Changing Cluster Compatibility Version from 4.6 to 4.7 issue
by Alexandr Mikhailov 15 Aug '22

15 Aug '22

Hi! Just uprgaded from 4.4. to 4.5. Had all the problems with this update, such as postgresql-jdbc version and with stripeCount in cli.y . But I managed it, everything works more or less. Now I cannot raise the Cluster compatibility level. The problem is that increasing the level tries to change something in the HE configuration but cannot. This is error massage: Error while executing action: Cannot update cluster because the update triggered update of the VMs/Templates and it failed for the following: HostedEngine. "There was an attempt to change Hosted Engine VM values that are locked." is one of the error(s). To fix the issue, please go to each VM/Template, edit, change the Custom Compatibility Version (or other fields changed previously in the cluster dialog) and press OK. If the save does not pass, fix the dialog validation. After successful cluster update, you can revert your Custom Compatibility Version change (or other changes). If the problem still persists, you may refer to the engine.log file for further details. If i trying to edit HE machine without changing anything i se next error: There was an attempt to change Hosted Engine VM values that are locked/ I think this is linked issues. Log from engine log when i trying to update Cluster version: 2022-05-27 14:20:54,410+06 ERROR [org.ovirt.engine.core.dal.dbbroker.auditloghandling.AuditLogDirector] (default task-212) [1b8b6b78] EVENT_ID: CLUSTER_CANNOT_UPDATE_VM_COMPATIBILITY_VERSION(12,005), Ca nnot update compatibility version of Vm/Template: [HostedEngine], Message: There was an attempt to change Hosted Engine VM values that are locked.

Help please.

Issue with oVirt 4.5 and Data Warehouse installed on a Separate Machine
by Igor Davidoff 02 Aug '22

Hello, i have an issue with 'engine-seup' step on DWH (separate server) aufter upgrade from 4.4.10 to 4.5. It looks like the ovirt-engine-setup are looking for rpm-package 'ovirt-engine' instead of 'ovirt-engine-dwh'. the reporting error is: " --== END OF CONFIGURATION ==-- [ INFO ] Stage: Setup validation [ ERROR ] Failed to execute stage 'Setup validation': Command '/usr/bin/rpm' failed to execute [ INFO ] Stage: Clean up Log file is located at /var/log/ovirt-engine/setup/ovirt-engine-setup-20220502100751-fqwb07.log [WARNING] Remote engine was not configured to be able to access DWH, please check the logs.

Import KVM VMs on individual iSCSI luns
by spierce＠cts1.com 13 Jul '22

13 Jul '22

Greetings, Is it possible with oVirt to import existing VMs where the underlying storage is on raw iSCSI luns and to keep them on those luns? The historical scenario is that we have Virtual farms in multiple sites managed by an ancient Orchestration tool that does not support modern OS's as the hypervisor. - In each site, there are clusters of hypervisors/Hosts that have visibility to the same iSCSI luns. - Each VM has it's own set of iscsi luns that are totally dedicated to that VM - Each VM is using LVM to manage the disk - Each Host has LVM filtering configured to NOT manage the VM's iscsi luns - The VMs can be live migrated from any Hypervisor within the cluster to any other Hypervisor in that same cluster We are attempting to bring this existing environment into oVirt without replacing the storage model. Is there any documentation that will serve as a guide for this scenario? In a lab environment, we have successfully - Added 2 hypervisors (hosts) and oVirt can see their VMs as external-ovtest1 and external-ovtest2 - Removed the LVM filtering on the hosts - Created a storage domain that is able to see the iscsi luns, but we have not yet done the 'add' of each lun Is it possible to import these luns as raw block devices without LVM being layered on top of them? Is it required to actually import the luns into a storage domain, or can the VM's still be imported if all luns are visible on all hosts in the cluster? In the grand scheme of things, are we trying to do something that is not possible with oVirt? If it is possible, we would greatly appreciate tips, pointers, links to docs etc that will help us migrate this environment to oVirt. Thanks in Advance - S

Upgrade from 4.2 directly to 4.5
by Vinícius Ferrão 11 Jul '22

11 Jul '22

Hello, I would like to know if I can do an oVirt upgrade directly from 4.2 to 4.5. I don’t have a free host to upgrade the oVirt Node, so I was hoping that would be possible to fire up a new engine (with restore-backup) on the old oVirt Nodes and later on upgrade the hosts. Is this possible? Thank you.

VM access to infiniband network
by Roberto Bertucci 09 Jul '22

09 Jul '22

Hi all, i am facing a problem while trying to associate a Mellanox infiniband interface to a network and using it for VM traffic. vdsm log shows the following message: The bridge <bridge name> cannot use IP over InfiniBand interface <interface name> as port. Please use RoCE interface instead. Did anybody face the same problem and solve it? Actually ib interface is configured with an ip address and we are mounting NFS filesystems on cluster nodes through infiniband network.

Unable to install on a bonded NIC
by weeglos＠yahoo.com 05 Jul '22

05 Jul '22

So I'm running a fresh install of oVirt on a new Centos Stream node. Fresh install. I installed the OS with bonded interfaces. I bonded them during the install via anaconda. I followed the doc here: https://ovirt.org/documentation/installing_ovirt_as_a_self-hosted_engine_us… When I got to the hosted-engine --deploy step, it errored out saying, "Only Team devices are present. Teaming is unsupported." However, I'm not teaming my network adapters at all. I'm bonding them: [root@mustafar ~]# cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-Bond_connection_1 BONDING_OPTS="mode=balance-rr downdelay=0 miimon=1 updelay=0" TYPE=Bond BONDING_MASTER=yes PROXY_METHOD=none BROWSER_ONLY=no BOOTPROTO=none DEFROUTE=yes IPV4_FAILURE_FATAL=no IPV6INIT=yes IPV6_AUTOCONF=yes IPV6_DEFROUTE=yes IPV6_FAILURE_FATAL=no IPV6_ADDR_GEN_MODE=stable-privacy NAME="Bond connection 1" UUID=[redacted] DEVICE=bond0 ONBOOT=yes IPADDR=192.168.5.83 PREFIX=24 GATEWAY=192.168.5.1 DNS1=192.168.5.2 DNS2=192.168.5.3 DNS3=192.168.5.4 DOMAIN=[redacted] [root@mustafar ~]# What gives with this?

oVirt OVA Export -> oVirt OVA Import failure
by simon＠justconnect.ie 04 Jul '22

04 Jul '22

I carried out the following procedure: 1. Exported a VM as an OVA to a 4.3 environment host. 2. SCP'd the file to a host on a 4.5.0.3 environment. 3. Selected Import VM - Virtual Appliance (OVA) - selected the Host and path - clicked Load but no VMs are listed. This process previously worked in 4.4 Is this a known bug? Cannot upgrade to 4.5.1 until our internal mirrors have been updated. Regards Simon...
