Correct method to upload ISOs
by nroach44＠nroach44.id.au 02 Mar '22

02 Mar '22

As ISO domains are deprecated, what's the correct/modern procedure to upload ISOs to install / boot from? When I upload them to a data domain, they get converted into QCOW2 images (as confirmed by qemu-img info), but attached like ISOs to the qemu process. This means the VMs won't boot, until I manually overwrite the disk image on the datastore with the ISO directly (which works fine). My cluster started on 4.4 just after release, and is fully updated, if that changes things. Cheers, Nathaniel

Hello everybody, last night my backup script was not able to finish the backup from a VM in the last step of deleting the snapshot. And now I also can not delete this snapshot by hand, the message says: VDSM onode2 command MergeVDS failed: Drive image file could not be found: {'driveSpec': {'poolID': 'c9baa5d4-3543-11eb-9c0c-00163e33f845', 'volumeID': '024e1844-c19b-40d8-a2ac-cb4ea6ec34e6', 'imageID': 'ad23c0db-1838-4f1f-811b-2b213d3a11cd', 'domainID': '3cf83851-1cc8-4f97-8960-08a60b9e25db'}, 'job': '96c7003f-e111-4270-b922-d9b215aaaea2', 'reason': 'Cannot find drive'} The full log you found in the attachment.

How to create a new Direct LUN with the API
by michael.wagenknecht＠continentale.de 02 Mar '22

02 Mar '22

Hi, I tried to create a new Fibre Channel Direct LUN with the API. But it doesn't work. My command is: curl -s \ --cacert '/etc/pki/ovirt-engine/ca.pem' \ --request POST \ --header 'Version: 4' \ --header 'Accept: application/xml' \ --user 'admin@internal:XXXXXXXXXX' \ --data ' <disk> <alias>DX600RZ2_OLVM_Test</alias> <name>DX600RZ2_OLVM_Test</name> <lun_storage> <type>fcp</type> <logical_units> <logical_unit id="3600000e00d2a0000002a0d15034d0000"> </logical_unit> </logical_units> </lun_storage> </disk> ' \ https://olvmmanager/ovirt-engine/api/disks I think there are parameter missing. But I can't find a working example. Please help. Best Regards, Michael

How I'd like to contribute
by Glen Jarvis 02 Mar '22

02 Mar '22

I am researching how to contribute to the oVirt community. I started here: https://www.ovirt.org/community/ And, I immediately saw to sign up for this email address and...send us an email saying how you would like to contribute. Visit our[mailing lists](https://lists.ovirt.org/archives/)page for other oVirt mailing lists to sign up for. My answers are: I want to be useful (and give more than I take). I can answer questions on mailing lists, help troubleshoot, write ovirt.ovirt Ansible collections, roles and custom modules. I am a seasoned Python programmer. My background: - Python programmer for 10+ years - I write custom Ansible modules, roles, playbook, etc. - Previous DBA for Informix (highly certified but who has heard of informix anymore). Postgres and Informix are cousins (both offspring from Ingres) - I have *some* rudimentary knowledge of Virtualization. However, I'm far from an expert - One of my favorite OS's is Qubes (an OS of virtual machines really) - I do a lot of technical training (writing materials and facilitating classes) - I work in an SRE / SysAd role at a large company that puts music in peoples ears (I'm hoping to move some of this from less SysAd and more SRE when with some of this oVirt stuff we're working on). My intermediate skills - I have bought a book on libvirt. But, it's still on my backlog. It feels that I'm always sucking an ocean through a straw so I have to pick and choose what I read next - My second favorite OS is Ubuntu as my main desktop (Qubes on separate computer for more secure stuff -- like crypto) - I'm just starting to use Virtual Machine Manager to run other OSs on Ubuntu My Oh-I-have-No-Idea skills: - things like luns, iSCSI and the `vdsm-tool config-lvm-filter` are making me pull my hair out. This is the reason I was frustrated enough to say "Let me join this community so I can learn more how this architecture works." - I work for a large company that has a RedHat support contract. We use RHV. I just wrote up this long descriptive case of the problem, uploaded sosreports, added as much detail as I could. But, it's crickets. If I knew more I could debug what was happening more myself. How did I do for an introduction? Cheers, Glen Jarvis

Manually rescanning the scsi hosts is for new disks.The previous example 'echo 1 > .../rescan' should do the trick. Can we have the 'lsblk' & 'lsscsi' output ?

Unable to migrate VMs to a newly upgraded Ovirt node host

Hi guys, I just faced a problem after updating a host. I cannot migrate VM to updated host. Here's the error I see trying to migrate a VM to that host.
