What is the impact of doubling default NumOfPciExpressPorts value?
by ivan.lezhnjov.iv＠gmail.com 09 Nov '23

09 Nov '23

Hi! We've been trying to understand what the effect of increasing NumOfPciExpressPorts might be in terms of system resources consumption and overall system performance of the oVirt Hosts. In this specific scenario, we're running an oVirt deployment with about 100 hosts and thousands of VMs. oVirt allocates 16 PCIe ports by default (or is it QEMU defaults?) and we would like to increase that number to about 30. However, only very few VMs are actually gonna use those extra PCIe ports in terms of having additional devices (like NICs). So, basically, there will be a lot of VMs that have about twice as many PCIe ports available to them than now but not really using them (as in having actual additional devices created and associated with the VMs). How is that going to impact physical servers that are running the VMs? Any potential problems for the VMs themselves? Ivan

Hosted-engine restore failing when migrating to new storage domain
by Devin A. Bougie 08 Nov '23

08 Nov '23

Hello, We have a functioning oVirt 4.5.4 cluster running on fully-updated EL9.2 hosts. We are trying to migrate the self-hosted engine to a new iSCSI storage domain using the existing hosts, following the documented procedure: - set the cluster into global maintenance mode - backup the engine using "engine-backup --scope=all --mode=backup --file=backup.bck --log=backuplog.log" - shutdown the engine - restore the engine using "hosted-engine --deploy --4 --restore-from-file=backup.bck" This almost works, but fails with the attached log file. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated, including alternate procedures for migrating a self-hosted engine from one domain to another. Many thanks, Devin

We are excited to announce that the call for proposals is now open for the Virtualization and Cloud infrastructure devroom at the upcoming FOSDEM 2024, to be hosted on February 3rd 2024. This devroom is a collaborative effort, and is organized by dedicated folks from projects such as OpenStack, Xen Project, KubeVirt, QEMU, KVM, and Foreman. We would like to invite all those who are involved in these fields to submit your proposals by December 8th, 2023. About the Devroom The Virtualization & IaaS devroom will feature session topics such as open source hypervisors or virtual machine managers such as Xen Project, KVM, bhyve and VirtualBox as well as Infrastructure-as-a-Service projects such as KubeVirt, Apache CloudStack, OpenStack, QEMU and OpenNebula. This devroom will host presentations that focus on topics of shared interest, such as KVM; libvirt; shared storage; virtualized networking; cloud security; clustering and high availability; interfacing with multiple hypervisors; hyperconverged deployments; and scaling across hundreds or thousands of servers. Presentations in this devroom will be aimed at developers working on these platforms who are looking to collaborate and improve shared infrastructure or solve common problems. We seek topics that encourage dialog between projects and continued work post-FOSDEM. Important Dates Submission deadline: 8th December 2023 Acceptance notifications: 10th December 2023 Final schedule announcement: 15th December 2023 Devroom: 3rd February 2024 Submit Your Proposal All submissions must be made via the Pretalx event planning site[1]. It is a new submission system so you will need to create an account. If you submitted proposals for FOSDEM in previous years, you won’t be able to use your existing account. During submission please make sure to select Virtualization and Cloud infrastructure from the Track list. Please fill out all the required fields, and provide a meaningful abstract and description of your proposed session. Submission Guidelines We expect more proposals than we can possibly accept, so it is vitally important that you submit your proposal on or before the deadline. Late submissions are unlikely to be considered. All presentation slots are 30 minutes, with 20 minutes planned for presentations, and 10 minutes for Q&A. All presentations will be recorded and made available under Creative Commons licenses. In the Submission notes field, please indicate that you agree that your presentation will be licensed under the CC-By-SA-4.0 or CC-By-4.0 license and that you agree to have your presentation recorded.

