Re: Any plans on oVirt Major release with new feature?
by Alessandro 01 Jun '24

I don’t understand why Oracle isn’t taking the lead seriously. Olvm and oVirt could really be the “new vsphere” for on prem IaaS. Customer are still using VM, thousands of VMs. I am struggling inside my company to try oVirt/olvm alongside vmware but how can we be sure that oVirt/olvm will not disappear in 1 or 2 years? I saw an interview a month ago with storware and Oracle and althogh I understood that Oracle Linux KVM will still be here for many years, I didn’t feel the same for the management part hence the engine which is OLVM. So, the question is for Oracle (which also contribute to oVirt) for how long (how many years) will they support and develop OLVM? I hope to receive an answare. Regards, Alessandro

VM Snapshot tab error Code 500
by doboscsongor＠gmail.com 01 Jun '24

01 Jun '24

Hi everybody, I'm new to the oVirt environment, so I started with a fresh install on two physical servers using a hosted engine scenario. Currently, I have version 4.5.6-1.el8 installed. For storage, I am using FC to access our storage. I have created a test VM for testing purposes where I installed MS Windows Server 2022. On the VM, I installed the guest tools, and everything is working fine except for the snapshots tab. If I don't have any snapshots for the VM, I can view the snapshots tab, but if I create a snapshot, the snapshots tab shows an error: "Error while executing action: A request to the server failed with the following status code: 500." Does anyone have any idea why I am getting this error? Thanks in advance!

Re: [External] : Re: Unable Access VM console VNC

I have had this problem and I solved it today. In my Rocky linux 8 environment I reinstalled one of the servers and it stopped working. I tried doing what our friend indicated by disabling encryption, putting the host into maintenance and reinstalling... but nothing. What solved my problem was adding the firewall rules that were missing on one of my hosts.

oVirt on EL8 derivatives now that CentOS Stream 8 is EOL
by Rik Theys 31 May '24

31 May '24

Hi, To install oVirt on EL8 derivatives, https://www.ovirt.org/download/install_on_rhel.html has instructions on how to disable the extras repo, and configures two repositories from CentOS 8 Stream. Now that CentOS 8 Stream is EOL, what is the procedure to install/update oVirt on EL8 machines? Have the required packages from CentOS Stream 8 been merged in EL8.10? Unfortunately, migrating to CentOS Stream 9 is not an option in our environment as we need SPICE support, which has been dropped in EL9. Regards, Rik -- Rik Theys System Engineer KU Leuven - Dept.

Storage Solution for Ovirt4.5
by Ankit Sharma 30 May '24

30 May '24

Hi Guys, I am using Ovirt4.3 with 5 hosts and SAN for 10 years and now looking for upgrade to it on latest version. Now i want to use server as storage instead of SAN due to economic reasons. So, i have used tgt/target-cli and created LUNs for storage and access through iscsi and everything seems well. Would it be a good solution? Also what could be possible limitation and disadvantage over to SAN box? Thanks. AS

I believe all you should need to do is run engine-setup --offline On Sat, May 25, 2024 at 10:14 AM Bogdan Dumitrescu via Users < users(a)ovirt.org> wrote: > Need some help with the renewal of the ssl certificate (I believe it is a > self-signed cert )that is about to expire in a month, this is a standalone > ovirt engine running software Version:4.3.4.3-1.el7.
