Hosted Engine Deployment timeout waiting for VM
by Jonas Liechti 09 Feb '26

09 Feb '26

Hello users, I am currently trying to deploy the self-hosted engine via the web interface but it seems stuck at the task "Wait for the local VM" (https://github.com/oVirt/ovirt-ansible-collection/blob/master/roles/hosted_…) I am unsure what to look at for getting more info as I haven't worked a lot with Ansible before. Do you have any idea how to debug? The temporary IP is added to /etc/hosts and I can also login to the VM via SSH: [root@server-005 ~]# cat /etc/hosts 192.168.1.97 ovirt-engine-test.admin.int.rabe.ch # temporary entry added by hosted-engine-setup for the bootstrap VM 127.0.0.1 localhost localhost.localdomain localhost4 localhost4.localdomain4 ::1 localhost localhost.localdomain localhost6 localhost6.localdomain6 10.128.16.5 server-005.admin.int.rabe.ch 10.128.16.6 server-006.admin.int.rabe.ch 10.128.16.7 server-007.admin.int.rabe.ch #10.128.32.2 ovirt-engine-test.admin.int.rabe.ch 10.132.16.5 server-005.storage.int.rabe.ch 10.132.16.6 server-006.storage.int.rabe.ch 10.132.16.7 server-007.storage.int.rabe.ch [root@server-005 ~]# ssh ovirt-engine-test.admin.int.rabe.ch root(a)ovirt-engine-test.admin.int.rabe.ch's password: Web console: https://ovirt-engine-test.admin.int.rabe.ch:9090/ or https://192.168.1.97:9090/ Last login: Mon Apr 18 11:33:53 2022 from 192.168.1.1 [root@ovirt-engine-test ~]# ip a 1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN group default qlen 1000 link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00 inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever inet6 ::1/128 scope host valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever 2: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc fq_codel state UP group default qlen 1000 link/ether 00:16:3e:58:7a:a3 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff inet 192.168.1.97/24 brd 192.168.1.255 scope global dynamic noprefixroute eth0 valid_lft 2313sec preferred_lft 2313sec inet6 fe80::216:3eff:fe58:7aa3/64 scope link valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever Thank you for any tips for debugging.

Unable to upload or download iso via admin portal

Hi, I'm having a trouble on fresh 4.4.10.7 installation (on oracle linux), I'm not able to upload or download any file using storage domain upload image function. I've imported CA certificate and have tried on several browsers (firefow, chrome,edge), on different computers (and browsers are green - claiming that I'm securely connected), but I'm always getting error regarding CA certificate when I test connection, or when I try to upload ISO image. I've tried to upload ISO image via cli commands (upload_disk.py), and that scenario was successful, however this method It is not very convenient for my co-workers. I have 5 physical hosts, one is dedicated to run ovirt-engine, and other 4 are kvm hypervisors.

Installing oVirt on RHEL vs CentOS Stream, Alma or Rocky Linux
by Richard W.M. Jones 06 Oct '25

06 Oct '25

I'm still struggling to get oVirt installed. It absolutely will not install on RHEL 8, the documentation here is flat out wrong: https://www.ovirt.org/documentation/installing_ovirt_as_a_standalone_manage… javapackages-tools is not a module that exists in RHEL 8. Apparently it's a CentOS PowerTools module. Since original CentOS no longer really exists either, does anyone have any opinions or experience with installing oVirt on any of: - CentOS Stream 8 - Alma Linux 8.5 - Rocky Linux Alma in particular looks like a straight replacement for old CentOS.

How to list all snapshots?
by jorgevisentini＠gmail.com 14 Feb '25

14 Feb '25

Hello everyone! First, I would like to thank everyone involved in this wonderful project. I leave here my sincere thanks! Does anyone know if it is possible to list all snapshots automatically? It can be by ansible, python, shell... any way that helps to list them all without having to enter Domain by Domain. Thank you all!

snapshot solution: Existing snapshots that were taken after this one will be erased.
by dhanaraj.ramesh＠yahoo.com 29 Jan '25

29 Jan '25

Hi Team, when I want to commit the older snapshots I'm getting warning stating " Existing snapshots that were taken after this one will be erased.". is there any way we can retain the latest snapshots as is in the chain? I knew cloning and template export options are there to secure that latest snapshot data but these are will consume additional space in storage and take time.

