how to test incremental backup in 4.4
by Gianluca Cecchi 10 Jun '20

10 Jun '20

Hello, going to test incremental backup in 4.4. Is this page the updated one to use: https://www.ovirt.org/develop/release-management/features/storage/increment… ? Is there already any ansible module/role ongoing to support it? Thanks, Gianluca

What happens when shared storage is down?
by Vinícius Ferrão 10 Jun '20

10 Jun '20

Hello, This is a pretty vague and difficult question to answer. But what happens if the shared storage holding the VMs is down or unavailable for a period of time? I’m aware that a longer timeout may put the VMs on pause state, but how this is handled? Is it a time limit? Requests limit? Who manages this? In an event of self recovery of the storage backend what happens next? Manual intervention is required? The VMs may be down or they just continue to run? It depends on the guest OS running like in XenServer where different scenarios may happen? I’ve looked here: https://www.ovirt.org/documentation/admin-guide/chap-Storage.html but there’s nothing that goes about this question. Thanks, Sent from my iPhone

First ovirt 4.4 installation failing
by wart＠caltech.edu 09 Jun '20

09 Jun '20

I'm having some trouble setting up my first oVirt system. I have the CentOS 8 installation on the bare metal (ovirt1.ldas.ligo-la.caltech.edu) the ovirt4.4 packages installed, and then try running 'hosted-engine --deploy' to set up my engine (ovirt-engine1.ldas.ligo-la.caltech.edu) For this initial deployment, I accept almost all of the defaults (other than local network-specific settings). However, the hosted-engine deployment fails with: [ INFO ] TASK [ovirt.hosted_engine_setup : Obtain SSO token using username/pass word credentials] [ INFO ] ok: [localhost] [ INFO ] TASK [ovirt.hosted_engine_setup : Wait for the host to be up] [ ERROR ] fatal: [localhost]: FAILED! => {"attempts": 120, "changed": false, "ov irt_hosts": []} [...cleanup...] [ INFO ] TASK [ovirt.hosted_engine_setup : Notify the user about a failure] [ ERROR ] fatal: [localhost]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "msg": "The system may not be provisioned according to the playbook results: please check the logs for the issue, fix accordingly or re-deploy from scratch.\n"} However, when I run 'virsh list', I can still see a HostedEngine1 vm running.

Global Maintenance
by Anton Louw 09 Jun '20

09 Jun '20

Hi Everybody, Just a bit of background. A couple of weeks back I moved my self-hosted engine to a standalone manager. Everything went smooth, my environment is up and running without any issues. Just one thing, when I want to reconfigure settings on my self-hosted engine, it says: "It seems that you are running your engine inside of the hosted-engine VM and are not in "Global Maintenance" mode" When trying to enable global maintenance from my node, I also get the below: "Cannot connect to the HA daemon, please check the logs" Is there something I missed when I moved my self-hosted engine to a standalone manager?

Upgrade from 4.3.7 to 4.4 report (through scratch reinstall)
by Gianluca Cecchi 09 Jun '20

