Unable to attach VLAN-based logical networks to a bond oVirt 4.4
by simon＠justconnect.ie 13 Nov '20

13 Nov '20

When attempting to add a VLAN to a bonded interface (Broadcom NICs) in oVirt Management portal the process fails as per: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1860479 This issue has rendered mu upgrade to 4.4 useless. Does anyone have a patched kernel to resolve this please? Regards Shimme

Ballooning disabled when creating a VmPool
by Nicolás 13 Nov '20

13 Nov '20

Hi, We're using oVirt 4.3.8 along with ovirt-engine-sdk-python (4.4.1) to handle our pools. Pools are based on a template which has ballooning enabled. However, when deploying a VmPool based on that template, has the "Ballooning enabled" field disabled, uneditable and an icon which states: "The field is not attached to any instance type" (screenshot attached). We're handling a big number of VMs based on pools (> 1500), and we think this should be enabled. However, I don't see a field in the types.VmPool definition that allows that. Is that even doable? Our Python code is similar to this: newpool = types.VmPool(name='test', cluster=cl, template=t, max_user_vms=1, size=1, type=types.VmPoolType.MANUAL) vmpool_serv.add(newpool) * cl is a types.Cluster instance with ballooning_enabled=True * t is a types.Template instance with Ballooning enabled. Thanks. Nico

Old and new hardware mix
by nick＠creativitysoftware.net 12 Nov '20

12 Nov '20

Hi All, I've just joined the mailing list as my organisation needs a new virtualisation solution. VMware is prohibitively expensive for a small company like ours and of all the opensource solutions, oVirt looks like the best fit for our needs. Our existing virtual infrastructure is primarily made up of an old vSphere 5 cluster (expired license on old and out of warranty hardware) and a couple of newer standalone (free) ESXi servers. Both the cluster and the standalones have shared NFS storage so I can move VMs around. I want to take a couple of older (2014ish) servers which will serve as the management host and one compute node initially. Then, I'd like to migrate VMs from one vSphere host at a time to the newly created oVirt cluster and convert the now empty vSphere ESXi hosts into oVirt compute nodes as I go. Firstly - Would new compute host hardware (2020) work in a (2014) based ovirt cluster? If so Would I be able to take advantage of the more advanced features of ovirt like live migration etc.. with a mix of new and old hardware Thanks

Re: sshd_config AuthorizedKeysFile
by Strahil Nikolov 12 Nov '20

What happens when you change the default, but also add a "Match" directive overriding that option for the engine ? Best Regards, Strahil Nikolov В четвъртък, 12 ноември 2020 г., 10:01:12 Гринуич+2, Angus Clarke <angus(a)charworth.com> написа: Hello Sharing for anyone who needs it, this was carried out on OL7, they use ovirt 4.3 In short: both the hosted-engine deployment routine and the host add to cluster routine distribute public ssh keys to /root/.ssh/authorized_keys regardless of the AuthorizedKeysFile setting in /etc/ssh/sshd_config. Both routines fail if AuthorizedKeysfile is not default. The hosted-engine setup assumes AuthorizedKeysFile to be default (~/.ssh/authorized_keys) and creates a public key there, instead of following the sshd_config directive. The setup fails on the back of this. Once I commented this out of sshd_config file (assumes default) and restarted sshd on the KVM host that was running the hosted-engine deployment, the hosted-engine setup completed successfully. Similarly, I could not deploy a second KVM host to the compute cluster until I had altered this setting on that 2nd KVM host - presumably that process has some similar routine that unwittingly writes keys to ~/.ssh/authorized_keys.HTH Angus _______________________________________________ Users mailing list -- users(a)ovirt.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave(a)ovirt.org Privacy Statement: https://www.ovirt.org/privacy-policy.html oVirt Code of Conduct: https://www.ovirt.org/community/about/community-guidelines/ List Archives: https://lists.ovirt.org/archives/list/users@ovirt.org/message/UMJ4Y622RALUU…

rhv 4.3.11 but not ovirt 4.3.11
by Gianluca Cecchi 12 Nov '20

12 Nov '20

Hello, I see that a 4.3.11 version is available for downstream RHV but not for upstream oVirt. Will it be released for oVirt too? Are there only security fixes inside or also bug fixes (like the few lines one related to export as OVA)? Thanks, Gianluca

oVrit 4.3.10 on CentOS 7.9
by Christoph Timm 12 Nov '20

12 Nov '20

Hi list, I want to update my oVirt installation to 4.3.10 on the weekend to get ready to move to 4.4 by end of December. Would it be OK to update to oVirt 4.3.10 on CentOS 7.9 which was release today? Best regards Christoph