Restart oVirt-Engine
by Jeremey Wise 09 Jan '25

09 Jan '25

How ,without reboot of hosting system, do I restart the oVirt engine? # I tried below but do not seem to effect the virtual machine [root@thor iso]# systemctl restart ov ovirt-ha-agent.service ovirt-imageio.service ovn-controller.service ovs-delete-transient-ports.service ovirt-ha-broker.service ovirt-vmconsole-host-sshd.service ovsdb-server.service ovs-vswitchd.service [root@thor iso]# # You cannot restart the VM " HostedEngine " as it responses: Error while executing action: HostedEngine: - Cannot restart VM. This VM is not managed by the engine. Reason is I had to do some work on a node. Reboot it.. it is back up.. network is all fine.. Cockpit working fine... and gluster fine.. But oVirt-Engine refuses to accept the node is up. -- p <jeremey.wise(a)gmail.com>enguinpages

Unable to access ovirt Admin Screen from ovirt Host
by louisb＠ameritech.net 07 Dec '24

07 Dec '24

I've reinstalled ovirt 4.4 on my server remotely via cockpit terminal. I'm able to access the ovirt admin screen remotely from the laptop that I used for the install. However, using the same URL I'm unable to gain access to the admin screen. Following the instruction in the documentation I've modified the file: /etc/ovirt-engine/engine.conf.d/99-custom-sso-setup.conf, to reflect the DNS name and I enter in the IP address. But I'm still unable to access the screen from the server console. What else needs to change in order to gain access from the server console? Thanks

SPM and Task error ...
by Enrico 22 Nov '24

22 Nov '24

Hi all, my ovirt cluster has got 3 Hypervisors runnig Centos 7.5.1804 vdsm is 4.20.39.1-1.el7, ovirt engine is 4.2.4.5-1.el7, the storage systems are HP MSA P2000 and 2050 (fibre channel). I need to stop one of the hypervisors for maintenance but this system is the storage pool manager. For this reason I decided to manually activate SPM in one of the other nodes but this operation is not successful. In the ovirt engine (engine.log) the error is this: 2019-07-25 12:39:16,744+02 INFO [org.ovirt.engine.core.bll.storage.pool.ForceSelectSPMCommand] (default task-30) [7c374384-f884-4dc9-87d0-7af27dce706b] Running command: ForceSelectSPMCommand internal: false.

oVirt networks
by Enrico Becchetti 28 Aug '24

28 Aug '24

Dear all, Ineed your help to understand how to configure the network of a new oVirt cluster. Mynew system will have a 4.3 engine thatruns in a virtual machine, andsome Dell R7525 AMD EPYC hypervisors, eachholding two 4-port PCI network cards. These servers will have node-ovirt image again in version 4.3. As for the network, there are two HPE Aruba 2540G, non-stackable, with 24 1Gbs ports and 2 10Gbs uplinks to the star center. This is a simplified scheme: My goal is to make the most of the server's 8 ethernet interfaces to have both reliability and maximum possible throughput. This cluster will have two virtual networks, one forovirt management and one for the traffic of individual virtual machines. With that said here's what my idea is. I would like to have two links aggregated by 4Gbs, one for ovrtmgt and the other for vmnet. With the ovirt web interface I can createan active-passive "Mode 1" bond, but this won'tallow me to go beyond 1Gbs. Alternatively I could create a "Mode 4" bond 802.3ad but unfortunately the switches are not stacked and therefore not even this solution applies. This is an example with active passive configuration: Can you tell me if ovirt can generate//nested bonds? Or do you have other solutions ? Thanks a lot !

Hi. I have created a new storage domain (data domain, storage type nfs) to use it to upload iso images. I have so uploaded a new iso and then attach the iso to a new vm. But when I try to boot the vm I obtain this error: booting from dvd/cd... boot failed: could not read from cdrom (code 0005) no bootable device The iso file has been uploaded with success in the data storage domain and so the vm lets my attach the iso to the vm in the boot settings. Can you help me? Thank you

How to re-enroll (or renew) host certificates for a single-host hosted-engine deployment?
by Derek Atkins 28 Jun '24

28 Jun '24

Hi, I've got a single-host hosted-engine deployment that I originally installed with 4.0 and have upgraded over the years to 4.3.10. I and some of my users have upgraded remote-viewer and now I get an error when I try to view the console of my VMs: (remote-viewer:8252): Spice-WARNING **: 11:30:41.806: ../subprojects/spice-common/common/ssl_verify.c:477:openssl_verify: Error in server certificate verification: CA signature digest algorithm too weak (num=68:depth0:/O=<My Org Name>/CN=<Host's Name>) I am 99.99% sure this is because the old certs use SHA1. I reran engine-setup on the engine and it asked me if I wanted to renew the PKI, and I answered yes. This replaced many[1] of the certificates in /etc/pki/ovirt-engine/certs on the engine, but it did not update the Host's certificate. All the documentation I've seen says that to refresh this certificate I need to put the host into maintenance mode and then re-enroll.. However I cannot do that, because this is a single-host system so I cannot put the host in local mode -- there is no place to migrate the VMs (let alone the Engine VM). So.... Is there a command-line way to re-enroll manually and update the host certs? Or some other way to get all the leftover certs renewed? Thanks, -derek [1] Not only did it not update the Host's cert, it did not update any of the vmconsole-proxy certs, nor the certs in /etc/pki/ovirt-vmconsole/, and obviously nothing in /etc/pki/ on the host itself. -- Derek Atkins 617-623-3745 derek(a)ihtfp.com www.ihtfp.com Computer and Internet Security Consultant