09 Jun '20

Just to give a report of final success updating from 4.3.7 to 4.4 one of my home labs, composed by a single host. hw: Intel NUC6i5SY with 32G of ram and 2 SSD disks (250Gb and 500Gb) source sw: oVirt 4.3.7 single host with CentOS 7 OS and storage provided through the host itself via NFS (not officially supported, but working, apart when shutdown needed) Two main VMs to migrate to the new environment: Fedora 30 and Slackware Current (just to not forget the first love... ;-) Exported the VMs to an export storage domain offered through an external USB disk dest sw: oVirt node ng 4.4 configured with HCI single host wizard. Installed on the 250Gb disk. I pre-clean the disks (dd of the first 100Mb of the disks) before install, because during the beta/rc phase I noticed the installer was not so smart to cleanup pre-existing configurations. I had problems in the first run, but with engine cleanup and redeploying it went ok. See here for more details: https://lists.ovirt.org/archives/list/users@ovirt.org/thread/6QODLB6J5Z74YC… I configured the gluster domains in the wizard on the whole second disk. I then imported the 2 VMs without problems. Before starting them up I changed their inherited "BIOS Type" from Legacy to "Default Cluster" and they both started without any problem. While in 4.4 I was able to update Fedora VM from 30 to 31 and then 32 and also refresh the slackware-current one that was about a month behind from latest current. With "Default Cluster" BIOS type the VMs start with the following options: " -machine pc-q35-rhel8.1.0,accel=kvm,usb=off,dump-guest-core=off -cpu Broadwell-noTSX" I was then able to download a CentOS 8 cloud image from the predefined ovirt-image-repository storage domain and convert it to template. Created a VM from this template and cloud-init was able to inject the ssh public key and set timezone. Changed cluster type of ths VM to Default as above with a warning from oVirt but without any problem inside the VM and also changed the disk type from virtio to virtio-scsi without problems. Now I enabled incremental backup at engine level and also at disk level of this CentOS 8 VM so that I can make some tests in this regard. Also, I was able to successfully test the ovirt-ansible-shutdown-env ansible role to make a clean overall shutdown of the environment, one of the things that in my previous unsupported setup was a little cumbersome. Right after install I noticed that in CentOS 8 ovirt-node-ng setup, intel_pstate was the default scaling driver setup, but my cpu was almost always crying with core at 2.6Ghz (and temp around 90 degrees) even if attempted to setup conservative profiles and without nothing running, apart engine VM. The NUC is under my working day table and I don't need always performance from it... So I modified (notice also the rhgb and quite omissions...) these files and reboot: - /etc/default/grub GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX='crashkernel=auto resume=/dev/mapper/onn-swap rd.lvm.lv=onn/ovirt-node-ng-4.4.0-0.20200521.0+1 rd.lvm.lv=onn/swap intel_pstate=disable' - /boot/grub2/grub.cfg set default_kernelopts="root=UUID=85212719-8feb-43aa-9819-2820d4672795 ro crashkernel=auto ipv6.disable=1 intel_pstate=disable " - /boot/loader/entries/ovirt-node-ng-4.4.0-0.20200521.0+1-4.18.0-147.8.1.el8_1.x86_64.conf options intel_pstate=disable boot=UUID=b717ab4f-ca71-469a-8836-ff92cebc7650 crashkernel=auto rd.lvm.lv=onn/swap root=/dev/onn/ovirt-node-ng-4.4.0-0.20200521.0+1 resume=/dev/mapper/onn-swap rootflags=discard rd.lvm.lv=onn/ovirt-node-ng-4.4.0-0.20200521.0+1 img.bootid=ovirt-node-ng-4.4.0-0.20200521.0+1 null - /boot/efi/EFI/centos/grub.cfg set default_kernelopts="root=/dev/mapper/onn-root ro crashkernel=auto resume=/dev/mapper/onn-swap rd.lvm.lv=onn/root rd.lvm.lv=onn/swap intel_pstate=disable " And now with the default/old scaling driver all is quite silent and still working ok for my needs, with web admin quite usable. I updated my two VMs as described above after cpompleting these changes. Right now for example I have hosted engine running + slackware one + CentOS 8 one with [root@ovirt01 ~]# cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep Hz model name : Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-6260U CPU @ 1.80GHz cpu MHz : 648.431 model name : Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-6260U CPU @ 1.80GHz cpu MHz : 628.307 model name : Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-6260U CPU @ 1.80GHz cpu MHz : 648.859 model name : Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-6260U CPU @ 1.80GHz cpu MHz : 663.792 [root@ovirt01 ~]# and [root@ovirt01 ~# cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_governor powersave powersave powersave powersave [root@ovirt01 g.cecchi]# Thanks to all that helped throughout ...

oVirt 4.3 and cinderlib integration (for ceph) on CentOS 7 - centos-release-openstack-pike
by Mathias Schwenke 08 Jun '20

