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.

Deploy oVirt Engine fail behind proxy
by Matteo Bonardi 21 Mar '24

21 Mar '24

Hi, I am trying to deploy the ovirt engine following self-hosted engine installation procedure on documentation. Deployment servers are behind a proxy and I have set it in environment and in yum.conf before run deploy.

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

by Devin A. Bougie 06 May '22

06 May '22

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? Regards, Rik -- Rik Theys System Engineer KU Leuven - Dept.

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

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

Removing Direct Mapped LUNs
by Ryan Chewning 16 Jul '21

16 Jul '21

Hi List, We need to add and remove directly mapped LUNs to multiple VMs in our Non-Production environment. The environment is backed by an iSCSI SAN. In testing when removing a directly mapped LUN it doesn't remove the underlying multipath and devices. Several questions. 1) Is this the expected behavior? 2) Are we supposed to go to each KVM host and manually remove the underlying multipath devices? 3) Is there a technical reason that oVirt doesn't do this as part of the steps to removing the storage? This is something that was handled by the manager in the previous virtualization that we used, Oracle's Xen based Oracle VM. Thanks! Ryan

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?

Gluster volumes not healing (perhaps after host maintenance?)
by David White 18 May '21

18 May '21

I discovered that the servers I purchased did not come with 10Gbps network cards, like I thought they did. So my storage network has been running on a 1Gbps connection for the past week, since I deployed the servers into the datacenter a little over a week ago. I purchased 10Gbps cards, and put one of my hosts into maintenance mode yesterday, prior to replacing the daughter card. It is now back online running fine on the 10Gbps card. All VMs seem to be working, even when I migrate them onto cha2, which is the host I did maintenance on yesterday morning. The other two hosts are still running on the 1Gbps connection, but I plan to do maintenance on them next week. The oVirt manager shows that all 3 hosts are up, and that all of my volumes - and all of my bricks - are up. However, every time I look at the storage, it appears that the self-heal info for 1 of the volumes is 10 minutes, and the self-heal info for another volume is 50+ minutes. This morning is the first time in the last couple of days that I've paid close attention to the numbers, but I don't see them going down. When I log into each of the hosts, I do see everything is connected in gluster. It is interesting to me, in this particular case, though that gluster on cha3 notices the hostname of 10.1.0.10 to be the IP address, and not the hostname (cha1). The host that I did the maintenance on is cha2. [root@cha3-storage dwhite]# gluster peer statusNumber of Peers: 2Hostname: 10.1.0.10Uuid: 87a4f344-321a-48b9-adfb-e3d2b56b8e7bState: Peer in Cluster (Connected)Hostname: cha2-storage.mgt.barredowlweb.comUuid: 93e12dee-c37d-43aa-a9e9-f4740b9cab14State: Peer in Cluster (Connected) When I run `gluster volume heal data`, I see the following: [root@cha3-storage dwhite]# gluster volume heal data Launching heal operation to perform index self heal on volume data has been unsuccessful: Commit failed on cha2-storage.mgt.barredowlweb.com.

Something broke & took down multiple VMs for ~20 minutes
by David White 11 May '21

11 May '21

As the subject suggestions, something in oVirt HCI broke. I have no idea what, and it recovered on its own after about 20 minutes or so. I believe that the issue was limited to a single host (although I don't know that for sure), as we had two VMs go completely unresponsive, but a 3rd VM remained operational. For a while during the outage, I was able to log into the oVirt admin web portal, and I noticed at least 1-2 of my hosts (I have 3 hosts) showed the problematic VMs as being problematic inside of oVirt. Reviewing the oVirt Events, I see that this basically started right when the ETL Service Started. There were no events before that point since yesterday, but right when the ETL Service started, it seems like all hell broke loose. oVirt detected "No faulty multipaths" on any of the hosts, but then very quickly started indicating that hosts, vms, and storage targets were unavailable. See my screenshot below. Around 30 - 35 minutes later, it appears that the Hosted Engine terminated due to a storage issue, and auto recovered on a different host. There's a 2nd screenshot beneath the first. Everything came back up shortly before 9am, and has been stable since. In fact, the Volume replication issues that I saw in my environment after I performed maintenance on 1 of my hosts on Friday are no longer present. It appears that the Hosted Engine sees the storage as being perfectly healthy. How do I even begin to figure out what happened, and try to prevent it from happening again?