4.5.4 with Ceph only storage
by Maurice Burrows 25 Jun '24

25 Jun '24

Hey ... A long story short ... I have an existing Red Hat Virt / Gluster hyperconverged solution that I am moving away from. I have an existing Ceph cluster that I primarily use for OpenStack and a small requirement for S3 via RGW. I'm planning to build a new oVirt 4.5.4 cluster on RHEL9 using Ceph for all storage requirements. I've read many online articles on oVirt and Ceph, and they all seem to use the Ceph iSCSI gateway, which is now in maintenance, so I'm not real keen to commit to iSCSI. So my question is, IS there any reason I cannot use CephFS for both hosted-engine and as a data storage domain? I'm currently running Ceph Pacific FWIW. Cheers

i can't access console with noVNC or VNC client(console.vv)
by z84614242＠163.com 14 May '24

14 May '24

i installed the ovirt 4.5 engine on centos stream 9 and add a ovirt node(ovirt node 4.5 iso) to this engine. i am going to run my vm on this node. i follow the instruction to create the data center, the cluster, the storage domain, upload the image. everything is fine. and after i create a vm with ubuntu image attach, i found that i can't visit the console. when i using the noVNC, it says "Something went wrong, connection is closed", when i visit vnc with virt-viewver, is says "Failed to complete handshake Error in the pull function". i try to change the console type to Bochs one and it appear the same. i change to QXL mode and the vm can't start any more. i check the log, it says "unsupported configuration: domain configuration does not support video model 'qxl'". so now i can't visit my vm by anyway. i deploy the engine follow the official instruction and keep mostly option default but why still have this issue. why the noVNC says "Something went wrong" instead of telling me what is actually wrong

Changing disk QoS causes segfault with IO-Threads enabled (oVirt 4.3.0.4-1.el7)
by jloh＠squiz.net 23 Apr '24

23 Apr '24

We recently upgraded to 4.3.0 and have found that when changing disk QoS settings on VMs whilst IO-Threads is enabled causes them to segfault and the VM to reboot. We've been able to replicate this across several VMs. VMs with IO-Threads disabled/turned off do not segfault when changing the QoS. Mar 1 11:49:06 srvXX kernel: IO iothread1[30468]: segfault at fffffffffffffff8 ip 0000557649f2bd24 sp 00007f80de832f60 error 5 in qemu-kvm[5576498dd000+a03000] Mar 1 11:49:06 srvXX abrt-hook-ccpp: invalid number 'iothread1' Mar 1 11:49:11 srvXX libvirtd: 2019-03-01 00:49:11.116+0000: 13365: error : qemuMonitorIORead:609 : Unable to read from monitor: Connection reset by peer Happy to supply some more logs to someone if they'll help but just wondering whether anyone else has experienced this or knows of a current fix other than turning io-threads off. Cheers.

Cannot restart ovirt after massive failure.
by Gilboa Davara 18 Jan '24

18 Jan '24

Hello all, During the night, one of my (smaller) setups, a single node self hosted engine (localhost NFS) crashed due to what-looks-like a massive disk failure (Software RAID6, with 10 drives + spare). After a reboot, I let the RAID resync with a fresh drive) and went on to start oVirt. However, no such luck. Two issues: 1. ovirt-ha-broker fails due to broken hosted engine state (log attached). 2. ovirt-ha-agent fails due to network test (tcp) even though both remote-host and DNS servers are active. (log attached). Two questions: 1. Can I somehow force the agent to disable the network liveliness test? 2. Can I somehow force the broker to rebuild / fix the hosted engine state? - Gilboa

Please, Please Help - New oVirt Install/Deployment Failing - "Host is not up..."
by Matthew J Black 18 Jan '24

