Re: Ovirt Hyperconverged Storage
by Thomas Hoberg
And I might have misread where your problems actually are...
Because oVirt was born on SAN but tries to be storage agnostic, it creates its own overlay abstraction, a block layer that is then managed within oVirt even when you use NFS or GlusterFS underneath.
"The ISO domain" has actually been deprecated and ISO images can be put into any domain type (e.g. also data).
But they still have to be uploaded to that domain via the management engine GUI, you can't just copy the ISO images somewhere within the files and directories oVirt might create and expect them to be visible to the GUI or the VMs.

Re: Ovirt Hyperconverged Storage
by Thomas Hoberg
Hi Tim,
HA, HCI and failover either require or at least benefit from consistent storage.
The original NFS reduce the risk of inconsistency to single files, Gluster puts the onus of consistency mostly the clients and I guess Ceph is similar.
iSCSI has been described as a bit the worst of everything in storage and I can appreciate that view in a HA scenario because it doesn't help with consistency.
Of course, its block layer abstraction isn't really that different from SAN or NFS 4.x object storage.
I last experimented with iSCSI 20 years ago, mostly because it seemed so great for booting even less cooperative diskless hosts than Sun workstations over the network.
But if I had a reliable TrueNAS and wanted to run oVirt, I'd just go with NFS.
AFAIK oVirt was born on SAN but with SAN outside of oVirt's purvue. So if your iSCSI setup behaves like a SAN, oVirt should be easy to get going, but I've never tried myself.
And the lack of tried and tested tutorials or videos from 20 different sources might be the reason oVirt didn't quite push out everybody else.

Oracle Virtualization Manager 4.5 anyone?
by Thomas Hoberg
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.

VMs don't receive unicast packets, can't reach gateway, don't get ARP responses.
by jeff.parrish＠dentsu.com
Hey All,
I'm reaching out because I'm working on a PoC ovirt setup, and running into some networking issues from my VMs that I just have not been able to nail down or figure out.
Setup:
Three Hypervisors running on the ovirt image, one NIC on each is connected to a trunk port on our data network, the other is connected to our storage network.
I'm just running a basic test setup with three logical networks - ovirtmgmt, stroage, vm_network the vNics have no network filtering enabled, I have disabled and stopped firewalld on the hypervisors as well. ovirtmgmt and storage have IPs on the hypervisor, vm_network does not have an IP (Thought I did try it with no difference.)
I currently just have three VMs running since it's a PoC, one on each host - they are all connected to the vm_network, and all are unable to reach their gateway (a linux device), and unable to reach each other unless they are on the same hypervisor - this is the main issue I'm dealing with.
Investigation done so far:
Running a ping from the VM to the Gateway IP and capturing data along the flow gives me this:
If I run a tcpdump on the hypervisor I can see ARP requests being broadcasted on the correct interface (vm_network, vnet0) from the VM looking for the gateway, however I never see any ARP response from the gateway on the hypervisor, and the VMs never update their arp table and never actually attempt to send any ICMP packets.
If I run a tcpdump on the gateway device, I can see ARP requests from the VM coming in, and I can see the gateway giving a unicast ARP reply - again I never see that arp reply on the hypervisor, and I never see it reach the VM.
Now where it gets a little bit interesting at least.
if I run an arping from the gateway device to the VM - I get a response from the VM on the broadcast arp, but I do not get any responses (or see any traffic on the hypervisor) when it moves to a unicast arp probe ping. After doing this the VM will also update it's ARP table with the gateway. If I attempt to ping the gateway from the VM after this, it will send ICMP packets, which do reach the gateway, the gateway does respond... but just like all other unicast things I never see that response on the hypervisor, and it never reaches the VM. (This only lasts for a short period of time until the VM fails to get a new ARP response and removes the entry from the arp table.)
There is no firewall setup on the gateway that would prevent any of this traffic, and everything with that gateway, vlan, and IPs work just fine outside of ovirt.
The behavior between VMs (on different hypervisors) is exactly the same as VM to Gateway. Where arp requests go out, the VM on a different hypervisor will see and respond to the arp broadcast request, but I never see that unicast ARP reply make it to a tcpdump on the hypervisor.
TLDR:
Broadcast traffic reaches the VMs, unicast packets from the VM reach their destination (If they have a record for them in their arp table), unicast replies and unicast requests to the VMs never even show up in a tcpdump on the hypervisor. No firewalls in place to explain any of these issues.
I am sure I likely screwed something up during the configuration of this, but I don't see my mistake anywhere

hosted-engine --deploy - trigger storage rescan
by Angus Clarke
Hello
OLVM 4.5 - SHE install
Our storage guy messed up the FC storage allocation -> when the SHE install got to ask about storage for the hosted_engine the expected LUN was not in the list.
It took the process around an hour to get to this point so I didn't want to restart from the beginning, found that issuing a SIGHUP to the python3 process from another screen made it drop back to asking about storage again and went on to list the correctly provisioned LUNs - very useful but I didn't find mention of it in the man pages; sharing for prosperity.
Regards
Angus

Re: Migration fails after upgrading target host to oVirt Node 4.5.5

Thanks for your response! I guess my path will be to migrate to el9 ovirt-node then.

Migration fails after upgrading target host to oVirt Node 4.5.5
by jonas＠rabe.ch
Hello all
After upgrading one node from 4.5.4 to 4.5.5 the migration fails on some of the VMs. I believe the error is with qemu-kvm according to the logs below.
Downgrading the packages seems not to be possible with oVirt Node, the only solution so far was rebooting back to 4.5.4 (thanks to imgbase). I also think it is related to https://lists.ovirt.org/archives/list/users@ovirt.org/thread/GGMEGFI4OGZ5..., but that thread is already several months old. Has someone had the same experience and found a solution?
Packages:
Before (4.5.4):
- `current_layer: ovirt-node-ng-4.5.4-0.20221206.0+1`
- Kernel: 4.18.0-408.el8.x86_64

- ovirt-host.x86_64: 4.5.0-3.el8
After (4.5.5):
- `current_layer: ovirt-node-ng-4.5.5-0.20231130.0+1`
- Kernel: 4.18.0-526.el8.x86_64

oVirt 4.5.6
by tasnadi.peter＠kifu.gov.hu
Hi,
When updating HE I noticed that version 4.5.6 is available, but on this link the 4.5.6 ISO NG image is not available.
https://resources.ovirt.org/pub/ovirt-4.5/iso/ovirt-node-ng-installer/
Even when updating the oVirt node, version 4.5.6 is not available.
The oVirt node was installed using the ng installer.
These versions have always been released once.
What is the reason for this?
Can I upgrade HE to 4.5.6 regardless?
Could the version difference be a problem?
Thanks for the help!
