n00b Requesting Some Advice
by matthew＠peregrineit.net 22 Apr '21

22 Apr '21

Hi All, I need some "best practice" advice. We have a Ceph Storage Cluster (Octopus moving to Pacific) which we'd like to use with our new oVirt Cluster (all on CentOS 8 boxes). What I'd like to know is what is the "best" (ie recommended / best practice) way of doing this - via iSCSI, CFS, 'raw' RBD blocks, some other way I haven't read about yet, etc? I realise 'best' is a subjective term, but what I tend to do is do 'manual' installs so that I both actually understand what is happening (ie how things fit together - I pull apart and rebuild mechanical clocks and watches for the same reason) and also so I can '"Puppet-ise" the results for future use. This means that I am *not* necessarily looking for "quick and dirty" or "quick and easy" (ie, I have no trouble using the CLI and 'vim-ing' conf files as required) but I do want a solid, "best-practice" system when I'm done. So, can some please help? And also, would you mind pointing me towards the relevant documentation for the answer(s) supplied (yes, I *always* RTFM :-) ). Thanks in advance Dulux-Oz

[ANN] oVirt 4.4.6 Fifth Release Candidate is now available for testing
by Lev Veyde 22 Apr '21

22 Apr '21

oVirt 4.4.6 Fifth Release Candidate is now available for testing The oVirt Project is pleased to announce the availability of oVirt 4.4.6 Fifth Release Candidate for testing, as of April 22nd, 2021. This update is the sixth in a series of stabilization updates to the 4.4 series. How to prevent hosts entering emergency mode after upgrade from oVirt 4.4.1 Note: Upgrading from 4.4.2 GA or later should not require re-doing these steps, if already performed while upgrading from 4.4.1 to 4.4.2 GA. These are only required to be done once. Due to Bug 1837864 <https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1837864> - Host enter emergency mode after upgrading to latest build If you have your root file system on a multipath device on your hosts you should be aware that after upgrading from 4.4.1 to 4.4.6 you may get your host entering emergency mode. In order to prevent this be sure to upgrade oVirt Engine first, then on your hosts: 1. Remove the current lvm filter while still on 4.4.1, or in emergency mode (if rebooted). 2. Reboot. 3. Upgrade to 4.4.6 (redeploy in case of already being on 4.4.6). 4. Run vdsm-tool config-lvm-filter to confirm there is a new filter in place. 5. Only if not using oVirt Node: - run "dracut --force --add multipath” to rebuild initramfs with the correct filter configuration 6. Reboot. Documentation - If you want to try oVirt as quickly as possible, follow the instructions on the Download <https://ovirt.org/download/> page. - For complete installation, administration, and usage instructions, see the oVirt Documentation <https://ovirt.org/documentation/>. - For upgrading from a previous version, see the oVirt Upgrade Guide <https://ovirt.org/documentation/upgrade_guide/>. - For a general overview of oVirt, see About oVirt <https://ovirt.org/community/about.html>. Important notes before you try it Please note this is a pre-release build. The oVirt Project makes no guarantees as to its suitability or usefulness. This pre-release must not be used in production. Installation instructions For installation instructions and additional information please refer to: https://ovirt.org/documentation/ This release is available now on x86_64 architecture for: * Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.3 or newer * CentOS Linux (or similar) 8.3 or newer * CentOS Stream 8 This release supports Hypervisor Hosts on x86_64 and ppc64le architectures for: * Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.3 or newer * CentOS Linux (or similar) 8.3 or newer * CentOS Stream 8 * oVirt Node 4.4 based on CentOS Stream 8 (available for x86_64 only) See the release notes [1] for installation instructions and a list of new features and bugs fixed.

I get this message from ovirt: Message:Host <hostname> certification is about to expire at 2021-05-12. Please renew the host's certification.

Ansible ovirt.ovirt_vm nics
by Matthew.Stier＠fujitsu.com 22 Apr '21

22 Apr '21

The 'nics' section of ovirt_vm is vague and with nearly no examples. My playbook is based upon https://blogs.oracle.com/scoter/ansible-with-oracle-linux-virtualization-ma… I've made several modifications, (more default) and added a few lines, which I believe is supposed to assign vnic profiles to the primary vnic (nic1), based upon the definition of 'vm_nic1_profile' defined in an included 'ini' file. (the profile defaulting to blank if it is not defined in the ini file.) It isn't doing its job. nics: - name: "nic1" profile_name: "{{ hostvars[item]['vm_nic1_profile'] | default('') }}" The playbook runs without complaint. If I run it with option '-vvv' part of the output lists the variables, but the 'nics' variable is an empty list (nics[]) Any hints on what I'm doing wrong? I've checked the forum, but it tends to strip leading spaces, which is bad for indent sensitive code.

