What would be the process to restore master host.
by miguel.garcia＠toshibagcs.com 20 Mar '21

We have a cluster with one master and 3 ovirt-nodes and the master server got the hard disk fried however the vms are still running and working in shape. We have concerns if restore master by reinstall OS and restore from latest ovirt backup would be enough or if we had to resintall ovirt cluster from scratch along with each node. Thanks in advance for your input.

Networking

I'm trying to create vlans to mirror my vlans on my external switch. is there a simple way to simply define a port trunk and have ovirt engine pass the traffic on? In VMWare; this can be accomplished by nic teaming/trunking (802.3 ad) and then pass the traffic to the switch. From what I have read in oVirt I need to define ovs switches first; I'd like to simply pass L2 to the switch directly. Regards, Hazen

Host Add - Host not found check DNS or /etc/hosts
by penguin pages 19 Mar '21

Fresh install CentOS8 Streams. Gluster wizard runs and deploys. Engine installs on node. I copy over /etc/hosts for primary site resources to ovirt engine so it can find primary cluster nodes without DNS being booted / up at that time. I check ovirt engine can ssh to the three nodes... so as root I generate SSH key and do ssh-copy-id to all three nodes. So as much as I can validate communication is working.. i have. When I "add host" -> use FDN -> input root password But it shows up in GUI host list with "install fails" Only message is : [root@ovirt01 ~]# cat /var/log/ovirt-engine/ansible-runner-service.log 2021-03-18 09:44:15,998 - runner_service.controllers.hosts - DEBUG - Adding host odin.penguinpages.local to group ovirt 2021-03-18 09:44:16,344 - runner_service.services.hosts - ERROR - SSH - NOCONN:SSH error - 'odin.penguinpages.local' not found; check DNS or /etc/hosts 2021-03-18 10:07:15,970 - root - INFO - Analysing local configuration options from /etc/ansible-runner-service/config.yaml 2021-03-18 10:07:15,975 - root - INFO - - setting playbooks_root_dir to /usr/share/ovirt-engine/ansible-runner-service-project 2021-03-18 10:07:15,975 - root - INFO - - setting ssh_private_key to /etc/pki/ovirt-engine/keys/engine_id_rsa 2021-03-18 10:07:15,975 - root - INFO - - setting port to 50001 2021-03-18 10:07:15,975 - root - INFO - - setting target_user to root 2021-03-18 10:07:15,975 - root - INFO - - setting log_path to /var/log/ovirt-engine 2021-03-18 10:07:15,975 - root - INFO - Analysing runtime overrides from environment variables 2021-03-18 10:07:15,975 - root - INFO - No configuration settings overridden 2021-03-18 10:07:15,995 - root - INFO - Loaded logging configuration from /etc/ansible-runner-service/logging.yaml 2021-03-18 10:07:16,004 - runner_service.controllers.hosts - DEBUG - Request received, content-type :None 2021-03-18 10:07:16,005 - runner_service.controllers.hosts - INFO - 127.0.0.1 - GET /api/v1/hosts/thor.penguinpages.local 2021-03-18 10:07:16,013 - runner_service.controllers.hosts - DEBUG - Request received, content-type :application/json; charset=UTF-8 2021-03-18 10:07:16,013 - runner_service.controllers.hosts - INFO - 127.0.0.1 - POST /api/v1/hosts/thor.penguinpages.local/groups/ovirt 2021-03-18 10:07:16,013 - runner_service.controllers.hosts - DEBUG - additional args received 2021-03-18 10:07:16,014 - runner_service.controllers.hosts - DEBUG - Adding host thor.penguinpages.local to group ovirt 2021-03-18 10:07:16,339 - runner_service.services.hosts - ERROR - SSH - NOCONN:SSH error - 'thor.penguinpages.local' not found; check DNS or /etc/hosts 2021-03-18 10:07:38,333 - runner_service.controllers.hosts - DEBUG - Request received, content-type :None 2021-03-18 10:07:38,334 - runner_service.controllers.hosts - INFO - 127.0.0.1 - GET /api/v1/hosts/thor.penguinpages.local 2021-03-18 10:07:38,339 - runner_service.controllers.hosts - DEBUG - Request received, content-type :application/json; charset=UTF-8 2021-03-18 10:07:38,339 - runner_service.controllers.hosts - INFO - 127.0.0.1 - POST /api/v1/hosts/thor.penguinpages.local/groups/ovirt 2021-03-18 10:07:38,339 - runner_service.controllers.hosts - DEBUG - additional args received 2021-03-18 10:07:38,340 - runner_service.controllers.hosts - DEBUG - Adding host thor.penguinpages.local to group ovirt 2021-03-18 10:07:38,713 - runner_service.services.hosts - ERROR - SSH - NOCONN:SSH error - 'thor.penguinpages.local' not found; check DNS or /etc/hosts But ssh is fine to all hosts works fine.