08 Jun '20

At https://www.ovirt.org/develop/release-management/features/storage/cinderlib… ist described the cinderlib integration into oVirt: Installation: - install centos-release-openstack-pike on engine and all hosts - install openstack-cinder and python-pip on engine - pip install cinderlib on engine - install python2-os-brick on all hosts - install ceph-common on engine and on all hosts Which software versions do you use on CentOS 7 whith oVirt 4.3.10? The package centos-release-openstack-pike, as described at the above-mentioned Managed Block Storage feature page, doesn't exist anymore in the CentOS repositories, so I have to switch to centos-release-openstack-queens or newer (rocky, stein, train). So I get (for using with ceph luminous 12): - openstack-cinder 12.0.10 - cinderlib 1.0.1 - ceph-common 12.2.11 - python2-os-brick 2.3.9

migration
by eevans＠digitaldatatechs.com 08 Jun '20

08 Jun '20

I am running Ovirt 4.310. When I update the engine server it updates the user extensions to ovirt-engine-ui-extensions.noarch 0:1.0.13-1.20200303git3b594b8.el7 and migration fails. I have to downgrade to ovirt-engine-ui-extensions-1.0.10-1.el7.noarch.rpm inorder to get migration to work again. This needs to be passed on to the developers to correct the updated version. Also, I had to download ovirt-engine-ui-extensions-1.0.10-1.el7.noarch.rpm and run yum downgrade ovirt-engine-ui-extensions-1.0.10-1.el7.noarch.rpm for the downgrade to complete successfully. After the downgrade, migration works.

clean of .shard files if changing volume settings
by Gianluca Cecchi 08 Jun '20

08 Jun '20

Hello, I have a single host in 4.4 with HCI and Gluster. I have only one brick for the volume and I disabled sharding: [root@ovirt01 /root]# gluster volume set data features.shard off volume set: success [root@ovirt01 /root]# In events of web admin I see it registered and updating db: Detected change in value of option features.shard from on to off on volume data of cluster Default, and updated it to engine DB. 6/3/206:46:52 PM Then I delete a VM with a 65Gb disk, that I created while sharding was enabled (I enabled the check box to remove disks) but it seems that files under .shard are not removed. [root@ovirt01 ~]# du -sh /rhev/data-center/mnt/glusterSD/ovirt01st.lutwyn.storage\:_data/.shard/ 62G /rhev/data-center/mnt/glusterSD/ovirt01st.lutwyn.storage:_data/.shard/ [root@ovirt01 ~]# Is there any special command I have to run? Or can I simply remove the .shard directory now? I only had that VM in that storage domain before disabling sharding. The files are all of type: -rw-rw----. 1 root root 67100672 Jun 3 18:18 23f0c94c-cf2a-42c1-8e2e-a21c4e542774.1 -rw-rw----. 1 root root 67108864 Jun 3 18:18 23f0c94c-cf2a-42c1-8e2e-a21c4e542774.2 ... -rw-rw----. 1 root root 67108864 Jun 3 18:44 23f0c94c-cf2a-42c1-8e2e-a21c4e542774.1008 -rw-rw----. 1 root root 39845888 Jun 3 18:44 23f0c94c-cf2a-42c1-8e2e-a21c4e542774.1009 -rw-rw----. 1 root root 56643584 Jun 3 18:44 23f0c94c-cf2a-42c1-8e2e-a21c4e542774.1031 Thanks in advance, Gianluca

There is also the API and I think there was a python script for ISO upload. You can also import from OVA. As you have multiple VMDKs, why don't you just upload in parallel (20-30 disk in batch).

A note to this is that we are migrating a couple of customers from a vmware enviroment that we have no control over, we get the vmdk files on a NFS share. its a bit over 130 VM:s and if every disk will go at 100mbit/s its quite a painful process. Is there a faster way to import these disk images other then via WebGUI?

Q: Which types of tests and tools are used?
by Juergen Novak 05 Jun '20

05 Jun '20

Hi, can anybody help me to find some information about test types used in the project and tools used? Particularly interesting would be tools and tests used for the Python coding, but also any information about Java would be appreciated. I already scanned the documentation, but I mainly found only information about Mocking tools. Thank you! /juergen

