Promiscuous Mode
by Anton Louw 31 Aug '20

31 Aug '20

Hi All, I would like to deploy a VM that will monitor a specific network. I know in VMware you can set the port group to allow Promiscuous Mode. Is there something similar I can do in oVirt? Thanks Anton Louw Cloud Engineer: Storage and Virtualization ______________________________________ D: 087 805 1572 | M: N/A A: Rutherford Estate, 1 Scott Street, Waverley, Johannesburg anton.louw(a)voxtelecom.co.za www.vox.co.za

Error exporting into ova

Hosted Engine stuck in Firmware
by Vinícius Ferrão 30 Aug '20

30 Aug '20

Hello, I’ve an strange issue with oVirt 4.4.1 The hosted engine is stuck in the UEFI firmware trying to “never” boot. I think this happened when I changed the default VM mode for the cluster inside the datacenter. There’s a way to fix this without redeploying the engine?

deprecating export domain?
by Charles Kozler 30 Aug '20

30 Aug '20

Hello, I recently read on this list from a redhat member that export domain is either being deprecated or looking at being deprecated To that end, can you share details? Can you share any notes/postings/bz's that document this? I would imagine something like this would be discussed in larger audience This seems like a somewhat significant change to make and I am curious where this is scheduled? Currently, a lot of my backups rely explicitly on an export domain for online snapshots, so I'd like to plan accordingly Thanks!

shutdown virtual machine did not display in the list when using virsh list --all and virsh list --state-shutoff
by Kyre 30 Aug '20

30 Aug '20

Hello, I am using ovirt 4.3.8. I want to use the virsh command to boot the shutdown virtual machine, but when using virsh list --all and virsh list --state-shutoff, the shutdown virtual machine did not display in the list. What is the cause of this, and how can I display the shutdown virtual machine. virsh # list --all Please enter your authentication name: root Please enter your password:  Id    Name                           State ----------------------------------------------------  4     win10E2                  running virsh # list --state-shutoff  Id    Name                           State ----------------------------------------------------

Ovirt Node 4.4.2 Engine Deployment - Notification Settings
by David White 30 Aug '20

30 Aug '20

I finally got oVirt node installed with gluster on a single node. So that's great progress! Once that step was complete... I noticed that the Engine Deployment wizard asks for SMTP settings for where to send notifications. I was kind of surprised that it doesn't allow one to enter any credentials. It looks like this requires an unauthenticated local relay. I don't like that. :) See attached screenshot. Has there been any talk about adding this into the wizard deployment?

Missing model_FLAGS on specific host
by Vinícius Ferrão 28 Aug '20

Hi, I’ve an strange issue in one of my hosts, it’s missing a lot of CPU flags that oVirt seems to require: [root@c4140 ~]# vdsm-client Host getCapabilities | egrep "cpuFlags|cpuModel" "cpuFlags": "ssse3,mca,ept,pdpe1gb,vmx,clwb,smep,msr,acpi,pge,sse4_2,nopl,cqm_mbm_total,cx16,avx512vl,aperfmperf,xsaves,3dnowprefetch,nonstop_tsc,cmov,mce,intel_pt,avx512f,fpu,pku,tsc,sdbg,erms,pse36,md_clear,apic,sse,pcid,clflushopt,xtopology,pts,monitor,vpid,cpuid,hle,mba,ss,cqm,avx2,ibpb,xgetbv1,flush_l1d,mmx,epb,pti,fxsr,dca,nx,syscall,stibp,mtrr,cx8,sse2,avx,sep,intel_ppin,lm,tm,bts,adx,bmi1,smx,popcnt,pclmulqdq,lahf_lm,mpx,rdseed,cqm_llc,avx512cd,cdp_l3,f16c,invpcid,fsgsbase,cpuid_fault,tm2,smap,dts,pse,xsave,sse4_1,constant_tsc,pat,tsc_deadline_timer,vnmi,avx512dq,dtes64,xsaveopt,ida,pdcm,tpr_shadow,pln,de,x2apic,avx512bw,pae,rdrand,clflush,rdtscp,art,cqm_mbm_local,pebs,ssbd,movbe,pbe,tsc_adjust,vme,ht,est,bmi2,cat_l3,dtherm,ospke,rdt_a,aes,ibrs,rep_good,fma,xtpr,ds_cpl,abm,xsavec,invpcid_single,flexpriority,cqm_occup_llc,pni,rtm,arat,arch_perfmon", "cpuModel": "Intel(R) Xeon(R) Gold 6130 CPU @ 2.10GHz", In a properly working host it have flags like those ones: model_Westmere-IBRS,model_kvm32,model_core2duo,model_Opteron_G1,model_Broadwell,model_qemu64,model_Broadwell-noTSX,model_Nehalem-IBRS,model_Haswell-IBRS,model_pentium2,model_Broadwell-IBRS,model_Haswell-noTSX,model_Haswell,model_Haswell-noTSX-IBRS,model_Conroe,model_pentium,model_n270,model_Nehalem,model_IvyBridge-IBRS,model_kvm64,model_SandyBridge,model_pentium3,model_Broadwell-noTSX-IBRS,model_qemu32,model_486,model_IvyBridge,model_SandyBridge-IBRS,model_Westmere,model_Penryn,model_Opteron_G2,model_coreduo", But in this machine it’s totally missing. I know this model_ flags are an oVirt thing, since they aren’t default on the CPUs. The host machine is a Dell C4140 compute node, the firmware is fully updated, so I’ve done the basic to figure out what’s happening. Thanks,

ovirt 4.4 self-hosted deployment questions
by Michael Thomas 28 Aug '20

28 Aug '20

I have not been able to find answers to a couple of questions in the self-hosted engine documentation[1]. * When installing a new Enterprise Linux host for ovirt, what are the network requirements? Specifically, am I supposed to set up the ovirtmgmt bridge myself on new hosts, or am I supposed to let that be handled by the engine when I add the new host to the engine? * In the 'New Host' dialog on the engine management page, does the Hostname/IP that I enter have to be the host's name on the ovirtmgmt LAN? If so, then it seems to me that I need to configure the ovirtmgmt bridge myself on new hosts. * Does the engine need to be able to route outside of the cluster (eg to the WAN), or is it allowed to restrict the engine's routing to the local cluster? * In the 'New Host' dialog on the engine management page, what is the meaning of 'Choose hosted engine deployment action'? From the way it is phrased, it sounds like this will create a second engine in my cluster, which doesn't make sense. Or does this mean that the new host will be able to run the Engine VM in a HA manner? In my current test deployment I have 3 subnets in my cluster. Network WAN is the WAN. Network CLUSTER is for communication between cluster compute nodes, storage servers, and management servers. Network OVIRT is for ovirt management and VM migration between hosts. My first self-hosted engine host is connected to networks CLUSTER and OVIRT. The engine VM is only connected to network OVIRT through a bridge on the host, but has a gateway that lets it route traffic to network CLUSTER (but not network WAN). Is this an appropriate network setup for ovirt, or should there be no distinction between the CLUSTER and OVIRT networks? --Mike [1]https://www.ovirt.org/documentation/installing_ovirt_as_a_self-hosted_eng…

Gluster Volume Type Distributed

Hi Everyone, I would like to use Distrbuted Volume type but the volume type is Gray out. I can only use the replicate type. It's normal ? 3 ovirt Servers 4.4.1-2020080418 Can I configure a replicate volume for the engine domain and Distributed for the data domain?