Quick Question: Degraded Gluster
by Christian Reiss 18 Mar '21

18 Mar '21

Hey folks, quick question: I have a 3 node cluster (HC) in a production environment. I recently swapped all the storage SSDs with bigger enterprise grades SSDs. So I took a host down (migrating all VMs away, maintenance, shutdown, fix raid, gluster repair, back online). This worked well and all three nodes are now hardware-wise replaced. The last one is still gluster-healing (roughly 20% done). The other two nodes are happily serving the vms while the third one is still in maintenance. my question is: Can I online the maintenance node while gluster is still healing? Or will will open up a can of worms I would not like? It would be cool having all three nodes back online soon while the gluster is still repairing. We have no urge tho. If there is a risk I would wait. If this is somewhat risk-free and do-able why not :) -- with kind regards, mit freundlichen Gruessen, Christian Reiss

Hi, I’m currently trying to upgrade my oVirt Cluster into 4.4.5. Hosted engine upgrade work successfully. But whenever I tried upgrading DWH on separate machine it keep giving me this error : Failed to execute stage 'Misc configuration': 'OVESETUP_SYSTEM/selinuxBooleans' In engine-setup log : 2021-03-18 23:34:10,976+0700 DEBUG otopi.context context._executeMethod:145 method exception Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/otopi/context.py", line 132, in _executeMethod method['method']() File "/usr/share/ovirt-engine/setup/bin/../plugins/ovirt-engine-setup/ovirt-engine-common/apache/selinux.py", line 40, in _misc osetupcons.SystemEnv.SELINUX_BOOLEANS KeyError: 'OVESETUP_SYSTEM/selinuxBooleans' 2021-03-18 23:34:10,977+0700 ERROR otopi.context context._executeMethod:154 Failed to execute stage 'Misc configuration': 'OVESETUP_SYSTEM/selinuxBooleans' Using CentOS 8.3 as separate DWH machine.

4.4.5 released? Fails to upgrade
by Rik Theys 18 Mar '21

18 Mar '21

Hi, My systems pulled in 4.4.5 packages last night, so I assume oVirt 4.4.5 was released? The release notes page does not list the release and I also did not see any announcement. The packages are 4.4.5.10-1.el8. I ran an engine-setup and upgraded to this release but the upgrade has failed due to a failure to update the database schema and it seems the rollback was not successful as my instance failed to start afterwards. I've downgraded all packages and ran engine-setup --offline, which seems to at least bring back my engine to a working state. I'm confused: has 4.4.5 been released or did I pull in some intermediate version with known issues? Regards, Rik -- Rik Theys System Engineer KU Leuven - Dept. Elektrotechniek (ESAT) Kasteelpark Arenberg 10 bus 2440 - B-3001 Leuven-Heverlee +32(0)16/32.11.07 ---------------------------------------------------------------- <<Any errors in spelling, tact or fact are transmission errors>>

Access to the internet from oVirt VMs
by unityresearcher＠alterpost.org 16 Mar '21

16 Mar '21

Hi to all ✋😉 I've stacked with ovirt's vm network routing Infrastructure: 1. stansalone ovirt engine (hetzner cloud vm) 2. ovirt node (hetzner robot, dedicated server) 3. hetzner private cloud network. Both Engine and Node are connected to private network. For node the network is built on external NIC's tagged VLAN https://docs.hetzner.com/robot/dedicated-server/network/vswitch/ 4. Also there is a pfsense router vm in private network So my purpose is to grant access to the internet from VM inside oVirt via pfSense. Additional info: 1. pfsense machine is pingable from oVirt VM 2. oVirt VM NIC – ovirtmgmt 3. pfsenses' NAT works fine for machines in hetzner cloud 4. Painful troubleshooting showed that something on ovirtmgmt bridge forbids to route traffic to another network 5. Internet access "from the box" doesn't work because ovirtmgmt works on VLAN interface, not at physical one itself. 6. In Ovirt's docs I've found the two ways of custom routing. The first one is about external network provider, that unacceptable for me because it doesn't support VLAN tagging (without it node's network can't get access to private cloud network). The second one is custom routing inside a node that doesn't work for me as well by unknown reason What I do wrong? What are the best practices in oVirt network when we talking about internet access from oVirt's VMs? Thx 😉