[ANN] oVirt 4.4.4 First Release Candidate is now available for testing
by Lev Veyde 12 Nov '20

12 Nov '20

oVirt 4.4.4 First Release Candidate is now available for testing The oVirt Project is pleased to announce the availability of oVirt 4.4.4 First Release Candidate for testing, as of November 12th, 2020. This update is the fourth 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 4.4.4 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 4.4.4 (redeploy in case of already being on 4.4.4). 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 8.2 or newer * CentOS Linux (or similar) 8.2 or newer This release supports Hypervisor Hosts on x86_64 and ppc64le architectures for: * Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.2 or newer * CentOS Linux (or similar) 8.2 or newer * oVirt Node 4.4 based on CentOS Linux 8.2 (available for x86_64 only) See the release notes [1] for installation instructions and a list of new features and bugs fixed.

If you still have the logs, please file a bug and attach them, and perhaps point out what you'd expect there that is missing (or just let us look at them, and if we decide that the information there is enough, we'll ask you, after finding the most relevant line). Generally speaking, and assuming your only problem was in "Add host to engine" flow (specifically also during hosted-engine deploy), you should find these logs in the _engine_ machine, in /var/log/ovirt-engine (and subdirs). The deploy process also tries to copy these logs to the _host_, under /var/log/ovirt-hosted-engine-setup, and this part was enhanced somewhat in 4.4.3 (see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/1844965 ).

Hi, could you please try if ssh-copy-id works with your non-standard sshd configuration? Because last time I've checked I haven't noticed that behavior and keys were always added to $HOME/.ssh/authorized_keys So feel free to create a bug for that, but up until now you are the first user using this non-standard configuration ...

Re: Cluster compatibility version 4.5 on oVirt 4.4
by Christopher Law 12 Nov '20

12 Nov '20

I should have pointed out that in my case the hosted engine failed to install. After the Local VM came up the host was marked as non-operational because the cluster (which I had given a custom name via ansible input) was set to compatibility 4.5 and was not changeable. No idea why the cluster was created at 4.5 if that is not supposed to be available yet or marked for some sort of future release. This caused the host to be non-operational with a warning that the “host” needed upgrading, so perhaps it’s a slightly different issue to that faced below. If you have faced this issue though I would appreciated some advice on how to resolve it. I noticed the default cluster was marked as 4.4. My plan is therefore to re-install the hosted engine and use the “Default” datacentre and cluster names and changes these later.

Cluster compatibility version 4.5 on oVirt 4.4
by tferic＠swissonline.ch 12 Nov '20

12 Nov '20

Hi Today, I upgraded oVirt from 4.3 to 4.4.3. After the upgrade, I upgraded the compatibility from 4.3 to 4.4. I noticed that the cluster config is offering me another upgrade of the compatibility to version 4.5. Up until now, I was under the impression that the compatibility version must match the oVirt version. I am now reluctant to upgrade the compatibility to 4.5, while my oVirt version is still at 4.4 (there is no oVirt 4.5 at this time). Is it safe to upgrade the compatibility in any case, or are there certain circumstances, where we should refrain from upgrading it? I wasn't able to find anything in the documentation. Kind regards Toni Feric

