create a new hosted engine (I tried both from the cockpit and from command line). Everything seems to work fine (I can ssh to the engine) until it tries to save the engine to storage and it fails with the error: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "msg": "Fault reason is \"Operation Failed\". Fault detail is \"[Error creating a storage domain's metadata]\". HTTP response code is 400."} I don't get any more details. I'm using exactly the same parameters I used before. I have no problems reaching the gluster storage and the process does create the top-level directory and <top-level>/dom_md/ids with the correct ownership. I looked at the glusterfs log files, including the rhev-data-center-mnt-glusterSD-<host:_root>.log file, but I don't spot any specific error. What am I doing wrong ? Is there something else I need to clean up before trying a new deployment ? Should I just try to delete all of the ovirt configuration files ? Which ones ?

Re: Power failure makes cluster and hosted engine unusable
by Thomas Hoberg 31 Mar '21

31 Mar '21

Yup, that's a bug in the ansible code, I've come across on hosts that had 512GB of RAM. I quite simply deleted the checks from the ansible code and re-ran the wizard. I can't read YAML or Python or whatever it is that Ansible uses, but my impression is that things are 'cast' or converted into an INT data type on these checks that overflows at that point. I wound up commenting out the entire set of checks to get past this, because I could see no easy way to fix this. I just checked that the commands used to retrieve the memory size returned the proper number of kilobytes and then rolled my eyes at what seemd like a type cast operation. I never went deeper, because at that point I have a hard time keeping the beast inside me at bay, that sees how Ansible can bring a Xeon Scalable Gold system to what seems slower than a 6502 executing BASIC. The hosted-setup takes what seems like an hour, no matter how fast or slow your hardware. I was so fed up at the speed of Ansible and the quality of oVirt QA, I couldn't bring myself to open a ticket, I hope you're better motivated. BTW things aren't much better at the low end either. While Ansible doesn't seem that much slower on an Atom farm I also operate, the hosted-engine setup does fail on them, so replug their SSDs for that part into an i7 and then replug the SSDs to the Atoms aftwards. Once, up and running oVirt is just fine on Atoms (mine have 32GB of RAM each). I am almost ready to donate my Atoms to the project, because I keep thinking that oVirt's major chance would be as edge HCI, but they are asking for 128GB RAM minimum... BTW. I was running oVirt 4.3 on CentOS7 when hitting that error. No idea if it's still the same with 4.4/COS8 as my 'perhaps-next-but-more-likely-never' generation test farm runs on NUCs with 64GB.

Network issue
by Valerio Luccio 31 Mar '21

31 Mar '21

I'm slowly getting things back up, but I ran into a perplexing network problem. I created a new vNIC profile in the engine web UI and attached it to the hosted engine to test it, which in retrospect was not a good idea. I realized that I needed to change something in the parameters of the vNIC, but it won't let me do it because it's attached to the running engine; it will not let me remove the NIC from the engine because it's running. If I shut down the engine, how can I then change the configuration of it ? Seems like a Catch 22 situation.

Import VMs from disk
by valerio.luccio＠nyu.edu 31 Mar '21

31 Mar '21

As I've described before I had issues with my deployment and had to recreate the engine. I never had a chance to export my VMs, but I did back up the files. Now I would like to import the old VMs into the new engine. Is there a way to 'slurp' in the old images ? I see different way to import from an export domain, form VMWare, etc., but I don't see a way to import directly from disk. Do I need to convert them ? To what and how ? Thanks,

Seann, If this happens again, try doing nothing (seriously) Each time I've had a power failure, the engine takes a really long time to come back up. I don't know if it's by design or what. Host logs are flooded with errors, everything seemingly storage related. However, my Gluster setup is on fast SSDs and gets back and running pretty much straight away. It takes maybe 5 minutes for the nodes to re-join and the volumes to show 'UP' with no heals. However, it still takes the hosted-engine a good hour or two to simmer down and finally start up. Sometimes I try to help by restarting ha-broker and ha-agent, or plunking in other random commands from the mess of documentation, but it seems to sort itself out on its own time, regardless of my tinkering. I wish I could get more insight into the process, but definitely, doing nothing and waiting has been the most successful troubleshooting step I have taken. Cheers!

Power failure makes cluster and hosted engine unusable
by Seann G. Clark 29 Mar '21

29 Mar '21

All, After a power failure, and generator failure I lost my cluster, and the Hosted engine refused to restart after power was restored. I would expect, once storage comes up that the hosted engine comes back online without too much of a fight. In practice because the SPM went down as well, there is no (clearly documented) way to clear any of the stale locks, and no way to recover both the hosted engine and the cluster. I have spent the last 12 hours trying to get a functional hosted-engine back online, on a new node and each attempt hits a new error, from the installer not understanding that 16384mb of dedicated VM memory out of 192GB free on the host is indeed bigger than 4096MB, to ansible dying on an error like this "Error while executing action: Cannot add Storage Connection. Storage connection already exists." The memory error referenced above shows up as: [ ERROR ] fatal: [localhost]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "msg": "Available memory ( {'failed': False, 'changed': False, 'ansible_facts': {u'max_mem': u'180746'}}MB ) is less then the minimal requirement (4096MB). Be aware that 512MB is reserved for the host and cannot be allocated to the engine VM."} That is what I typically get when I try the steps outlined in the KB "CHAPTER 7. RECOVERING A SELF-HOSTED ENGINE FROM AN EXISTING BACKUP" from the RH Customer portal. I have tried this numerous ways, and the cluster still remains in a bad state, with the hosted engine being 100% inoperable. What I do have are the two host that are part of the cluster and can host the engine, and backups of the original hosted engine, both disk and engine-backup generated. I am not sure what I can do next, to recover this cluster, any suggestions would be apricated. Regards, Seann

VLAN Trunking to Cluster Nodes
by Jason Alexander Hazen Valliant-Saunders 29 Mar '21

29 Mar '21

Good Day Ovirt Users; I am running a the following Setup: [image: image.png] [image: image.png] [image: image.png] I need to setup the BOND1 connector in the Datacenter with 9 VLAN's they Exist on the Ovirt Node already and the Bond is UP: [image: image.png] (bond0 is 10GB Chelsio Storage Network) The idea is to pass through Vlan's on bond1 (bond1.1, 1.2, 1.3, 1.n ) where n = vlanid. However I'm unsure as to how I go about setting up the Provider in the datacenter, so that bond1 is used to trunk vlans into the DC. From what I have read the VLAN"s need to exist on the cluster node (they do); but the ovirt-engine must then have some kind of provider configured (just like it does for ovirt mgt) then i can map the vNic Profiles to that new provider as per their vlan assignment. Regards, Hazen

Cinderlib problem after upgrade from 4.3.10 to 4.4.5
by Marc-Christian Schröer 29 Mar '21

29 Mar '21

Hello all, first of all thank you very much for this stable virtualization environment. It has been a pillar for our company’s business for more than 5 years now and after migrating from version 3 to 4 it has been so stable ever since. Anyway, I ran into a problem I cannot fix on my own yesterday: After a lot of consideration and hesitation since this is a production environment I followed the upgrade guide (https://www.ovirt.org/documentation/upgrade_guide/ <https://www.ovirt.org/documentation/upgrade_guide/>), configured a vanilla CentOS 8 server as controller, decommissioned the old 4.3 controller and fired up the new one. It worked like a charm until I tried to migrate VMs, start new ones or even create new disks. We use Ceph as managed storage, providing a SSD only and a HDD only pool. The UI simply told me that there was an error. I started investigating the issue and found corresponding log entries in ovirt-engine.log: 2021-03-22 10:36:37,247+01 ERROR [org.ovirt.engine.core.common.utils.cinderlib.CinderlibExecutor] (EE-ManagedScheduledExecutorService-engineScheduledThreadPool-Thread-24) [67bf193c] cinderlib execution failed: But that was all the engine had to say about the issue. There was no stack trace or additional information. There is no logfile in /var/log/ovirt-engine/cinderlib/, the directory simply is empty while on the other controller it was frequently filed with annoying „already mounted“ messages. Can anyone help me with that issue? I searched the web for a solution or someone else with the same problem, but came up empty. Is there a way to turn up the log level for cinderlib? Are there any dependencies I have to install besides the ovirt packages? Any help is very much appreciated! Kind regards and stay healthy, Marc -- ________________________________________________________________________ Dipl.-Inform.