18 Jan '24

Hi Everyone, Could someone please help me - I've been trying to do an install of oVirt for *weeks* (including false starts and self-inflicted wounds/errors) and it is still not working. My setup: - oVirt v4.5.3 - A brand new fresh vanilla install of RockyLinux 8.6 - all working AOK - 2*NICs in a bond (802.3ad) with a couple of sub-Interfaces/VLANs - all working AOK - All relevant IPv4 Address in DNS with Reverse Lookups - all working AOK - All relevant IPv4 Address in "/etc/hosts" file - all working AOK - IPv6 (using "method=auto" in the interface config file) enabled on the relevant sub-Interface/VLAN - I'm not using IPv6 on the network, only IPv4, but I'm trying to cover all the bases. - All relevant Ports (as per the oVirt documentation) set up on the firewall - ie firewall-cmd --add-service={{ libvirt-tls | ovirt-imageio | ovirt-vmconsole | vdsm }} - All the relevant Repositories installed (ie RockyLinux BaseOS, AppStream, & PowerTools, and the EPEL, plus the ones from the oVirt documentation) I have followed the oVirt documentation (including the special RHEL-instructions and RockyLinux-instructions) to the letter - no deviations, no special settings, exactly as they are written. All the dnf installs, etc, went off without a hitch, including the "dnf install centos-release-ovirt45", "dnf install ovirt-engine-appliance", and "dnf install ovirt-hosted-engine-setup" - no errors anywhere. Here is the results of a "dnf repolist": - appstream Rocky Linux 8 - AppStream - baseos Rocky Linux 8 - BaseOS - centos-ceph-pacific CentOS-8-stream - Ceph Pacific - centos-gluster10 CentOS-8-stream - Gluster 10 - centos-nfv-openvswitch CentOS-8 - NFV OpenvSwitch - centos-opstools CentOS-OpsTools - collectd - centos-ovirt45 CentOS Stream 8 - oVirt 4.5 - cs8-extras CentOS Stream 8 - Extras - cs8-extras-common CentOS Stream 8 - Extras common packages - epel Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux 8 - x86_64 - epel-modular Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux Modular 8 - x86_64 - ovirt-45-centos-stream-openstack-yoga CentOS Stream 8 - oVirt 4.5 - OpenStack Yoga Repository - ovirt-45-upstream oVirt upstream for CentOS Stream 8 - oVirt 4.5 - powertools Rocky Linux 8 - PowerTools So I kicked-off the oVirt deployment with: "hosted-engine --deploy --4 --ansible-extra-vars=he_offline_deployment=true". I used "--ansible-extra-vars=he_offline_deployment=true" because without that flag I was getting "DNF timout" issues (see my previous post `Local (Deployment) VM Can't Reach "centos-ceph-pacific" Repo`). I answer the defaults to all of questions the script asked, or entered the deployment-relevant answers where appropriate. In doing this I double-checked every answer before hitting <Enter>. Everything progressed smoothly until the deployment reached the "Wait for the host to be up" task... which then hung for more than 30 minutes before failing. From the ovirt-hosted-engine-setup... log file: - 2022-10-20 17:54:26,285+1100 ERROR otopi.ovirt_hosted_engine_setup.ansible_utils ansible_utils._process_output:113 fatal: [localhost]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "msg": "Host is not up, please check logs, perhaps also on the engine machine"} I checked the following log files and found all of the relevant ERROR lines, then checked several 10s of proceeding and succeeding lines trying to determine what was going wrong, but I could not determine anything. - ovirt-hosted-engine-setup... - ovirt-hosted-engine-setup-ansible-bootstrap_local_vm... - ovirt-hosted-engine-setup-ansible-final_clean... - not really relevant, I believe I can include the log files (or the relevant parts of the log files) if people want - but that are very large: several 100 kilobytes each. I also googled "oVirt Host is not up" and found several entries, but after reading them all the most relevant seems to be a thread from these mailing list: `Install of RHV 4.4 failing - "Host is not up, please check logs, perhaps also on the engine machine"` - but this seems to be talking about an upgrade and I didn't gleam anything useful from it - I could, of course, be wrong about that. So my questions are: - Where else should I be looking (ie other log files, etc, and possible where to find them)? - Does anyone have any idea why this isn't working? - Does anyone have a work-around (including a completely manual process to get things working - I don't mind working in the CLI with virsh, etc)? - What am I doing wrong? Please, I'm really stumped with this, and I really do need help. Cheers Dulux-Oz

In the ovirt management console I can the see host in a down state and given the rest of the playbook ran which requires ssh connectivity between hosted-engine and host, I believe the network is generally setup correctly. No other immediate errors I can. As vdsm-tool ovn-config expects a network to exist with value of the hostname, what is meant to be creating this on the host? Thanks, Huw

how to renew expired ovirt node vdsm cert manually ?
by dhanaraj.ramesh＠yahoo.com 11 Jan '24