Ovirt 4.4 Migration assistance needed.
by Strahil Nikolov 05 Jun '20

05 Jun '20

Hello All, I would like to ask for some assistance with the planing of the upgrade to 4.4 . I have issues with the OVN (doesn't work at all), thus I would like to start fresh with the HE. The plan so far (downtime is not an issue) : 1. Reinstall the nodes one by 1 and rejoin them in the Gluster TSP 2. Wipe the HostedEngine's gluster volume 3. Deploy a fresh hosted engine 4. Import the storage domains (gluster) back to the engine and import the VMs Do you see any issues with the plan ? Any problems expected if the VMs do have snapshots? What about the storage domain version ? Thanks in Advance. Best Regards, Strahil Nikolov

oVirt 4.4 node via PXE and custom kickstart
by Michael Thomas 04 Jun '20

04 Jun '20

I'm trying to customize a node install to include some local management and monitoring tools, starting with puppet, following the instructions here: https://ovirt.org/documentation/installing_ovirt_as_a_self-hosted_engine_us… The installation of the ovirt node works, and I can deploy the engine once it's running. However, while the extra steps in the %post section of my kickstart are working, any additional 'repo' and %package settings seem to get ignored (even though they were copied from known working kickstart files). What kickstart customizations are supported when deploying a node via PXE? My PXE menu looks like this: menuentry 'Ovirt node' { linuxefi ovirt/vmlinuz ip=dhcp ks=http://10.13.5.13/kickstart/ovirt.cfg ksdevice=link initrd=ovirt/initrd.img inst.stage2=http://10.13.5.13/rhvh initrdefi ovirt/initrd.img } My kickstart file is as follows: liveimg --url=http://10.13.5.13/rhvh/ovirt-node-ng-image.squashfs.img clearpart --all --initlabel autopart --type=thinp zerombr rootpw --plaintext ovirt timezone --utc America/Chicago text reboot # This will need to be updated to point to the 'frozen' snapshot, when available repo --install --name="EPEL" --baseurl=http://10.13.5.13/mirror/linux/epel/8/Everything/x86_64 --cost=99 repo --install --name="Puppet" --baseurl=http://10.13.5.13/mirror/linux/puppetlabs/puppet6/el/8/x86_64 --cost=98 %packages puppet-agent %end %post --erroronfail nodectl init echo "This is a test" > /etc/test.txt %end --Mike

oVirt 4.4 install fails
by Me 04 Jun '20

04 Jun '20

Hi All Not sure where to start, but here goes. I'm not totally new to oVirt, I used RHEV V3.x in production for several years, it was a breeze to setup. Installing 4.4 on to a host with local SSD and FC for storage. Issue 1, having selected the SSD for install which has failed 4.4 beta on it (several times), I reclaim the space and after a few minutes of not being able to enter a root password on the next install screen, it fails as it can't delete the data on the SSD! Yes, really tried this several times, choosing the recover option and getting a prompt, fdisk /dev/sda delete the two partitions created by oVirt and I can install. This was the case with the beta I tried a few weeks ago too. Having reconfigured the switch attached the the host as a dumb 10GBE port as the enterprise OS installer still doesn't appear to support anything more advanced like teaming and VLANS, I have the initial install on the single SSD and a network connection. Issue 2, I use FF 72.0.2 on Linux x64 to connect by https://hostname:9090 to the web interface, but I can't enter login details as the boxes (everything) are disabled???? There is no warning like "we don't like your choice of browser", but the screen is a not very accessible dark grey on darker grey (a poor choice in what I thought were more enlightened times) so this maybe the case. I have disabled all security add-ons in FF, makes no difference. Any suggestions? M

basic infra and glusterfs sizing question
by Jiří Sléžka 04 Jun '20

04 Jun '20

Hello, I am just curious if basic gluster HCI layout which is suggested in cockpit has some deeper meaning. There are suggested 3 volumes * engine - it is clear, it is the volume where engine vm is running. When this vm is 51GB big how small could this volume be? I have 1TB SSD storage and I would like utilize it as much as possible. Could I create this volume as small as this vm is? Is it safe for example for future upgrades? * vmstore - it make sense it is a space for all other vms running in oVirt. Right? * data - which purpose has this volume? other data like for example ISOs? Direct disks? Another infra question... or maybe request for comment I have small amount of public ipv4 addresses in my housing (but I have own switches there so I can create vlans and separate internal traffic). I can access only these public ipv4 addresses directly. I would like to conserve these addressess as much as possible so what is the best approach in your opinion? * Install all hosts and HE with management network on private addressess * have small router (hw appliance with for example LEDE) which will utilize one ipv4 address and will do NAT and vpn for accessing my internals vlans. + looks like simple approach to me - single point of failure in this router (not really - just in case oVirt is badly broken and I need to access internal vlans to recover it) * have this router as virtual appliance inside oVirt (something like pfSense for example) + no need hw router + not sure but I could probably configure vrrp redundancy - still single point of failure like in first case * any other approach? Could ovn help here somehow? * Install all hosts and HE with public addresses :-) + access to all hosts directly - 3 node HCI cluster uses 4 public ip addressess Thanks for your opinions Cheers, Jiri

