ovirt with rocky linux kvm
by cynthiaberbery＠outlook.com 21 Jul '23

21 Jul '23

Hello, after installing multiple machines as rocky linux, Ovirt was chosen to be used to manage this infra. But adding these machines as "hosts" on ovirt always give: Error while executing action: Cannot add Host. Connecting to host via SSH has failed, verify that the host is reachable (IP address, routable address etc.) You may refer to the engine.log file for further details. Is rocky kvm supported on ovirt 4.3.10.4-1.el7? Do you have any contact with a supporting company/team for ovirt to check their support plan?

How to re-enroll a host with an active workload whose certificate expired
by David Johnson 20 Jul '23

20 Jul '23

Good evening all, I have a three host installation with a separate dedicated bare metal system for the engine, running Ovirt 4.5.2.4-1.el8. This afternoon, the engine lost communication with one of the hosts. The engine log says the certificate is expired. The official solution appears to be to put the host into maintenance mode then re-enroll it. Unfortunately, because the certificate is expired, the engine cannot switch to maintenance mode or control the VM's to shut them down. Error while executing action: Cannot switch Host to Maintenance mode. Host still has running VMs on it and is in Non Responsive state. See log excerpt below What is the correct way to update/reinstate a certificate in a running cluster when the engine does not acknowledge the host is operational due to an expired certificate? Thank you. *David Johnson* Log excerpt: 2023-07-20 16:27:46,904-05 INFO [org.ovirt.vdsm.jsonrpc.client.reactors.ReactorClient] (SSL Stomp Reactor) [] Connecting to /192.168.2.18 2023-07-20 16:27:46,904-05 INFO [org.ovirt.vdsm.jsonrpc.client.reactors.ReactorClient] (SSL Stomp Reactor) [] *Connected to /192.168.2.18:54321 <http://192.168.2.18:54321>* 2023-07-20 16:27:46,912-05 ERROR [org.ovirt.vdsm.jsonrpc.client.reactors.Reactor] (SSL Stomp Reactor) [] *Unable to process messages Received fatal alert: certificate_expired* 2023-07-20 16:27:46,914-05 ERROR [org.ovirt.engine.core.vdsbroker.monitoring.HostMonitoring] (EE-ManagedScheduledExecutorService-engineScheduledThreadPool-Thread-52) [] Unable to RefreshCapabilities: VDSNetworkException: VDSGenericException: VDSNetworkException: Received fatal alert: certificate_expired 2023-07-20 16:27:47,356-05 ERROR [org.ovirt.engine.core.vdsbroker.monitoring.HostMonitoring] (EE-ManagedScheduledExecutorService-engineScheduledThreadPool-Thread-34) [] Unable to RefreshCapabilities: ClientConnectionException: SSL session is invalid 2023-07-20 16:27:47,356-05 WARN [org.ovirt.engine.core.bll.lock.InMemoryLockManager] (EE-ManagedScheduledExecutorService-engineScheduledThreadPool-Thread-34) [] Trying to release exclusive lock which does not exist, lock key: 'f69d35b2-7666-4ac6-8645-2f119cf2ce1cVDS_INIT' 2023-07-20 16:27:47,356-05 INFO [org.ovirt.engine.core.vdsbroker.vdsbroker.GetCapabilitiesAsyncVDSCommand] (EE-ManagedScheduledExecutorService-engineScheduledThreadPool-Thread-34) [] Command 'org.ovirt.engine.core.vdsbroker.vdsbroker.GetCapabilitiesAsyncVDSCommand' return value 'org.ovirt.engine.core.vdsbroker.vdsbroker.VDSInfoReturn@7d03f4f0' 2023-07-20 16:27:47,356-05 INFO [org.ovirt.engine.core.vdsbroker.vdsbroker.GetCapabilitiesAsyncVDSCommand] (EE-ManagedScheduledExecutorService-engineScheduledThreadPool-Thread-34) [] HostName = ovirt-host-03 2023-07-20 16:27:47,356-05 ERROR [org.ovirt.engine.core.vdsbroker.vdsbroker.GetCapabilitiesAsyncVDSCommand] (EE-ManagedScheduledExecutorService-engineScheduledThreadPool-Thread-34) [] Command 'GetCapabilitiesAsyncVDSCommand(HostName = ovirt-host-03, VdsIdAndVdsVDSCommandParametersBase:{hostId='f69d35b2-7666-4ac6-8645-2f119cf2ce1c', vds='Host[ovirt-host-03,f69d35b2-7666-4ac6-8645-2f119cf2ce1c]'})' execution failed: org.ovirt.vdsm.jsonrpc.client.ClientConnectionException: *SSL session is invalid*

