Running Self Hosted-Engine on the same iSCSI target as other Storage Domains
by Erez Zarum 07 Jul '20

07 Jul '20

We are using Dell SC (Storage) with iSCSI with oVirt, it is impossible to create a new Target Portal with a specific LUN so it's impossible to isolate the SE LUN from other LUNs that are in use by other Storage Domains. According to the documentations this is not a best practice, while searching i ran into that specific issue but it seems to be solved. Is it still by best practice when using oVirt 4.4 to use a whole different target for the SE? If it is not possible giving the current envrionment restrictions is the only option for us is to attach a few disks to each servers and create a small gluster cluster (volume) just for the SE?

Re: broker.log not rotating

Yes, ovirt-ha-broker and ovirt-ha-agent take care of HostedEngine to be up and running and in case something goes bad - to be migrated away.

oVirt 4.4.0, slave interfaces are down after a reboot
by Erez Zarum 07 Jul '20

07 Jul '20

Fresh installation of oVirt 4.4.0 (using the ISO), after restarting an host, the host comes up but the slave interfaces of a bond remains in down state. The only way to bring it up is to login via IPMI and restart the "NetworkManager" service. Weird thing, after this, the host says that it's network is out of sync, this happens on a network that is marked as "migration network", what is out of sync is the gateway. I have restart the host again (this happens on all hosts) and i can see that after a restart the NetworkManager state (nmcli c show bond0.421 as example) does not list the routes, after syncing the routes are there.

iSCSI array "Storage domain does not exist" error after array reboot
by Kevin Doyle 07 Jul '20

07 Jul '20

I am running a hosted engine using iscsi. I had to reboot the array, I took down all the VM's and put the VM data storage into maintenance mode. I also put the hosted engine "hosted-engine --set-maintenance --mode =global" and shut down the engine "hosted-engine --vm-shutdown" I also stopped the broker and agent systemctl stop ovirt-ha-broker' ; 'systemctl stop ovirt-ha-agent' The array was rebooted. I started the broker and agent systemctl start ovirt-ha-broker' ; 'systemctl start ovirt-ha-agent' However I now see errors in the vdsm log INFO (jsonrpc/4) [storage.TaskManager.Task] (Task='76547cc5-e4f0-454c-ac46-c341e7f6d54c') aborting: Task is aborted: "Storage domain does not exist: (u'5626eba7-ebd8-4578-baf0-ca4f4af5889b',)" - code 358 (task:1181) 2020-07-07 14:01:25,098+0100 ERROR (jsonrpc/4) [storage.Dispatcher] FINISH prepareImage error=Storage domain does not exist: (u'5626eba7-ebd8-4578-baf0-ca4f4af5889b',) (dispatcher:83) 2020-07-07 14:01:25,098+0100 INFO (jsonrpc/4) [jsonrpc.JsonRpcServer] RPC call Image.prepare failed (error 358) in 0.07 seconds (__init__:312) INFO (vmrecovery) [vdsm.api] START getConnectedStoragePoolsList(options=None) from=internal, task_id=93d7e2d6-17ee-4370-b8c4-fb32a3887021 (api:48) 2020-07-07 14:01:25,592+0100 INFO (vmrecovery) [vdsm.api] FINISH getConnectedStoragePoolsList return={'poollist': []} from=internal, task_id=93d7e2d6-17ee-4370-b8c4-fb32a3887021 (api:54) 2020-07-07 14:01:25,592+0100 INFO (vmrecovery) [vds] recovery: waiting for storage pool to go up (clientIF:709) I have 6 hosts. I have tried rebooting them all, I have tried just running 1 host that was originally hosting the engine, but I cannot bring up the hosted engine. Has anyone any ideas ? how to reconnect the storage domain The hosted engine had its own iscsi disk separate from the VM's thanks Kevin

How to use sysprep to create Windows templates
by wodel youchi 07 Jul '20

07 Jul '20

Hi, I need to create some Windows Templates for my client, and I am not quite familiar with the Windows sysprep installations. I read the "Sealing a Windows Virtual Machine for Deployment as a Template" on the Virtual Machine Management Guide. What I don't understand is the process of sealing a Windows VM. When should I use the /usr/share/ovirt-engine/conf/sysprep/sysprep.* files? at the creation of the VM that will be a template at the end? or at the creation of new VMs based on the template? When should I use the /etc/ovirt-engine/osinfo.conf.d/xx.files.properties? at the creation of the VM that will be a template at the end? or at the creation of new VMs based on the template? What is the difference between : "Use Cloud-Init/Sysprep" in the VM edit window and the RUN Once window? For me it is not clear, could someone help me to understand. Regards.

