Setting up hyperconverged engine with gluster storage
by Andy Michielsen
Hello,
I'm setting up a new oVirt environment version 4.5 and want to use the
hyperconverged setup on gluster storage.
When I configure all the parameters and start the installation it keeps on
failing and I don't know why
TASK [gluster.infra/roles/backend_setup : Group devices by volume group
name, including existing devices] ***
fatal: [server1.test.local]: FAILED! => {"msg": "The task includes an

line 3, column 3, but may\nbe elsewhere in the file depending on the exact

Can't log on into my engine : keystore was tampered with, or password was incorrect
by Andy Michielsen
Hello,
I had an issue on my oVirt 4.3 environment that the certificate was
expired. Which I understand was not smart but now it's to late to update
them.
I found some information on how to fix that but the more I tried the more I
got confused and the further I think I got from solving this.
So I took a full backup and started a new installation off my engine on a
centos 8 stream and oVirt 4.5.
After I did the complete installation it worked fine but with a clean
environment and I really wanted to restore my current setup. So I did a
engine-cleanup and a restore off the full backup.
I think it went fine. but when I log into the engine I get the message
keystore was tampered with, or password was incorrect even before I try to
log in.
Why is it telling me this And how can I figure this out and
solve it ?
Kind regards.

Problem after upgrading oVirt
by Andy Michielsen
Hello all,
I'm struggling with an issue with my oVirt environment and I seem not to be
able to figure this one out on my own and am hoping you can point me in on
the right track.
My old oVirt 4.3 environment's certifcat went expired. I thought I could
fix it by reading some tutorials but no luck so far.
Now I have upgraded my engine already to 4.5 and now I get the message
telling me this
"Keystore was tampered with, or password is incorrect"
Even before I can log on.
I'm looking through the ovirtengine.log but so far I haven't find why
exactly.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Kind regards.

Problem with update 4.4.3
by scrik787＠gmail.com
Good afternoon,
I have version 4.4.3 and want to upgrade to at least 4.4.10
but I am facing this error:
[root@ovirt1 ~]# yum update
Failed to set locale, defaulting to C.UTF-8

I tried these options, but the error did not go away. How can I update? I don't use GlusterFS. I use ISCSI:
