The CA can be downloaded via the web , or you can tell curl to just ignore the engine's cert via the '-k' flag. It will show you if the health page is working.

Hosted Engine VM - CPU and Memory Sizing
by paul.christian.suba＠cevalogistics.com 25 Jul '19

25 Jul '19

Hi, Is there a recommended CPU and memory size for the Hosted Engine VM? We have what started as a 4 node physical cluster lab with 4 vms that has now grown to 44vms. The dashboard is slow to load information and the HE VM is consistently seen with 99% CPU with the breakdown below. PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 12076 postgres 20 0 506516 276172 143772 R 99.3 1.7 206:17.15 postmaster 10337 postgres 20 0 484756 254156 144000 R 99.0 1.6 179:52.35 postmaster 38603 postgres 20 0 500068 267836 143992 S 70.1 1.6 528:04.13 postmaster 49217 postgres 20 0 468736 235484 143624 S 19.3 1.4 41:57.55 postmaster 5569 ovirt 20 0 6430912 2.3g 6368 S 1.3 14.5 894:20.75 java We used the default 4 CPU and 16 GB RAM. This is oVirt 4.3.1. I am curious to find out as well if the postgres processes using 99% CPU is normal?

ovirt-engine-appliance ova
by jingjie.jiang＠oracle.com 25 Jul '19

Hi, Can someone tell me how to generate ovirt-engine-appliance ova file in ovirt-engine-appliance-4.3-20190610.1.el7.x86_64.rpm? I tried to import ovirt-engine-appliance ova(ovirt-engine-appliance-4.3-20190610.1.el7.ova) from ovirt-engine, but I got error as following: Failed to load VM configuration from OVA file: /var/tmp/ovirt-engine-appliance-4.2-20190121.1.el7.ova I guess ovirt-engine-appliance-4.2-20190121.1.el7.ova has more than CentOS7.6. Thanks, Jingjie

According to another post in the mailing list, the Engine Hosts (that has ovirt-ha-agent/ovirt-ha-broker running) is checking http://{fqdn}/ovirt-engine/services/health As the IP is changed, I think you need to check the URL before and after thr mifgration.

Active-Passive DR: mutual for different storage domains possible?
by Gianluca Cecchi 25 Jul '19

25 Jul '19

Hello, suppose I want to implement Active-Passive DR between 2 sites. Sites are SiteA and SiteB. I have 2 storage domains SD1 and SD2, that I can configure so that SD1 is active in storage array installed in SiteA with replica in SiteB and SD2 the reverse. I have 4 hosts: host1 and host2 in SiteA and host3 and host4 in SiteB. I would like to optimize compute resources and workload so that: oVirt env OV1 with ovmgr1 in SiteA (external engine) is composed by host1 and host2 and configured with SD1 oVirt env OV2 with ovmgr2 in SiteB (external engine) is composed by host3 and host4 and configured with SD2. Can I use OV2 as DR for OV1 for VMs installed on SD1 and at the same time OV1 as DR for OV2 for VMs installed on SD2? Thanks in advance, Gianluca Cecchi

iSCSI-based storages won't login to the portals with all IPs on reboot
by nicolas＠devels.es 25 Jul '19

25 Jul '19

Hi, We're running oVirt 4.3.2. Currently, we have one storage backend (cabinet) with two controllers, each of them with 2 network interfaces (4 network interfaces in total). When we added the Storage Domain, we discovered the target for each of the 4 IPs and marked the LUN so it would be added with 4 different IPs. When we put a host on maintenance, all the paths are deactivated, and when we activate it back it discovers all the 4 paths for the storage backend. However, if we reboot the host, on activation it only activates one path. We can see this running 'multipath -ll'. We can manually activate the rest of the paths using this command for each of the IPs: # iscsiadm --mode discovery --type sendtargets --portal 10.X.X.X --login However, we wonder why oVirt wouldn't log into each of the IPs upon a boot. Is there something we're missing? Can this be fixed manually? Currently we're running a script on boot that will issue the command above for each of the IPs of the cabinet. Thanks for any help!

template permissions not inherited (4.3.4)
by Timmi 24 Jul '19

24 Jul '19

Hi oVirt List, I have just a quick question if I should open a ticket for this or if I'm doing something wrong. I created a new VM template with specific permissions in addition to the system wide permissions. If I create a new VM with the template I notices that only system permissions are copied to the permission of the new VM. Is this the intended behavior? I was somehow under the impression that the permission from the template should have been copied to the newly created VM. Tested with Version 4.3.4.3-1.el7 Best regards Christoph

reinstallation information
by nikkognt＠gmail.com 24 Jul '19

24 Jul '19

Hi, after a blackout one host of my ovirt not working properly. I tried to Reinstall it but ends with the following error "Failed to install Host ov1. Failed to execute stage 'Closing up': Failed to start service 'vdsmd'." I tried to start manually but it not start . Now, I would like to reinstall from iso ovirt node. After I put the host is in maintenance must I remove host from the cluster (Hosts -> host1 -> Remove) or I can reinstall without remove it? If I remore it from the cluster the network configurations I lose them or not? My ovirt version is oVirt Engine Version: 4.1.9.1-1.el7.centos.