11 Jan '24

below are the steps to renew the expired vdsm cert of ovirt node # To check CERT expired # openssl x509 -in /etc/pki/vdsm/certs/vdsmcert.pem -noout -dates 1. Backup vdsm folder # cd /etc/pki # mv vdsm vdsm.orig # mkdir vdsm ; chown vdsm:kvm vdsm # cd vdsm # mkdir libvirt-vnc certs keys libvirt-spice libvirt-migrate # chown vdsm:kvm libvirt-vnc certs keys libvirt-spice libvirt-migrate 2. Regenerate cert & keys # vdsm-tool configure --module certificates 3. Copy the cert to destination location chmod 440 /etc/pki/vdsm/keys/vdsmkey.pem chown root /etc/pki/vdsmcerts/*pem chmod 644 /etc/pki/vdsmcerts/*pem cp /etc/pki/vdsm/certs/cacert.pem /etc/pki/vdsm/libvirt-spice/ca-cert.pem cp /etc/pki/vdsm/keys/vdsmkey.pem /etc/pki/vdsm/libvirt-spice/server-key.pem cp /etc/pki/vdsm/certs/vdsmcert.pem /etc/pki/vdsm/libvirt-spice/server-cert.pem cp /etc/pki/vdsm/certs/cacert.pem /etc/pki/vdsm/libvirt-vnc/ca-cert.pem cp /etc/pki/vdsm/keys/vdsmkey.pem /etc/pki/vdsm/libvirt-vnc/server-key.pem cp /etc/pki/vdsm/certs/vdsmcert.pem /etc/pki/vdsm/libvirt-vnc/server-cert.pem cp -p /etc/pki/vdsm/certs/cacert.pem /etc/pki/vdsm/libvirt-migrate/ca-cert.pem cp -p /etc/pki/vdsm/keys/vdsmkey.pem /etc/pki/vdsm/libvirt-migrate/server-key.pem cp -p /etc/pki/vdsm/certs/vdsmcert.pem /etc/pki/vdsm/libvirt-migrate/server-cert.pem chown root:qemu /etc/pki/vdsm/libvirt-migrate/server-key.pem cp -p /etc/pki/vdsm.orig/keys/libvirt_password /etc/pki/vdsm/keys/ mv /etc/pki/libvirt/clientcert.pem /etc/pki/libvirt/clientcert.pem.orig mv /etc/pki/libvirt/private/clientkey.pem /etc/pki/libvirt/private/clientkey.pem.orig mv /etc/pki/CA/cacert.pem /etc/pki/CA/cacert.pem.orig cp -p /etc/pki/vdsm/certs/vdsmcert.pem /etc/pki/libvirt/clientcert.pem cp -p /etc/pki/vdsm/keys/vdsmkey.pem /etc/pki/libvirt/private/clientkey.pem cp -p /etc/pki/vdsm/certs/cacert.pem /etc/pki/CA/cacert.pem 3. cross check the backup folder /etc/pki/vdsm.orig vs /etc/pki/vdsm # refer to /etc/pki/vdsm.orig/*/ and set the correct owner & group permission in /etc/pki/vdsm/*/ 4. restart services # Make sure both services are up systemctl restart vdsmd libvirtd

oVirt 4.5.0.8-1.el8 I tried to connect to grafana via the monitoring portal link from the dash and all panels are failing to display any data with varying error messages, but all include 'Origin Not Allowed' I navigated to Data Sources and ran a test on the PostgreSQL connection (localhost) which threw the same Origin Not Allowed error message. Any suggestions?

Cannot successfully import Windows vm to new ovirt deployment
by netracerx＠mac.com 29 Nov '23

29 Nov '23

I am running into an issue that, from what little Google-fu I've been able to use, should be solved in oVirt 4.5. I'm trying to import WS2019 VMs from ESXi 7 as OVFs or even OVAs. But when I do the import and set the OS to Windows Server 2019 x64 in the admin portal, I get the error "Invalid time zone for the given OS type ". If I leave it at Other OS, the import fails with event ID 1153. I've been banging my head against this for over a week (previously couldn't get the management VM to complete setup), so any guidance is appreciated. Let me know what to pull to help me pin this down? BTW, yes this is a self hosted install as a nested VM on ESXi. Kinda have to right now to test everything (easiest for me over doing a bare metal on my old PowerEdge 2900 at the moment). Running CentOS 9 Stream.

When I add a new host and I want to assign a logical network to the host interface, the host interface does not appear and I cannot assign the logical network. And it gives me an alert that the installation failed and has an item that says Host has not default route.

Weirdness with attempting NFS mount

I'm attempting to mount a share from a TrueNAS server in oVirt through the Storage > Storage Domains UI as a New Domain. Whenever I try to add the domain (as server:share), it kicks back a Permission Denied error.

oVirt host locked in installing status
by Michele la Torre 16 Nov '23

16 Nov '23

Hi all, I have an oVirt installation (version 4.5.4-1.el8) with the engine installed in standalone mode. One of the hosts, after encountering some issues with the certificate renewal (which have now been resolved, and there are no current errors related to this), is stuck in the "Installing" state. I've checked the logs, but there are no errors reported. Do you have any ideas on what I can try to resolve this? Best regards, Michele

obtain direct LUN wwid in the guest

Hi all I am working with Oracle Linux Virtualization Manager 4 (OLVM) which is based on ovirt. When I worked with OLVM 3 and when assigning direct lun to the guests in the guest I could obtain LUN's wwid with this command /usr/lib/udev/scsi_id -g -u -d /dev/sdc1 36000c29f1382ae964d67392dfdfaaf0f similar to VMWare's disk.EnableUUID But now in OLVM 4 I am getting this in the guest which is not LUN's wwid /usr/lib/udev/scsi_id -g -u -d /dev/sdc 0QEMU_QEMU_HARDDISK_671b475e-98ab-4f3b-a23d-2f8eed964e92 I wonder if is it possible to get LUN's wwid in the guest in OLVM 4?