Hi, First of all, thanks for this great list and the people who try to help eachother. This time my problem is about engine OVF file or engine storage setting. How can i came with this idea, because every 2-3 hours engine try to migrate other host(From host1 to host2) "Invalid status on Data Center B300. Setting status to Non Responsive." when i check hosts log , see these ovirt-ha-agent ovirt_hosted_engine_ha.agent.hosted_engine.HostedEngine.config.vm ERROR Failed extracting VM OVF from the OVF_STORE volume, falling back to initial vm.conf ovirt-ha-agent ovirt_hosted_engine_ha.agent.hosted_engine.HostedEngine ERROR Engine VM stopped on localhost ovirt-ha-agent ovirt_hosted_engine_ha.lib.ovf.ovf_store.OVFStore ERROR Unable to extract HEVM OVF i believe there is some kind of fc storage path or config problem.

What version of libvirt is required for a host to be put in this cluster level? I am using CentOS 8.3 and cpu is Cascade Lake Server. It says that my host is only compatible with cluster version 4.2,4.3 and 4.4. I am doing a new install of Ovirt 4.4.5. I have tried to update libvirt version but have run into issues. Currently installed libvirt is libvirt-6.0.0-28.module_el8.3.0+555+a55c8938.x86_64. Don

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.

Slow VM replication
by David Johnson 30 Apr '21

30 Apr '21

Hi everyone, When cloning a VM, I discovered that the time to close appears excessive based on the underlying platform I am using. It appears that the clone operation is not making efficient use of the network. I have seen up to 4 GBits sustained throughput by applications on VM's on the cluster. Is there a configuration I might be missing? *System specifics:* Backing store: NFS on TrueNAS running zRaid 3 on 11 spinning disks Ovirt Controller: I7 desktop General network: 1 GBit Ethernet Ovirt Host: Intel(R) Xeon(R) Silver 4216 CPU @ 2.10GHz, 2x32 cores, 256 GB RAM Data Network: 10 GBit 10GBase-Twinax, dedicated to this Host and the TrueNAS *Operation:* Copying the 60GB partition, the copy operation never exceeds 40 megabytes per second (less than 0.5 GBit), even though the dedicated 10 Gigabit data network is not otherwise busy.

by Tivon Häberlein 30 Apr '21

Hi, I haven't found a global option to set this. You'll have to do it vm after vm, which isn't a bad thing in my opinion as you'll have to reboot every vm after enabling HA anyways. For new VMs depending on your workflow I'd create a template or an instance type with HA enabled. You can also enable HA in the preset instance types via "Administration" > "Configure" > "Instance Types". Keep in mind that you will have to enable advanced options to see the High Avalibitity tab. Best regards, Tivon

