Device /dev/sdb excluded by a filter.\n
by Steve Watkins 01 Feb '20

01 Feb '20

Since I managed to crash my last attempt at installing by uploading an ISO, I wound up just reloading all the nodes and starting from scratch. Now one node gets "Device /dev/sdb excluded by a filter.\n" and fails when creating the volumes. Can't seem to get passed that -- the other machiens are set up identally and don't fail, and it worked before when installed but now... Any ideas?

oVirt upgrade problems...
by matteo fedeli 01 Feb '20

01 Feb '20

Hi at all, I have many problems after upgrade ovirt version. I come from 4.3.5.2. When I upgraded to 4.3.7 my three host (hyperconverged emviroment) I passed a few days of instability: HA agent down gluster problem... When I rebooted for the umpteenth time (after reinitialized lockspace, heal, heal full...) all cames up ha agent and broker included. Two days after arrived 4.3.8, so i decided to start the update, america with success, europa after a various problems (as described before) came up. Asia host, after 30 second of updating the engine goes down together with all three nodes ... Are there any known important bugs? This is the state of my nodes: https://pastebin.com/2XsnTyHi https://pastebin.com/ZeKTdaZ7 https://pastebin.com/ZDUBg4vG

Gluster Heal Issue
by Christian Reiss 01 Feb '20

01 Feb '20

Hey folks, in our production setup with 3 nodes (HCI) we took one host down (maintenance, stop gluster, poweroff via ssh/ovirt engine). Once it was up the gluster hat 2k healing entries that went down in a matter on 10 minutes to 2. Those two give me a headache: [root@node03:~] # gluster vol heal ssd_storage info Brick node01:/gluster_bricks/ssd_storage/ssd_storage <gfid:a121e4fb-0984-4e41-94d7-8f0c4f87f4b6> <gfid:6f8817dc-3d92-46bf-aa65-a5d23f97490e> Status: Connected Number of entries: 2 Brick node02:/gluster_bricks/ssd_storage/ssd_storage Status: Connected Number of entries: 0 Brick node03:/gluster_bricks/ssd_storage/ssd_storage <gfid:a121e4fb-0984-4e41-94d7-8f0c4f87f4b6> <gfid:6f8817dc-3d92-46bf-aa65-a5d23f97490e> Status: Connected Number of entries: 2 No paths, only gfid.

Ovirt-engine-ha cannot to see live status of Hosted Engine
by asm＠pioner.kz 01 Feb '20

01 Feb '20

Good day for all. I have some issues with Ovirt 4.2.6. But now the main this of it: I have two Centos 7 Nodes with same config and last Ovirt 4.2.6 with Hostedengine with disk on NFS storage. Also some of virtual machines working good. But, when HostedEngine running on one node (srv02.local) everything is fine. After migrating to another node (srv00.local), i see that agent cannot to check livelinness of HostedEngine. After few minutes HostedEngine going to reboot and after some time i see some situation. After migration to another node (srv00.local) all looks OK. hosted-engine --vm-status commang when HosterEngine on srv00 node: --== Host 1 status ==-- conf_on_shared_storage : True Status up-to-date : True Hostname : srv02.local Host ID : 1 Engine status : {"reason": "vm not running on this host", "health": "bad", "vm": "down_unexpected", "detail": "unknown"} Score : 0 stopped : False Local maintenance : False crc32 : ecc7ad2d local_conf_timestamp : 78328 Host timestamp : 78328 Extra metadata (valid at timestamp): metadata_parse_version=1 metadata_feature_version=1 timestamp=78328 (Tue Sep 18 12:44:18 2018) host-id=1 score=0 vm_conf_refresh_time=78328 (Tue Sep 18 12:44:18 2018) conf_on_shared_storage=True maintenance=False state=EngineUnexpectedlyDown stopped=False timeout=Fri Jan 2 03:49:58 1970 --== Host 2 status ==-- conf_on_shared_storage : True Status up-to-date : True Hostname : srv00.local Host ID : 2 Engine status : {"reason": "failed liveliness check", "health": "bad", "vm": "up", "detail": "Up"} Score : 3400 stopped : False Local maintenance : False crc32 : 1d62b106 local_conf_timestamp : 326288 Host timestamp : 326288 Extra metadata (valid at timestamp): metadata_parse_version=1 metadata_feature_version=1 timestamp=326288 (Tue Sep 18 12:44:21 2018) host-id=2 score=3400 vm_conf_refresh_time=326288 (Tue Sep 18 12:44:21 2018) conf_on_shared_storage=True maintenance=False state=EngineStarting stopped=False Log agent.log from srv00.local: MainThread::INFO::2018-09-18 12:40:51,749::states::779::ovirt_hosted_engine_ha.agent.hosted_engine.HostedE ngine::(consume) VM is powering up..

