Snapshot task stuck at oVirt 4.4.8
by nicolas＠devels.es 21 Sep '22

21 Sep '22

Hi, We're running oVirt 4.4.8 and one of our users tried to create a snapshot on a VM. The snapshot task got stuck (not sure why) and since then a "locked" icon is being shown on the VM. We need to remove this VM, but since it has a pending task, we're unable. The ovirt-engine log shows hundreds of events like: [2022-09-20 09:23:09,286+01 INFO [org.ovirt.engine.core.bll.SerialChildCommandsExecutionCallback] (EE-ManagedScheduledExecutorService-engineScheduledThreadPool-Thread-27) [2769dad5-3ec3-4c46-90a2-924746ea8d97] Command 'CreateSnapshotForVm' (id: '4fcb6ab7-2cd7-4a0c-be97-f6979be25bb9') waiting on child command id: 'cbb7a2c0-2111-4958-a55d-d48bf2d8591b' type:'CreateLiveSnapshotForVm' to complete An ovirt-engine restart didn't make any difference. Is there a way to remove this task manually, even changing something in the DB? Thanks.

oVirt Engine VM On Rocky Linux
by Matthew J Black 21 Sep '22

Hi Everybody (Hi Dr. Nick), Has anyone attempted to migrate the oVirt Engine VM over to Rocky Linux (v8.6), and if so, any "gotchas" we need to know about? Cheers Dulux-Oz

oVirt & (Ceph) iSCSI
by Matthew J Black 21 Sep '22

21 Sep '22

Hi Everybody (Hi Dr. Nick), So, next question in my on-going saga: *somewhere* in the documentation I read that when using oVirt with multiple iSCSI paths (in my case, multiple Ceph iSCSI Gateways) we need to set up DM Multipath. My question is: Is this still relevant information when using oVirt v4.5.2? Relevant link referred to by the oVirt Documentation: - https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/7/ht… Cheers Dulux-Oz

Self-hosted-engine timeout and recovering time
by Marcos Sungaila 20 Sep '22

20 Sep '22

Hi all, I have a cluster running the 4.4.10 release with 6 KVM hosts and Self-Hosted-Engine. I'm testing some network outage scenarios, and I faced strange behavior. After disconnecting the KVM hosts hosting the SHE, there was a long timeout until switching the Self-Hosted-Engine to another host as expected. Also, there took a relatively long time to take over the HA VMs from the failing server. Is there a configuration where I can reduce the SHE timeout to make this recover process faster? Regards, Marcos Sungaila

How do I migrate a running VM off unassigned host?
by David White 20 Sep '22

20 Sep '22

Ok, now that I'm able to (re)deploy ovirt to new hosts, I now need to migrate VMs that are running on hosts that are currently in an "unassigned" state in the cluser. This is the result of having moved the oVirt engine OUT of a hyperconverged environment onto its own stand-alone system, while simultaneously upgrading oVirt from v4.4 to the latest v4.5. See the following email threads: - https://lists.ovirt.org/archives/list/users@ovirt.org/thread/TZAUCM3GB5ERST… - https://lists.ovirt.org/archives/list/users@ovirt.org/thread/3IWXZ7VXM6CYYS… The oVirt engine knows about the VMs, and oVirt knows about the storage that those VMs are on. But the engine sees 2 of my hosts as "unassigned", and I've been unable to migrate the disks to new storage, nor live migrate a VM from an unassigned host, nor make a clone of an existing VM. Is there a way to recover from this scenario? I was thinking something along the lines of manually shutting down the VM on the unassigned host, and then somehow force the engine to bring the VM online again from a healthy host? Thanks, David Sent with Proton Mail secure email.

