TroubleshootingoVirt Node deploy FQDN not reachable
by David White 27 Aug '20

27 Aug '20

In a recent thread, Roberto mentioned seeing the error message "FQDN Not Reachable" when trying to deploy oVirt Node 4.4.1, but was able to get past that error when using ovirt-node-ng-installer-4.4.2-2020080612.el8.iso. I experienced the same problems on oVirt Node install 4.4.1, so I tried the latest release of 4.4.2. When that failed, I went back and installed from the exact same image as Roberto said worked on the 4.4.2 branch: ovirt-node-ng-installer-4.4.2-2020080612.el8.iso Unfortunately, that's still not working for me - so that tells me I'm probably doing something wrong. Given the following facts: [root@dev1-centos ~]# hostname dev1-centos.office.barredowlweb.com [root@dev1-centos ~]# host dev1-centos.office.barredowlweb.com dev1-centos.office.barredowlweb.com has address 192.168.2.96 I am trying to install oVirt using the Hyperconverged Gluster Wizard for a Single Node. In the "Host1" box, I enter the full hostname: dev1-centos.office.barredowlweb.com And that's when I get the FQDN error message. Am I missing something here? Sent with ProtonMail Secure Email.

Is the Hosted Engine setup finished + Can't connect vdsm storage

Hi, We have 6 node oVirt setup with Compatibility version 4.3 running on CentOS 7.6.1810 Recently We have found out some very interesting log entries on a few of our nodes. /var/log/ovirt-hosted-engine-ha/broker.log: MainThread::INFO::2020-08-27 12:51:50,279::storage_backends::345::ovirt_hosted_engine_ha.lib.storage_backends::(connect) Connecting the storage MainThread::INFO::2020-08-27 12:51:50,280::storage_server::349::ovirt_hosted_engine_ha.lib.storage_server.StorageServer::(connect_storage_server) Connecting storage server MainThread::warning::2020-08-27 12:51:50,284::storage_broker::97::ovirt_hosted_engine_ha.broker.storage_broker.StorageBroker::(__init__) Can't connect vdsm storage: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'startswith' /var/log/messages Aug 27 12:52:11 ildeco25 vdsm[6909]: ERROR failed to retrieve Hosted Engine HA score '[Errno 2] No such file or directory'Is the Hosted Engine setup finished? We have inherited that setup from the previous team but I'm fairly certain the the Hosted Engine setup is finished. Also, this line is not present on all hosts.

Host has no default route
by Wesley Stewart 27 Aug '20

27 Aug '20

I am trying to add a host to a single host cluster. Everything has gone pretty well so far, except when the host gets to the end of the installation process, I see an exclamation mark indicating "Host has no default route". The installation "finishes" and the host goes into a non-responsive state. I am not really sure where to check. I get a: host *name* installation has failed. Network error during communication with host. Running 4.3.6 Thanks!

LDAP/AD issue
by kim.kargaard＠noroff.no 26 Aug '20

26 Aug '20

Hi all, We have had our ovirt instance connected to our internal AD for users to log into the VM portal for the last year, linked to studentdomene.noroff.no. This has been working without any problems. We had it set up and the DNS server had a forward record to the DC's. All good. Then, of course, the institution decided to introduce student emails and they decided to add the domain stud.noroff.no for student emails and made this the primary domain in the AD. The problem is that when this is changed, students can no longer log into the engine. I have of course changed the ldap settings and added a forward record on the DNS to the new domain. However, it seems that the domain is studentdomene.noroff.no, but with an added UPN suffix with stud.noroff.no When students try to log in, with the config changes, they get this error in the browser: server_error: An error occurred while attempting to query DNS in order to retrieve SRV records with name '_ldap._tcp.stud.noroff.no': NameNotFoundException(DNS name not found [response code 3]), ldapSDKVersion=4.0.7, revision=b28fb50058dfe2864171df2448ad2ad2b4c2ad58 Any ideas on how to solve this issue? My config looks like this: sudo cat /etc/ovirt-engine/aaa/Students.properties [sudo] password for noroffadmin: include = <ad.properties> vars.domain = studentdomene.noroff.no vars.user = CN=ovirt auth,CN=Users,DC=stud,DC=noroff,DC=no vars.password = PASSWORD pool.default.auth.simple.bindDN = ${global:vars.user} pool.default.auth.simple.password = ${global:vars.password} pool.default.serverset.type = srvrecord pool.default.serverset.srvrecord.domain = ${global:vars.domain} my forward on the DNS server looks like this: sudo cat /etc/named/named.conf.local [sudo] password for noroffadmin: zone "platform.noroff.no"{ type master; file "/etc/named/zones/db.platform.noroff.no"; # zone file path }; zone "stud.noroff.no" { type forward; forward only; forwarders { 172.24.111.20; 172.27.111.20; 172.21.111.20; 172.16.111.20; }; }; zone "studentdomene.noroff.no" { type forward; forward only; forwarders { 172.24.111.20; 172.27.111.20; 172.21.111.20; 172.16.111.20; }; }; zone "122.16.172.in-addr.arpa" { type master; file "/etc/named/zones/db.122.16.172"; # 172.16.122.0/24 subnet }; Any pointers would be greatly appreciated :) Kim

