Re: How to switch oVirt from Cockpit from RHEL9?
by Ruber van der Linden 20 Aug '24

20 Aug '24

Cockpit is a control panel for server management. The virtualization is only a part of it. You can have both Cockpit and oVirt installed on the same server, as they serve for different purposes. If you already use KVM and have any VM running, installing oVirt over it may cause some trouble. I suggest starting with a clean server using the self hosted engine.

Best way to shutdown ovirt-engine.
by 1990w＠naver.com 17 Aug '24

17 Aug '24

Hi all, Ovirt-engine was configured as vm. There is a problem because Ovirt-engine's resources are too small. So I'm going to add resources after I shutdown Ovirt-engine. What is the best way to shut down Ovirt-engine? Is it okay to stop engine service and shutdown vm?

VM frozen during snapshot removing
by Kalil de A. Carvalho 14 Aug '24

14 Aug '24

Hello all. In my company we have a oVirt 4.5.4-1.el9 running and a Vinchin Backup & Recovery 8.0 as a backup solution. A strange situation. Same VM's stopping working, frozen, when the snaphost it is been removing. And when this happened we must kill the process directly in the host because we can't do this on oVirt web management. I just found some information on message log, notting on vdsm or libvirt logs. Here what is in the message log: Aug 13 21:49:26 HOST libvirtd[5304]: Cannot start job (modify, none, none) in API remoteDispatchDomainSetSchedulerParameters for domain VM; current job is (query, none, none) owned by (5332 remoteDispatchConnectGetAllDomainStats, 0 <null>, 0 <null> (flags=0x0)) for (45s, 0s, 0s) Aug 13 21:49:56 HOST libvirtd[5304]: Cannot start job (modify, none, none) in API remoteDispatchDomainSetSchedulerParameters for domain VM; current job is (query, none, none) owned by (5332 remoteDispatchConnectGetAllDomainStats, 0 <null>, 0 <null> (flags=0x0)) for (75s, 0s, 0s) Has anyone passed for this situation? Bast regards. -- Atenciosamente, Kalil de A. Carvalho

moving VMs from old oVirt to new
by Diggy Mc 14 Aug '24

14 Aug '24

Since export domains have been deprecated starting with oVirt v4.4, what is the preferred/best method for moving VMs from an old oVirt environment into a new oVirt environment? The two environments are totally independent of each other and therefore need an intermediary.

VM start order
by Sergei Panchenko 13 Aug '24

13 Aug '24

Good morning! Is there any way to configure VM start order? For example, I would like to make it so VM3 starts only after VM2 starts and VM2 starts only after VM1 starts. I know about run/migrate priority, but it is the other scenario.

REST API query events by Date/Time
by itsavant＠gmail.com 13 Aug '24

13 Aug '24

After looking through all the documentation here: https://ovirt.github.io/ovirt-engine-api-model/4.5 I don't see a way to query the REAST API for events GET /ovirt-engine/api/events;from={event_id}?search={query} by datetime Any ideas would be great. Also bonus question I do see that I can query by a set of objects (like cluster, data_center, storage_domain, etc) like this: GET "ovirt-engine/api/events?search=$($Item)%3D$($SearchText)" however searching by "host" kicks out an error, I'm wondering if there is a code error in the DB or the REST engine. Thoughts?

Linux virtual desktop get reboot if we migrate from 1 ovhost to another ovhost inside Ovirt 4.4 cluster
by aprameyan a.r 06 Aug '24

06 Aug '24

Hello All, we have Ovirt 4.4 cluster running with 25 OVHOST servers handling 800+ users' Virtual desktops. - All users VDT are running with CentOS OS. - before we were using CentOS for the OVHOST server as we don't have support, now we are using ALMA8.6 for the base OS & updating Ovirt 4.4 packages. - now we are seeing a new issue if we migrate any user's VDT between the OVHOSt server. user VDT is rebooting & coming up on the new server.. Let us know if anyone is seeing this kind of issue on the Ovirt cluster.