Unable to add hosts to cluster & possible related routing issue
by David White 27 Mar '21

27 Mar '21

Hi all, I used the oVirt installer via cockpit to setup a hyperconverged cluster on 3 physical hosts running Red Hat 8.3. I used the following two resources to guide my work: - https://www.ovirt.org/documentation/gluster-hyperconverged/chap-Deploying_H… - https://blogs.ovirt.org/2018/02/up-and-running-with-ovirt-4-2-and-gluster-s… As I mentioned in a previous email a week ago, it appears as if the wizard successfully setup gluster on all 3 of the servers, and the wizard also successfully setup the ovirt engine on the first host. However, the oVirt engine only recognizes the first host, and only the first host's physical resources are available to the cluster. So I have Gluster 8 installed on the 3 hosts (RHEL 8), and oVirt 4.4.5 installed on the first host, along with the ovirt engine VM. I run `gluster peer status` from the first node, can confirm that the other two physical hosts are healthy: (example.com is replacing actual domain below) [root@cha1-storage ~]# gluster peer statusNumber of Peers: 2Hostname: cha2-storage.mgt.example.comUuid: 240a7ab1-ab52-4e5b-98ed-d978f848835eState: Peer in Cluster (Connected)Hostname: cha3-storage.mgt.example.comUuid: 0563c3e8-237d-4409-a09a-ec51719b0da6State: Peer in Cluster (Connected) I am now trying to get the other two hosts added to the Engine. I navigate to Compute -> Hosts, and click New, fill in the details (hostname, root password, etc..) and begin the installation on the additional hosts. It keeps failing. Checking the error logs in /var/log/ovirt-engine/host-deploy on the Engine VM, I see the following near the bottom: "msg" : "Failed to download metadata for repo 'ovirt-4.4-epel': Cannot prepare internal mirrorlist: Curl error (7): Couldn't connect to server for https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/metalink?repo=epel-8&arch=x86_64&infra=$i… [Failed to connect to mirrors.fedoraproject.org port 443: No route to host]", I can confirm that the Engine and each of the hosts are able to get to mirrors.fedoraproject.org: I've run the following on both the Engine, as well as each of the hosts (the first host where everything is installed, as well as the 2nd host where I'm trying to get it installed): [root@ovirt-engine1 host-deploy]# curl -i https://mirrors.fedoraproject.org HTTP/2 302 Note, that this traffic is going out the management network. That may be an important distinction -- keep reading. So this does lead me to another issue that may or may not be related. I've discovered that, from the RHEL 8 host's perspective, the public facing network is unable to get out to the internet. Management (Gluster & the Engine VM) is on: 10.1.0.0/24 Each of the hosts are able to ping each other and communicate with each other. Each of the hosts are able to ping 8.8.8.8 whenever the frontend network interface is disabled (see below). The frontend network is on: 192.168.0.0/24 Each of the hosts are able to ping each other on this network But this network isn't able to get out to the internet (yet). Obviously I need to fix the routing and figure out why the 192.168.0.0/24 network is unable to reach the internet. But shouldn't all the traffic to install the ovirt functionality onto the 2nd host go out the management network? So to summarize, I have a few questions: - Why didn't the wizard properly install the ovirt functionality onto all 3 hosts to begin with when I did the initial installation? - From the physical host's perspective, what should be the default route? The internal management, or the front-end network? - Is the following statement accurate? - The ovirt-engine's default route should be management -- it doesn't even have a front-end IP address. - Why would the ovirt engine fail to install, and indicate that it cannot get to mirrors.fedoraproject.org, when clearly it can? - Again, the ovirt-engine VM is able to curl that URL and gets a valid http response. - Any other tips or suggestions on how to troubleshoot this? Sent with ProtonMail Secure Email.

hosted engine vm don't boot after minor update
by a.cor＠outlook.com 26 Mar '21

26 Mar '21

Hello! I have rhv 4.4.2 and NFS storage type for HE Domain Storage. I updated to 4.4.4 by guide (https://www.ovirt.org/documentation/upgrade_guide/#Updating_a_self-hosted_e…) and reboot Hosted Engine VM. After this VM is not booting. Connected to console I see next error: BdsDxe: failed to load Boot0001 "UEFI Misc Device"... After "Press any key" I got BIOS screen, go to Device Manager -> Drive Health Manager I see nothing. I suggest that something happened with VM config. Check /etc/ovirt-hosted-engine/hosted-engine.conf All looks correctly (I checked UUID to Domain Storage and etc.) Check /var/run/ovirt-hosted-engine-ha/vm.conf. After encoding base64 I found something like this: <source file="/rhev/data-center/0000-0000-0000-0000-0000/6916940d-b21b-4739-9d6b-4f7ff9e72a9e/images/9a17d31d-30f8-480d-a106-2fa7f0d48c40/a817c10b-0366-4c05-b512-e6beb8308b5d All path is correct only zero after data-center/. I changed it to real path, decode to base64 and try to start VM with hosted-engine --vm-start --vm-conf=PATH_TO_NEW_FILE. Nothing. I see similar error. Could someone help me in this case?

Hosted engine deployment fail because host version does not match cluster version
by emanuele.breuza＠e4company.com 26 Mar '21

26 Mar '21

Hello, I'm Emanuele. I'm interested in setting up a 3 node HA oVirt cluster on RHEL 8.3. Following the oVirt Gluster Hyperconvergence guide, I managed to setup a GlusterFS storage and then I started the procedure to configure a self-hosted engine via cockpit. Unfortunately, I got stack at the "Prepare VM stage". During this procedure, the automated process paused to let you verify inside the ovirt-engine that your host is OK. Since this is a brand new installation of oVirt, I have only one host configured and it is marked as not-good. The reason reported in the web page is that the host is compatible for v. 4.2, 4.3 and 4.4 but the Cluster is v. 4.5. I tried to execute the upgrade procedure on the host but it was unable to go into maintenance mode. I tried both ovirt-release44 and ovirt-release-master RPM to load the latest repository but without success. Do you have any suggestion about how to fix the self-hosted engine procedure? BTW, if I install my server with the oVirt node ISO the procedure works correctly and my host report also 4.5 into the compatibility version list. Thank you very much for your help!!!

[ANN] oVirt 4.4.6 First Release Candidate is now available for testing
by Lev Veyde 25 Mar '21

25 Mar '21

oVirt 4.4.6 First Release Candidate is now available for testing The oVirt Project is pleased to announce the availability of oVirt 4.4.6 First Release Candidate for testing, as of March 25th, 2021. This update is the sixth in a series of stabilization updates to the 4.4 series. How to prevent hosts entering emergency mode after upgrade from oVirt 4.4.1 Note: Upgrading from 4.4.2 GA or later should not require re-doing these steps, if already performed while upgrading from 4.4.1 to 4.4.2 GA. These are only required to be done once. Due to Bug 1837864 <https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1837864> - Host enter emergency mode after upgrading to latest build If you have your root file system on a multipath device on your hosts you should be aware that after upgrading from 4.4.1 to 4.4.6 you may get your host entering emergency mode. In order to prevent this be sure to upgrade oVirt Engine first, then on your hosts: 1. Remove the current lvm filter while still on 4.4.1, or in emergency mode (if rebooted). 2. Reboot. 3. Upgrade to 4.4.6 (redeploy in case of already being on 4.4.6). 4. Run vdsm-tool config-lvm-filter to confirm there is a new filter in place. 5. Only if not using oVirt Node: - run "dracut --force --add multipath” to rebuild initramfs with the correct filter configuration 6. Reboot. Documentation - If you want to try oVirt as quickly as possible, follow the instructions on the Download <https://ovirt.org/download/> page. - For complete installation, administration, and usage instructions, see the oVirt Documentation <https://ovirt.org/documentation/>. - For upgrading from a previous version, see the oVirt Upgrade Guide <https://ovirt.org/documentation/upgrade_guide/>. - For a general overview of oVirt, see About oVirt <https://ovirt.org/community/about.html>. Important notes before you try it Please note this is a pre-release build. The oVirt Project makes no guarantees as to its suitability or usefulness. This pre-release must not be used in production.

