ISO and Export domains deprecated
by Colin Coe 07 Apr '20

07 Apr '20

Hi all I'm trying to understand how ISO and Export domains going away is going to affect us. We have four RHV instances: - Prod DC1 (RHV4.1) - Prod DC2 (RHV4.1) - DEV (RHV4.3) - TEST (RHV4.3) Prod DC1, DEV and TEST all share export and ISO domains. Prod DC2 is remote and currently has its own ISO and Export domains. When ISO and Export domains go away, can I still share ISO domains between the RHV instances? Thanks

by Sandro Bonazzola 07 Apr '20

07 Apr '20

oVirt 4.4.0 Beta release refresh is now available for testing The oVirt Project is excited to announce the availability of the beta release of oVirt 4.4.0 refresh for testing, as of April 3rd, 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 Beta release. The oVirt Project makes no guarantees as to its suitability or usefulness. This pre-release must not be used in production. In particular, please note that upgrades from 4.3 and future upgrades from this beta to the final 4.4 release from this version are not supported. Some of the features included in oVirt 4.4.0 Beta 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. Known Issues - ovirt-imageio development is still in progress. In this beta you can’t upload images to data domains using the engine web application. You can still copy iso images into the deprecated ISO domain for installing VMs or upload and download to/from data domains is fully functional via the REST API and SDK. For uploading and downloading via the SDK, please see: - https://github.com/oVirt/ovirt-engine-sdk/blob/master/sdk/examples/upload_d… - https://github.com/oVirt/ovirt-engine-sdk/blob/master/sdk/examples/download… Both scripts are standalone command line tools, try --help for more info. 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 389-ds - 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. What’s new in oVirt 4.4.0 Beta? - Hypervisors based on CentOS Linux 8 (rebuilt from award winning RHEL8), for both oVirt Node and standalone CentOS Linux hosts - Easier network management and configuration flexibility with NetworkManager - VMs based on a more modern Q35 chipset with legacy seabios and UEFI firmware - Support for direct passthrough of local host disks to VMs - Live migration improvements for High Performance guests. - New Windows Guest tools installer based on WiX framework now moved to VirtioWin project - Dropped support for cluster level prior to 4.2 - Dropped SDK3 support - 4K disks support only for file based storage. iSCSI/FC storage do not support 4k disks yet. - Exporting a VM to a data domain - Editing of floating disks - Integrating ansible-runner into engine, which allows a more detailed monitoring of playbooks executed from engine - Adding/reinstalling hosts are now completely based on Ansible - The OpenStack Neutron Agent cannot be configured by oVirt anymore, it should be configured by TripleO instead This release is available now on x86_64 architecture for: * Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.1 * CentOS Linux (or similar) 8.1 This release supports Hypervisor Hosts on x86_64 and ppc64le architectures for: * Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.1 * CentOS Linux (or similar) 8.1 * oVirt Node 4.4 based on CentOS Linux 8.1 (available for x86_64 only) See the release notes [1] for installation instructions and a list of new features and bugs fixed.

Add gluster storage domain incomplete documentation
by Gianluca Cecchi 07 Apr '20

