Re: [External] : build ovirt in docker container
by Jorge Visentini
So... I don't know where this link comes from and if it is being used for
any functionality or purpose.
https://quay.io/organization/ovirt
Regarding orchestration, I think it is too early to decide. It could even
be ansible with docker or podman... similar to kolla-ansible for osp.
Anyway, these are just my ramblings.

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:
```

```
The full log is available here: https://filebin.net/dimi5g2o6q20t4aj
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?

Standalone Engine restore to Rocky Linux 9
by KSNull Zero
Hello!
There are a lot of errors regarding legacy cipher while restoring engine backup to RL9 during our migration to 4.5.
2025-04-22 08:35:48,773+0300 DEBUG otopi.plugins.ovirt_engine_setup.ovirt_engine.pki.ca plugin.execute:923 execute-output: ('/usr/bin/openssl', 'pkcs12', '-in', '/etc/pki/ovirt-engine/keys/engine.p12', '-passin', 'pass:**FILTERED**', '-nokeys') stderr:

RHEL/RL 9 disables the legacy provider for security reasons.
What is the best way to solve this problem ?
Should i just enable legacy provider in OpenSSL config or re-sign all certs with new ciper (where can i find more information about this) ?
Thank you.

Re: [External] : How to modify the MAC address of a bonding interface after changing the nic card
by luc.lalonde＠polymtl.ca
We've had a similar experience after changing a network card our hypervisor nodes. If you use NMCLI to affect the changes like mentioned above, the hosted-engine will revert to the old settings upon a reboot of the nodes...
The only way to get around this in my experience is to make the networking changes from the hosted engine web interface:
Compute, Host, Node, Setup Host Networks.
If done this way, the changes become persistent...
Hope this helps!

build ovirt in docker container
by Jorge Visentini
hey...
Is it crazy of me to try to compile everything in a single (big) container,
or at least divide the closest services into containers?
Is there any initiative in this direction?
I swear, I didn't smoke anything to have this idea 🙏🤣
I ask this because I'm in the initial process of creating a build in rocky
linux 9.
By the way, if anyone has basic documentation for this porting from centos
9 stream to rl9, it would be very welcome.
Here we use Mellanox 3 and 4, and Emulex, so I need to standardize the
kernel to compile the drivers lol
many thanks

Ovirt 4.3 update to Ovirt 4.5 on alma8
by Pavel Šipoš
Hi,
I’m working on upgrading an oVirt 4.3 cluster to the latest 4.5 version.
So far, I’ve successfully performed a test upgrade of the oVirt Engine
from 4.3 (CentOS 7) to 4.4 (AlmaLinux 8.10).
I’ve encountered some noVNC issues, as described here:
https://forums.oracle.com/ords/apexds/post/olvm-manager-vm-console-novnc-...
I’ll probably leave this issue unresolved for now, as I’m planning to
continue with the upgrade process.
For the next step, I’d like to ask if anyone has experience installing
and running an oVirt 4.5 cluster (both engine and hosts) on AlmaLinux 8.x.
So far, it seems that I might need to upgrade the OS to AlmaLinux 9 as
well, possibly using ELevate.
If anyone has recently completed a similar migration, I’d really
appreciate any tips or recommendations.
Best regards,
Pavel