Unable to migrate Engine to another HE Host
by Marko Vrgotic 30 Apr '21

30 Apr '21

Dear oVirt, I have already reached out twice regarding the issues that occurred, due to power outage, but noticed only when upgrading engine to latest 4.3. version. I am unable to redeploy engine on Host2, the hosted-engine file stays empty and VDSM on Hosts1 and 3 is reporting, even though I cleared the metadata for the Host2, on Host 1 and Host3: 2021-04-30 05:57:58,454-0700 ERROR (jsonrpc/7) [ovirt_hosted_engine_ha.client.client.HAClient] Malformed metadata for host 2: received 0 of 512 expected bytes (client:137) Today I tried to migrate HE from Host 3 to Host 1 and it fails each time with following message: On Engine: 2021-04-30 12:57:56,961Z ERROR [org.ovirt.engine.core.dal.dbbroker.auditloghandling.AuditLogDirector] (EE-ManagedThreadFactory-engine-Thread-1233892) [] EVENT_ID: VM_MIGRATION_TO_SERVER_FAILED(120), Migration failed (VM: HostedEngine, Source: ovirt-sj-03.ictv.com, Destination: ovirt-sj-01.ictv.com) On source Host: 2021-04-30 05:57:56,705-0700 ERROR (migsrc/66b6d489) [virt.vm] (vmId='66b6d489-ceb8-486a-951a-355e21f13627') Failed to migrate (migration:450) Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/vdsm/virt/migration.py", line 431, in _regular_run time.time(), migrationParams, machineParams File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/vdsm/virt/migration.py", line 505, in _startUnderlyingMigration self._perform_with_conv_schedule(duri, muri) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/vdsm/virt/migration.py", line 591, in _perform_with_conv_schedule self._perform_migration(duri, muri) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/vdsm/virt/migration.py", line 525, in _perform_migration self._migration_flags) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/vdsm/virt/virdomain.py", line 100, in f ret = attr(*args, **kwargs) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/vdsm/common/libvirtconnection.py", line 131, in wrapper ret = f(*args, **kwargs) File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/vdsm/common/function.py", line 94, in wrapper return func(inst, *args, **kwargs) File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/libvirt.py", line 1781, in migrateToURI3 if ret == -1: raise libvirtError ('virDomainMigrateToURI3() failed', dom=self) libvirtError: operation aborted: migration out job: canceled by client I know that this version is end of life – but I would very much appreciate if someone could help me asses if this means corruption in DB or the overall damage, simply to know how to plan further actions.

This is production system, so I cannot just move on to upgrading/deploying to 4.4. Additionally – : * Is the effect of the engine-cleanup on HE Host local or it affects all HE Hosts? Could that help bringing the Host back to state so that HE can be re-deployed? * What is the effect or reinitialize-lockspace? Kindly awaiting your reply.

how to override host in console.vv
by Enrico Becchetti 30 Apr '21

30 Apr '21

Hi all, I use ovirt 4.3.10 with an engine running in a standalone virtual machine. The operating system of this engine and the hypervisors is CentOS 7. In the initial setup I chose a name for the engine, ovirt.local, then I added a second public IP address named ovirt.mydomain in order to allow the user portal also from the Internet. Now here's my problem. Users are able to connect to the VM portal but they cannot access the console of their virtual machines. Checking the console.vv file I noticed that there are two parts, the first [virt-viewer] which contains the hypervisor on which the virtual machine runs, and the second in this configuration [ovirt] inside ovirt I've got "host = ovirt.local: 443". Now I would like to change the value of the "host" parameter with the FQDN. Can you tell me how I can set an override of this variable ? Thanks a lot.

29 Apr '21

oVirt 4.4.6 Sixth Release Candidate is now available for testing The oVirt Project is pleased to announce the availability of oVirt 4.4.6 Sixth Release Candidate for testing, as of April 29th, 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>.

Restoring hosted engine from backup fails on new FC storage domain creation
by Juhani Rautiainen 28 Apr '21

