TPM 2.0 Support in Ovirt
by bob.franzke＠mdaemon.com 22 Oct '21

22 Oct '21

Need to deploy a VM of a Windows 11 guest. Windows 11 requires TPM 2.0 support for it to be able to install. Does Ovirt support TPM devices somehow and if so how do I present the VM with a TPM device that can be detected by the Windows 11 setup installer? Thanks in advance for any help here.

The only workaround for now is to use a file based storage domain (e.g. NFS) for the ISO images. When the issue is fixed, you can copy the ISO disks to another storage domain, and remove the file based domain. Nir

install python package ovirt_imageio for Ovirt 4.3
by Grace Chen 21 Oct '21

21 Oct '21

I want to use python script running from a host to automate the remote kvm manager's vm backup. Our ovirt version is 4.3. I have installed ovirt-imageio-daemon on the host I tried to yum install ovirt-imageio-client (we use yum), it couldn't find the package. error message: Loaded plugins: ulninfo, vdsmupgrade, versionlock ovirt-4.3 | 3.0 kB 00:00:00 ovirt-4.3-extra | 3.0 kB 00:00:00 ovirt-master-snapshot | 3.0 kB 00:00:00 ovirt-master-snapshot-static | 3.0 kB 00:00:00 No package ovirt-imageio-client available. I tried to copy folder ovirt_imageio from ovirt-imageio to my python library directory, it could not compile the c file "ioutil.c" Can anybody help me install the python package? Am I installing on the correct place, do I need to use the python script only on the host that installed the kvm manager?

oVirt 4.4.8 Hyperconverged deploy failed
by dvx.mellin＠gmail.com 21 Oct '21

21 Oct '21

Hi everyone, I'm trying to deploy a hyperconverged ovirt cluster, but the the wizard in cockpit failed at the first step with the error "FQDN is not reachable". The goal is to have 3 nodes, with hosted engine on gluster FS. Here is the relevant information : - CentOS 8.4 - ovirt 4.4.8 - 2 network interfaces (1 for storage, 1 for production) The packages installed : cockpit-ovirt-dashboard, vdsm-gluster, ovirt-host, ovirt-engine-appliance, gluster-ansible-roles # rpm -qa | grep ovirt ovirt-imageio-client-2.2.0-1.el8.x86_64 ovirt-host-dependencies-4.4.8-1.el8.x86_64 ovirt-vmconsole-1.0.9-1.el8.noarch python3-ovirt-setup-lib-1.3.2-1.el8.noarch ovirt-provider-ovn-driver-1.2.34-1.el8.noarch ovirt-host-4.4.8-1.el8.x86_64 ovirt-vmconsole-host-1.0.9-1.el8.noarch ovirt-imageio-daemon-2.2.0-1.el8.x86_64 ovirt-hosted-engine-ha-2.4.8-1.el8.noarch ovirt-hosted-engine-setup-2.5.3-1.el8.noarch ovirt-engine-appliance-4.4-20210826223909.1.el8.x86_64 cockpit-ovirt-dashboard-0.15.1-1.el8.noarch python3-ovirt-engine-sdk4-4.4.15-1.el8.x86_64 ovirt-ansible-collection-1.6.2-1.el8.noarch ovirt-imageio-common-2.2.0-1.el8.x86_64 I didn't use the ovirt44-release package because we have to use our local repo. So we have cloned all necessary repo. Every package installation was passed without any issues. The /etc/hosts contains every FQDN/IP for the storage network (which is not exposed to the public), and the DNS server is reachable to respond to public FQDN. Passwordless connection is installed and works perfectly with sotrage and production FQDN. If you need more information, please tell me. Thanks in advance for your help. Regards

[ANN] oVirt 4.4.9 is now generally available
by Sandro Bonazzola 21 Oct '21

21 Oct '21

oVirt 4.4.9 is now generally available The oVirt project is excited to announce the general availability of oVirt 4.4.9 , as of October 20th, 2021. This release unleashes an altogether more powerful and flexible open source virtualization solution that encompasses hundreds of individual changes and a wide range of enhancements across the engine, storage, network, user interface, and analytics, as compared to oVirt 4.3. Important! Known issues Please note qemu-kvm, shipped outside oVirt, is affected by BZ#1999141 <https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1999141> - migration fails with: "qemu-kvm: get_pci_config_device: Bad config data: i=0x9a read: 3 device: 2 cmask: ff wmask: 0 w1cmask:0" It has been detected to wait for a fix before building oVirt Node update as it includes qemu-kvm. If you haven’t updated to qemu-kvm 6 yet please don’t update it. Upgraded systems will NOT be able to migrate VMs anywhere else, not even once the issue is fixed. Important notes before you install / upgrade Please note that oVirt 4.4 only supports clusters and data centers with compatibility version 4.2 and above. If clusters or data centers are running with an older compatibility version, you need to upgrade them to at least 4.2 (4.3 is recommended). Please note that in RHEL 8 / CentOS 8 several devices that worked on EL7 are no longer supported. For example, the megaraid_sas driver is removed. If you use Enterprise Linux 8 hosts you can try to provide the necessary drivers for the deprecated hardware using the DUD method (See the users’ mailing list thread on this at https://lists.ovirt.org/archives/list/users@ovirt.org/thread/NDSVUZSESOXEFJ… ) Documentation - If you want to try oVirt as quickly as possible, follow the instructions on the Download <https://ovirt.org/download/> page. - For complete installation, administration, and usage instructions, see the oVirt Documentation <https://ovirt.org/documentation/>. - For upgrading from a previous version, see the oVirt Upgrade Guide <https://ovirt.org/documentation/upgrade_guide/>. - For a general overview of oVirt, see About oVirt <https://ovirt.org/community/about.html>.

Host is not added in known_hosts
by admin＠foundryserver.com 20 Oct '21

20 Oct '21

ok I am setting up the gluster file system. I have the following completed - able to ssh into all three hosts from host1 without password prompting. - on each host I have host file entries for host{x}.private.net - on public dns, I have host{x}1.fg.net - each host has a public nic and private nic. - I have all three hosts added in the dashboard - I am able to ping all three on private and public nic from host1 When I go to add the hosts in the setup, it looks like 2 and 3 are fine with no errors, but host1 entry gives me "Host is not added in known_hosts" error. I am doing this setup from host1. It feels like there is a link to being on host1 and host1 having the error. I am still google fooing as we speak to try and find an error. The only thing I have not done, is setup host 2 and 3 to be able to ssh into all the other boxes. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Happy to share screen shots if it would help. Brad

Engine backup / restore
by duparchy＠esrf.fr 20 Oct '21

20 Oct '21

Hi, I'm testing Backup / Restore of the engine. Once the engine is restored ; how to resync the engine database with the "reality" of the Storage Domains ? (I'm talking about anything that could have been done after the engine backup : Deleted / Created VMs ; Snapshots taken since the backup, etc.. I'm on 4.3, Oracle LVM context. My Tests : - Create a snapshot of some random VM. Say VM-1 - Enable that VM preview and start it on a host. - Stop OLVM engine server. - Start a full backup copy of that OLVM engine (That backup being a snapshot taken, say, yesterday. Our test OLVM engine being a VM running in another separate virltualization infrastucture.) The restored OLVM does not show the existence of the VM-1 snapshot. It only shows the VM running on the active instance. No snapshot. I tried Storage Domain / Scan disks. No refresh to be seen.