First time user/setup
by jmred88＠gmail.com 20 Jul '23

20 Jul '23

Could someone explain to me the proper documentation I should be using for a standalone setup? I have one host with local storage/resources and would like that to both host and manage my VMs but I keep getting into the weeds with which documentation to follow.

oVirt 4.4. Engine Deployment: Problems with Gluster Storage Domain
by Thyen, Niko 18 Jul '23

18 Jul '23

Hi everybody! I am having a hard time getting oVirt 4.4 to work. We want to update our 4.3 Cluster and i am trying to set up a fresh 4.4 Cluster (and restore the backup later on) in order to update to 4.5. It fails at the end of the engine deloyment, when the Gluster Storage Domain should be added. I installed oVirt Node 4.4.10 on an old PC and made the following modifications to the engine deployment process: - altered defaults in /usr/share/ansible/collections/ansible_collections/ovirt/ovirt/roles/hosted_engine_setup/defaults/main.yml: - "he_pause_before_engine_setup: true" (in this pause before engine setup, i ssh into the engine and exclude the package postgresql-jdbc from update, which otherwise breaks the deployment [1]) - "he_remove_appliance_rpm: false" (to avoid the large download every single try, i tried a lot) - "he_force_ip4: true" (to avoid problems with IPv6, see below) - in /usr/share/ansible/collections/ansible_collections/ovirt/ovirt/roles/hosted_engine_setup/tasks/fetch_host_ip.yml i added after "- name: Get host address resolution:" the following lines (to avoid a problem with an "invalid" IPv6-Adress, which otherwise breaks the deployment [2]): - name: Get host IP addresses ansible.builtin.command: hostname -I register: hostname_addresses_output changed_when: true Most times, i started deployment via shell but tried via webinterface of the node as well. It fails at the task "Add glusterfs storage domain" with the following message: "[ ERROR ] ovirtsdk4.Error: Fault reason is "Operation Failed". Fault detail is "[Failed to fetch Gluster Volume List]". HTTP response code is 400." (See also [3]) When the setup asks for storage, i tried different answers (gluster.local:/volume, gluster.local:/path/to/brick/volume, 192.168.8.51:/volume ...), no mount options. I added firewall rules for glusterfs at node and engine. Even tried disabling the firewall. No firewall on the gluster servers running. On the Node, i also tested setting SELinux to permissive. Recorded the traffic at different interfaces ("ovirtmgmt" and "virbr0" on the node and "eth0" on the engine) and i can see the node and the gluster server talking: Node gets the volume with options (which are, btw, compliant to the docs, "storage.owner-gid: 36" "storage.owner-uid: 36" etc) but thats it, no further packets to mount the volume. I noticed some ARP packets as well, the node asks the IP from the engine (the configured static IP, which is not yet active). And the engine sends a dns request for the gluster server to the node (via interface virbr0), but doesnt connect to the gluster server. At least, thats what i can see, most of the traffic is TLS, which i couldnt decrypt yet. I appreciate any hint where to find the right keys. Anyway, i can ssh from the engine to the gluster server and mount the gluster volume manually on the node (mount -t glusterfs gluster.local:/volume /local/path), so there seem no connectivity issues. Since the engine deployment log is around 30MB i attached a log summary with findings i found relevant. I'll provide more logs if needed. I really wanna put this huge timesink to an end. Can anyone help me or point me in the right direction? Many thanks in advance :) Regards, Niko [1] This was the error message i got: "[ ERROR ] fatal: [localhost -> 192.168.222.195]: FAILED! => {"attempts": 30, "changed": false, "connection": "close", "content": "Error500 - Internal Server Error", "content_encoding": "identity", "content_length": "86", "content_type": "text/html; charset=UTF-8", "date": "Wed, 17 May 2023 22:42:27 GMT", "elapsed": 0, "msg": "Status code was 500 and not [200]: HTTP Error 500: Internal Server Error", "redirected": false, "server": "Apache/2.4.37 (centos) OpenSSL/1.1.1k mod_auth_gssapi/1.6.1 mod_wsgi/4.6.4 Python/3.6", "status": 500, "url": "http://localhost/ovirt-engine/services/health"}" [2] This was the error message i got: "VDSM ovirt.martinwi.local command HostSetupNetworksVDS failed: Internal JSON-RPC error: {'reason': "Invalid IP address: 'fe80::ea3f:67ff:fe7f:a029%ovirtmgmt' does not appear to be an IPv4 or IPv6 address"}" [3] /var/log/ovirt-hosted-engine-setup/ovirt-hosted-engine-setup-20230718140628-rryscj.log: 2023-07-18 16:32:35,877+0200 DEBUG otopi.ovirt_hosted_engine_setup.ansible_utils ansible_utils._process_output:106 {'msg': 'Fault reason is "Operation Failed".

