[ANN] oVirt 4.4.5 Fifth Release Candidate is now available for testing
by Lev Veyde 16 Feb '21

16 Feb '21

oVirt 4.4.5 Fifth Release Candidate is now available for testing The oVirt Project is pleased to announce the availability of oVirt 4.4.5 Fifth Release Candidate for testing, as of February 11th, 2021. This update is the fifth in a series of stabilization updates to the 4.4 series. 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. Documentation - If you want to try oVirt as quickly as possible, follow the instructions on the Download <https://ovirt.org/download/> page. - For complete installation, administration, and usage instructions, see the oVirt Documentation <https://ovirt.org/documentation/>. - For upgrading from a previous version, see the oVirt Upgrade Guide <https://ovirt.org/documentation/upgrade_guide/>. - For a general overview of oVirt, see About oVirt <https://ovirt.org/community/about.html>. Important notes before you try it Please note this is a pre-release build. The oVirt Project makes no guarantees as to its suitability or usefulness. This pre-release must not be used in production. Installation instructions For installation instructions and additional information please refer to: https://ovirt.org/documentation/ This release is available now on x86_64 architecture for: * Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.3 or newer * CentOS Linux (or similar) 8.3 or newer This release supports Hypervisor Hosts on x86_64 and ppc64le architectures for: * Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.3 or newer * CentOS Linux (or similar) 8.3 or newer * oVirt Node 4.4 based on CentOS Linux 8.3 (available for x86_64 only) See the release notes [1] for installation instructions and a list of new features and bugs fixed. Notes: - oVirt Appliance is already available for CentOS Linux 8 - oVirt Node NG is already available for CentOS Linux 8 - We found a few issues while testing on CentOS Stream so we are still basing oVirt 4.4.5 Node and Appliance on CentOS Linux.

OVN network and external access
by Gianluca Cecchi 16 Feb '21

16 Feb '21

Hello, can I have external access from a VM with vnic configured on OVN network, still maintaining switch type of cluster to Linux Bridge? Or am I forced to use switch type OVS (that seems still in Tech Preview)? Thanks, Gianluca

Re: Ovirt - affinity labels names and virtual machines

Hi, I suggest sending questions to ovirt-users so others could find answers as well as to allow others who might know better chime in as well As to your question, something like this works for me: vms_service = connection.system_service().vms_service() vm_service = vms_service.vm_service('vm-id') affinity_labels = vm_service.affinity_labels_service().list() for affinity_label in affinity_labels: hosts = connection.follow_link(affinity_label.hosts) for host in hosts: print(connection.follow_link(host).name) (I am not sure where exactly the problem is in your code) On Mon, Feb 15, 2021 at 2:32 PM Lavi Bochnik <lavi.bochnik(a)gmail.com> wrote: > > Hello Benny, > > Not sure if I can email you directly, but you helped me once. > I have some VM's which are labeled with specific affinity. > Via API I would like to get a VM affinity label, in order to later get the hosts defined under that affinity. > I tried many ways as: > vm = vms_service.list(search='<vm_name>')[0] > print(vm.affinity_labels) > > or: > for affinity_label in affinity_labels: > print("%s:" % affinity_label.name) > for vm_link in connection.follow_link(affinity_label.vms): > vm = connection.follow_link(vm_link) > print(" - %s" % vm.name) > > Getting an href error: Error: The URL '/ovirt-engine/api/affinitylabels/0d68b36e-455a-4054-9958-0503d54a18db/vms' isn't compatible with the base URL of the connection > > Href's are looking fine, as: > In [77]: for x in affinity_labels_service.list(): > ...: print(x.href) > > /ovirt-engine/api/affinitylabels/0d68b36e-455a-4054-9958-0503d54a18db > /ovirt-engine/api/affinitylabels/862df742-fdc4-4eb0-933c-027729e2187d > /ovirt-engine/api/affinitylabels/686d96a6-0c9c-4fb7-b453-a79cbd48790b > /ovirt-engine/api/affinitylabels/6d42df24-c4b1-45e7-8029-0ce26b8ed73d > > Or this: > > 1 for affinity_label in affinity_labels: > ----> 2 for h in connection.follow_link(affinity_label.hosts): > 3 print(h) > 4 > 5 > > /usr/local/lib64/python3.6/site-packages/ovirtsdk4/__init__.py in follow_link(self, obj) > 782 raise Error( > 783 "The URL '%s' isn't compatible with the base URL of the " > --> 784 "connection" % href > 785 ) > 786 > > Error: The URL '/ovirt-engine/api/affinitylabels/0d68b36e-455a-4054-9958-0503d54a18db/hosts' isn't compatible with the base URL of the connection > > Not clear what is the right way to get a VM affinity hosts list. > > Thanks, > Lavi