Gluster: Ideas for migration
by jonas＠rabe.ch 10 Nov '23

10 Nov '23

Hello I have to migrate the Gluster volumes from an old oVirt cluster to a newly built one. I looked into migration strategies, but everything that Red Hat recommends is related to replacing old bricks. In a testing environment I created two clusters and wanted to migrate one volume after the other. Unfortunately that fails because a node cannot be part of two clusters at the same time. The next thing I see, is to recreate the volumes on the new cluster, then constantly rsync the files from the old cluster to the new one and at a specified point in time make the cut over where I stop the applicaiton, do a final rsync and remount the new volume under the old path. Is there any other, nicer way I could accomplish migrating a volume from one Gluster cluster to another?

Engine on EL 9
by David Carvalho 09 Nov '23

09 Nov '23

Hello, good morning. I’m using Oracle Linux and I intended to install a virtualization platffom with KVM and oracle VM. The Oracle documention only mentions Oracle Linux 8 and there are no oVirt repositories available for OL 9. I visited ovirt.org site and at the download page it only mentions: Engine: * Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.7 (or similar) * CentOS Stream 8 I still had no reply at Oracle foruns. Will there be a possibility to use this with Oracle Linux 9 soon? I have 3 servers to install and I also intend to use Gluster FS. Thanks and regards.

VMs randomly pause due to unknown storage error, unable to resume
by Jon Sattelberger 09 Nov '23

09 Nov '23

Hi, > VM xxx has been paused due to unknown storage error. > Migration failed due to a failed validation: [Migrating a VM in paused status due to I/O error is not supported.] (VM: xxx, Source: yyy). Up until recently oVirt 4.5.4 has been running fine on our RHEL 8 hypervisors with primarily (and a few appliances) Linux guests. We started to add Windows 2019 VMs to the cluster with the guest agent installed. They seem to run fine at first, but some of the Windows VMs may randomly pause due to an unknown storage error. The VM cannot be resumed through the UI or virsh. The paused VM cannot be migrated to another Hypervisor. The GlusterFS storage volumes seem fine. Resetting the VM seems to work, but eventually it'll become paused again. The only thing that came to my mind is the virtual hard disks are thin provisioned. Is a preallocated disk necessary for Windows VMs? Any helpful hints on where to look next is greatly appreciated. Thank you, Jon

oVirt support for NVMe-oF devices as storage domain.
by lxtakc＠gmail.com 09 Nov '23

09 Nov '23

Hello, We are interested in using oVirt with NVMe-oF devices. Is there an option to connect them as Storage Domain? What should be done to achieve it? Managed Block Storage (cinderlib) is not an option for us, because it doesn't support backups (incremental backups with e.g. Veeam or others). What should be done on oVirt side to support NVMe-oF as Storage Domain (like iSCSI, FCP, NFS)? Thanks.

What is the impact of doubling default NumOfPciExpressPorts value?
by ivan.lezhnjov.iv＠gmail.com 09 Nov '23

09 Nov '23

Hi! We've been trying to understand what the effect of increasing NumOfPciExpressPorts might be in terms of system resources consumption and overall system performance of the oVirt Hosts. In this specific scenario, we're running an oVirt deployment with about 100 hosts and thousands of VMs. oVirt allocates 16 PCIe ports by default (or is it QEMU defaults?) and we would like to increase that number to about 30. However, only very few VMs are actually gonna use those extra PCIe ports in terms of having additional devices (like NICs). So, basically, there will be a lot of VMs that have about twice as many PCIe ports available to them than now but not really using them (as in having actual additional devices created and associated with the VMs). How is that going to impact physical servers that are running the VMs? Any potential problems for the VMs themselves? Ivan

Hosted-engine restore failing when migrating to new storage domain
by Devin A. Bougie 08 Nov '23

08 Nov '23

Hello, We have a functioning oVirt 4.5.4 cluster running on fully-updated EL9.2 hosts. We are trying to migrate the self-hosted engine to a new iSCSI storage domain using the existing hosts, following the documented procedure: - set the cluster into global maintenance mode - backup the engine using "engine-backup --scope=all --mode=backup --file=backup.bck --log=backuplog.log" - shutdown the engine - restore the engine using "hosted-engine --deploy --4 --restore-from-file=backup.bck" This almost works, but fails with the attached log file. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated, including alternate procedures for migrating a self-hosted engine from one domain to another. Many thanks, Devin

