Storage Solution for Ovirt4.5
by Ankit Sharma 30 May '24

30 May '24

Hi Guys, I am using Ovirt4.3 with 5 hosts and SAN for 10 years and now looking for upgrade to it on latest version. Now i want to use server as storage instead of SAN due to economic reasons. So, i have used tgt/target-cli and created LUNs for storage and access through iscsi and everything seems well. Would it be a good solution? Also what could be possible limitation and disadvantage over to SAN box? Thanks. AS

I believe all you should need to do is run engine-setup --offline On Sat, May 25, 2024 at 10:14 AM Bogdan Dumitrescu via Users < users(a)ovirt.org> wrote: > Need some help with the renewal of the ssl certificate (I believe it is a > self-signed cert )that is about to expire in a month, this is a standalone > ovirt engine running software Version:4.3.4.3-1.el7.

Re: [External] : Importing VMs from CentOS 8 Streams to Oracle 8.9 oVirt (QXL issues)
by Gilboa Davara 18 May '24

18 May '24

Hello, Thanks for the prompt reply. Can I somehow modify the VM configuration on disk (v5 data storage on an NFS share) before importing the VM (using Storage domain / NFS / VM import). Alternatively can I somehow get OLVM to ignore the error when trying to import the VM, and use the UI to switch VGA/VNC? - Gilboa On Thu, May 16, 2024 at 3:55 PM Marcos Sungaila via Users <users(a)ovirt.org> wrote: > Hi Gilboa, > > > > The spice protocol has been deprecated by Red Hat for over 3 years.

Importing VMs from CentOS 8 Streams to Oracle 8.9 oVirt (QXL issues)
by Gilboa Davara 16 May '24

16 May '24

Hello all, I'm evaluating switching our existing oVirt clusters to Oracle Linux 8 oVirt 4.5. It seems that Oracle has completely disabled QXL/Spice (leaving only VGA and Cirrus) on their oVirt fork (1). I'm trying to import a VM from an existing oVirt data storage into an Oracle cluster, but I'm getting 'VAR__ACTION__IMPORT,VAR__TYPE__VM,ACTION_TYPE_FAILED_ILLEGAL_VM_DISPLAY_TYPE_IS_NOT_SUPPORTED_BY_OS' error. Comparing the spice-related packages in Oracle and CentOS based oVirt installation, I see no changes. Two questions: 1. Can I somehow enable QXL support in Oracle oVirt? 2. Assuming I can't, can I somehow editing the VM configuration without mounting in a temporary CentOS based cluster, editing the configuration and reimporting it into Oracle? Thanks, Gilboa 1) https://forums.oracle.com/ords/apexds/post/olvm-ol8-spice-support-completel…

Hi Everyone, Initially, In ovirt host machine qemu-kvm is running in 5901,5902,5903,5904,5906 and 5907. But suddenly, It has now running with additional ports 5900 and 5905. Can anyone know why this kind of ports ovirt is newly adding without any actions taking in machines. I Didn't restart any services in host machines.

Ovirt standalone engine ssl cert is about to expire
by Bogdan Dumitrescu 15 May '24

15 May '24

Need some help with the renewal of the ssl certificate (I believe it is a self-signed cert )that is about to expire in a month, this is a standalone ovirt engine running software Version:4.3.4.3-1.el7. The certificate was good for 5 years and it is about to expire. As I understand correctly, this certificate is for the https access for the management page. Can this be done on a running system without affecting any hosts or VMs? Any instructions for the standalone ovirt engine scenario that you guys can share? Thanks a lot, Software Version:4.3.4.3-1.el7
