I am installing ovirt 4.2 on three nodes. I am using centos with ovirt cockpit. My /sdb is my boot disk and /sda is my local storage, When I started the setup with cockpit I selected the sda but the ansible script stay on sdb. I have fix all changing the playbook manually but in the execution the gdeploy tool stay blocked on TASK [Create Physical Volume] . I don't find any logs. How I can fix that?

Regarding VDSM_Hooks
by Vrgotic, Marko 10 Jul '19

10 Jul '19

Dear oVIrt, Happy to report I have deployed my first python vdsm_hook which removes A, AAAA, TXT records of VM each time after_vm_destroy event is triggered, and it works fine. This was required to be able to quickly redploy/rebuild VMs using same hostname. Issue I am observing/just discovered now is: Since live_migration of VM guest is considered a destruction from Host perspective, DNS records get deleted and VM lands on new host without being resolvable 😊 . I would like to introduce another python script for hook regarding migration events to get these entries back into DNS but for that I need there IPs. Question: * Where can I find/locate/read VMs IPs and Hostnames (is it dom_xml) to be able to incorporate them for DNS Update script? If its relevant for the question: we are currently running oVIrt 4.3.3 version Kindly awaiting your reply. Marko Vrgotic ActiveVideo

VM Portal please add search filter box and list view as in Administration portal
by Vrgotic, Marko 10 Jul '19

10 Jul '19

Dear oVirt, This email has bounced two times already, and I am not sure what is wrong. Hopefully you get it this time. Request is below. Sent from my iPhone Dear oVirt, Would it be possible to discuss/consider adding search/filter field for VM Portal, resembling one in Administration Portal? I have 60 users with over 500VMs and it would be really good to have this option. At this moment is virtually impossible to use the VMPortal due to poor view options. We are currently running oVirt 4.3.3. — — — Met vriendelijke groet / Kind regards, Marko Vrgotic Sr. System Engineer @ System Administration m.vrgotic(a)activevideo.com<mailto:m.vrgotic@activevideo.com>

Dear oVirt, This request was bounced two times as well. Details below. Can you please advise me.

Or even better: * What would be even better, is there a way to not trigger the dns update if VM is being Migrated? Can I use dom_xml or other location/file to check whether VM is migrated or not, which would allow me to control if dnsupdate should be triggered?

Don't forget to run a ping with a size of 8500 and "do not fragment" flag. This will really prove that you are no longer using the small MTU anywhere on the path.

Ethernet tools for VM's

oVirt Enginge Version: 3.5.0.1-1.el6 (yes....I know it's old) VM is running Ubuntu 18.04 with ovirt agent installed. I'm attempting to get NIC information by running 'ethtool -i ens3' I get the following: root@myserver:~# ethtool -i ens3 driver: virtio_net version: 1.0.0 firmware-version: expansion-rom-version: bus-info: 0000:00:03.0 supports-statistics: no supports-test: no supports-eeprom-access: no supports-register-dump: no supports-priv-flags: no root@myserver:~# and when I run 'ethtool ens3' I get the following: root@myserver:~# ethtool ens3 Settings for ens3: Supported ports: [ ] Supported link modes: Not reported Supported pause frame use: No Supports auto-negotiation: No Supported FEC modes: Not reported Advertised link modes: Not reported Advertised pause frame use: No Advertised auto-negotiation: No Advertised FEC modes: Not reported Speed: Unknown! Duplex: Unknown! (255) Port: Other PHYAD: 0 Transceiver: internal Auto-negotiation: off Link detected: yes This is not what I expected. Is there another tool I should be using to display the information for ens3 on this server?

[ANN] oVirt updates
by Sandro Bonazzola 09 Jul '19

09 Jul '19

oVirt community, Today marks a new day in the 26-year history of Red Hat. IBM has finalized its acquisition of Red Hat, which will operate as a distinct unit within IBM moving forward. What does this mean for Red Hat’s contributions to the oVirt project? In short, nothing. Red Hat always has and will continue to be a champion for open source and projects like oVirt that have played such a large role in driving innovation in the virtualization space. IBM is committed to Red Hat’s independence and role in open source software communities so that we can continue this work without interruption or changes. Our mission, governance, and objectives remain the same. We will continue to execute the existing project roadmap as we’ve been doing since 2011 for the oVirt project. Red Hat associates will continue to contribute to the upstream in the same way they have been. And, as always, we will continue to help upstream projects be successful and contribute to welcoming new members and maintaining the project. We will do this together, with the community, as we always have. If you have questions or would like to learn more about today’s news, I encourage you to review the materials below. Red Hat CTO Chris Wright will host an online Q&A session in the coming days where you can ask questions you may have about what the acquisition means for Red Hat and our involvement in open source communities. Details will be announced on the Red Hat blog [1]. * Press release [2] * Blog from Chris Wright [3] * FAQ [4] Sandro Bonazzola, Manager, Software Engineering [1] https://www.redhat.com/en/blog [2] https://www.redhat.com/en/about/press-releases/ibm-closes-landmark-acquisit… [3] https://www.redhat.com/en/blog/red-hat-and-ibm-accelerating-adoption-open-s… [4] https://community.redhat.com/blog/2019/07/faq-for-communities/

Managed Block Storage
by dan.poltawski＠tnp.net.uk 09 Jul '19

09 Jul '19

I'm testing out the managed storage to connect to ceph and I have a few questions: * Would I be correct in assuming that the hosted engine VM needs connectivity to the storage and not just the underlying hosts themselves? It seems like the cinderlib client runs from the engine? * Does the ceph config and keyring need to replicated onto each hypervisor/host? * I have managed to do one block operation so far (i've created a volume which is visible on the ceph side), but multiple other operations have failed and are 'running' in the engine task list. Is there any way I can increase debugging to see whats happening?

Storage domain format version info
by Gianluca Cecchi 09 Jul '19

09 Jul '19

Hello, part of updating a DC from 4.2 to 4.3 consists in updating format of data storage domains from V4 to V5. Questions: - where can I find list of differences between V4 and V5? And in general between previous ones? - can I force only a particular storage domain to remain in V4 while having the other ones upgraded to V5, for any reason? Or the reverse: update only one of the defined domains? Eg on oVirt web site I only found this for V4 https://www.ovirt.org/develop/release-management/features/storage/storage_d… with mention about Qcow2 v3 (link broken.. one ot the upstream pages for it here: https://wiki.qemu.org/Features/Qcow3 ) that should give near raw performance with advantages of qcow2 format... Thanks, Gianluca