Re: Migration of self Hosted Engine from iSCSI to Gluster/NFS
by houwei.chen＠vinchin.com 07 Jul '20

07 Jul '20

Hi Erez, would you like to use the backup tool to backup your self Hosted Engine from iSCSI, then restore to the Gluster of NFS storage? In this way, you can migration as you want. If you are looking forward to a backup tool, maybe you can try Vinchin Backup & Recovery, which provides the solution. Hope you can solve your question soon. Thanks

Using ovirt imageio
by Łukasz Kołaciński 06 Jul '20

06 Jul '20

Dear ovirt community, I am trying to use ovirt imageio api to receive changed blocks (dirty bitmap) on ovirt 4.4. Could anyone tell me how to get them step by step?

I also need to know how to use this api because I can't reach it via /ovirt-engine/api/ I am asking about this endpoint: https://www.ovirt.org/documentation/incremental-backup-guide/incremental-ba… Best regards, Łukasz Kołaciński Junior Java Developer e-mail: l.kolacinski(a)storware.eu<mailto:l.kolacinski@storware.eu> <mailto:m.helbert@storware.eu> [STORWARE]<http://www.storware.eu/> ul.

Re: Problems with setting up ovirt 4.4 for incremental backups

Hi Lukasz, Thank you for testing the new Incrementa backup feature.

There is a backups service that you can find under - GET path-to-engine/ovirt-engine/api/vms/vm-uuid/backups To get a single backup you can use GET path-to-engine/ovirt-engine/api/vms/vm-uuid/backups/backup-uuid We are now working on exposing also the checkpoints service to allow removal of checkpoints, but this isn't ready yet. > 4.

oVirt-node 4.4.0 - Hosted engine deployment fails when host is unable to download updates
by Marco Fais 04 Jul '20

04 Jul '20

Hi, fresh installation of oVirt-node 4.4.0 on a cluster -- the hosted-engine --deploy command fails if DNF is unable to download updates. This cluster is not connected to the public network at the moment. If I use a proxy (setting the relevant env. variables) it fails at a later stage (I think the engine VM is trying to download updates as well, but encounters the same issue and doesn't seem to use the proxy). With oVirt-node 4.3.x I didn't have this issue -- any suggestions? [~]# hosted-engine --deploy [ INFO ] Stage: Initializing [ INFO ] Stage: Environment setup During customization use CTRL-D to abort. Continuing will configure this host for serving as hypervisor and will create a local VM with a running engine. The locally running engine will be used to configure a new storage domain and create a VM there. At the end the disk of the local VM will be moved to the shared storage. Are you sure you want to continue? (Yes, No)[Yes]: Configuration files: Log file: /var/log/ovirt-hosted-engine-setup/ovirt-hosted-engine-setup-20200604214638-vae2wf.log Version: otopi-1.9.1 (otopi-1.9.1-1.el8) [ INFO ] DNF Downloading 1 files, 0.00KB [ INFO ] DNF Downloaded Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux 8 - x86_64 [ * ERROR ] DNF Failed to download metadata for repo 'ovirt-4.4-epel'[ ERROR ] DNF Failed to download metadata for repo 'ovirt-4.4-epel'[ ERROR ] Failed to execute stage 'Environment setup': Failed to download metadata for repo 'ovirt-4.4-epel'* [ INFO ] Stage: Clean up [...] Thanks, Marco

New fenceType in oVirt code for IBM OpenBMC
by Vinícius Ferrão 04 Jul '20

04 Jul '20

Hello, After some days scratching my head I found that oVirt is probably missing fenceTypes for IBM’s implementation of OpenBMC in the Power Management section. The host machine is an OpenPOWER AC922 (ppc64le). The BMC basically is an “ipmilan” device but the ciphers must be defined as 3 or 17 by default: [root@h01 ~]# ipmitool -I lanplus -H 10.20.10.2 root -P 0penBmc -L operator -C 3 channel getciphers ipmi ID IANA Auth Alg Integrity Alg Confidentiality Alg 3 N/A hmac_sha1 hmac_sha1_96 aes_cbc_128 17 N/A hmac_sha256 sha256_128 aes_cbc_128 The default ipmilan connector forces the option cipher=1 which breaks the communication. So I was reading the code and found this “fenceType” class, but I wasn't able to found where to define those classes. So I can create another one called something like openbmc to set cipher=17 by default. Another question is how bad the output is, it only returns a JSON-RPC generic error. But I don’t know how to suggest a fix for this. Thanks,
