Host has to be reinstalled
by Jeremey Wise 23 Sep '20

23 Sep '20

Trying to repair / clean up HCI deployment so it is HA and ready for "production". I have gluster now showing three bricks all green Now I just have error on node.. and of course the node which is hosting the ovirt-engine # (as I can not send images to this forum... I will move to a breadcrumb posting) Compute -> Hosts -> "thor" (red exclamation) "Host has to be reinstalled" To fix gluster... i had to reinstall "vdsm-gluster" But what package does this error need to be reviewed / fixed with? -- penguinpages

CLI for HCI setup
by Michael Thomas 23 Sep '20

23 Sep '20

Is there a CLI for setting up a hyperconverged environment with glusterfs? The docs that I've found detail how to do it using the cockpit interface[1], but I'd prefer to use a cli similar to 'hosted-engine --deploy' if it is available. Thanks, --Mike [1]https://www.ovirt.org/documentation/gluster-hyperconverged/chap-Deploying…

info on iSCSI connection setup in oVirt 4.4
by Gianluca Cecchi 23 Sep '20

23 Sep '20

Hello, supposing to have a node that connects to an iSCSI storage domain in oVirt 4.4, is there any particular requirement in the configuration of the network adapter (ifcfg-eno1 file) when I pre-configure the server OS? Eg, do I need to have it managed by NetworkManager in 4.4? Can I instead set NM_CONTROLLED=no for this controller? Thanks in advance, Gianluca

Question on "Memory" column/field in Virtual Machines list/table in ovirt GUI
by KISHOR K 23 Sep '20

23 Sep '20

Hi, Memory field/column for few of VMs in our ovirt (Compute -> Virtual Machines -> Memory column) shows more than 90%. But, when I checked (from free and also other commands) the actual "used" memory by those VMs, it is less than 60%. What I see (from free -h) is that ovirt seems to be considering both "used" + "buff/cache" memory and is reporting the same in GUI. Isn't it the "available" memory that should be considered, because that is the actual memory available and cache memory is something that is adjusted every time? :~> free -h total used free shared buff/cache available Mem: 15Gi 6.8Gi 724Mi 310Mi 8.1Gi 9.2Gi Swap: 0B 0B 0B Can someone help to answer. Thanks ! /Kishore

console breaks with signed SSL certs
by Philip Brown 23 Sep '20

23 Sep '20

Chrome didnt want to talk AT ALL to ovirt with self-signed certs (Because HSTS is enabled) So I installed signed wildcard certs to the engine, and the nodes, following http://187.1.81.65/ovirt-engine/docs/manual/en-US/html/Administration_Guide… and https://cockpit-project.org/guide/172/https.html and chrome is happy now... except that suddenly, consoles refuse to work. and there are no useful errors that I see, other than "Unable to connect to the graphic server" from the remote viewer app. I see someone not too long ago had the exact same problem, in https://www.mail-archive.com/users@ovirt.org/msg58814.html but.. no answer was given to him?

oVirt - KVM QCow2 Import
by Jeremey Wise 22 Sep '20

22 Sep '20

I rebuilt my lab environment. And their are four or five VMs that really would help if I did not have to rebuild. oVirt as I am now finding when it creates infrastructure, sets it out such that I cannot just use older means of placing .qcow2 files in folders and .xml files in other folders.... and they show up on services restarting. How do I import VMs from files? I found this article but implies VM is running: https://www.ovirt.org/develop/release-management/features/virt/KvmToOvirt.h… https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_virtualization/4.1/ht… I need a way to import a file. Even if it means temporarily hosting on "KVM on one of the hosts to then bring in once it is up. Thanks -- penguinpages

I would not be wrong but it is not possible to switch from Centos7 to Centos8 .....Can anyone give me some advice?Thank you all!!!

VM stuck in "reboot in progress" ("virtual machine XXX should be running in a host but it isn't.").
by Gilboa Davara 22 Sep '20

22 Sep '20

Hello all (and happy new year), (Note: Also reported as https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1880251) Self hosted engine, single node, NFS. Attempted to install CentOS over an existing Fedora VM with one host device (USB printer). Reboot failed, trying to boot from a non-existent CDROM. Tried shutting the VM down, failed. Tried powering off the VM, failed. Dropped cluster to global maintenance, reboot host + engine (was planning to upgrade it anyhow...), VM still stuck. When trying to power off the VM, the following message can be found the in engine.log: 2020-09-18 07:58:51,439+03 INFO [org.ovirt.engine.core.bll.StopVmCommand] (EE-ManagedThreadFactory-engine-Thread-42) [7bc4ac71-f0b2-4af7-b081-100dc99b6123] Running command: StopVmCommand internal: false.

My question is simple: Pending a solution to the bug, can I somehow drop the state of the VM? It's currently holding a sizable disk image and a USB device I need (printer). As it's my private VM cluster, I have no problem dropping the site completely for maintenance. Thanks, Gilboa

Hello All, I would like to ask how to proceed further. Here is what I have done so far on my ovirt 4.3.10: 1. Set in maintenance and detached my Gluster-based storage domain 2. Did some maintenance on the gluster 3. Reattached and activated my Gluster-based storage domain 4. I have imported my ISOs via the Disk Import tab in UI Next I tried to import the VM Disks , but they are unavailable in the disk tab So I tried to import the VM: 1. First try - import with partial -> failed due to MAC conflict 2. Second try - import with partial , allow MAC reassignment -> failed as VM id exists -> recommends to remove the original VM 3. I tried to detach the VMs disks , so I can delete it - but this is not possible as the Vm already got a snapshot. What is the proper way to import my non-OS disks (data domain is slower but has more space which is more suitable for "data") ? Best Regards, Strahil Nikolov