28 Apr '21

Hi! I started the upgrade from 4.3->4.4. Now I'm stuck as restoring the backup fails to create the correct storage domain for Hosted Engine. How can I create one? Error from ansible task is: [ ERROR ] ovirtsdk4.Error: Fault reason is "Operation Failed". Fault detail is "[Domain format is different from master storage domain format]". HTTP response code is 400. [ ERROR ] fatal: [localhost]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "msg": "Fault reason is \"Operation Failed\". Fault detail is \"[Domain format is different from master storage domain format]\". HTTP response code is 400."} And from UI I can see that what has been created is a data domain. Not data (master) domain as old one was. Now I'm stuck here. This is a fibre channel system where I'm trying to do this if it is relevant. What I could find from the logs is this: 2021-04-27 09:36:06,925+0300 DEBUG otopi.ovirt_hosted_engine_setup.ansible_utils ansible_utils._process_output:105 storage_domain_details: {'changed': False, 'ovirt_storage_domains': [{'href': '/ovirt-engine/api/storagedomains/dd52022b-7616-47f6-9534-6f1a4084fdf4', 'comment': '', 'description': '', 'id': 'dd52022b-7616-47f6-9534-6f1a4084fdf4', 'name': 'hosted_storage', 'available': 531502202880, 'backup': False, 'block_size': 512, 'committed': 0, 'critical_space_action_blocker': 5, 'discard_after_delete': True, 'disk_profiles': [], 'disk_snapshots': [], 'disks': [], 'external_status': 'ok', 'master': False, 'permissions': [], 'status': 'unattached', 'storage': {'type': 'fcp', 'volume_group': {'id': 'HRLDCn-p7X2-5X2O-vm4h-1Wb9-wAMu-WkIwit', 'logical_units': [{'discard_max_size': 268435456, 'discard_zeroes_data': False, 'id': '36000d31005b4f6000000000000000029', 'lun_mapping': 3, 'paths': 0, 'product_id': 'Compellent Vol', 'serial': 'SCOMPELNTCompellent_Vol_0005b4f6-00000029', 'size': 536870912000, 'storage_domain_id': 'dd52022b-7616-47f6-9534-6f1a4084fdf4', 'vendor_id': 'COMPELNT', 'volume_group_id': 'HRLDCn-p7X2-5X2O-vm4h-1Wb9-wAMu-WkIwit'}]}}, 'storage_connections': [], 'storage_format': 'v5', 'supports_discard': True, 'supports_discard_zeroes_data': False, 'templates': [], 'type': 'data', 'used': 4294967296, 'vms': [], 'warning_low_space_indicator': 10, 'wipe_after_delete': False}], 'failed': False} 'master': False? I'm not sure if this creation or check. I tried this opration twice.

Import VM with Xen Based in Ovirt
by hemaa＠emiratesnbd.com 28 Apr '21

28 Apr '21

Hi All, I am trying to migrate a VM from a Xen Based virtualization to Ovirt with the import option in GUI But I am not able to list any stopped VMs on the Xen host. So what I did is I started the VM and got it listed. Then selected the VM and moved to right hand section. Clicked on next button. But then it gave an error "All chosen VMs couldn't be retrieved by the external system and therefore have been filtered. Please see log for details." When I check the libvirt logs in xen hypervisor I see error as below. There is no other errors in engine logs or vdsm logs 2021-04-22 08:52:36.796+0000: 30219: error : do_connect:116 : internal error: failed to connect to xend 2021-04-22 08:52:36.830+0000: 30219: error : virNodeSuspendSupportsTarget:332 : internal error: Cannot probe for supported suspend types 2021-04-22 08:52:36.830+0000: 30219: warning : xenHypervisorMakeCapabilities:2550 : Failed to get host power management capabilities 2021-04-22 08:52:36.832+0000: 30220: error : virConnectListAllDomains:6803 : this function is not supported by the connection driver: virConnectListAllDomains This is the same error I got when I tried importing a running VM as well. Any idea on what could be a possible reason behind this?

Faild ovirt-websocket-proxy.
by jesado74＠gmail.com 28 Apr '21

28 Apr '21

Hello again. After getting the hosted-engine vm back, now I have the following problem. I can't use the graphic console. The websocket-proy fails me. Surely when I update the certificates I have missed some intermediate step, but I do not know how to follow. Anyone know of a link to follow the certificate change procedure in the websocket-proxy service. Thank you.