Ovirt Node (iso) - OK to enable Centos-BaseOS/Centos-Appstream repos ?
by morgan cox 25 Mar '21

25 Mar '21

Hi. I have installed Ovirt nodes via the ovirt-node iso (centos8 based) - on a fresh install the standard CentOS repos are disabled (the ovirt 4-4 repo is enabled) As part of our company hardening we need to install a few packages from the Centos repos. Can I enable the CentOS-Linux-AppStream.repo + CentOS-Linux-BaseOS.repo repos or will this cause issues when we update the node ? Thanks

So I'm thinking it's resource exhaustion or a leak of some kind? Running 4.2.8.2 with VDSM at 4.20.46. I've had a look through the bugzilla and can't find an exact match, closest was this one https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1666123 which seems to be a RHV only fix. Thanks, Alan

The best HCI config with 8Nodes and 2 sites?
by Arman Khalatyan 23 Mar '21

23 Mar '21

Hello everybody, I would like to deploy HCI with our 2 buildings each with 8 compute nodes. Each host has a mirrored OS disks and 1 slot for the SSD. So I will use SSD for the glusterfs. my question is what is the best type of the glusterfs volume? I can leave with 8way mirror but what happened if the connection between buildings will go down? where will my ovirt-engine start?

user portal
by Enrico Becchetti 23 Mar '21

23 Mar '21

Dear all, I'm using ovirt 4.3.2 with its engine on a virtual machine. The nodes are all Centos 7.7. Both engine and hypervisor systems work on a 10.0.0.0 private network. Now I would like to let users access the ovirt web page (user portal) and for this I must necessarily add a second network interface to the engine by inserting a public ip. I can't use NAT. Can you give me any advice for this operation ? Can I add the network interface and then run engine-setup ? Will oVirt be accessible from both ip addresses at the end of this operation ? Lots of thanks.

Hello I want to install oVirt virtualization software on my ArchLinux as a lab for learning and experimenting. I'm having trouble going through the documentation because I don't understand how the different pieces fit together. Specifically, what are the roles of the oVirt Node, oVirt Host and oVirt Engine?

No option to remove OpenStack Glance storage domain.
by Gary Taylor 22 Mar '21

22 Mar '21

Hi, I was playing around a few months ago and added an ovirt-image-repository storage domain. There wasn't a real purpose for doing it, just trying to learn and play around. I tried to remove it earlier but couldn't figure out how because the Remove button is greyed out. I got busy and forgot about it. I am trying to clean it up now but the Remove button is still greyed out for that domain. How do I get rid of it now? It isn't being used. It's unattached. I'm the admin. https://imgur.com/KBKUu16.png oVirt Open Virtualization Manager Software Version:4.4.4.7-1.el8 Thank-you, Gary

Re: oVirt process that writes to Gluster mount

Well, I'll be -- you're absolutely right, and I'm a bit embarrassed I didn't consider that before. The node that's not healing shows connections from 2 FUSE clients, which I expect, and 3 glustershd, which I also expect. [root@gluster1 ~]# gluster volume status ssd-san client-list Client connections for volume ssd-san Name count ----- ------ glustershd 3 fuse 2 total clients for volume ssd-san : 5 ----------------------------------------------------------------- But the secondary node, which is constantly healing, *shows that it's missing a FUSE connection*: [root@gluster2 ~]# gluster volume status ssd-san client-list Client connections for volume ssd-san Name count ----- ------ glustershd 3 fuse 1 total clients for volume ssd-san : 4 ----------------------------------------------------------------- I had to restart the glusterd service on node 2 twice before the FUSE client reconnected and stayed connected.

oVirt process that writes to Gluster mount
by Ben 22 Mar '21

22 Mar '21

Hi, I could use some help with a problem I'm having with the Gluster storage servers I use in my oVirt data center. I first noticed the problem when files would constantly heal after rebooting one of the Gluster nodes -- in the replica 2/arbiter, the node that remained online and the arbiter would begin healing files and never finish. I raised the issue with the helpful folks over at Gluster: https://github.com/gluster/glusterfs/issues/2226 The short version is this: after running a tcpdump and noticing malformed RPC calls to Gluster from one of my oVirt nodes, they're looking for a stack trace of whatever process is running I/O on the Gluster cluster from oVirt in order to figure out what it's doing and if the write problems could cause the indefinite healing I'm seeing. After checking the qemu PIDs, it doesn't look like they are actually performing the writes -- is there a particular part of the oVirt stack I can look at to find the write operations to Gluster? I don't see anything else doing read/write on the VM image files on the Gluster mount, but I could be missing something. NB: I'm using a traditional Gluster setup with the FUSE client, not hyperconverged. Thanks in advance for any assistance.

virbr0 down in oVirt node 4.4, cannot connect to console
by jenia.ivlev＠gmail.com 21 Mar '21

21 Mar '21

Hello. I'm trying to deploy a oVirt instance on my computer in a virtual machine. I started off by installing into a VM the oVirt Node 4.4 and I expected to be able to login into the web console from my browser at 192.168.122.1:9090. But instead what I realized is that inside the oVirt Node, the virbr0 interface 192.168.122.1 is down: https://photos.app.goo.gl/gARdRKdfvwDALtEC8 When I tried to bridge the virbr0 interface back up, it says "failed to access /etc/resolve.conf: No such file or directory": https://photos.app.goo.gl/epVqSjPsrN41ZVCZ8 What did I do wrong? Thanks

What would be the process to restore master host.
by miguel.garcia＠toshibagcs.com 20 Mar '21

20 Mar '21

We have a cluster with one master and 3 ovirt-nodes and the master server got the hard disk fried however the vms are still running and working in shape. We have concerns if restore master by reinstall OS and restore from latest ovirt backup would be enough or if we had to resintall ovirt cluster from scratch along with each node. Thanks in advance for your input.

Networking
by Jason Alexander Hazen Valliant-Saunders 19 Mar '21

19 Mar '21

I'm trying to create vlans to mirror my vlans on my external switch. is there a simple way to simply define a port trunk and have ovirt engine pass the traffic on? In VMWare; this can be accomplished by nic teaming/trunking (802.3 ad) and then pass the traffic to the switch. From what I have read in oVirt I need to define ovs switches first; I'd like to simply pass L2 to the switch directly. Regards, Hazen

Host Add - Host not found check DNS or /etc/hosts

Fresh install CentOS8 Streams. Gluster wizard runs and deploys. Engine installs on node. I copy over /etc/hosts for primary site resources to ovirt engine so it can find primary cluster nodes without DNS being booted / up at that time. I check ovirt engine can ssh to the three nodes... so as root I generate SSH key and do ssh-copy-id to all three nodes. So as much as I can validate communication is working.. i have. When I "add host" -> use FDN -> input root password But it shows up in GUI host list with "install fails" Only message is : [root@ovirt01 ~]# cat /var/log/ovirt-engine/ansible-runner-service.log 2021-03-18 09:44:15,998 - runner_service.controllers.hosts - DEBUG - Adding host odin.penguinpages.local to group ovirt 2021-03-18 09:44:16,344 - runner_service.services.hosts - ERROR - SSH - NOCONN:SSH error - 'odin.penguinpages.local' not found; check DNS or /etc/hosts 2021-03-18 10:07:15,970 - root - INFO - Analysing local configuration options from /etc/ansible-runner-service/config.yaml 2021-03-18 10:07:15,975 - root - INFO - - setting playbooks_root_dir to /usr/share/ovirt-engine/ansible-runner-service-project 2021-03-18 10:07:15,975 - root - INFO - - setting ssh_private_key to /etc/pki/ovirt-engine/keys/engine_id_rsa 2021-03-18 10:07:15,975 - root - INFO - - setting port to 50001 2021-03-18 10:07:15,975 - root - INFO - - setting target_user to root 2021-03-18 10:07:15,975 - root - INFO - - setting log_path to /var/log/ovirt-engine 2021-03-18 10:07:15,975 - root - INFO - Analysing runtime overrides from environment variables 2021-03-18 10:07:15,975 - root - INFO - No configuration settings overridden 2021-03-18 10:07:15,995 - root - INFO - Loaded logging configuration from /etc/ansible-runner-service/logging.yaml 2021-03-18 10:07:16,004 - runner_service.controllers.hosts - DEBUG - Request received, content-type :None 2021-03-18 10:07:16,005 - runner_service.controllers.hosts - INFO - 127.0.0.1 - GET /api/v1/hosts/thor.penguinpages.local 2021-03-18 10:07:16,013 - runner_service.controllers.hosts - DEBUG - Request received, content-type :application/json; charset=UTF-8 2021-03-18 10:07:16,013 - runner_service.controllers.hosts - INFO - 127.0.0.1 - POST /api/v1/hosts/thor.penguinpages.local/groups/ovirt 2021-03-18 10:07:16,013 - runner_service.controllers.hosts - DEBUG - additional args received 2021-03-18 10:07:16,014 - runner_service.controllers.hosts - DEBUG - Adding host thor.penguinpages.local to group ovirt 2021-03-18 10:07:16,339 - runner_service.services.hosts - ERROR - SSH - NOCONN:SSH error - 'thor.penguinpages.local' not found; check DNS or /etc/hosts 2021-03-18 10:07:38,333 - runner_service.controllers.hosts - DEBUG - Request received, content-type :None 2021-03-18 10:07:38,334 - runner_service.controllers.hosts - INFO - 127.0.0.1 - GET /api/v1/hosts/thor.penguinpages.local 2021-03-18 10:07:38,339 - runner_service.controllers.hosts - DEBUG - Request received, content-type :application/json; charset=UTF-8 2021-03-18 10:07:38,339 - runner_service.controllers.hosts - INFO - 127.0.0.1 - POST /api/v1/hosts/thor.penguinpages.local/groups/ovirt 2021-03-18 10:07:38,339 - runner_service.controllers.hosts - DEBUG - additional args received 2021-03-18 10:07:38,340 - runner_service.controllers.hosts - DEBUG - Adding host thor.penguinpages.local to group ovirt 2021-03-18 10:07:38,713 - runner_service.services.hosts - ERROR - SSH - NOCONN:SSH error - 'thor.penguinpages.local' not found; check DNS or /etc/hosts But ssh is fine to all hosts works fine.