We are excited to announce that the call for proposals is now open for the Virtualization and Cloud infrastructure devroom at the upcoming FOSDEM 2024, to be hosted on February 3rd 2024. This devroom is a collaborative effort, and is organized by dedicated folks from projects such as OpenStack, Xen Project, KubeVirt, QEMU, KVM, and Foreman. We would like to invite all those who are involved in these fields to submit your proposals by December 8th, 2023. About the Devroom The Virtualization & IaaS devroom will feature session topics such as open source hypervisors or virtual machine managers such as Xen Project, KVM, bhyve and VirtualBox as well as Infrastructure-as-a-Service projects such as KubeVirt, Apache CloudStack, OpenStack, QEMU and OpenNebula. This devroom will host presentations that focus on topics of shared interest, such as KVM; libvirt; shared storage; virtualized networking; cloud security; clustering and high availability; interfacing with multiple hypervisors; hyperconverged deployments; and scaling across hundreds or thousands of servers. Presentations in this devroom will be aimed at developers working on these platforms who are looking to collaborate and improve shared infrastructure or solve common problems. We seek topics that encourage dialog between projects and continued work post-FOSDEM. Important Dates Submission deadline: 8th December 2023 Acceptance notifications: 10th December 2023 Final schedule announcement: 15th December 2023 Devroom: 3rd February 2024 Submit Your Proposal All submissions must be made via the Pretalx event planning site[1].

Cannot "Change CD" from VM portal with standard user
by Gianluca Amato 07 Nov '23

07 Nov '23

Hello, I am trying to attach a CD to a virtual machine from the VM Portal as a standard user. When I click on the box for choosing the ISO image, I only get "[Empty]". However, when I access the VM portal as an admin, I correctly see the list of ISO images. I suspect it is a problem of permission: I have assigned to the unprivileged user the UserRole permission both for the VM and the ISO disk images. Am I doing something wrong ? Do I need to assign different roles ? Thanks, --gianluca

Missing OVF_STORE disks. Impact and how to recover them?
by ivan.lezhnjov.iv＠gmail.com 06 Nov '23

06 Nov '23

Hi! We have a Local Storage SD (Storage Domain) that is missing both OVF_STORE disks. Clearly this SD is strictly speaking broken but the oVirt Host where this SD is configured and VMs that run on that Host seem to be doing fine. No major problems except for the fact that oVirt Events logs are filled with "VDSM command SetVolumeDescriptionVDS failed: Image path does not exist or cannot be accessed/created" error (and a couple others associated with this one) that is generated every 1 hour. Is this SD in a critical state? Are we risking losing data or anything like that? What is the impact of deleting OVF_STORE disks from an SD? And most importantly is there a way to recover/recreate these OVF_STORE disks?

Multiple hosts stuck in Connecting state waiting for storage pool to go up.

