Engine backup / restore
by duparchy＠esrf.fr 20 Oct '21

20 Oct '21

Hi, I'm testing Backup / Restore of the engine. Once the engine is restored ; how to resync the engine database with the "reality" of the Storage Domains ? (I'm talking about anything that could have been done after the engine backup : Deleted / Created VMs ; Snapshots taken since the backup, etc.. I'm on 4.3, Oracle LVM context. My Tests : - Create a snapshot of some random VM. Say VM-1 - Enable that VM preview and start it on a host. - Stop OLVM engine server. - Start a full backup copy of that OLVM engine (That backup being a snapshot taken, say, yesterday. Our test OLVM engine being a VM running in another separate virltualization infrastucture.) The restored OLVM does not show the existence of the VM-1 snapshot. It only shows the VM running on the active instance. No snapshot. I tried Storage Domain / Scan disks. No refresh to be seen.

prod network glitch after reboot lab server
by Dominique D 20 Oct '21

20 Oct '21

Hi, I have two ovirt environments on the same network. 2 switches (10G switch for storage and 1G switch for data / management) 1) Prod environment: 3 oVirt 4.4.6 nodes (1 port 10G per node for storage gluster and 1 port 1G for data / management) 2) Lab environment 2 oVirt nodes 4.4.6 (1 Port 10G per node for storage gluster and 1 port 1G for data / management) The storage is on the same vlan and subnet for both environments. When I restart one of my lab servers, I have communication cuts/glitch on my production ovirt clusters. I even had server reboots. Do you know why ? Here somes log : VDSM ovnode1.telecom.lan command SpmStatusVDS failed: Connection timeout for host 'ovnode1.telecom.lan', last response arrived 42479 ms ago. Host ovnode1.telecom.lan is not responding. It will stay in Connecting state for a grace period of 88 seconds and after that an attempt to fence the host will be issued. Invalid status on Data Center Default. Setting Data Center status to Non Responsive (On host ovnode1.telecom.lan, Error: Network error during communication with the Host.). Host ovnode1.telecom.lan cannot access the Storage Domain(s) datassd attached to the Data Center Default. Setting Host state to Non-Operational.

Ovirt VM started with the most recent snapshot with the current disk missing
by Xiaoyu Hu 20 Oct '21

20 Oct '21

Dear Ovirt folks, I am faced with a very strange situation with Ovirt 4.3. A virtual machine has two snapshots and a working disk, with the former two snapshots being read only and the working one read-write. After an unplanned power outage, a virtual machine can only be started with the recent snapshot, and the actual working disk is missing in the Ovirt UI. I can see the disk still exists in the backend storage, but it seems not Ovirt does not know it. Thus the VM lose the recent data on the missing disk. Does any one know whether this is a known bug in Ovirt 4.3, or is there a method to resotre the missing working disk back to the virtuanl machine? Otherwise i am faced with a terrible data loss issue on Ovirt best regards, Samuel

GPG key <infra@ovirt.org> expired since April ?
by Fredrik Arneving 20 Oct '21

20 Oct '21

Hi, According to output pasted below it seems that the GPG key used to sign installation media has expired 2021-04-03. Why is new installation ISO signed 7 days ago with a key that has been expired for almost 6 months? Is this correct? My main question though is if this iso is authentic? $ ll -h ovirt-node-ng-installer-4.4.8-2021090310.el8.iso* -rw-r--r--. 1 fredde fredde 1.9G Oct 1 14:48 ovirt-node-ng-installer-4.4.8-2021090310.el8.iso -rw-r--r--. 1 fredde fredde 32 Oct 1 14:48 ovirt-node-ng-installer-4.4.8-2021090310.el8.iso.md5sum -rw-r--r--. 1 fredde fredde 490 Oct 1 14:48 ovirt-node-ng-installer-4.4.8-2021090310.el8.iso.md5sum.sig $ gpg --list-keys oVirt pub rsa2048 2014-03-30 [SC] [expired: 2021-04-03] 31A5D7837FAD7CB286CD3469AB8C4F9DFE590CB7 uid [ expired] oVirt <infra(a)ovirt.org> $ gpg --verify-files *.sig gpg: assuming signed data in 'ovirt-node-ng-installer-4.4.8-2021090310.el8.iso.md5sum' gpg: Signature made Thu 23 Sep 2021 02:41:24 PM CEST gpg: using RSA key AB8C4F9DFE590CB7 gpg: Good signature from "oVirt <infra(a)ovirt.org>" [expired] gpg: Note: This key has expired!

UEFI Guest can only be started on UEFI host (4.4)
by nroach44＠nroach44.id.au 20 Oct '21

20 Oct '21

Hi All, A problem I've just "dealt with" over the past months is that the two UEFI VMs I have installed (One Windows 10, one RHEL8) will only start on the oVirt Node (4.4.x, still an issue on 4.4.8) hosts that have been installed using UEFI. In the case of both guests, they will "start" but get stuck on a small 640x480-ish black screen, with no CPU or disk activity. It looks as if the VM has been started with "Start paused" enabled, but the VM is not paused. I've noticed that this matches the normal startup of the guest, although it only spends a second or two like that before TianoCore takes over. Occasionally, I'm able to migrate the VM to a BIOS host. When it fails, the following is seen on the /sending/ host: 2021-09-21 20:09:42,915+0800 ERROR (migsrc/86df93bc) [virt.vm] (vmId='86df93bc-3304-4002-8939-cbefdea4cc60') internal error: qemu unexpectedly closed the monitor: 2021-09-21T12:08:57.355188Z qemu-kvm: warning: Spice: reds.c:2305:reds_handle_read_link_done: spice channels 1 should be encrypted 2021-09-21T12:08:57.393585Z qemu-kvm: warning: Spice: reds.c:2305:reds_handle_read_link_done: spice channels 3 should be encrypted 2021-09-21T12:08:57.393805Z qemu-kvm: warning: Spice: reds.c:2305:reds_handle_read_link_done: spice channels 4 should be encrypted 2021-09-21T12:08:57.393960Z qemu-kvm: warning: Spice: reds.c:2305:reds_handle_read_link_done: spice channels 2 should be encrypted 2021-09-21T12:09:40.799119Z qemu-kvm: warning: TSC frequency mismatch between VM (3099980 kHz) and host (3392282 kHz), and TSC scaling unavailable 2021-09-21T12:09:40.799228Z qemu-kvm: error: failed to set MSR 0x204 to 0x1000000000 qemu-kvm: ../target/i386/kvm/kvm.c:2778: kvm_buf_set_msrs: Assertion `ret == cpu->kvm_msr_buf->nmsrs' failed.

Power Saving schedule, hosts not shutting down
by Maton, Brett 20 Oct '21

20 Oct '21

Hi, I'm having trouble with the power_saving Scheduling Policy not shutting down idle hosts Policy is more or less default, I added 'HostsInReserve 0' too see if that would help, and then 24hrs later I bumped CpuOverCommitDurationMinutes to 15 that didn't make a difference either. (not unexpected as the CPU is only being tickled by two small VMs at the moment). 3x Dell Hosts with iDRAC 8 management cards, power management configured and functional. oVrit 4.4.8.6-1.el8 Thanks in advance for any help Brett
