Downgrading qemu-kvm
by Gary Pedretty 09 Dec '21

09 Dec '21

So even the latest updated to qemu-kvm is still broken in regards to running VMs in Ovirt. I thought I would try Node on a new host and the current install iso, installs version 6.0 of kvm, which still works, but if you do an upgrade on the node host it sill updates to the latest 6.1 version of kvm. Question, how do you downgrade kvm on a node host, the regular yum downgrade does not seem to work on a node host. Gary _______________________________ Gary Pedretty Director of IT Ravn Alaska

oVirt host - yum dependency error
by tferic＠swissonline.ch 08 Dec '21

Hi I have an existing oVirt host 4.4 running on CentOS 8, and I am in the process of converting the OS to CentOS Stream. I am getting the following errors: ``` # yum update Last metadata expiration check: 0:03:14 ago on Wed 08 Dec 2021 01:05:55 AM CET.

Notice: The oVirt host is also a gluster storage server (hyperconverged). Thanks Toni

Q35 with BIOS broken
by mediocre.slacker＠protonmail.com 08 Dec '21

08 Dec '21

I've been trying to get oVirt working for a week now with a self-hosted engine setup. Eventually, today, I decided to try a standalone engine and see if I can't at least get that to work, to maybe figure out what the issue is. It seems the default chipset type is Q35 with BIOS. But it fails to boot a VM. I'm not sure where to even look in the logs for this. The VM just never comes up, even though it's shown as being up in the oVirt administration page. I found similar symptoms when trying to set up a hosted-engine on the same machine. The VM would fail health check, and hosted-engine --vm-status would show the VM as up, but health check failing. The VM wasn't available over the network and it never pulled a DHCP lease from my router. I've looked at the logs pretty extensively and couldn't find anything to indicate what the cause of the problem was, or that this was even the problem in the first place. As far as the logs seem to be concerned, the VM is running fine, and it's a network issue.

Hi. I've Qemu/Libvirt from ovirt-release-master-4.5.0-0.0.master.20211206152702.gitebb0229.el9.noarch and it seems QXL is not there. Is that a fluke or intention? Do you have QXL working? many thanks, L.

Fresh install on CentOS Stream 8. After installing ovirt-hosted-engine-setup, I encounter the following dependency errors when trying to run dnf upgrade: Error: Problem 1: package rsyslog-openssl-8.2102.0-5.el8.x86_64 requires rsyslog = 8.2102.0-5.el8, but none of the providers can be installed - cannot install both rsyslog-8.2102.0-6.el8.x86_64 and rsyslog-8.2102.0-5.el8.x86_64 - cannot install the best update candidate for package rsyslog-openssl-8.2102.0-5.el8.x86_64 - cannot install the best update candidate for package rsyslog-8.2102.0-5.el8.x86_64 Problem 2: package ovirt-host-dependencies-4.4.9-2.el8.x86_64 requires rsyslog-openssl, but none of the providers can be installed - package rsyslog-openssl-8.2102.0-5.el8.x86_64 requires rsyslog = 8.2102.0-5.el8, but none of the providers can be installed - cannot install both rsyslog-8.2102.0-6.el8.x86_64 and rsyslog-8.2102.0-5.el8.x86_64 - package rsyslog-elasticsearch-8.2102.0-6.el8.x86_64 requires rsyslog = 8.2102.0-6.el8, but none of the providers can be installed - cannot install the best update candidate for package rsyslog-elasticsearch-8.2102.0-5.el8.x86_64 - cannot install the best update candidate for package ovirt-host-dependencies-4.4.9-2.el8.x86_64 Problem 3: problem with installed package rsyslog-openssl-8.2102.0-5.el8.x86_64 - package rsyslog-openssl-8.2102.0-5.el8.x86_64 requires rsyslog = 8.2102.0-5.el8, but none of the providers can be installed - cannot install both rsyslog-8.2102.0-6.el8.x86_64 and rsyslog-8.2102.0-5.el8.x86_64 - package rsyslog-mmjsonparse-8.2102.0-6.el8.x86_64 requires rsyslog = 8.2102.0-6.el8, but none of the providers can be installed - cannot install the best update candidate for package rsyslog-mmjsonparse-8.2102.0-5.el8.x86_64 Problem 4: package ovirt-host-4.4.9-2.el8.x86_64 requires ovirt-host-dependencies = 4.4.9-2.el8, but none of the providers can be installed - package ovirt-host-dependencies-4.4.9-2.el8.x86_64 requires rsyslog-openssl, but none of the providers can be installed - package rsyslog-openssl-8.2102.0-5.el8.x86_64 requires rsyslog = 8.2102.0-5.el8, but none of the providers can be installed - cannot install both rsyslog-8.2102.0-6.el8.x86_64 and rsyslog-8.2102.0-5.el8.x86_64 - package rsyslog-mmnormalize-8.2102.0-6.el8.x86_64 requires rsyslog = 8.2102.0-6.el8, but none of the providers can be installed - cannot install the best update candidate for package rsyslog-mmnormalize-8.2102.0-5.el8.x86_64 - cannot install the best update candidate for package ovirt-host-4.4.9-2.el8.x86_64 (try to add '--allowerasing' to command line to replace conflicting packages or '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages or '--nobest' to use not only best candidate packages) Running dnf distro-sync --nobest allows it to proceed, which causes some ovirt packages to be upgraded. Running hosted-engine --deploy and installing with nfs storage, everything goes good up until stage 5, at which point vdsm pegs a core at 100% for some minutes, until the task inevitably fails. hosted-engine --vm-status reports EngineStarting forever. No memory is consumed to indicate that the VM even started. The VM never even tries to get a DHCP lease from my router. All indicators point the vm just not starting, for some reason. Zero useful information available on Google. Zero useful information available in the documentation. Zero useful information available in the logs. No clear cause as to why the hosted engine refuses to start. The NFS share has correct permissions, and can be mounted. The NFS share is on the same host the engine is being installed to, in the same subnet/vlan and, even through the same network adapter. The shared storage works fine for copying the local hosted engine to the shared storage during the setup process and I can see the files have been created.