Unable to deploy to new host
by David White 19 Sep '22

19 Sep '22

I currently have a self-hosted engine that was restored from a backup of an engine that was originally in a hyperconverged state. (See https://lists.ovirt.org/archives/list/users@ovirt.org/message/APQ3XBUM34TG7…) This was also an upgrade from ovirt 4.4 to ovirt 4.5. There were 4 hosts in this cluster. Unfortunately, 2 of them are completely in an "Unassigned" state right now, and I don't know why. The VMs on those hosts are working fine, but I have no way to move the VMs or manage them. More to the point of this email: I'm trying to re-deploy onto a 3rd host. I did a fresh install of Rocky Linux 8, and followed the instructions at https://ovirt.org/download/ and at https://ovirt.org/download/install_on_rhel.html, including the part there that is specific to Rocky. After installing the centos-release-ovirt45 package, I then logged into the oVirt engine web UI, and went to Compute -> Hosts -> New, and have tried (and failed) many times to install / deploy to this new host. The last error in the host deploy log is the following: 2022-09-18 21:29:39 EDT - { "uuid" : "94b93e6a-5410-4d26-b058-d7d1db0a151e", "counter" : 404, "stdout" : "fatal: [cha2-storage.mgt.example.com] FAILED! => {\"msg\": \"The conditional check 'cluster_switch == \\\"ovs\\\" or (ovn_central is defined and ovn_central | ipaddr)' failed.

oVirt 4.5 on Rocky 9
by Bjorn M 19 Sep '22

19 Sep '22

Hi, I'm moving all my infra nodes to Rocky 9 and my oVirt cluster is next on the list. I'm deploying a standalone oVirt VM on a KVM box and will set up the hosts afterwards. All are to run on Rocky 9 x86_64. I followed https://www.ovirt.org/download/install_on_rhel.html and created an Ansible playbook to set up the customisations. I now have all repos set up correctly, or at least that is my understanding. When I run yum search ovirt-engine I get a number of packages available from the repos, but not the ovirt-engine package. I do see the ovirt-hosted-engine, but I prefer the standalone option. This makes sense as I don't find the package at http://mirror.stream.centos.org/SIGs/9-stream/virt/x86_64/ovirt-45/Packages… , which I where all ovirt- packages are, except this one. Yum whatprovides engine-setup also turns out negative. I then decided to install ovirt-engine-appliance 4.5-20220419160254.1.el9 from ovirt-45-upstream, but that package produces an error on the GPG key import. It's unclear whether the issue is on my specific stack or wider. The missing ovirt-engine package is confusing though. Any help is appreciated, Cheers, Bjorn OUTPUT : (0)[root@ovirt ~]# yum repolist Updating Subscription Management repositories.

Re: Error during deployment of ovirt-engine
by Peter H 19 Sep '22

19 Sep '22

Hi Jonas, I get the same error when I try to install. Last weekend I managed to do it (but with a lot of other problems) so something has changed during the week. After the VM is up I logged in through ssh and saw that the oVirt appliance comes with Python-3.6 and Python-3.8 which both have netaddr installed. Part of the log: ... [ INFO ] TASK [ovirt.ovirt.engine_setup : Update setup packages] [ INFO ] skipping: [localhost] [ INFO ] TASK [ovirt.ovirt.engine_setup : Copy yum configuration file] [ INFO ] changed: [localhost -> 192.168.222.35] [ INFO ] TASK [ovirt.ovirt.engine_setup : Set 'best' to false] [ INFO ] changed: [localhost -> 192.168.222.35] [ INFO ] TASK [ovirt.ovirt.engine_setup : Update all packages] [ INFO ] changed: [localhost -> 192.168.222.35] [ INFO ] TASK [ovirt.ovirt.engine_setup : Remove temporary yum configuration file] [ INFO ] changed: [localhost -> 192.168.222.35] [ INFO ] TASK [ovirt.ovirt.engine_setup : Set offline parameter if variable is set] ... I noticed that after the task "Update all packages" Python-3.9 gets installed and that version does not have netaddr installed. My theory is that the playbook somehow uses the newest version of Python which is installed. pip3.9 list Package Version ------------ ------- ansible-core 2.13.3 cffi 1.14.3 cryptography 3.3.1 idna 2.10 pip 20.2.4 ply 3.11 pycparser 2.20 PyYAML 5.4.1 setuptools 50.3.2 six 1.15.0 I have tried another run where I installed the netaddr module as soon as Python-3.9 got installed and that installation went further but then it had another error. When I log into my hosted engine VM from last week there is no Python-3.9. My dnf(1) skills are not good enough to figure out which dependency is causing Python-3.9 to be installed. There are probably a lot of other modules missing that can explain the other error(s) I see. I will see if I can find out how to file a proper bug report. BR Peter
