Ovirt 4.2.4 - Trouble installing additional self hosted engine hosts
by Maton, Brett 29 May '18

29 May '18

Adding regular, non SHE hosts works fine, however I can't seem to add Self Hosted Engine to additional physical hosts. I think this is the problem, but I don't know what the solution is: 2018-05-29 08:00:52,502+0100 ERROR otopi.context context._executeMethod:152 Failed to execute stage 'Misc configuration': Cannot resolve ovirt_hosted_engine_ha module Deploy log attached.

CVE-2018-3639 - Important - oVirt - Speculative Store Bypass
by Sandro Bonazzola 29 May '18

29 May '18

As you may have already heard, an industry-wide issue was found in the way many modern microprocessor designs have implemented speculative execution of Load & Store instructions. This issue is well described by CVE-2018-3639 announce available at https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/cve-2018-3639. oVirt team has released right now an update of ovirt-engine to version 4.2.3.7 which add support for SSBD CPUs in order to mitigate the security issue. If you are running oVirt on Red Hat Enterprise Linux, please apply updates described in https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/cve-2018-3639. If you are running oVirt on CentOS Linux please apply updated described by: CESA-2018:1629 Important CentOS 7 kernel Security Update <https://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-announce/2018-May/022843.html> CESA-2018:1632 Important CentOS 7 libvirt Security Update <https://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-announce/2018-May/022840.html> CESA-2018:1649 Important CentOS 7 java-1.8.0-openjdk Security Update <https://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-announce/2018-May/022839.html> CESA-2018:1648 Important CentOS 7 java-1.7.0-openjdk Security Update <https://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-announce/2018-May/022838.html> An update for qemu-kvm-ev has been also tagged for release and announced with CESA-2018:1655 Important: qemu-kvm-ev security update <https://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-virt/2018-May/005804.html> but due to some issues in CentOS release process for Virt SIG content, it is not yet available on mirrors. We are working with CentOS community to get the packages signed and published as soon as possible. In the meanwhile you can still get the update package by enabling the test repository https://buildlogs.centos.org/centos/7/virt/x86_64/kvm-common/ on your systems or manually installing the package from the repository. If you're running oVirt on a different Linux distribution, please check with your vendor for available updates. Please note that to fully mitigate this vulnerability, system administrators must apply both hardware “microcode” updates and software patches that enable new functionality. At this time, microprocessor microcode will be delivered by the individual manufacturers. The oVirt team recommends end users and systems administrator to apply any available updates as soon as practical.

SSH into guest VM
by 03ce007＠gmail.com 29 May '18

29 May '18

I have self-hosted-engine (4.2) deployed successfully on cento (7.4) server. The physical server has 'ovirt' as hostname and the self-hosted engineVM deployed and running on it has 'engine.ovirt' as fdqn. I can successfully create new VM using the oVirt.vm-infra example playbook. But what other config/var i need to add in them so that I can ssh into this new VM. Some example, tips, hints would be helpful. Thank you.

cache and viodiskcache parameters in documentation
by stefanos＠prismatelecomtesting.com 28 May '18

28 May '18

Hi, on chapter 6.13.1 "Live Migration Prerequisites" [1] of the RHV 4.2 Virtual Machine Management Guide, there is written: ____________ At a minimum, for successful live migration of virtual machines to be possible: [...] The migrating virtual machine must not have the cache!=none custom property set. ____________ However I can't find any custom property called "cache" under Edit Virtual Machine --> Custom Properties but only "viodiskcache". As a matter of fact, Appendix A of the same guide [2] reports the following statement: "If viodiskcache is enabled, the virtual machine cannot be live migrated" that suggest viodiskcache as the correct parameter. Are the two statements contradictory? Thank you. Stefano Stagnaro [1] https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_virtualization/4.2/ht… [2] https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_virtualization/4.2/ht…

Bad volume specification
by Bryan Sockel 28 May '18

28 May '18

Hi, I am having to rebuild my ovirt instance for a couple of reasons. I have setup a temporary ovirt portal to migrate my setup to while i rebuild my production portal. I have run int a couple of VM's that will no longer start. Everything that i am seeing is identical to this article - https://access.redhat.com/solutions/2423391 VM devel-build is down with error. Exit message: Bad volume specification {'serial': 'ec7a3258-7a99-4813-aa7d-dceb727a1975', 'index': 0, 'iface': 'virtio', 'apparentsize': '1835008', 'specParams': {}, 'cache': 'none', 'imageID': 'ec7a3258-7a99-4813-aa7d-dceb727a1975', 'truesize': '1777664', 'type': 'disk', 'domainID': '2b79768f-a329-4eab-81e0-120a81ac8906', 'reqsize': '0', 'format': 'cow', 'poolID': '9e7d643c-592d-11e8-82eb-005056b41d15', 'device': 'disk', 'path': '/rhev/data-center/9e7d643c-592d-11e8-82eb-005056b41d15/2b79768f-a329-4eab-81e0-120a81ac8906/images/ec7a3258-7a99-4813-aa7d-dceb727a1975/8f4ddee4-68b3-48e9-be27-0231557f5218', 'propagateErrors': 'off', 'name': 'vda', 'bootOrder': '1', 'volumeID': '8f4ddee4-68b3-48e9-be27-0231557f5218', 'diskType': 'file', 'alias': 'ua-ec7a3258-7a99-4813-aa7d-dceb727a1975', 'discard': False}. Currently running version 4.2.3.5-1 Is there anyway to recover the image, or even just be able to mount the drive to another vm to extract data. Thank You

ovirt guest agent epel 6 and rhevm in the name
by Gianluca Cecchi 28 May '18

28 May '18

Hello, I have updated one test environment to 4.2 (it was in 4.1.9) I have a guest in Oracle Linux 6 and epel 6 repo enabled. After powering down and start the VM, I saw the exclamation mark regarding ovirt-guest-agent latest version needed. On the VM the process was dead and I took the time of updatng it from ovirt-guest-agent-1.0.12-4.el6.noarch to ovirt-guest-agent-1.0.13-2.el6.noarch and start the agent. All seems ok; no exclamation mark now and I see the ip addresses of the guest in 4.2 web admin gui. But in log of ovirt-guest-agent I see: MainThread::ERROR::2018-05-28 14:34:55,711::ovirt-guest-agent::140::root::Unhandled exception in oVirt guest agent!

CentOS7 Install Failure to Shutdown
by Matthew Wimpelberg 28 May '18

28 May '18

I have ovirt 4.2.3.5-1.el7.centos installed and am unable to cleanly reboot the host machine. The only way I can reboot is to press and hold the power button which causes an unclean shutdown of the engine vm. I can upload logs if necessary I'm just not sure where to upload them to.