Hi! We have a problem with multiple hosts stuck in Connecting state, which I hoped somebody here could help us wrap our heads around. All hosts, except one, seem to have very similar symptoms but I'll focus on one host that represents the rest. So, the host is stuck in Connecting state and this what we see in oVirt log files. /var/log/ovirt-engine/engine.log: 2023-04-20 09:51:53,021+03 ERROR [org.ovirt.engine.core.vdsbroker.vdsbroker.GetCapabilitiesAsyncVDSCommand] (EE-ManagedScheduledExecutorService-engineScheduledThreadPool-Thread-37) [] Command 'GetCapabilitiesAsyncVDSCommand(HostName = ABC010-176-XYZ, VdsIdAndVdsVDSCommandParametersBase:{hostId='2c458562-3d4d-4408-afc9-9a9484984a91', vds='Host[ABC010-176-XYZ,2c458562-3d4d-4408-afc9-9a9484984a91]'})' execution failed: org.ovirt.vdsm.jsonrpc.client.ClientConnectionException: SSL session is invalid 2023-04-20 09:55:16,556+03 ERROR [org.ovirt.engine.core.dal.dbbroker.auditloghandling.AuditLogDirector] (EE-ManagedScheduledExecutorService-engineScheduledThreadPool-Thread-67) [] EVENT_ID: VDS_BROKER_COMMAND_FAILURE(10,802), VDSM ABC010-176-XYZ command Get Host Capabilities failed: Message timeout which can be caused by communication issues /var/log/vdsm/vdsm.log: 2023-04-20 17:48:51,977+0300 INFO (vmrecovery) [vdsm.api] START getConnectedStoragePoolsList() from=internal, task_id=ebce7c8c-6ded-454e-9aee-86edf72764ef (api:31) 2023-04-20 17:48:51,977+0300 INFO (vmrecovery) [vdsm.api] FINISH getConnectedStoragePoolsList return={'poollist': []} from=internal, task_id=ebce7c8c-6ded-454e-9aee-86edf72764ef (api:37) 2023-04-20 17:48:51,978+0300 INFO (vmrecovery) [vds] recovery: waiting for storage pool to go up (clientIF:723) Both engine.log and vdsm.log are flooded with these messages. They are repeated at regular intervals ad infinitum. This is one common symptom shared by multiple hosts in our deployment. They all have these message loops in engine.log and vdsm.log files. On all Running vdsm-client Host getConnectedStoragePools also returns an empty list represented by [] on all hosts (but interestingly there is one that showed Storage Pool UUID and yet it was still stuck in Connecting state). This particular host (ABC010-176-XYZ) is connected to 3 CEPH iSCSI Storage Domains and lsblk shows 3 block devices with matching UUIDs in their device components. So, the storage seems to be connected but the Storage Pool is not? How is that even possible? Now, what's even more weird is that we tried rebooting the host (via Administrator Portal) and it didn't help. We even tried removing and re-adding the host in Administrator Portal but to no avail. Additionally, the host refused to go into Maintenance mode so we had to enforce it by manually updating Engine DB. We also tried reinstalling the host via Administrator Portal and ran into another weird problem, which I'm not sure if it's a related one or a problem that deserves a dedicated discussion thread but, basically, the underlying Ansible playbook exited with the following error message: "stdout" : "fatal: [10.10.10.176]: UNREACHABLE! => {\"changed\": false, \"msg\": \"Data could not be sent to remote host \\\"10.10.10.176\\\". Make sure this host can be reached over ssh: \", \"unreachable\": true}", Counterintuitively, just before running Reinstall via Administrator Portal we had been able to reboot the same host (which as you know oVirt does via Ansible as well). So, no changes on the host in between just different Ansible playbooks. To confirm that we actually had access to the host over ssh we successfully ran ssh -p $PORT root(a)10.10.10.176 -i /etc/pki/ovirt-engine/keys/engine_id_rsa and it worked. That made us scratch our heads for a while but what seems to had fixed Ansible's ssh access problems was manual full stop of all VDSM-related systemd services on the host. It was just a wild guess but as soon as we stopped all VDSM services Ansible stopped complaining about not being able to reach the target host and successfully did its job. I'm sure you'd like to see more logs but I'm not certain what exactly is relevant. There are a ton of logs as this deployment is comprised of nearly 80 hosts. So, I guess it's best if you just request to see specific logs, messages or configuration details and I'll cherry-pick what's relevant. We don't really understand what's going on and would appreciate any help. We tried just about anything we could think of to resolve this issue and are running out of ideas what to do next. If you have any questions just ask and I'll do my best to answer them.

Is this still an active mailing list?
by vince seavello 06 Nov '23

06 Nov '23

I am attempting to install oVirt Node 4.5.4. I could use a little help with a few setup issues. I'm wondering if this mailing list is still active. I ask because there are several links on the ovirt.org site that are not functional. If this list is still active, I'll give some of the specifics of my system and the issues I'm running into.

Direct LUN I/O errors with SCSI Pass-through enabled
by mgs＠ordix.de 03 Nov '23

03 Nov '23

Hi, in our environment (Version 4.4.10.7) we use fibre channel LUNs, which we attach directly to the VMs (as Direct LUN) with VirtIO-SCSI and SCSI pass-through enabled. The virtual machines run an application that requires 4096 as physical_block_size and 512 as logical_block_size. For this reason, we had to enable SCSI pass-through. Only with SCSI pass-through the correct physical_block_size is passed through to the VM. Now we have the following problem on just about every VM: Error messages of the following form occur in the VMs (in /var/log/messages): kernel: blk_update_request: I/O error, dev sdd, sector 352194592 op 0x1:(WRITE) flags 0xc800 phys_seg 16 prio class 0 This error message coincides with a crash of the application. The error message seems to belong to SCSI. We are currently trying to find an alternative to SCSI pass-through. We want to use VirtIO and somehow pass the physical_block_size. Since the XML files of the VMs are transient, we cannot make any changes there. Does anyone have an idea what the error could be or how to pass the correct physical_block_size? Could VDSM hooks help with this? Thank you and regards Miguel

Affinity Labels in 4.4
by Alan G 02 Nov '23

02 Nov '23

Can anyone explain how affinity labels work in 4.4? I created a label containing a host and a VM. I had assumed that would require the VM to run on that host, but the VM continues to run on any host in the cluster. I then checked the 4.4 documentation and it says that I need the filters module section of scheduling policy to contain Label, but there's doesn't appear to be a filter called Label. Am I missing something?

Hi community, We're encountering the following error when attempting to log in: Warning alert: PKIX path validation failed: java.security.cert.CertPathValidatorException: validity check failed The certificate is valid until 2027: [root@engine9 certs]# openssl x509 -subject -noout -dates -in engine.cer subject=C = US, O = telfy.com, CN = engine9.telfy.com notBefore=Sep 25 10:18:03 2022 GMT notAfter=Sep 27 10:18:03 2027 GMT It's worth noting that our time zone recently switched to GMT+1. Could this change be related to the issue? Has anyone else experienced this problem, and if so, how was it resolved? Thank you.