Brick didn't come up after planned Poweroutage
by Marcel d'Heureuse 27 Apr '21

27 Apr '21

Hi Guys, We hat a planned power outage and we have stopped all VMS and try to keep the servers alive as long as possible. Some Servers made a Reboot by itself but the IPMI interface was not reachable for the engine. The some hosts have made a restart. Now all systems running and all 180 VMs too. But one Brick of the hosted engine didn't come up. Did you have an idea. Please find attached some screenshots. Our Hosted Engine has 6 bricks on 6 different Servers. A restart of the Host didn't work. The Server Restart of glusterd didn't work. I hope you have some more Ideas? Thanks Br Marcel

Cannot delete snapshot
by Giulio Casella 27 Apr '21

27 Apr '21

Hi, I'm having (another) issue working with snapshots. Since a few days my backup system (storware vprotect) cannot delete a snapshot. Message reported by SPM is: HSMGetAllTasksStatusesVDS failed: value=Volume does not exist: ('6180c2e8-141a-4126-bcb1-5af5caa98175',) abortedcode=201 Other snapshots from other VMs are working fine (created and deleted as needed). I verified it, I can reach on SPM filesystem other snapshots from the same VM, but that one doesn't exist. I suspect that during normal backup management that snapshot has been correctly removed from file system, but still live in ovirt database. I'm pretty sure vProtect use ovirt API to operate, it doesn't directly interact with ovirt database. That's why I'm talking to you and not to storware guys. Is there a (safe) way to get rid of that snapshot? TIA Regards, Giulio Casella

Re: Ansible ovirt.ovirt_vm nics
by Matthew.Stier＠fujitsu.com 27 Apr '21

27 Apr '21

I believe I have identified the issue, variable inheritance. The inventory I include to define the hosts, includes several classes. ‘virtualmachines’ which the script uses to get the list of VMs it is going to process. All VM defaults are defined within its ‘:vars’ section. I also have groups of VMs where I want to override variables. Unfortunately, what is being defined in ‘virtualmachines’ is not being override in the class level, because they are considered sibling classes. I have found the ‘ansible_group_priority’ variable, which can be assigned at each class. I assigned the entry in [virtualmachines:vars] with the value of 2 (default is 1) and then in the other classes, I assigned a value of 3. Now the variable in [class:vars] will override the variables in [virtualmachines:vars]. Of course the host level can still override all.

HCI - oVirt for CEPH
by penguin pages 26 Apr '21

26 Apr '21

I have been building out HCI stack with KVM/RHEV + oVirt with the HCI deployment process. This is very nice for small / remote site use cases, but with Gluster being anounced as EOL in 18 months, what is the replacement plan? Are their working projects and plans to replace Gluster with CEPH? Are their deployment plans to get an HCI stack onto a supported file system? I liked gluster for the control plan for the oVirt engine and smaller utility VMs as each system has a full copy, I can retrieve /extract a copy of the VM without having all bricks back... it was just "easy" to use. CEPH just means more complexity.. and though it scales better and has better features, it means that repair means having critical mass of nodes up before you can extra data (vs any disk can be pulled out of a gluster node, plugged into my laptop and I can at least extract the data). I guess I am not trying to debate shifting to CEPH.. it does not matter.. that ship sailed... What I am asking is when / what are the plans for replacement of Gluster for HCI. Because right now, for small sites for HCI, when Gluster is no longer supported.. and CEPH does not make it... is to go VMWare and vSAN or some other total different stack.

Problem solved. I used Ansible and ran 'grep Duplicate /var/log/vdsm/vdsm.log' on all 121 of my hosts. Only the log of the host currently running the hosted-engine had entries. I migrated the hosted-engine, and all other VMs to other hosts, and then put the affected host into maintenance. I then undeployed it; then patched it; and finally deployed it. Its back up and running and taking VMs, and no more 'Duplicate keys' errors. -----Original Message----- From: Matthew.Stier(a)fujitsu.com <Matthew.Stier(a)fujitsu.com> Sent: Monday, April 26, 2021 7:18 PM To: Nir Soffer <nsoffer(a)redhat.com> Cc: users(a)ovirt.org Subject: [ovirt-users] Re: Attempting to detach a storage domain There is no /var/log/vdsm directory on the hosted-engine.

