Upgrade scenario to 4.4 for HCI Gluster
by Gianluca Cecchi 11 May '20

11 May '20

Hello, I saw from some mails in the list that the approach for upgrading from 4.3 to 4.4 will be similar to the 3.6 => 4.0 one. Reading the RHV 4.0 Self Hosted Engine Guide it seems it was necessary to have a second host, going through this: 5.4. Upgrading a RHEV-H-Based Self-Hosted Engine Environment https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_virtualization/4.0/ht… and also https://www.ovirt.org/develop/release-management/features/sla/hosted-engine… upgrade process involved: - set global ha maintenance - install a new host (and set it as on hosted engine one) - migrate engine VM to this host and set the host as the SPM - create a backup with engine-backup, verify its contents and copy to the host in some directory - run the upgrade utility on the host to update the engine VM hosted-engine --upgrade-appliance this will create a backup floating disk of the engine vm disk for rollback purposes and override the existing engine disk with a new one where to deploy the new engine version applying also the restore from the engine-backup --> what are requirements for 4.4 engine VM and so free storage to have on engine storage domain? The engine-setup will be automatically executed on the new version engine VM - exit from global maintenance - update remaining hosts Is the above procedure the correct one that I can test on a 4.3.9 lab? The 3.6 -> 4.0 flow implied that a 4.0 host could run a 3.6 engine VM Because the backup disk operation is done by the current running engine itself. So it should be true also for 4.3 -> 4.4 and a 4.4. host should be able to run a 4.3 engine, correct? In case of single 4.3.9 ovirt-node-ng host HCI with Gluster, can I apply the upgrade in a similar way? Something like: - create engine-backup and copy over to the host - put host into global maintenace - shutdown all VMS, engine included - enable 4.4. repo - install new image-base 4.4 is this correct and I can use 4.3 and 4.4 image base versions or do I have to sort-of-scratch necessarily? because 4.3 host is based on el7 while 4.4 on el8... but perhaps on mage based system I have flexibility..? what version of gluster will it be applied? Incompatibilities with the current 4.3.9 one (version 6.8-1.el7) - reboot host - exit global maintenance and wait for engine vm to come up correctly - enter global maintenance again - run the upgrade utility on the host Or do I need at least temporarily a new server to use as the 4.4. host, or what will be the expected path? Thanks, Gianluca

Hello everyone new test of 4.4 on Fedora 30: Prepare Vm fails with {"attempts": 10, "changed": false, "cmd": "dnf install -y python2-dnf", "msg": "Could not import the dnf python module using /usr/bin/python (2.7.18 (default, Apr 21 2020, 18:49:31) [GCC 9.3.1 20200408 (Red Hat 9.3.1-2)]).

Creating an Isolated/External Network
by dsullivan56＠fordham.edu 08 May '20

08 May '20

Hi all, Obligatory I'm not sure if this is the right place to post and obligatory I am very new here. I could really use some help. I'd like to build an isolated/external network so that I can build two VMs that need to interact with each other and each other alone while they are being built. I'd like to protect them from interacting with other VMs I have and I'd like to protect my other VMs from interacting with them. I attempt to create this network by going to Network > Networks > New, and I make sure to click the "create on external provider" checkbox and select "Disabled" under the "Network Port Security" drop-down menu. When I click "ok" I get the error message: "Error while executing this action: User is not authorized to perform this action". This isn't an issue, I just went to the super user and had him try the same thing, and he gets this error message: "Error while executing action AddNetworkOnProvider: Failed to communicate with the external provider, see logs for additional details". The oVirt log wasn't that helpful, as it just told me the time oVirt failed to create the network. Neither my super user nor I can figure out why this is happening. Would greatly appreciate any advice you can give me. Thanks!

oVirt 4.4.0 First Release Candidate is now available for testing!
by Sandro Bonazzola 07 May '20

