Next major release of oVirt
by Diggy Mc 09 Jun '26

09 Jun '26

Is there an ETA for the next major release of oVirt? Has it entered beta testing yet? Any hint as to what OS and version will be used for the hosted-engine? Will there be Node ISOs released? Just wondering so I can plan ahead. We are planning on deploying a brand new infrastructure and then phase out our legacy infrastructure.

Failed to flush the refcount block cache: No space left on device
by Devin A. Bougie 22 Mar '26

22 Mar '26

We have an oVirt 4.5.6 cluster with a self-hosted engine and 92 virtual machines, and run a monthly cron job to snapshot and then clone each VM for disaster recovery. This works fine for 91 of our VMs, but recently started failing on our VM with the largest disks (two 3TB drives) with "Failed to flush the refcount block cache: No space left on device.” My reading of the error must be wrong, but it seems to be saying that storage domain "86867486-e14e-4ff4-bf7c-1b0c94816032” is filling up? This is the “Data (Master)” iSCSI domain that the VM’s disks are on, and the oVirt GUI says it has plenty of space: Size: 66559 GiB Available: 46359 GiB Used: 20200 GiB Allocated: 22589 GiB The operation fails while cloning the snapshot into a new VM. The new VM is created and the disks are successful created, but the clone fails after several hours. Neither the SPM host nor the host the operation is running on (the host the hosted-engine is running on) see any filesystems filling up from the underlying host OS. The full excerpt of the error from engine.log is below. I’d greatly appreciate any help determining what exactly is filling up and how to fix it. Many thanks, Devin PS. Please disregard my previous posts - been struggling to figure out exactly what’s going on. ——— 2026-03-19 21:40:05,508-04 INFO [org.ovirt.engine.core.bll.tasks.SPMAsyncTask] (EE-ManagedScheduledExecutorService-engineScheduledThreadPool-Thread-71) [] BaseAsyncTask::onTaskEndSuccess: Task '8eb13f96-8a66-4559-a0e8-c7ff109410f6' (Parent Command 'AddVmFromSnapshot', Parameters Type 'org.ovirt.engine.core.common.asynctasks.AsyncTaskParameters') ended successfully. 2026-03-19 21:40:05,508-04 INFO [org.ovirt.engine.core.bll.CommandMultiAsyncTasks] (EE-ManagedScheduledExecutorService-engineScheduledThreadPool-Thread-71) [] Task with DB Task ID '4e0cafe5-624a-410e-a2c4-d072c47e8571' and VDSM Task ID '5a7d25ac-1ab9-4f69-85a3-9e8e081857d3' is in state Polling.

Reclaim space from iSCSI storage domain
by Devin A. Bougie 20 Mar '26

20 Mar '26

We have an oVirt 4.5.6 cluster with a self-hosted engine with an iSCSI Data (Master) domain. The oVirt UI shows that it has plenty of space: Size: 66559 GiB Available: 46359 GiB Used: 20200 GiB Allocated: 22589 GiB When trying to create a new disk, however, we receive the errors below complaining that the Volume Group has insufficient free space. How can we safely reclaim this space, ideally without shutting down ever VM that’s using this storage domain? Although “multipath -ll” shows the underlying devices on the host machines, the normal “pvs / vgs / lvs” commands don’t see them.

I got a little further but just wanted to confirm a scenario. I realized part of my issue was due to having the volume mounted.

Reattach gluster brick after rebuilt hypervisor
by Jeremy Tourville 20 Mar '26

20 Mar '26

I have a gluster volume that was created using an older version 4.x of oVirt. This was so long ago I am not sure I remember how I did it except that I used the wizard and the built in ansible job. I recently rebuilt my system that is hyperconverged. The storage raid array (hardware backed) is in my hypervisor. The engine is a stand alone external device. I am now at ver 4.5.7 of Ovirt. I want to add my gluster brick back into the setup. I have reviewed the wiki notes but they presume a new build, not my scenario. From what I read and researched, I think I need to create a distributed brick. How do you do that with just a single system when there is no replication to other hosts? Can anyone share a general procedure? ##DIAGNOSTICS [root@vmh /]# mount ... /dev/mapper/gluster_vg_sda-gluster_lv_vmstore on /gluster_bricks/vmstore type xfs (rw,relatime,seclabel,attr2,inode64,logbufs=8,logbsize=256k,sunit=512,swidth=2048,noquota) [root@vmh /]# tail -n 1 /etc/fstab /dev/mapper/gluster_vg_sda-gluster_lv_vmstore /gluster_bricks/vmstore xfs defaults 0 0 [root@vmh /]# gluster volume create vmstore vmh.tourville.org:/gluster_bricks/vmstore volume create: vmstore: failed: The brick vmh.tourville.org:/gluster_bricks/vmstore is a mount point. Please create a sub-directory under the mount point and use that as the brick directory. Or use 'force' at the end of the command if you want to override this behavior. [root@vmh /]# gluster volume create vmstore vmh.tourville.org:/gluster_bricks/vmstore/vmstore volume create: vmstore: failed: /gluster_bricks/vmstore/vmstore is already part of a volume [root@vmh /]# tree /gluster_bricks/ /gluster_bricks/ └── vmstore └── vmstore └── 42c329c3-8eca-4748-af7a-f48aca494d72 ├── dom_md │ ├── ids │ ├── inbox │ ├── leases │ ├── metadata │ ├── outbox │ └── xleases ├── images │ ├── 019f828b-8f5d-47cf-bccd-7044402e7dd8 ... Do I need to force creation at this point? I just want to proceed cautiously at this point as I am not super confident with gluster. IE- [root@vmh /]# gluster volume create vmstore vmh.tourville.org:/gluster_bricks/vmstore force

