oVirt4.4 HCI single host mortal combat
by Jiří Sléžka 28 May '20

28 May '20

Hi, I am still fighting with oVirt 4.4 installation in HCI single host configuration. Seems to be hard fighter... ;-) It looks like there is no 4.4 HCI single host installation guide so I am using compilation of this sources * https://www.ovirt.org/download/ * https://www.ovirt.org/documentation/gluster-hyperconverged/chap-Single_node… I did * clean minimal install of CentOS 8.1 * setup networks (I am using vlans on bond for internal traffic) dnf update -y dnf install https://resources.ovirt.org/pub/yum-repo/ovirt-release44.rpm dnf install cockpit cockpit-ovirt-dashboard vdsm-gluster ovirt-engine-appliance glusterfs-server gluster-ansible-roles systemctl enable --now cockpit.socket firewall-cmd --add-service=cockpit firewall-cmd --add-service=cockpit --permanent ssh-keygen ssh-copy-id root(a)10.0.4.11 ssh root(a)10.0.4.11 (10.0.4.11 is local address on vlan which I would like use as storage network) I would like to run gluster-ansible-roles from command line but I am not sure how exactly do it right way so I am going the cockpit way and the gluster part works like expected. Next Boss is HE install Round 1, Fight! The hosted engine wizzard ends with missing ca-cert.pem (unfortunately I close the window and cannot find that log anymore). But it looks to me like problem mentioned in https://lists.ovirt.org/archives/list/users@ovirt.org/message/4PUIES2JGAFHJ… I have switched to command line... Round 2, Fight! ovirt-hosted-engine-cleanup ovirt-hosted-engine-setup [ ERROR ] fatal: [localhost]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "msg": "The host has been set in non_operational status, deployment errors: code 505: Host ovirt-hci01.stud.slu.cz installation failed.

Engine expands CPU and memory
by xilazz＠126.com 28 May '20

28 May '20

Hi, everyone. When I use the ovirt cluster, there are multiple virtual machines in the cluster.Engine controller shows excessive CPU load during administration, I would like to ask if there is a way to extend engine controller CPU and memory online, I would be very grateful.thank you

oVirt not using local GlusterFS bricks
by Randall Wood 28 May '20

28 May '20

I have a three node oVirt 4.3.7 cluster that is using GlusterFS as the underlying storage (each oVirt node is a GlusterFS node). The nodes are named ovirt1, ovirt2, and ovirt3. This has been working wonderfully until last week when ovirt2 crashed (it is *old* hardware; this was not entirely unexpected). Now I have this situation: all three oVirt nodes are acting as if the GlusterFS volumes only exist on ovirt2. The bricks on all three nodes appear to be in sync. I *think* this began happening after I restarted ovirt2 (once hard, and once soft) and then restarted glusterd (and only glusterd) on ovirt1 and ovirt3 after `gluster-eventsapi status` on those two nodes showed inconsistent results (this had been used with success before). How can I make the oVirt nodes read and write from their local bricks?

oVirt 4.4 pending VM changes on HostedEngine VM
by Radoslav Milanov 28 May '20

28 May '20

Hello I'm not sure how but I've got pending changes on the HostedEngine VM on a 3 node 4.4 cluster and those changes are never applied. Is there a way to cancel pending VM changes in general ? Thanks.

Adding extra parameters to qemu-kvm
by Sakari Poussa 28 May '20

28 May '20

Hi, Before I dive in too deeply to vdsm-hook-qemucmdline I'd like to know if it is the correct solution to my needs. I want to add the following (type of) parameters to VM startup -object memory-backend-file,id=mem1,share=on,mem-path=/dev/dax0.0,size=$PMEM_SIZE,align=2M \-device nvdimm,id=nvdimm1,memdev=mem1,label-size=128k \ Is the vdsm-hook-qemucmdline the correct tool? Can I use (add the params) it also from the ansible playbook (via ovirt roles) somehow? Thanks, Sakari

Current Architecture of oVirt and Quality Assurance measures
by Juergen Novak 28 May '20

28 May '20

I am currently evaluating oVirt for the usage in big companies as base system for edge computing applications. I already tried to find a current architecture overview regarding the oVirt modules -- particularly ovirt-node-ng and imgbased. But I did not manage to find any. There is some architecture documentation, but marked as outdated and many links go to 404. So I would ask, if somebody could provide any current architecture overview (no user documentation), particularly of the node module(s). An other question I have, is which quality measures are used in development? * Tools used (for Unit-Tests, Component-Tests, Integration-Tests) * Are there any statistics about test coverage? Any assistance would be appreciated. Best Regards /juergen

oVirt 4.4 gluster single host vm paused due to unknown storage error
by Gianluca Cecchi 28 May '20

28 May '20

Hello, in environment in subject, I downloaded from glance repository the CentOS 8 image CentOS 8 Generic Cloud Image v20200113.3 for x86_64 (5e35c84) and imported as a template. I created a vm based on it (I got the message: "In order to create a VM from a template with a different chipset, device configuration will be changed. This may affect functionality of the guest software. Are you sure you want to proceed?") When running "dnf update", during I/O of packages updates the VM went into pause. VM c8desktop started on Host novirt2.example.net 5/28/201:29:04 PM VM c8desktop has been paused. 5/28/201:41:52 PM VM c8desktop has been paused due to unknown storage error. 5/28/201:41:52 PM VM c8desktop has recovered from paused back to up. 5/28/201:43:50 PM In messages of (nested) host I see: May 28 13:28:06 novirt2 systemd-machined[1497]: New machine qemu-7-c8desktop.

I see in 4.4 Gluster is glusterfs-7.5-1.el8.x86_64 Can this be a problem that only appears in single host as there are indeed no data travellling to the network to sync nodes and sharding feature for some reason is not able to keep pace, when local disk is very fast? In 4.3.9 single host with gluster 6.8-1 my only way to solve was to disable sharding.. and I got final stability see here https://lists.ovirt.org/archives/list/users@ovirt.org/thread/OIN4R63I6ITOQS… Still waiting for Gluster devs comments on logs provided at that time As I already wrote, in my opinion the single host wizard should set sharding off in automatic, because in that environment can make thin provisioned disks unusable. In case of future additions of nodes, the setup can make a check and say the user that he/she should re-enable sharding.... Just my 0.2 eurocent Gianluca

oVirt 4.4 HE on Copy local VM disk to shared storage (NFS) failing
by Anton Gonzalez 28 May '20

28 May '20

Deploy via cockpit fails after copy local VM disk to shared storage, Exit HE maintenance mode, Check engine VM health. The HE VM does not start from shared storage with hosted-engine --vm-status returning down_unexpected. I've also tried with iSCSI, with similar results. I'm using CentOS 8.1 now, but also tried with Node 4.4 with same results. VDSM log attached. If any other logs are needed, please let me know and I'll add. I've used the same NFS server to deploy 4.3 without issue, and I ran the nfs-check.py script to verify that the NFS share was correctly provisioned.

Some of the features included in oVirt 4.4.1 Release Candidate require content that will be available in CentOS Linux 8.2 but can’t be tested on RHEL 8.2 yet due to some incompatibility in openvswitch package shipped in CentOS Virt SIG which requires to rebuild openvswitch on top of CentOS 8.2.