07 May '20

The oVirt Project is excited to announce the availability of the first Release Candidate of oVirt 4.4.0 for testing, as of May 6th, 2020 This release unleashes an altogether more powerful and flexible open source virtualization solution that encompasses hundreds of individual changes and a wide range of enhancements across the engine, storage, network, user interface, and analytics on top of oVirt 4.3. 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 to be used in production. Some of the features included in oVirt 4.4.0 Release Candidate require content that will be available in CentOS Linux 8.2 but can’t be tested on RHEL 8.2 beta yet due to some incompatibility in openvswitch package shipped in CentOS Virt SIG which requires to rebuild openvswitch on top of CentOS 8.2. Installation instructions For the engine: either use appliance or: - Install CentOS Linux 8 minimal from http://centos.mirror.garr.it/centos/8.1.1911/isos/x86_64/CentOS-8.1.1911-x8… - dnf install https://resources.ovirt.org/pub/yum-repo/ovirt-release44-pre.rpm - dnf update (reboot if needed) - dnf module enable -y javapackages-tools pki-deps postgresql:12 - dnf install ovirt-engine - engine-setup For the nodes: Either use oVirt Node ISO or: - Install CentOS Linux 8 from http://centos.mirror.garr.it/centos/8.1.1911/isos/x86_64/CentOS-8.1.1911-x8… ; select minimal installation - dnf install https://resources.ovirt.org/pub/yum-repo/ovirt-release44-pre.rpm - dnf update (reboot if needed) - Attach the host to engine and let it be deployed.

Fwd: Ovirt host GetGlusterVolumeHealInfoVDS failed events
by Anton Marchukov 07 May '20

07 May '20

Forwarding to oVirt users list. ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: <srivathsa.puliyala(a)dunami.com> Date: Wed, May 6, 2020 at 12:01 PM Subject: Ovirt host GetGlusterVolumeHealInfoVDS failed events To: <infra(a)ovirt.org> Hi, We have a oVirt cluster with 4 hosts and hosted engine running on one of them (all the nodes provide the storage with GlusterFS) Currently there are 53 VMs running. The version of the oVirt-Engine is 4.2.8.2-1.el7 and GlusterFS is 3.12.15. From past 1 week, we seem to have multiple events popping up on Ovirt-UI about the GetGlusterVolumeHealInfoVDS from all the nodes randomly like one ERROR event for every ~13minutes. Sample Event dashboard example: May 4, 2020, 2:32:14 PM - Status of host <host-1> was set to Up. May 4, 2020, 2:32:11 PM - Manually synced the storage devices from host <host-1> May 4, 2020, 2:31:55 PM - Host <host-1> is not responding. Host cannot be fenced automatically because power management for the host is disabled. May 4, 2020, 2:31:55 PM - VDSM <host-1> command GetGlusterVolumeHealInfoVDS failed: Message timeout which can be caused by communication issues May 4, 2020, 2:19:14 PM - Status of host <host-2> was set to Up. May 4, 2020, 2:19:12 PM - Manually synced the storage devices from host <host-2> May 4, 2020, 2:18:49 PM - Host <host-2> is not responding. Host cannot be fenced automatically because power management for the host is disabled. May 4, 2020, 2:18:49 PM - VDSM <host-2> command GetGlusterVolumeHealInfoVDS failed: Message timeout which can be caused by communication issues May 4, 2020, 2:05:55 PM - Status of host <host-2> was set to Up. May 4, 2020, 2:05:54 PM - Manually synced the storage devices from host <host-2> May 4, 2020, 2:05:35 PM - Host <host-2> is not responding.

May 4, 2020, 2:05:35 PM - VDSM <host-2> command GetGlusterVolumeHealInfoVDS failed: Message timeout which can be caused by communication issues May 4, 2020, 1:52:45 PM - Status of host <host-3> was set to Up. May 4, 2020, 1:52:44 PM - Manually synced the storage devices from host <host-3> May 4, 2020, 1:52:22 PM - Host <host-3> is not responding. Host cannot be fenced automatically because power management for the host is disabled. May 4, 2020, 1:52:22 PM - VDSM <host-3> command GetGlusterVolumeHealInfoVDS failed: Message timeout which can be caused by communication issues May 4, 2020, 1:39:11 PM - Status of host <host-4> was set to Up. May 4, 2020, 1:39:11 PM - Manually synced the storage devices from host <host-4> May 4, 2020, 1:39:11 PM - Host <host-4> is not responding. Host cannot be fenced automatically because power management for the host is disabled.