Moving hosted-engine to a new cluster
by Ling Ho 08 Nov '23

08 Nov '23

Hello, I set up some new hypervisors recently, created a new cluster using the newer CPU, and migrated all my VMs by changing the cluster and restarting them. Now I have the hosted engine left running in my old cluster. I could not find any recent documentation or discussion on the net. What's the proper way to migrate the hosted engine? I am on oVirt 4.5.4. Thanks, ... ling

Cannot "Change CD" from VM portal with standard user
by Gianluca Amato 07 Nov '23

07 Nov '23

Hello, I am trying to attach a CD to a virtual machine from the VM Portal as a standard user. When I click on the box for choosing the ISO image, I only get "[Empty]". However, when I access the VM portal as an admin, I correctly see the list of ISO images. I suspect it is a problem of permission: I have assigned to the unprivileged user the UserRole permission both for the VM and the ISO disk images. Am I doing something wrong ? Do I need to assign different roles ? Thanks, --gianluca

Missing OVF_STORE disks. Impact and how to recover them?
by ivan.lezhnjov.iv＠gmail.com 06 Nov '23

06 Nov '23

Hi! We have a Local Storage SD (Storage Domain) that is missing both OVF_STORE disks. Clearly this SD is strictly speaking broken but the oVirt Host where this SD is configured and VMs that run on that Host seem to be doing fine. No major problems except for the fact that oVirt Events logs are filled with "VDSM command SetVolumeDescriptionVDS failed: Image path does not exist or cannot be accessed/created" error (and a couple others associated with this one) that is generated every 1 hour. Is this SD in a critical state? Are we risking losing data or anything like that? What is the impact of deleting OVF_STORE disks from an SD? And most importantly is there a way to recover/recreate these OVF_STORE disks?

Multiple hosts stuck in Connecting state waiting for storage pool to go up.

On all Running vdsm-client Host getConnectedStoragePools also returns an empty list represented by [] on all hosts (but interestingly there is one that showed Storage Pool UUID and yet it was still stuck in Connecting state). This particular host (ABC010-176-XYZ) is connected to 3 CEPH iSCSI Storage Domains and lsblk shows 3 block devices with matching UUIDs in their device components. So, the storage seems to be connected but the Storage Pool is not? How is that even possible? Now, what's even more weird is that we tried rebooting the host (via Administrator Portal) and it didn't help. We even tried removing and re-adding the host in Administrator Portal but to no avail. Additionally, the host refused to go into Maintenance mode so we had to enforce it by manually updating Engine DB. We also tried reinstalling the host via Administrator Portal and ran into another weird problem, which I'm not sure if it's a related one or a problem that deserves a dedicated discussion thread but, basically, the underlying Ansible playbook exited with the following error message: "stdout" : "fatal: [10.10.10.176]: UNREACHABLE! => {\"changed\": false, \"msg\": \"Data could not be sent to remote host \\\"10.10.10.176\\\". Make sure this host can be reached over ssh: \", \"unreachable\": true}", Counterintuitively, just before running Reinstall via Administrator Portal we had been able to reboot the same host (which as you know oVirt does via Ansible as well). So, no changes on the host in between just different Ansible playbooks. To confirm that we actually had access to the host over ssh we successfully ran ssh -p $PORT root(a)10.10.10.176 -i /etc/pki/ovirt-engine/keys/engine_id_rsa and it worked. That made us scratch our heads for a while but what seems to had fixed Ansible's ssh access problems was manual full stop of all VDSM-related systemd services on the host. It was just a wild guess but as soon as we stopped all VDSM services Ansible stopped complaining about not being able to reach the target host and successfully did its job. I'm sure you'd like to see more logs but I'm not certain what exactly is relevant. There are a ton of logs as this deployment is comprised of nearly 80 hosts. So, I guess it's best if you just request to see specific logs, messages or configuration details and I'll cherry-pick what's relevant. We don't really understand what's going on and would appreciate any help. We tried just about anything we could think of to resolve this issue and are running out of ideas what to do next. If you have any questions just ask and I'll do my best to answer them.

Is this still an active mailing list?
by vince seavello 06 Nov '23

06 Nov '23

I am attempting to install oVirt Node 4.5.4. I could use a little help with a few setup issues. I'm wondering if this mailing list is still active. I ask because there are several links on the ovirt.org site that are not functional. If this list is still active, I'll give some of the specifics of my system and the issues I'm running into.