Local physical disk directly on the VM
by Jorge Visentini 17 Jul '23

17 Jul '23

Hi. Is it possible to deliver a physical disk straight to the VM? What's my idea... I have a local disk on the server and I want to deliver it directly to a VM, is it possible? For example, take the hypervisor disk /dev/disk/by-id/ata-INTEL_SSDSC2KB480G8_PHYF117203AA480BGN and hand it to the VM. BR. -- Att, Jorge Visentini +55 55 98432-9868

Re: Future of the oVirt CSI Driver

On 7/11/23 2:58 AM, Sandro Bonazzola wrote: > I think that if OKD is dropping the oVirt CSI Driver this also will mean > nobody will be actively developing it anymore. I asked about this on the Kubernetes Slack workspace and Vadim mentioned that in order for the OKD project to continue providing oVirt support, someone with oVirt knowledge and operator development would need to step up. It would also require forking the installer and a few other projects, which is something the OKD team spent a lot of effort to not have to do anymore during the 4.x series. https://github.com/openshift/installer Looking at the OpenShift Installer git, so far what's changed is an admin can no longer specify oVirt as a deployment target. According to Jira, there will be a second phase of the deprecation where the actual provisioning pieces (e.g. Terraform) will be removed, but that probably won't be for 4.14. https://issues.redhat.com//browse/OCPBUGS-14818 But not having anyone develop the CSI driver means it will likely end up with bit rot. With OpenShift 4.14 the oVirt platform becomes less attractive to use, though IPI/UPI installations should be possible. A different storage backend would probably be recommended, however. -- Mike Rochefort

Future of the oVirt CSI Driver
by Michael Rochefort 11 Jul '23

11 Jul '23

Starting with OpenShift / OKD 4.14, the oVirt CSI driver will no longer be delivered as part of the platform and the oVirt provisioning artifacts will not be included in the installer. Does this at all impact the development and maintenance plans for the driver itself? Original archived driver: https://github.com/oVirt/csi-driver OpenShift forked driver: https://github.com/openshift/ovirt-csi-driver Cheers, Mike

System unexpectedly lost power. Now when I try to start one of the VMs I get: "ACTION_TYPE_FAILED_DISK_IS_BEING_TRANSFERRED". This may be due to a failed backup earlier in the week. There are no active tasks against this VM or its disk at this time. The disk shows OK in the storage view. Any ideas?

Suggestion to switch to nightly
by Sandro Bonazzola 07 Jul '23

07 Jul '23

Hi, As you probably noticed there were no regular releases after oVirt 4.5.4 <https://ovirt.org/release/4.5.4/> in December 2022. Despite the calls to action to the community and to the companies involved with oVirt, there have been no uptake of the leading of the oVirt project yet. The developers at Red Hat still dedicating time to the project are now facing the fact they lack the time to do formal releases despite they keep fixing platform regressions like the recent ones due to the new ansible changes. That makes a nightly snapshot setup a more stable environment than oVirt 4.5.4. For this reason, we would like to suggest the user community to enable nightly repositories for oVirt by following the procedure at: https://www.ovirt.org/develop/dev-process/install-nightly-snapshot.html This will ensure that the latest fixes for the platform regressions will be promptly available. Regards, -- Sandro Bonazzola MANAGER, SOFTWARE ENGINEERING - Red Hat In-Vehicle Operating System Red Hat EMEA <https://www.redhat.com/> sbonazzo(a)redhat.com <https://www.redhat.com/> *Red Hat respects your work life balance. Therefore there is no need to answer this email out of your office hours.*

GPU Passthrough issues with oVirt 4.5

Hi all, we imported a rhel 9.2 image from an OVA generated on vmware and we tried to create a new VM but we had a no bootable disk error. The OVA has been imported with virt-2-v library and if we create a new VM we noticed that the disk is 2 GB size but we resized the disk to 50 GB. The VM has been started with Q35 Chipset with UEFI options and the disk has the flag bootable activated. We're using ovirt 4.5.4-1 Could you help us to sort this issue? Thanks, Marcello

Restoring HE Fails, engine-config cannot connect to database
by Levi Wilbert 06 Jul '23