Quick Question: Degraded Gluster
by Christian Reiss 18 Mar '21

18 Mar '21

Hey folks, quick question: I have a 3 node cluster (HC) in a production environment. I recently swapped all the storage SSDs with bigger enterprise grades SSDs. So I took a host down (migrating all VMs away, maintenance, shutdown, fix raid, gluster repair, back online). This worked well and all three nodes are now hardware-wise replaced. The last one is still gluster-healing (roughly 20% done). The other two nodes are happily serving the vms while the third one is still in maintenance. my question is: Can I online the maintenance node while gluster is still healing? Or will will open up a can of worms I would not like? It would be cool having all three nodes back online soon while the gluster is still repairing. We have no urge tho. If there is a risk I would wait. If this is somewhat risk-free and do-able why not :) -- with kind regards, mit freundlichen Gruessen, Christian Reiss

oVirt 4.4.5 is now generally available
by Lev Veyde 18 Mar '21

18 Mar '21

oVirt 4.4.5 is now generally available The oVirt project is excited to announce the general availability of oVirt 4.4.5 , as of March 18th, 2021. This release unleashes an altogether more powerful and flexible open source virtualization solution that encompasses hundreds of individual changes and a wide range of enhancements across the engine, storage, network, user interface, and analytics, as compared to oVirt 4.3. Important notes before you install / upgrade Please note that oVirt 4.4 only supports clusters and data centers with compatibility version 4.2 and above. If clusters or data centers are running with an older compatibility version, you need to upgrade them to at least 4.2 (4.3 is recommended). Please note that in RHEL 8 / CentOS 8 several devices that worked on EL7 are no longer supported. For example, the megaraid_sas driver is removed. If you use Enterprise Linux 8 hosts you can try to provide the necessary drivers for the deprecated hardware using the DUD method (See the users’ mailing list thread on this at https://lists.ovirt.org/archives/list/users@ovirt.org/thread/NDSVUZSESOXEFJ… ) Documentation - If you want to try oVirt as quickly as possible, follow the instructions on the Download <https://ovirt.org/download/> page. - For complete installation, administration, and usage instructions, see the oVirt Documentation <https://ovirt.org/documentation/>. - For upgrading from a previous version, see the oVirt Upgrade Guide <https://ovirt.org/documentation/upgrade_guide/>. - For a general overview of oVirt, see About oVirt <https://ovirt.org/community/about.html>.

4.4.5 released? Fails to upgrade
by Rik Theys 18 Mar '21

18 Mar '21

Hi, My systems pulled in 4.4.5 packages last night, so I assume oVirt 4.4.5 was released? The release notes page does not list the release and I also did not see any announcement. The packages are 4.4.5.10-1.el8. I ran an engine-setup and upgraded to this release but the upgrade has failed due to a failure to update the database schema and it seems the rollback was not successful as my instance failed to start afterwards. I've downgraded all packages and ran engine-setup --offline, which seems to at least bring back my engine to a working state. I'm confused: has 4.4.5 been released or did I pull in some intermediate version with known issues? Regards, Rik -- Rik Theys System Engineer KU Leuven - Dept. Elektrotechniek (ESAT) Kasteelpark Arenberg 10 bus 2440 - B-3001 Leuven-Heverlee +32(0)16/32.11.07 ---------------------------------------------------------------- <<Any errors in spelling, tact or fact are transmission errors>>

Access to the internet from oVirt VMs
by unityresearcher＠alterpost.org 16 Mar '21

16 Mar '21

Hi to all ✋😉 I've stacked with ovirt's vm network routing Infrastructure: 1. stansalone ovirt engine (hetzner cloud vm) 2. ovirt node (hetzner robot, dedicated server) 3. hetzner private cloud network. Both Engine and Node are connected to private network. For node the network is built on external NIC's tagged VLAN https://docs.hetzner.com/robot/dedicated-server/network/vswitch/ 4. Also there is a pfsense router vm in private network So my purpose is to grant access to the internet from VM inside oVirt via pfSense. Additional info: 1. pfsense machine is pingable from oVirt VM 2. oVirt VM NIC – ovirtmgmt 3. pfsenses' NAT works fine for machines in hetzner cloud 4. Painful troubleshooting showed that something on ovirtmgmt bridge forbids to route traffic to another network 5. Internet access "from the box" doesn't work because ovirtmgmt works on VLAN interface, not at physical one itself. 6. In Ovirt's docs I've found the two ways of custom routing. The first one is about external network provider, that unacceptable for me because it doesn't support VLAN tagging (without it node's network can't get access to private cloud network). The second one is custom routing inside a node that doesn't work for me as well by unknown reason What I do wrong? What are the best practices in oVirt network when we talking about internet access from oVirt's VMs? Thx 😉

Reset NVRAM
by Shantur Rathore 15 Mar '21

15 Mar '21

Hi all, I am doing some testing with GPU passthrough to VMs and in some cases the OVMF stops booting after a GPU passthrough. I have figured out that it's related to some state stored in NVRAM by OVMF and as soon as I create another VM with the same disks it starts booting up. I believe oVirt saves the NVRAM state. Is there a way to clear NVRAM for a VM without deleting it? Regards, Shantur

4.4.5 Release timeline
by David White 15 Mar '21

15 Mar '21

Hello, Reviewing https://ovirt.org/release/4.4.5/, I see that the target release date was set to March 9. However, glancing at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=ALL%20target_milestone%…, I see a number of outstanding open tickets. Do the maintainers anticipate that 4.4.5 will be released soon? I'm trying to decide if I should wait for 4.4.5 to be released, or if I should go with 4.4.4, as I am getting ready to do a fresh install for a 3-node hyperconverged cluster, and need to begin setting up VMs and configuring things very soon.

RHV is allocating more space than it should
by Łukasz Kołaciński 15 Mar '21

Hello, I have a question about restoring virtual machines. Why is ovirt/rhv allocating ~10% more space than it should. For example, we have a 10 GB disk, and after restore the size is 11 GB.

doubt about CentOS 8.3 hypervisor and ansible version

Unsure where to post this
by Jason Alexander Hazen Valliant-Saunders 14 Mar '21

14 Mar '21

Hello Ovirt Users; I'm attempting to Deploy Ovirt-engine and having a rough go of it with 4.4.4 I've installed oVirt 4.4.4 onto a USB key (64GB) on an HP DL 380 G8, Storage is via NFS and Free NAS (30TB) over 10GB Ethernet (Chelsio) - I had to install drivers using these commands: Chelsio T320 10GB/s Card Mods 1. rpm --import https://www.elrepo.org/RPM-GPG-KEY-elrepo.org 2. yum install https://www.elrepo.org/elrepo-release-8.el8.elrepo.noarch.rpm 3. yum install kmod-cxgb3 for some reason I've had services failing on my Newly installed Ovirt Node The oVirt Imiage IO Deamon refuses to start: I believe this is the reason I cannot run "hosted-engine --deploy" (fails towards the end) For a bit it was the VSDM service now it's the image IO Deamon. intuition tells me that maybe Ovirt does not play well with Chelsio 10GB cards?? As always any help is appreciated. Regards, Hazen

Gluster volume engine stuck in healing with 1 unsynched entry & HostedEngine paused
by souvaliotimaria＠mail.com 11 Mar '21