Unable to add logical interface
by Jeremy Tourville 30 Jul '24

30 Jul '24

List: I have a single host that was added to my cluster and operational. My management engine is running in a separate, dedicated pc. When making some network changes and testing them, I made the mistake of removing the virtual interface using nmtui on the host. Now when I try to add the logical network to the host again, I get an error message: "Operation cancelled Error while executing action: Cannot setup Networks. Operation can be performed only when Host status is Maintenance, Up, Non-Operational." My host is configured so that: Eth0 is ovirtmgmt Eth1 is storage The system is hyperconverged. I am getting the correct IP/subnets on each NIC. What do I need to do to add the logical network back to the host?

Recommendation for iSCSI configuration
by De Lee 30 Jul '24

30 Jul '24

Hi, I'm currently running the platform with following version and facing the issue with iSCSI timeout issue during the network switch maintenance. oVirt Version 4.5 oVirt manager : Redhat 9.0 oVirt node : Rocky 9.4 Here's a drawing of the topology: +---------------+ | Storage | +---------------+ 192.168.11.2 | | 192.168.11.1 | | 10GbE Links | | +---------------+ +---------------+ | Nexus 5k #1 | | Nexus 5k #2 | +---------------+ +---------------+ 192.168.11.3 | | 192.168.11.4 | | 10GbE Links | | +---------------+ | oVirt 4.5 | +---------------+ VLANx: 192.168.11.3/28 VLANx: 192.168.11.4/28 I've configured the oVirt nodes without bonding,it works like one NIC assigned with vLANX with IP .3 and another NIC assigned with vLANX with IP .4. I could see actively only NIC is utilizing the iSCSI traffic(without ISCSI Bond). I would like to utilize both NIC traffic Active-Active mode what is the topology to follow? [iSCSI in LACP is not recommended for iscsi traffic which read from blog].Correct me if I'm wrong. When actively used NIC connected switch reboot,the iscsi traffic which over to another nic takes almost 30 seconds.Can I reduce the failover of NIC timing from 30 seconds to 3 seconds something like that? I don't see the lapsed timeout behaviour in CentOS 8 but rocky9 behaviors differently. Any suggestions or recommendation?

Why all environment fall if one storage domain going down?
by Kalil de A. Carvalho 29 Jul '24

29 Jul '24

Hello all. Can any one tell me why all environment fall if we lost one domain storage? In my company we have many NFS storages and if just one going down, been rebooted, all host fail. What we realized, I do not know if it is true, is if one host can´t communicate with the storage it will be rebooted or if the use of memory is too high it will be rebooted too. Are those two impressions real? Best regards -- Atenciosamente, Kalil de A. Carvalho

Problem with OVF and Bad Volume Specification
by Nur Imam Febrianto 24 Jul '24

24 Jul '24

Hi, Recently we are migrating our existing VM from Existing oVirt cluster, to new oVirt cluster (using el9) and Oracle OLVM. But we have this strange issue, after detaching storage domain, and then attaching the storage domain in new cluster, VM Impor tdoesnt shows up any vm that are located on this storage domain. In Disk Import, it shows a lot of disk with no aliases at all, and after we do trial and error with our disk, several disk are missing at all, no trace and no whereabout. After further investigation, OVF_STORE only contains 2 VM definition, not all the VM, and it guts truncated whenever we try to extract it using TAR. Update OVF doesnt help at all too. Anybody got any idea how to prevent or solve this ? We still have 3 storage domain and afraid the same thing will happened again. Thanks before.

Help with Storage Domain Configuration in oVirt
by Maria Jonas 23 Jul '24

23 Jul '24

Hi everyone, I am setting up a new storage domain in oVirt and running into a bit of trouble. I’ve followed the setup guide but the storage domain isn’t showing up in the “Storage” section of the admin portal... Here’s what I’ve done so far::- -Created the storage domain in the setup wizard. -Checked network connections and permissions. -Verified that the storage is correctly formatted and accessible. Is there something I might have missed, or any common issues with storage domain configurations: ?? Any advice or troubleshooting tips would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Problem with Glusterfs Distributed-Replicated volume almost full but only less than 50% used by files.
by Olivier 22 Jul '24

