Hi Support, The following is the problem. I am trying to upgrade a CentOS 7 oVirt host to CentOS 8 Stream with oVirt-engine backup. https://www.ovirt.org/documentation/upgrade_guide/#SHE_Upgrading_from_4-3 I perform the reset as follows: hosted-engine --deploy --restore-from-file=/path/to/backup When ansible-playbook is almost finished it gives the following error: [ INFO ] changed: [localhost] [ INFO ] TASK [ovirt.ovirt.hosted_engine_setup : Initialize lockspace volume] [ ERROR ] fatal: [localhost]: FAILED! => {"attempts": 5, "changed": true, "cmd": ["hosted-engine", "--reinitialize-lockspace", "--force"], "delta": "0:00:00.227640", "end": "2022-02-08 08:22:54.615 461", "msg": "non-zero return code", "rc": 1, "start": "2022-02-08 08:22:54.387821", "stderr": "Traceback (most recent call last):\n File \"/usr/lib64/python3.6/runpy.py\", line 193, in _run_modul e_as_main\n \"__main__\", mod_spec)\n File \"/usr/lib64/python3.6/runpy.py\", line 85, in _run_code\n exec(code, run_globals)\n File \"/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/ovirt_hosted_engine_s etup/reinitialize_lockspace.py\", line 30, in <module>\n ha_cli.reset_lockspace(force)\n File \"/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/ovirt_hosted_engine_ha/client/client.py\", line 286, in reset_lo ckspace\n stats = broker.get_stats_from_storage()\n File \"/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/ovirt_hosted_engine_ha/lib/brokerlink.py\", line 148, in get_stats_from_storage\n result = self._p roxy.get_stats()\n File \"/usr/lib64/python3.6/xmlrpc/client.py\", line 1112, in __call__\n return self.__send(self.__name, args)\n File \"/usr/lib64/python3.6/xmlrpc/client.py\", line 1452, i n __request\n verbose=self.__verbose\n File \"/usr/lib64/python3.6/xmlrpc/client.py\", line 1154, in request\n return self.single_request(host, handler, request_body, verbose)\n File \"/usr /lib64/python3.6/xmlrpc/client.py\", line 1166, in single_request\n http_conn = self.send_request(host, handler, request_body, verbose)\n File \"/usr/lib64/python3.6/xmlrpc/client.py\", line 12 79, in send_request\n self.send_content(connection, request_body)\n File \"/usr/lib64/python3.6/xmlrpc/client.py\", line 1309, in send_content\n connection.endheaders(request_body)\n File \ "/usr/lib64/python3.6/http/client.py\", line 1268, in endheaders\n self._send_output(message_body, encode_chunked=encode_chunked)\n File \"/usr/lib64/python3.6/http/client.py\", line 1044, in _ send_output\n self.send(msg)\n File \"/usr/lib64/python3.6/http/client.py\", line 982, in send\n self.connect()\n File \"/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/ovirt_hosted_engine_ha/lib/unixrpc. py\", line 76, in connect\n self.sock.connect(base64.b16decode(self.host))\nFileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory", "stderr_lines": ["Traceback (most recent call last):", " Fil e \"/usr/lib64/python3.6/runpy.py\", line 193, in _run_module_as_main", " \"__main__\", mod_spec)", " File \"/usr/lib64/python3.6/runpy.py\", line 85, in _run_code", " exec(code, run_globals )", " File \"/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/ovirt_hosted_engine_setup/reinitialize_lockspace.py\", line 30, in <module>", " ha_cli.reset_lockspace(force)", " File \"/usr/lib/python3.6/site-p ackages/ovirt_hosted_engine_ha/client/client.py\", line 286, in reset_lockspace", " stats = broker.get_stats_from_storage()", " File \"/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/ovirt_hosted_engine_ha/li b/brokerlink.py\", line 148, in get_stats_from_storage", " result = self._proxy.get_stats()", " File \"/usr/lib64/python3.6/xmlrpc/client.py\", line 1112, in __call__", " return self.__send( self.__name, args)", " File \"/usr/lib64/python3.6/xmlrpc/client.py\", line 1452, in __request", " verbose=self.__verbose", " File \"/usr/lib64/python3.6/xmlrpc/client.py\", line 1154, in requ est", " return self.single_request(host, handler, request_body, verbose)", " File \"/usr/lib64/python3.6/xmlrpc/client.py\", line 1166, in single_request", " http_conn = self.send_request(ho st, handler, request_body, verbose)", " File \"/usr/lib64/python3.6/xmlrpc/client.py\", line 1279, in send_request", " self.send_content(connection, request_body)", " File \"/usr/lib64/python3 .6/xmlrpc/client.py\", line 1309, in send_content", " connection.endheaders(request_body)", " File \"/usr/lib64/python3.6/http/client.py\", line 1268, in endheaders", " self._send_output(mes sage_body, encode_chunked=encode_chunked)", " File \"/usr/lib64/python3.6/http/client.py\", line 1044, in _send_output", " self.send(msg)", " File \"/usr/lib64/python3.6/http/client.py\", line 982, in send", " self.connect()", " File \"/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/ovirt_hosted_engine_ha/lib/unixrpc.py\", line 76, in connect", " self.sock.connect(base64.b16decode(self.host))", "FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory"], "stdout": "", "stdout_lines": []} [ ERROR ] Failed to execute stage 'Closing up': Failed executing ansible-playbook [ INFO ] Stage: Clean up What is the problem?