Direct LUN I/O errors with SCSI Pass-through enabled
by mgs＠ordix.de 03 Nov '23

03 Nov '23

Hi, in our environment (Version 4.4.10.7) we use fibre channel LUNs, which we attach directly to the VMs (as Direct LUN) with VirtIO-SCSI and SCSI pass-through enabled. The virtual machines run an application that requires 4096 as physical_block_size and 512 as logical_block_size. For this reason, we had to enable SCSI pass-through. Only with SCSI pass-through the correct physical_block_size is passed through to the VM. Now we have the following problem on just about every VM: Error messages of the following form occur in the VMs (in /var/log/messages): kernel: blk_update_request: I/O error, dev sdd, sector 352194592 op 0x1:(WRITE) flags 0xc800 phys_seg 16 prio class 0 This error message coincides with a crash of the application. The error message seems to belong to SCSI. We are currently trying to find an alternative to SCSI pass-through. We want to use VirtIO and somehow pass the physical_block_size. Since the XML files of the VMs are transient, we cannot make any changes there. Does anyone have an idea what the error could be or how to pass the correct physical_block_size? Could VDSM hooks help with this? Thank you and regards Miguel

Affinity Labels in 4.4
by Alan G 02 Nov '23

02 Nov '23

Can anyone explain how affinity labels work in 4.4? I created a label containing a host and a VM. I had assumed that would require the VM to run on that host, but the VM continues to run on any host in the cluster. I then checked the 4.4 documentation and it says that I need the filters module section of scheduling policy to contain Label, but there's doesn't appear to be a filter called Label. Am I missing something?

Migrated VM has snapshots with same id

31 Oct '23

Hi community, We've encountered problem with virtual machines migrated from RHV(4.4.9.5-0.1.el8ev) to oVirt (4.5.4-1.el8) using data domain. When we create snapshot on migrated VM (in oVirt), we see that snapshot has same id as "Active VM" snapshot and disk in illegal status. (we see that in web ui). Meanwhile in database "engine" id's are different. And vdsm-tool shows that there's only one snapshot in status "LEGAL". engine=# select image_guid,parentid,imagestatus,vm_snapshot_id,volume_type,volume_format,active from images where image_group_id='12a8999f-3f6e-4377-8378-40370aa68d3f'; image_guid | parentid | imagestatus | vm_snapshot_id | volume_type | volume_format | active --------------------------------------+--------------------------------------+-------------+--------------------------------------+-------------+---------------+-------- 5cf5a41d-7236-4c41-ae9c-7c6359210db6 | 6d9cc470-d66f-4e68-a0aa-6e8985f392b0 | 1 | 88d91f15-26ad-48c1-91ec-422c1c04e79b | 2 | 4 | t 6d9cc470-d66f-4e68-a0aa-6e8985f392b0 | 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000 | 4 | a47261da-4ebb-42e3-a74a-0882f8e27c73 | 2 | 4 | f (2 rows) vdsm-tool dump-volume-chains 5e88e116-fb90-41ce-b9c3-01ccb9302b16 | grep 12a8999f-3f6e-4377-8378-40370aa68d3f -A 10 image: 12a8999f-3f6e-4377-8378-40370aa68d3f - 6d9cc470-d66f-4e68-a0aa-6e8985f392b0 status: OK, voltype: LEAF, format: COW, legality: LEGAL, type: SPARSE, capacity: 214748364800, truesize: 121198608384 We know how to fix this using database commands.

Unable to enable HPET component of an specific VM in oVirt 4.7
by ricardoot＠gmail.com 24 Oct '23