22 Jul '24

Hi, I have a weird problem with my couple Glusterfs-oVirt: I had two data domain for my VMs on oVirt. The main one (data) is a Distributed-Replicate with 2 x 3 = 6 bricks of ~ 1,4 Tb on 3 servers (2 bricks by server). It was an extend of a previous 1 x 3 = 3 Replicated volume on the same servers. I had one new disk (and one new brick) on each of these 3 servers. My concern is the reported use of this volume (almost 100%). a df -h give me : df -h . Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on ovirt1.pmmg.priv:/data 3.4T 3.3T 84G 98% /rhev/data-center/mnt/glusterSD/ovirt1.pmmg.priv:_data but a du of the same partition give me : du -hs /rhev/data-center/mnt/glusterSD/ovirt1.pmmg.priv:_data 1.4T /rhev/data-center/mnt/glusterSD/ovirt1.pmmg.priv:_data and there no hidden folder I could miss in this mount point. The weird point (the second one) is when I delete a VMs and is disks (main disk and snapshot) I doesn't get back some space on these volume. Does anyone have an idea of these problem ?

Re: HostedEngine migration fail

Yes, I have only the gold crown on the host where the hosted engine is running. On the second host, there is no crown; that field is empty. When I installed it, I deployed the hosted engine on the host where I have the gold crown. After this step, I created the cluster and added the second host. Do I need to perform any additional steps every time I add a new host to the cluster to be able to migrate the hosted engine VM?

fence_rhevm with oVirt >4.5
by justindavis＠mail.utexas.edu 18 Jul '24

18 Jul '24

Hello Folks Is the "fence_rhevm" package compatible with oVirt >4.5? We're converting our legacy RHV cluster to a new install of oVirt latest with NFS backed storage. Everything has been working smoothly with the exception of the RHV-M fencing device on this newly provisioned oVirt 4.5.7 cluster with RHEL 9.4 hosts -- I haven't been able to get authentication working between the fencing device and the manager appliance. The same configuration is working on both the legacy RHV 4.4 cluster (RHV nodes) and a test oVirt 4.5.6 cluster (RHEL 8.9 hosts). The primary difference that comes to mind between my test and new cluster is that the newest one was installed with Keycloak SSO default configs while it was disabled on the older test environment. I suspect it has something to do with dropping basic auth? Assuming this is the case, can Keycloak be removed without having to rebuild the cluster? Are there any significant drawbacks to disabling it? I've found docs for converting from AAA to Keycloak, but not the reverse. I see on the mailing list that the `ovirt-aaa-jdbc-tool` is deprecated and that Keycloak is strongly recommended moving forward -- is it possible to integrate an internal Keycloak implementation with the existing "fence_rhevm" package? The errors I'm seeing are: 401 Unauthorized This server could not verify that you are authorized to access the document requested. Either you supplied the wrong credentials (e.g., bad password), or your browser doesn't understand how to supply the credentials required. I've tried every variation of the <domain> value suggested -- including "admin@internal", "admin@ovirt@internal", "@admin@ovirt@internal-authz" Thanks in advance, Justin

Network issue - self-hosted engine on a single host
by jakov.jelinic＠adriatic.hr 16 Jul '24

