"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.

by Sandro Bonazzola 06 Apr '20

06 Apr '20

oVirt 4.4.0 Beta release is now available for testing The oVirt Project is excited to announce the availability of the beta release of oVirt 4.4.0 for testing, as of March 27th, 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 to 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 which are currently included in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.2 beta. If you want to have a better experience you can test oVirt 4.4.0 Beta on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.2 beta. Known Issues - ovirt-imageio development is still in progress. In this beta you can’t upload images to data domains. You can still copy iso images into the deprecated ISO domain for installing VMs. 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 - 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 or newer * CentOS Linux (or similar) 8.1 or newer This release supports Hypervisor Hosts on x86_64 and ppc64le architectures for: * Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.1 or newer * CentOS Linux (or similar) 8.1 or newer * 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. If you manage more than one oVirt instance, OKD or RDO we also recommend to try ManageIQ <http://manageiq.org/>. In such a case, please be sure to take the qc2 image and not the ova image. Notes: - oVirt Appliance is already available for CentOS Linux 8 - oVirt Node NG is already available for CentOS Linux 8 Additional Resources: * Read more about the oVirt 4.4.0 release highlights: http://www.ovirt.org/release/4.4.0/ * Get more oVirt project updates on Twitter: https://twitter.com/ovirt * Check out the latest project news on the oVirt blog: http://www.ovirt.org/blog/ [1] http://www.ovirt.org/release/4.4.0/ [2] http://resources.ovirt.org/pub/ovirt-4.4-pre/iso/ -- Sandro Bonazzola MANAGER, SOFTWARE ENGINEERING, EMEA R&D RHV Red Hat EMEA <https://www.redhat.com/> sbonazzo(a)redhat.com <https://www.redhat.com/>* <https://www.redhat.com/en/summit?sc_cid=7013a000002D2QxAAK>* *Red Hat respects your work life balance.

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?

Re: oVirt Storage quota problems
by Vrgotic, Marko 06 Apr '20

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. Kindly awaiting your reply. ----- kind regards/met vriendelijke groeten Marko Vrgotic ActiveVideo From: "Staniforth, Paul" <P.Staniforth(a)leedsbeckett.ac.uk> Date: Friday, 13 March 2020 at 18:19 To: "Vrgotic, Marko" <M.Vrgotic(a)activevideo.com>, "users(a)ovirt.org" <users(a)ovirt.org> Cc: Darko Stojchev <D.Stojchev(a)activevideo.com> Subject: Re: oVirt Storage quota problems Sorry haven't used quota in a while, one thought is there a template quota getting used?

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. There may be a way to get ovirt to connect to another ip address instead of the ip domain address for the first host. I'm attaching logs: ----> /var/log/ovirt-engine/engine.log 2020-03-31 09:13:03,866+03 WARN [org.ovirt.engine.core.dal.dbbroker.auditloghan dling.AuditLogDirector] (EE-ManagedThreadFactory-engineScheduled-Thread-90) [7fa128f4] EVENT_ID: VDS_SET_NONOPERATIONAL_DOMAIN(522), Host host2.school34.local c annot access the Storage Domain(s) <UNKNOWN> attached to the Data Center DataCenter.

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
