gluster and virtualization
by eevans＠digitaldatatechs.com 02 Feb '22

02 Feb '22

My setup is 3 ovirt nodes that run gluster independently of the engine server, even thought the engine still controls it. So 4 nodes, one engine and 3 clustered nodes. This has been and running with no issues except this: But now my arbiter node will not load the gluster drive when virtualization is enable in the BIOS. I've been scratching my head on this and need some direction. I am attaching the error. https://1drv.ms/u/s!AvgvEzKKSZHbhMRQmUHDvv_Xv7dkhw?e=QGdfYR Keep in mind, this error does not occur is VT is turned off..it boots normally. Thanks in advance.

Host needs to be reinstalled after configuring power management
by Andrew DeMaria 02 Feb '22

02 Feb '22

Hi, I am running ovirt 4.3 and have found the following action item immediately after configuring power management for a host: Host needs to be reinstalled as important configuration changes were applied on it. The thing is - I've just freshly installed this host and it seems strange that I need to reinstall it. Is there a better way to install a host and configure power management without having to reinstall it after? Thanks, Andrew

migration infinite loop
by Renaud RAKOTOMALALA 02 Feb '22

02 Feb '22

Hi, I switch an host in "PreparingForMaintenance" state to prepare an upgrade. In this stage the host migrating all VM but failed on one due to a network's congestion. Because the host try to migrate this VM and the constant failure of the migration, we enter in an infinite loop. How can I stop this loop ? I’m not able to cancel the mainteance mode with the WebUI. Any idea ? Thanks -- Renaud

Cinderlib RBD ceph template issues
by Sketch 01 Feb '22

01 Feb '22

This is on oVirt 4.4.8, engine on CS8, hosts on C8, cluster and DC are both set to 4.6. With a newly configured cinderlib/ceph RBD setup. I can create new VM images, and copy existing VM images, but I can't copy existing template images to RBD. When I do, I try, I get this error in cinderlib.log (see below), which sounds like the disk already exists there, but it definitely does not. This leaves me unable to create new VMs on RBD, only migrate existing VM disks. 2021-09-01 04:31:05,881 - cinder.volume.driver - INFO - Driver hasn't implemented _init_vendor_properties() 2021-09-01 04:31:05,882 -

no snaphot but engines complains there is one when trying to remove disk
by Nathanaël Blanchet 01 Feb '22

01 Feb '22

Hi all, A colleague launched this morning a snapshot creation, there was no error message but he wasn't able to start the vm anymore, with this issue : VM PSI-SYB-DEV is down with error. Exit message: Unable to get volume size for domain a5be6cae-f0c8-452f-b7cd-70d0e5eed710 volume 109fac1e-c2e3-4ba6-9867-5d1c94d3a447.. I tried many things but nothing works: it is impossible to remove this disk, or copy it, or clone the vm : Cannot detach Virtual Disk. The disk is already configured in a snapshot. In order to detach it, remove the disk's snapshots. There is no snaphost listed into webui or api (so not snapshot id), while disk_snapshots exists into the associated storage domain. So I tried to remove disks snapshot direvctly with API followind the DELETE method |DELETE /api/storagedomains/{storage_id}/disksnapshots/{image_id}| [Cannot remove Disk Snapshot. VM\'s Snapshot does not exist.] In conclusion: vm_disks can't be removed because of the non existent associated vm's snapshot id. I tried to remove vm_snapshots disks references directly into the postgres DB but I didn't find the correct table. What can I do now? Your precious help is welcome. -- Nathanaël Blanchet Supervision réseau SIRE 227 avenue Professeur-Jean-Louis-Viala 34193 MONTPELLIER CEDEX 5 Tél. 33 (0)4 67 54 84 55 Fax 33 (0)4 67 54 84 14 blanchet(a)abes.fr

oVirt 4.4.10 Async update #2
by Sandro Bonazzola 30 Jan '22

30 Jan '22

On January 26th 2022 the oVirt project released an async update to the following packages: - ovirt-engine 4.4.10.6 Fixing the following bugs: - [BZ 2044277 <https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2044277>] - Replace ovirt-engine-extension-logger-log4j with internal ovirt-engine implementation Package ovirt-engine-extension-logger-log4j has been obsoleted and replaced by internal ovirt-engine implementation in oVirt Engine 4.4.10.6. During upgrade from previous oVirt versions to oVirt 4.4.10 ovirt-engine-extension-logger-log4j package is uninstalled if it was previously installed. If you used ovirt-engine-extension-logger-log4j in previous oVirt versions, you will need to manually remove existing ovirt-engine-extension-logger-log4j configuration files and configure the new feature of sending log records to remote syslog service according to the Administration Guide. Also after successful upgrade to oVirt 4.4.10 you can manually uninstall log4j12 package without breaking oVirt setup: $ dnf remove log4j12 - [BZ 2044257 <https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2044257>] - Bump snmp4j library version to remove dependency on log4j oVirt Engine 4.4.10.6 is requiring snmp4j >= 3.6.4, which no longer depends on log4j library -- Sandro Bonazzola MANAGER, SOFTWARE ENGINEERING, EMEA R&D RHV Red Hat EMEA <https://www.redhat.com/> sbonazzo(a)redhat.com <https://www.redhat.com/> *Red Hat respects your work life balance.