How to reduce load during create VM
by ovirt.org＠nevim.eu 26 Apr '21

26 Apr '21

Hi everyone, please, can you limit the "Create VM" process somewhere so that setting up quota does not load the server so much, especially storage when duplicating the template disk?

Hello, guys! I'm trying to deploy oVirt on GCP for the last two weeks. Someone did it on GCP using nested virtualization? My scenario is: One standalone oVirt Engine and two hosts. In the future I imagine to scale this solution. Thank you. Mário Gândara

Problem with ISCSI multipathing identifying faild path to a LUN every few seconds.
by Gal Villaret 25 Apr '21

25 Apr '21

Hi All, In the past few days, we have been having problems with hosts becoming unmanageable due to multipathd identifying false failed paths and VDSM crashing because of it. We were running version 4.4.1 and upgrading to 4.4.5(engine) and 4.4.6(nodes) seems to have resolved the VDSM. However, currently, we see that the multipathing events continue. From what we have observed, the events start in correlation to the host reporting on low swap space. The low swap space seems to be related to Commvault backup operation running. By running top on the host while a backup operation is running I can see swap being consumed to 100% although there is plenty of RAM available. After the multipath events start happening the only means of stopping it was to reboot the host. This is the warning in oVirt UI: Apr 24, 2021, 9:14:07 PM - Available swap memory of host Ovirt-Node2 [953 MB] is under defined threshold [1024 MB]. This is the first appearance of the multipath event in /var/log/messages: Apr 24 21:14:58 ovirt-node2 kernel: sd 21:0:0:9: [sdgi] tag#77 FAILED Result: hostbyte=DID_OK driverbyte=DRIVER_SENSE cmd_age=15s Apr 24 21:14:58 ovirt-node2 kernel: sd 21:0:0:9: [sdgi] tag#77 Sense Key : Aborted Command [current] Apr 24 21:14:58 ovirt-node2 kernel: sd 21:0:0:9: [sdgi] tag#77 <<vendor>>ASC=0xc1 ASCQ=0x1 Apr 24 21:14:58 ovirt-node2 kernel: sd 21:0:0:9: [sdgi] tag#77 CDB: Read(16) 88 00 00 00 00 00 79 ac 75 a0 00 00 06 00 00 00 Apr 24 21:14:58 ovirt-node2 kernel: blk_update_request: I/O error, dev sdgi, sector 2041345440 op 0x0:(READ) flags 0x4200 phys_seg 192 prio class 0 Apr 24 21:14:58 ovirt-node2 kernel: device-mapper: multipath: 253:20: Failing path 131:224.

Migration VM and Storage Domains
by LS CHENG 25 Apr '21

25 Apr '21

Hi I have a question about migrating VM's. If I have 2 VM and each VM is stored in separate Storage Domains can the VM migrate between physical hosts? Or the VM must be stored in the same Storage Domain? For example VM1 is stored in SD1 and runs in HOST-A VM2 is stored in SD2 and runs in HOST-B Can VM2 migrated to HOST-A? Thanks

n00b Requesting Some Advice
by matthew＠peregrineit.net 22 Apr '21

22 Apr '21

Hi All, I need some "best practice" advice. We have a Ceph Storage Cluster (Octopus moving to Pacific) which we'd like to use with our new oVirt Cluster (all on CentOS 8 boxes). What I'd like to know is what is the "best" (ie recommended / best practice) way of doing this - via iSCSI, CFS, 'raw' RBD blocks, some other way I haven't read about yet, etc? I realise 'best' is a subjective term, but what I tend to do is do 'manual' installs so that I both actually understand what is happening (ie how things fit together - I pull apart and rebuild mechanical clocks and watches for the same reason) and also so I can '"Puppet-ise" the results for future use. This means that I am *not* necessarily looking for "quick and dirty" or "quick and easy" (ie, I have no trouble using the CLI and 'vim-ing' conf files as required) but I do want a solid, "best-practice" system when I'm done. So, can some please help? And also, would you mind pointing me towards the relevant documentation for the answer(s) supplied (yes, I *always* RTFM :-) ). Thanks in advance Dulux-Oz

[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>.

