Certificate expiration
by Joseph Gelinas 23 Sep '22

23 Sep '22

Hi, The certificates on our oVirt stack recently expired, while all the VMs are still up, I can't put the cluster into global maintenance via ovirt-engine, or do anything via ovirt-engine for that matter. Just get event logs about cert validity. VDSM ovirt-1.xxxxx.com command Get Host Capabilities failed: PKIX path validation failed: java.security.cert.CertPathValidatorException: validity check failed VDSM ovirt-2.xxxxx.com command Get Host Capabilities failed: PKIX path validation failed: java.security.cert.CertPathValidatorException: validity check failed VDSM ovirt-3.xxxxx.com command Get Host Capabilities failed: PKIX path validation failed: java.security.cert.CertPathValidatorException: validity check failed Under Compute -> Hosts, all are status Unassigned. Default data center is status Non Responsive. I have tried a couple of solutions to regenerate the certificates without much luck and have copied the originals back in place. https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_virtualization/4.3/ht… https://access.redhat.com/solutions/2409751 I have seen things saying running engine-setup will generate new certs, however engine doesn't think the cluster is in global maintenance so won't run that, I believe I can get around the check with `engine-setup --otopi-environment=OVESETUP_CONFIG/continueSetupOnHEVM=bool:True` but is that the right thing to do? Will it deploy the certs on to the hosts as well so things communicate properly? Looks like one is supposed to put a node into maintenance and reenroll it after doing the engine-setup, but will it even be able to put the nodes into maintenance given I can't do anything with them now? Appreciate any ideas.

QXL vs VGA
by Andrea Chierici 23 Sep '22

23 Sep '22

Dear all, on latest 4.5, as many others have noticed, default is to use video type VGA and VNC as graphics protocol. Problem is, in my current environments, I can't seem to make this to work. When the machine power ups I get the "usual" error from virt-viewer: I found some docs on the web, like this from redhat: https://access.redhat.com/solutions/5695951 but it does not seem to work. Indeed I reinstalled a host and forced the creation of the vm on it, but the console is still unreachable. Any hint how I can solve this? I am quite surprised I could not find anything on standard documentation. Thanks, Andrea -- Andrea Chierici - INFN-CNAF Viale Berti Pichat 6/2, 40127 BOLOGNA Office Tel: +39 051 2095463 SkypeID ataruz --

Failed to deploy ovirt engine with CLI
by Pablo Olivera 23 Sep '22

23 Sep '22

Hi community, I'm trying to deploy the engine via CLI on an ovirt 4.5.2 (CentOS 8) node over a clean install. Previously I was trying to deploy it via cockpit but I got the following error: [ INFO ] TASK [ovirt.ovirt.hosted_engine_setup : Obtain SSO token using username/password credentials] [ ERROR ] ovirtsdk4.AuthError: Error during SSO authentication access_denied : Cannot authenticate user Invalid user credentials. [ ERROR ] fatal: [localhost]: FAILED! => {"attempts": 50, "changed": false, "msg": "Error during SSO authentication access_denied : Cannot authenticate user Invalid user credentials."} After researching in different threads of this forum, I decided to setup it via CLI by recommendation of different users, since it seems that cockpit hosted-engine deployment is broken. I attach the hosted-engine setup log but I am not sure where is the problem now. Can you help me? Thanks in advance. Pablo.

oVirt bug reports to move from bugzilla to github issues in future
by Michal Skrivanek 23 Sep '22

23 Sep '22

Hi all, as a final stage of out gerrit to github transition that started ~9 months ago we are planning to eliminate the use of bugzilla.redhat.com for all oVirt projects (bugs with Classification: "oVirt") and use the native issue tracking in github as well. We used to have integrations with gerrit and bugzilla that we moved to github actions instead, and the overhead (and notorious slowness) of bugzilla.redhat.com becomes the only "benefit" of using it these days. There's about 50 bugs total left in oVirt bugzilla so it's not that much to move, the biggest change would be that the new bugs are to be filed elsewhere. This is just a heads up for now, we haven't set a cut off date just yet, but you can expect this change in the coming weeks. Thanks, michal

oVirt API access when using Keycloak

Hello all I just recently installed a fresh oVirt appliance. Now I want to use the API to perform some actions but fail to provide the correct username. Can you help?

cancel export task - no qemu-img process on host
by goosesk blabla 22 Sep '22

22 Sep '22

Hi, i tried to find way how to cancel hanged export task. I found that there should be some hidden possibility, but it is still not released and i cannot find how to allow it. i found how to remove this task directly from pg database on engine, but i am not sure if this also will unlock that VM. i cannot kill it by qemu-img process, because this process is not running. stucked VM is ubuntu 20.04 with 3 disks 20 + 80 + 300GB . Already running more than 12 hours and still did not start making ova file (checking in export folder) . qemu-img process on the host is missing . i tried to export smaller VM 7GB and it was successfully done by 2 minutes. During export qemu-img process was running on the host. Thank you for any help. BR jan

