Re: oVirt/RHV 4.3.6: How to boot a Q35/UEFI VM from CD?

Hi, Can you give a try of the workaround in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1727987#c0 ? At least it works for RHEL 8 (and most probably CentOS 8).

Re: Cannot enable maintenance mode

Hi Lukas, Thanks for your message! In my cluster, I have all the VM's running under "HOST2". The issue I'm having is that I can't enable maintenance mode on "HOST1", in order to re-add it to oVirt Manager (SSL certificate replacement stuff). I did it successfully on "HOST2", but the other one seems to ignore my actions, with that message in the logs...

Self-Hosted Engine + vxlan + networkd
by pavel＠gremwell.com 04 Nov '19

04 Nov '19

Dear oVirt Community, It appears that oVirt self-hosted engine does not support network configurations based on systemd-networkd? Am I correct? Does oVirt self-hosted engine deployment support VXLAN interface to configure "ovirtmgmt" on top of it? My setup: - three bare-metal servers: two of them are CentOS 7 based, clean installation. the third one is Ubuntu based served as a storage. - all three of them have public Internet connectivity, via basic Ethernet. - in order to emulate internal network, VXLAN was configured between those three. Mainly for testing purposes. - network configuration was done using systemd-networkd, internal communications worked fine. - DNS server was configured on this internal network. worked as direct/reverse resolver. Thus, the main host which I tried to convert to self-hosted engine following https://www.ovirt.org/documentation/self-hosted/chap-Deploying_Self-Hosted_… guide, has the following network interfaces (redacted): - eth0, static IPv4, connected to the Internet; - vxlan0, on top of eth0, has private IPv4, 192.168.200.1; - hosts names resolve via private VXLAN network using 192.168.200.254. I started deployment saying that: Engine FQDN:ovirt-e1.example.com Network Configuration:Static VM IP Address:192.168.200.250/24 Gateway Address:192.168.200.1 DNS Servers:192.168.200.254 hostname of this host on the management network: ovirt-h1.example.com Deployment fails with error "Host ovirt-h1.example.com installation failed. Failed to configure management network on the host." After failure the system (host) does not have "ovirtmgmt" bridge. The same situation was when the host moved from networkd configuration to "network-scripts" (with VXLAN support added). I suspect that the root cause of the problem is that ansible scenarios were not able to create "ovirtmgmt" bridge on top of vxlan0. No switching to VLAN-based management interface... (did not actually tried yet).

oVirt 4.3.6: volume start: engine: failed: Failed to find brick directory /gluster_bricks/engine/engine for volume engine. Reason : No such file or directory
by adrianquintero＠gmail.com 04 Nov '19

04 Nov '19

While trying to deploy using the WEB UI for single hyperconverged setup I run into this issue (ovirt 4.3.5, ovirt 4.3.6). mount point is "/gluster_bricks/engine" however "/gluster_bricks/engine/engine" is not created. Read a post about gluster 6.1 and having to add /gluster_bricks/engine/.glusterfs/indices manually, I tried it but it did not work, I could not deploy the hosted engine vm.

You should be able to do that with the POSIX compliant domain ... If nit, it's better to open a bug so this behaviour is investigated further.

Re: oVirt/RHV 4.3.6: How to boot a Q35/UEFI VM from CD?

I have successfully managed to boot and install RHEL & openSUSE with Secureboot, but UEFI variables are not saved and requires some workarounds (there is a bug opened for that) to work. What exactly is your problem?

Re: [ANN] oVirt 4.3.7 First Release Candidate is now available for testing
by Strahil 02 Nov '19

02 Nov '19

I think I have a theory about ovirt1 , but I have to test it. 1. Ovirt1 has a team device controlled by NetworkManager , but in engine those interfaces are unused 2. I guess that when I recently 'reinstalled' the host from UI, the old teamports' ifcfg-<DEVICENAME> was moved to ifcfg-<DEVICENAME>-1 and the original file was left empty. 3. When the system rebooted, network.service rereads all ifcfg-* files and starts the team0 , but when NetworkManager reads the empty files - he alters the /etc/resolv.conf which leads to out-of-sync status. Still, this is only theory and as ovirt3 has no team device (plain gluster arbiter) - I'm not sure how close is this one.

How to change the CPU of the win10 virtual machine on ovirt-node from 2 cores to 8 cores?
by wangyu13476969128＠126.com 02 Nov '19

02 Nov '19

The version of The ovirt-engine is 4.3.5. I created a win10 virtual machine on ovirt-node, which is allocated 8 cores, and when using the virtual machine I found only 2 cores. I used the command "virsh edit win10" on ovirt-node to prepare to modify the CPU core. I was prompted to enter my username and password. I entered the username and password of the ovirt-engine web interface and ssh log in to the ovirt-node username root and password, but both prompt: Error: failed to connect to the hypervisor Error: authentication failed: authentication failed How can this problem be solved?

I'm not sure, but you can try with replica 1 gluster volume. Later that gluster volume can be changed to replica 2 arbiter 1 or even better replica 3 volume.
