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. When I try to upload ISO this is what engine.log logs: 2023-04-08 11:00:28,339+02 INFO [org.ovirt.engine.core.bll.storage.disk.image.TransferImageStatusCommand] (default task-2) [f6b62add-0a0c-45ee-a985-a76171843382] Running command: TransferImageStatusCommand internal: false.

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

Host deploy failure: Configure OVN for oVirt
by stephan.badenhorst＠fnb.co.za 05 Jan '25

05 Jan '25

Good day, I am running into a problem during host deploy via the oVirt engine GUI since upgrading to ovirt-engine-4.5.5-1.el8. The "Configure OVN for oVirt" task seem to fail when trying to run the vdsm-tool ovn-config command. Host deploy used to work fine when the engine was on version 4.5.4. Anyone that can guide me on the right path to get past this issue? Does not seem to be a new problem - https://lists.ovirt.org/archives/list/users@ovirt.org/thread/IDLGSBQFX35EHH… Log extract: 2024-02-01 14:48:19 SAST - TASK [ovirt-provider-ovn-driver : Configure OVN for oVirt] ********************* . . .

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

Hello, running ovirt Version 4.5.4-1.el8 on Centos 8, randomly we have this error: VM has been paused due to no Storage space error. We have plenty of space on the iSCSI storage.