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

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.

Re: FreeBSD 13 and virtio

I've just given it a try: works just fine with me. But I did notice, that I chose virtio-scsi when I created the disk, don't now if that makes any difference, but as an old-timer, I still got "SCSI" ingrained as "better than ATA". Chose FreeBSD 9.2 x64 as OS type while creating the VM (nothing closer appears in the selection box), again don't know if there are better choices. iperf3 shows slightly lower performance than a typical Linux guest, still rather close to 10Gbit/s on my network from the FreeBSD13 guest to a host "next-door", around 40Gbit/s VM to host. Verfied usage of vtnet0/VirtIO NIC and vtscsi0/VirtIO SCSI via dmesg.

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?

intel_iommu=on kvm-intel.nested=1 deactivates rp_filter kernel option

Hello, I have two kind of hosts: * some with default ovirt node 4.4 kernel settings * some with custom kernel settings including intel_iommu=on kvm-intel.nested=1 I can't open vm console from the second category host when binding from a different vlan because the host is unreacheable But if I set sysctl -w net.ipv4.conf.all.rp_filter=2, I can bind the host and open a vm console. I didn't test if this behaviour is because of Hostdev Passthrough & SR-IOV or Nested Virtualization.

I am running Ovirt 4.3 and exported machines as ova which includes disks. When I re import them. the disks are thin provisioned and the vm will not boot. Any idea how to get the import to preallocate disks? I have vms that will not boot. It states no bootable disk is available. It seems the virt2vm isn't working correctly. ANy help would be appreciated. Eric

[Help] The engine is not stable on HostedEngine with GlusterFS Herperverged deployment
by mengz.you＠outlook.com 19 Apr '21

19 Apr '21

Hi, I deployed a oVirt (4.3.10) cluster with HostedEngine and GlusterFS volumes (engine, vmstore, data), the glusterfs cluster on node1/node2/node3, and the engine vm can be running on those 3 nodes. Then I added a 4th nodes into cluster. But, when I operates on Eninge Web Portal, it's always reports 503 error, then I checked `hsoted-engine --vm-status`, see below: ``` [root@vhost1 ~]# hosted-engine –vm-status –== Host vhost1.yhmk.lan (id: 1) status ==– conf_on_shared_storage : True Status up-to-date : True Hostname : vhost1.<span style=”background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); color: rgb(51, 51, 51);”>alatest</span>.lan Host ID : 1 Engine status : {“reason”: “bad vm status”, “health”: “bad”, “vm”: “down_unexpected”, “detail”: “Down”} Score : 0 stopped : False Local maintenance : False crc32 : 1f25baff local_conf_timestamp : 1253650 Host timestamp : 1253649 Extra metadata (valid at timestamp): metadata_parse_version=1 metadata_feature_version=1 timestamp=1253649 (Thu Apr 8 08:05:48 2021) host-id=1 score=0 vm_conf_refresh_time=1253650 (Thu Apr 8 08:05:48 2021) conf_on_shared_storage=True maintenance=False state=EngineUnexpectedlyDown stopped=False timeout=Thu Jan 15 20:23:29 1970 –== Host vhost2.yhmk.lan (id: 2) status ==– conf_on_shared_storage : True Status up-to-date : True Hostname : vhost2.<span style=”background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); color: rgb(51, 51, 51);”>alatest</span>.lan Host ID : 2 Engine status : {“reason”: “vm not running on this host”, “health”: “bad”, “vm”: “down_unexpected”, “detail”: “unknown”} Score : 3400 stopped : False Local maintenance : False crc32 : 539fc30c local_conf_timestamp : 1253343 Host timestamp : 1253343 Extra metadata (valid at timestamp): metadata_parse_version=1 metadata_feature_version=1 timestamp=1253343 (Thu Apr 8 08:05:46 2021) host-id=2 score=3400 vm_conf_refresh_time=1253343 (Thu Apr 8 08:05:46 2021) conf_on_shared_storage=True maintenance=False state=EngineDown stopped=False –== Host vhost3.yhmk.lan (id: 3) status ==– conf_on_shared_storage : True Status up-to-date : True Hostname : vhost3.alatest.lan Host ID : 3 Engine status : {“reason”: “bad vm status”, “health”: “bad”, “vm”: “up”, “detail”: “Powering up”} Score : 3400 stopped : False Local maintenance : False crc32 : 4072e0b8 local_conf_timestamp : 1252345 Host timestamp : 1252345 Extra metadata (valid at timestamp): metadata_parse_version=1 metadata_feature_version=1 timestamp=1252345 (Thu Apr 8 08:05:42 2021) host-id=3 score=3400 vm_conf_refresh_time=1252345 (Thu Apr 8 08:05:42 2021) conf_on_shared_storage=True maintenance=False state=EngineStarting stopped=False ``` Then, wait a moment, can access web portal again, and check the hosts status, alway reports one or more hosts with label `unavaiable as HA score`, but it will dispear later. And I found, sometimes the engine vm will migrated to another nodes whill this problem occur. So, seems the HostedEngine is not stable, always occur this problem, could you please help me with this ? Thanks!

