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!

Restored engine backup: The provided authorization grant for the auth code has expired.
by Nicolás 05 Aug '21

05 Aug '21

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?

Grafana oVirt 4.4.4 Node install - Grafana Monitoring Portal not available
by simon＠justconnect.ie 22 Jun '21

22 Jun '21

Having installed oVirt 4.4.4 HCI 3 node cluster, the Grafana 'Monitoring Portal' was not visible on the Default page. It appears that Grafana is installed but not configured. I have checked a 4.4.3 environment and it is installed and running, so is this a bug with 4.4.4.7-1.el8? Any help would be appreciated.

How to assign a server disk and nic profile via REST API?
by ovirt.org＠nevim.eu 02 May '21

02 May '21

Hello to everybody, for about an hour I have stuck my nose in the ovirt and rhev documentation, but I still can't understand how to use the REST API to change the disk profile and nothing the server profile. Ideally, how to set it for them when setting up a VM. Thank you so much for the advice.

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 19 Apr '21

19 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?

Two selfhosted engines
by wilrikvdvliert＠hotmail.com 19 Apr '21

19 Apr '21

Dear forum, If I understand correctly, I need shared storage for the self-hosted engine to make it highly available. But is it possible to create 2 self-hosted engines on 2 hosts and make it high available this way? Kind regard

Introduction & general question about oVirt
by Nicolas Kovacs 19 Apr '21

19 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.

Hi, What is the most simpliest way to backward migrate VMs from oVirt 4.4 to oVirt 4.3 ? Is it possible to use export domain or there are some other ways ? Thank you.

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

Problem-VDSM command failed:Received fatal alert certificate_expire
by fmendoza＠red.com.sv 06 Apr '21

06 Apr '21

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. I'm the admin. https://imgur.com/KBKUu16.png oVirt Open Virtualization Manager Software Version:4.4.4.7-1.el8 Thank-you, Gary

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. This is Centos Stream 8 Ideas?

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
