Cannot successfully import Windows vm to new ovirt deployment
by netracerx＠mac.com
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.

I added a new host not show interface network
by stevenmendoza2103＠gmail.com
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.

Ovirt API: get guest current user
by Giulio Casella
Hi,
is there a way to retrieve user currently logged in on a guest using API
calls?
I see such information in database (specifically in vm_dynamic table),
but nothing in API docs.
Any hints?
TIA,

hosted-engine --deploy fails with "The task includes an option with an undefined variable. The error was: 'local_vm_ip' is undefined"

As basic as can be install/deploy. Used ovirt-node-ng-installer-latest-el8.iso. Followed steps exactly. Took all defaults possible. After step 23 (Specify the hostname of the deployment host:) the deployment starts. It goes for quite a long time until it fails here, never getting to step 25 and asking me for storage:

I am using a viable FQDN and IP for my engine which is on the same network as the host. I've been at this for more than a week with different options/OSs. Figured this was the most basic possible configuration and yet it still doesn't work. Incredibly frustrating product.

Weirdness with attempting NFS mount
by Michaal R
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. Looking at the vdsm.log file, I see the below snippet:

Stepping it through, am I correct that I'm seeing vdsm not able to create the local directory for the NFS mount? It previously was able to mount an NFS share from the host to itself when I initially setup the server for testing.
When I do an ls -l on the directory it's trying to create the mount point in, I see ownership looks correct.
[root@ovirt ~]# cd /rhev/data-center/
[root@ovirt data-center]# ls

Is there something missing? Something that got misconfigured, maybe? Or something I can configure to fix this?

oVirt host locked in installing status
by Michele la Torre
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
