Host needs to be reinstalled after configuring power management
by Andrew DeMaria
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
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.

did 4.3.9 reset bug https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1590266
by kelley bryan
I am experiencing the error message in the ovirt-hosted-engine-setup-ansible-create_target_vm log
{2020-05-06 14:15:30,024-0500 ERROR ansible failed {'status': 'FAILED', 'ansible_type': 'task', 'ansible_task': u"Fail if Engine IP is different from engine's he_fqdn resolved IP", 'ansible_result': u'type: <type \'dict\'>\nstr: {\'msg\': u"Engine VM IP address is while the engine\'s he_fqdn ovirt1-engine.kelleykars.org resolves to 192.168.122.2. If you are using DHCP, check your DHCP reservation configuration", \'changed\': False, \'_ansible_no_log\': False}', 'task_duration': 1, 'ansible_host': u'localhost', 'ansible_playbook': u'/usr/share/ovirt-hosted-engine-setup/ansible/trigger_role.yml'}}:Q!
The bug 1590266 says it should report the engine VM IP address xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx while the Engines he_fqdn is xxxxxxxxx
I need to see what it thins is wrong as both dig fqdn engine name and dig -x ip return the correct information.
Now this bug looks like it may play but I don't see the failed rediness check in the this log https://access.redhat.com/solutions/4462431
or is it because the vm fails or dies or ???

How to renew vmconsole-proxy* certificates
by capelle＠labri.fr
Hi,
Since a few weeks, we are not able to connect to the vmconsole proxy:
$ ssh -t -p 2222 ovirt-vmconsole@ovirt
ovirt-vmconsole@ovirt: Permission denied (publickey).
Last successful login record: Mar 29 11:31:32
First login failure record: Mar 31 17:28:51
We tracked the issue to the following log in /var/log/ovirt-engine/engine.log:
ERROR [org.ovirt.engine.core.services.VMConsoleProxyServlet] (default task-11) [] Error validating ticket: : sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target
Indeed, certificate /etc/pki/ovirt-engine/certs/vmconsole-proxy-helper.cer and others did expire:
--
# grep 'Not After' /etc/pki/ovirt-engine/certs/vmconsole-proxy-*
/etc/pki/ovirt-engine/certs/vmconsole-proxy-helper.cer: Not After : Mar 31 13:18:44 2021 GMT
/etc/pki/ovirt-engine/certs/vmconsole-proxy-host.cer: Not After : Mar 31 13:18:44 2021 GMT
/etc/pki/ovirt-engine/certs/vmconsole-proxy-user.cer: Not After : Mar 31 13:18:44 2021 GMT

But we did not manage to found how to renew them. Any advice ?

Snapshot and disk size allocation
by jorgevisentini＠gmail.com
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
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
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.
