mount options change
by Jiří Sléžka 01 Sep '21

01 Sep '21

Hi, is there any way to change mount options on active storage? I started using my gluster volume in replica 3, arbiter 1 configuration with 10.0.4.11:/vms mount point and mount options backup-volfile-servers=10.0.4.13 I would like to add also 10.0.4.12 as backup volfile as I am on full replica 3 now. Yes, I suppose I can shut down all vms, switch domain to maintenance and then change mount options but is there any other way? For example change it directly in db and then restart all hosts one by one (while vms are running)? Cheers, Jiri

Re: [External] : Re: about the hugepage setting of the KVM server

I use the ovirt-node, and I configured HUGEPAGE on the VM, and does not configure the HUGEPAGE on the KVM host. The THP I don't configure anything about it, and after configure the HUGEPAGE on the vm, there is no report. I don't know which method is the best.

And if, after enabling/configuring hugepages in the VM, it is reporting hugepages are in use in the host?

Unable to export VM from data storage domain.
by Diggy Mc 01 Sep '21

01 Sep '21

I'm running oVirt 4.4.4 with two data storage domains. One domain is where the production VMs run. The second domain is where I make backup copies of the VMs in the event of problems with the main production VMs. I make backups using the export option from the GUI's dropdown list. I just now tried to "restore" a backup copy via the export function and get an error. In fact, I get errors trying to export (import to my original data domain) any of the VMs that were exported to my backup data domain. My backup domain is a DATA domain and not an EXPORT domain. The exact error is: Export VM Failed [Cannot add VM. Cannot find a disk profile defined on storage domain 246c69e9-6f16-489f-8022-8613f6c1c22a.] Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong? Help is needed urgently. In advance, thank you.

Import OVA problem
by Dominique D 31 Aug '21

31 Aug '21

I have tried exporting 4 VMs (2 centos and 2 Windows) to an nfs mount (export OVA) and importing from ova and I can't see all the files. Here are the files in the directory -rw-------+ 1 root root 10739331584 Aug 29 10:27 linux2.ova -rw-------+ 1 root root 1784370176 Aug 28 12:00 linuxtest.ova -rw-------+ 1 root root 64434655232 Aug 28 13:57 vdiw10-2004v1C.ova -rw-------+ 1 vdsm kvm 49040712192 Aug 27 17:21 vdiw10rg06.ova The only file I see in virtual machine on source is linuxtest.ova and linux2.ova. Do you know why ? ovirt 4.4.6

Re: How to re-import a VM with an invalid timezone?
by Saif Abu Saleh 31 Aug '21

31 Aug '21

Hi, Can you please provide what time-zone the VM you are trying to Import has? if you are trying to import from the OVA you can get the time-zone by going to the host location where the exported OVA exists, open it and check what is the value of the <TimeZone> tag Thanks, Saif From: <hibbsncc1701(a)gmail.com> > Date: Fri, Aug 27, 2021 at 9:27 AM > Subject: [ovirt-users] How to re-import a VM with an invalid timezone? > To: <users(a)ovirt.org> > > > I've just finished my upgrade to oVirt 4.4.8.4, but I've got one > previously working VM that I cannot reimport.

Crash Debugging VDSM Hook
by Jean-Louis Dupond 31 Aug '21

31 Aug '21

Hi All, While debugging some Qemu 6 issue I was requested to remove the error_policy from the libvirt xml. See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1999051#c12 Now to have this working I just wrote some small python hook for VDSM which adjusts the XML before startup. Just added the file in /usr/libexec/vdsm/hooks/before_vm_start: # cat 40_crashtest #!/usr/libexec/platform-python import os import hooking class CrashTestHook(object): def __init__(self): super(CrashTestHook, self).__init__() self.config = {} self.domxml = hooking.read_domxml() def save(self): hooking.write_domxml(self.domxml) def set_error_policy(self): drivers = self.domxml.getElementsByTagName('driver') for driver in drivers: policy = driver.getAttribute('error_policy') if policy == 'stop': driver.removeAttribute('error_policy') def main(self): self.set_error_policy() self.save() if __name__ == "__main__": CrashTestHook().main() # vim: expandtab tabstop=4 shiftwidth=4 Might be usefull if somebody else needs the same thing :) Jean-Louis

oVirt Hosted Engine Offline Deployment
by Andrew Lamarra 30 Aug '21

30 Aug '21

Hi there. I'm trying to get oVirt up & running on a server in a network that has no access to the Internet. We do host mirrors of CentOS 7 & 8 repos (no Stream). I first tried the latest version of oVirt 4.4, however, I ran into an issue when trying to do the Hosted Engine deployment. The command I used was "hosted-engine --deploy --ansible-extra-vars=he_offline_deployment=true". But at some point, I get the following error: [ INFO ] DNF Errors during downloading metadata for repository 'ovirt-4.4-centos-ceph-pacific': - Status code: 404 for http://mirror.centos.org/centos/8-stream/storage/x86_64/ceph-pacific/repoda… [ ERROR ] DNF Failed to download metadata for repo 'ovirt-4.4-centos-ceph-pacific': Cannot download repomd.xml: Cannot download repodata/repomd.xml: All mirrors were tried Seems like it's still trying to download something from the CentOS 8 Stream repo. So I figured that since we have the CentOS 7 repos hosted, I'll try oVirt v4.3. However, I don't see an option to do an "offline deployment" with this version. It says the "--ansible-extra-vars" option is invalid. I tried doing a regular deployment but it tries downloading from the oVirt repo: [ INFO ] TASK [ovirt.hosted_enging_setup : Install ovirt-engine-appliance rpm] [ ERROR ] fatal: [localhost]: FAILED! => ["attempts": 10, "changed": false, "msg": "Failure talking to yum: cannot retrieve metalink for repository: ovirt-4.3-epel/x86_64. Please verify its path and try again"} I can bring over a mirror of the ovirt-4.3 repo. I also see that there's some other repos in the "ovirt-4.3-dependencies.repo" file. Are those required for deploying the hosted engine VM as well? Or does anyone know if there's a way to do this deployment completely offline? Thank you for your time.
