Help installing oVirt on single machine, without cockpit
by Cameronsplaze222＠gmail.com 09 Jan '22

09 Jan '22

I'm trying to install both the oVirt engine (so I have the API), and hypervisor on the same machine. I'm hoping I don't need cockpit, and I can write some custom scripts to manage oVirt through the API. I tried a couple ways, and both were blocked: # on CentOS 9 stream, installing oVirt engine: On a fresh CentOS install, tried following the directions [here](https://www.ovirt.org/documentation/installing_ovirt_as_a_standalone_…. They failed at step 3.2, when adding the modules (missing groups or modules). Tried skipping it, but step 3.3.2 failed when running `dnf install ovirt-engine`, package couldn't be found. The closest package I see is `ovirt-hosted-engine-setup-2.5.4-1.el9.noarch`. Is that what I want? # On oVirt node, installing engine: Couldn't get the networking working, even though I added it during the install process. Also tried wired connection, and no luck. Blocked early on, but read this was SUPER minimal anyway, so maybe this wasn't the right path. I'm just trying to have a working API, along side the hypervisor to run vm's, both on the same machine. I'm down to go a third way too, if anyone has any ideas. Thanks!

After upgrade to vdsm-4.40.90.4-1.el8 - Internal JSON-RPC error - how to fix?
by John Mortensen 09 Jan '22

Hi, After we upgraded to vdsm-4.40.90.4-1.el8 on our two node cluster two things has happned: 1. First node that was upgraded now continuously logs this error: VDSM <node name> command Get Host Statistics failed: Internal JSON-RPC error: {'reason': "'str' object has no attribute 'decode'"} 2. During import of two virtual machines from VMware (has done multible before upgrade) the import seems to never finish - currently running on day 2-3... any clues how to fix this? /John

There is no firewall between the oVirt hosts/engine and the iLO interfaces. When I configured oVirt power management, the offered test passed. I'm not running IPMI. On a side note, the problem exists both before and after enabling oVirt's power management feature.

Instability after update
by Andrea Chierici 09 Jan '22

09 Jan '22

Cheers, I am in trouble... I am running an ovirt manager v4.4.9.5-1.el8. This week I updated all the hosts to latest release (starting from repo ovirt-release44-4.4.9.3-1.el8.noarch) since I hadn't done that when I upgraded the manager. Before that the system was rock solid. Unfortunately, after the upgrade, I get frequent errors on running VMs: VM XXXXXXXX is down with error. Exit message: Lost connection with qemu process. I can't get any hint from the logs, I wonder if someone has any idea of what is going on.

Unrecoverable NMI error on HP Gen8 hosts.
by Diggy Mc 08 Jan '22

08 Jan '22

I have oVirt Node v4.4.8.3 running on several HP ProLiant Gen8 servers. I receive the following error under certain circumstances: "An Unrecoverable System Error (NMI) has occurred (iLO application watchdog timeout NMI, Service Information: 0x0000002B, 0x00000000)" When a host starts taking a load (but nowhere near a threshold), I encounter the above iLO-logged error and the host locks-up. I have had to grossly under-utilize my hosts to avoid this problem. I'm hoping for a better fix or work-around. I've had the same problem beginning with my oVirt 4.3.x hosts, so it isn't oVirt version specific. The little information I could find on the error wasn't helpful. Red Hat acknowledges the issue, but limited to shutdown/reboot operations; not during "normal" operations. Anyone else experienced this problem? How did you fix it or work around it? I'd like to better utilize my servers if possible. In advance, thank you to anyone and everyone who offers help.

How to find out I / O usge from servers
by ovirt.org＠nevim.eu 06 Jan '22

06 Jan '22

Hi everyone, I would like via API, or. pull information about I / O usage by individual servers directly from the postre database. But I have a data warehouse turned off for performance reasons. Is this information collected somewhere so that I can collect it from somewhere in my external database or read it from the virus database? Thanks for the information.

