Q: Which types of tests and tools are used?
by Juergen Novak 05 Jun '20

05 Jun '20

Hi, can anybody help me to find some information about test types used in the project and tools used? Particularly interesting would be tools and tests used for the Python coding, but also any information about Java would be appreciated. I already scanned the documentation, but I mainly found only information about Mocking tools. Thank you! /juergen

Ovirt 4.4 Migration assistance needed.
by Strahil Nikolov 05 Jun '20

05 Jun '20

Hello All, I would like to ask for some assistance with the planing of the upgrade to 4.4 . I have issues with the OVN (doesn't work at all), thus I would like to start fresh with the HE. The plan so far (downtime is not an issue) : 1. Reinstall the nodes one by 1 and rejoin them in the Gluster TSP 2. Wipe the HostedEngine's gluster volume 3. Deploy a fresh hosted engine 4. Import the storage domains (gluster) back to the engine and import the VMs Do you see any issues with the plan ? Any problems expected if the VMs do have snapshots? What about the storage domain version ? Thanks in Advance. Best Regards, Strahil Nikolov

Gluster error in server log.
by Krist van Besien 05 Jun '20

05 Jun '20

Hello all, On my ovirt HC cluster I constantly get the following kinds of errors: From /var/log/ovirt-engine/engine.log 2020-06-05 10:38:36,652+02 WARN [org.ovirt.engine.core.vdsbroker.gluster.GlusterVolumesListReturn] (EE-ManagedScheduledExecutorService-engineScheduledThreadPool-Thread-15) [] Could not associate brick 'on1.ws.kri.st:/gluster_bricks/vmstore/vmstore' of volume 'dab47af2-16fc-461d-956e-daab00c8489e' with correct network as no gluster network found in cluster 'a8a38ffe-a499-11ea-9471-00163e5ffe63' Normally you get these errors if you forgot to define and assign a storage network. However I do have a storage network, have assigned it to the interface used by gluster on each host, and have set it as the “gluster” network in the default cluster. So why am I still getting this error? Krist Vriendelijke Groet | Best Regards | Freundliche Grüße | Cordialement Krist van Besien krist.vanbesien(a)gmail.com

Tasks stuck waiting on another after failed storage migration (yet not visible on SPM)

Hi Leo, As you do not have a distributed volume , you can easily switch to replica 2 arbiter 1 or replica 3 volumes.

oVirt 4.4 node via PXE and custom kickstart
by Michael Thomas 04 Jun '20

04 Jun '20

I'm trying to customize a node install to include some local management and monitoring tools, starting with puppet, following the instructions here: https://ovirt.org/documentation/installing_ovirt_as_a_self-hosted_engine_us… The installation of the ovirt node works, and I can deploy the engine once it's running. However, while the extra steps in the %post section of my kickstart are working, any additional 'repo' and %package settings seem to get ignored (even though they were copied from known working kickstart files). What kickstart customizations are supported when deploying a node via PXE? My PXE menu looks like this: menuentry 'Ovirt node' { linuxefi ovirt/vmlinuz ip=dhcp ks=http://10.13.5.13/kickstart/ovirt.cfg ksdevice=link initrd=ovirt/initrd.img inst.stage2=http://10.13.5.13/rhvh initrdefi ovirt/initrd.img } My kickstart file is as follows: liveimg --url=http://10.13.5.13/rhvh/ovirt-node-ng-image.squashfs.img clearpart --all --initlabel autopart --type=thinp zerombr rootpw --plaintext ovirt timezone --utc America/Chicago text reboot # This will need to be updated to point to the 'frozen' snapshot, when available repo --install --name="EPEL" --baseurl=http://10.13.5.13/mirror/linux/epel/8/Everything/x86_64 --cost=99 repo --install --name="Puppet" --baseurl=http://10.13.5.13/mirror/linux/puppetlabs/puppet6/el/8/x86_64 --cost=98 %packages puppet-agent %end %post --erroronfail nodectl init echo "This is a test" > /etc/test.txt %end --Mike