Problems with OVirt 4.3 on old IBM HS22 blades
by manieq.net＠gmail.com 28 Jan '22

28 Jan '22

Hi all, I'm pretty new to OVirt so forgive me if this problems is trivial... I received an old IBM BladeCenter H chassis with a few HS22 blades. Some of them are successfully working in my Ovirt farm, but some not. The NonOperational nodes are not used because of missing Westmere model. I use 4.3.10 wersion because 4.4 did not supported some old HW (net adapters, IIRC). The problem is that many blades are almost identical. For example ("Hosts" page --> "General" tab --> "Hardware" section): * BLADE 1 (not working): Manufacturer:IBM Family:System x Product Name:BladeCenter HS22 -[7870H4G]- Version:07 UUID:e36b6686-d111-11df-9dce-e41f13cb90d0 Serial Number:06FP476 CPU Model Name:Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU X5670 @ 2.93GHz CPU Type:Intel Nehalem IBRS SSBD Family CPU Sockets:2 CPU Cores per Socket:6 CPU Threads per Core:2 (SMT Enabled) * BLADE 2 (working fine): Manufacturer: IBM Family: System x Product Name: BladeCenter HS22 -[7870H4G]- Version: 07 UUID: 30f2fcc8-d0ce-11df-bc12-e41f13cb90cc Serial Number: 06FP469 CPU Model Name: Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU X5670 @ 2.93GHz CPU Type: Intel Westmere IBRS SSBD Family CPU Sockets: 2 CPU Cores per Socket: 6 CPU Threads per Core: 2 (SMT Enabled) They have same CPU, same HW model, even S/N shows they were produced in the same time. How is it possible to identify X5670 so differently? Any hints/suggestions what to check/change?

Re: [ovirt-devel] Re: how to UI/API certificates with a valid one (ex: let's encrypt) ? ( as open shift required one )
by Guillaume Pavese 26 Jan '22

26 Jan '22

Hello, I too have a problem using custom cert with OCP provisioning on oVirt I followed the following documentation to update the default cert with my letsencrypt one : https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_virtualization/4.4/ht… This documentation is similar to the one linked by Yedidyah Bar David : https://www.ovirt.org/documentation/administration_guide/index.html#appe-Re… After following these steps, I can verify in my browser that the engine is now behind the new custom certificate from letsencrypt. However, the old certificate is still served by the url : https://engine.fqdn/ovirt-engine/services/pki-resource?resource=ca-certific… When running openshift-install create install-config, the certificate that is automaticlly retrived from engine.fqdn:443 is the old one, not the new custom one. Are there missing steps in the above procedures?

New oVirt setup with OVN : Hypervisor with LACP bond : queries
by ravi k 26 Jan '22

26 Jan '22

Hello team, Thank you for all the wonderful work you've been doing. I'm starting out new with oVirt and OVN. So please excuse me if the questions are too naive. We intend to do a POC to check if we can migrate VMs off our current VMware to oVirt. The intention is to migrate the VMs with the same IP into oVirt. We've setup oVirt with three hypervisors. All of them have four ethernet adapters. We have SDN implemented in our network and LACP bonds are created at the switch level. So we've created two bonds, bond0 and bond1 in each hypervisor. bond0 has the logical networks with vlan tagging created like bond0.101, bond0.102 etc. As a part of the POC we also want to explore OVN as well to check if we can implement a zero trust security policy. Here are the questions now :) 1. We would like to migrate VMs with the current IP into oVirt. Is it possible to achieve this? I've been reading notes and pages that mention about extending the physical network into OVN. But it's a bit confusing on how to implement it. How do we connect OVN to the physical network? Does the fact that we have a SDN make it easier to get this done? I am still reading the ovn-architecture page. It is mentioned that the gateway is the component that extends a tunnel-based logical network into a physical network. 2. We have the IP for the hypervisor assigned on a logical network(ovirtmgmt) in bond0. I read in https://lists.ovirt.org/archives/list/users@ovirt.org/thread/CIE6MZ47GRCEX4… that oVirt does not care about how the IP is configured when creating the tunnels. 3. Once we have OVN setup, ovn logical networks created and VMs created/migrated, how do we establish the zero trust policy? From what I've read there are ACLs and security groups. Any pointers on where to explore more about implementing it. If you've read till here, thank you for your patience. Regards, ravi

Import an exported VM using Ansible
by paolo＠airaldi.it 25 Jan '22

25 Jan '22

Hello everybody! I'm trying to automate a copy of a VM from one Datacenter to another using an Ansible.playbook. I'm able to: - Create a snapshot of the source VM - create a clone from the snapshot - remove the snapshot - attach an Export Domain - export the clone to the Export Domain - remove the clone - detach the Export domain from the source Datacenter and attach to the destination. Unfortunately I cannot find a module to: - import the VM from the Export Domain - delete the VM image from the Export Domain. Any hint on how to do that? Thanks in advance. Cheers. Paolo PS: if someone is interested I can share the playbook.