11 Mar '21

Hello everyone, Any help would be greatly appreciated in the following problem. In my lab, the day before yesterday, we had power issues, with a UPS going off-line and following the power outage of the NFS/DNS server I have set up to serve ovirt with isos and as a DNS server (our other DNS servers are located as VMs within the oVirt environment). We found a broadcast storm on the switch (due to a faulty NIC on the aformentioned UPS) that the ovirt nodes are connected and later on had to re-establish several of the virtual connections as well. The above led to one of the hosts becoming NonResponsive, two machines becoming unresponsive and three VMs shuting down. The oVirt environment, version 4.3.5.2, is a replica 2 + arbiter 1 environment and runs GlusterFS with the recommended volumes of data, engine and vmstore. So far, the times there was some kind of a problem, usually oVirt was able to solve it by its own. This time, however, after we recovered from the above state, the volumes of data and vmstore successfully healing , the volume engine became stuck to the healing process (Up, unsynched entries, needs healing), and from the web GUI I see that the VM HostedEngine is paused due to a storage I/O error while the output of virsh list --all command shows that the HostedEngine is running.. How is that happening? I tried to manually trigger the healing process for the volume but nothing with gluster volume heal engine The command gluster volume heal engine info shows the following [root@ov-no3 ~]# gluster volume heal engine info Brick ov-no1.ariadne-t.local:/gluster_bricks/engine/engine Status: Connected Number of entries: 0 Brick ov-no2.ariadne-t.local:/gluster_bricks/engine/engine /80f6e393-9718-4738-a14a-64cf43c3d8c2/images/d5de54b6-9f8e-4fba-819b-ebf6780757d2/a48555f4-be23-4467-8a54-400ae7baf9d7 Status: Connected Number of entries: 1 Brick ov-no3.ariadne-t.local:/gluster_bricks/engine/engine /80f6e393-9718-4738-a14a-64cf43c3d8c2/images/d5de54b6-9f8e-4fba-819b-ebf6780757d2/a48555f4-be23-4467-8a54-400ae7baf9d7 Status: Connected Number of entries: 1 This morning I came upon this Reddit post https://www.reddit.com/r/gluster/comments/fl3yb7/entries_stuck_in_heal_pend… where it seems that after a graceful reboot one of the ovirt hosts, the gluster came back online after it completed the appropriate healing processes. The thing is from what I have read that when there are unsynched entries in the gluster a host cannot be put into maintenance mode so that it can be rebooted, correct? Should I try to restart the glusterd service. Could someone tell me what I should do? Thank you all for your time and help, Maria Souvalioti

11 Mar '21

Hi, When trying to pin a VM CPU's to Physical CPU's, I'm getting this error in case the number of physical CPU slots are > 35 (e.g. 40): Error attempting to pin CPUs. Full error: Fault reason is "Operation Failed". Fault detail is "[size must be between 0 and 4000, Attribute: vmStatic.cpuPinning]". HTTP response code is "400". HTTP response message is "Bad Request". It is working for me up to 35 physical CPU's. but above it, I get that error. Can you please tell what this error means and how to overcome it? Version we are using is: 4.3.6.6-1.0.9.el7 Thanks, Lavi

How to replace a failed oVirt Hyperconverged Host
by Ramon Sierra 10 Mar '21

10 Mar '21

Hi, We have a three hosts hyperconverged ovirt setup. A few weeks ago one of the hosts failed and we lost a RAID5 array on it. We removed it from the cluster and repaired. We are trying to setup and add it back to the cluster but we are not clear on how to proceed. There is a replica 2 with 1 arbiter Gluster setup on the cluster and I have no idea on how to recreate the LVM partitions, gluster bricks, and then add it to the cluster in order to start the healing process. Any help on how to proceed with this scenario will be very welcome. Ramon

oVirt 4.3.6 and Security Measures
by scroodj＠gmail.com 10 Mar '21

10 Mar '21

Hello team, Due to security policy in the our customer`s company there is need to implement some changes into machines in their oVirt cluster (Standalone Engine + 2 KVM Host). 1. The home drives of user sanlock (/var/run/sanlock) and gluster (/run/gluster) have permission of 775. We would like to have them at least 755 if not stricter. Is that possible? 2. NFS mount of storage has ‘nodev’ and ‘nosuid’ disabled. Is it safe to use those options for NFS Storage doamin? 3. Usually bridged routing is not allowed on managed servers. Security scan asks us to set the following four parameters to 0 Network Parameter "net.ipv4.conf.all.send_redirects" = 1 (expected: 0) Network Parameter "net.ipv4.conf.all.secure_redirects" = 1 (expected: 0) Network Parameter "net.ipv6.conf.all.accept_redirects" = 1 (expected: 0) Network Parameter "net.ipv4.conf.all.accept_redirects" = 1 (expected: 0) Would changing them interfere with ovirtmgmt network? Those are valid for all three machines in the cluster. On the engine though there is httpd installed now and we have some findings there too: 1. There are modules installed that are on a blacklist. Can they be removed? The modules are: mod_dav_lock mod_userdir mod_include mod_dav_fs mod_autoindex mod_dav mod_info 2. HTTP traces should be blocked so we would set “TraceEnable” to off in virtual host config. If HTTP traces are needed we would have to limit the verbs that are allowed. 3. Apache version information should be turned off to not inform potential attackers of which web server is running. Is that a problem for oVirt? 4. TLSv1.0 and TLSv1.1 are enabled but should be turned off. 5. HSTS should be turned on but is not yet. 6. Can we use X-Frame-Options header to append X-Frame-Options DENY (or SAEMORIGIN or at least ALLOW-FROM)? 7. Can we implement the X-Content-Type-Options HTTP header with “nosniff”? 8. Can we implement the X-XSS-Protection header with “1; mode=block”? I know, this is quite a bit. But maybe you know the answers. BR Aleksandr

engine - gluster volume import
by penguin pages 10 Mar '21

10 Mar '21

I keep going through cycles to get a HCI cluster to deploy. Gluster is working fine. Standard from HCI wizard: Brick thorst.penguinpages.local:/gluster_br icks/vmstore/vmstore 49154 0 Y 40968 Brick odinst.penguinpages.local:/gluster_br icks/vmstore/vmstore 49157 0 Y 3771 Brick medusast.penguinpages.local:/gluster_ bricks/vmstore/vmstore 49154 0 Y 5138 Self-heal Daemon on localhost N/A N/A Y 41172 Self-heal Daemon on medusast.penguinpages.l ocal N/A N/A Y 5150 Self-heal Daemon on odinst.penguinpages.loc al N/A N/A Y 3142 What I think happens when the engine is installed "on existing disk" is that it does not install components for gluster needed to present those to be deployed upon by gluster. What is this service / install / means to get the engine to "add" gluster volumes? Ex: When I click -> Storage -> (no volumes listed) -> New volume -> <empty>.... all drops downs are blank and cannot be populated.

Commvault
by Colin Coe 10 Mar '21

10 Mar '21

Hi all My workplace is considering replacing Arcserve (which has been terrible) with Commvault. Our virtualisation is a mix of about 95% RHV and 5% HyperV. We have a handful of physical servers, a 50/50 mix of Windows and RHEL. We run dual hot data centers, and want to backup locally (disk to disk) then replicate to the other data center. Cloud is off the table. Anyone have any experience with Commvault? War stories? Happy to be pointed at other alternatives. Thanks

Strange Glitches with VM and Network (oVirt 4.4.4.7-1.el8)
by Andrei Verovski 10 Mar '21

10 Mar '21

Hi, I’m running oVirt 4.4.4.7-1.el8 and need to connect one of the VMs straight to the ISP link via Ethernet cable. oVirt already have 2 networks (ovirt mgmt local + DMZ). Created new network provider and assigned to it available physical interface of HP ProLiant, connected via cable to ISP switch with public IP. Options of this network: (VM Network = on, Port Isolation = off, NIC Type = VirtIO, the rest are defaults). VM is Debian 10. Link works but with strange artefacts. If VM left being idle for a while, it cant be connected or pinged from outside, until I initiate pings from VM itself. I have only 2 IPs from this ISP so I’m sure there are no IP address conflicts. Another port and public IP go to our VyOS router handling internal and DMZ zone. How to fix this problem ? Thanks in advance. Andrei

which functionality replaces vdsm-hook-vmdisk in ovirt 4.4 / CentOS 8 (and is it really deprecated?)
by Andrejs Baulins 09 Mar '21

