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 !

boot from cdrom & error code 0005
by edp＠maddalena.it 21 Aug '24

21 Aug '24

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

Oracle Virtualization Manager 4.5 anyone?
by Thomas Hoberg 29 Apr '24

29 Apr '24

Redhat's decision to shut down RHV caught Oracle pretty unprepared, I'd guess, who had just shut down their own vSphere clone in favor of a RHV clone a couple of years ago. Oracle is even less vocal about their "Oracle Virtualization" strategy, they don't even seem to have a proper naming convention or branding. But they have been pushing out OV releases without a publicly announced EOL almost a year behind Redhat for the last years. And after a 4.4 release in September 22, a few days ago on December 12th actually a release 4.5 was made public. I've operated oVirt 4.3 with significant quality issues for some years and failed to make oVirt 4.4 work with any degree of acceptable stability but Oracle's variant of 4.4 proved to be rather better than 4.3 on CentOS7 with no noticable bugs, especially in the Hyperconverged setup that I am using with GlusterFS. I assumed that this was because Oracle based their 4.4 in fact on RHV 4.4 and not oVirt, but since they're not telling, who knows? One issue with 4.4 was that Oracle is pushing their UE-Kernel and that created immediate issues e.g. with VDO missing modules for UEK and other stuff, but that was solved easily enough by using the RHEL kernel. With 4.5 Oracle obviously can't use RHV 4.5 as a base, because there is no such thing with RHV declared EOL and according to Oracle their 4.5 is based on oVirt 4.5.4, which made the quality of that release somewhat questionable, but perhaps they have spent the year that has passed since productively killing bugs... only to be caught by surprise again, I presume, by an oVirt release 4.5.5 on December 1st, that no one saw coming! Long story slightly shorter, I've been testing Oracle's 4.5 variant a bit and it's not without issues. But much worse, Oracle's variant of oVirt seems to be entirely without any community that I could find. Now oVirt has been a somewhat secret society for years, but compared to what's going on with Oracle this forum is teaming with life! So did I just not look around enough? Is there a secret lair where all those OV users are hiding? Anyhow, here is what I've tested so far and where I'd love to have some feedback: 1. Setting up a three node HCI cluster from scratch using OL8.9 and OV 4.5 Since I don't have extra physical hardware for a 3 node HCI I'm using VMware workstation 17.5 on a Workstation running Windows 2022, a test platform that has been working for all kinds of virtualization tests from VMware ESXi, via Xcp-ng and ovirt. Created three VMs with OL8.9 minimal and then installed OV 4.5. I used the UEK default kernels and then had an issue when Ansible is trying to create the (local) management engine: the VM simply could not reach the Oracle repo servers to install the packages inside the ME. Since that VM is entirely under the control of Ansible and no console access of any type is possible in that installation phase, I couldn't do diagnostics. But with 4.4 I used to have similar issues and there switching back to the Redhat kernel for the ME (and the hosts) resolved them. But with 4.5 it seems that UEK has become a baked-in dependency: the OV team doesn't even seem to do any testing with the Redhat kernel any more. Or not with the HCI setup, which has become deprecated somewhere in oVirt 4.4... Or not with the Cockpit wizard, which might be in a totally untested state, or.... Doing the same install on OL 8.9 with OV 4.4, however, did work just fine and I was even able to update to 4.5 afterwards, which was a nice surprise... ...that I could not repeat on my physical test farm using three Atoms. There switching to the UEK kernel on the hosts caused issues, hosts were becoming unresponsive, file systems inaccessible, even if they were perfectly fine at the Gluster CLI level and in the end the ME VM simply would not longer start. Switching back to the Redhat kernel resolved things there. In short, switching between the Redhat kernel and UEK, which should be 100% transparent to all things userland including hypervisors, doesn't work. But my attempts to go with a clean install of 4.5 on a Redhat kernel or UEK is also facing issues. So far the only thing that has worked was a single node HCI install using UEK and OV 4.5 and upgrading to OV 4.5 on a virtualized triple node OV 4.4 HCI cluster. Anyone else out there trying these things? I was mostly determined to move to Proxmox VE, but Oracle's OV 4.5 seemed to be handing a bit of a life-line to oVirt and the base architecture is just much more powerful (or less manual) than Proxmox, which doesn't have a management engine.