oVirt SHE smart-automated backup
by Vrgotic, Marko 26 Aug '20

26 Aug '20

Dear oVirt, For a while now I have been running backup of oVirt engine via ansible. And that works just fine. However, its still recommended, in SHE HA environment, especially for Restore purpose to have one of HA nodes in Maintenance mode, clean from Virtual load. Has anyone so far been able to automate oVirt engine backup in following or similar way: 1. Register on which HA node is SHE atm 2. Pick the other HA node to go into maintenance mode – in order to have one of HA nodes without virtual load 3. Verify it’s in maintenance mode 4. Execute engine-backup 5. Remove the maintenance mode of the node from step 2 Even if you are half way through, I would be happy to get involved and contribute. Kindly awaiting your reply. ----- kind regards/met vriendelijke groeten Marko Vrgotic Sr. System Engineer @ System Administration ActiveVideo e: m.vrgotic(a)activevideo.com<mailto:m.vrgotic@activevideo.com> w: www.activevideo.com<http://www.activevideo.com> ActiveVideo Networks BV.

oVirt HCI 4.4.1 DR cannot import target volume after disaster
by wodel youchi 25 Aug '20

25 Aug '20

Hi, I have installed two HCI platforms. Then I set up the disaster-recovery configuration On source platform I did : # gluster volume set all cluster.enable-shared-storage enable # gluster system:: execute gsec_create # gluster volume geo-replication *source* gnodesen2-01.example.com::dest create push-pem # gluster volume geo-replication *source* gnodesen2-01.example.com::dest config use_meta_volume true On target platform I did : # gluster volume set *dest* features.shard enable I then realized these two tests : *1 - Sync data using the schedule_georep.py* a - Use the : "python3 /usr/share/glusterfs/scripts/schedule_georep.py source gnodesen2-01.example.com dest " command to sync data between the volumes b - After the sync is complete, execute "gluster volume dest set features.read-only off" c - Execute *import* (not create) *dest* volume on the target platform manually through the Admin-UI, Result : The domain could not be added and I get this error on vdsm log : " 2020-08-24 10:18:05,644+0100 ERROR (jsonrpc/5) [storage.HSM] Unexpected error (hsm:2843) Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/vdsm/storage/sd.py", line 456, in getVersion version = self.getMetaParam(DMDK_VERSION) File "/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/vdsm/storage/sd.py", line 452, in getMetaParam return self._metadata[key] File "/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/vdsm/storage/persistent.py", line 114, in __getitem__ return dec(self._dict[key]) File "/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/vdsm/storage/persistent.py", line 225, in __getitem__ return self._metadata[key] KeyError: 'VERSION' During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/vdsm/storage/hsm.py", line 2829, in getStorageDomainsList dom = sdCache.produce(sdUUID=sdUUID) File "/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/vdsm/storage/sdc.py", line 115, in produce domain.getRealDomain() File "/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/vdsm/storage/sdc.py", line 51, in getRealDomain return self._cache._realProduce(self._sdUUID) File "/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/vdsm/storage/sdc.py", line 139, in _realProduce domain = self._findDomain(sdUUID) File "/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/vdsm/storage/sdc.py", line 156, in _findDomain return findMethod(sdUUID) File "/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/vdsm/storage/glusterSD.py", line 62, in findDomain return GlusterStorageDomain(GlusterStorageDomain.findDomainPath(sdUUID)) File "/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/vdsm/storage/fileSD.py", line 385, in __init__ manifest = self.manifestClass(domainPath) File "/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/vdsm/storage/fileSD.py", line 162, in __init__ sd.StorageDomainManifest.__init__(self, sdUUID, domaindir, metadata) File "/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/vdsm/storage/sd.py", line 352, in __init__ version = self.getVersion() * File "/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/vdsm/storage/sd.py", line 458, in getVersion raise se.MetaDataKeyNotFoundError("key={}".format(DMDK_VERSION))vdsm.storage.exception.MetaDataKeyNotFoundError: Meta Data key not found error: ('key=VERSION',)* 2020-08-24 10:18:05,644+0100 INFO (jsonrpc/5) [vdsm.api] FINISH getStorageDomainsList return={'domlist': []} from=::ffff:10.80.101.27,48282, flow_id=5209d576-ee09-4de3-bc46-0c186c6ad52a, task_id=bc93aaae-5449-4d0d-9884-f47ea542a963 (api:54) 2020-08-24 10:18:05,645+0100 INFO (jsonrpc/5) [jsonrpc.JsonRpcServer] RPC call Host.getStorageDomains succeeded in 3.01 seconds (__init__:312) 2020-08-24 10:18:05,754+0100 INFO (jsonrpc/4) [vdsm.api] START disconnectStorageServer(domType=7, spUUID='00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000', conList=[{'password': '********', 'vfs_type': 'glusterfs', 'port': '', 'mnt_options': 'backup-volfile-servers=10.90.101.23:10.90.101.25', 'iqn': '', 'connection': '10.90.101.21:/dest', 'ipv6_enabled': 'false', 'id': 'cc24df41-19b0-41ed-ae85-e091e40cc612', 'user': '', 'tpgt': '1'}], options=None) from=::ffff:10.80.101.27,48282, flow_id=5fcaf7d7-d3b6-4430-b5f9-28e6bd95656a, task_id=73654a43-c86b-4250-95d7-3e3399e5bc72 (api:48) 2020-08-24 10:18:05,754+0100 INFO (jsonrpc/4) [storage.Mount] unmounting /rhev/data-center/mnt/glusterSD/10.90.101.21:_dest (mount:215) " *Note :* I had to modify the line 105 from /usr/share/glusterfs/scripts/schedule_georep.py to be able to use it with python3 : -

