Items to be repaired entries
by ziyi Liu
One of my hosts is faulty and needs to be replaced with a good one. The new host uses the same host name as the old host and the same backend storage name.
The recovery process is as follows:
1. Delete the storage volume of the faulty host and the storage volume of the arbitration node.
2. Use the glusterfs ansble script to restore the faulty host. (Create partitions and join peer nodes)
3. Add the storage volume of the new host
4. Wait for data recovery
During the data recovery process, it is always stuck at Items to be repaired entries
How should I deal with these items

Barebone Hosted Engine Deployment fails
by kevin＠kllmnn.de
Hey people, I hope someone can help me identify if there's something I'm doing wrong or if there's a bug.
Originally I wanted to re-deploy my self-hosted engine, as it is still on version 4.5.5 with CentOS 8, and therefore can't be updated anymore.
To get a fresh backup of the currently running config I did the following:
1. On physical host `hosted-engine --set-maintenance --mode=global`
2. On engine VM `systemctl stop ovirt-engine` and then
3. `engine-backup --scope=all --mode=backup --file=/mnt/ovirt-engine-backup/ovirt-engine-4.5.5-backup.bck --log=/mnt/ovirt-engine-backup/ovirt-engine-4.5.5-backup.log` (where `/mnt/ovirt-engine-backup/` is a NFS share)
4. On physical host `hosted-engine --vm-shutdown`
Then I set up a new physical host with CentOS 9 Stream (Build 20250320), enabled and installed the oVirt repository as mentioned at https://www.ovirt.org/download/install_on_rhel.html, then ran:
`hosted-engine --deploy --4 --restore-from-file=/mnt/ovirt-engine-backup/ovirt-engine-4.5.5-backup.bck` (of course mounting the NFS share prior to this).
But after giving it all the information it needed it fails after 15-20 minutes with several errors in the logfile, which I cannot identify the primary/root cause of.
The first error that appears is this one:

I also tried with a completely clean deployment, without restoring from backup (once without and once with using `ovirt-hosted-engine-cleanup` in between). The errors in the log are completely the same.
Also I tried to use the oVirt Node master experimental ISO (`ovirt-node-ng-installer-4.5.6-2025031111.c9s.iso`), same issue.
Does the problem lie somewhere in my answers for the questions asked by the tool? I cannot identify giving any wrong info.
Can someone maybe reproduce the issue?

Re: not able to upload disks, iso - Connection to ovirt-imageio service has failed. Ensure that ovirt-engine certificate is registered as a valid CA in the browser.
by Mostafa Md Arefin
Observed in 3rd party Firewall monitoring log files that during the Test
Connection, the PC Client is trying to reach the
Engine Portal in port 54322, instead of 54323 (Image I/O Proxy)
Confirmed in engine-config, that ImageTransferProxyEnabled is set to False.
SOLUTION
To confirm that the ImageTransferProxyEnabled is set to "false", login in
the OLVM Engine Host/VM as root, and execute
the following command:
# engine-config -g ImageTransferProxyEnabled
Picked up JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS: -Dcom.redhat.fips=false
ImageTransferProxyEnabled: false version: general <<< set to false
To enable the Image I/O Proxy and restart the ovirt-engine and
ovirt-imageio services perform the following as root:
# engine-config -s ImageTransferProxyEnabled=true
Picked up JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS: -Dcom.redhat.fips=false
ImageTransferProxyEnabled: true version: general <<< set to true
# systemctl restart ovirt-engine
# systemctl restart ovirt-imageio

network out of sync
by Nathanaël Blanchet
Hi,
After reinstalling ovirt hosts with alma Linux 9, all my hosts are out
of sync on the management bridge. I tried to sync them, but it has no
effects. Then I tried "static" and "DHCP" but it has no effect as well.
I precise that I was using ovirt node 4.5.5 el9, and the bug wasn't
present.
It seems to be a bug because, network is okay and there is no other
issue using alamlinux 9.5 with latest vdsmd.
Thank you for helping.

Problem with deleting snapshot - no responging VM
by Urbanski.r＠gmail.com
Hello,
I have ovirt-engine version 4.5.6-1.el9, and nodes version 4.5.5.
We have about 200 VMs in the environment. So far, backups were performed using snapshot + ovirt API + AWX.
The problem started when during backup some machines became unresponsive (it was impossible to get to the console and it happened randomly), Prellocated disks became ThinkProvisioning and it was not possible to delete the snapshot.
We decided to skip all scripts and click the snapshot directly in ovirt-engine and then delete it in order to merge.
In many cases, these tasks ended successfully, and in random situations the process hung again and the machine became unresponsive.
I thought..... maybe it was a performance problem (network to the array, the array itself, etc.). So we set up the dev environment on different hardware (different physical servers and different hardware with ISCSI). I copied one of the sample machines that had problems. I made a snapshot again and merged it using deleting from the ovirt-engine interface. It worked a few times and I decided to do another test
I made a snapshot of the test VM and logged into it and used a file about 16GB in size and additionally copied it to another place on the disk and then tried to merge the snapshot and again the VM became unresponsive and it was impossible to delete the snapshot.
Has anyone encountered such a problem and has a way to solve it?
I am attaching the logs from /var/log/ovirt-engine/engine.log

Unable to set up host bond networks
by erik＠linux.com
Hi
We are trying to create a cluster using OLVM 4.5 (with an up to date
OEL8 kernel) with a bond of 2 virtual interfaces (mode 2 XOR) that we
have set up with NetworkManager prior to adding the KVM host to oVirt.
Hosts are added successfully and we can see the two physical NICs
(eth0/eth1) in the Setup Host Networks dialog, however the bond0 device
is hidden as are the virtual slave interfaces (so we cannot create the
bond in oVirt either).
It appears the bond0 is sent to oVirt by VDSM as we see it is
continually sent in the vdsm log file from the host as well as listed
in the capabilities using vdsm-client. We didn't find obvious errors in
ovirt-engine.log or in host-deploy or in the vdsm logs on the KVM hosts.
We assume there is some validation or filtering oVirt uses that is
hiding the bond / slave interfaces and that maybe our slave interfaces
are missing some property oVirt wants but we cannot find it in the code
in order to work around this - any pointers appreciated.
Thanks
Erik

How to modify the MAC address of a bonding interface after changing the nic card
by wodel youchi
Hi,
ovirt 4.4 on centos 8.
We have changed the network card of a hypervisor which uses bonding
interface.
The bonding interface still uses the old MAC address of the former slave
interface.
We tried to modify it via CLI but it didn't work, as soon as the node
(hypervisor) is activated, the old MAC is reestablished.
it seems to be backed up somewhere.
Should we reinstall the host?
Regards.