Moving templates and their thin based VMs
by Gianluca Cecchi 21 Apr '21

21 Apr '21

Hello, I had to free up and reformat a storage domain where I had some templates and many VMs. I was able to move to other existing storage domains disks of VMs created with "Clone" Storage Allocation But some of these VMs had disk with storage allocation of type "Thin" on their related template. So I was both unable to move these templates and VMs disks... I was able to export as OVA the templates and then import again them (with another name "_Copy") on to another storage domain.... then remove VMs and templates and rename templates' names... Are there any chances to better solve these kind of problems if one has to decommission a storage domain? Only export of all VMs and related templates? Is there a way to "consolidate" the disks of an existing "Thin" based storage allocation to Clone? Possibly I can clone the VM? Thanks in advance, Gianluca

Re: FreeBSD 13 and virtio

I am attaching both working configs here. Von: Nur Imam Febrianto <nur_imam(a)outlook.com> Gesendet: Dienstag, 20. April 2021 14:14 An: Thomas Hoberg <thomas(a)hoberg.net>; users(a)ovirt.org Betreff: [ovirt-users] Re: FreeBSD 13 and virtio Seems strange. I want to use q35, but whenever I try even to start the installation (vm disk using virtio-scsi/virtio, net adapter using virtio) it always shows me the installer doesn't detect any disk. I have an existing VM too that recently upgraded from 12.2 to 13. It uses i440FX with virtio-scsi disk and virtio network. If I try to change the machine into q35, it keeps stuck at boot after "promiscuous mode enabled". Don't know what's wrong. Using oVirt 4.4.5. Can you share your VM Config ? From: Thomas Hoberg <mailto:thomas@hoberg.net> Sent: 20 April 2021 17:27 To: users(a)ovirt.org <mailto:users@ovirt.org> Subject: [ovirt-users] Re: FreeBSD 13 and virtio q35 with BIOS as that is the cluster default with >4.3. Running the dmesg messages through my mind as I remember them, the vio hardware may be all PCIe based, which would explain why this won't work on a virtual FX 440FX system, because those didn't have PCIe support AFAIK. Any special reason why you'd want them based on 440FX? And I also tested with GhostBSD, which is still 12.* based, and that doesn't seem to have vio support, at least I could not see a hard disk there, which confirms your observation there. _______________________________________________ Users mailing list -- users(a)ovirt.org <mailto:users@ovirt.org> To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave(a)ovirt.org <mailto:users-leave@ovirt.org> Privacy Statement: https://apac01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ovirt .org%2Fprivacy-policy.html <https://apac01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ovir t.org%2Fprivacy-policy.html&data=04%7C01%7C%7C71e5972978224d31def708d903 e6f09b%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C637545112683975628%7CUnk nown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXV CI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&sdata=effZxEik3q1lfTBn%2BBi4DXIQM6wVJfgiQ7%2Fqr0W1dLM%3 D&reserved=0> &data=04%7C01%7C%7C71e5972978224d31def708d903e6f09b%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb4 35aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C637545112683975628%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoi MC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&sdata= effZxEik3q1lfTBn%2BBi4DXIQM6wVJfgiQ7%2Fqr0W1dLM%3D&reserved=0 oVirt Code of Conduct: https://apac01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ovirt .org%2Fcommunity%2Fabout%2Fcommunity-guidelines%2F <https://apac01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ovir t.org%2Fcommunity%2Fabout%2Fcommunity-guidelines%2F&data=04%7C01%7C%7C71 e5972978224d31def708d903e6f09b%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C 637545112683975628%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luM zIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&sdata=rvQ12IpSElU9D23G7HJvPz%2F vqqZ0OaUhJ3wI%2BRslIQY%3D&reserved=0> &data=04%7C01%7C%7C71e5972978224d31def708d903e6f09b%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb4 35aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C637545112683975628%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoi MC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&sdata= rvQ12IpSElU9D23G7HJvPz%2FvqqZ0OaUhJ3wI%2BRslIQY%3D&reserved=0 List Archives: https://apac01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flists.ovi rt.org%2Farchives%2Flist%2Fusers%40ovirt.org%2Fmessage%2F7ZWDRPXM6G25H4VRE3O UAH25UIY4JVI3%2F <https://apac01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Flists.ov irt.org%2Farchives%2Flist%2Fusers%40ovirt.org%2Fmessage%2F7ZWDRPXM6G25H4VRE3 OUAH25UIY4JVI3%2F&data=04%7C01%7C%7C71e5972978224d31def708d903e6f09b%7C8 4df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C637545112683975628%7CUnknown%7CTWF pbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D% 7C1000&sdata=qDf%2BRNi1PXI2cf%2F4XFc6qHCTY6lqOX9lE5Qvyhg4Xls%3D&rese rved=0> &data=04%7C01%7C%7C71e5972978224d31def708d903e6f09b%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb4 35aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C637545112683975628%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoi MC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C1000&sdata= qDf%2BRNi1PXI2cf%2F4XFc6qHCTY6lqOX9lE5Qvyhg4Xls%3D&reserved=0

For oVirt Node that using Local Storage, I think you should shutdown all your vms before you upgrade the Node. 在 2021/4/19 22:09, Nur Imam Febrianto 写道: > > Hi, > > How we can upgrade oVirt Node that using Local Storage ?
