The best guidelines I can give you are: Try first on at a test system. Do the backup on the real machine, create some isolated VM (isolated so that it does not interfere with your hosts/storage) somewhere to be used as a test host (or a physical machine if you have one), some storage somewhere, and restore on it. Make it work. Document what you needed to do. Ask here with specific questions if/when you have them. Then do on the production setup. Also clarify your needs. Do you need no-downtime for the VMs? If so, that's more complex. If you don't, it might be enough/simpler to deploy a new setup and just import the existing storage.

Hi Everybody, Is there a way to see My Groups through the Web UI? I have tried looking around, but cannot see anything. Can this only be seen via the backend in the HE?

[OT] windows 10 qemu-kvm latest stable drivers
by Gianluca Cecchi 28 Apr '20

28 Apr '20

Hello, I see that this link below, that should be the correct one for stable virtio drivers: https://fedorapeople.org/groups/virt/virtio-win/direct-downloads/stable-vir… points to virtio-win-0.1.171-1 released on May 2019. The same pointed by the repo https://fedorapeople.org/groups/virt/virtio-win/virtio-win.repo Under https://fedorapeople.org/groups/virt/virtio-win/direct-downloads/archive-vi… there are many new ones... Are so they all to be considered unstable? Thanks, Gianluca

Info about openstack staging-ovirt driver connection not released
by Gianluca Cecchi 28 Apr '20

28 Apr '20

Hello, I'm setting up an Openstack Queens lab ( to best match OSP 13) using oVirt VMs as nodes. At this time only undercloud configured and 8 Openstack nodes (VMs) set as available for provisioning. I'm using staging-ovirt driver on director node in similar way as the vbmc one. I see from oVirt active user sessions page that every minute I have one connection for node (in my case 8) of the designated user (in my case ostackpm). But it seems they are never released. How can I check the problem? Director is CentOS 7 server and the staging-ovirt driver is provided by the package: [root@director ~]# rpm -q python-ovirt-engine-sdk4 python-ovirt-engine-sdk4-4.3.2-2.el7.x86_64 [root@director ~]# I didn't configure the oVirt repo but only installed the latest stable available for 4.3.9: wget https://resources.ovirt.org/pub/ovirt-4.3/rpm/el7/x86_64/python-ovirt-engin… sudo yum localinstall python-ovirt-engine-sdk4-4.3.2-2.el7.x86_64.rpm Anyone with experience on this? In the mean time any way to use a command using api to kill the stale (I think) sessions? Thanks, Gianluca

Virtual machine replica - DR
by ccesario＠blueit.com.br 27 Apr '20

27 Apr '20

Hello, Does someone know any tool/method to replicate the VMS from a "Production" Cluster to "Secondary" Cluster, to provide a DR solution without Storage replication dependency or Gluster Storage. Like Veeam, Zerto toosl do with other hypervisors. Is there anyway, tool, product to do it!? Regards Carlos

Custom ignition in cloud-init?
by Wesley Stewart 26 Apr '20

26 Apr '20

Before anyone tells me this is now included in 4.4.0, I saw this, but I don't think I'm willing to update my centos7 host to centos8 yet. (But perhaps that will be the answer). Currently on 4.3.9/Centos 7 I am trying to run fedora core is to test it out, and the ISO installer hangs on: "failed to isolate default target freezing" So I tried the QCOW2 image, but I'm looking at ways of running the ignition file. I see in the "run once" section i can deploy a custom unit script, and I was wondering is this filetype agnostic? If I generate a JSON ignition script and put it in there will it get passed through correctly ? Or will I need to update to 4.4.0? I also found: https://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/c/100008/ This was abondoned for a "better solution" last September. Was this referring to the changes in 4.4.0? Lastly has anyone who was running 4.3.9 upgrade their centos host to centos8 and then upgrade ovirt without any issues? I usually try and wait at least a couple of minor version changes before switching to a new major version. Thanks guys!

Ovirt vs lvm?
by csabany＠freemail.hu 26 Apr '20

26 Apr '20

Hi, Our production ovirt system looks like: standalone management server, vesion 4.3.9, 6 clusters, 28 nodes (v4.2, v4.3) , one storage domain, (FC SAN Storages), centos7 vm-s , and some windows vms. I have a returning problem. Sometime when i power off a vm and power on again , i get an error message our linux vm (when we use lvm of course): dracut: Read-only locking type set. Write locks are prohibited., dracut: Can't get lock for vg. I can repair only 70% of damaged vm. I tried to localize the problem, but a can`t. The error occured randomly every cluster, every storage on last 2 years. Has anyone ever encountered such a problem?