06 Jul '23

I am attempting to restore n HE backup to a fresh host (not previously in the old environment) in order to restore our old environment but running into issues during the deployment. Basically my goal is to remove and redeploy an existing HE back into its same environment on a new storage domain. What I've done: backed up HE from prior environment Installed oVirt 4.5.10 on a fresh node that was not in the prior environment Ran the redeployment: hosted-engine --deploy --restore-from-file=<bkpfile> --4 The script pauses the deployment (even tho I told it not to), during this part I update /etc/dnf/dnf.conf w/ "exclude=ansible-core" since once ansible-core is updated it breaks the deployment script w/ Python incompatibilities. But I'm running into the following: [ ERROR ] fatal: [localhost -> 192.168.222.158]: FAILED! => {"changed": true, "cmd": "set -euo pipefail && engine-config -g DisableFenceAtStartupInSec | cut -d' ' -f2 > /root/DisableFenceAtStartupInSec.txt", "delta": "0:00:01.296169", "end": "2023-07-05 11:29:14.101292", "msg": "non-zero return code", "rc": 1, "start": "2023-07-05 11:29:12.805123", "stderr": "Picked up JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS: -Dcom.redhat.fips=false", "stderr_lines": ["Picked up JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS: -Dcom.redhat.fips=false"], "stdout": "", "stdout_lines": []} I see that it fails running the engine-config command on the new hosted engine, but when I SSH to it and try running it, I get: # engine-config -l Picked up JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS: -Dcom.redhat.fips=false Connection to the Database failed. Please check that the hostname and port number are correct and that the Database service is up and running. I haven't been able to find anything specifically for this area searching through Google. Anyone have any idea where to go with this?

Hi. I'm trying to deploy the engine but I'm having some errors that I couldn't identify. I don't know if it's incompatibility with my hardware or some libvirt bug.

ovirt template import using ansible
by destfinal＠googlemail.com 05 Jul '23

05 Jul '23

Hi, I use a set of templates, generated in one cluster and re-used in multiple clusters. The clusters do not have direct connections between each other. My dev environment can talk to all the clusters. Currently, 1. I export the templates (as OVAs) to one of the nodes (example: node1.source.cluster), from the ovirt console (https://management.source.cluster) 2. scp the templates to my dev machine (example: scp -r node1.source.cluster:/tmp/ovirt_templates /tmp/ovirt_templates) 3. scp the templates from my dev environment to the target cluster (example: scp /tmp/ovirt_templates node1.target.cluster:/tmp) 4. Import the templates using the ovirt console of the target cluster (https://management.target.cluster) This is highly a manual job and I am trying to automate the process using ansible. I am unable to work it out using the ovit_template module documentation (https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/collections/ovirt/ovirt/ovirt_templ…) and could not able to see any other module in this relation. Has anybody done this before and point me to the right direction? Or if there is a better process than what I follow above, please suggest me one. Please let me know if you need more information in this regard. Thanks

Managing Ovirt Networks with Ansible
by William Roberts 29 Jun '23

29 Jun '23

Hi Team, So I'm setting up some automation to build an environment within an ovirt cluster of X amount of nodes. Part of that is the creation of the networks, and subsequently the attaching of those network to each host in the cluster. Seems pretty straight forward except for the fact you need the name of the interfaces to attach the networks to, unfortunately none of the ansible 2.9 modules I've been trying give you that information. Specifically ovirt_host_info, has a list item called "nics" which i assumed would give it but it doesn't return a value. Does anyone know of a module that would give this info? seems like a pretty crucial thing to be missing. TIA Will

securing ovirt vnc console
by Bill James 28 Jun '23

28 Jun '23

Our security requirements require that we disable tls1.0 and tla1.1 for VNC port, 59xx. I have not yet been able to find where this can be done, only for spice console. Can anyone assist in pointing me to what config file controls this? ovirt-engine 4.3.

Re: Customizing ovirt vm / user web portal
by R A 28 Jun '23

28 Jun '23

Hello, the idea was to run the vm portal from another host and connect it through REST-API with the host which run ovirt-engine for example for a dev environment. So it’s not possible? I guess importing the third Party CA local in to ovirt-engine should also work local with the vmportal. BR Peter Von: Patrick Hibbs <hibbsncc1701(a)gmail.com> Gesendet: Mittwoch, 28. Juni 2023 10:27 An: R A <Jarheadx(a)hotmail.de> Betreff: Re: [ovirt-users] Re: Customizing ovirt vm / user web portal Hello, oVirt doesn't use the system wide java keystore. It uses it's own at /etc/pki/ovirt-engine/.truststore If you want your third party cert to work with the java components, such as the disc image uploader function in the admin console, you'll either need to follow the official documentation for altering it. Or import the third party CA manually. (It uses the default keystore password.) -Patrick Hibbs

Hello experts. Environment: 2 identical servers running CentOS Linux release 7.7.1908 oVirt Version:4.3.7.2-1.el7 No clusters configured. NFS share for backups on third server. Have some questions. 1. Need to create backups of virtual machines to NFS without downtime. Can an 'OVA export' be a complete policy for backups? 2. Is there a way to export vm to OVA via command line?

Version 4.5.1 I try to modify the parameter of SSO_ALTERNATE_ENGINE_FQDNS in /etc/ovirt-engine/engine.conf.d/11-setup-sso.conf to a new domain name The web interface opens normally, but the management portal cannot be accessed. Entering the management portal prompts 500 internal Server error
