nodectl on plain CentOS hypervisors
by Gianluca Cecchi 23 Aug '19

23 Aug '19

Does it make sense to install nodectl utility on plain CentOS 7.x nodes? Or any other alternative for plain OS nodes vs ovirt-node-ng ones? On my updated CentOS 7.6 oVirt node I have not the command; I think it is provided by the package ovirt-node-ng-nodectl, that is one of the available ones if I run "yum search" on the system. Thanks Gianluca

oVirt 3.6: Node went into Error state while migrations happening
by Christopher Cox 23 Aug '19

23 Aug '19

On the node in question, the metadata isn't coming across (state) wise. It shows VMs being in an unknown state (some are up and some are down), some show as migrating and there are 9 forever hung migrating tasks. We tried to bring up some of the down VMs that had a state of Down, but that ended up getting them the state of "Wait for Lauch", though those VMs are actually started. Right now, my plan is attempt a restart of vdsmd on the node in question. Just trying to get the node to a working state again. There a total of 9 nodes in our cluster, but we can't manage any VMs on the affected node right now. Is there a way in 3.6 to cancel the hung tasks? I'm worried that if vdsmd is restarted on the node, the tasks might be "attempted"... I really need them to be forgotten if possible. Ideally want all "Unknown" to return to either an "up" or "down" state (depending if the VM is up or down) and for "Wait for Launch" for those, to go to "up" and for all the "Migrating" to go to "up" or "down" (I think only one is actually down). I'm concerned that any attempt manually maniplate the state in the ovirt mgmt head db will be moot because the node will be queried for state and that state will be taken and override anything I attempt to do. Thoughts??

large size OVA import fails
by jason.l.cox＠l3harris.com 22 Aug '19

22 Aug '19

I have a fairly large OVA (~200GB) that was exported from oVirt4.3.5. I'm trying to import it into a new cluster, also oVirt4.3.5. The import starts fine but fails again and again. Everything I can find online appears to be outdated, mentioning incorrect log file locations and saying virt-v2v does the import. On the engine in /var/log/ovirt-engine/engine.log I can see where it is doing the CreateImageVDSCommand, then a few outputs concerning adding the disk, which end with USER_ADD_DISK_TO_VM_FINISHED_SUCCESS, then the ansible command: 2019-08-20 15:40:38,653-04 Executing Ansible command: /usr/bin/ansible-playbook --ssh-common-args=-F /var/lib/ovirt-engine/.ssh/config -v --private-key=/etc/pki/ovirt-engine/keys/engine_id_rsa --inventory=/tmp/ansible-inventory8416464991088315694 --extra-vars=ovirt_import_ova_path="/mnt/vm_backups/myvm.ova" --extra-vars=ovirt_import_ova_disks="['/rhev/data-center/mnt/glusterSD/myhost.mydomain.com:_vmstore/59502c8b-fd1e-482b-bff7-39c699c196b3/images/886a3313-19a9-435d-aeac-64c2d507bb54/465ce2ba-8883-4378-bae7-e231047ea09d']" --extra-vars=ovirt_import_ova_image_mappings="{}" /usr/share/ovirt-engine/playbooks/ovirt-ova-import.yml [Logfile: /var/log/ovirt-engine/ova/ovirt-import-ova-ansible-20190820154038-myhost.mydomain.com-25f6ac6f-9bdc-4301-b896-d357712dbf01.log] Then nothing about the import until: 2019-08-20 16:11:08,859-04 INFO [org.ovirt.engine.core.bll.exportimport.ImportVmFromOvaCommand] (EE-ManagedThreadFactory-engineScheduled-Thread-88) [3321d4f6] Lock freed to object 'EngineLock:{exclusiveLocks='[myvm=VM_NAME, 464a25ba-8f0a-421d-a6ab-13eff67b4c96=VM]', sharedLocks=''}' 2019-08-20 16:11:08,894-04 ERROR [org.ovirt.engine.core.dal.dbbroker.auditloghandling.AuditLogDirector] (EE-ManagedThreadFactory-engineScheduled-Thread-88) [3321d4f6] EVENT_ID: IMPORTEXPORT_IMPORT_VM_FAILED(1,153), Failed to import Vm myvm to Data Center Default, Cluster Default I've found the import logs on the engine, in /var/log/ovirt-engine/ova, but the ovirt-import-ova-ansible*.logs for the imports of concern only contain: 2019-08-20 19:59:48,799 p=44701 u=ovirt | Using /usr/share/ovirt-engine/playbooks/ansible.cfg as config file 2019-08-20 19:59:49,271 p=44701 u=ovirt | PLAY [all] ********************************************************************* 2019-08-20 19:59:49,280 p=44701 u=ovirt | TASK [ovirt-ova-extract : Run extraction script] ******************************* Watching the host selected for the import, I can see the qemu-img convert process running, but then the engine frees the lock on the VM and reports the import as having failed. However, the qemu-img process continues to run on the host. I don't know where else to look to try and find out what's going on and I cannot see anything that says why the import failed. Since the qemu-img process on the host is still running after the engine log shows the lock has been freed and import failed, I'm guessing what's happening is on the engine side. Looking at the time between the start of the ansible command and when the lock is freed it is consistently around 30 minutes. # first try 2019-08-20 15:40:38,653-04 ansible command start 2019-08-20 16:11:08,859-04 lock freed 31 minutes # second try 2019-08-20 19:59:48,463-04 ansible command start 2019-08-20 20:30:21,697-04 lock freed 30 minutes, 33 seconds # third try 2019-08-21 09:16:42,706-04 ansible command start 2019-08-21 09:46:47,103-04 lock freed 30 minutes, 45 seconds With that in mind, I took a look at the available configuration keys from engine-config --list. After getting each the only one set to ~30 minutes and looks like it could be the problem was SSHInactivityHardTimeoutSeconds (set to 1800 seconds). I set it to 3600 and tried the import again, but it still failed at ~30 minutes, so that's apparently not the correct key. Also, just FYI, I also tried to import the ova using virt-v2v, but that fails immediately: virt-v2v: error: expecting XML expression to return an integer (expression: rasd:Parent/text(), matching string: 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000) If reporting bugs, run virt-v2v with debugging enabled and include the complete output: virt-v2v -v -x [...] Does virt-v2v not support OVAs created by the oVirt 'export to ova' option? So my main question is, Is there a timeout for VM imports through the engine web UI? And if so, is if configurable? Thanks in advance.