VMs hang periodically: gluster problem?
by Diego Ercolani 22 Sep '22

22 Sep '22

Hello, I have a cluster made by 3 nodes in a "self-hosted-engine" topology. I implemented the storage with gluster implementation in 2 replica + arbiter topology. I have two gluster volumes glen - is the volume used by hosted-engine vm gv0 - is the volume used by VMs The physical disks are 4TB SSD used only to accomodate VMs (also hosted-engine) I have continuos VMs hangs, even hosted-engine, this give full of troubles as I have continuous hangs by hosted-engine and this happen asyncrounosly even while there is management operation on VMs (mobility, cloning...) after a while it happens that the VM is freed but in the VMs I have in console kernel complaining by CPU hang or timer hangs and the solution is only to shutdown/poweroff the VM... even hosted engine in fact it happens that hosted-engine -vm-status give "state=EngineUpBadHealth" This is the log during the event in the host while there is the event: Sep 01 07:48:58 ovirt-node3.ovirt NetworkManager[1923]: <info> [1662018538.0166] device (vnet73): state change: activated -> unmanaged (reason 'unmanaged', sys-iface-state: 'removed') Sep 01 07:48:58 ovirt-node3.ovirt NetworkManager[1923]: <info> [1662018538.0168] device (vnet73): released from master device ovirtmgmt Sep 01 07:48:58 ovirt-node3.ovirt libvirtd[2496]: Unable to read from monitor: Connection reset by peer Sep 01 07:48:58 ovirt-node3.ovirt libvirtd[2496]: internal error: qemu unexpectedly closed the monitor: 2022-09-01T07:48:57.930955Z qemu-kvm: -device virtio-blk-pci,iothread=iothread1,bus=pci.6,addr=0x0,drive=libvirt-1-format,id=ua-0a1a501c-fc45-430f-bfd3-076172cec406,bootindex=1,write-cache=on,serial=0a1a501c-fc45-430f-bfd3-076172cec406,werror=stop,rerror=stop: Failed to get "write" lock Is another process using the image [/run/vdsm/storage/3577c21e-f757-4405-97d1-0f827c9b4e22/0a1a501c-fc45-430f-bfd3-076172cec406/f65dab86-67f1-46fa-87c0-f9076f479741]?

iSCSI domain not seen by a node if the topology differ from the topology of the other nodes?
by Diego Ercolani 21 Sep '22

21 Sep '22

Hello, I think I0ve found another issue: I have the three node that are under heavy test and, after having problem with gluster I configured them to use with iSCSI (without multipath now) so I configured via the gui a new iscsi data domain using a single target under a single VLAN. I suspect there is an issue reporting the correct volume in my case: I try to explain. This are the scsi devices in the three nodes: [root@ovirt-node2 ~]# lsscsi [4:0:0:0] disk ATA ST4000NM000A-2HZ TN02 /dev/sda [5:0:0:0] disk ATA Samsung SSD 870 2B6Q /dev/sdb [6:0:0:0] disk IBM 2145 0000 /dev/sdc [N:0:1:1] disk Force MP600__1 /dev/nvme0n1 [root@ovirt-node3 ~]# lsscsi [0:0:0:0] disk ATA Samsung SSD 870 2B6Q /dev/sda [6:0:0:0] disk IBM 2145 0000 /dev/sdb [N:0:0:1] disk WD Blue SN570 500GB__1 /dev/nvme0n1 [root@ovirt-node4 ~]# lsscsi [3:0:0:0] disk ATA ST4000NM000A-2HZ TN02 /dev/sda [4:0:0:0] disk ATA KINGSTON SA400S3 1103 /dev/sdb [5:0:0:0] disk IBM 2145 0000 /dev/sdc So you see, the SCSI target (IBM 2145) are mapped as /dev/sdc in node2 and node4, but in node3 is mapped as /dev/sdb.

I suggest studying the ha-agent logs, /var/log/ovirt-hosted-engine-ha/agent.log.