what are the steps to swap/upgrade/reboot my main storage domain with minimum downtime
by Pascal D 14 Feb '22

14 Feb '22

I need to upgrade my main domain storage (NFS) which hosts 100s of VMs and templates including the hosted engine. Can I put the data center in global maintenance, do a quick sync and swap of the domain storage and bring it back up without missing a beat?

Fibre Channel storage issue
by Timothy J. Wielgos 10 Feb '22

10 Feb '22

Thanks everyone for helping me through the last issue I had. Once I changed bonding mode to 2, everything worked. However, now I have another issue. I'm trying to install this using fibre channel storage. I set up a new lun from my storage array, assigned it to my host, and configured multipathing. All looks good. Then, when I ran the install script, I got the following error: [ ERROR ] ovirtsdk4.Error: Fault reason is "Operation Failed". Fault detail is "[Physical device initialization failed. Please check that the device is empty and accessible by the host.]". HTTP response code is 400.[ ERROR ] fatal: [localhost]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "msg": "Fault reason is \"Operation Failed\". Fault detail is \"[Physical device initialization failed. Please check that the device is empty and accessible by the host.]\". HTTP response code is 400."} Google says that's because the lun is dirty - maybe reused. I tried doing the suggested - I used dd to write all zeroes to the lun. I used wipefs on the lun. I deleted the lun from the array and created a new one. No matter what I did with that lun, it's still showing up with this error. I then created a second LUN. I mapped it to the host, and attempted to use that lun for storage - and it worked! There must be a dirty config somewhere on this thing that I need to clean up from that first lun. Anybody know what I might have to clean up on this host to clear out that old config?

OVIRT-Node Engine Deployment Failure due to no URLs in mirrorlist
by aellahib＠gmail.com 09 Feb '22

09 Feb '22

I am running OVIRT-Node and although I updated my mirror list and the hosts are fine. It seems my engine deployment (deploying hyperconverged gluster) is trying to use a different set of mirrors during Engine VM Prep. SO this is the error I see, should I be running a newer RPM on these nodes or something, I am not aware if there is a newer one I should be using for this. [ INFO ] TASK [ovirt.ovirt.engine_setup : Install oVirt Engine package] [ ERROR ] fatal: [localhost -> 192.168.222.193]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "msg": "Failed to download metadata for repo 'ovirt-4.4-centos-gluster8': Cannot prepare internal mirrorlist: No URLs in mirrorlist", "rc": 1, "results": []} [ INFO ] TASK [ovirt.ovirt.hosted_engine_setup : Sync on engine machine] [ INFO ] changed: [localhost -> 192.168.222.193] [ INFO ] TASK [ovirt.ovirt.hosted_engine_setup : Set destination directory path] [ INFO ] ok: [localhost -> localhost] [ INFO ] TASK [ovirt.ovirt.hosted_engine_setup : Create destination directory] [ INFO ] changed: [localhost -> localhost] [ INFO ] TASK [ovirt.ovirt.hosted_engine_setup : include_tasks] [ INFO ] ok: [localhost] [ INFO ] TASK [ovirt.ovirt.hosted_engine_setup : Find the local appliance image] [ INFO ] ok: [localhost -> localhost] [ INFO ] TASK [ovirt.ovirt.hosted_engine_setup : Set local_vm_disk_path] [ INFO ] ok: [localhost -> localhost] [ INFO ] TASK [ovirt.ovirt.hosted_engine_setup : Give the vm time to flush dirty buffers] [ INFO ] ok: [localhost -> localhost] [ INFO ] TASK [ovirt.ovirt.hosted_engine_setup : Copy engine logs] [ INFO ] changed: [localhost] [ INFO ] TASK [ovirt.ovirt.hosted_engine_setup : Notify the user about a failure] [ ERROR ] fatal: [localhost]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "msg": "There was a failure deploying the engine on the local engine VM.

