Veeam - Move data over other network than ovirtmgmt
by domien.vanrompaey＠dynamate.be 18 Jun '25

18 Jun '25

Hi all I was wondering if anyone managed to get Veeam working with a dedicated backup VLAN instead of sending traffic over the ovirtmgmt interface. We have an OLVM setup (version 4.5.5-1.42.el8) with 3 hosts in 1 cluster for now. Each host has a 1Gbps NIC pair in a seperate management LAN that is only used for ovirtmgmt Each host also has a 10Gbps NIC Bond where all the VLAN's are trunked including a dedicated Backup VLAN. The hosts do not have an IP in this Backup VLAN configured (is this needed?) Each host also has 2 NICs dedicated to storage backend (iSCSI Multipathing) Our Veeam Appliance and workers are setup in the Backup VLAN and they can communicate with the backup repository that is also in this VLAN. When we take a backup, however, we see that the ovirtmgmt network is maxed out on trafic, which probably shouldn't happen. We come from a VMWare environment where the backup proxies handle all the trafic through the backup VLAN without relying on the management network and I was expecting it to work similarly Has anyone managed to get this working as I envision it? Or is the solution to simply link ovirtmgmt to the 10Gbps bond and skip the dedicated mgmt networking? I've also opened a ticket with Veeam for this, but for now I'm just getting questions from them and no real answers. If I get a useful solution from them I will also post it here

ovirt-hosted-engine deploy hangs
by bleuze＠enkon.com 02 Jun '25

02 Jun '25

This is on a brand new Oracle Linux ver8.10 install on a physical server. I have completed all the perquisite steps in the instructions at https://docs.oracle.com/en/virtualization/oracle-linux-virtualization-manag… I run the deployment script: hosted-engine --deploy --4 Answer all the questions and let it run. It runs for about an hour and then hangs at the step: [ INFO ] TASK [ovirt.ovirt.hosted_engine_setup : Create temporary lock file] [ INFO ] changed: [localhost -> localhost] [ INFO ] TASK [ovirt.ovirt.hosted_engine_setup : Pause execution until /tmp/ansible.yo6aij1p_he_setup_lock is removed, delete it once ready to proceed] The first time I let it run all night and it was still hung in the morning. I have tried this using the cli command above. I have also tried it using the cockput gui method, both procedures hang at the same place. I have to run /usr/sbin/ovirt-hosted-engine-cleanup after each failure before trying again I can't find any clues in the logs but perhaps someone can tell me what to look for. I am happy to post the logs here as well. I assume this is at the point where the temporary Self Hosted engine has been created and is ready to be migrated to the shared storage. The lock placed there until it is successfully moved. But the instructions say that I should be prompted for the "storage you would like to use" I don't get that promtp. It is hung somewhere before it gets to that stage. What I do know is that the temporary Self hosted engines is created because I can ssh into and login as root Next I will try again but this time use the --ansible-extra-vars option to fill in all the variables at the beginning. I don't know what else to try

Potential CentosStream 9 resilientstorage repo issues
by lmd＠gto.net 26 May '25

26 May '25

Good Morning! I wanted to report that I think there are issues with CentOS Stream 9 ResilientStorage repos (added by package "ovirt-release-ovirt45" and also enabled in the hosted-engine appliance) that causes anything related to DNF and this repo to fail as captured below. Digging in, it looks like centos.org is advertising a metalink.xml (at least for my Toronto, Ontario location) that is timetamped 1747062205 (Monday, May 12, 2025 3:03:25 PM GMT). Mirrors are not in good shape: * centos.org themselves are advertising a repomd.xml for ResilientStorage with timestamp 1747752818 (Tuesday, May 20, 2025 2:53:38 PM) * ca.mirrors.cicku.me are advertising an identical repomd.xml of centos.org * mirror.cpsc.ucalgary.ca is advertisting a 0-byte repomd.xml * mirrors.lug.mtu.edu is advertising an old repomd.xml of timestamp 1744645925 (Monday, April 14, 2025 3:52:05 PM) The SHA512 sum of all published repomd.xml files does not match metalink, therefore all mirrors fail. I haven't tried to exclude the repo from the HE but I wanted to post a note here in case someone else is running into this. I anticipate that Centos.org will fix this at some point, but based on dates it could be that this has been broken for ~3 days already (2025-May-20 2:53PM GMT). I am not sure where to post to raise awareness with CentOS.org or the group responsible for the ResilientStorage repo. If someone knows please let me know - or if someone on the oVirt team could notify a contact, I would be obliged if you could let them know.

Hi Glenn, The playbooks are not compatible with newer ansible versions, try downgrading the ansible/ansible-core package in use. Or you can go deeper and review the playbooks to make it compatible with the ansible version in use.

Hi Domien, Good to see some Belgian's here ;) Afaik Oracle added CPU types (like the AMD Genoa) based on our patch upstream: https://github.com/oVirt/ovirt-engine/pull/978/files So you should be able to select AMD Genoa as CPU type within oVirt. What error you have when choosing that CPU type? Or you can't choose it or ?

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.

Barebone Hosted Engine Deployment fails
by kevin＠kllmnn.de 12 May '25

12 May '25

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.

Re: [External] : How to modify the MAC address of a bonding interface after changing the nic card
by luc.lalonde＠polymtl.ca 10 May '25

10 May '25

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 08 May '25

08 May '25

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 -- Att, Jorge Visentini +55 55 98432-9868

oVirt 4.5: Ansible Self-hosted deployment never created ovirtmgmt bridge
by Pham, Alex 07 May '25

07 May '25

Hello Everyone, I am attempting to install a oVirt Self-hosted engine deployment on a HPE G10 DL360 Server. I am running into a strange issue where the ovirtmgmt bridge is not being created successfully, I have attempted to install around 8 times now and it always gets stuck at the same point: 1. oVirt deploy attempts to create the ovirtmgmt bridge. 2. ovirtmgmt bridge is not created. 3. Deployment fails while waiting for VM to be up. I am attempting the deployment using the ovirt.ovirt collection and the hosted_engine_setup role where the host is set to localhost. The strange thing is I have used this same ansible script and it's accompanying configurations to install oVirt Successfully on this server previously but it is failing after I have performed a cleanup and attempted a reinstallation.

I am attempting to perform an oVirt self-hosted deployment but it is failing while waiting for the VM to be up because the ovirtmgmt bridge is not being created. I have attempted the install about 8 times now and it fails with the same error every time. ovirtmgmt bridge is not created and it waits for VM to be up until it times out. I am performing the oVirt deployment using the ansible collection ovirt.ovirt with role hosted_engine_setup. ansible-playbook engineDeploy.yml --extra-vars='@./engineconfig.json' --extra-vars='@./enginePasswords.yml' The strange thing is, I had previously successfully installed oVirt on this server using the same engineDeploy.yml and same engineconfig.json and enginePasswords.yml.

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-ex… 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

Do we have RV tool for ovirt similar to vcenter. Trying to fetch VM, Host information and its metadata information.

Hi, I am trying to fetch vms,hosts and other component information for reference purpose. However seems like RV tool does not support ovirt. So checking if we have any other way to fetch those information in one api call. Tried builtin grafana but it does not give host information where vm resides.