07 Apr '20

Hello, I think both at oVirt and Red Hat official docs the steps regarding adding a new Gluster storage domain on an existing installation is quite confusing and misaligned. Below I explain my reasons for both. In the mean time, suppose I have a single host HCI with self hosted engine (but it could be useful to have hints for multi-hosts too) and the 3 storage domains configured during install (engine and data on a disk and vmstore on another disk). The system initially had 3 disks, the first used for the ovirt-node-ng system, the second for engine and data, the third for vmstore initial gluster storage domains Now I go and add a fourth disk, say 4Tb in size. I would like to create a new Gluster storage domain on it What are the suggested steps? BTW: after booting, the new disk has been automatically included in multipath eui.01000000010000005cd2e4b5e7db4d51 dm-6 NVME,INTEL SSDPEDKX040T7 size=3.6T features='1 queue_if_no_path' hwhandler='0' wp=rw `-+- policy='service-time 0' prio=0 status=active `- 1:0:1:0 nvme1n1 259:1 active undef running Coming back to the docs - oVirt documentation I base my considerations on page https://www.ovirt.org/documentation/admin-guide/chap-Working_with_Gluster_S… 1) the picture in that page is still based on 3.6 GUI, so the initial approach tends to make me feel the page could be not up to date 2) I would put the section "Creating a Storage Volume" before "Attaching a Gluster Storage Volume as a Storage Domain" and not the opposite as it is now 3) In "Creating a Storage Volume" there is the note that " You must create brick directories or mountpoints before you can add them to volumes. " This sentence in my opinion is not so clear (see also details at the end)... what is a user expected to have done on hypervisors? Creation of directories or file systems (and what type: prefered xfs or ext4?). Perhaps an example of commands would be useful. 4) in the workflow of creating volume, item 7: Click the Add Bricks button to select bricks to add to the volume. Bricks must be created externally on the Gluster Storage nodes. I would expect an indication of commands to be run instead... This implies knowledge of Gluster that the GUI functionality is aimed to hide... but so, not completely... I can see in my existing bricks, going to their advanced details: " xfs rw,seclabel,noatime,nodiratime,attr2,inode64,logbsize=128k,sunit=256,swidth=512,noquota " There is also the fstab portion of creating bricks... 5) In the workflow of creating volume, item 9: It is not clear the default "*" value for access if is the recommended one or not. I presume not - RHV documentation https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_virtualization/4.3/ht… 4.3 Administrator Guide downloaded today Chapter 8, section 8.6 PREPARING AND ADDING RED HAT GLUSTER STORAGE There is reference to Red Hat Gluster Storage, version 3.4. I think it should be 3.5 instead? Because at the same time in 3.4 there is reference to RHV 4.1, not 4.3. While in "Configuring Red Hat Virtualization with Red Hat Gluster Storage" version 3.5 there is correct reference to RHV 4.3 Anyway this mix of product documentation is not optimal in my opinion. I would directly include inside RHV docs the Gluster part related to it, without jumping between the two comlete, with the risk of misalignment in time. Also, in Gluster Storage guide referred, there is the part related to volumes but not to bricks.... Possibly the correct reference for the brick part, that is the one missing in webadmin GUI, could be this: https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_gluster_storage/3.5/h… and/or this https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_gluster_storage/3.5/h… ? Thanks for reading and hoping to get commands' workflow to configure this new disk for a new gluster storage domain. It seems inside the guides is oversimplified the process of creating bricks, that in the documentation seem actually to be xfs filesystems mounted over thin pool based logical volumes residing on top of volume groups with particular alignment settings specified during their creation....

Engine/host communication maybe broken
by Sven Achtelik 06 Apr '20

06 Apr '20

Hi All, I'm currently facing a situation which I don't know how to resolve and I don't know how that happened. The hosted engine HA part is working fine and the vm starts. It's accessible via the gui and that's it. It's showing some hosts online and some offline. It looks like it's not communication with the nodes anymore to get the latest status or to start task. Is there a cache or something that can be cleared on the engine vm to force a connection the the nodes ? Or is there a way to analyze if communication is really broken ? Any ideas how to start from here ? Thank you, Sven

"Actual timezone differs [...]" after using the new virtio-win guest tools
by Tobias Scheinert 06 Apr '20

06 Apr '20

Hi, we are currently preparing our Windows software packages for update oVirt from version 4.3 to version 4.4. One of the novelties[1] of version 4.4 is the change from the ovirt-guest-tools to the virtio-win guest tools. We are currently running version 4.3.9.4-1.el7 in our oVirt cluster. When we are installing the new virtio-win guest tools we get the tooltip message: "Actual timezone in the guest differs from the configuration". The guest agents of the two guest tools are completely different, the ovirt-guest-agent is written in Python, the qemu-guest-agent is written in C. So my guess was, that there would different result send to the ovirt-engine. As I looked into the sources of ovirt-engine, especially into the timezone Java stuff, I did not found any changes in the last few months. So is this bug fixed, with the new ovirt version 4.4, or is this aspect new? P.S. The os in the vm was Windows 10 version 1909 [1] <https://ovirt.org/release/4.4.0/> Best Regards Tobias Scheinert

Windows Guest Agent Issues Since 4.3
by Alex McWhirter 06 Apr '20

06 Apr '20

Upgraded a installation to 4.3, and update the guest agent on all VM's, now all of my Windows VM's have a exclamation point telling me to install the latest guest agent. Some parts of the guest agent still seem to work, the IP addresses are still showing in the portal, but not FQDN and for some machine the shutdown button no longer functions correctly. I also tried to a fresh 4.3 install on a test cluster, and at first it worked great. But after a few days all of the windows vm's on that setup are showing the same behavior. Linux guests are fine on both systems. Not really sure where to start looking.

