How to update ovirt-sdk
by Miguel Garcia 22 Apr '21

22 Apr '21

We integrate jenkins to launch vms dynamically to run smoketest from our builds but now we receive the following problem: "msg": "ovirtsdk4 version 4.3.0 or higher is required for this module" I had installed following packages in CentOs7 ovirt-engine-sdk-java.noarch 3.6.10.0-1.el7 epel ovirt-engine-sdk-java-javadoc.noarch 3.6.10.0-1.el7 epel ovirt-engine-sdk-python.noarch 3.6.9.1-1.el7 epel I tired to use yum upgrade but did not report more recent version from ovirt-sdk. How can I upgrade/install ovirt-sdk to version 4.3?

[ANN] oVirt 4.4.6 Fifth Release Candidate is now available for testing
by Lev Veyde 22 Apr '21

22 Apr '21

oVirt 4.4.6 Fifth Release Candidate is now available for testing The oVirt Project is pleased to announce the availability of oVirt 4.4.6 Fifth Release Candidate for testing, as of April 22nd, 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.

I get this message from ovirt: Message:Host <hostname> certification is about to expire at 2021-05-12. Please renew the host's certification.

Ansible ovirt.ovirt_vm nics
by Matthew.Stier＠fujitsu.com 22 Apr '21

22 Apr '21

The 'nics' section of ovirt_vm is vague and with nearly no examples. My playbook is based upon https://blogs.oracle.com/scoter/ansible-with-oracle-linux-virtualization-ma… I've made several modifications, (more default) and added a few lines, which I believe is supposed to assign vnic profiles to the primary vnic (nic1), based upon the definition of 'vm_nic1_profile' defined in an included 'ini' file. (the profile defaulting to blank if it is not defined in the ini file.) It isn't doing its job. nics: - name: "nic1" profile_name: "{{ hostvars[item]['vm_nic1_profile'] | default('') }}" The playbook runs without complaint. If I run it with option '-vvv' part of the output lists the variables, but the 'nics' variable is an empty list (nics[]) Any hints on what I'm doing wrong? I've checked the forum, but it tends to strip leading spaces, which is bad for indent sensitive code.

Moving templates and their thin based VMs
by Gianluca Cecchi 21 Apr '21

21 Apr '21

Hello, I had to free up and reformat a storage domain where I had some templates and many VMs. I was able to move to other existing storage domains disks of VMs created with "Clone" Storage Allocation But some of these VMs had disk with storage allocation of type "Thin" on their related template. So I was both unable to move these templates and VMs disks... I was able to export as OVA the templates and then import again them (with another name "_Copy") on to another storage domain.... then remove VMs and templates and rename templates' names... Are there any chances to better solve these kind of problems if one has to decommission a storage domain? Only export of all VMs and related templates? Is there a way to "consolidate" the disks of an existing "Thin" based storage allocation to Clone? Possibly I can clone the VM? Thanks in advance, Gianluca

Re: FreeBSD 13 and virtio

I am attaching both working configs here. Von: Nur Imam Febrianto <nur_imam(a)outlook.com> Gesendet: Dienstag, 20. April 2021 14:14 An: Thomas Hoberg <thomas(a)hoberg.net>; users(a)ovirt.org Betreff: [ovirt-users] Re: FreeBSD 13 and virtio Seems strange. I want to use q35, but whenever I try even to start the installation (vm disk using virtio-scsi/virtio, net adapter using virtio) it always shows me the installer doesn't detect any disk. I have an existing VM too that recently upgraded from 12.2 to 13. It uses i440FX with virtio-scsi disk and virtio network. If I try to change the machine into q35, it keeps stuck at boot after "promiscuous mode enabled". Don't know what's wrong. Using oVirt 4.4.5. Can you share your VM Config ?

Any special reason why you'd want them based on 440FX?

For oVirt Node that using Local Storage, I think you should shutdown all your vms before you upgrade the Node. 在 2021/4/19 22:09, Nur Imam Febrianto 写道: > > Hi, > > How we can upgrade oVirt Node that using Local Storage ?

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.