Also here one interesting point, after installing just "yum install http://resources.ovirt.org/pub/yum-repo/ovirt-release42.rpm" on this node i try to install this node from engine web interface with "Deploy" action. But, installation was unsuccesfull, before i didnt install ovirt-hosted-engine-ha on this node. I dont see in documentation that its need bofore installation of new hosts. But this is for information and checking. After installing ovirt-hosted-engine-ha node was installed with HostedEngine support. But the main issue not changed. Thanks in advance for help.

Reimport VMs after lost Engine with broken Backup
by Vinícius Ferrão 31 Jan '20

31 Jan '20

Hello, I’m with a scenario with a lost hosted-engine. For reasons unknown the backup is broken and I’ve tried everything: redeploy with backup file, deploy a new one and them restore the backup. Changed the HE storage domain in both cases just be sure. Reinstalled one of the hosts just to be safe but nothing worked. So I just deployed a brand new engine and now I want to import back the VM’s. My scenario right now is: ovirt1 brand new with the new VM in a new storage domain. ovirt2 have production VMs running without any issue. So my questions right now: * What happens if I just add the ovirt2 machine to the new engine? It will reboot or will add everything back: storage, networks etc? My plan right now would be: * Reconfigure the DC and the cluster. * Readd all the networks. * Reattach the storage domains. * Recreate all the VM”s attaching it’s disks. Is there’s something that I can do better to mitigate the work? Thanks,

Re: High level network advice request

Thanks so much for your reply Robert! I like your set-up alot, that's where I'm going too actually. But now I have only one node, I'm trying to learn very basic setup with just the one for the moment (Because I have it running after years of trying! It will take a few weeks and another motherboard / rebuild before I have the second node, I'll get there soon). I've just learned (I think) that I can't sync new logical networks with the host, because I can't put the only host in maintenance mode...I thought that there might be a way with cli and restarts and all that but lo, there no point, I will have another node in a few weeks or months :) That's okay, I'm trying to work out why I can't access my new test server from WAN. I use split dns with pfsense and haproxy reverse redirects. I can get to the server test pages from LAN via the pfSense dns resolution (LAN) but the reverse redirects are not working from WAN. I don't know what next step to take to debug the problem. The engine is accessible from WAN, so I think it should work for the vm server, which is also on the default ovirt management network and uses all defaults like the hosted engine. I suspect that there is a security setting on the engine, logical network or maybe the server? What should I check next? My singe node, is also in the same condition, which may be instructive to a noob like me...the node I can reach from the LAN but not the WAN. So the engine is a special case. Do I need to create certificates on the vm webserver? I'd like to see if I can set-up a NextCloud server after trying a SuiteCRM server. But I started with fedora 31 server and a very basic lamp stack to limit variables... Thanks in advance. Let me know if I can ever help you with anything! I'm an Architect, but a real one; not IT but bricks and all that :) These are the links: engine.metrodesignoffice.com mdowebserver.metrodesignoffice.com

0virt VMs status down after host reboot
by Eugène Ngontang 31 Jan '20

31 Jan '20

Hi all, I've set up an infrastructure with OVirt, using self-hosted engine. I use some ansible scripts from my Virtualization Host (the physical machine), to bootstrap the hosted engine, and create a set of virtual machines on which I deploy a k8s cluster. The deployment goes well, and everything is OK. Now I'm doing some reboot tests, and when I reboot the physical server, only the hosted-engine vm is up after the reboot, the rest of VMs and thus the k8s cluster are down. Had someone here ever experienced this issue? What can cause it and how to automate the virtual machines startup in RHVE/Ovirt? Thanks.

High level network advice request
by Richard Nilsson 31 Jan '20

31 Jan '20

High level network advice request :) I have a self-hosted engine deployed on a node, Ovirt v. 4.3. I am testing, but I don't understand the big idea of how to set-up Ovirt networking for hosted / engine-managed virtual servers. I would like to host a few virtual servers for things like Next/OwnCloud, SuiteCRM, NethServer or others. For example, I know exactly how set-up a virtual machine with a centos / lamp stack on a fedora host, I can make a network bridge for the vm with fedora cli, then use haproxy (or squid) as a reverse-redirect server to allow WAN access to the vm server using FQDNs. What is a good strategy for Ovirt hosting a webserver? To use the default ovirt management network for the virtual server machines doesn't seem like a best practice? Should I make a new logical network for the virtual servers? Do I need to configure bridges for the machines? It looks like bridges and virtual NICs are automatically configured when I make the network and virtual machines, is that right? Is it the usual or typical practice that one ovirt logical network uses only one network bridge to a one physical NIC? Would all of the kVMs on the logical network share the same / single bridge of the particular network? I'm not sure what the big idea should be, what is a best practice? I wonder, should I bond several physical NICs, then point the bridge, for a new / dedicated logical network for webservers, to the the bonded NICs? There is more than a little new vocabulary for me to onboard for Ovirt / virtual / logical networks...I will greatly appreciate, and I thank you in advance for any top level / best practice advice!
