SSH into guest VM
by 03ce007＠gmail.com 29 May '18

29 May '18

I have self-hosted-engine (4.2) deployed successfully on cento (7.4) server. The physical server has 'ovirt' as hostname and the self-hosted engineVM deployed and running on it has 'engine.ovirt' as fdqn. I can successfully create new VM using the oVirt.vm-infra example playbook. But what other config/var i need to add in them so that I can ssh into this new VM. Some example, tips, hints would be helpful. Thank you.

cache and viodiskcache parameters in documentation
by stefanos＠prismatelecomtesting.com 28 May '18

28 May '18

Hi, on chapter 6.13.1 "Live Migration Prerequisites" [1] of the RHV 4.2 Virtual Machine Management Guide, there is written: ____________ At a minimum, for successful live migration of virtual machines to be possible: [...] The migrating virtual machine must not have the cache!=none custom property set. ____________ However I can't find any custom property called "cache" under Edit Virtual Machine --> Custom Properties but only "viodiskcache". As a matter of fact, Appendix A of the same guide [2] reports the following statement: "If viodiskcache is enabled, the virtual machine cannot be live migrated" that suggest viodiskcache as the correct parameter. Are the two statements contradictory? Thank you.

Bad volume specification
by Bryan Sockel 28 May '18

28 May '18

Hi, I am having to rebuild my ovirt instance for a couple of reasons. I have setup a temporary ovirt portal to migrate my setup to while i rebuild my production portal. I have run int a couple of VM's that will no longer start. Everything that i am seeing is identical to this article - https://access.redhat.com/solutions/2423391 VM devel-build is down with error. Exit message: Bad volume specification {'serial': 'ec7a3258-7a99-4813-aa7d-dceb727a1975', 'index': 0, 'iface': 'virtio', 'apparentsize': '1835008', 'specParams': {}, 'cache': 'none', 'imageID': 'ec7a3258-7a99-4813-aa7d-dceb727a1975', 'truesize': '1777664', 'type': 'disk', 'domainID': '2b79768f-a329-4eab-81e0-120a81ac8906', 'reqsize': '0', 'format': 'cow', 'poolID': '9e7d643c-592d-11e8-82eb-005056b41d15', 'device': 'disk', 'path': '/rhev/data-center/9e7d643c-592d-11e8-82eb-005056b41d15/2b79768f-a329-4eab-81e0-120a81ac8906/images/ec7a3258-7a99-4813-aa7d-dceb727a1975/8f4ddee4-68b3-48e9-be27-0231557f5218', 'propagateErrors': 'off', 'name': 'vda', 'bootOrder': '1', 'volumeID': '8f4ddee4-68b3-48e9-be27-0231557f5218', 'diskType': 'file', 'alias': 'ua-ec7a3258-7a99-4813-aa7d-dceb727a1975', 'discard': False}. Currently running version 4.2.3.5-1 Is there anyway to recover the image, or even just be able to mount the drive to another vm to extract data. Thank You

ovirt guest agent epel 6 and rhevm in the name
by Gianluca Cecchi 28 May '18

28 May '18

Hello, I have updated one test environment to 4.2 (it was in 4.1.9) I have a guest in Oracle Linux 6 and epel 6 repo enabled. After powering down and start the VM, I saw the exclamation mark regarding ovirt-guest-agent latest version needed. On the VM the process was dead and I took the time of updatng it from ovirt-guest-agent-1.0.12-4.el6.noarch to ovirt-guest-agent-1.0.13-2.el6.noarch and start the agent. All seems ok; no exclamation mark now and I see the ip addresses of the guest in 4.2 web admin gui. But in log of ovirt-guest-agent I see: MainThread::ERROR::2018-05-28 14:34:55,711::ovirt-guest-agent::140::root::Unhandled exception in oVirt guest agent!

CentOS7 Install Failure to Shutdown
by Matthew Wimpelberg 28 May '18

28 May '18

I have ovirt 4.2.3.5-1.el7.centos installed and am unable to cleanly reboot the host machine. The only way I can reboot is to press and hold the power button which causes an unclean shutdown of the engine vm. I can upload logs if necessary I'm just not sure where to upload them to.