Re: Multiple NICs on hosted engine, oVirt 4.3
by Jiří Sléžka 06 Apr '20

06 Apr '20

Hello Paul, thanks for reply and for pointing me to RHV documentation. Shame on me, I forogot it exists and is well maintained and super relevant for oVirt. But in this case I am a bit lost. I can't find something relevant to my effort to modify HE vm's config to add the second NIC to it. Or do you mean I should change the location of vm.conf from /var/run location to something persistent and then modify this vm.conf as mentioned in that old post? For example, now I got this output for conf key [root@ovirt-hci01 ~]# hosted-engine --get-shared-config conf --type=he_shared conf : /var/run/ovirt-hosted-engine-ha/vm.conf, type : he_shared [root@ovirt-hci01 ~]# hosted-engine --get-shared-config conf --type=he_local conf : /var/run/ovirt-hosted-engine-ha/vm.conf, type : he_local Is it valid to change it to (for example) /etc/ovirt-hosted-engine/vm.conf and modify that file there? Is it safe for further updates, maintenance, etc.? Maybe the second question - which process creates vm.conf in /var/run path?

Dear oVirt, Is there anyone willing and able to assist me in troubleshooting what seems to be multiple issues regarding quotas: 1. UI Exception each time I add Consumer to Quota. 2. User getting warning of not being authorized to ‘ConsumeQuota’ in order to AddVM or AddVMFromTemplate, even though User is in Consumers list. 3. Fishy quota usage percentage. I see this strange behavior on all my platforms, so it’s starting to look as a bug to me. Happy to provide any relevant logs or do tests needed.

Updated quota from Default to qstorage for Templates and related images e. Updated quota from Default to qstorage from all existing VMs and the related Disks Problem: * the percentage of the Storage Consumption is jumping up and down, between 3% and 97%, and at certain point goes back to Unlimited * when checking under Storage tab inside quota name, the value “Used MB out of Total MB” is correct, however, when attempting to exceed the threshold, I am not getting a warning, even though I am consumer of a quota Second issue: User is added to qstorage quota as consumer. Still, when he tries to launch the VMs, Waring is displayed: Cannot add VM. The user is not a consumer of the Quota assigned to the resource. Have I missed something – could it be a permission issue, not a consumer issue. All my users are utilizing Administration Portal with limited set of permissions. They all have same Role assigned, but only few of them are having the problem I described as Second problem.

power_saving schedule not powering off hosts
by Maton, Brett 05 Apr '20

05 Apr '20

I've got a cluster made up of five physical hosts, (Dells with idrac 7 management) Power management / fencing enabled on all hosts. I've enabled the power_saving scheduling policy on my cluster, it's migrated all the VM's to a couple of physical hosts so three are sitting idle with no VM's. Shouldn't the power_saving policy shut down the idle hosts?

Problem with connecting the Storage Domain (Host host2 cannot access the Storage Domain(s) <UNKNOWN>)
by Patrick Lomakin 05 Apr '20