That's a separate issue, about which I personally know very little. You might want to start a separate thread about it. I do know, though, that if you keep the storage connected, the host might be able to keep updating VM leases on the storage. See e.g.: https://www.ovirt.org/develop/release-management/features/storage/vm-leases… I didn't check the admin guide, but I suppose it has some material about HA VMs. > Is there a configuration where I can reduce the SHE timeout to make this recover process faster? IIRC there is nothing user-configurable. You can see most relevant constants in ovirt_hosted_engine_ha/agent/constants.py{,.in}. Nothing stops you from changing them, but please note that this is somewhat risky, and I strongly suggest to do very careful testing with your new settings. It might make sense to try to methodically go through all the possible state changes in the above state machine. The general assumption is that network and storage, for critical setups, are redundant, and that the engine itself is not considered critical, in the sense that if it's dead, all your VMs are still alive. And also, that it's more important to not corrupt VM disk images (e.g. by starting the VM concurrently on two hosts) than to keep the VM alive. Best regards, -- Didi

all active domains with status unknown in old 4.3 cluster
by Jorick Astrego 21 Sep '22

21 Sep '22

Hi, Currently I'm debugging a client's ovirt 4.3 cluster. I was adding two new gluster domains and got a timeout "VDSM command AttachStorageDomainVDS failed: Resource timeout: ()" and "Failed to attach Storage Domain *** to Data Center **". Then I had to restart ovirt-engine and now all the domains including NFS domains have status "unknown" and I see "VDSM command GetStoragePoolInfoVDS failed: Resource timeout: ()" in the events. Anyone fixed this before or have any tips?

Snapshot task stuck at oVirt 4.4.8
by nicolas＠devels.es 21 Sep '22

21 Sep '22

Hi, We're running oVirt 4.4.8 and one of our users tried to create a snapshot on a VM. The snapshot task got stuck (not sure why) and since then a "locked" icon is being shown on the VM. We need to remove this VM, but since it has a pending task, we're unable. The ovirt-engine log shows hundreds of events like: [2022-09-20 09:23:09,286+01 INFO [org.ovirt.engine.core.bll.SerialChildCommandsExecutionCallback] (EE-ManagedScheduledExecutorService-engineScheduledThreadPool-Thread-27) [2769dad5-3ec3-4c46-90a2-924746ea8d97] Command 'CreateSnapshotForVm' (id: '4fcb6ab7-2cd7-4a0c-be97-f6979be25bb9') waiting on child command id: 'cbb7a2c0-2111-4958-a55d-d48bf2d8591b' type:'CreateLiveSnapshotForVm' to complete An ovirt-engine restart didn't make any difference. Is there a way to remove this task manually, even changing something in the DB? Thanks.

oVirt & (Ceph) iSCSI
by Matthew J Black 21 Sep '22

21 Sep '22

Hi Everybody (Hi Dr. Nick), So, next question in my on-going saga: *somewhere* in the documentation I read that when using oVirt with multiple iSCSI paths (in my case, multiple Ceph iSCSI Gateways) we need to set up DM Multipath. My question is: Is this still relevant information when using oVirt v4.5.2? Relevant link referred to by the oVirt Documentation: - https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/7/ht… Cheers Dulux-Oz

Self-hosted-engine timeout and recovering time
by Marcos Sungaila 20 Sep '22

20 Sep '22

Hi all, I have a cluster running the 4.4.10 release with 6 KVM hosts and Self-Hosted-Engine. I'm testing some network outage scenarios, and I faced strange behavior. After disconnecting the KVM hosts hosting the SHE, there was a long timeout until switching the Self-Hosted-Engine to another host as expected. Also, there took a relatively long time to take over the HA VMs from the failing server. Is there a configuration where I can reduce the SHE timeout to make this recover process faster? Regards, Marcos Sungaila

How do I migrate a running VM off unassigned host?
by David White 20 Sep '22

20 Sep '22

Ok, now that I'm able to (re)deploy ovirt to new hosts, I now need to migrate VMs that are running on hosts that are currently in an "unassigned" state in the cluser. This is the result of having moved the oVirt engine OUT of a hyperconverged environment onto its own stand-alone system, while simultaneously upgrading oVirt from v4.4 to the latest v4.5. See the following email threads: - https://lists.ovirt.org/archives/list/users@ovirt.org/thread/TZAUCM3GB5ERST… - https://lists.ovirt.org/archives/list/users@ovirt.org/thread/3IWXZ7VXM6CYYS… The oVirt engine knows about the VMs, and oVirt knows about the storage that those VMs are on. But the engine sees 2 of my hosts as "unassigned", and I've been unable to migrate the disks to new storage, nor live migrate a VM from an unassigned host, nor make a clone of an existing VM. Is there a way to recover from this scenario? I was thinking something along the lines of manually shutting down the VM on the unassigned host, and then somehow force the engine to bring the VM online again from a healthy host?

