moving VMs from old oVirt to new
by Diggy Mc 14 Aug '24

14 Aug '24

Since export domains have been deprecated starting with oVirt v4.4, what is the preferred/best method for moving VMs from an old oVirt environment into a new oVirt environment? The two environments are totally independent of each other and therefore need an intermediary.

VM start order
by Sergei Panchenko 13 Aug '24

13 Aug '24

Good morning! Is there any way to configure VM start order? For example, I would like to make it so VM3 starts only after VM2 starts and VM2 starts only after VM1 starts. I know about run/migrate priority, but it is the other scenario.

REST API query events by Date/Time
by itsavant＠gmail.com 13 Aug '24

13 Aug '24

After looking through all the documentation here: https://ovirt.github.io/ovirt-engine-api-model/4.5 I don't see a way to query the REAST API for events GET /ovirt-engine/api/events;from={event_id}?search={query} by datetime Any ideas would be great. Also bonus question I do see that I can query by a set of objects (like cluster, data_center, storage_domain, etc) like this: GET "ovirt-engine/api/events?search=$($Item)%3D$($SearchText)" however searching by "host" kicks out an error, I'm wondering if there is a code error in the DB or the REST engine. Thoughts?

Linux virtual desktop get reboot if we migrate from 1 ovhost to another ovhost inside Ovirt 4.4 cluster
by aprameyan a.r 06 Aug '24

06 Aug '24

Hello All, we have Ovirt 4.4 cluster running with 25 OVHOST servers handling 800+ users' Virtual desktops. - All users VDT are running with CentOS OS. - before we were using CentOS for the OVHOST server as we don't have support, now we are using ALMA8.6 for the base OS & updating Ovirt 4.4 packages. - now we are seeing a new issue if we migrate any user's VDT between the OVHOSt server. user VDT is rebooting & coming up on the new server.. Let us know if anyone is seeing this kind of issue on the Ovirt cluster.

Unable to add logical interface
by Jeremy Tourville 30 Jul '24

30 Jul '24

List: I have a single host that was added to my cluster and operational. My management engine is running in a separate, dedicated pc. When making some network changes and testing them, I made the mistake of removing the virtual interface using nmtui on the host. Now when I try to add the logical network to the host again, I get an error message: "Operation cancelled Error while executing action: Cannot setup Networks. Operation can be performed only when Host status is Maintenance, Up, Non-Operational." My host is configured so that: Eth0 is ovirtmgmt Eth1 is storage The system is hyperconverged. I am getting the correct IP/subnets on each NIC. What do I need to do to add the logical network back to the host?

Recommendation for iSCSI configuration
by De Lee 30 Jul '24

30 Jul '24

Hi, I'm currently running the platform with following version and facing the issue with iSCSI timeout issue during the network switch maintenance. oVirt Version 4.5 oVirt manager : Redhat 9.0 oVirt node : Rocky 9.4 Here's a drawing of the topology: +---------------+ | Storage | +---------------+ 192.168.11.2 | | 192.168.11.1 | | 10GbE Links | | +---------------+ +---------------+ | Nexus 5k #1 | | Nexus 5k #2 | +---------------+ +---------------+ 192.168.11.3 | | 192.168.11.4 | | 10GbE Links | | +---------------+ | oVirt 4.5 | +---------------+ VLANx: 192.168.11.3/28 VLANx: 192.168.11.4/28 I've configured the oVirt nodes without bonding,it works like one NIC assigned with vLANX with IP .3 and another NIC assigned with vLANX with IP .4. I could see actively only NIC is utilizing the iSCSI traffic(without ISCSI Bond). I would like to utilize both NIC traffic Active-Active mode what is the topology to follow? [iSCSI in LACP is not recommended for iscsi traffic which read from blog].Correct me if I'm wrong. When actively used NIC connected switch reboot,the iscsi traffic which over to another nic takes almost 30 seconds.Can I reduce the failover of NIC timing from 30 seconds to 3 seconds something like that? I don't see the lapsed timeout behaviour in CentOS 8 but rocky9 behaviors differently. Any suggestions or recommendation?

Why all environment fall if one storage domain going down?
by Kalil de A. Carvalho 29 Jul '24

29 Jul '24

Hello all. Can any one tell me why all environment fall if we lost one domain storage? In my company we have many NFS storages and if just one going down, been rebooted, all host fail. What we realized, I do not know if it is true, is if one host can´t communicate with the storage it will be rebooted or if the use of memory is too high it will be rebooted too. Are those two impressions real? Best regards -- Atenciosamente, Kalil de A. Carvalho

Re: Problem with OVF and Bad Volume Specification

I could mount the storage domain on 4.4, but the VM and Template imports were blank.

But as i said before, i'm moving between same 4.5 DC. Not different one.
