Re: [External] : Importing VMs from CentOS 8 Streams to Oracle 8.9 oVirt (QXL issues)
by Gilboa Davara
Hello,
Thanks for the prompt reply.
Can I somehow modify the VM configuration on disk (v5 data storage on an
NFS share) before importing the VM (using Storage domain / NFS / VM import).
Alternatively can I somehow get OLVM to ignore the error when trying to
import the VM, and use the UI to switch VGA/VNC?

Importing VMs from CentOS 8 Streams to Oracle 8.9 oVirt (QXL issues)
by Gilboa Davara
Hello all,
I'm evaluating switching our existing oVirt clusters to Oracle Linux 8
oVirt 4.5.
It seems that Oracle has completely disabled QXL/Spice (leaving only VGA
and Cirrus) on their oVirt fork (1).
I'm trying to import a VM from an existing oVirt data storage into an
Oracle cluster, but I'm getting
'VAR__ACTION__IMPORT,VAR__TYPE__VM,ACTION_TYPE_FAILED_ILLEGAL_VM_DISPLAY_TYPE_IS_NOT_SUPPORTED_BY_OS'
error.
Comparing the spice-related packages in Oracle and CentOS based oVirt
installation, I see no changes.
Two questions:
1. Can I somehow enable QXL support in Oracle oVirt?
2. Assuming I can't, can I somehow editing the VM configuration without
mounting in a temporary CentOS based cluster, editing the configuration and
reimporting it into Oracle?
Thanks,
Gilboa

Ovirt Host Machine Use Case
by Muhesh Kumar
Hi Everyone,
Initially, In ovirt host machine qemu-kvm is running in 5901,5902,5903,5904,5906 and 5907. But suddenly, It has now running with additional ports 5900 and 5905. Can anyone know why this kind of ports ovirt is newly adding without any actions taking in machines. I Didn't restart any services in host machines.

Ovirt standalone engine ssl cert is about to expire
by Bogdan Dumitrescu
Need some help with the renewal of the ssl certificate (I believe it is a self-signed cert )that is about to expire in a month, this is a standalone ovirt engine running software Version:4.3.4.3-1.el7. The certificate was good for 5 years and it is about to expire.
As I understand correctly, this certificate is for the https access for the management page.
Can this be done on a running system without affecting any hosts or VMs?
Any instructions for the standalone ovirt engine scenario that you guys can share?
Thanks a lot,
Software Version:4.3.4.3-1.el7

i can't access console with noVNC or VNC client(console.vv)
by z84614242＠163.com
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

Migrating Engine to a new host
by Fabrice Bacchella
To upgrade both hardware and software for the engine, I will move it to a different physical server, with a different hostname.
The HTTP interface to manage it is handled by my own PKI, so I managed it myself and don’t request help from oVirt.
But I wonder if there is other trap that I will need to check. Will old hosts accept communication for a new engine once I will have migrated the database ?

stomp timeout in org.ovirt.vdsm.jsonrpc.client.reactors.ReactorClient
by Chris Smith
Hi all,
I'm randomly getting this in the engine logs;
These times are UTC+1 so are different to the ovirt host logs.
2024-05-06 21:10:47,238+01 ERROR

and I'm trying to debug why it can't connect.
The vdsm logs on the ovirt host don't give me many clues about what's
happening. I see the stomp requests;
These times are UTC;
2024-05-06 20:10:51,807+0000 INFO (Reactor thread)

but there's nothing around these entries to tell me what's causing the
timeout.
Is there a script or command I can run to simulate what's happening here to
try and figure out what's going on?
Thanks,

oVirt 4.5.6 + Windows 11 + TPM oddness
by Daniel Henninger
Hi folk,
I'm running into a very bizarre situation. To start with, I am able to install Windows 11 perfectly fine, with or without Secure Boot enabled, and the TPM appears to function regardless. From the Windows OS itself, I can confirm that Get-TPM, tpm.msc, windows security, etc all show that the TPM looks happy and healthy and well received.
However -- the system logs are absolutely flooded with the following error:
The initialization of the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) failed. The TPM may be in failure mode. To allow diagnosis, contact the TPM manufacturer with the attached information.
And this appears to correlate with SCCM being unable to properly set up a client certificate and register. But I am not exagerating when I say it's flooding the logs -- I am currently staring at a system log with 668 log entries, 97% of which are the same TPM error repeated.
Does anyone have any ideas what might be going on or have seen this before? I'm running out of ideas. =/ Thanks!