16 Jul '24

Hi, I'm confused about installing ovirt as a self-hosted engine on a single host with local storage. I have one server which I have connected to 2 switches (which are in "Cisco stack"). I have connected the server with 2 UTP cables in master switch and 2 UTP cables in slave. I have installed on server Rocky Linux 9.4. And now i have 4 network interfaces (4 ip addresses) which i can ping from my computer. After that I installed ovirt engine 4.5.6-1.el9 with the next commands: > dnf install centos-release-ovirt45 > dnf install ovirt-engine > engine-setup Next step, I want to add a new host through my engine (Compute -> Hosts -> New). I started installing a new host. I choose my hostname to be my one and only server. After installation, I can no longer connect to my server: https://vhost01.testing.local/ovirt-engine/ because the ip address behind the dns name can no longer be pinged. Out of my 4 IP addresses, I can now ping only one from my computer. And then, of course, I change the DNS record and set it to that one-onlyworking IP address. So I think after adding the host my network is messed up. It even makes sense to me since everything is done on one host, and it seems to me that if I had separated the engine, it would not have these problems. This was my network before adding new host: ens13f0np0: connected to ens13f0np0 "Broadcom and subsidiaries BCM57454 NetXtreme-E 10Gb/25Gb/40Gb/50Gb/100Gb" ethernet (bnxt_en), 14:23:F2:5A:B8:E4, hw, mtu 1500 ip4 default inet4 192.168.50.60/24 route4 192.168.50.0/24 metric 100 route4 default via 192.168.50.2 metric 100 inet6 fe80::1623:f2ff:fe5a:b8e4/64 route6 fe80::/64 metric 1024 ens13flnpl: connected to ens13flnpl "Broadcom and subsidiaries BCM57454 NetXtreme-E 10Gb/25Gb/40Gb/50Gb/100Gb" ethernet (bnxt_en), 14:23:F2:5A:B8:E5, hw, mtu 1500 inet4 192.168.50.54/24 route4 192.168.50.0/24 metric 101 route4 default via 192.168.50.2 metric 101 inet6 fe80::1623:f2ff:fe5a:b8e5/64 route6 fe80::/64 metric 1024 ens13f2np2: connected to ens13f2np2 "Broadcom and subsidiaries BCM57454 NetXtreme-E 10Gb/25Gb/40Gb/50Gb/100Gb" ethernet (bnxt_en), 14:23:F2:5A:B8:E6, hw, mtu 1500 inet4 192.168.50.78/24 route4 192.168.50.0/24 metric 102 route4 default via 192.168.50.2 metric 102 inet6 fe80::1623:f2ff:fe5a:b8e6/64 route6 fe80::/64 metric 1024 ens13f3np3: connected to ens13f3np3 "Broadcom and subsidiaries BCM57454 NetXtreme-E 10Gb/25Gb/40Gb/50Gb/100Gb" ethernet (bnxt_en), 14:23:F2:5A:B8: E7, hw, mtu 1500 inet4 192.168.50.109/24 route4 192.168.50.0/24 metric 103 route4 default via 192.168.50.2 metric 103 inet6 fe80::1623:f2ff:fe5a:b8e7/64 route6 fe80::/64 metric 1024 lo: connected (externally) to lo "10" loopback (unknown), 00:00:00:00:00:00, sw, mtu 65536 inet4 127.0.0.1/8 inet6 ::1/128 route6:1/128 metric 256 virbro: connected (externally) to virbro "virbro" bridge, 52:54:00:11:F7:8C, sw, mtu 1500 inet4 192.168.122.1/24 route4 192.168.122.0/24 metric 0 and this is after adding new host: ens13f1np1: connected to ens13f1np1 "Broadcom and subsidiaries BCM57454 NetXtreme-E 10Gb/25Gb/40Gb/50Gb/100Gb" ethernet (bnxt_en), 14:23:F2:5A:B8:E5, hw, mtu 1500 ip4 default inet4 192.168.50.54/24 route4 192.168.50.0/24 metric 100 route4 default via 192.168.50.2 metric 100 inet6 fe80::1623:f2ff:fe5a:b8e5/64 route6 fe80::/64 metric 1024 ovirtmgmt: connected to ovirtmgmt "ovirtmgmt" bridge, 14:23:F2:5A:B8:E4, sw, mtu 1500 inet4 192.168.50.60/24 route4 192.168.50.0/24 metric 425 inet6 fe80::1623:f2ff:fe5a:b8e4/64 route6 fe80::/64 metric 1024 ens13f2np2: connected to ens13f2np2 "Broadcom and subsidiaries BCM57454 NetXtreme-E 10Gb/25Gb/40Gb/50Gb/100Gb" ethernet (bnxt_en), 14:23:F2:5A:B8:E6, hw, mtu 1500 inet4 192.168.50.78/24 route4 192.168.50.0/24 metric 101 route4 default via 192.168.50.2 metric 101 inet6 fe80::1623:f2ff:fe5a:b8e6/64 route6 fe80::/64 metric 1024 ens13f3np3: connected to ens13f3np3 "Broadcom and subsidiaries BCM57454 NetXtreme-E 10Gb/25Gb/40Gb/50Gb/100Gb" ethernet (bnxt_en), 14:23:F2:5A:B8:E7, hw, mtu 1500 inet4 192.168.50.109/24 route4 192.168.50.0/24 metric 102 route4 default via 192.168.50.2 metric 102 inet6 fe80::1623:f2ff:fe5a:b8e7/64 route6 fe80::/64 metric 1024 ens13f0np0: connected to ens13f0np0 "Broadcom and subsidiaries BCM57454 NetXtreme-E 10Gb/25Gb/40Gb/50Gb/100Gb" ethernet (bnxt_en), 14:23:F2:5A:B8:E4, hw, mtu 1500 master ovirtmgmt lo: connected (externally) to lo "lo" loopback (unknown), 00:00:00:00:00:00, sw, mtu 65536 inet4 127.0.0.1/8 inet6 ::1/128 route6 ::1/128 metric 256 br-int: disconnected "br-int" ovs-interface (openvswitch), 12:47:1C:18:8F:E2, sw, mtu 1500 Can you plese help?

