Failed to configure management network on the host. - oVirt in a KVM
by lejeczek 11 Feb '21

11 Feb '21

Hi guys, I'm trying oVirt in a KVM and I get this: ... [ INFO ] The host has been set in non_operational status, deployment errors: code 505: Host c8ovirt1.private.road installation failed. Failed to configure management network on the host., code 519: Host c8ovirt1.private.road does not comply with the cluster road networks, the following networks are missing on host: 'ovirtmgmt', code 1120: Failed to configure management network on host c8ovirt1.private.road due to setup networks failure., code 9000: Failed to verify Power Management configuration for Host c8ovirt1.private.road., code 10802: VDSM c8ovirt1.private.road command HostSetupNetworksVDS failed: Internal JSON-RPC error: {'reason': 'Failed to find interface to with route table ID 254 to store route rules'}, ... How much of a worry is it and how to fix such KVM vm so oVirt would be happy? many thanks, L.

Re: Newer kernel for oVirt Node NG

Tried it again, it just breaks the boot. After a lot of firefighting found that elrepo kernel-lt doesn't have `xfs` in initramfs image and it fails mounting the lvm which uses xfs # lsinitrd /boot/initramfs-4.18.0-240.1.1.el8_3.x86_64.img | grep xfs.ko -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 442760 Aug 11 2020 usr/lib/modules/4.18.0-240.1.1.el8_3.x86_64/kernel/fs/xfs/xfs.ko.xz Tested kernel-ml and it has the needed xfs module After installing the new kernel, I needed to copy over the "options" line from /boot/loader/entries/ovirt*.conf to the new one. Hope this saves a lot of hair pulling for someone.

OVirt rest api 4.3. How do you get the job id started by the async parameter
by pascal＠butterflyit.com 10 Feb '21

10 Feb '21

I am using the rest api to create a VM, because the VM is cloned from the template and it takes a long time, I am also passing the async parameters hoping to receive back a job id, which I could then query https://xxxxx/ovirt-engine/api/vms?async=true&clone=true however I get the new VM record which is fine but then I have no way of knowing the job id I should query to know when it is finished. And looking at all jobs there is no reference back to the VM execept for the description <job href="/ovirt-engine/api/jobs/d17125c7-6668-4b6c-ad22-95121cb66a31" id="d17125c7-6668-4b6c-ad22-95121cb66a31"> <actions> <link href="/ovirt-engine/api/jobs/d17125c7-6668-4b6c-ad22-95121cb66a31/clear" rel="clear"/> <link href="/ovirt-engine/api/jobs/d17125c7-6668-4b6c-ad22-95121cb66a31/end" rel="end"/> </actions> <description>Creating VM DEMO-PCC-4 from Template MASTER-W10-20H2-CDrive in Cluster d1-c2</description> <link href="/ovirt-engine/api/jobs/d17125c7-6668-4b6c-ad22-95121cb66a31/steps" rel="steps"/> <auto_cleared>true</auto_cleared> <external>false</external> <last_updated>2021-01-21T12:49:06.700-08:00</last_updated> <start_time>2021-01-21T12:48:59.453-08:00</start_time> <status>started</status> <owner href="/ovirt-engine/api/users/0f2291fa-872a-11e9-b13c-00163e449339" id="0f2291fa-872a-11e9-b13c-00163e449339"/> </job>

Re: HostedEngine VM Paused after power failure
by Ian Easter 10 Feb '21

Robert, I understand the sentiment of the difficulty here. The recovery feels brutal but the monolithic nature and the dense ecosystem is understandable for the purpose it serves. I am able to mount the raw disk image for the HostedEngine VM cleanly without any errors and it seems to check out, so I don't believe there is any corruption. Everything looks to operate as expected and then it just seems to snag somewhere through the startup. I suppose I'm just trying to trace down the hiccup to clear it out of the way and let the VM boot up. My knowledge is a bit limited digging in and troubleshooting the components here.

Single Node Hyperconverged - Failing Gluster Setup
by jhamiltonactually＠gmail.com 10 Feb '21

10 Feb '21

Ovirt newbie here - using v 4.4.4 Have been trying for days to get this installed on my HP DL380p G6. I have 2 disk 170GB Raid 0 for OS and 6 x 330GB disk Raid 5 for Gluster. DNS all set up (that took some working out), but I just can't fathom out whats (not) happening here. Block size is returned as 512. I've had some help on Reddit where I've been told that Ovirt is seeing my single local disk ass an multipath device, which it is not/??! I think I removed the flag, but it still fails here. So, Gluster install fails quite early through, though it carries on creating all the volumes (with default settings) but then gives me the 'Deployment Failed' message :( Here is where it fails.... Any help gratefully received!

