Single Node Hyperconverged - Failing Engine Deployment - Network setup?
by jhamiltonactually＠gmail.com 15 Feb '21

15 Feb '21

Ovirt newbie here - installing v 4.4.4 (well, trying to!) Following my post about failing Gluster setup, I can't get the self hosted engine to deploy. I'm installing on my HP DL380p G6. I have 2 disk 170GB Raid 0 for OS and 6 x 330GB disk Raid 5 for Gluster. DNS all set up, but Im realizing I'm missing something here. I have a feeling my problems with Gluster/Engine were caused by incorrect network setup. Seems I'm not the 1st to fall at this hurdle - some people in the community are saying RH have made it's deliberately difficult to get these 'free' set-ups working. It does feel a little like that! Most instructions just say that a 'self hosted, hyperconverged, single node setup requires 2 nics' - and that's about it! That is the 'Networking Pre-requisites'! I've had some help on here and Reddit which eventually made me find a solution some had had to use - editing lvm.conf to make sure my drive (sdb) was being blacklisted correctly. So, with that, Gluster installs, with following DNS settings: The kvm host (ovirt-kvm.whichelo.com) is fixed ip 192.168.0.40 on my 1st nic (Enp0s7) ovirt-engine.whichelo.com - 192.168.0.50 and ovirt-gluster.whichelo.com on 192.168.0.60 - I created I VLAN linked to the nic i want to use for gluster (Enp0s8) and gluster install worked. So now hosted engine won't install,, and pretty sure it's because I don't know how to set the network up properly. I'm seeing virbr0 coming up with different ip's - sometimes 192.168.1.1, sometimes 192.168.222.1. From what I've read, this is something to do with the Engine's network, but I really don't know! Am I still missing something? I can't find any decent instructions on how to do this - how (exactly) to configure the 2 'minimum required' nics? I came to Ovirt after realizing Oracle were dumping their own Virtualization platform in favour of KVM. Couldn't set it up from Oracle so moved to Red Hat - that was a no, and I was at the point where it made most sense to just run an Ovirt node for my KVM. I've got much further with Ovirt, but instructions do not work as easily as they looked! (example 'just click on single node hyperconverged' which didn't work straight off the bat until removing that LVM filter, which took days to find out! The single node HC server is a great match for a home lab/server like mine. I don't want another server, let alone another 2! I'm doing this partly as hobby, but also to update my skills during lockdown. Surely if we can get people using things like this at home, they're more likely to end up using it for work one day? Any help, or just pointing in the right direction, gratefully received! Hopefully I'm a biit clearer here. Happy to provide any logs or anything else.... Thank you!

What will be the impact if we do CIS hardening for Ovirt Engine ? . Systems will be run as we expected ?

Re: ovirt_host_network -> networks: pass list

The following works, however it is looping through the whole routine for each and every VLAN which is a bit sad when the routine itself supports multiple additions in one go, I just can't see how to automatically populate the yml list under the "networks:" parameter. - name: Add Networks to Hosts ovirt_host_network: auth: "{{ ovirt_auth }}" state: present name: "{{ item[0] }}" interface: "bond0" networks: - name: "{{ item[1] }}" wait: true with_nested: - "{{ groups['kvm'] }}" - "{{ groups['net'] }}" Cheers Angus ________________________________ From: Angus Clarke <angus(a)charworth.com> Sent: 14 February 2021 18:07 To: users(a)ovirt.org <users(a)ovirt.org> Subject: ovirt_host_network -> networks: pass list Hello I can see some examples of what I am trying to understand, but I'm still not quite clear, perhaps someone can help?

VM stuck in reboot
by Michael Schmid 14 Feb '21

14 Feb '21

Hi All, I am running on 4.4.4.7-1.el8 I messed up. I was doing some weekend maintenance on VMs and some VMs needed to be stopped and some rebooted and I stopped one, thought I clicked on the next one and clicked shutdown. But... I clicked reboot and shutdown on the same VM, now it is stuck. The Overview in the engine shows the VM "Reboot In Progress" and it has for two weeks at this point, it was a fresh VM so I just created a new one until I had this figured out, but here I am. Clicking "Shutdown" does nothing but generate an error, same with "Power Off" the error I get is --- 2021-02-10 12:04:03,460-05 INFO [org.ovirt.engine.core.bll.StopVmCommand] (EE-ManagedThreadFactory-engine-Thread-244169) [c3ce0a41-3f53-4f3e-993f-0d75f62cc8e6] Running command: StopVmCommand internal: false.

Cockpit and Gluster
by C Williams 14 Feb '21

14 Feb '21

Hello, I have a hardware RAID 10 array and want to use Cockpit to deploy a hosted engine with replica 3 Gluster. Should I pick the JBOD option for this ? Will my disk alignments be correct for my PVs, VGs, LVs and xfs formatting? I don't see RAID 10. I see where it was removed in 4.2.8 -- I think. Thank You All For Your Help !

strange behavior of fresh ovirt setup..

Justas Stankūnas <stankunas.justas(a)gmail.com> Wed, Feb 10, 11:29 PM (10 hours ago) to infra-owner Hi, so i have just installed oVirt on 4 nodes (oVirt node 4.4.4) with a hosted engine. For storage I have TrueNAS dedicated machine for NFS. hosts are all identical Lenovo thinkcentre m92 with (Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-3470T CPU @ 2.90GHz and 16 GB of RAM). everything is connected with a physical managed switch over 1Gbps each. everything is setup without any additional configuration.

export a VM to export domain in 4.4.4
by Gianluca Cecchi 12 Feb '21

12 Feb '21

Hello, in 4.4.4 I see that I can import from export domain, but if I select "export VM" I can only export to a storage domain.... is this by design? What if I want to export from 4.4.4 and import into an older oVirt version? Thanks, Gianluca

One possibly major difference is that hardware has multiple ifaces as oppose to single iface in KVM. For any thoughts you care to share I'll be grateful. thanks, L

lxd, openvz in kvm have issues connecting to public phys network
by david duchovny 12 Feb '21

12 Feb '21

hi ovirt 444 lxd, openvz in kvm have issues connecting to public network i can't to allow access to physical interface. In general i cannot seem to get containers direct access to the network e.g. in order to pull a dhcp address from my public network. I have tried macvlan, bridge mode, openvswitch as well. there are no connection issues on the baremetal server, but this issue exists on the kvm vm how to fix it?