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.

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

DR plan
by 2707974＠gmail.com 28 Dec '23

28 Dec '23

Hi All, We wish to create some kind of DR plan for our OVM 4.4.10.7-1.0.22.el8 environment. Idea is to do storage replication of defined Storage Domains. steps: create LUN on storage present LUN to OVM create Storage Domain put VMs on Storage Domain on storage replicate LUN to another storage [or the same storage] Storage Domains contains OVF_STORE Now, recovery On live OVM present replica of LUN import Storage Domain But we cannot import replica LUN. Where to look for errors? Is this action possible it all? Facts OVM is the same version Storage is the same vendor LUN is browsable on SAN level and have differen WWIN, if we wish to add replicated LUN like new Storage Domain. Adding new Storage Domain mean that LUN will be formatted ... What I do wrong?

Re: How to restore VMs from shared storage domain when HE and VMs are not accessible?

I'm not sure, but... maybe: 1 - Import the Shared Domain Storage 2 - Export the data (VMs/Disks) to a mount point 3 - Create a Local Storage (the Cluster will changed) 4 - Import the data (VMs/Disks) to a Local Storage.

[ovirt4.4][rockylinux8.9][tg3] Communication down between engine and host after setting up network
by Cyril VINH-TUNG 27 Dec '23

27 Dec '23

Dear all I have an issue with ~same environment~ to make tg3 nic communicate between rocky linux 8.9 oVirt 4.4 engine and rocky linux 8.9 fresh installed host. Thanks to this post (https://forums.centos.org/viewtopic.php?t=65299) I had to make the ifcfg simplications to make engine communicate with the host and therefore be able to install the host via ovirt web UI. Then after setting up the network via ovirt and reboot the host, I lost the communicatiin between ovirt engine and the host (even ping does not work). Note that I have a virtualized pfsense between engine and host. All firewalls are opened. From anywhere else than the engine subnet I can communicate with the host and the engine can also communicate with any device on the same subnet than the host... so my thought is that there might be some incompatible parameter between pfsense and the host.... but then 'why did it work before the vdsm installation ? :-/ ). This last fact makes me think that it's a vdsm/nmstate/ethtool parameter that I have to tune... Any help would be much appreciated...

Creating snapshots of Windows VM result in Status Code: 500
by Jon Sattelberger 22 Dec '23

22 Dec '23

I receive a "Status Code: 500" popup whenever I attempt to create a snapshot for a Windows VM from the Administration Portal UI. It doesn't matter if the VM is powered on or off. Nor the OS designation set in the UI (setting Linux or Other...). The modal usually states: "Operation Canceled" followed by "Error while executing action: A Request to the Server failed with the following Status Code: 500" or "Error while executing query: null". There are at least a dozen popups, and will continue to repeat every few seconds. The snapshot tab in the Admin Portal UI will then have issues displaying the Active VM and the newly created snapshot entry. If you try to examine both entries, the disk, network, and installed applications might appear blank. The web inspector will usually contain the following: Fri Dec 22 09:43:07 GMT-500 2023 org.ovirt.engine.ui.frontend.Frontend SEVERE: Failed to execute runQuery: com.google.gwt.user.client.rpc.StatusCodeException: 500 Internal Server Error The call failed on the server; see server log for details com.google.gwt.user.client.rpc.StatusCodeException: 500 Internal Server Error The call failed on the server; see server log for details The engine logs will have: File: server.log 2023-12-22 09:43:04,387-05 ERROR [io.undertow.servlet] (default task-726) Exception while dispatching incoming RPC call: com.google.gwt.user.client.rpc.SerializationException: Can't find the serialization policy file.