What replaces ISO domains how to re-use ISO files on multiple Data Centers?
by Brian Levinsen 08 Feb '22

08 Feb '22

Hello. I have been searching but not been able to find a solution. As far as I could find the Storage Domain Type ISO is deprecated. We have used this for hosting one central location for ISO images. Everywhere I found they say to use a Data Domain. But a Data Domain can not be attached to multiple Data Centers? So how do we in newer versions of ovirt share ISO files with multiple Data Centers? /Brian

Alternative Perspective - Re: oVirt alternatives
by David White 07 Feb '22

07 Feb '22

At the risk of sounding like a Red Hat or IBM fanboy, I have decided to give Red Hat the benefit of the doubt here, and to not make any decisions about switching off of oVirt until and unless an official announcement is made. In the meantime, I know that I need to move off of Gluster (and I made that decision before the Gluster announcement), and I would need storage with any other solution anyway, so that's where I'm going to focus my own efforts. In the meantime, while I realize that the optics of a company like IBM / Red Hat shutting a project like oVirt down looks bad to the FOSS community, I'm going to push back a little bit. We have had access to a FOSS application that obviously works for a lot of people. No company is required to provide their services for free, and likewise, I'm of the opinion that one needs to be willing to pay (or contribute in some way) for a quality product service. It reminds me of the mantra: "Fast, Cheap, Free - pick two". So here's an alternative perspective: What can the community contribute and do in order to keep the project going? Anyone could fork it, rebrand it, and run with it. I claim to be a software developer, and the uplink in my datacenter is only 100mbps right now (of course I can increase it when needed), so I doubt I could provide much value in terms of hosting or coding. But I do know security. I'm a Linux systems engineer with over 10 years of experience. I know website content management systems. And people have told me that I'm good at documentation. So I think I have a lot of skill sets that I could "offer" (albeit I don't have much time, and as we all know, time is money. I've been dealing with a serious personal matter since beginning of December, and I'm effectively an acting single parent at the moment). I'll end this the way I started: I'm going to wait to see what happens before I personally make any decisions to change my entire underlying virtualization infrastructure. In the meantime, I'll continue to work on what I can control - the underlying storage. And if oVirt does shutdown in the future, I'd love to have a conversation with anyone interested in helping out to fork the project and keep it running. Sent with ProtonMail Secure Email.

Installing oVirt on RHEL vs CentOS Stream, Alma or Rocky Linux
by Richard W.M. Jones 07 Feb '22

07 Feb '22

I'm still struggling to get oVirt installed. It absolutely will not install on RHEL 8, the documentation here is flat out wrong: https://www.ovirt.org/documentation/installing_ovirt_as_a_standalone_manage… javapackages-tools is not a module that exists in RHEL 8. Apparently it's a CentOS PowerTools module. Since original CentOS no longer really exists either, does anyone have any opinions or experience with installing oVirt on any of: - CentOS Stream 8 - Alma Linux 8.5 - Rocky Linux Alma in particular looks like a straight replacement for old CentOS.

Importing export storage domain after redeploy failing, stating export domain still connected.
by Gilboa Davara 07 Feb '22

07 Feb '22

Hello all, I'm rebuilding one of my gluster clusters after it blew up following an unfortunate expired certificate issue. After I finally remembered to downgrade qemu (grrrr...) and started importing the hold gluster storage domains, one of the export domains failed to import due to "connected to another domain" issue. How can I force detach it from the previous cluster? (I remember something about deleting the lease file - but I'm too brain dead to find it in DDG...).

how to search event not matching a user
by Gianluca Cecchi 07 Feb '22

07 Feb '22

Hello, every event in Advanced view has a field "User". I'm trying to compose a search in web admin of events with user different from myuser@internal It seems I'm not able to get what I want. I also tried to base attempts on an old 2019 thread (on 4.3.6) where this queries worked: Disks: name=engine* or name=host* Disks: alias=engine* or alias=host* but now on 4.4.8 gives nothing even if matched. Any hint and also documentation reference about the correct syntax to use in 4.4.x? Thanks, Gianluca

What happened to oVirt engine-setup?
by Richard W.M. Jones 07 Feb '22

07 Feb '22

A while back I had oVirt 4.4.7 installed which I used for testing. For some reason that installation has died in some way, so I'm trying to install a fresh new oVirt 4.4.10. Last time I installed ovirt, it was very easy - I provisioned a couple of machines, ran engine-setup in one, answered a few questions and after a few minutes the engine was installed. Somehow this has changed and now it's really far more complicated, involving some ansible things and wanting to create VMs and ssh everywhere. Can I go back to the old/easy way of installing oVirt engine? And if so, what happened to the instructions for that?

