One more time

I have thought about the issue with Windows vm's reporting the timezone incorrectly. I reaqlized that just last month, before I created my vm's that the Daylight Savings Time took affect moving our time up 1 hour. SO, based on that, instead of setting my time zone to US Eastern (GMT -5), I set it to SA Western (GMT -4) and the nasty exclamation mark disappeared. This tells me that DST (Daylight Savings Time) is not an option or configurable in Ovirt. I think this should be an easy fix for those of use that are stuck with it. I don't think the rest of the world participates in DST but most of the United States does. It would be nice to have those zones added as a configurable option that would switch on the dates it is nationally indicated to change. I hope the developers read this. Thanks.

DR on hyperconverged deployment
by wodel youchi 13 Apr '20

13 Apr '20

Hi, Need to understand somethings about DR on oVirt-HI - What does mean : Scheduling regular backups using geo-replication (point 3.3.4 RHHI 1.7 Doc Maintaining RHHI) : - Does this mean creating a check-point? - If yes, does this mean that the geo-replication process will sync data up to that check-point and then stops the synchronization, then repeat the same cycle the day after? does this mean that the minimum RPO is one day? - I created a snapshot of a VM on the source Manager, I synced the volume then I executed a DR, The VM was started on the Target Manager but the VM didn't have its snapshot, any idea??? Regards, be safe.

multiple subnets on hosts for vm's
by eevans＠digitaldatatechs.com 12 Apr '20

12 Apr '20

This is not critical but some functionality I think should be in Ovirt and maybe I am going about it the wrong way. I have several subnets on my physical network. My engine host is separate from the clustered hosts that house the vm's. In order for the vm's on the other subnets (vlans) to get Internet access, I have to add the extra ip addrs on the ovirtmgmt network interface. I have read and tried every solution I could find trying to add teh subnets without using the extra ip addrs option but the machine either becomes isolated or will not start at all. Can someone tell me how to add the vlans so the engine host sees and utilizes them? The engine host can get to resources on the vlans because of the router config but will not let any subnet except ovirtmgmt outside the cluster. This is not critical but something I would like to get working for future deployments. Thank you for your help. Eric

Storage domain in maintenance
by Strahil Nikolov 11 Apr '20

11 Apr '20

Hello All, I have several storage domains in maintenance mode and I can't neither detach, nor activate. Can someone explain to me what is actually doing the engine whwn I try to activate - so I can debug it? The error from vdsm-client is that the storage domain does not exist, yet it is in the DB . I assume that there is somw storage issue, but in order to debug it - I need to know what is gooing on under the hood. Thanks in advance Best Regards, Strahil Nikolov

Windows 10 Pro 64 (1909) crashes when migrating
by Maton, Brett 11 Apr '20

11 Apr '20

I recently added a Windows 10 Pro 64 bit (release 1909) VM, and I'm seeing a lot of failures when oVirt tries to move the VM to another host (triggered by load balancing), These errors are showing up in the UI event log Migration failed (VM: <vm label>, Source: <host 1>, Destination: <host 2>). Followed by: VM <host> is down with error. Exit message: Lost connection with qemu process. Google returned some references to 'options kvm ignore_msrs=1' which I've added to /etc/modprobe/d/kvm.conf and restarted the hosts but that doesn't appear to have made a difference. Is this a known issue with Windows 10 guests?

Firewall GARP not reachable to VM
by k.betsis＠gmail.com 10 Apr '20

10 Apr '20

Hi all Does anyone know how i can allow my Firewall VM cluster act as the default gateway to VMs within the same network? I've configured the GARP functionality on the OPNSENSE firewalls (PFSENSE fork). VMs within the same network can ping the firewall IP addresses successfully but not the GARP IP. The ovirt network has been configured with the MAC Address Anti-spoofing to false. One firewall has been configured with virtio network drivers and the with e1000 both exhibiting the same behavior. Currently all VMs have been configured with a default gateway the primary firewall. Network workarounds using BGP and attributes can work, but are way to complicate to streamline for all VMs when a simple VRRP can do the job. Any ideas what i am missing?