09 Mar '21

Hi there! I'm a newbie, so don't blame me fast :) I have few questions related to Hypervisor's local disk passthrough to VM strategies Preamble: we found vmdisk hook most comfortable way to use as a "gate to local storage functionality" in shared clusters. Let's assume, You have A. 2 or 4 TB large SSD, which You need to split on different usages: some diskspace provide for SQL / ETCd / Mongod etc. It must be fast, so no network in between. You have only one physical disk, so you can't passthrough whole of it to single VM. So you make LVM, and passthrough LVMs using vmdisk - this is how we did on some setups. B. 2 or 4 TB HDD for gluster bricks. At the end, You have few VMs, which "dies" together with Hypervisor, but most of VMs can live migration. In together with L7 application level fail-over, it can lead to non-critical level services level cluster, which is not so hard to throw in maintenance Yes, it does not work at real device speeds: simple dd operation with unpartitioned block device performs 3-4 times slower in VM, than on hypervisor. But, ability to mix workloads (migratable VMS with non migratable) within small cluster of hypervisors is more important, at some setups. So, there are questions coming... 1. As far as I understand, there is possibility to replace vmdisk-hook vith cmdline. But I didn't found a way, how to get it working. I always ended with "Could not open '/dev/***': No such file or directory." which I could not avoid anyhow. May be, someone can point me to an article or other thread, where there are clues, how to do that? 2. what's the story behind vmdisk hook? As far as I understand from https://github.com/oVirt/vdsm/blob/master/vdsm.spec.in its deprecated? Why? It is replaced with some functionality? Why did VDSM's hook repo been deleted from github (in order to avoid confuse?)? 3. Is it possible to achieve with any hook or some other instrument near hypervisor's performance of local disk? We are ready for inconveniences like custom setup handling / patches and so on Thanks in advance! It worked in 4.3.10 / CentOS 7, but the

oVirt 4.3.9 readonly filesystem on multi path link failure
by alexio79＠gmail.com 09 Mar '21

09 Mar '21

Hello everyone, I have a cluster with 4 oVirt Node and a self hosted engine, fiber channel storage for storage volumes and for boot in san of oVirt Node itself (nodes doesn't have physical disks but boots from SAN). We made a software update of SAN storage and one of the multi path links went down for some seconds before coming up again. No issues with VMs but oVirt Node marked as readonly a couple of mount points: /dev/mapper/onn-var on /var type ext4 (ro,relatime,seclabel,discard,stripe=16,data=ordered) /dev/mapper/onn-var_log on /var/log type ext4 (ro,relatime,seclabel,discard,stripe=16,data=ordered) Every other mount point was r/w but not /var... We had to reboot every single node to restore r/w mounts.

Public IP routing question
by David White 09 Mar '21

09 Mar '21

If I have a private network (10.1.0.0/24) that is being used by the cluster for intra-host communication & replication, how do I get a block of public IP addresses routed to the virtual cluster? For example, let's say I have a public /28, and let's use 1.1.1.0/28 for example purposes. I'll assign 1.1.1.1 to the router. How can I then route 1.1.1.2 - 1.1.1.16 down to the virtualized oVirt cluster? Do I need to assign a public IP address to a 2nd physical NIC on each host, and put that network onto a totally different physical switch? Or should I instead setup default routes on the 10.1.0.0/24 network? I also wanted to follow up on my question below to see if anyone had any thoughts on how things would function when a portion of the network is lost.

HCI Fresh Deploy - Cannot upgrade 4.4. to 4.5 or add more hosts
by penguin pages 08 Mar '21

08 Mar '21

I reinstalled OS all nodes CentoOS 8 streams. installed cockpit engine and ran through HCI deploy wizard with gluster. this deployed 4.4 version of engine.. then said 4.5 version available. I try to add hosts and get error "Error while executing action: Server thor.penguinpages.local is already part of another cluster." (or other node). I ssh into ovirt engine host and attempt to ssh from that host to three nodes of HCI cluster and it works fine. I added ssh keys for passwordless login but no change I change cluster then datacenter to 4.5. Then attempt to run upgrade but get same error. Seems like chicken / egg issue. I can't get nodes. I can't upgrade 4.4. to 4.5 because I have no nodes to allow maintenance mode. And engine shows "no updates" needed [root@ovirte01 ~]# yum update Last metadata expiration check: 1:39:16 ago on Mon 08 Mar 2021 08:36:40 AM EST. Dependencies resolved. Nothing to do. Complete! Suggestions?

Hello there, I wonder whats the right approach to get security updates for ovirt nodes? (installed using ovirt node iso image) Eg.: 'sudo' package has a know vulnerability until version sudo-1.8.23-9.el7.x86_64. When trying to update this package on a ovirt node, it would not. Checking versionlock, I confirmed it is listed there: # grep sudo /etc/yum/pluginconf.d/versionlock.list 0:libsss_sudo-1.16.4-37.el7_8.3.x86_64 0:sudo-1.8.23-9.el7.x86_64 Regards,

Platform has 10Hosts with 3Hosts as Hosts for HA. Before upgrade, all three Hosts were acknowledged Hosts for HE (little happy crown). Pre upgrade: Host1 – HE available host Host2 – HE current host Host3 – HE available host Upgraded first HE to 4.3.10, than started with HE Hosts – post upgrade of Host2, the crown disappeared and did not show up. This happens sometimes, and I usually reinstall the host, than execute HE UNDEPLOY and DEPLOY, which fixes the state. However, this time, after such actions, the server is still not an acknowledged HE host – no crown. However, if I try to remove it, oVIrt says that looks like HE is deploy on it and need to be removed, but command “hosted-engine –vm-status” says you must deploy first. I removed the Host, reinstalled the OS on it, deployed it again as new, synced all networks, than deploy once more with HE Deploy, still same issue.

4.4.4 Image Copying / Template Create Fails - No Such File
by Alex McWhirter 08 Mar '21

08 Mar '21

I've been wrestling with this all night, digging through various bits of VDSM code trying to figure why and how this is happening. I need to make some templates, but i simply can't. VDSM <host> command HSMGetAllTasksStatusesVDS failed: value=low level Image copy failed: ("Command ['/usr/bin/qemu-img', 'convert', '-p', '-t', 'none', '-T', 'none', '-f', 'raw', '-O', 'raw', '/rhev/data-center/mnt/glusterSD/<gluster>:_Temp/45740f16-b3c9-4bb5-ba5f-3e64657fb663/images/6f87b073-c4ec-42f2-87da-d1cb6a08a150/f2dfb779-b49c-4ec9-86cd-741f3fe5b781', '/rhev/data-center/mnt/glusterSD/<gluster>:_Temp/45740f16-b3c9-4bb5-ba5f-3e64657fb663/images/84e56da6-8c26-4518-80a4-20bc395214db/039c5ada-ad6d-45c0-8393-bd4db0bbc366'] failed with rc=1 out=b'' err=bytearray(b'qemu-img: error while writing at byte 738197504: No such file or directory\\n')",) abortedcode=261 3/7/21 5:44:44 AM Following the VDSM logs, i can see the new image gets created, permissions set, etc... but as soon qemu-img starts, it fails like this. I updated all hosts and the engine, rebooted the entire stack, to no avail. So i detached the storage domain, and wiped every host and fresh installed both engine and all nodes, imported the storage domain, and still no dice. Storage domain is gluster volume, single node, created in ovirt. It happens when i make a template, copy an image, or make a new vm from a template. I can still create new vms from blank, and upload images via the web ui. Watching the gluster share, i can see the image being created, but its deleted at some point. I appears to not be being deleted by the template / copying process, as immediately after the above error, i get this one. VDSM command DeleteImageGroupVDS failed: Image does not exist in domain: 'image=4f359545-01a8-439b-832b-18c26194b066, domain=b4507449-ac40-4e35-be66-56441bb696ac' 3/7/21 5:44:44 AM I thought maybe garbage collection, but don't see any indication of that in the logs. Any ideas? I redacted host names from the log output.

Which Operating System to choose
by sinan＠turka.nl 07 Mar '21

07 Mar '21

I want to set up a small cluster consisting of 2 Hypervisor nodes (self-hosted engine) with shared storage (SAN, ISCSI). According to https://www.ovirt.org/download/ the following Operating Systems are supported with the latest oVirt version (4.4.4): - Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.3 - CentOS Linux 8.3 - CentOS Stream (Tech Preview) My doubts are: - RHEL 8.3 is free to use up tp 16 hosts, but until when? Red Hat can decide at anytime to change their subscription program. - CentOS Linux is no more, support will stop at the end of 2021. - CentOS Stream is in Tech Preview. I don't like running production environments on "tech preview / beta" versions. I would say CentOS 7, it will receive maintenance updates up to 2024, and switch to RHEL in 2024 if the free-to-use program is still active. Unfortunately, CentOS 7 seems not to be supported. On what Operating System are you running oVirt 4.4.4 and why? Any feedback and advice is welcome. Thanks!

