Libgfapi considerations
by Jayme 01 Jul '21

01 Jul '21

Are there currently any known issues with using libgfapi in the latest stable version of ovirt in hci deployments? I have recently enabled it and have noticed a significant (over 4x) increase in io performance on my vms. I’m concerned however since it does not seem to be an ovirt default setting. Is libgfapi considered safe and stable to use in ovirt 4.3 hci?

Hi! I have tested also with last version of Ovirt 4.4, and I see that writing speed in 4 times more then with fuse. I think this is important reason to support snapshots with Libgfapi. Regards, Alex

Node 4.4.6 and Gluster deployment issues
by coradat＠gmail.com 01 Jul '21

01 Jul '21

Been beating my head against this for a while, but I'm having issues deploying a new 4.4.6 node hyperconverged cluster. It's a homelab/dev environment, so it's on pretty outdated hardware, SuperMicro X8DTT based systems. No on board raid controller, so that should help at least. Storage drives are a software raid 0 of two 1T SSDs at /dev/md/ovstore and disk traffic is on a separate network from management traffic; ssh-copy-id was run for both interfaces. It looks like it fails when trying to create the volume group on the VDO but I cannot figure out why it's excluded. /etc/lvm/lvm.conf is (should be) default from the install, raid is formatted with no partitions, and I've done a wipefs on the raid. I've been able to complete the same install on these devices with Node 4.3.9, but not 4.4.6. Logs are available at https://pastebin.com/yBzUpe3c

libvirt 7.4 update breaking ovirt 4.4.6 on centos 8 stream
by Klaas Demter 29 Jun '21

29 Jun '21

Hi, I updated packages on my system today and ovirt is no longer starting, turns out this is happening because of a selinux denial for a new feature of libvirt-7.4.0-1.el8s.x86_64 https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1966842 a workaround is suggested in the ticket or you can set selinux to permissive until selinux-policy is updated. Greetings Klaas

OVF_STORE update error
by whiteplant02＠gmail.com 29 Jun '21

29 Jun '21

hi. I use automatic translation, not English as my main language. Please note that this is a difficult expression to understand. I have an NFS storage domain that I used with ovirt 4.4 and I imported it with oracle linux virtualization manager 4.3. As a result, OVF_STORE fails to update. Failed to update VMs/Templates OVF data for Storage Domain [Domain Name] in Data Center [DC Name]. Failed to update OVF disks [OVF_STORE1_diskID],[OVF_STORE2_diskID], OVF data ins't updated on those OVF stores (Data Center [DC Name], Storage Domain [Domain Name]). In addition, there was the following log. [org.ovirt.engine.core.bll.storage.ovfstore.UploadStreamCommant] (EE-ManagedThreadFactory-engineScheduled-Thread-100) [4859c0db] Validation of action 'UploadStream' failed for user SYSTEM. Reasons: VAR__TYPE__STORAGE__DOMAIN,ACTION_TYPE_FAILED_DISK_VOLUME_TYPE_UNSUPPORTED,$volumeTypeSparse,$supportedVolumeTypes Preallocated With ovirt 4.4, OVF STORE is created with thin provisioning. With olvm4.3, I think the problem is that OVF_STORE is created in Preallocated. Is there a way to fix it while the virtual machine is still running? Thank you.

Host reinstall from engine
by Harry O 28 Jun '21

28 Jun '21

Hi, Should the engine not deploy gluster when host reinstall is ran? How do I deploy my gluster setup on a replacement node replacing a dead node?