Single Node Hyperconverged - Failing Engine Deployment - Network setup?
by jhamiltonactually＠gmail.com 15 Feb '21

15 Feb '21

Ovirt newbie here - installing v 4.4.4 (well, trying to!) Following my post about failing Gluster setup, I can't get the self hosted engine to deploy. I'm installing 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, but Im realizing I'm missing something here. I have a feeling my problems with Gluster/Engine were caused by incorrect network setup. Seems I'm not the 1st to fall at this hurdle - some people in the community are saying RH have made it's deliberately difficult to get these 'free' set-ups working. It does feel a little like that! Most instructions just say that a 'self hosted, hyperconverged, single node setup requires 2 nics' - and that's about it! That is the 'Networking Pre-requisites'! I've had some help on here and Reddit which eventually made me find a solution some had had to use - editing lvm.conf to make sure my drive (sdb) was being blacklisted correctly. So, with that, Gluster installs, with following DNS settings: The kvm host (ovirt-kvm.whichelo.com) is fixed ip 192.168.0.40 on my 1st nic (Enp0s7) ovirt-engine.whichelo.com - 192.168.0.50 and ovirt-gluster.whichelo.com on 192.168.0.60 - I created I VLAN linked to the nic i want to use for gluster (Enp0s8) and gluster install worked. So now hosted engine won't install,, and pretty sure it's because I don't know how to set the network up properly. I'm seeing virbr0 coming up with different ip's - sometimes 192.168.1.1, sometimes 192.168.222.1. From what I've read, this is something to do with the Engine's network, but I really don't know! Am I still missing something? I can't find any decent instructions on how to do this - how (exactly) to configure the 2 'minimum required' nics? I came to Ovirt after realizing Oracle were dumping their own Virtualization platform in favour of KVM. Couldn't set it up from Oracle so moved to Red Hat - that was a no, and I was at the point where it made most sense to just run an Ovirt node for my KVM. I've got much further with Ovirt, but instructions do not work as easily as they looked! (example 'just click on single node hyperconverged' which didn't work straight off the bat until removing that LVM filter, which took days to find out! The single node HC server is a great match for a home lab/server like mine. I don't want another server, let alone another 2! I'm doing this partly as hobby, but also to update my skills during lockdown. Surely if we can get people using things like this at home, they're more likely to end up using it for work one day? Any help, or just pointing in the right direction, gratefully received! Hopefully I'm a biit clearer here. Happy to provide any logs or anything else.... Thank you!

VM stuck in reboot
by Michael Schmid 14 Feb '21

14 Feb '21

Hi All, I am running on 4.4.4.7-1.el8 I messed up. I was doing some weekend maintenance on VMs and some VMs needed to be stopped and some rebooted and I stopped one, thought I clicked on the next one and clicked shutdown. But... I clicked reboot and shutdown on the same VM, now it is stuck. The Overview in the engine shows the VM "Reboot In Progress" and it has for two weeks at this point, it was a fresh VM so I just created a new one until I had this figured out, but here I am. Clicking "Shutdown" does nothing but generate an error, same with "Power Off" the error I get is --- 2021-02-10 12:04:03,460-05 INFO [org.ovirt.engine.core.bll.StopVmCommand] (EE-ManagedThreadFactory-engine-Thread-244169) [c3ce0a41-3f53-4f3e-993f-0d75f62cc8e6] Running command: StopVmCommand internal: false.