VM Image is Locked after cleaning up of problematic snapshot.
by Muhammad Aidilfitri Bin Saleh 06 Feb '22

06 Feb '22

Hello Everyone, I requires your input as the VM that is currently Hosted on Ovirt 4.4.4.5 is showing a locked Icon in the status column. I am unable to perform any actions on this particular VM as it shows that the "Snapshot is currently being created for VM <VMName> There was a failed snapshot attempt executed earlier but I have gone through the steps to identified and unlock the said images and snapshot using the build tools /usr/share/ovirt-engine/setup/dbutils. I even went into the DB to identified the failed snapshot but still no luck. I have restarted the ovirt-engine service and also the Standalone VM hosting this Ovirt-Engine but still not able to release the VM. I have also performed the ovirt-setup but still no luck on this portion. Any assistance is appreciated.

Hosted Engine down and not visible on any host
by milan.mithbaokar＠gmail.com 04 Feb '22

04 Feb '22

Hi, We have a 4 node ovirt cluster running at 4.4.1.5. We are running it on iSCSI shared Storage. The hosted engine is running on its separate iSCSI shared storage. Hosted Engine went down all of a sudden and no where to be found on any of the nodes when I do virsh list --all All other VM's are showed in the list but cannot see the hosted engine? when we try to bring hosted engine up using "hosted-engine --vm-start" it errors out with message "vm does not exist". The shared iscsi storage ip on which the HE vm was running is pingable, but when we perform "hosted-engine --connect-storage" we are getting request timeouts after 60 seconds. Any ideas to restore back the hosted engine and the cluster highly appreciated.

Installing a windows vm from importing an OVA Template
by moizr＠emiratesnbd.com 04 Feb '22

04 Feb '22

We are trying to create a windows vm on OLVM/OVirt. Below are the steps we followed - Exported an OVF of a plain windows vm from vmware. - Imported it as an OVA to OLVM - Start the VM after change OS type to Windows 2016. As soon as we select Windows 2016 the server doesnt start but works when we make it as other OS. We want to automated provisioning and setup of the vm through sysprep but the vm doesnt start once we select OS as Windows on the template or any vm created out of that template.

Unclear how to add local (POSIX) storage

I'm following the instructions here: https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_virtualization/4.2/ht… I've also added an extra virtual disk to my host node which appears as /dev/sdb. Although the disk is partitioned, /dev/sdb1 is not created. Is udev broken in oVirt node? I cannot see anywhere in the dialog where you specify the name of the device (eg. "/dev/sdb1").

Erasure Coding Storage Support
by alishirv＠pm.me 04 Feb '22

04 Feb '22

Hello everyone, I'm new to oVirt. I want to set up a cost-efficient and fault-tolerant virtualization environment. Our VMs have low to medium IOPS, 70% of VMs have low IOPS and about 30% of them require about 5K IOPS. All the disks are NVMe. I found that the most cost-efficient storage plan in the current oVirt is a two-way replica with an arbiter and its storage overhead is more than 100%. As far as I know, we can use erasure coding with less storage overhead. Is there any plan to support erasure coding in oVirt? Would you even recommend erasure coding for VM workloads?

Tried updated version of ovirt-node-ng-installer/4.4.10-202202021

Hello team! I faced the same mirror issue for two days. I saw you pushed a new iso image and tried it, but still the same. I use this one https://resources.ovirt.org/pub/ovirt-4.4/iso/ovirt-node-ng-installer/4.4.1… Error message: ``` ERROR ] fatal: [localhost -> 192.168.222.253]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "msg": "Failed to download metadata for repo 'ovirt-4.4-centos-gluster8': Cannot prepare internal mirrorlist: No URLs in mirrorlist", "rc": 1, "results": []} ``` Did you merge PR with mirror changes? Best regards, Denis

Ovirt host issue
by Ayansh Rocks 03 Feb '22

03 Feb '22

Hi All, I was adding ovirt host into the cluster(along with the engine deploy option) but somehow due to network issues it failed and then I removed the host from the cluster. But I got the below error. What should I do ? Ovirt Release - 4.4.9 Unconfiguring OVN on host iondelsvr12.iontrading.com might have failed. Please ensure that the host is removed from the OVN Southbound database by using '/usr/share/ovirt-provider-ovn/scripts/remove_chassis.sh iondelsvr12.iontrading.com' manually. Thanks

gluster and virtualization
by eevans＠digitaldatatechs.com 02 Feb '22

02 Feb '22

My setup is 3 ovirt nodes that run gluster independently of the engine server, even thought the engine still controls it. So 4 nodes, one engine and 3 clustered nodes. This has been and running with no issues except this: But now my arbiter node will not load the gluster drive when virtualization is enable in the BIOS. I've been scratching my head on this and need some direction. I am attaching the error. https://1drv.ms/u/s!AvgvEzKKSZHbhMRQmUHDvv_Xv7dkhw?e=QGdfYR Keep in mind, this error does not occur is VT is turned off..it boots normally. Thanks in advance.