How restore nodes ovirt UP from NonResponsive and VMs executing
by carlos.mendes＠mgo.cv 21 Dec '23

21 Dec '23

Hello, The node (ovirt2) however is having consistent problems. The follow sequence of events is reproducible and is causing the host to enter a "NonOperational" state on the cluster: * Host ovirt2 installed * VDSM ovirt2 command ConnectStorageServerVDS failed: Message timeout which can be caused by communication issues * Host ovirt2 is not responding. Host cannot be fenced automatically because power management for the host is disabled. * Host ovirt2 cannot access the Storage Domain(s) <UNKNOWN> attached to the Data Center DataCenter1. Setting Host state to Non-Operational. (5/27/1912:43:22 PM) * (Banner appears in GUI) Failed Activating Host ovirt2.witsconsult.com * Failed to connect Host ovirt2 to Storage Pool DataCenter1 (5/27/1912:47:07 PM) * Host ovirt2 cannot access the Storage Domain(s) <UNKNOWN> attached to the Data Center DataCenter1. Setting Host state to Non-Operational. (5/27/1912:47:07 PM) * Host ovirt2 is not responding. Host cannot be fenced automatically because power management for the host is disabled. (5/27/1912:47:07 PM) * VDSM ovirt2 command ConnectStorageServerVDS failed: Message timeout which can be caused by communication issues (5/27/1912:47:07 PM) I can then re-activate ovirt2, which appears as green for approximately 5 minutes and then repeats all of the above issues. What can I do to troubleshoot this?

iSCSI Storage Domain Issues - Please Help
by Matthew J Black 20 Dec '23

20 Dec '23

Hi Guys & Gals, So I've been researching this issue online for a couple of days now and I can't seem to find a solution - so I'm hoping you kind people here can help. We're running oVirt (on Rocky 8, at the moment) with a iSCSI back-end provided by Ceph (Quincy, for the record). Everything from the Ceph-end looks AOK. However, none of the oVirt Hosts (and therefore the VMs) can connect to the Ceph iSCSI RBD Images (oVirt Storage Domains), and only one or two of the Hosts can log into the Ceph iSCSI Target - the others throw a "Failed to setup iSCSI subsystem" error. All of the existing iSCSI Storage Domains are in Maintenance mode, and when I try to do *anything* to them the logs spit out a "Storage domain does not exist:" message. I also cannot create a new iSCSI Storage Domain for a new Ceph pool - again, oVirt simply won't/can't see it, even though it clearly visable in the iSCSI section of the Ceph Dashboard (and in gwcli on the Ceph Nodes). All of this started happening after I ran an update of oVirt - including an "engine setup" with a full engine-vacuum. Nothing has changed on the Ceph-end. So I'm looking for help on 2 issues, which or may not be related: 1) Is there a way to "force" oVirt Hosts to log into iSCSI targets? This will mean all of the oVirt Hosts will be connected to all of the Ceph iSCSI Gateways. 2) I'm thinking that *somehow* the existing "Storage Domains" registered in oVirt have become orphaned, so they need to be "cleaned up" - is there a cli way to do this (I don't mind digging into SQL as I'm an old SQL engineer/admin from way back). Thoughts on how to do this - and if it should be done at all? Or should I simple detach the Storage Domain images from the relevant VMs and destroy the Storage Domains, recreate them (once I can get the oVirt Hosts to log back into the Ceph iSCSI Gateways), and then reattach the relevant images to the relevant VMs? I mean, after all, the data is good and available on the Ceph SAN, so there is only a little risk (as far as I can see) - but there are a *hell* of a lot of VMs to do to do this :-) Anyway, any and all help, suggestions, gotchas, etc, etc, etc, are welcome. :-) Cheers Dulux-Oz

help: Hosted-engine lost data and how to recover vm config to deploy new cluster
by Pandey, Shreyas 15 Dec '23

15 Dec '23

Hi ovirt team, There are couple of questions I am struggling to get answers for. We have ovirt cluster setup on two servers. 1) The cluster went down and upon troubleshooting we noticed the hosted engine is not able to restart. [root@j3sv7sr01ctr01 ~]# hosted-engine --vm-status The hosted engine configuration has not been retrieved from shared storage yet, please ensure that ovirt-ha-agent service is running. [root@j3sv7sr01ctr01 ~]# ovirt-ha-agent and ovirt-ha-broker both are failing because of storage related issue. The glusterfs volume which is being used by hosted-engine doesnt have the hosted engine related configuration. [root@j3sv7sr01ctr01 ~]# cd /rhev/data-center/mnt/glusterSD/ [root@j3sv7sr01ctr01 glusterSD]# ls 10.52.60.131:_j3sv7sr01datastore3 [root@j3sv7sr01ctr01 glusterSD]# cd 10.52.60.131\:_j3sv7sr01datastore3/ [root@j3sv7sr01ctr01 10.52.60.131:_j3sv7sr01datastore3]# [root@j3sv7sr01ctr01 10.52.60.131:_j3sv7sr01datastore3]# ls -al total 1 drwxr-xr-x 4 vdsm kvm 95 Dec 12 20:26 . drwxr-xr-x 3 vdsm kvm 47 Dec 13 19:16 ..

