change mount point for hosted_storage
by tpike＠psc.edu
Hello:
I have an oVirt 4.4.10 cluster that is working fine. All storage is on NFS. I would like to change the mount point for the hosted_storage domain from localhost:/... to <IP>/... This will be the same physical volume, all I want to do is not run my NFS mounts through my local hosts but instead mount directly from the NFS server.
I have used the "hosted-engine --set-shared-config storage" command to change the mount point for the storage. Looking at the hosted-engine.conf file confirms that the new path is set correctly. When I look at the storage inside the hosted-engine, however, it still shows the old value. How can I get the cluster to use the new path instead of the old path? I changed it both using he_local and he_shared keys. Thanks!

Big problem on Ovirt 4.4
by Nenhum de Nos
Hi,
I run a small test node and engine of ovirt since 4.3. Its in my home, but I kind messed up and now I can't use or reinstall it without loosing all my vm's data (at least this is the point my knowledge of ovirt is).
I got the issue where I could not update yum since CentOS 8 mirrors would not answer. And I tried some solution I found in the list archives, and got really bad here.
I had a power outage last Saturday and my node got to nonresponsive. No matter what I did, never left this state. Kept complaining about the CPU Type, I run it on Ryzen 3400G (used to run on Intel i5, also desktop CPU, and never had an issue, when I changed to Ryzen, every outage from power here is a problem), and the node wouldn't come back. So I tried to upgrade my cluster to 4.4 level (was 4.3) and it didn't help. So I tried to get back to 4.3 and a message said just empty clusters could do that. I then removed my ryzen node from it and it got back to 4.3.But now I could not install the node. I tried changing its name, no good. Failed on how to get packages from GLuster8 repo.That is where my story got sad. I tried to update my repo using the steps in the last post from https://lists.ovirt.org/archives/list/users@ovirt.org/thread/D3FEXQ5.... Bad idea, and another one was I didn't do a backup of the engine.
Now my engine won't start, the backup won't run:
engine-backup --mode=backup --file=/root/backup_deuruim --log=/root/backup_deuruim.logStart of engine-backup with mode 'backup'scope: allarchive file: /root/backup_deuruimlog file: /root/backup_deuruim.logBacking up:Notifying engineNotifying engineFATAL: Failed notifying engine

the Admin portal won't work, and I get a message on the login screen from engine saying I have a web console at port 9090. I don't get it.
As my last resort I am here, trying at least to know a way I could backup it and install the engine elsewhere. All vm data is fine, but as the names are cryptographic, import them would have me guessing things, right?
The number of VM's is low, 6 or 7, so if there is a way to do it manually, I would try. Installing it again would be my nightmare here.
thanks,
matheus
ps: if needed, I can provide more info.

dnf update fails with oVirt 4.4 on centos 8 stream due to ansible package conflicts.
by Daniel McCoshen
Hey all,
I'm running ovirt 4.4 in production (4.4.5-11-1.el8), and I'm attempting to update the OS on my hosts. The hosts are all centos 8 stream, and dnf update is failing on all of them with the following output:

(try to add '--allowerasing' to command line to replace conflicting packages or '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages or '--nobest' to use not only best candidate packages)
cockpit-ovirt-dashboard.noarch is at 0.15.1-1.el8, and it looks like that conflicting ansible-core package was added to the 8-stream repo two days ago. That's when I first noticed the issue, but I it might be older. When the eariler issues with the centos 8 deprecation happened, I had swapped out the repos on some of these hosts for the new ones, and have since added new hosts as well, using the updated repos. Both hosts that had been moved from the old repos, and ones created with the new repos are experienceing this issue.
ansible-core is being pulled from the centos 8 stream AppStream repo, and the ansible package that cockpit-ovirt-dashboard.noarch is trying to use as a dependency is comming from ovirt-4.4-centos-ovirt44
I'm tempted to blacklist ansible-core in my dnf conf, but that seems like a hacky work-around and not the actual fix here.
Thanks,

gluster in ovirt-node in 4.5
by Yedidyah Bar David
Hi all,
In relation to a recent question here (thread "[ovirt-devel] [ANN]
Schedule for oVirt 4.5.0"), we are now blocked with the following
chain of changes/dependencies:
1. ovirt-ansible-collection recently moved from ansible-2.9 to
ansible-core 2.12.
2. ovirt-hosted-engine-setup followed it.
3. ovirt-release-host-node (the package including dependencies for
ovirt-node) requires gluster-ansible-roles.
4. gluster-ansible-roles right now requires 'ansible >= 2.9' (not
core), and I only checked one of its dependencies,
gluster-ansible-infra, and this one requires 'ansible >= 2.5'.
5. ansible-core does not 'Provide: ansible', IIUC intentionally.
So we should do one of:
1. Fix gluster-ansible* packages to work with ansible-core 2.12.
2. Only patch gluster-ansible* packages to require ansible-core,
without making sure they actually work with it. This will satisfy all
deps (I guess), make the thing installable, but will likely break when
actually used. Not sure it's such a good option, but nonetheless
relevant. Might make sense if someone is going to work on (1.) soon
but not immediately. This is what would have happened in practice, if
ansible-core would have 'Provide:'-ed ansible.
3. Patch ovirt-release-host-node to not require gluster-ansible*
anymore. This means it will not be included in ovirt-node. Users that
will want to use it will have to install the dependencies manually,
somehow, presumably after (1.) is done independently.
Our team (RHV integration) does not have capacity for (1.). I intend
to do (3.) very soon, unless we get volunteers for doing (1.) or
strong voices for (2.).
Best regards,

Re: No bootable device

Hi,
The checkbox is already checked, when you mark a disk as "OS" it's
marked automatically. Still it won't boot.

VDSM Issue after Upgrade of Node in HCI
by Abe E
So I have my 2nd node in my cluster that showed an upgrade option in OVIRT.
I put it in maint mode and ran the upgrade, it went through it but at one point it lost its internet connection or connection within the gluster, it didnt get to the reboot process and simply lost its connection to the engine from there.
I can see the gluster is still running and was able to keep all 3 glusters syncing but it seems the VDSM may be the culprit here.
ovirt-ha-agent wont start and the hosted-engine --connect-storage returns:

Anyone have ideas where I could recover this, I am not sure if something corrupted on update or on a reboot -- I would prefer updating notes from the CLI next time but unfortunately I have not looked that far, it would have helped me see what failed and where much easier.

Cloning VM selecting part of the disks
by Gianluca Cecchi
Hello,
in recent versions of oVirt (eg my last 4.4.10) there is the feature to
make a clone of a running VM.
This operation passes through a temporary VM snapshot (then automatically
deleted) and cloning of this snapshot.
Sometimes there is a need to clone a VM but only a subset of its disks is
required (eg in my case I want to retain boot disk, 20Gb, and dedicated sw
disk, 20Gb, but not data disk, that usually is big... in my case 200Gb).
In this scenario I have to go the old path where I explicitly create a
snapshot of the VM, where I can select a subset of the disks, then I clone
the snapshot and last I delete the snapshot.
Do you think it is interesting to have the option of selecting disks when
you clone a running VM and go automatic..?
If I want to open a bugzilla as RFE, what components and options I have to
select?
Thanks,
Gianluca