Cold Move VM Storage failing
by dmmailing010203＠gmail.com 07 Mar '21

07 Mar '21

Morning oVirt. I've rebuilt my oVirt environment and I'm currently on 4.4.5.8-1.el8. I have storage presented via NFS. I'm unable to move / copy VM disks when powered off. However I can Live migrate the disks when powered on. I have three storage domains presented and this is repeated across all three no matter where the storage is located. The disks are thin provisioned. I've tried deactivating and detaching the disk and it's the same NullPointerException error. 2021-03-06 15:13:17,010Z ERROR [org.ovirt.engine.core.bll.storage.disk.image.CopyDataCommand] (EE-ManagedScheduledExecutorService-engineScheduledThreadPool-Thread-84) [af63add0-0ef3-4049-8461-b564abedba02] Command 'org.ovirt.engine.core.bll.storage.disk.image.CopyDataCommand' failed: null 2021-03-06 15:13:17,010Z ERROR [org.ovirt.engine.core.bll.storage.disk.image.CopyDataCommand] (EE-ManagedScheduledExecutorService-engineScheduledThreadPool-Thread-84) [af63add0-0ef3-4049-8461-b564abedba02] Exception: java.lang.NullPointerException Engine log with stack trace is at https://textuploader.com/1820f Vdsm log is at https://textuploader.com/1820z I'm just checking I've not missed something obvious before raising a bug if neccessary

Gluster version upgrades
by Sketch 07 Mar '21

07 Mar '21

Is the gluster version on an oVirt host tied to the oVirt version, or would it be safe to upgrade to newer versions of gluster? I have noticed gluster is often updated to new major versions on oVirt point release upgrades. We have some compute+storage hosts on 4.3.6 which can't be upgraded easily at the moment, but we are having some gluster issues that appear to be due to bugs that I wonder if upgrading might help. Would an in-place upgrade of gluster be a bad idea without also updating oVirt?

Removed FC LUN causes multipath to spam syslog
by Juhani Rautiainen 06 Mar '21

06 Mar '21

Hi! We are running ovirt 4.3.10 and we are migrating from 3PAR to Dell SC. I've managed to transfer disks from one LUN away and removed it (put it in maintenanced, detached it and removed it). Now multipath seems to spam the logs for missing disks. How can I stop this? Mar 5 09:58:58 ovirt01 multipathd: 360002ac00000000000000272000057b9: sdr - tur checker reports path is down Mar 5 09:58:59 ovirt01 multipathd: 360002ac00000000000000272000057b9: sdh - tur checker reports path is down And so on. Any idea how I can quiet this? And why didn't oVirt do this automatically? Thanks, Juhani

Create update and security plan
by Gilson Schmidt 04 Mar '21

04 Mar '21

Hi We have a large hypervisors park, and now we are starting to adopt oVirt. And I need an update and security plan for oVirt Nodes. I need to know: - What is the update cycle for oVirt? - How large companies treat the security of oVirt Node. What is the frequency of updates; Is an additional service enabled / installed on oVirt Node? Is SSH enabled maintained? What is the sysadmin access format? Currently on other hypervisors (Xen) using Vault, or we disable SSH on ESXi. How do large companies configure oVirt to comply with the needs passed on by the Security Team? Tks very much.

[ANN] oVirt 4.4.5 Eighth Release Candidate is now available for testing
by Lev Veyde 04 Mar '21

04 Mar '21

oVirt 4.4.5 Eighth Release Candidate is now available for testing The oVirt Project is pleased to announce the availability of oVirt 4.4.5 Eighth Release Candidate for testing, as of March 4th, 2021. This update is the fifth in a series of stabilization updates to the 4.4 series. How to prevent hosts entering emergency mode after upgrade from oVirt 4.4.1 Note: Upgrading from 4.4.2 GA or later should not require re-doing these steps, if already performed while upgrading from 4.4.1 to 4.4.2 GA. These are only required to be done once. Due to Bug 1837864 <https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1837864> - Host enter emergency mode after upgrading to latest build If you have your root file system on a multipath device on your hosts you should be aware that after upgrading from 4.4.1 to 4.4.5 you may get your host entering emergency mode. In order to prevent this be sure to upgrade oVirt Engine first, then on your hosts: 1. Remove the current lvm filter while still on 4.4.1, or in emergency mode (if rebooted). 2. Reboot. 3. Upgrade to 4.4.5 (redeploy in case of already being on 4.4.5). 4. Run vdsm-tool config-lvm-filter to confirm there is a new filter in place. 5. Only if not using oVirt Node: - run "dracut --force --add multipath” to rebuild initramfs with the correct filter configuration 6. Reboot. Documentation - If you want to try oVirt as quickly as possible, follow the instructions on the Download <https://ovirt.org/download/> page. - For complete installation, administration, and usage instructions, see the oVirt Documentation <https://ovirt.org/documentation/>. - For upgrading from a previous version, see the oVirt Upgrade Guide <https://ovirt.org/documentation/upgrade_guide/>. - For a general overview of oVirt, see About oVirt <https://ovirt.org/community/about.html>. Important notes before you try it Please note this is a pre-release build. The oVirt Project makes no guarantees as to its suitability or usefulness. This pre-release must not be used in production. Installation instructions For installation instructions and additional information please refer to: https://ovirt.org/documentation/ This release is available now on x86_64 architecture for: * Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.3 or newer * CentOS Linux (or similar) 8.3 or newer This release supports Hypervisor Hosts on x86_64 and ppc64le architectures for: * Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.3 or newer * CentOS Linux (or similar) 8.3 or newer * oVirt Node 4.4 based on CentOS Linux 8.3 (available for x86_64 only) See the release notes [1] for installation instructions and a list of new features and bugs fixed. Notes: - oVirt Appliance is already available for CentOS Linux 8 - oVirt Node NG is already available for CentOS Linux 8 - We found a few issues while testing on CentOS Stream so we are still basing oVirt 4.4.5 Node and Appliance on CentOS Linux.

What happens in loss of network scenarios?
by David White 04 Mar '21

04 Mar '21

I tested oVirt (4.3? I can't remember) last fall on a single host (hyperconverged). Now, I'm getting ready to deploy to a 3 physical node (possibly 4) hyperconverged cluster, and I guess I'll go ahead and go with 4.4. Although Red Hat's recent shift of CentOS 8 to the Stream model, as well as the announcement that RHV is going away makes me nervous. I really don't see any other virtualization software doing quite the same stuff as oVirt at the moment. One of my questions is around the back end out-of-band network for data replication. What happens if all 3 servers are healthy and the normal network is fine for serving traffic to the VM consumers, but the switching network for data replication goes down? Is it possible to configure oVirt to "fail over" to the front-end network?I'm also wondering if its possible to do away with a switch all together, and just link the physical hosts together directly (like a cross-over cable) for the data replication. I'm also wondering what would happen in the following scenario: - All 3 servers are healthy - The out-of-band data replication network is healthy - 1 or 2 of the servers suddenly lost network connectivity on the front-end network What then? Would everything just keep working, and network traffic be forced to go out the healthy interface(s) on the remaining hosts? Sent with ProtonMail Secure Email.

Cloud-init confusion
by Shantur Rathore 04 Mar '21

04 Mar '21

Hi Users, I am new to oVirt and having some confusion with cloud-init. I have a VM which supports Cloud Init and when I enable Cloud Init under Initial boot settings of VM, the cloud-init config disk isn't attached to the VM. If I use Run-Once and enable Cloud-Init the config disk is attached to the VM and works as expected. Is cloud-init only supposed to work with Run-Once or am I missing something? Thanks in advance.

Template backing disks on different storage
by Shantur Rathore 04 Mar '21

04 Mar '21

Hi Users, I am evaluating oVirt coming from a VMware background. I have a test cluster with 6 machines running oVirt Node providing compute + gluster services. There are 2 storage domains 1. Gluster backed 2. iSCSI SAN I use iSCSI SAN for the templates (backing disks) and would like to use Gluster storage domain for template instances. In VMware I could create a linked clone on one storage linked to a template on another. Is this possible with oVirt? via GUI or API? Thanks in advance, Shantur

node IPs can't be pingued on a fresh 4.4.4 installation
by Nathanaël Blanchet 04 Mar '21

04 Mar '21

Hello On a fresh installation of a 4.4.4 node, I configured network so as to get dhcp delivered IP for gluster and migration services. After IPs have been delivered, they can't be pingued and vms migrations fail. All work as expected once I reactivate each bridge with nmcli/nmtui... This bug is present on each new node installation. -- 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

Right Glusterfs Config on HA Server
by Marcel d'Heureuse 04 Mar '21

04 Mar '21

Hi Guys or Girls, I have a problem in a productive system. We use three Servers which have a Raid 5 with four Harddrives SATA 8 TB 7200 rpms. The Systems are interconnected for Glusterfs with 1 GB/s. The Network Load between all three servers are between 5 and 8 % of the network. The Glusterfs has a separate VLAN which complete isolated from other networks. Find attached a small drawing. On that server we rum as HA and there are 8 VMs installed. Most of the VMs working well but if there is high load on the system some of the VM can't write the Data in a "good" speed on the disks. The Glusterfs is configured as Replica on the Raid5 disk which is as Jbob in Glusterfs defined. If i take a look on the iostats i can see that the Harddisk have round 50 open connections some of the glusterfs and a lot of the vms. In side the VMs i can see long iowaiting times from 300 up to 600 ms. With is on case of a Posgresql database very long. Should we configure the Raid5 controller out that the controller only should 4 disks with 8 TB and Glusterfs should connect directly to the /dev/sd[b-e]? What do you think? Will SSD HDD will help on performance but the same config with Raid5 and Jbod could be the bigger problem. Thanks Marcel