oVirt 4.4 install fails
by Me 04 Jun '20

04 Jun '20

Hi All Not sure where to start, but here goes. I'm not totally new to oVirt, I used RHEV V3.x in production for several years, it was a breeze to setup. Installing 4.4 on to a host with local SSD and FC for storage. Issue 1, having selected the SSD for install which has failed 4.4 beta on it (several times), I reclaim the space and after a few minutes of not being able to enter a root password on the next install screen, it fails as it can't delete the data on the SSD! Yes, really tried this several times, choosing the recover option and getting a prompt, fdisk /dev/sda delete the two partitions created by oVirt and I can install. This was the case with the beta I tried a few weeks ago too. Having reconfigured the switch attached the the host as a dumb 10GBE port as the enterprise OS installer still doesn't appear to support anything more advanced like teaming and VLANS, I have the initial install on the single SSD and a network connection. Issue 2, I use FF 72.0.2 on Linux x64 to connect by https://hostname:9090 to the web interface, but I can't enter login details as the boxes (everything) are disabled???? There is no warning like "we don't like your choice of browser", but the screen is a not very accessible dark grey on darker grey (a poor choice in what I thought were more enlightened times) so this maybe the case. I have disabled all security add-ons in FF, makes no difference. Any suggestions? M

basic infra and glusterfs sizing question
by Jiří Sléžka 04 Jun '20

04 Jun '20

Hello, I am just curious if basic gluster HCI layout which is suggested in cockpit has some deeper meaning. There are suggested 3 volumes * engine - it is clear, it is the volume where engine vm is running. When this vm is 51GB big how small could this volume be? I have 1TB SSD storage and I would like utilize it as much as possible. Could I create this volume as small as this vm is? Is it safe for example for future upgrades? * vmstore - it make sense it is a space for all other vms running in oVirt. Right? * data - which purpose has this volume? other data like for example ISOs? Direct disks? Another infra question... or maybe request for comment I have small amount of public ipv4 addresses in my housing (but I have own switches there so I can create vlans and separate internal traffic). I can access only these public ipv4 addresses directly. I would like to conserve these addressess as much as possible so what is the best approach in your opinion? * Install all hosts and HE with management network on private addressess * have small router (hw appliance with for example LEDE) which will utilize one ipv4 address and will do NAT and vpn for accessing my internals vlans. + looks like simple approach to me - single point of failure in this router (not really - just in case oVirt is badly broken and I need to access internal vlans to recover it) * have this router as virtual appliance inside oVirt (something like pfSense for example) + no need hw router + not sure but I could probably configure vrrp redundancy - still single point of failure like in first case * any other approach? Could ovn help here somehow? * Install all hosts and HE with public addresses :-) + access to all hosts directly - 3 node HCI cluster uses 4 public ip addressess Thanks for your opinions Cheers, Jiri

Ovirt 4.4 HC gluster issues on new CentOS 8 node (cluster still in 4.3 compatibility level)
by jillian.morgan＠primordial.ca 04 Jun '20

04 Jun '20

I've successfully migrated to a new 4.4 engine, now managing the older 4.3 (CentOS 7) nodes. So far so good there. I installed a new CentOS 8 node w/ 4.4, joined it to the Gluster peer group, and it can see all of the volumes, but the node won't go into Online state in the engine because of apparent gluster-related VDSM errors: Status of host butter was set to NonOperational. Gluster command [<UNKNOWN>] failed on server <UNKNOWN>. VDSM butter command ManageGlusterServiceVDS failed: The method does not exist or is not available: {'method': 'GlusterService.action'} I haven't been able to find anything in the VDSM or Engine logs that give me any hint as to what's going on (besides just repeating that the "GlusterSerice.action" method doesn't exist). Anybody know what I'm missing, or have hints on where to dig to debug further?
