Hi oVirt Community, Anyone in the community was able to use oVirt platform for nvidia SXM environment either on sxm4 or sxm5? We can achieve with KVM with direct libvirt as GPU pass-thourgh but not sure how the functionality works in sxm and VDSM. -De

How to modify the MAC address of a bonding interface after changing the nic card
by wodel youchi 02 Apr '25

02 Apr '25

Hi, ovirt 4.4 on centos 8. We have changed the network card of a hypervisor which uses bonding interface. The bonding interface still uses the old MAC address of the former slave interface. We tried to modify it via CLI but it didn't work, as soon as the node (hypervisor) is activated, the old MAC is reestablished. it seems to be backed up somewhere. Should we reinstall the host? Regards.

graphical console strange issue - certificate's owner does not match hostname - IP address (ovirt 4.5.6)
by eson＠inux.cz 01 Apr '25

Dear proud RHV/Ovirt Hackers, facing strange issue with graphical console - do you have any tips? We successfully run many different clusters, most of them are similar (versions, hw setup). On single one of those, we are facing issue with opening graphical console: Many other clusters are the same setup, the same number of hypervisors, the same versions of OS, packages, ovirt-engine OS, versions and packages... ...and graphical console opens fine. The graphical console setup is the same at all places also: We did comparison of 'console-1.vv' content over many clusters and its content is totaly the same with the faulty one. Meaning there is never hostname, there is always an IP address (not hostname) as the "The certificate's owner does not match hostname 'IP-address'" says: Any tips howto fix this? Best regards Charles Stellen

Observed in 3rd party Firewall monitoring log files that during the Test Connection, the PC Client is trying to reach the Engine Portal in port 54322, instead of 54323 (Image I/O Proxy) Confirmed in engine-config, that ImageTransferProxyEnabled is set to False. SOLUTION To confirm that the ImageTransferProxyEnabled is set to "false", login in the OLVM Engine Host/VM as root, and execute the following command: # engine-config -g ImageTransferProxyEnabled Picked up JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS: -Dcom.redhat.fips=false ImageTransferProxyEnabled: false version: general <<< set to false To enable the Image I/O Proxy and restart the ovirt-engine and ovirt-imageio services perform the following as root: # engine-config -s ImageTransferProxyEnabled=true Picked up JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS: -Dcom.redhat.fips=false ImageTransferProxyEnabled: true version: general <<< set to true # systemctl restart ovirt-engine # systemctl restart ovirt-imageio

Items to be repaired entries
by ziyi Liu 27 Mar '25

27 Mar '25

One of my hosts is faulty and needs to be replaced with a good one. The new host uses the same host name as the old host and the same backend storage name. The recovery process is as follows: 1. Delete the storage volume of the faulty host and the storage volume of the arbitration node. 2. Use the glusterfs ansble script to restore the faulty host. (Create partitions and join peer nodes) 3. Add the storage volume of the new host 4. Wait for data recovery During the data recovery process, it is always stuck at Items to be repaired entries How should I deal with these items

network out of sync
by Nathanaël Blanchet 19 Mar '25

19 Mar '25

Hi, After reinstalling ovirt hosts with alma Linux 9, all my hosts are out of sync on the management bridge. I tried to sync them, but it has no effects. Then I tried "static" and "DHCP" but it has no effect as well. I precise that I was using ovirt node 4.5.5 el9, and the bug wasn't present. It seems to be a bug because, network is okay and there is no other issue using alamlinux 9.5 with latest vdsmd. Thank you for helping. -- Nathanaël Blanchet Administrateur Systèmes et Réseaux Service Informatique et REseau (SIRE) Département des systèmes d'information 227 avenue Professeur-Jean-Louis-Viala 34193 MONTPELLIER CEDEX 5 Tél. 33 (0)4 67 54 84 55 Fax 33 (0)4 67 54 84 14 blanchet(a)abes.fr

Problem with deleting snapshot - no responging VM
by Urbanski.r＠gmail.com 18 Mar '25

18 Mar '25

Hello, I have ovirt-engine version 4.5.6-1.el9, and nodes version 4.5.5. We have about 200 VMs in the environment. So far, backups were performed using snapshot + ovirt API + AWX. The problem started when during backup some machines became unresponsive (it was impossible to get to the console and it happened randomly), Prellocated disks became ThinkProvisioning and it was not possible to delete the snapshot. We decided to skip all scripts and click the snapshot directly in ovirt-engine and then delete it in order to merge. In many cases, these tasks ended successfully, and in random situations the process hung again and the machine became unresponsive. I thought..... maybe it was a performance problem (network to the array, the array itself, etc.). So we set up the dev environment on different hardware (different physical servers and different hardware with ISCSI). I copied one of the sample machines that had problems. I made a snapshot again and merged it using deleting from the ovirt-engine interface. It worked a few times and I decided to do another test I made a snapshot of the test VM and logged into it and used a file about 16GB in size and additionally copied it to another place on the disk and then tried to merge the snapshot and again the VM became unresponsive and it was impossible to delete the snapshot. Has anyone encountered such a problem and has a way to solve it? I am attaching the logs from /var/log/ovirt-engine/engine.log https://pastebin.pl/view/e6e01717