May 4, 2020, 1:26:28 PM - Manually synced the storage devices from host <host-3> May 4, 2020, 1:26:11 PM - Host <host-3> is not responding. Host cannot be fenced automatically because power management for the host is disabled. May 4, 2020, 1:26:11 PM - VDSM <host-3> command GetGlusterVolumeHealInfoVDS failed: Message timeout which can be caused by communication issues May 4, 2020, 1:13:10 PM - Status of host <host-1> was set to Up. May 4, 2020, 1:13:08 PM - Manually synced the storage devices from host <host-1> May 4, 2020, 1:12:51 PM - Host <host-1> is not responding. Host cannot be fenced automatically because power management for the host is disabled. May 4, 2020, 1:12:51 PM - VDSM <host-1> command GetGlusterVolumeHealInfoVDS failed: Message timeout which can be caused by communication issues and so on..... When I look at the Compute > Hosts dashboard, I see the host status to be DOWN when VDSM event (GetGlusterVolumeHealInfoVDS failed) is popped and automatically the host status is set to UP within no time. FYI: when host status is DOWN, the VM's running on that host are not migrating and everything is running perfectly fine. This is happening all day. Is there something I can troubleshoot?

Hi, oVirt website accumulated a good amount of broken links over the years. You can see them listed in this etherpad: https://review.rdoproject.org/etherpad/p/SLEq1-6FwW9aw7344eRr You can help fixing the links by edit text files written in markdown language, it's pretty easy to understand and can be done even by somebody without any development skill. This is a good chance to contribute back to oVirt project, looking forward to review your patches at https://github.com/oVirt/ovirt-site !

Hello, supposing to be already at 4.3.9 level and to have CentOS 7.7 based hosts, are there any blocking factors to update them to 7.8, just released some days ago? Thanks, Gianluca

NFS storage domain forced to use /exports/data ?
by kelley bryan 06 May '20

06 May '20

Hello Should the documentation point out that the /exports/data mount point is hard coded in ovirt-hosted-engine-setup-ansible-create_storage_domain.yaml. I think some Data Centers will want to use a different mount path or Did I miss a prompt or entry in the Deployment screen for Hosted-engine-deployment? Bryan

Unable to import CA certificate list
by Sakari Poussa 06 May '20

06 May '20

Hi, I am using 4.4 beta4 and not able to add new hosts to the datacenter. Also "Enroll Certificate" fails. On nodes, I get the following error message: libvirtd[20399]: Unable to import CA certificate list /etc/pki/vdsm/certs/cacert.pem The root cause is the malformed cert: $ cat /etc/pki/vdsm/certs/cacert.pem -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----\nMIID XXX That, is the .pem file is just one long line with \n characters instead of real newlines. If I convert the \n to real newlines libvirtd starts but that is not the end solution since other issues surfaces. The malforming happens when the engine copies (via ansible) the CA cert to the node(s). Any ideas what is going on? Thanks, Sakari

Backup software recommendations
by Colin Coe 06 May '20

06 May '20

Hi all I'm looking for recommendations for backup software. It needs to handle physical and virtual Linux and Windows, RHV and Hyper-V. It doesn't have to be open source and it doesn't have to be free. The main features we need are: - disk to disk backups - inter-site replication with rate limiting - be able to handle Linux thin volumes (think RHGS) - support BMR ans granular file / directory restore - correctly handle Windows VSS - support RHEL point releases as soon as they are released I'm as much after "stay away from" as recommendations. We currently use Arcserve UDP and it is ... well ... sub optimal Thanks in advance CC