Re: ovirt-hosted-engine-cleanup
by Thomas Hoberg 19 Apr '21

19 Apr '21

ovirt-hosted-engine-cleanup will only operate on the host you run it on. In a cluster that might have side-effects, but as a rule it will try to undo all configuration settings that had a Linux host become an HCI member or just a host under oVirt management. While the GUI will try to do the same with Ansible only, the script seems to do a little more and be more thorough. My guess is that it's somewhat of a leftover from the older 'all scripts' legacy of oVirt, before they re-engineered much of it to fit Ansible. It's not perfect, however. I have come across things that it would not undo, and that were extremely difficult to find (a really clean re-install would then help). There was an issue around keys and certificates for KVM that I only remember as a nightmare and more recently I had an issue with it's ansible scripts inserting an LVM device filter specific for a UID that the HCI setup wizard had created, which then precluded it ever working again after running the *cleanup scripts. All I got was "device excluded by a filter" and only much later I found the added line in /etc/lvm.conf not undone, which caused this nail-biter. But generally that message "Is hosted engine setup finished?" mostly indicates that the four major daemons for HCI still have issues. It all starts with glusterd: If you just added a host in HCI with storage, that would like to be properly healed. AFAIK that doesn't actually preclude already using the machine to host VMs, but in the interest of keeping your head clear, I'd suggest concentrating on getting the storage all clean, with gluster happily showing connectivity all around (gluster volume status all etc.) and 'gluster volume heal <volume> [info]' giving good results. Then you need to check on the services ovirt-ha-broker and ovirt-ha-agent as well as vdsmd via 'servicectl status <servicename>' to see what they are complaining about. I typically restart them in this order to iron out the bumps. As long as you give them a bit of time, restarting them periodically doesn't seem to do any harm, but helps them recover from hangs. And then you simply need patience: Things don't happen immediately in oVirt, because few commands ever intervene into anything directly. Instead they set flags here and there which then a myriad of interlocking state machine gears will pick up and respond to, to do things in the proper order and by avoiding the race conditions manual intervention can so easily cause. Even the fastest systems won't give results in seconds. So have a coffee, better yet, some herbal tea, and then look again. There is a good chance oVirt will eventually sort it out (but restarting those daemons really can help things along, as will looking at those error messages and their potential cause).