oVirt node 4.4.1 deploy FQDN not reachable
by Roberto Nunin 25 Aug '20

25 Aug '20

Hi all I have an issue while trying to deploy hyperconverged solution on three ovirt node boxes. ISO used is ovirt-node-ng-installer-4.4.1-2020072310.el8.iso. When from cockpit I choose gluster deployment, I have a form where I can insert both gluster fqdn names and public fqdn names (that is what I need, due to distinct network cards & networks) If I insert right names, that are resolved by nodes, I receive, anyway, FQDN is not reachable below Host1 entries. As already stated, these names are certainly resolved by DNS used. Any hints about ? -- Roberto Nunin

Actual oVirt install questions
by David White 25 Aug '20

25 Aug '20

:) Ok, after all of the questions I've pestered you guys with, I'm actually getting started. Thank you all for your help. A few of questions right off the bat. For this install, I'm installing the latest (4.4.2) onto CentOS 8. 1) What's the difference between the `ovirt-hosted-engine-setup` command and the `engine-setup` command? I ran both of them, and it seems like they do the exact same thing. 2) For either of the commands above, I'm able to get as far as the step where it asks about the storage: Please specify the storage you would like to use (glusterfs, iscsi, fc, nfs)[nfs] It's clear to me that using this install method, the storage should be setup first / independently of the installer. So ok, I'll try the Cockpit install, since the documentation says that's the preferred method anyway. (I'm just a sucker for the command line, doing it myself, and understanding everything that I'm doing. I like to avoid GUIs if I can help it. LOL). So I logged into the Cockpit Dashboard at {ip-address}:9090, clicked on 'Virtualization' then clicked on Hosted Engine. Here, I clicked on Hyperconvered, and since I'm just installing to a single host right now, I clicked on Run Gluster Wizard for Single Node. So here's my 3rd question. 3) I can't get past the first step of this wizard. It is asking for the FQDN of the host (Host1). - The documentation indicates that this is NOT the base OS, but I've tried that - I've also tried the IP address that I intend to use for the manager (i.e. what I envision is akin to the vCenter IP address for a vSphere environment -- correct?) In both cases, the wizard won't let me proceed, and keeps saying "Host is not added to known_hosts" What am I missing, here? I'm familiar with the known_hosts file... but that's the VM / manager that I'm trying to create, I thought? Why does the wizard continue to give me that error message?