Ovirt 4.4 HC gluster issues on new CentOS 8 node (cluster still in 4.3 compatibility level)
by jillian.morgan＠primordial.ca 04 Jun '20

04 Jun '20

I've successfully migrated to a new 4.4 engine, now managing the older 4.3 (CentOS 7) nodes. So far so good there. I installed a new CentOS 8 node w/ 4.4, joined it to the Gluster peer group, and it can see all of the volumes, but the node won't go into Online state in the engine because of apparent gluster-related VDSM errors: Status of host butter was set to NonOperational. Gluster command [<UNKNOWN>] failed on server <UNKNOWN>. VDSM butter command ManageGlusterServiceVDS failed: The method does not exist or is not available: {'method': 'GlusterService.action'} I haven't been able to find anything in the VDSM or Engine logs that give me any hint as to what's going on (besides just repeating that the "GlusterSerice.action" method doesn't exist). Anybody know what I'm missing, or have hints on where to dig to debug further?

Those are the last few characters of the admin password. Note that I don't mean the root password to the VM, but the one for the "admin" user of the web interface. I added some debug lines to the Ansible play to see the answerfile that was being generated. OVESETUP_CONFIG/adminPassword=str:&6&yGfcWf#b%JUUj Apparently engine-setup can no longer handle an answerfile with a "%" character in it. This same password worked in 4.3. Once I changed the admin password, installation progressed normally.

Import VM from export domain using oVirt-4.4
by Joop 03 Jun '20

03 Jun '20

Hi All, I'm testing a shiny new oVirt-4.4.02, selfhosted engine HCI gluster, and found a problem when importing my VMs from an export domain. Import is OK but can't start the VM due to the fact that the BIOS is set to Legacy. Manually setting the BIOS type to Cluster Default, through VM properties, will let the VM start. I couldn't find anything about it in the ReleaseNotes As a side note: using gluster still doesn't install gluster-ansible-roles and glusterfs-server and vdsm-gluster or checks for its existance. See also another user who reported problems due to the latter not being installed, had the same experience. Regards, Joop

VM Networking
by Anton Louw 02 Jun '20

02 Jun '20

Hi Everybody, I had a strange incident today.. One of my nodes restarted (Still busy investigating why), but my VMs powered own and moved to different nodes, the only issue is, it seemed to have changed the vlan ID on the NICs? Has anybody seen this before? I am just trying to establish if this was changed on the node networking side, or inside of the VM. Thank you 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

Problem with oVirt 4.4
by minnie.du＠vinchin.com 02 Jun '20

02 Jun '20

Hello, We have met a problem when testing oVirt 4.4. Our VM is on NFS storage. When testing the snapshot function of oVirt 4.4, we created snapshot 1 and then snapshot 2, but after clicking the delete button of snapshot 1, snapshot 1 failed to be deleted and the state of corresponding disk became illegal. Removing the snapshot in this state requires a lot of risky work in the background, leading to the inability to free up snapshot space. Long-term backups will cause the target VM to create a large number of unrecoverable snapshots, thus taking up a large amount of production storage. So we need your help.