It is configured on the host but setup does not deliver it into the appliance (temporarily HE). So what to do? Howto tell setup to use a proxy in HE appliance? Thank you for hits! Chris

Major problems after upgrading 2 (of 4) Red Hat hosts to 4.4.10
by David White 23 Jan '22

23 Jan '22

I have a Hyperconverged cluster with 4 hosts. Gluster is replicated across 2 hosts, and a 3rd host is an arbiter node. The 4th host is compute only. I updated the compute-only node, as well as the arbiter node, early this morning. I didn't touch either of the actual storage nodes.That said, I forgot to upgrade the engine. oVirt Manager thinks that all but 1 of the hosts in the cluster are unhealthy. However, all 4 hosts are online. oVirt Manager (Engine) also keeps deactivating at least 1, if not 2 of the 3 (total) bricks behind each volume. Even though the Engine thinks that only 1 host is healthy, VMs are clearly running on some of the other hosts. However, in troubleshooting, some of the customer VMs were turned off, and oVirt is refusing to start those VMs, because it only recognizes that 1 of the hosts is healthy -- and that host's resources are maxed out. This afternoon, I went ahead and upgraded (and rebooted) the Engine VM, so it is now up-to-date. Unfortunately, that didn't resolve the issue. So I took one of the "unhealthy" hosts which didn't have any VMs on it (which was the host that is our compute-only server hosting no gluster data), and I used oVirt to "reinstall" the oVirt software. That didn't resolve the issue for that host. How can I troubleshoot this? I need: - To figure out why oVirt keeps trying to deactivate volumes - From the command line, `gluster peer status` show all nodes connected, and all volumes appear to be healthy - More importantly, I need to get these VMs that are currently down back online. Is there a way to somehow force oVirt to launch the VMs on the "unhealthy" nodes? What logs should I be looking at? Any help would be greatly appreciated . Sent with ProtonMail Secure Email.

How does the Stream based management engine transition to RHV?
by Thomas Hoberg 23 Jan '22

23 Jan '22

In the recent days, I've been trying to validate the transition from CentOS 8 to Alma, Rocky, Oracle and perhaps soon Liberty Linux for existing HCI clusters. I am using nested virtualization on a VMware workstation host, because I understand snapshoting and linked clones much better on VMware, even if I've tested nested virtualization to some degree with oVirt as well. It makes moving forth and back between distros and restarting failed oVirt deployments much easier and more reliable than ovirt-hosted-engine-cleanup. Installing oVirt 4.10 on TrueCentOS systems, which had been freshly switched to Alma, Rocky and Oracle went relatively well, apart from Oracle pushing UEK kernels, which break VDO (and some Python2 mishaps). I'm still testing transitioning pre-existing TrueCentOS HCI glusters to Alma, Rocky and Oracle. While that solves the issue of having the hosts running a mature OS which is downstream of RHEL, there is still an issue with the management engine being based on the upstream stream release: It doesn't have the vulnerability managment baked in, which is required even for labs use in an enterprise. So I'd like to ask our Redhat friends here: How does this work when releases of oVirt transition to RHV? Do you backport oVirt changes from Stream to RHEL? When bugs are found in that process, are they then fed back into oVirt or into the oVirt-to-RHEV proces?

CentOS 8.4 Linux hosts from 4.4.8 to Rocky Linux 4.4.10
by Gianluca Cecchi 23 Jan '22

23 Jan '22

Hello, after updating the external engine from CentOS 8.4 and 4.4.8 to Rocky Linux 8.5 and 4.4.9 as outlined here: https://lists.ovirt.org/archives/list/users@ovirt.org/message/YUDJRC22SQPAP… I went further and updated also the hosts. Environment is with an external engine and 3 CentOS Linux 8.4 hosts in 4.4.8 with iSCSI storage domain. Preliminarily I upgraded the engine to 4.4.10 (not yet the just released async) without problems. Then, one host at a time: . put host into maintenance from web admin UI Management --> Maintenance . In a terminal f host set proxy for my environment needs export https_proxy=http://my_proxy:my_proxy_port export http_proxy=http://my_proxy:my_proxy_port (not sure if this necessary...) . in the same terminal execute migration script ./migrate2rocky.sh -r . executed Management --> SSH Management --> SSH Restart from web admin ui the host comes on in maintenance mode . selected Installation --> Check for Upgrade but the host is detected as already update . for further security and to be sure that all upgrade steps are applied I executed Installation --> Reinstall I deselected - activate host after install - reboot host after install It went ok so . executed Management --> SSH Management --> SSH Restart from web admin ui the host comes on in maintenance mode . Management --> Activate . Empty another host moving its VMs to the just updated host and continue in the same way, also electing as new SPM the updated host All went smoothly and without VMs disruption. Let's see how it goes next days with the light workload I have on this testing environment. Currently the async 1 of 4.4.10 is not catched up by engine-upgrade-check command.. I'm going to retry applying again during the next few days. Gianluca