Ovirt and Dell Compellent in ISCSI
by dalmasso＠cines.fr 10 Apr '20

10 Apr '20

hi all, we use ovirt 4.3 on dell server r640 runing centos 7.7 and a storage bay Dell Compellent SCv3020 in ISCSI. We use two 10gb interfaces for iSCSI connection on each dell server. If we configure ISCSI connection directly from web IU, we can’t specify the two physical ethernet interface , and there are missing path . (only 4 path on 8) So, on the shell of hypervisor we use this commands for configure the connections : iscsiadm -m iface -I em1 --op=new # 1st ethernet interface iscsiadm -m iface -I p3p1 --op=new # 2d ethernet interface iscsiadm -m discovery -t sendtargets -p xx.xx.xx.xx iscsiadm -m node -o show iscsiadm -m node --login after this, on the web IU we can connect our LUN with all path. Also, I don’t understand how to configure multipath in the web UI . By defaut the configuration is in failover : multipath -ll : 36000d3100457e4000000000000000005 dm-3 COMPELNT,Compellent Vol size=500G features='1 queue_if_no_path' hwhandler='0' wp=rw `-+- policy='service-time 0' prio=1 status=active |- 23:0:0:1 sdb 8:16 active ready running |- 24:0:0:1 sdd 8:48 active ready running |- 25:0:0:1 sdc 8:32 active ready running |- 26:0:0:1 sde 8:64 active ready running |- 31:0:0:1 sdf 8:80 active ready running |- 32:0:0:1 sdg 8:96 active ready running |- 33:0:0:1 sdh 8:112 active ready running |- 34:0:0:1 sdi 8:128 active ready running I think round robind or another configuration will be more performent. So can we made this configuration , select physical interface and configure multipath in web UI ? for easyly maintenance and adding other server ? Thank you. Sylvain.

oVirt 4.4.0 Beta release refresh is now available for testing The oVirt Project is excited to announce the availability of the beta release of oVirt 4.4.0 refresh for testing, as of April 9th, 2020 This release unleashes an altogether more powerful and flexible open source virtualization solution that encompasses hundreds of individual changes and a wide range of enhancements across the engine, storage, network, user interface, and analytics on top of oVirt 4.3. Important notes before you try it Please note this is a Beta release. The oVirt Project makes no guarantees as to its suitability or usefulness. This pre-release must not to be used in production. In particular, please note that upgrades from 4.3 and future upgrades from this beta to the final 4.4 release from this version are not supported. Some of the features included in oVirt 4.4.0 Beta require content that will be available in CentOS Linux 8.2 but can’t be tested on RHEL 8.2 beta yet due to some incompatibility in openvswitch package shipped in CentOS Virt SIG which requires to rebuild openvswitch on top of CentOS 8.2. Known Issues - ovirt-imageio development is still in progress. In this beta you can’t upload images to data domains using the engine web application. You can still copy iso images into the deprecated ISO domain for installing VMs or upload and download to/from data domains is fully functional via the REST API and SDK. For uploading and downloading via the SDK, please see: - https://github.com/oVirt/ovirt-engine-sdk/blob/master/sdk/examples/upload_d… - https://github.com/oVirt/ovirt-engine-sdk/blob/master/sdk/examples/download… Both scripts are standalone command line tool, try --help for more info. Installation instructions For the engine: either use appliance or: - Install CentOS Linux 8 minimal from http://centos.mirror.garr.it/centos/8.1.1911/isos/x86_64/CentOS-8.1.1911-x8… - dnf install https://resources.ovirt.org/pub/yum-repo/ovirt-release44-pre.rpm - dnf update (reboot if needed) - dnf module enable -y javapackages-tools pki-deps 389-ds - dnf install ovirt-engine - engine-setup For the nodes: Either use oVirt Node ISO or: - Install CentOS Linux 8 from http://centos.mirror.garr.it/centos/8.1.1911/isos/x86_64/CentOS-8.1.1911-x8… ; select minimal installation - dnf install https://resources.ovirt.org/pub/yum-repo/ovirt-release44-pre.rpm - dnf update (reboot if needed) - Attach the host to engine and let it be deployed. What’s new in oVirt 4.4.0 Beta? - Hypervisors based on CentOS Linux 8 (rebuilt from award winning RHEL8), for both oVirt Node and standalone CentOS Linux hosts - Easier network management and configuration flexibility with NetworkManager - VMs based on a more modern Q35 chipset with legacy seabios and UEFI firmware - Support for direct passthrough of local host disks to VMs - Live migration improvements for High Performance guests. - New Windows Guest tools installer based on WiX framework now moved to VirtioWin project - Dropped support for cluster level prior to 4.2 - Dropped SDK3 support - 4K disks support only for file based storage. iSCSI/FC storage do not support 4k disks yet. - Exporting a VM to a data domain - Editing of floating disks - Integrating ansible-runner into engine, which allows a more detailed monitoring of playbooks executed from engine - Adding/reinstalling hosts are now completely based on Ansible - The OpenStack Neutron Agent cannot be configured by oVirt anymore, it should be configured by TripleO instead This release is available now on x86_64 architecture for: * Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.1 * CentOS Linux (or similar) 8.1 This release supports Hypervisor Hosts on x86_64 and ppc64le architectures for: * Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.1 * CentOS Linux (or similar) 8.1 * oVirt Node 4.4 based on CentOS Linux 8.1 (available for x86_64 only) See the release notes [1] for installation instructions and a list of new features and bugs fixed.
