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. My storage setting is good. there is no error about them Is there anyone who experienced about that to solve it thanks

Cluster level 4.5
by Don Dupuis 03 May '21

03 May '21

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

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.

Slow VM replication
by David Johnson 01 May '21

01 May '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.

Re%3A how to enable HA for all vms and entire cluster at global settings&In-Reply-To=<20210429060341.18703.30460%40mail.ovirt.org>
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. My impression was that I still had to functional HE Hosts in the pool, but after seeing migration failure, it’s pretty much down to single host. 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.

Browsing at the path above I see prodvlan and havlan listed and manage network settings is the same as Public1. Compute > Clusters > Public2 > Logical Network > Manage Networks The problem is that when I try to create a vm for cluster Public2 on the nic sections no nic profile are listed, it remains <empty> option only.