24 Oct '23

Hello community members, I'm currently using oVirt 4.7 as my virtualization environment, and I'm facing an issue with enabling the HPET (High Precision Event Timer) component in the XML configuration file of virtual machine (VM). Upon inspecting the XML file, I noticed that the `<timer name='hpet' present='no'/>` line is missing, indicating that the HPET component is disabled. Here are the steps I have taken so far: 1. I verified that the VM's XML configuration file does not include the `<timer name='hpet' present='yes'/>` line. 2. While the VM was powered on, I used the following command to edit the XML configuration file: ``` virsh edit VM_NAME ``` I added the `<timer name='hpet' present='yes'/>` line to the XML file. However, the changes did not persist after restarting the VM. To provide additional information, on the host where oVirt is running, the available clock sources can be viewed by executing the following command: ``` cat /sys/devices/system/clocksource/clocksource0/available_clocksource ``` The output shows the available clock sources, such as `tsc`, `hpet`, and `acpi_pm`. To resolve the authentication issue with the `virsh` command, I created a user with appropriate privileges using the following command: ``` sudo saslpasswd2 -a libvirt USERNAME ``` After creating the user, I was able to authenticate successfully with the `virsh` command using the newly created credentials. However, I'm unable to find an option to add the HPET parameter in the web console of oVirt. It seems that the option to configure HPET is not available in the web console. Has anyone else encountered a similar issue in oVirt 4.7? Could you please provide guidance or suggest a solution to enable the HPET component in the XML configuration file of a powered-off VM in oVirt 4.7? Any insights, experiences, or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for your assistance! Best regards,

Hello, I have been used to OLV/RHEV product about 3 years I often visit our community to get the error solution as well now I would try to use ovirt and develop to improve some function.. I'm using test environment using compiled oVirt 4.5 package. but I havent yet set up build develpment environment 1. Can you share and advise your ovirt development environment experience? 2. ovirt has some project, and how merge it to compile one source? 3. Is there a process for sharing what features you want to fix before making improvements? Can I just do PR? 4. your tips.. how to debug, ..etc

fencing state/sequence diagrams
by Renaud 23 Oct '23

Hello everyone, After a network outage, we experienced a situation of chaotic connectivity between the oVirt manager (located on a VM outside the cluster) and the hypervisors themselves. During the incident, while only the connectivity between the manager and the hypervisors was difficult, during the recovery we had fencing of several of our hypervisors. I'm looking for a diagram or text that describes all the rules for triggering fencing. Specifically, I have questions about the following (just in case): * Does the manager play an active role in the decision to fence a hypervisor? Regards, Renaud

HE deploy fails at "Initialize lockspace volume" step
by Giuliano David 23 Oct '23