05 Apr '20

Hello, everyone! I need specialist help, because I'm already desperate. My company has four hosts that are connected to the vault. Each host has its own IP to access the storage, which means host 1 has an ip 10.42.0.10 and 10.42.1.10 -> host 2 has an ip 10.42.0.20 and 10.42.0.20 respectively. Host 1 cannot ping the address 10.42.0.20. Hardware I tried to explain in more detail. Host 1 has ovirt node 4.3.9 installed and hosted-engine deployed. When trying to add host 2 to a cluster it is installed, but not activated. There is an error in ovirt manager - "Host host2 cannot access the Storage Domain(s) <UNKNOWN>" and host 2 goes to "Not operational" status. On host 2, it writes "connect to 10.42.1.10:3260 failed (No route to host)" in the logs and repeats indefinitely. I manually connected host 2 to the storage using iscsiadm to ip 10.42.0.20. But the error is not missing(. At the same time, when the host tries to activate it, I can run virtual machines on it until the host shows an error message. VMs that have been run on host 2 continue to run even when the host has "Not operational" status. I assume that when adding host 2 to a cluster, ovirt tries to connect it to the same repository host 1 is connected to from ip 10.42.1.10.

Multiple NICs on hosted engine, oVirt 4.3
by Jiří Sléžka 05 Apr '20

05 Apr '20

Hello, I would like to add second NIC to hosted engine vm (I need access to isolated network with host's power management). I found this solution... https://lists.ovirt.org/pipermail/users/2014-November/062610.html ...which seems to work in oVirt 3.5 but in oVirt 4.3 there is no file like /etc/ovirt-hosted-engine/vm.conf anymore. In the file /etc/ovirt-hosted-engine/hosted-engine.conf is a line ... conf=/var/run/ovirt-hosted-engine-ha/vm.conf ... which points to this config but this is a running config... Is there a way to add a second NIC to hosted engin vm? Cheers, Jiri

VM and cgroup

Hello, I'm wondering why the cgroup for the VM is generated, because I thought VM and cgroup are not related. does qemu/KVM use (memory) cgroup to handle memory resources or something else?

manual migration
by eevans＠digitaldatatechs.com 04 Apr '20

04 Apr '20

FYI: My issue with the inability to migrate is solved. The issue was the ovirt-engine-ui-extensions-1.0.10-1.el7.noarch updated to 1.0.13 and it killed the ability to migrate. In order to downgrade I had to download the rpm, ovirt-engine-ui-extensions-1.0.10-1.el7.noarch.rpm and run a yum downgrade command “yum downgrade ovirt-engine-ui-extensions-1.0.10-1.el7.noarch.rpm”. It would not downgrade any other way. Once it downgraded, migration ability was back. Thanks all for the help and support.

Martin Necas reached out to me and we collaborated on some great improvements.

NFS permissions error on ISODomain file with correct permissions
by Shareef Jalloq 03 Apr '20

Hi, I asked this question in another thread but it seems to have been lost in the noise so I'm reposting with a more descriptive subject. I'm trying to start a Windows VM and use the virtio-win VFD floppy to get the drivers but the VM startup fails due to a permissions issue detailed below. The permissions look fine to me so why can't the VFD be read? Shareef.

New Issue - Ovirt Status shows '?' or Down for all elements

03 Apr '20

Yesterday we had a storage crash that caused our hosted engine to stop and not auto-restart. We manually restarted it and this morning, all elements are showing a status of either question mark '?' or a red down chevron. We are running version oVirt Engine Version: 3.5.0.1-1.el6. We are chasing it down and see this in the log: 2020-04-01 10:15:53,060 WARN [org.ovirt.engine.core.vdsbroker.VdsManager] (DefaultQuartzScheduler_Worker-23) Failed to refresh VDS , vds = e98f8f1d-dd1d-47c4-b039-d6eaaf578317 : hv-06, VDS Network Error, continuing Any insight into what might be causing this or the fix would be appreciated. *** *Mark Steele*

Hosted Engine stalled and unable to restart
by Mark Steele 02 Apr '20

02 Apr '20

Hello, We are on an older version (3.x - cannot be specific as I cannot get my ovirt hosted engine up). We experienced a storage failure earlier this evening - the hosted engine was originally installed with this storage domain although we have moved all VM's and disks off of it. The storage was restored and all the VM's are now running, but the ovirt engine is not pinging and is unreachable. I have attempted to locate it on my HV's using 'virsh list --all' but only one of those is taking my credentials - all the others fail to authenticate. Is there a way to locate what the credentials are on each HV since the default is not working? Additionally, is there any other way to locate the hosted engine and restart it directly from a HV? Thank you for your time and consideration. *** *Mark Steele*