hci setup with replica3 but one brick is not used
by Jiri Slezka 08 Mar '26

08 Mar '26

Hi, I am using distributed-replicated volume for vm's storage. There are 3 bricks (mounts on separate disks) in each of 3 hosts, so topology is 3x3 Volume Name: vms Type: Distributed-Replicate Volume ID: 52032ec6-99d4-4210-8fb8-ffbd7a1e0bf7 Status: Started Snapshot Count: 0 Number of Bricks: 3 x 3 = 9 Transport-type: tcp Bricks: Brick1: 10.0.4.11:/gluster_bricks/vms/vms Brick2: 10.0.4.13:/gluster_bricks/vms/vms Brick3: 10.0.4.12:/gluster_bricks/vms/vms Brick4: 10.0.4.11:/gluster_bricks/vms2/vms2 Brick5: 10.0.4.13:/gluster_bricks/vms2/vms2 Brick6: 10.0.4.12:/gluster_bricks/vms2/vms2 Brick7: 10.0.4.11:/gluster_bricks/vms3/vms3 Brick8: 10.0.4.12:/gluster_bricks/vms3/vms3 Brick9: 10.0.4.13:/gluster_bricks/vms3/vms3 I can see that bricks vms and vms2 are used but vms3 is almost (256MB vs hundreds of GBs) empty. In the fact I added vms3 bricks later and did not mention it because free volume space was reported (as I believed) correctly. Today I added one vm with 400GB disk and creating of disk failed because "OSError: [Errno 28] No space left on device". Now vms and vms2 bricks are full but vms volume has (should have) 914GiB of free space. I cannot see nothing interesting in glusterfs logs, glusterfs volume info and status looks good. There are errors in engine and vdsm logs but as can I see, it is just because of lack of space (vdsm side) and because image creation failed (engine side) Also as side effect, vms volume is full and disk from that new vm is locked (I would like to delete it). Any ideas what can be wrong or where to look and how to debug? Thanks in advance, Jiri

oVirt offline install
by Ethan Provensen 26 Feb '26

26 Feb '26

For the last 3-4 months, I have been trying to install oVirt on 3 bare metal servers with 1 SAN on an air-gapped network (no internet connection). I have failed with every attempt. I first determined what repositories I needed to upload to my air-gapped network to my Apache server, so the 3 bare metal servers could get the needed RPMs to install oVirt. I uploaded the following repositories from the internet: copr:copr.fedorainfracloud.org:ovirt:ovirt-master-snapshot ovirt-appliance-master-snapshot ovirt-master-centos-stream-ceph-pacific-testing ovirt-master-centos-stream-gluster10-testing ovirt-master-centos-stream-nfv-openvswitch2-testing ovirt-master-centos-stream-openstack-yoga-testing ovirt-master-centos-stream-opstools-collectd5-testing ovirt-master-centos-stream-ovirt45-testing ovirt-node-master-snapshot I first tried to install a oVirt self-hosted engine architecture on 1 server running Alma 9, but I ran into multiple dead ends with errors that I did not understand. My second attempt was to refresh the 1 Alma 9 server and install the oVirt CentOS9 node ISO instead on the 1 server. Again, I ran into multiple errors and did not understand the error messages. Recently, the oVirt Blog recommended we stopped using the oVirt CentOS9 node ISO for oVirt v4.5.7, so I went back on tried to install oVirt on Alma 9, and again I ran into multiple errors. I do not know what I am doing wrong. I have followed all the directions and Googled all the error messages I received, and still don't understand any of it. Now I am wondering if it's even possible to install oVirt on an server that doesn't have a DHCP connection to the internet. The last time I tried to create the "HostedEngineLocal" virtual machine on the server, I noticed the virtual machine creation relied on an internet connection and that is why the Hosted Engine setup failed everytime. Am I wrong? What am I doing wrong? Can someone help?

Deploy process frezzes with "Wait for the host to be up"
by Leandro Pereira 16 Feb '26

16 Feb '26

Hello everyone I'm installing ovirt 4.5 on a homelab VMWare Workstation (which I did several times weeks ago). Not so much that I'm going through technical problems. The deploy engine works in a stage called '[ INFO ] TASK [ovirt.ovirt.hosted_engine_setup : Wait for the host to be up]'. I couldn't find any error messages in both the Host logs and the Engine. Try different ways to automatically create the ovirtmgmt network, as you previously created it. The fact is that at this stage the engine is still not connected to the ovirtmgmt network, and from this point the depoloy does not pass through the host cannot communicate with the Engine with the FQDN informed.