sanlock issues after 4.3 to 4.4 migration
by Strahil Nikolov 06 Jan '22

Hello All, I was trying to upgrade my single node setup (Actually it used to be 2+1 arbiter, but one of the data nodes died) from 4.3.10 to 4.4.? The deployment failed on 'hosted-engine --reinitialize-lockspace --force' and it seems that sanlock fails to obtain a lock: # hosted-engine --reinitialize-lockspace --force Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib64/python3.6/runpy.py", line 193, in _run_module_as_main "__main__", mod_spec) File "/usr/lib64/python3.6/runpy.py", line 85, in _run_code exec(code, run_globals) File "/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/ovirt_hosted_engine_setup/reinitialize_lockspace.py", line 30, in <module> ha_cli.reset_lockspace(force) File "/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/ovirt_hosted_engine_ha/client/client.py", line 286, in reset_lockspace stats = broker.get_stats_from_storage() File "/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/ovirt_hosted_engine_ha/lib/brokerlink.py", line 148, in get_stats_from_storage result = self._proxy.get_stats() File "/usr/lib64/python3.6/xmlrpc/client.py", line 1112, in __call__ return self.__send(self.__name, args) File "/usr/lib64/python3.6/xmlrpc/client.py", line 1452, in __request verbose=self.__verbose File "/usr/lib64/python3.6/xmlrpc/client.py", line 1154, in request return self.single_request(host, handler, request_body, verbose) File "/usr/lib64/python3.6/xmlrpc/client.py", line 1166, in single_request http_conn = self.send_request(host, handler, request_body, verbose) File "/usr/lib64/python3.6/xmlrpc/client.py", line 1279, in send_request self.send_content(connection, request_body) File "/usr/lib64/python3.6/xmlrpc/client.py", line 1309, in send_content connection.endheaders(request_body) File "/usr/lib64/python3.6/http/client.py", line 1268, in endheaders self._send_output(message_body, encode_chunked=encode_chunked) File "/usr/lib64/python3.6/http/client.py", line 1044, in _send_output self.send(msg) File "/usr/lib64/python3.6/http/client.py", line 982, in send self.connect() File "/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/ovirt_hosted_engine_ha/lib/unixrpc.py", line 74, in connect self.sock.connect(base64.b16decode(self.host)) FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory # grep sanlock /var/log/messages | tail Jan 6 08:29:48 ovirt2 sanlock[1269]: 2022-01-06 08:29:48 19341 [77108]: s1777 failed to read device to find sector size error -223 /run/vdsm/storage/ca3807b9-5afc-4bcd-a557-aacbcc53c340/39ee18b2-3d7b-4d48-8a0e-3ed7947b5038/d95ae3ee-b6d3-46c4-b6a2-75f96134c7f1 Jan 6 08:29:49 ovirt2 sanlock[1269]: 2022-01-06 08:29:49 19342 [1310]: s1777 add_lockspace fail result -223 Jan 6 08:29:54 ovirt2 sanlock[1269]: 2022-01-06 08:29:54 19347 [77113]: s1778 failed to read device to find sector size error -223 /run/vdsm/storage/ca3807b9-5afc-4bcd-a557-aacbcc53c340/39ee18b2-3d7b-4d48-8a0e-3ed7947b5038/d95ae3ee-b6d3-46c4-b6a2-75f96134c7f1 Jan 6 08:29:55 ovirt2 sanlock[1269]: 2022-01-06 08:29:55 19348 [1310]: s1778 add_lockspace fail result -223 Jan 6 08:30:00 ovirt2 sanlock[1269]: 2022-01-06 08:30:00 19353 [77138]: s1779 failed to read device to find sector size error -223 /run/vdsm/storage/ca3807b9-5afc-4bcd-a557-aacbcc53c340/39ee18b2-3d7b-4d48-8a0e-3ed7947b5038/d95ae3ee-b6d3-46c4-b6a2-75f96134c7f1 Jan 6 08:30:01 ovirt2 sanlock[1269]: 2022-01-06 08:30:01 19354 [1311]: s1779 add_lockspace fail result -223 Jan 6 08:30:06 ovirt2 sanlock[1269]: 2022-01-06 08:30:06 19359 [77144]: s1780 failed to read device to find sector size error -223 /run/vdsm/storage/ca3807b9-5afc-4bcd-a557-aacbcc53c340/39ee18b2-3d7b-4d48-8a0e-3ed7947b5038/d95ae3ee-b6d3-46c4-b6a2-75f96134c7f1 Jan 6 08:30:07 ovirt2 sanlock[1269]: 2022-01-06 08:30:07 19360 [1310]: s1780 add_lockspace fail result -223 Jan 6 08:30:12 ovirt2 sanlock[1269]: 2022-01-06 08:30:12 19365 [77151]: s1781 failed to read device to find sector size error -223 /run/vdsm/storage/ca3807b9-5afc-4bcd-a557-aacbcc53c340/39ee18b2-3d7b-4d48-8a0e-3ed7947b5038/d95ae3ee-b6d3-46c4-b6a2-75f96134c7f1 Jan 6 08:30:13 ovirt2 sanlock[1269]: 2022-01-06 08:30:13 19366 [1310]: s1781 add_lockspace fail result -223 # sanlock client status daemon 5f37f400-b865-11dc-a4f5-2c4d54502372 p -1 helper p -1 listener p -1 status s ca3807b9-5afc-4bcd-a557-aacbcc53c340:1:/rhev/data-center/mnt/glusterSD/ovirt2\:_engine44/ca3807b9-5afc-4bcd-a557-aacbcc53c340/dom_md/ids:0 Could it be related to the sector size of the Gluster's Brick? # smartctl -a /dev/sdb | grep 'Sector Sizes' Sector Sizes: 512 bytes logical, 4096 bytes physical Any hint will be helpful Best Regads, Strahil Nikolov