VM won't migrate back to original node
by Alexander Schichow 22 Aug '19

22 Aug '19

I set up a high available VM which is using a shareable LUN. When migrating said VM from the original Node everything is fine. When I try to migrate it back, I get an error. If I suspend or shutdown the VM, it returns to the original host. Then it repeats. I'm really out of ideas so maybe any of you happen to have any? I would really appreciate that. Thanks

Custum driver in oVirt node image?
by thomas＠hoberg.net 22 Aug '19

22 Aug '19

Using 3 Mini-ITX Atoms J5005 boards to build a three node HC test environment (actually there is a fourth to simulate a remote DC) These boards have a RealTek 8169 Gbit controller, which for hardware/firmware or driver reasons comes up just fine on cold boots, but struggles on warm-boots or whenever the interface is re-configured, as is the case when the OVS overlay is configured, ... * unless link-speed autonegotiation is enabled after which it works just fine. So for a normal system, I can just put a proper ETHTOOL_OPTS="autoneg on" into /etc/sysconfig/network-scrkipts/ifcfg-<device-name> to avoid trouble on warm boots, but once the overlay network is put on top, the network manager no longer controls the device and the standard "ignore" setting of driver/hardware evidently causes the link to fail: dmesg reports the interface toggling and ovs isn't happy either. The Ethernet switch is unmanaged, so there is nothing I can do there to speed up or eliminate negotiations, and I currently see three options: 1. Find/be told where to renable Ethernet link speed autonegotiation with the OVS/VDSM/?? so the RTL8169 is happy again 2. Use a known USB3 GBit NIC (no space in the chassis to put e.g. an Intel NIC) 3. Make an USB3 2.5Gbit NIC based on RealTek's 8156 work, but currently that requires compiling from source and loading it at boot Option 3 works just fine with a CentOS base, but I got tons of problem making oVirt hosted engine work with that. Option 3 for the oVirt node image seems to class with the read-only nature of the oVirt node imge: While I can load a pre-compile driver interactively, I can't make it stick with dracut -f. I haven't immediately found a way to patch/fix/build derivative oVirt node images with that driver included and am somewhat to impatient to wait until it's mainstream, so any help would be appreciated. I've verified option 2 with a single USB3 GBit adapter natively supported by the kernel that I already had available, but I then opted to jump the gun and buy the slightly more expensive 2.5GBit variant as a better match to a Gluster environment: A mistake in this context as it turned out.

Eventually you can modify initiatorname of a node before running discovery against oVirt and rebooting it (or restarting iscsi services). You can edit the file or use the iscsi-iname command. It must be named with an iqn name in the format of iqn.YYYY-MM.reverse.domain.name:OptionalIdentifier Typically you configure your iSCSI storage array giving access to the lun to be used as a storage domain to all oVirt hosts initiators. Or you can use chap authentication or both Se also here: https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/7/ht… https://www.certdepot.net/rhel7-configure-iscsi-target-initiator-persistent… HIH, Gianluca