Problems creating bricks for new Gluster storage 4.4
by Jaret Garcia 02 Jun '20

02 Jun '20

Hi guys I'm trying to deploy a new ovirt environmet based in version 4.4 so I set up the following: 1 engine sever (stand alone) Version : 4.4.0.3 3 host servers (32 GB RAM, 2CPUs 8 core Xeon 5160, 500GB OS drive, 1 storage 8TB drive and 1 SSD 256GB (I'm trying to create a brick with SSD cache with no success) Detail of versions running on servers [ OS Version: RHEL - 8 - 1.1911.0.9.el8 OS Description: oVirt Node 4.4.0 Kernel Version: 4.18.0 - 147.8.1.el8_1.x86_64 KVM Version: 4.1.0 - 23.el8.1 LIBVIRT Version: libvirt-5.6.0-10.el8 VDSM Version: vdsm-4.40.16-1.el8 SPICE Version: 0.14.2 - 1.el8 GlusterFS Version: glusterfs-7.5-1.el8 CEPH Version: librbd1-12.2.7-9.el8 Open vSwitch Version: openvswitch-2.11.1-5.el8 Nmstate Version: nmstate-0.2.10-1.el8 ] Engine server working fine, all 3 host servers already part of the default cluster as hypervisors, then when I try to create a brick in any of the servers, using the 8TB HHDD and SSD as cache the process fails, in the GUI it just says "failed to creat brick on host" However in engine log as well as in brick-setup log I see: "err" : " Physical volume \"/dev/sdc\" still in use\n" "failed" : true,, (sdc in this case is the 8TB HHDD) Attached files of both logs.

Mixing OS versions
by Stack Korora 01 Jun '20

01 Jun '20

Greetings, We've been using Scientific Linux 7 quite successfully with oVirt for years now. However, since there will not be a SL7 we are transitioning new servers to CentOS8. I would like to add a new oVirt hypervisor node. How bad of an idea is it to have a 8 system when the rest are 7 even though the version of oVirt will be the same? Thanks!

Hi! I' installed CentOS 8 and ovirt package following this step: systemctl enable --now cockpit.socket yum install https://resources.ovirt.org/pub/yum-repo/ovirt-release44.rpm yum module -y enable javapackages-tools yum module -y enable pki-deps yum module -y enable postgresql:12 yum -y install glibc-locale-source glibc-langpack-en localedef -v -c -i en_US -f UTF-8 en_US.UTF-8 yum update yum install ovirt-engine engine-setup (by keeping all default) It's possible ovirt-imageio-proxy service is not installed? (service ovirt-imageio-proxy status --> not found, yum install ovirt-imageio-proxy --> not found) I'm not able to upload iso... I also installed CA cert in firefox...

Issues deploying 4.4 with HE on new EPYC hosts
by Mark R 01 Jun '20

01 Jun '20

Hello all, I have some EPYC servers that are not yet in production, so I wanted to go ahead and move them off of 4.3 (which was working) to 4.4. I flattened and reinstalled the hosts with CentOS 8.1 Minimal and installed all updates. Some very simple networking, just a bond and two iSCSI interfaces. After adding the oVirt 4.4 repo and installing the requirements, I run 'hosted-engine --deploy' and proceed through the setup. Everything looks as though it is going nicely and the local HE starts and runs perfectly. After copying the HE disks out to storage, the system tries to start it there but is using a different CPU definition and it's impossible to start it. At this point I'm stuck but hoping someone knows the fix, because this is as vanilla a deployment as I could attempt and it appears EPYC CPUs are a no-go right now with 4.4. When the HostedEngineLocal VM is running, the CPU definition is: <cpu mode='custom' match='exact' check='full'> <model fallback='forbid'>EPYC-IBPB</model> <vendor>AMD</vendor> <feature policy='require' name='x2apic'/> <feature policy='require' name='tsc-deadline'/> <feature policy='require' name='hypervisor'/> <feature policy='require' name='tsc_adjust'/> <feature policy='require' name='clwb'/> <feature policy='require' name='umip'/> <feature policy='require' name='arch-capabilities'/> <feature policy='require' name='cmp_legacy'/> <feature policy='require' name='perfctr_core'/> <feature policy='require' name='wbnoinvd'/> <feature policy='require' name='amd-ssbd'/> <feature policy='require' name='skip-l1dfl-vmentry'/> <feature policy='disable' name='monitor'/> <feature policy='disable' name='svm'/> <feature policy='require' name='topoext'/> </cpu> Once the HostedEngine VM is defined and trying to start, the CPU definition is simply: <cpu mode='custom' match='exact' check='partial'> <model fallback='allow'>EPYC</model> <topology sockets='16' cores='4' threads='1'/> <feature policy='require' name='ibpb'/> <feature policy='require' name='virt-ssbd'/> <numa> <cell id='0' cpus='0-63' memory='16777216' unit='KiB'/> </numa> </cpu> On attempts to start it, the host is logging this error: "CPU is incompatible with host CPU: Host CPU does not provide required features: virt-ssbd". So, the HostedEngineLocal VM works because it has a requirement set for 'amd-ssbd' instead of 'virt-ssbd', and a VM requiring 'virt-ssbd' can't run on EPYC CPUs with CentOS 8.1. As mentioned, the HostedEngine ran fine on oVirt 4.3 with CentOS 7.8, and on 4.3 the cpu definition also required 'virt-ssbd', so I can only imagine that perhaps this is due to the more recent 4.x kernel that I now need HE to require 'amd-ssbd' instead? Any clues to help with this? I can completely wipe/reconfigure the hosts as needed so I'm willing to try whatever so that I can move forward with a 4.4 deployment. Thanks! Mark

