Hi Arik, I don’t see an option to select ‘allocation-policy=clone and specifying that the VM disk(s) should be preallocated’ when creating a VM from the template. Regard Simon

Hi Chris (sorry for the previous mispel), I installed oVirt 4.4.8 on top on CentOS 8 (Stream and standard), never used Node ISO. Maybe enabling external repo? In a "test" server try to install the following rpm and then downgrade libvirt: http://resources.ovirt.org/pub/yum-repo/ovirt-release44.rpm Regards, Francesco Il 14/03/2022 18:31, Christopher Law ha scritto: > > Thanks Francesco, it looks like a fix has been put into oVirt 4.5 > which is scheduled for general release on the 12^th April. > > I’m using an oVirt Node ISO (4.4.10) install on the host are you doing > the same or did you install oVirt on top of a standard centos install > yourself? > > I did try a dnf downgrade libvirt but it said there were no previous > packages available.

Hi Crhis, I didn't resolve properly, I found that downgrading libvirt was the fastest workaround. Just downgrade libvirt via yum/dnf to to version 7.10. I added the downgrade in an Ansible task, if you are practical: - name: Ensure libvirt-7.10.0 is installed yum: name: libvirt-7.10.0 state: present update_cache: true allow_downgrade: true ignore_errors: true or via cli : yum install libvirt-7.10.0 Post dowgrade we performed a restart of vdsm (or super-vdsm, or both, I don't remember). The downgrade is quite safe, we didn't encounter any problem with existing hosts and new deployed one.

Console - VNC password is 12 characters long, only 8 permitted
by francesco＠shellrent.com 14 Mar '22

Hi all, I'm using websockify + noVNC for expose the vm console via browser getting the graphicsconsoles ticket via API. Everything works fine for every other host that I have (more than 200), the console works either via oVirt engine and via browser) but just for a single host (CentOS Stream release 8, oVirt 4.4.9) the console works only via engine but when I try the connection via browser I get the following error (vdsm log of the host): ERROR FINISH updateDevice error=unsupported configuration: VNC password is 12 characters long, only 8 permitted Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/vdsm/common/api.py", line 124, in method ret = func(*args, **kwargs) File "/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/vdsm/API.py", line 372, in updateDevice return self.vm.updateDevice(params) File "/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/vdsm/virt/vm.py", line 3389, in updateDevice return self._updateGraphicsDevice(params) File "/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/vdsm/virt/vm.py", line 3365, in _updateGraphicsDevice params['params'] File "/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/vdsm/virt/vm.py", line 5169, in _setTicketForGraphicDev self._dom.updateDeviceFlags(xmlutils.tostring(graphics), 0) File "/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/vdsm/virt/virdomain.py", line 101, in f ret = attr(*args, **kwargs) File "/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/vdsm/common/libvirtconnection.py", line 131, in wrapper ret = f(*args, **kwargs) File "/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/vdsm/common/function.py", line 94, in wrapper return func(inst, *args, **kwargs) File "/usr/lib64/python3.6/site-packages/libvirt.py", line 3244, in updateDeviceFlags raise libvirtError('virDomainUpdateDeviceFlags() failed') libvirt.libvirtError: unsupported configuration: VNC password is 12 characters long, only 8 permitted The error is pretty much self explanatory but, I can't manage to figure out why only on this server and I wonder if I can set the length of the generated vnc password somewhere. Thank you for your time, Francesco

Link multiple self-hosted engines
by ravi k 14 Mar '22

14 Mar '22

Hello, We are planning to install self-hosted engines in our production and DR locations which are separated physically. VMware's vcenter has a feature wherein we can link vcenters so we can access both DCs in the same console. Do we have something like that in oVirt as well? I was searching and found this for oVirt 3.5 https://lists.ovirt.org/archives/list/users@ovirt.org/thread/4LDSUM4NRHUONO… The suggestion which mentions about using ManageIq seemed interesting. If anyone is managing multiple oVirt environments please share some ideas from experience. Regards, Ravi

about the time of the warning message on the engine web
by Tommy Sway 14 Mar '22

14 Mar '22

Why is the alarm information displayed on the ovirt Engine information page inconsistent with the actual time, or even later than the current time? The time of the server where the engine resides and the managed servers have been synchronized to the latest time. Why does a similar problem occur? Thanks.

Re: [External] : Importing KVMs and QCOW
by Abe E 11 Mar '22

11 Mar '22

Thanks for the reply. Yes I was able to make it work in the end, for some reason Ovirt didnt recognize the QCOW or Raw files as they were, so instead I took the vmdk my vendor provided me and converted it to qcow and ovirt then recognized it correctly.

Hi All, During the ova import process, preallocated disk policy is selected and the VM is imported successfully. Unfortunately the disks remain as Thin Provisioned - is this a known bug and is there a workaround? Kind Regards Simon...

Long shot on VM failing to start
by simon＠justconnect.ie 11 Mar '22

11 Mar '22

We are moving to an oVirt 4.4.9 environment from a 4.3.4.3 environment and have run into a major issue. The method for migration to the new system is to shutdown a VM on the old system, build a new VM on the new system with the same IP/name etc. This has worked for several VMs so far but the latest new build failed and we had to roll back - i.e. start the old VM. The old VM fails to start with the following message in the VMs libvirt qemu log: libvirtd quit during handshake: Input/output error shutting down, reason=failed Any ideas? Regards Simon...