HostedEngine VM Paused after power failure
by Ian Easter 10 Feb '21

10 Feb '21

Hello Users, We have an oVirt (4.4) environment that had 2 hosts in the cluster. We suffered from a power failure that caused the servers to be offline for some time. Once restored, one of the hosts from the cluster lost its OS raid and is not accessible. The other server has the HostedEngine vm on it but in a paused state. I have tried to manually start the vm with the hosted-engine CLI tool but it indicates that HostedEngine is running on another host. Is there any manual intervention I can accomplish here to start the HostedEngine on the second, active host server? *Thank you,* *Ian Easter* *DevOps Engineer* *TelVue Support* https://www.telvue.com/support/

Random Crash
by francesco＠shellrent.com 09 Feb '21

09 Feb '21

Hi all, I'm experiencing random reboot on several oVirt nodes (CentOS 7/8, oVirt 4.3/4.4 as well). Sometimes it happens three times in a day, and the more hosts I'm adding to my pool, the more I noticing. The logs are not helpful: it's like a brute poweroff cause there are no entries at all in the messages, vdsm, secure (I looked all over the logs) from the last "normal" entry (user logged in/off, normal vdsm log ecc.) until the first entry of the boot. kdump is enabled and /var/crash is empty. I used to run Xen on the servers of the same provider and I didn't have all of these frequent reboots, that's why I'm not sure it is a hardware related issue. Any advice on what enables for getting more info about this crash? Thank you for your time, Francesco

The he_fqdn proposed for the engine VM resolves on this host - error?
by lejeczek 07 Feb '21

07 Feb '21

hi chaps, a newcomer here. I use cockpit to deploy hosted engine and I get this error/warning message: "The he_fqdn proposed for the engine VM resolves on this host" I should mention that if I remove the IP to which FQDN resolves off that iface(plain eth no vlans) then I get this: [ ERROR ] fatal: [localhost]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "msg": "The selected network interface is not valid"} All these errors seem bit too cryptic to me. Could you shed bit light on what is oVirt saying exactly and why it's not happy that way? many thanks, L.

Future of oVirt as RHV is converging with OpenShift
by andrew.prowse＠gmail.com 06 Feb '21

06 Feb '21

What is the future of oVirt with RHV 4.4 being the last RHV release? - see https://access.redhat.com/support/policy/updates/rhev With the release of RHV 4.4 Red Hat continues to invest in and support customers with a production-ready virtualization portfolio. The latest addition to this portfolio is OpenShift with OpenShift Virtualization, which provides continuity and roadmap delivery for the KVM-based virtualization stack currently managed by RHV. Moving forward the RHV management feature set will be converged with OpenShift and OpenShift Virtualization providing customers with requirements for containers and VMs a migration path and a common platform for deploying and managing both.

How to prevent hosts entering emergency mode after upgrade from oVirt 4.4.1 Note: Upgrading from 4.4.2 GA or later should not require re-doing these steps, if already performed while upgrading from 4.4.1 to 4.4.2 GA. These are only required to be done once. Due to Bug 1837864 <https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1837864> - Host enter emergency mode after upgrading to latest build If you have your root file system on a multipath device on your hosts you should be aware that after upgrading from 4.4.1 to 4.4.5 you may get your host entering emergency mode. In order to prevent this be sure to upgrade oVirt Engine first, then on your hosts: 1. Remove the current lvm filter while still on 4.4.1, or in emergency mode (if rebooted). 2. Reboot. 3. Upgrade to 4.4.5 (redeploy in case of already being on 4.4.5). 4. Run vdsm-tool config-lvm-filter to confirm there is a new filter in place. 5. Only if not using oVirt Node: - run "dracut --force --add multipath” to rebuild initramfs with the correct filter configuration 6. Reboot.

Upgrade from 4.4.3 to 4.4.4 (oVirt Node) - vdsmd.service/start failed with result 'dependency'
by Marco Fais 04 Feb '21

04 Feb '21

Hi all, I have just upgraded one of my oVirt nodes from 4.4.3 to 4.4.4. After the reboot, the 4.4.4 image is correctly loaded but vdsmd is not starting due to this error: vdsmd.service: Job vdsmd.service/start failed with result 'dependency'. Looks like it has a dependency on mom-vdsm, and this as well has a dependency issue: mom-vdsm.service: Job mom-vdsm.service/start failed with result 'dependency'. After some investigation looks like mom-vdsm has a dependency on ovsdb-server, and this is the unit creating the problem: ovs-delete-transient-ports.service: Starting requested but asserts failed. Assertion failed for Open vSwitch Delete Transient Ports Failed to start Open vSwitch Database Unit. Details below: -- Unit ovsdb-server.service has begun starting up.

