oVirt 4.4.5 Seventh Release Candidate is now available for testing The oVirt Project is pleased to announce the availability of oVirt 4.4.5 Seventh Release Candidate for testing, as of February 25th, 2021. This update is the fifth in a series of stabilization updates to the 4.4 series. How to prevent hosts entering emergency mode after upgrade from oVirt 4.4.1 Note: Upgrading from 4.4.2 GA or later should not require re-doing these steps, if already performed while upgrading from 4.4.1 to 4.4.2 GA. These are only required to be done once. Due to Bug 1837864 <https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1837864> - Host enter emergency mode after upgrading to latest build If you have your root file system on a multipath device on your hosts you should be aware that after upgrading from 4.4.1 to 4.4.5 you may get your host entering emergency mode. In order to prevent this be sure to upgrade oVirt Engine first, then on your hosts: 1. Remove the current lvm filter while still on 4.4.1, or in emergency mode (if rebooted). 2. Reboot. 3. Upgrade to 4.4.5 (redeploy in case of already being on 4.4.5). 4. Run vdsm-tool config-lvm-filter to confirm there is a new filter in place. 5. Only if not using oVirt Node: - run "dracut --force --add multipath” to rebuild initramfs with the correct filter configuration 6. Reboot. 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>. Important notes before you try it Please note this is a pre-release build. The oVirt Project makes no guarantees as to its suitability or usefulness. This pre-release must not be used in production. Installation instructions For installation instructions and additional information please refer to: https://ovirt.org/documentation/ This release is available now on x86_64 architecture for: * Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.3 or newer * CentOS Linux (or similar) 8.3 or newer This release supports Hypervisor Hosts on x86_64 and ppc64le architectures for: * Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.3 or newer * CentOS Linux (or similar) 8.3 or newer * oVirt Node 4.4 based on CentOS Linux 8.3 (available for x86_64 only) See the release notes [1] for installation instructions and a list of new features and bugs fixed.

Starting a defined VM on a different host
by lavi.buchnik＠exlibrisgroup.com 25 Feb '21

25 Feb '21

Hi, I might be missing something here, but I'm looking for the right API way to start a defined VM on a different host. The scenario is this: 1. VM is running under Cluster Affinity Host. and there is a need to cold migrate it to another host on that Affinity. 2. for that I will stop the VM. 3. And now I would like to start the VM on another host, I tried few ways like: vm_service.start( vm=types.Vm( host=types.Host( name='<host name>' ), ) ) But VM keep starting on the current host. Can you please show me the right way to do it. Thanks, Lavi

So the client browser is remote, and the Cockpit is accessed from a public IP address. Is that the problem? --- Is there a way to do the 3 node HC from the command line? I see no other error than that, where are the actual logs? Thanks!

Python SDK - get host VM is running on.
by darkman0101＠hotmail.com 25 Feb '21

25 Feb '21

I am having some issues figuring out how to get a list of VMs and the host that they are running on. I seem to be able to get a reference to the host object, but can't see how to print the name of the host. See the below code snippet: #! /usr/bin/python import ovirtsdk4 as sdk import ovirtsdk4.types as types connection = sdk.Connection( url='https:/<redacted>:443/ovirt-engine/api', username='admin@internal', password='<redacted>', ca_file='ovirt-engine_ca.crt', ) vms_service = connection.system_service().vms_service() vms = vms_service.list() for vm in vms: print("VM.name = " + vm.name) vm_service = vms_service.vm_service(vm.id) #vm = vm_service.get() print(vm.status) if vm.name == 'vmexample': print("HERE") print(vm.host) print(vm.host.name) connection.close() OUTPUT: VM.name = vmexample up HERE <ovirtsdk4.types.Host object at 0x7f5ca250e810> None What am I missing? Thanks, Jason

Q35: disk type view not consistent in edit vm and new disk pages
by Gianluca Cecchi 24 Feb '21

24 Feb '21

Hello, if I create a VM and select Q35 machine type, still the General --> create image option in edit phase doesn't show sata as an option. Even if I create the VM without disks and then go to edit General --> create, I only see IDE, VirtIO-SCSI and VirtIO. Instead if I click VM name, DIsks --> New, I can select VirtIO-SCSI, VirtIO and SATA After the first disk (SATA in my case) has been created, now if I go and edit VM --> General --> Instance Images + --> Create, I see consistent options. I think GUI experience could be improved. Also because I can reproduce this workflow converging to an error (even if IDE disks are not so common nowadays...): New VM In general I create an IDE disk In System I select in Advanced parameters, Custom Chipset/Firmware Type Q35 (EFI or BIOS based) go ahead At the final OK I get the error: Cannot add Virtual Disk: The disk interface is not supported by the VM OS: Other OS. The result is VM created but without the IDE disk as not supported in Q35 type. Tested in 4.4.4 Gianluca