Cockpit and Gluster
by C Williams 14 Feb '21

14 Feb '21

Hello, I have a hardware RAID 10 array and want to use Cockpit to deploy a hosted engine with replica 3 Gluster. Should I pick the JBOD option for this ? Will my disk alignments be correct for my PVs, VGs, LVs and xfs formatting? I don't see RAID 10. I see where it was removed in 4.2.8 -- I think. Thank You All For Your Help !

Justas Stankūnas <stankunas.justas(a)gmail.com> Wed, Feb 10, 11:29 PM (10 hours ago) to infra-owner Hi, so i have just installed oVirt on 4 nodes (oVirt node 4.4.4) with a hosted engine. For storage I have TrueNAS dedicated machine for NFS. hosts are all identical Lenovo thinkcentre m92 with (Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-3470T CPU @ 2.90GHz and 16 GB of RAM). everything is connected with a physical managed switch over 1Gbps each. everything is setup without any additional configuration. There is only a single vm (hosted engine). but hosts are constant errors and warnings being presented and I am lost even from where to start looking.

export a VM to export domain in 4.4.4
by Gianluca Cecchi 12 Feb '21

Hello, in 4.4.4 I see that I can import from export domain, but if I select "export VM" I can only export to a storage domain.... is this by design? What if I want to export from 4.4.4 and import into an older oVirt version? Thanks, Gianluca

Hi, I filed a bugzilla report about the problem a while ago, but since I got so much better feedback here on the list, about different issue though, I thought I should try here again. I attempt to deploy hosted engine and it fails: ...

One possibly major difference is that hardware has multiple ifaces as oppose to single iface in KVM. For any thoughts you care to share I'll be grateful. thanks, L

lxd, openvz in kvm have issues connecting to public phys network
by david duchovny 12 Feb '21

12 Feb '21

hi ovirt 444 lxd, openvz in kvm have issues connecting to public network i can't to allow access to physical interface. In general i cannot seem to get containers direct access to the network e.g. in order to pull a dhcp address from my public network. I have tried macvlan, bridge mode, openvswitch as well. there are no connection issues on the baremetal server, but this issue exists on the kvm vm how to fix it?

Re: [External] : Using VNC console on new cluster
by Simon Coter 12 Feb '21

12 Feb '21

Hi Matthew, this is a known issue for 4.3.6 release (OLVM or oVirt). You should check if your KVM cluster has VNC Encryption enabled; if this is the case you should: * disable VNC console for your Cluster (by OLVM/oVirt) * Comment out line "vnc_tls=1" in /etc/libvirt/qemu.conf on the KVM host. * Go to OLVM Web Console, Compute -> Hosts -> select <KVM host> -> Management -> Maintenance, then Installation -> Reinstall, to apply above change. * After above step reinstall KVM host, launch novnc VM console works fine. Hope this helps. Simon On Feb 12, 2021, at 12:25 AM, Matthew.Stier(a)fujitsu.com<mailto:Matthew.Stier@fujitsu.com> wrote: I’m running OLVM 4.3.6 (Consider it oVIrt 4.3.6).

Keyboard mapping issue in oVirt portal VM using VNC console in HTML5
by Alessio Battaglia 11 Feb '21

11 Feb '21

Hi to all, during Windows 10 virtual machine utilization on the Portal VM, managed by oVirt as a standalone Manager with local databases and connected by HTML5 VNC console is totally impossible to use alt-gr. The keyboard layout is IT and I can't use for example the @ character. I have follow the official guideline for my environment but this can't solve the issue. https://www.ovirt.org/develop/release-management/features/integration/webso… Thank you very much!

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

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.