Thanks for the report. Would you like to open one or two bugs about this? I think it's just bug, though - from searching relevant source - in the code adding a host to the engine. This code is also used during hosted-engine deploy. We also have code there to add lines to this file on the appliance (engine vm image), but I do not believe users will work so hard as to update the image before deploy. So one bug is probably enough. To make sure, please include there all relevant details about how "they" (your customer?) configure their machines - e.g. is it only during their installation (image/PXE/etc.) or also routinely (puppet etc.) I admit I am not sure what the expected behavior should be, though: An admin can run sshd with a custom file. So should we also check that? Perhaps it's enough if we allow the admin to set a custom location also for oVirt, instead of trying to guess. And make sure that the failure error message is clear and unique enough so that people searching the net for it find your bug, so can find how to configure it :-) Best regards, -- Didi

sshd_config AuthorizedKeysFile
by Angus Clarke 12 Nov '20

12 Nov '20

Hello Sharing for anyone who needs it, this was carried out on OL7, they use ovirt 4.3 In short: both the hosted-engine deployment routine and the host add to cluster routine distribute public ssh keys to /root/.ssh/authorized_keys regardless of the AuthorizedKeysFile setting in /etc/ssh/sshd_config. Both routines fail if AuthorizedKeysfile is not default. The hosted-engine setup assumes AuthorizedKeysFile to be default (~/.ssh/authorized_keys) and creates a public key there, instead of following the sshd_config directive. The setup fails on the back of this. Once I commented this out of sshd_config file (assumes default) and restarted sshd on the KVM host that was running the hosted-engine deployment, the hosted-engine setup completed successfully. Similarly, I could not deploy a second KVM host to the compute cluster until I had altered this setting on that 2nd KVM host - presumably that process has some similar routine that unwittingly writes keys to ~/.ssh/authorized_keys.

Hi Guys! I need to upgrade from 3.6 to 4.3 and I have a doubt. Do I need to restard VMs for each upgrade (DC Compatibilty 1° 4.0 - 2° 4.1 - 3° 4.2 and 4° 4.3) or can modify the compatibilty from 3.6 to 4.2 and restart the vms in this only step. Best regards

Adding iscsi issue 4.3
by thilburn＠generalpacific.com 11 Nov '20

11 Nov '20

When connecting an iscsi connection from an array I get the following popup "A database error occurred. Please contact your system administrator." I have checked everything and the only device connected right now is the single host in the datacenter.

Dependencies failure when upgrading from version 4.4.2 to 4.4.3

Single Node HCI upgrade procedure from CentOS7/oVirt 4.3 to CentOS8/oVirt 4.4?
by thomas＠hoberg.net 11 Nov '20

11 Nov '20

I can hear you saying: "You did understand that single node HCI is just a toy, right?" For me the primary use of a single node HCI is adding some disaster resilience in small server edge type scenarios, where a three node HCI provides the fault tolerance: 3+1 with a bit of distance, warm or even cold stand-by, potentially manual switch and reduced workload in case disaster strikes. Of course, another 3nHCI would be better, but who gets that type of budget, right? What I am trying say: If you want oVirt to gain market share, try to give HCI more love. And while you're at it, try to make expanding from 1nHCI to 3nHCI (and higher counts) a standard operational procedure to allow expanding a disaster stand-by into a production setup, while the original 3nHCI is being rebuilt. For me low-budget HCI is where oVirt has its biggest competitive advantage against vSan and Nutanix, so please don't treat the HCI/gluster variant like an unwanted child any more. In the mean-time OVA imports (from 4.3.10 exports) on my 4.4.2 1nHCI fail again, which I'll report separately.

Upgrade Problem oVirt engine 4.4.1.8-1.el8 -> 4.4.3
by Andrei Verovski 11 Nov '20

Hi ! I’m trying to upgrade oVirt engine 4.4.1.8-1.el8 to the latest 4.4.3, running as KVM appliance (not hosted engine). This sequence of commands yum install https://resources.ovirt.org/pub/yum-repo/ovirt-release44.rpm engine-upgrade-check yum update ovirt\*setup\* Results in a long list of dependency errors, short excerpt below. Looks like something (e.g. repo) is missing. How to fix this?