Is there anyway to recover the cluster from this state?

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?

Move SHE to a LUN on another storage appliance
by Colin Coe 12 Dec '23

12 Dec '23

Hi all I'm decommissioning an old SAN that holds our DEV/TST RHV instance. I'm following https://access.redhat.com/solutions/6529691 (How to move the Hosted-Engine storage to a new storage domain) and I'm on step 9 (Make sure that the self-hosted engine is shut down). hosted-engine --vm-status is reporting: hosted-engine --vm-status | grep -E 'Engine status|Hostname' Engine status : {"vm": "up", "health": "good", "detail": "Up"} Hostname : rhvh01.example.com Engine status : {"vm": "down_unexpected", "health": "bad", "detail": "unknown", "reason": "vm not running on this host"} Hostname : rhvh02.example.com Even though the vm is definitely shut down. The instructions say call Red Hat but its nearly 6PM and we only have standard support for this environment. Any ideas on how to resolve this? I'm not sure if it's a big issue but I don't want to cause myself more problems later. Thanks

Migrate Hosted-Engine to different cluster
by Michaal R 12 Dec '23

12 Dec '23

I know this question pops up on a regular with this forum, but my best search engine manipulation turned up only to back up the engine configuration to a shared storage, then restore it on the other cluster using hosted-engine --deploy --restore-from-file=backup.tar.gz. While this is workable (it's by no means the end of the world for me), I wanted to ask if a different or better way has been or will be implemented. Here's why: I am trying to move to oVirt from ESXi (the latter has outgrown its usefulness to me and has become increasingly more difficult to maintain for my purposes, as VMware is intent on pushing newer CPU technologies with each new version, leaving perfectly good systems with perfectly good processors and hardware out in the cold. On top of that, VMware won't let you easily do vGPU or GPU passthrough without significant risk to the system stability.). I started with a VM on the ESXi host as a proof-of-concept for setting up and configuring oVirt to run the hosted engine and a couple of VMs. This worked after some great work from the members here on the forum (shout out to Tomas and Arik!). This initial cluster is an Intel CPU based cluster, as the server its VM is running on is an R720. This is the server I need to migrate off of (I have a plan). So I set up in VMware Workstation on my PC a second host in its own cluster (as that machine is an AMD CPU machine). Now, I know I can't live migr ate between clusters to begin with, but I was hoping there was an easier way to move the hosted-engine to the shared NAS storage, put the hosted-engine in maintenance mode, shut it down, change a variable or three with the --set-shared-config option (if that applies), run some script on the other host that starts the hosted-engine on that host in that cluster, bringing it out of maintenance mode automatically once up and verified stable. I understand that process COULD be slower and more fraught with danger than just simply backing up the config to shared storage and deploying on the AMD host with the restored config, but on the off-chance it ISN'T I wanted to explore that possibility. Besides, it would be a nice feature of the hosted-engine and oVirt as a whole if you could eventually right-click the hosted-engine VM in the portal and click "Move to new cluster...", which would automate that entire process for you. All that said, I'm working on one last problematic VM import before I start the arduous process of pulling everything off of ESXi and reformatting the R720 for oVirt. Hopefully that goes smoother than my start with oVirt. :)

ovirt node NonResponsive
by carlos.mendes＠mgo.cv 12 Dec '23

12 Dec '23

Hello, I have ovirt with two nodes and one that are NonResponsive and and cant manage them because they are in Unknown state. It seems that nodes lost connection for a while with their gateway. The node (ovirt2) however is having consistent problems. The follow sequence of events is reproducible and is causing the host to enter a "NonOperational" state on the cluster: What is the proper way of restoring management? I have a two-node cluster with the ovirt manager running standlone on the virtual maachine CentOS-Stream-9 and the ovirt node running the most recent oVirt Node 4.5.4 software. I can then re-activate ovirt2, which appears as green for approximately 5 minutes and then repeats all of the above issues. What can I do to troubleshoot this?