Newly uploaded disk stuck in 'Finalizing Failure' status
by n.bouwhuis＠speakup.nl 03 Mar '21

03 Mar '21

Hey there, A few days ago, I tried to create a new template using one of the Ansible playbooks I frequently use. This time, the upload of the disk failed, possibly due to an unrelated error. The disk is now stuck in Ovirt. It has the status 'Finalizing Failure' and it's locked, thus I cannot remove it. Trying to unlock the disk with the 'unlock_entity.sh' helper utility does not help. The utility says it has completed it task successfully but the disk remains in this state. I decided to check the logs, and see that `engine.log` gets spammed with these lines every 10 seconds ``` 2021-03-03 09:05:38,335Z WARN [org.ovirt.engine.core.bll.storage.disk.image.TransferDiskImageCommand] (EE-ManagedScheduledExecutorService-engineScheduledThreadPool-Thread-45) [redacted] Failed to stop image transfer session. Ticket does not exist for image '[disk uuid]' ``` How can I force Ovirt to remove this disk? I presume the upload failure itself is a different error, possibly related to our setup. Hence this is not the topic of this thread. I just want to know how I can remove these disks. Thanks, Nick

SHE upgrade from 4.3 to 4.4 doubts
by Gianluca Cecchi 03 Mar '21

03 Mar '21

Hello, I would like to get some clarifications about the SHE environment upgrade from 4.3.10 to 4.4.4. Example scenario two hosts, both configured as HE hosts. Interested both in iSCSI environment and in FC environment. Going through here: https://www.ovirt.org/documentation/upgrade_guide/#Upgrading_the_Manager_to… I have some doubts: 1) general one between step 5 and 6 in section 4.4, actually the current 4.3 engine VM is still running its OS (even if with ovirt-engine service stopped) and the VM is running on the host you are going to scratch. So I think before scratching the host and reinstalling it (step 6), it should be clarified some step like - shutdown engine VM - shutdown host (is it ok in clean way or do I have to simply power off it....?) - install from scratch ovirt-ng node 4.4.4 on host 2) general one why in external engine upgrade guide it is not specified to stop ovirt-engine service before executing the backup, while in SHE it is specified? See steps on section 2.3 here: https://www.ovirt.org/documentation/upgrade_guide/#Upgrading_from_4-3 expected different behaviour? Or any change needed in the doc? 3) SHE when iSCSI and FC It is clear that one new domain is to be provided, intended for the new engine 4.4 VM It is clear that during install of the new host in 4.4 it is safe to have shared LUNs masked / not accessible so that you don't risk to corrupt current 4.3 data It is not clear in my opinion what to do before running the step 8 of 4.4 section: hosted-engine --deploy --restore-from-file=backup.bck a) iSCSI in general the configured iSCSI sessions are activated only when the host is being activated. So for example when you put host into maintenance, they are logged off. In this stage of upgrade what is expected I execute before running the hosted-engine --deploy command? Will the command log in into iSCSI sessions during itsmexecution (because of the restore) or do I have to create / log in the connections before running it? b) FC what should I have on host before running the command? Only the current LUns (+ the new one intended for new hosted engine VM) visible, so that I see all of them as output of "multipath -l" command and then the hosted-engine --deploy command would mount the related filesystems and so on..? Possibly it would be nice to have an example output of the hosted-engine --deploy --restore-from-file=backup.bck command inside the doc page.... to see its expected workflow Thanks for reading, Gianluca

Upgrade from 4.3.5 to 4.3.10 HE Host issue
by Vrgotic, Marko 03 Mar '21

03 Mar '21

Hi oVirt, Yesterday I upgraded one of my oVIrt platform from 4.3.5 to 4.3.10. Platform has 10Hosts with 3Hosts as Hosts for HA. Before upgrade, all three Hosts were acknowledged Hosts for HE (little happy crown). Pre upgrade: Host1 – HE available host Host2 – HE current host Host3 – HE available host Upgraded first HE to 4.3.10, than started with HE Hosts – post upgrade of Host2, the crown disappeared and did not show up. This happens sometimes, and I usually reinstall the host, than execute HE UNDEPLOY and DEPLOY, which fixes the state. However, this time, after such actions, the server is still not an acknowledged HE host – no crown. However, if I try to remove it, oVIrt says that looks like HE is deploy on it and need to be removed, but command “hosted-engine –vm-status” says you must deploy first. I removed the Host, reinstalled the OS on it, deployed it again as new, synced all networks, than deploy once more with HE Deploy, still same issue. Any suggestions? ----- kind regards/met vriendelijke groeten Marko Vrgotic Sr. System Engineer @ System Administration ActiveVideo o: +31 (35) 6774131 m: +31 (65) 5734174 e: m.vrgotic(a)activevideo.com<mailto:m.vrgotic@activevideo.com> w: www.activevideo.com<http://www.activevideo.com> ActiveVideo Networks BV.

How to enable nested virtualization
by miguel.garcia＠toshibagcs.com 02 Mar '21

02 Mar '21

Hi all, We are trying to run virtual box in a vm that is running over ovirt platform. I had followed the instruction to enable nested virtualization on host as described in this document https://ostechnix.com/how-to-enable-nested-virtualization-in-kvm-in-linux/ However I was not able to enable nested virtualization to the vm since nothing is listed from virsh console. Also tryed to edit vm configuration lookig up for "cpu mode" or "copy cpu configuration as host" Also from oVirt admin portal I had enabled host for nested virtualization through Compute > Host > selected Host > edit > Kernel Nested virtualization checked. But the host still returns: $ cat /sys/module/kvm_intel/parameters/nested N

kvm host becomes non operational after breaking a bonding interface
by LS CHENG 02 Mar '21

02 Mar '21

Hi I have created a couple of bonding interfaces in the administrator portal, due to some miss configuration I had to break the bond interfaces, what I observe is that after breaking the bonding interfaces the KVM host becomes non operational and it stays in such state unless I add the bonding interfaces back. Anyone have observed this behaviour? Thanks

2 Node oVirt Cluster
by justin.lamp96＠gmail.com 01 Mar '21

01 Mar '21

Hey there, I tried using oVirt for some time now and like to convert my main Proxmox Cluster (2 Nodes + RPI for Quorum) to oVirt. But I obvioulsy need three servers to do HA. Now I am asking myself: can't I just use the PI as an arbiter node for the Selfhosted-Engine on gluster? I tried running the playbook already, but it's always failing and even if the gluster deployment would go through, it would most likely fail aftwards, right? Before I waste too much energy and time into that, does anyone of you guys use a 2 node cluster? And no I can't add another node (energy + space + money)! Also I know with doing that I'm totally on my own etcetera Thanks!

oVirt4.1 add host error. can i upgrade from 4.1 to 4.4? without updating sequentially 4.1-4.2-4.3-4.4
by grig.4n＠gmail.com 01 Mar '21

01 Mar '21

HI! There is an oVirt 4.1 self-hosted engine cluster of two hosts and a storage connected via iscsi. When trying to add another host, it gives an error: "ERROR otopi.context context._executeMethod:151 Failed to execute stage 'Setup validation': Cannot locate vdsm package, possible cause is incorrect channels". Older hosts on Centos 7.5.1804, last on Centos 7.9.2009. Is it possible to go from 4.1 to 4.4 using the third host as the main one for the transfer?

Cant add vm network with vlan to bonded interface
by murat.celebi＠dbpro.com.tr 01 Mar '21

01 Mar '21

Hello, I am new to ovirt and try to migrate my companies vmware infra to ovirt. The Engine setup went fine without any problems. These are the steps which I am doing and having problems. 1. Prepare the KVM host by installing the RPM's. 2. Add the kvm host to the engine. Everything is working fine at this point. 3. I am creating a new Network for vm usage named VLAN10. And I am tagging the network with vlan id 10. 4. I am bonding two 25Gb/s interface's with balance-xor mode with the name bond1. 5. When I add the network VLAN10 to the bond1 interface I cant see the logical network assigned to the bond. After this step I am not able to delete the bond since I am getting errors when I try to delete the bond. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
