After attaching the Storage domain, the VMs are disappeared from the VM import
by aminur.rahman＠iongroup.com
Hi,
We're noticing some weird issue while re-attaching the storage domain. After re-attach the storage domain, some VMs are completely missing from the VM Import. Before detaching the storage domain, all the VMs were shutdown gracefully.
I also noticed some disks are exists with no Alias under the disk import on the storage domain and I can't import those disks. Its failed to register the disk with <UNKONOWN> error.
We're using Ovirt 4.2 with multiple Dell hosts in the cluster and Compellent SAN with iSCSI volumes.
Please kindly advise if I am missing anything before detach the storage domain.
Thanks

Cannot log into oVirt Manager - certificate issue
by Diggy Mc
I cannot log into oVirt Manager. My browser gave me a warning that the site's certificate has expired. Then when I try to log in, I receive the following error message:
"PKIX path validation failed: java.security.cert.CertPathValidatorException: validity check failed"
How can I fix this problem? In advance, thank you for your help.

can't use vmconsole anymore
by Nathanaël Blanchet
Hi,
I was used to use the vmconsole proxy, but since a while, I'm getting
this issue (currently 4.4.5):
# ssh -t -p 2222 ovirt-vmconsole(a)air.v100.abes.fr connect
ovirt-vmconsole(a)air.v100.abes.fr: Permission denied (publickey).
I found following in the engine.log
2021-04-15 17:55:43,094+02 ERROR

The user key is the good one, I use the same with my other engines and I
can successfully connect to vm consoles.
Thank you for helping

Re: list-view instead of tiled-view in oVirt VM Portal?
by Frank Coons
Please note that (a) there are people that use more than 20 VM's that do
not need admin access, and (b) some people do not LIKE looking at big gaudy
buttons, even if there are only 15 of them.
I put in an RFE to bring back the list view YEARS ago and was basically
told that "we know what you want better than you do." I am willing to bet
that many more people want the list view than you realize, but you don't
seem to be willing to listen.

I think that if you list the devices in this filter:
ls -lh /dev/disk/by-id/lvm-pv-uuid-Nn7tZl-TFdY-BujO-VZG5-EaGW-5YFd-Lo5pwa \
/dev/disk/by-id/lvm-pv-uuid-Wcbxnx-2RhC-s1Re-s148-nLj9-Tr3f-jj4VvE
\
/dev/disk/by-id/lvm-pv-uuid-lX51wm-H7V4-3CTn-qYob-Rkpx-Tptd-t94jNL
You will see that these are the devices used by these vgs:

If you run "vdsm-tool config-lvm-filter" and confirm with "yes", I
think all the vgs
will be imported properly into lvm devices file.
I don't think it will solve the storage issues you have since Feb
2022, but at least
you will have a standard configuration and the next upgrade will not revert your
local settings.

This is not very efficient - this copy the entire vm at the point of
time of the snapshot
and then copy it again to the export domain.
If you use a backup application supporting the incremental backup API,
the first full backup
will copy the entire vm once, but later incremental backup will copy
only the changes
since the last backup.

The problem is that your Gluster storage is not healthy, and reading
and writing to it times out.
Please keep users(a)ovirt.org CC when you reply. Gluster storage is very
popular in this mailing list
and you may get useful help from other users.

How to run virt-sysprep / How to troubleshoot template creation failure
by jeremy_tourville＠hotmail.com
When attempting to create a template the process fails. It has been suggested to run virt-sysprep manually and see why it it failed. Specifically, I have an Ubuntu 20.04 machine that doesn't boot properly even if the the template process does finish without error. I have tried creating the template several times as a test. about 80% of the time the template creation fails outright for qemu errors. The other 20% "appear" to work but the system boots to a grub emergency prompt
Can someone clarify the process?
I know you can run the command: virt-sysprep -d <name_of_vm>
1. Where do you run it from? The hypervisor host or the management engine?
2. What account do you need to use? What is the authentication username and password?
I also think I read somewhere that you should refrain from using root. Anything else to know?
Anything else to try regarding the grub prompt?
Thanks.

local on host storage domain full, how to clean up
by Gianluca Cecchi
Hello,
I have a local based storage domain that has got full, so that it is now
inactive and virtual machines that are on it are paused (vm paused due to
lack of storage space).
Any advice on how to clean up, eventually deleting some of them?
# df -h /2t_2
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/vg_2t_2-2t_2 1.8T 1.7T 0 100% /2t_2
[root@ovirt01 fdf9546c-68fa-42c9-8a10-78ef3ee534b8]#
Is there any easy way to map disk-to-vm of directories inside
/2t_2/images/dbf9611d-9090-42d6-81e0-58105bc20011/images/ so that I can
"sacrifice" some VMs deleting the corresponding disks' directories, to be
able at least to activate the storage domain again and make a cleaner check?
Or any other suggestions? I'm not able to expand it.
It is not directly managed by me and I suppose too much storage
over-provisioning has been done.
Thanks in advance.

how to force engine certificate renewal
by Gianluca Cecchi
Hello,
I'm currently still on 4.4.x.
Suppose I have an engine certificate expiring on mid August and I want to
force renew it now using "engine-setup --offline" command.
How can I do it if possible?
How many days before expiration I get the message that it is expiring soon
with a proposal of renewing it when running "engine-setup"?
Thanks,