on-demand machine creation for VDI project
by Luca Contessa 06 Dec '21

06 Dec '21

Hi List, I've made an oVirt node installation (oVirt ver. 4.4.9) for a VDI project and I'd like to ask if it is possible to create an empty pool with a maximum number of machine and as the machine are required by the end user (so when the users use the think client to request the provisioning of a machine of the pool in question) the pool will dynamically create the machine and link it to the end user. To specify once more the pool will be create with no machine in it, only a maximum limit on the number of machines, and as the user start connecting to the pool the VM will be created, started and provisioned to the user requesting them. Then when the user stop using the machine they would like the system to save the datas and stop the machine and from that point on when the user will connect the virtual machine connected to their account on the AD system should start. Do you know if this is possibile? Thanks a lot to everybody, Luca

How to turn off the state of tlbflush for Windows vm
by Hean-Seng Tan 06 Dec '21

06 Dec '21

We encounter random Windows BSOD (blue screen of death) issues for vm's in environment running oVirt Engine 4.4.4. Upgrading the environment to 4.4.8 does not fix the issue. There is a suggestion from https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1868572 to turn off the state of tlbflush under hyperv section for the Windows vm. Does anyone know how to achieve that? Currently, vm description returned from api call includes the following section that has tlbflush state: <features> <acpi/> <hyperv> <relaxed state='on'/> <vapic state='on'/> <spinlocks state='on' retries='8191'/> <vpindex state='on'/> <runtime state='on'/> <synic state='on'/> <stimer state='on'/> <reset state='on'/> <frequencies state='on'/> <reenlightenment state='on'/> <tlbflush state='on'/> </hyperv> </features>

Moving backing datastores from NFS to iSCSI
by David Johnson 03 Dec '21

03 Dec '21

Hello braintrust, My ovirt cluster is prone to hanging when it is put under a high IO load. In an earlier thread, someone determined that this is consistent across architectures and infrastructures when NFS is used for the backing datastore for the cluster. I was able to see a huge improvement by switching putting an nVME drive in as the intent log cache on the NAS. But, alas, that appears to have only put off the reckoning, and the cluster locked up again when I doubled the IO workload. Prior email chains to this list have established that the hang occurs because "something" in qemu throws the VM into PAUSE state instead of IOWAIT state when under load. Other emails I have viewed seem to point at NFS as the root cause, so a "least cost" suggestion is to migrate from NFS to iSCSI as backing storage. Is there an existing procedure for migrating Ovirt VM storage from NFS to iSCSI? Current architecture: Ovirt engine 4.4.4.7-1.el8 on centos 8.x, on bare metal intel desktop 2 hosts 4.4.4.7-1.el8 on centos 8.x TrueNAS Core 2020, with shares exposed as NFS 10 GBit dedicated storage Network Thanks, *David Johnson*

