Non responsive host (4.3.10)
by Maria Souvalioti 08 Jun '23

08 Jun '23

Hello everyone! Due to a recent major power outage in my area I now have an unresponsive self hosted host in an environment of 3 self hosted hosts. There's one vm stuck on there as well as some metadata I guess from when hosted engine was running there (before the power went down). I'm running 4.3.10 ovirt node with 3 nodes and GlusterFS, no arbiter, and I'm using it to provide services to our clients i.e. DNS, web sites, wikis, ticketing etc. and I cannot shut them down. The ovirt engine is up and running and I can manage all the other VMs that run on the other hosts through the web gui. The unresponsive host replies only to ICMP requests; in every other sense it's dead, no ssh, no gluster bricks, no console, nothing. I tried to place the faulty host in maintenance, using the option to stop glusterd, but wasn't able to as the engine won't let the host go into maintenance mode because it thinks the host has running VMs on it. The host won't go into maintenance even if I chose the "Ignore gluster quorum and self-heal validations" option. I spent last week creating a backup environment were I copied the VMs, to have somewhere to run them in case something goes terribly wrong with the systems or the gluster in the production system. I'm thinking of using the global maintenance mode and then shutting down the engine itself with *hosted-engine --vm-shutdown* and rebooting the affected host. Should I remove the host from the cluster and then re-add it or should I do something else? Thanks for any of your help!

Hello, We have an standalone engine version 4.3.6 and we try to renew the engine certificate. We have followed the official documentation but the engine-setup never ask us the question "Renew certificate ?" Do you have an idea ?

Rename Virtual Machine
by lavi.buchnik＠exlibrisgroup.com 08 Jun '23

08 Jun '23

Hi, We have this scenario: - VM running Centos-7 - VM running Oracle-8 Then, we shutdown and delete Centos-7 VM (verified by API and UI) Then, we rename Oracle-8 VM (via API) to have the name of the old Centos-7 VM and then stop/start Oracle-8 VM. Rename is working and VM is coming up (status is "up" from API and also in the UI). The problem is that Oracle-8 VM is not really up. it is hanging. not replying to PING nor to SSH. Seems like the root cause is this: - Oracle-8 VM name is indeed Centos-7 VM. but its FQDN (seen in UI) is still its Original name. - So when getting both Centos-7 VM name and Oracle-8 VM name status, I get an answer (via API) about both of them: Both reply with "up" I'm using a simple API to rename the VM as followed (vm_name is Oracle-8 VM name, and new_name is Centos-7 VM name): vm_id_obj = self.get_vm_id(vm_name) updated_vm = vm_id_obj.update( vm=types.Vm( name=new_name ) ) Thanks, Lavi

VM disks Block device
by hemak88＠gmail.com 08 Jun '23

08 Jun '23

LVM is used underneath the storage domain for disk management in kvm cluster on ovirt. VG which is the storage domain is visbile and active in all hosts in the same datacenter on ovirt. But, LV under this vg (that is the virtual disks of vms) is not active and the corresponding block devices of these LVs is not available on all hosts in cluster. I find only the running VMs LVs are active on the corresponding host. Is this a feature? Is it possible to get a corresponding block device and LV on all hosts in cluster?

Ovirt Error after creating a VM image
by lavi.buchnik＠exlibrisgroup.com 07 Jun '23

07 Jun '23

Hi, I wrote an automation that provisioning a VM using ovirtsdk4 (we are using Ovirt 4.3). In the last week, we notice that sometimes the VM provisioning is failing with this error: "The response content type 'text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' isn't the expected XML" This error is happening when the automation is creating the VM image and waiting for its status to get change from "image-locked", this to be able to set affinity on it and later to start the new VM. So the error is happening while the image is in "image-locked" state. Can you please let me know why it is happening (note that it is occurring like 1 out of 4 attempts) and how can it get fixed? Thanks, Lavi

oVirt 4.4 - Integrate event notifications with System Center Operations Manager
by angus＠ajct.uk 02 Jun '23

02 Jun '23

Hello I am looking to integrate oVirt 4.4 event notifications with an incident management tool - M$ System Center Operations Manager. I need to give examples to SCOM of what an unhealthy email looks like and what a recover/healthy email looks like for each event I want it to manage. Is there a way of triggering sample notifications (something failed/something recovered) for events or perhaps I can see the email templates used somewhere? (I did try a grep -Hr on the engine VM for "alertMessage" and "resolveMessage" for a VM migration notification but only found an entry in the in the notifier log. Thanks Angus

Regarding oVirt IP Address Change
by Pro Cloudguru 02 Jun '23

02 Jun '23

Hello oVIrt Community, Presently, I've a healthy & running oVirt Hosting that includes single DC, Cluster, SPM & Storage. The LAN IP Address range is 10.151.65.0/24. As we're in the process of migrating office premises, I'm worried about the existing oVirt IP Address Schema as the new range is 10.101.160/0/20. In this scenario, I'd like to know how the migration happens successfully without disturbing the oVirt Hosting & all hosted VMs. Please Guide, *Nishith N. Vyas*