Unable to deploy to new host
by David White 19 Sep '22

19 Sep '22

I currently have a self-hosted engine that was restored from a backup of an engine that was originally in a hyperconverged state. (See https://lists.ovirt.org/archives/list/users@ovirt.org/message/APQ3XBUM34TG7…) This was also an upgrade from ovirt 4.4 to ovirt 4.5. There were 4 hosts in this cluster. Unfortunately, 2 of them are completely in an "Unassigned" state right now, and I don't know why. The VMs on those hosts are working fine, but I have no way to move the VMs or manage them. More to the point of this email: I'm trying to re-deploy onto a 3rd host. I did a fresh install of Rocky Linux 8, and followed the instructions at https://ovirt.org/download/ and at https://ovirt.org/download/install_on_rhel.html, including the part there that is specific to Rocky. After installing the centos-release-ovirt45 package, I then logged into the oVirt engine web UI, and went to Compute -> Hosts -> New, and have tried (and failed) many times to install / deploy to this new host. The last error in the host deploy log is the following: 2022-09-18 21:29:39 EDT - { "uuid" : "94b93e6a-5410-4d26-b058-d7d1db0a151e", "counter" : 404, "stdout" : "fatal: [cha2-storage.mgt.example.com] FAILED! => {\"msg\": \"The conditional check 'cluster_switch == \\\"ovs\\\" or (ovn_central is defined and ovn_central | ipaddr)' failed.

oVirt 4.5 on Rocky 9
by Bjorn M 19 Sep '22

19 Sep '22

Hi, I'm moving all my infra nodes to Rocky 9 and my oVirt cluster is next on the list. I'm deploying a standalone oVirt VM on a KVM box and will set up the hosts afterwards. All are to run on Rocky 9 x86_64. I followed https://www.ovirt.org/download/install_on_rhel.html and created an Ansible playbook to set up the customisations. I now have all repos set up correctly, or at least that is my understanding. When I run yum search ovirt-engine I get a number of packages available from the repos, but not the ovirt-engine package. I do see the ovirt-hosted-engine, but I prefer the standalone option. This makes sense as I don't find the package at http://mirror.stream.centos.org/SIGs/9-stream/virt/x86_64/ovirt-45/Packages… , which I where all ovirt- packages are, except this one. Yum whatprovides engine-setup also turns out negative. I then decided to install ovirt-engine-appliance 4.5-20220419160254.1.el9 from ovirt-45-upstream, but that package produces an error on the GPG key import. It's unclear whether the issue is on my specific stack or wider. The missing ovirt-engine package is confusing though.

Re: Error during deployment of ovirt-engine
by Peter H 19 Sep '22

19 Sep '22

Hi Jonas, I get the same error when I try to install. Last weekend I managed to do it (but with a lot of other problems) so something has changed during the week. After the VM is up I logged in through ssh and saw that the oVirt appliance comes with Python-3.6 and Python-3.8 which both have netaddr installed. Part of the log: ... [ INFO ] TASK [ovirt.ovirt.engine_setup : Update setup packages] [ INFO ] skipping: [localhost] [ INFO ] TASK [ovirt.ovirt.engine_setup : Copy yum configuration file] [ INFO ] changed: [localhost -> 192.168.222.35] [ INFO ] TASK [ovirt.ovirt.engine_setup : Set 'best' to false] [ INFO ] changed: [localhost -> 192.168.222.35] [ INFO ] TASK [ovirt.ovirt.engine_setup : Update all packages] [ INFO ] changed: [localhost -> 192.168.222.35] [ INFO ] TASK [ovirt.ovirt.engine_setup : Remove temporary yum configuration file] [ INFO ] changed: [localhost -> 192.168.222.35] [ INFO ] TASK [ovirt.ovirt.engine_setup : Set offline parameter if variable is set] ... I noticed that after the task "Update all packages" Python-3.9 gets installed and that version does not have netaddr installed. My theory is that the playbook somehow uses the newest version of Python which is installed. pip3.9 list Package Version ------------ ------- ansible-core 2.13.3 cffi 1.14.3 cryptography 3.3.1 idna 2.10 pip 20.2.4 ply 3.11 pycparser 2.20 PyYAML 5.4.1 setuptools 50.3.2 six 1.15.0 I have tried another run where I installed the netaddr module as soon as Python-3.9 got installed and that installation went further but then it had another error. When I log into my hosted engine VM from last week there is no Python-3.9. My dnf(1) skills are not good enough to figure out which dependency is causing Python-3.9 to be installed. There are probably a lot of other modules missing that can explain the other error(s) I see. I will see if I can find out how to file a proper bug report. BR Peter

Re: Should I migrate existing oVirt Engine, or deploy new?
by David White 19 Sep '22

Hi Paul, Thanks for the response. I think you're suggesting that I take a hybrid approach, and do a restore of the current Engine onto the new VM. I hadn't thought about this option. Essentially what I was considering was either: - Export to OVA or something OR - Build a completely new oVirt engine with a completely new domain, etc... and try to live migrate the VMs from the old engine to the new engine. Do I understand you correctly that you're suggesting I install the OS onto a new VM, and try to do a restore of the oVirt settings onto the new VM (after I put the cluster into Global maintenance mode and shutdown the old oVirt)?

This protects the Hosted Engine from out of space conditions, disruptive volume configuration changes, I/O overhead, and migration activity. Or is that extremely dated information? Am 18.