oVirt 3 Node with GlusterFS
by Joseph Goldman 03 Dec '21

03 Dec '21

Hi list, Building a new kit for a client, 3x servers each with a 5 disk RAID 5 10k SPIN and a 3 drive RAID 5 SSD I am thinking of doing a straight replica 3 GlusterFS, 1 for spin and 1 for SSD so a) all servers have technically local access to disks b) any server can die without much impact beyond awaiting migrate Is just a replica 3 best option for space + performance in a VM environment? Is there any specific tricks or traps I should look out for building such an environment? Any recommendations on why this is a good OR BAD idea? Thanks, Joe

routing table and wrong ip rule attribution on hosts
by Nathanaël Blanchet 30 Nov '21

30 Nov '21

Hi all, I 've finished migration from 4.4.4 to 4.4.9 and I'm facing a strange issue with routing table on my hosts: all IP addressed interfaces (and in particular gluster and migration ones that requiere an IP) are not part of the "254" or "0" usual ip rule. for instance: [root@fuego ~]# nmcli con sh gluster |grep ipv4.route-table ipv4.route-table: 202179335 [root@fuego ~]# nmcli con sh migration |grep ipv4.route-table ipv4.route-table: 316605387 but ovirtmgmt: [root@fuego ~]# nmcli con sh ovirtmgmt |grep ipv4.route-table ipv4.route-table: 254 (main) and obviously the main route table is empty: [root@ ~]# ip ro default via 10.34.100.65 dev ovirtmgmt proto dhcp metric 425 10.34.100.0/24 dev ovirtmgmt proto kernel scope link src 10.34.100.116 metric 425 None of the concerned hosts can ping each other on such interface, and live migrations systematically fail. This behaviour is new with 4.4.9 and I don't know if it is a new (and not achevied) network feature introduced with centos stream to deal network filtering packets. A simple workaround would be "nmcli connection mod migration ipv4.route-table 0 && nmcli con up migration", but I'd like to understand why such strange (and unuseful ?) rule table are now randomly attributed? -- 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

Updating hosted-engine from 4.4.5 to latest(4.4.9) fail with "DNF name '_get_key_for_package' is not defined"
by rene.purcell＠gmail.com 29 Nov '21

29 Nov '21

Hi! I'm having issue updating my nodes, normally I just clicked on them and update each of them without problem. I haven't updated since few months, now I'm unable to. So I checked the doc and saw that I probably should update my engine first so that's what I tried. Info on my setup: 2 nodes hosted-engine is ran as a vm on the same cluster storage is hosted on a NFS share on my qnap. I'm following the doc (https://www.ovirt.org/documentation/upgrade_guide/#updates-between-minor-re…) Fast recap I've put hosted-engine in global maintenance mode, installed the latest ovirt-release44.rpm on engine, engine-upgrade-check, yum update ovirt\*setup\* and finally ran the engine-setup which did not complete successfully.. Here's the error I get: [....] [ INFO ] DNF Downloaded python3-numexpr-2.7.1-1.el8.x86_64.rpm SKIPPED Already downloaded [ INFO ] DNF Downloaded perl-encoding-2.22-3.el8.x86_64.rpm SKIPPED Already downloaded [ INFO ] DNF Downloaded libXft-2.3.3-1.el8.x86_64.rpm SKIPPED Already downloaded [ INFO ] DNF Downloaded libXi-1.7.10-1.el8.x86_64.rpm SKIPPED Already downloaded [ INFO ] DNF Downloaded mcpp-2.7.2-20.el8.x86_64.rpm SKIPPED Already downloaded [ ERROR ] DNF name '_get_key_for_package' is not defined [ ERROR ] Failed to execute stage 'Package installation': name '_get_key_for_package' is not defined [ INFO ] DNF Performing DNF transaction rollback [ INFO ] Stage: Clean up Log file is located at /var/log/ovirt-engine/setup/ovirt-engine-setup-20211126111800-qsadme.log [ INFO ] Generating answer file '/var/lib/ovirt-engine/setup/answers/20211126111839-setup.conf' [ INFO ] Stage: Pre-termination [ INFO ] Stage: Termination [ ERROR ] Execution of setup failed I can't find more info in the log specified in the output, I understand there's something wrong with the list of packages the script try to load/update but can't find any bug reports or other people having this issue so I'm running out of idea.. Anybody have a solutions to try fixing this and complete my engine upgrade to 4.4.9? Thanks a lot, have a great day!!