ovirt AD issue
by Jason Keltz 04 Feb '21

04 Feb '21

A while back, I had reconfigured my oVirt engine to auth based on my Samba AD server, and everything was working perfectly fine. oVirt version 4.3.10.4-1. Today, I tried to login with my account into engine and I see: server_error: The connection reader was unable to successfully complete TLS negotiation: SSLHandshakeException(sun.security.validator.ValidatorException: No trusted certificate found), ldapSDKVersion=4.0.7, revision=b28fb50058dfe2864171df2448ad2ad2b4c2ad58 I recently added a secondary domain controller with Samba, and I realize now that there is an error. Since I didn't pre-initialize samba with a TLS certificate, it generated a new CA, and certificate and key for the second server. Since I'm not using the same CA as the first server, ovirt engine (which only has the CA of the first server) won't be able to talk to the second server... no problem.... I will fix that eventually. However, when I re-ran "ovirt-engine-extension-aaa-ldap-setup", and followed the exact steps I did before, ovirt is connecting to the first server, failing with the above error, then connecting to the second server, and the same error. The CA hasn't changed for the first server, nor has the certificate/key. I verified that the CA certificate that I am giving ovirt is matching with the exact CA certificate of the first server. How can I debug further? Jason.

Recovery from power outage
by Roderick Mooi 04 Feb '21

04 Feb '21

Hi! We had a power outage and all our servers (oVirt hosts) went down. When they started up neither the hosted-engine nor VMs were started. hosted-engine --vm-status says: You must run deploy first I tried running deploy with various options but ultimately get stuck at: The Host ID is already known. Is this a re-deployment on an additional host that was previously set up (Yes, No)[Yes]? ... [ ERROR ] Failed to execute stage 'Closing up': <urlopen error [Errno 113] No route to host> OR The specified storage location already contains a data domain. Is this an additional host setup (Yes, No)[Yes]? No [ ERROR ] Re-deploying the engine VM over a previously (partially) deployed system is not supported. Please clean up the storage device or select a different one and retry. NOTES: 1. This is oVirt v3.6 (legacy install, I know...) 2. We do have daily engine backups (.bak files) [till the day the power failed] Any advice/assistance appreciated. Thanks! Roderick

Changes between Node NG 4.4.3 and 4.4.4
by Shantur Rathore 03 Feb '21

03 Feb '21

Hi, I have a node 4.4.3 install and it works perfectly for PCI passthrough. After I upgraded to Node NG 4.4.4 the PCI passthrough leads to server resets. There are no logs in the kernel messages just before reset apart from vfio-pci enabling the device. So, I assume there is some change related to the kernel or vfio-pci driver in the newer 4.4.4 version. How / Where can I see the differences between Node NG releases? Thanks, Shantur

Single Node 4.3 to 4.4 help
by Wesley Stewart 03 Feb '21

03 Feb '21

I have read through many posts and I think this process seems fairly simple. https://www.ovirt.org/documentation/upgrade_guide/#SHE_Upgrading_from_4-3 But I just wanted to see if anyone had any gotchas. I am thinking of either using - RHEL8 (Using developer program, probably best best atm) - Ovirt Node (Is ovirt node being deprecated since it is based on centos?) - Rocky Linux/AlmaLinux/Clear Linux From my understanding I should: - Enter global maintenance - Make a full engine backup - Reinstall to a supported OS - Deploy ovirt engine using backup. Looking forward to trying out Ovirt 4.4!

Ovirt VLAN Primer
by David Johnson 03 Feb '21

03 Feb '21

Good morning all, On my ovirt 4.4.4 cluster, I am trying to use VLan's to separate VM's for security purposes. Is there a usable how-to document that describes how to configure the vlan's so they actually function without taking the host into non-operational mode? Thank you in advance. Regards, David Johnson

Storage domain problems. oVirt 4.4.4.
by Yury Valitsky 02 Feb '21

02 Feb '21

Hi, all. I deployed a new oVirt 4.4.4 installation and imported FC storage domains. However, two storage domains turned out to be empty - they did not have virtual machines in the "VM import" tab, the virtual disks appeared in the "disk import" tab with empty aliases. I downloaded and viewed the OVF_STORE - the old information was partially overwritten by the new one with an empty number of VMs. Trying to restore the VM configuration information, I deployed a backup of the old hosted engine. Version is also 4.4.4. Thus, it was possible to restore OVF_STORE of the first problematic disk domain. But the second storage domain gave an error when updating OVF_STORE. The same error occurs when trying to export a VM or copy a virtual disk to another known good storage domain. At the same time, I successfully download disks from the second storage domain to my PC by clicking the Download button and saving *.raw. But snapshots cannot be saved like this. 1. How can I overwrite OVF_STORE on the second storage domain? If for this I need to restore the oVirt metadata on the storage domain, how can I do it correctly? 2. How can I download VM configuration that has been saved in the hosted engine? Thanks in advance for your help. WBR, Yury Valitsky