hi everyone, With 4.4 I get: ... tun: unexpected GSO type ... It happens to a "third-party" kernel, namely: 5.6.15-1.el8.elrepo.x86_64 on Centos 8.

Problem with Ovirt Machines
by aigini82＠gmail.com 31 May '20

31 May '20

Hi, Our company uses Ovirt to host some of its virtual machines. The version used is 4.2.6.4-1.el7. There are about 36 virtual hosts in it. The specifications used for the host machine is 30G RAM and 6 CPUs. Some of the VMs in the ovirt host run with 4 CPUs. Some with 2 CPUs. The problem I face now is that recently there was a need for high CPU and memory specs to setup a VM for DR. I created a VM with 16G RAM and 6 CPUs, without checking the CPUs available in the host first. After DR, the VM was brought down already. Then later another person in the team brought the VM back up for a different DR use, for a much larger DB restoration purpose. This caused the VM to pause due to storage error. And then worse things happened, whereby 2 other VMs inadvertently went down. Although I assumed that this was caused by storage errors/problems, the senior admins in the team concluded that the problem was due to fencing because of the max allotted CPU for the host being used for the VM. Now what I need to know is how to properly allocate CPU resources to a host to run multiple virtual machines in it like the situation above. I even tried to look for errors in vdsm.log, but this log was not available in the host machine nor in the affected VM. My colleague asked me to check "Events" section of the ovirt management interface to see past the past events. However, I don't find much details about the fencing activity or how the fencing occurred or what caused the fencing. And how did they conclude that the CPU count caused the fencing and not the storage?

Hi! I have installed oVirt using the iso ovirt-node-ng-installer-4.3.2-2019031908.el7. I the did run the Host-engine deployment through Cockpit. I got an error when it tries to create the domain storage. It sucessfully mounted the NFS-share on the host.

Q: Fixing SELinux Permissions on oVirt node
by Andrei Verovski 29 May '20

29 May '20

Hi ! I’m struggling with SELinux blocking SNMP script from reading log file (oVirt node manually installed on CentOS 7). Log file is readable by all (chmod ugo+r). Scripts working fine when executed from terminal. I did not dig deep into CentOS internals, I’m mostly use Debian and SuSE. As far as I know, SELinux can’t be turned off on oVirt node. Thanks in advance for any suggestion(s). ********************** option in snmpd.conf extend .1.3.6.1.4.1.2021.7890.5 checkraid /opt/4anvcheckraid_hp.sh ********************** script 4anvcheckraid_hp.sh #!/bin/bash LOGFILE='/var/log/anvraidcheck.log' if [ ! -f $LOGFILE ]; then exit 0 fi # Variant 1 with sed sed '/^[ \t]*$/d' $LOGFILE | while read line; do echo "$line" exit 1 done # Variant 2 without sed while read line do if [[ "$line" =~ [^[:space:]] ]]; then echo "$line" exit 1 fi done < $LOGFILE ********************** SELinux audit log: type=AVC msg=audit(1590673970.198:469304): avc: denied { read } for pid=12142 comm="sed" name="anvraidcheck.log" dev="dm-8" ino=138 scontext=system_u:system_r:snmpd_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:cron_log_t:s0 tclass=file permissive=0 type=AVC msg=audit(1590673970.197:469303): avc: denied { read } for pid=12141 comm="4anvcheckraid_h" name="anvraidcheck.log" dev="dm-8" ino=138 scontext=system_u:system_r:snmpd_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:cron_log_t:s0 tclass=file permissive=0