Hello I successfully migrated from HE 4.3.10 to HE 4.4.9, but I think I commited a mistake: The HostedEngine vm was running on the host (haboob) where I deployed the upgrade path. Everything was ok except that I deployed it on the wrong host (haboob). So I live migrated the HostedEngine on the centos prexisting host (kilimanjaro) and erase haboob. Then I reinstalled a new host (fuego) to replace haboob. The HostedEngine is able to migrate between kilimajaro and fuego but now the vm seems to not be seen by any host when doing: [root@fuego ~]# hosted-engine --vm-status --== Host fuego (id: 1) status ==-- Host ID : 1 Host timestamp : 3252 Score : 3350 Engine status : {"vm": "down", "health": "bad", "detail": "unknown", "reason": "vm not running on this host"} Hostname : fuego Local maintenance : False stopped : False crc32 : 14527b72 conf_on_shared_storage : True local_conf_timestamp : 3257 Status up-to-date : True Extra metadata (valid at timestamp): metadata_parse_version=1 metadata_feature_version=1 timestamp=3252 (Sun Nov 28 18:27:29 2021) host-id=1 score=3350 vm_conf_refresh_time=3257 (Sun Nov 28 18:27:34 2021) conf_on_shared_storage=True maintenance=False state=EngineDown stopped=False --== Host kilimanjaro.v100.abes.fr (id: 3) status ==-- Host ID : 3 Host timestamp : 65261186 Score : 0 Engine status : {"reason": "vm not running on this host", "health": "bad", "vm": "down_unexpected", "detail": "unknown"} Hostname : kilimanjaro.v100.abes.fr Local maintenance : True stopped : False crc32 : c381cf1e conf_on_shared_storage : True local_conf_timestamp : 65261189 Status up-to-date : True Extra metadata (valid at timestamp): metadata_parse_version=1 metadata_feature_version=1 timestamp=65261186 (Sun Nov 28 19:27:23 2021) host-id=3 score=0 vm_conf_refresh_time=65261189 (Sun Nov 28 19:27:26 2021) conf_on_shared_storage=True maintenance=True state=LocalMaintenance stopped=False When doing hosted-engine --console, it returns: [root@fuego ~]# hosted-engine --console Command VM.getStats with args {'vmID': '74d2966c-2efa-41f0-a5c3-dd383f690a92'} failed: (code=1, message=Virtual machine does not exist: {'vmId': '74d2966c-2efa-41f0-a5c3-dd383f690a92'}) The engine VM is not on this host It is like the vmID was the old 4.3.10 HostedEngine that doesn't exist anymore. How can I make the new HostedEngine vmID be the good one known by HA and hosts? *I'm afraid to lose the HostedEngine vm when stopping it!* Thank you for your precious help. -- 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

Yep. Your code: cloud_init: custom_script: | host_name: "{{ vm_fqdn }}" user_name: myadmin user_password: <password> write_files: - path: /tmp/setup.sh permissions: '0755' content: | #!/bin/bash echo "$(hostnamectl)" >> /tmp/myhostname.txt Yet, in "custom_script" there is no "host_name" (indentation shows that host_name is part of the custom script, not to mention the "|" character). Try with: cloud_init: host_name: "{{ vm_fqdn }}" user_name: myadmin # I can't find this one in https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/collections/ovirt/ovirt/ovirt_vm_mo… #user_password: <password> root_password: <vaulted_password> custom_script: | write_files: - path: /tmp/setup.sh permissions: '0755' content: | #!/bin/bash echo "$(hostnamectl)" >> /tmp/myhostname.txt Best Regards, Strahil Nikolov В петък, 26 ноември 2021 г., 19:33:16 Гринуич+2, Staniforth, Paul <p.staniforth(a)leedsbeckett.ac.uk> написа: #yiv9174097940 P {margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;}Hi Sina, These should be part of the cloud-init dictionary and are strict about indentation. e.g. from the documentation. - name: Run VM with cloud init ovirt.ovirt.ovirt_vm: name: rhel7 template: rhel7 cluster: Default memory: 1GiB high_availability: true high_availability_priority: 50 # Available from Ansible 2.5 cloud_init: dns_servers: '8.8.8.8 8.8.4.4' nic_boot_protocol: static nic_ip_address: 10.34.60.86 nic_netmask: 255.255.252.0 nic_gateway: 10.34.63.254 nic_name: eth1 host_name: example.com custom_script: | write_files: - content: | Hello, world! path: /tmp/greeting.txt permissions: '0644' user_name: root root_password: super_passwordRegards, Paul S.