HostedEngine migration fail
by doboscsongor＠gmail.com 16 Jul '24

16 Jul '24

Hi, I have two hosts in one cluster, where the hosts are exactly the same physical servers. The migration of virtual machines works fine, but I can't migrate the hosted engine VM. When I try to migrate it to the second host/server, the "Destination host" field in the migration pop-up window shows "No available host to migrate VMs to." However, if I try to migrate any other running VMs, the field becomes active and I can choose the second host/server. Screenshot: https://i.postimg.cc/YCnddhs1/ovirt.jpg Server software information: - OS Version: RHEL - 9.1.2206.0 - 23.el9 - OS Description: oVirt Node 4.5.5 - Kernel Version: 5.14.0 - 388.el9.x86_64 - KVM Version: 8.1.0 - 4.el9 - LIBVIRT Version: libvirt-9.5.0-6.el9 - VDSM Version: vdsm-4.50.5.1-1.el9 Thanks in advance!

[Self-hosted engine] Change port for web portal
by junhoyu＠beamworks.co.kr 16 Jul '24

16 Jul '24

Hi everyone, I've installed oVirt (specifically Oracle Linux Virtualization Manager v.4.5) on my server using the Self-Hosted Deployment method. However, my server is in an environment where using well-known ports is restricted. Therefore, I need to reconfigure the ports for the web portal, which currently uses ports 80 and 443, so that I can access the web portal through the browser. I tried the following two methods: === Method 1 === During installation, I prepared an answer file (/root/answers.conf) with the following configurations: OVESETUP_CONFIG/publicHttpPort=int:2416 OVESETUP_CONFIG/publicHttpsPort=int:5281 OVESETUP_CONFIG/httpPort=int:2416 OVESETUP_CONFIG/httpsPort=int:5281 Then, I executed 'hosted-engine --deploy --4 --config-append=/root/answers.conf'. However, this did not change the ports. === Method 2 === After installation, I modified the firewalld service files (ovirt-http.xml, ovirt-https.xml), httpd configuration files (httpd.conf, conf.d/ssl.conf), and engine configuration files (engine.conf.d/10-setup-portocols.conf, 11-setup-sso.conf). This worked, but the 'hosted-engine --vm-status' command contains the following issue: Engine status : {"vm": "up", "health": "bad", "detail": "Up", "reason": "failed liveliness check"} It seems to be caused by the health check to the web portal. (https://{engine_fqdn}/ovirt-engine/services/health -> the health-check process does not modify the port in this URL) ====== So, I will solve it with aspects related to the two questions below. 1) Is there a way to change the engine health-check URL during or after installation? 2) Is there a way to configure ports globally related to oVirt? I hope you guys can provide solutions. Thanks. Best regards, Junho Yu

Start VM with option -machine smm=off
by Kalil de A. Carvalho 16 Jul '24

16 Jul '24

Hello all. I'm trying to workaround the problem reported here: https://gitlab.com/qemu-project/qemu/-/issues/1198 but I did not find out how to start up the VM with the option -machine smm=off like sead on the lsit above. I guess that it is possible to run the command using the qemu command but I think that I will lose the management of it. It is possible to startup up a VM with this option using the oVirt GUI ou virsh? Best regards -- Atenciosamente, Kalil de A. Carvalho

hi, today i tried to add new hypervisor - rocky 9.4 ovirt engine - 4.5 ovirtmgmt iface is not functional when i try add host to cluster it exist for while (seconds) but then i see message "ovirtmgmt: port 1(eno3) entered disabled state" and ovirtmgmt iface is gone and network is unreacheable i have working hypervisors based on rocky 9.3 i tried downgrade nmstate to version from 9.3 dnf downgrade https://dl.rockylinux.org/vault/rocky/9.3/AppStream/x86_64/os/Packages/p/py… https://dl.rockylinux.org/vault/rocky/9.3/AppStream/x86_64/os/Packages/n/nm… https://dl.rockylinux.org/vault/rocky/9.3/AppStream/x86_64/os/Packages/n/nm… any ideas/tips howto debug ovirmgmt iface creation process?