Cannot add VM. Maximum number of threads per cpu exceeded
by Lavi.Buchnik＠exlibrisgroup.com 24 Feb '21

24 Feb '21

Hi, We have a strange thing, which not clear to us. When provisioning a new VM via REST API, if the number of vCPU for that VM is more than 16, I'm getting this error: Fault reason is "Operation Failed". Fault detail is "[Cannot add VM. Maximum number of threads per cpu exceeded]". HTTP response code is 409. Our version is: Version 4.3.6.6-1.0.9.el7 Note that manual provisioning from the UI do not produce any error when using vCPU > 16. It seems like the issue is related to this setting (from the engine): [root@olvmengine01 ~]# engine-config -g MaxNumOfThreadsPerCpu MaxNumOfThreadsPerCpu: 8 version: 4.1 MaxNumOfThreadsPerCpu: 8 version: 4.2 MaxNumOfThreadsPerCpu: 8 version: 4.3 [root@olvmengine01 ~]# But when trying to set it to another number, I'm always get this error, for example: [root@olvmengine01 ~]# engine-config -s MaxNumOfThreadsPerCpu=10 Please select a version: 1. 4.1 2. 4.2 3. 4.3 3 Cannot set value 10 to key MaxNumOfThreadsPerCpu. Questions: 1. Can you please explain why we getting this error: "Cannot add VM. Maximum number of threads per cpu exceeded"? 2. Is it related to engine-config -g MaxNumOfThreadsPerCpu? 3. Why it is working manually via the UI? 4. if its related to engine-config, why we can't set it to another number? Thanks in advance, Lavi

VM Portal. User can't access the details box
by Nicolás 24 Feb '21

24 Feb '21

Hi, We're running oVirt 4.1.8. We make an intense use of the VM Portal, as our students use it to access and handle their machines. We're currently having an issue with just one of our users. He claims that he created a VM, and when tried to edit its details (clicking on the pencil), a screen stating that the "VM Portal is experiencing some issues" is shown (screenshot added). I granted a UserRole permission on a user I handle, and I don't experience that problem, I can edit the VM with no issues. The user also states that this happens on any VM he creates. I see nothing relevant in the log regarding this issue. Please, any hint how to debug this? Thanks. Nicolás

oVirt Ansible cluster deployment
by Jeremey Wise 24 Feb '21

24 Feb '21

I am trying to eat own dog food. Infrastructure as code... So.. I have taken three physical servers. Setup all the base packages, set NICs, NTP, DNS, collected disk UUIDs etc.. The servers are prepped. And one server has cockpit and ovirt-engine installed... and service started. ############################# --- # This task takes nodes prepaired and deploys cockpit, ovirt deployment and scripts cluster initilization.

Which is ... what I would do in the wizard... ... but "step away from the mouse". # Ansible section: from bastion node (laptop windows 10 WSL with ansible and galaxy installed # 1) build playbook from my site variables... based on some ovirt master sharing template of what that UI builds # 2) push the playbook that installs ansible on the first node. Install ansible as a first node... Run ansible playbook from customized template file # 3) Create vlans. # 4) Setup new VM gluster shared volume from three other disk # 5) Push a template VM into cluster, attached to new VLAN and attached to new volume #6) Deploy VM from this template #7) Drink a cold beer ############################### Question: 1) Can you do ansible deployment from "bastion host" or does the ansible have to run on the node that is installed with the "ovirt-engine". If so.. how do you collect feedback etc.. 2) I assume there is a template. Maybe it is published but I could not find it. That I replace (or match) variables of my site that fill in that file. 3) I installed galaxy oVirt.ovirt-ansible-roles but.. how do I know it is deployed on my bastion host? I poked around in the ansible folder.. not seeing anything. And I assume this only is of help POST the above seven steps being done. But maybe this has deployment components and I am missing documents. Thanks, -- p <jeremey.wise(a)gmail.com>enguinpages