Hi everyone. I need help understanding a failure deploying the hosted engine on a fresh-installed oVirt 4.5.4 el8 node. After the setup via official ISO, I login via ssh in the node and I issue the command: # hosted-engine --deploy --4 --ansible-extra-vars=he_offline_deployment=true -- Note -- The extra ansible variable is the only way I found to inhibit the deployed hosted engine downloading last OS updates that will break Python compatibility between the ansible playbook in the node deploying and the ansible host in the engine deployed. Without that extra variable the deployment fails with fancy reasons. -- End note -- The deployment goes, until i specify an iSCSI target and a (free) LUN. The playbook adds the storage domain, creates the HE disk and transfert the HE vm to the domain. Then an error occurs: [ INFO ] TASK [ovirt.ovirt.hosted_engine_setup : Initialize lockspace volume] [ INFO ] TASK [ovirt.ovirt.hosted_engine_setup : Workaround for ovirt-ha-broker start failures] [ INFO ] changed: [localhost] [ INFO ] TASK [ovirt.ovirt.hosted_engine_setup : Initialize lockspace volume] [ ERROR ] fatal: [localhost]: FAILED! => {"attempts": 5, "changed": true, "cmd": ["hosted-engine", "--reinitialize-lockspace", "--force"], "delta": "0:00:00.170053", "end": "2023-10-20 11:21:18.111299", "msg": "non-zero return code", "rc": 1, "start": "2023-10-20 11:21:17.941246", "stderr": "Traceback (most recent call last):\n File \"/usr/lib64/python3.6/runpy.py\", line 193, in _run_module_as_main\n \"__main__\", mod_spec)\n File \"/usr/lib64/python3.6/runpy.py\", line 85, in _run_code\n exec(code, run_globals)\n File \"/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/ovirt_hosted_engine_setup/reinitialize_lockspace.py\", line 30, in <module>\n ha_cli.reset_lockspace(force)\n File \"/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/ovirt_hosted_engine_ha/client/client.py\", line 286, in reset_lockspace\n stats = broker.get_stats_from_storage()\n File \"/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/ovirt_hosted_engine_ha/lib/brokerlink.py\", line 148, in get_stats_from_storage\n result = self._proxy.get_stats()\n File \"/usr/lib64/python3.6/xmlrpc/client.py\", line 1112, in __call__\n return self.__send(self.__name, args)\n File \"/usr/lib64/python3.6/xmlrpc/client.py\", line 1452, in __request\n verbose=self.__verbose\n File \"/usr/lib64/python3.6/xmlrpc/client.py\", line 1154, in request\n return self.single_request(host, handler, request_body, verbose)\n File \"/usr/lib64/python3.6/xmlrpc/client.py\", line 1166, in single_request\n http_conn = self.send_request(host, handler, request_body, verbose)\n File \"/usr/lib64/python3.6/xmlrpc/client.py\", line 1279, in send_request\n self.send_content(connection, request_body)\n File \"/usr/lib64/python3.6/xmlrpc/client.py\", line 1309, in send_content\n connection.endheaders(request_body)\n File \"/usr/lib64/python3.6/http/client.py\", line 1268, in endheaders\n self._send_output(message_body, encode_chunked=encode_chunked)\n File \"/usr/lib64/python3.6/http/client.py\", line 1044, in _send_output\n self.send(msg)\n File \"/usr/lib64/python3.6/http/client.py\", line 982, in send\n self.connect()\n File \"/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/ovirt_hosted_engine_ha/lib/unixrpc.py\", line 76, in connect\n self.sock.connect(base64.b16decode(self.host))\nFileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory", "stderr_lines": ["Traceback (most recent call last):", " File \"/usr/lib64/python3.6/runpy.py\", line 193, in _run_module_as_main", " \"__main__\", mod_spec)", " File \"/usr/lib64/python3.6/runpy.py\", line 85, in _run_code", " exec(code, run_globals)", " File \"/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/ovirt_hosted_engine_setup/reinitialize_lockspace.py\", line 30, in <module>", " ha_cli.reset_lockspace(force)", " File \"/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/ovirt_hosted_engine_ha/client/client.py\", line 286, in reset_lockspace", " stats = broker.get_stats_from_storage()", " File \"/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/ovirt_hosted_engine_ha/lib/brokerlink.py\", line 148, in get_stats_from_storage", " result = self._proxy.get_stats()", " File \"/usr/lib64/python3.6/xmlrpc/client.py\", line 1112, in __call__", " return self.__send(self.__name, args)", " File \"/usr/lib64/python3.6/xmlrpc/client.py\", line 1452, in __request", " verbose=self.__verbose", " File \"/usr/lib64/python3.6/xmlrpc/client.py\", line 1154, in request", " return self.single_request(host, handler, request_body, verbose)", " File \"/usr/lib64/python3.6/xmlrpc/client.py\", line 1166, in single_request", " http_conn = self.send_request(host, handler, request_body, verbose)", " File \"/usr/lib64/python3.6/xmlrpc/client.py\", line 1279, in send_request", " self.send_content(connection, request_body)", " File \"/usr/lib64/python3.6/xmlrpc/client.py\", line 1309, in send_content", " connection.endheaders(request_body)", " File \"/usr/lib64/python3.6/http/client.py\", line 1268, in endheaders", " self._send_output(message_body, encode_chunked=encode_chunked)", " File \"/usr/lib64/python3.6/http/client.py\", line 1044, in _send_output", " self.send(msg)", " File \"/usr/lib64/python3.6/http/client.py\", line 982, in send", " self.connect()", " File \"/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/ovirt_hosted_engine_ha/lib/unixrpc.py\", line 76, in connect", " self.sock.connect(base64.b16decode(self.host))", "FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory"], "stdout": "", "stdout_lines": []} Then the playbook cleans all the installation and exits. Really cant' figure what's going on ... This is the best point i reached in deploying HE after two weeks of failures and errors of any kind. Please, can someone point me in the right direction to solve this new issue? Thanks. giuliano