Failed to configure management network on the host.

RHEL9 (KVM server) cannot be added from oVirt Engine built on centos9 stream. The oVirt management NW and the RHEL9 (KVM server) management NW are in the same segment and are in an environment where they can resolve each other's names. I'm new to oVirt, so I'd appreciate it if you could explain it in an easy-to-understand manner.

Whoops, sent before I finished replying- I'll look into first trying the Nightly, to see if that has the same behavior, and then trying the _setupAuth patching et. al. to see if I can narrow down what might be happening here.

This means that: At STAGE_MISC, _misc calls _setupAuth, which creates this file, and then it calls _setupAdminUser which tries to use it. Latter fails, and engine-setup rolls back the MAIN_TRANSACTION, including removing the file. I'd start debugging this issue by: 1. Patching _setupAuth to wait (e.g. using dialog.queryBoolean, search the source for examples) after it creates the file, so that I can investigate it 2. Patching _setupAdminUser to wait after it runs the tool, so that I can try to investigate the failure - e.g. run it myself under strace, if the existing logging is not enough. You can try using the otopi plugin wait_on_error for this, instead of patching. Good luck and best regards, -- Didi -- Didi

Hello After updating a hypervisor with qemu-kvm-9.0.0-4.el9.x86_64 live migration stopped working with errors related to the cpu topology. When I downgraded to qemu-kvm-9.0.0-3.el9.x86_64 migration worked again. Is this a known bug? Has anyone else encountered this?

vm stays locked after failed export
by h aanst 10 Jul '24

10 Jul '24

Hi, Running ovirt for many years, but this baffles me. An export was taking too long, seems to hang. Due to the heat a switch failedt, so export storage is umounted, at this time. Now my VM has a little lock, and can't be restarted. (shutdown worked) Checked all DB entries and vdsm. update vm_static set template_status = 0 where template_status = 1; select * from vm_static where template_status = 1; 0 update vm_dynamic set status = 0 where status = 15; select * from vm_dynamic where status = 15; 0 update images set imagestatus = 1 where imagestatus = 2; select * from images where imagestatus = 2; 0 update snapshots set status = 'OK' where status like 'LOCKED'; select * from snapshots where status like 'LOCKED'; 0 UPDATE images SET imagestatus = 1 WHERE imagestatus = 4; select * from images where imagestatus = 4; 0 restarted the hosted-engine I dont know what to check next. Any hints? thanks

CentOS9 Stream -- Only way forward?
by eshwayri＠gmail.com 10 Jul '24

10 Jul '24

I've been running 4.5.4-1 on RHEL8 for a while now; been running fine for my needs. I was getting around the unholy dependency issue caused by the centos-release package conflicting with the redhat-release package by upgrading everything else -- not it. It's been necessary to do this since RHEL versions were higher than any CentOS 8 Stream versions. This time round since CentOS has been archived, I made sure to install anything I hadn't and then manually purged centos-release from the rpm database. This allowed RHEL to update to 8.10, including the release package this time. Not expecting an issue since there won't be any future patches coming from that repo. If I decide to stick with oVirt and install daily snapshots, I assume what I will have to do is setup a new CentOS Steam 9 server, create a backup of the old server, and then restore on the new server. Like what I did when I was forced to migrate from CentOS 8 to RHEL8 (with CentOS 8 Stream packages). Is this right? I haven't decided if I want to do this. CentOS Stream 9 is supported until mid 2027; RHEL 8.10 is supported until mid 2029. Barring any new features or major incompatibility, I really don't see a pressing reason to do this. In fact, with no one stepping in to take over the project, there is a better chance of being supported by sticking with RHEL 8.10 (2+ years).