Cluster with Hosted Engine update BIOS Setting Ovirt 4.4.3
by scrik787＠gmail.com 11 Nov '20

I changed the type in the cluster and now my hosted-engine machine won't start!. There are no backups. How can I manually change the parameters of the machine from under the roof so that it starts and I can restore ovirt to work Error in logs: XML error: The device at PCI address 0000:00:02.0 cannot be plugged into the PCI controller with index='0'. It requires a controller that accepts a pcie-root-port VDSM.log https://pastebin.com/vsAKy9rX

Host NonResponsive after migration to oVirt 4.4
by tferic＠swissonline.ch 11 Nov '20

11 Nov '20

Hi I am looking for help after my oVirt upgrade failed. I have upgraded from ovirt 4.3 to 4.4 following the instructions here: https://www.ovirt.org/documentation/upgrade_guide/#Upgrading_from_4-3 <https://www.ovirt.org/documentation/upgrade_guide/#Upgrading_from_4-3> It's a single-host (standalone engine) test environment. I wiped CentOS 7 and reinstalled a fresh CentOS 8. I installed the oVirt 4.4 repo and all the necessary software packets. I used `engine-backup --mode=restore --file=/tmp/ovirt-engine-pre-upgrade.backup --provision-all-databases` from a backup file I created before I started the upgrade. After the restore, I ran `engine-setup`. I did not get any errors during any of these steps on the console. So the upgrade could be considered successful from that perspective. After the upgrade, I login to the ovirt admin portal, and I try to "Activate" my host (was set to "Maintenance" mode before upgrade). The Activation fails with error "NonResponsive" in the GUI. Under the "bell" icon, I find the Event "Host nuc1.feric.ch is non responsive.” In /var/log/ovirt-engine/engine.log, I find the following error: ``` 2020-11-09 23:12:21,080+01 ERROR [org.ovirt.engine.core.vdsbroker.vdsbroker.GetCapabilitiesAsyncVDSCommand] (EE-ManagedScheduledExecutorService-engineScheduledThreadPool-Thread-47) [] Command 'GetCapabilitiesAsyncVDSCommand(HostName = nuc1.feric.ch, VdsIdAndVdsVDSCommandParametersBase:{hostId='d7c30cc0-ac59-4cf3-a1e7-b9fae9db83fb', vds=‘Host[nuc1.feric.h,d7c30cc0-ac59-4cf3-a1e7-b9fae9db83fb]'})' execution failed: java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused ``` `systemctl status ovirt-engine` shows that the engine is running. I am able to reboot the host from the oVirt GUI directly. Does anyone have an idea how to proceed? Many thanks Toni

Clone a VM in the User Portal
by Nicolás 11 Nov '20

11 Nov '20

Hi, We're using oVirt 4.3.8, having an organization that intensively uses the User Portal. After upgrading from 4.2, we've noticed that cloning a VM from within the User Portal is not possible anymore. In our case, this feature was heavily used by hundreds of students deploying their VMs. Is this feature in the roadmap yet? If not, do you consider it useful to open a RFE? Thank you. Regards, Nico

Cannot restore engine from 4.3.9 to 4.4.3

Hi I just tried to restore my engine backup taken from release 4.3.9.4 to a newer oVirt installation release 4.4.3.11. The restore process fails with a FATAL error.

Problem with Cluster-wise BIOS Settings in oVirt 4.4
by Rodrigo G. López 11 Nov '20

11 Nov '20

Hi all, We are running an oVirt 4.4 Hosted Engine as a VM, and after changing the Cluster's BIOS type from Q35 with Legacy BIOS (the default one after installation) to Preexistent, the VM fails with the following error: XML error: The device at PCI address 0000:00:02.0 cannot be plugged into the PCI controller with index='0'. It requires a controller that accepts a pcie-root-port. We need it so that we can run imported VMs from a previous version of oVirt, namely 4.0. Applying the BIOS settings individually works but as an attempt to generalize the settings we decided to apply it to the full cluster. Tell me if you need more data. Cheers, -rodri

Hi, I've cretated a template which has sysprep. Every document about sysprep says use "Attach Floppy" , but we know this function has been disabled/deprecated So, when i use Run One, attach windows cdrom and put in it definitions (domain name, user credentials etc) , nothing happens. I also have correct properties and sysprep files in engine Just windows boot like it is new machine and ask lots of questions for prepare itself. Would someone please explain this? How can i run sysprep correctly?
