Downgrading qemu-kvm
by Gary Pedretty 09 Dec '21

09 Dec '21

So even the latest updated to qemu-kvm is still broken in regards to running VMs in Ovirt. I thought I would try Node on a new host and the current install iso, installs version 6.0 of kvm, which still works, but if you do an upgrade on the node host it sill updates to the latest 6.1 version of kvm. Question, how do you downgrade kvm on a node host, the regular yum downgrade does not seem to work on a node host. Gary _______________________________ Gary Pedretty Director of IT Ravn Alaska

oVirt host - yum dependency error
by tferic＠swissonline.ch 08 Dec '21

08 Dec '21

Hi I have an existing oVirt host 4.4 running on CentOS 8, and I am in the process of converting the OS to CentOS Stream. I am getting the following errors: ``` # yum update Last metadata expiration check: 0:03:14 ago on Wed 08 Dec 2021 01:05:55 AM CET.

Notice: The oVirt host is also a gluster storage server (hyperconverged). Thanks Toni

Q35 with BIOS broken
by mediocre.slacker＠protonmail.com 08 Dec '21

08 Dec '21

I've been trying to get oVirt working for a week now with a self-hosted engine setup. Eventually, today, I decided to try a standalone engine and see if I can't at least get that to work, to maybe figure out what the issue is. It seems the default chipset type is Q35 with BIOS. But it fails to boot a VM. I'm not sure where to even look in the logs for this. The VM just never comes up, even though it's shown as being up in the oVirt administration page. I found similar symptoms when trying to set up a hosted-engine on the same machine. The VM would fail health check, and hosted-engine --vm-status would show the VM as up, but health check failing. The VM wasn't available over the network and it never pulled a DHCP lease from my router. I've looked at the logs pretty extensively and couldn't find anything to indicate what the cause of the problem was, or that this was even the problem in the first place. As far as the logs seem to be concerned, the VM is running fine, and it's a network issue.

no QXL ?
by lejeczek 08 Dec '21

08 Dec '21

Hi. I've Qemu/Libvirt from ovirt-release-master-4.5.0-0.0.master.20211206152702.gitebb0229.el9.noarch and it seems QXL is not there. Is that a fluke or intention? Do you have QXL working? many thanks, L.

1. First node that was upgraded now continuously logs this error: VDSM <node name> command Get Host Statistics failed: Internal JSON-RPC error: {'reason': "'str' object has no attribute 'decode'"} 2. During import of two virtual machines from VMware (has done multible before upgrade) the import seems to never finish - currently running on day 2-3... any clues how to fix this? Events VDSM <node name> command Get Host Statistics failed: Internal JSON-RPC error: {'reason': "'str' object has no attribute 'decode'"} running for 2 days every 20 seconds. Please suggest

Hi Team In my one of three node Hyperconverged (gluster + ovirt) setup, one of the storage domain went offline from Datacenter due to 100% storage space utilization, but luckily it is still online in Gluster. how should I properly delete some of the vdisks in that offline stoarge domain from Gluster and bring back to online?

Various issues

Fresh install on CentOS Stream 8. After installing ovirt-hosted-engine-setup, I encounter the following dependency errors when trying to run dnf upgrade: Error: Problem 1: package rsyslog-openssl-8.2102.0-5.el8.x86_64 requires rsyslog = 8.2102.0-5.el8, but none of the providers can be installed - cannot install both rsyslog-8.2102.0-6.el8.x86_64 and rsyslog-8.2102.0-5.el8.x86_64 - cannot install the best update candidate for package rsyslog-openssl-8.2102.0-5.el8.x86_64 - cannot install the best update candidate for package rsyslog-8.2102.0-5.el8.x86_64 Problem 2: package ovirt-host-dependencies-4.4.9-2.el8.x86_64 requires rsyslog-openssl, but none of the providers can be installed - package rsyslog-openssl-8.2102.0-5.el8.x86_64 requires rsyslog = 8.2102.0-5.el8, but none of the providers can be installed - cannot install both rsyslog-8.2102.0-6.el8.x86_64 and rsyslog-8.2102.0-5.el8.x86_64 - package rsyslog-elasticsearch-8.2102.0-6.el8.x86_64 requires rsyslog = 8.2102.0-6.el8, but none of the providers can be installed - cannot install the best update candidate for package rsyslog-elasticsearch-8.2102.0-5.el8.x86_64 - cannot install the best update candidate for package ovirt-host-dependencies-4.4.9-2.el8.x86_64 Problem 3: problem with installed package rsyslog-openssl-8.2102.0-5.el8.x86_64 - package rsyslog-openssl-8.2102.0-5.el8.x86_64 requires rsyslog = 8.2102.0-5.el8, but none of the providers can be installed - cannot install both rsyslog-8.2102.0-6.el8.x86_64 and rsyslog-8.2102.0-5.el8.x86_64 - package rsyslog-mmjsonparse-8.2102.0-6.el8.x86_64 requires rsyslog = 8.2102.0-6.el8, but none of the providers can be installed - cannot install the best update candidate for package rsyslog-mmjsonparse-8.2102.0-5.el8.x86_64 Problem 4: package ovirt-host-4.4.9-2.el8.x86_64 requires ovirt-host-dependencies = 4.4.9-2.el8, but none of the providers can be installed - package ovirt-host-dependencies-4.4.9-2.el8.x86_64 requires rsyslog-openssl, but none of the providers can be installed - package rsyslog-openssl-8.2102.0-5.el8.x86_64 requires rsyslog = 8.2102.0-5.el8, but none of the providers can be installed - cannot install both rsyslog-8.2102.0-6.el8.x86_64 and rsyslog-8.2102.0-5.el8.x86_64 - package rsyslog-mmnormalize-8.2102.0-6.el8.x86_64 requires rsyslog = 8.2102.0-6.el8, but none of the providers can be installed - cannot install the best update candidate for package rsyslog-mmnormalize-8.2102.0-5.el8.x86_64 - cannot install the best update candidate for package ovirt-host-4.4.9-2.el8.x86_64 (try to add '--allowerasing' to command line to replace conflicting packages or '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages or '--nobest' to use not only best candidate packages) Running dnf distro-sync --nobest allows it to proceed, which causes some ovirt packages to be upgraded. Running hosted-engine --deploy and installing with nfs storage, everything goes good up until stage 5, at which point vdsm pegs a core at 100% for some minutes, until the task inevitably fails. hosted-engine --vm-status reports EngineStarting forever. No memory is consumed to indicate that the VM even started. The VM never even tries to get a DHCP lease from my router. All indicators point the vm just not starting, for some reason. Zero useful information available on Google. Zero useful information available in the documentation. Zero useful information available in the logs. No clear cause as to why the hosted engine refuses to start. The NFS share has correct permissions, and can be mounted. The NFS share is on the same host the engine is being installed to, in the same subnet/vlan and, even through the same network adapter. The shared storage works fine for copying the local hosted engine to the shared storage during the setup process and I can see the files have been created.
