Moving VM disks from one storage domain to another. Automate?
by Green, Jacob Allen /C 08 Oct '20

08 Oct '20

I am looking for an automated way, via Ansible to move a VM disk from one storage domain to another. I found the following, https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/modules/ovirt_disk_module.html and while it mentions copying a VM disk image from one domain to another it does not mention a live storage migration. Which is what I am looking to do. I want to take roughly 100 VMs and move their disk images from one domain to another that is available to the datacenter in some automated/scripted fashion. I am just curious if anyone out there has had to do this and how they tackled it. Or perhaps I am missing some easy obvious way, other than clicking all the disks and clicking move. However from the looks of it, if I did click all the disk and selected move, it appears RHV tries to do them all at once, which is probably not ideal, I would like it to move the disks in a serial One after another fashion, to conserve throughput and IO. I also did not see anything on Ansible galaxy or the ovirt github that would do this. Thank you.

Gluster volume not responding

Hi, Every Monday and Wednesday morning there are gluster connectivity timeouts but all checks of the network and network configs are ok. Description of problem: The following entries were found in the engine.log following VMs becoming unresponsive and hosts fencing. This issue has been causing issues since the beginning of September and no amount of reading logs is helping. This issue occurs every Wednesday morning at exactly the same time.

[ANN] oVirt 4.4.3 Fourth Release Candidate is now available for testing
by Lev Veyde 08 Oct '20

08 Oct '20

oVirt 4.4.3 Fourth Release Candidate is now available for testing The oVirt Project is pleased to announce the availability of oVirt 4.4.3 Fourth Release Candidate for testing, as of October 8th, 2020. This update is the third in a series of stabilization updates to the 4.4 series. How to prevent hosts entering emergency mode after upgrade from oVirt 4.4.1 Note: Upgrading from 4.4.2 GA should not require re-doing these steps, if already performed while upgrading from 4.4.1 to 4.4.2 GA. These are only required to be done once. Due to Bug 1837864 <https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1837864> - Host enter emergency mode after upgrading to latest build If you have your root file system on a multipath device on your hosts you should be aware that after upgrading from 4.4.1 to 4.4.3 you may get your host entering emergency mode. In order to prevent this be sure to upgrade oVirt Engine first, then on your hosts: 1. Remove the current lvm filter while still on 4.4.1, or in emergency mode (if rebooted). 2. Reboot. 3. Upgrade to 4.4.3 (redeploy in case of already being on 4.4.3). 4. Run vdsm-tool config-lvm-filter to confirm there is a new filter in place. 5. Only if not using oVirt Node: - run "dracut --force --add multipath” to rebuild initramfs with the correct filter configuration 6. Reboot. Documentation - If you want to try oVirt as quickly as possible, follow the instructions on the Download <https://ovirt.org/download/> page. - For complete installation, administration, and usage instructions, see the oVirt Documentation <https://ovirt.org/documentation/>. - For upgrading from a previous version, see the oVirt Upgrade Guide <https://ovirt.org/documentation/upgrade_guide/>. - For a general overview of oVirt, see About oVirt <https://ovirt.org/community/about.html>. Important notes before you try it Please note this is a pre-release build. The oVirt Project makes no guarantees as to its suitability or usefulness. This pre-release must not be used in production. Installation instructions For installation instructions and additional information please refer to: https://ovirt.org/documentation/ This release is available now on x86_64 architecture for: * Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.2 or newer * CentOS Linux (or similar) 8.2 or newer This release supports Hypervisor Hosts on x86_64 and ppc64le architectures for: * Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.2 or newer * CentOS Linux (or similar) 8.2 or newer * oVirt Node 4.4 based on CentOS Linux 8.2 (available for x86_64 only) See the release notes [1] for installation instructions and a list of new features and bugs fixed.

engine-setup in 4.4.2 not using yum/dnf proxy?
by Gianluca Cecchi 06 Oct '20

06 Oct '20

Hello, I'm testing upgrade from 4.3.10 to 4.4.2 for a standalone manager with local database environment. I configured the new engine system as a CentOS 8.2 with a proxy in /etc/yum.conf (that is a link to /etc/dnf/dnf.com) and that worked for all the steps until engine-setup.
