oVirt on EL8 derivatives now that CentOS Stream 8 is EOL
by Rik Theys 31 May '24

31 May '24

Hi, To install oVirt on EL8 derivatives, https://www.ovirt.org/download/install_on_rhel.html has instructions on how to disable the extras repo, and configures two repositories from CentOS 8 Stream. Now that CentOS 8 Stream is EOL, what is the procedure to install/update oVirt on EL8 machines? Have the required packages from CentOS Stream 8 been merged in EL8.10? Unfortunately, migrating to CentOS Stream 9 is not an option in our environment as we need SPICE support, which has been dropped in EL9. Regards, Rik -- Rik Theys System Engineer KU Leuven - Dept. Elektrotechniek (ESAT) Kasteelpark Arenberg 10 bus 2440 - B-3001 Leuven-Heverlee +32(0)16/32.11.07 ---------------------------------------------------------------- <<Any errors in spelling, tact or fact are transmission errors>>

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 17 May '24

17 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…
