oVirt 4.6 planning
by Sandro Bonazzola 07 Feb '23

07 Feb '23

oVirt developers community, I see there are a few enhancements submitted in GitHub: engine: Add amt_ws fence agent support <https://github.com/oVirt/ovirt-engine/pull/810> Notification emails merging and localization <https://github.com/oVirt/ovirt-engine/pull/798> And also some rebase proposal: Rebase on WildFly 26 <https://github.com/oVirt/ovirt-engine/issues/637> Which would probably make more sense to be targeted to an oVirt 4.6 than a 4.5.z. There are now about three hundreds Untargeted issues(no milestone set) <https://github.com/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+user%3Aovirt+archived%3Afa…> to be triaged and about sixty Untargeted PRs (no milestone set) <https://github.com/pulls?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Apr+user%3Aovirt+archived%3Afalse+…> to be reviewed. Some of them might be ready for a 4.5.z bugfix release while others can wait for a 4.6. Anyone willing to step in to lead the oVirt 4.6 development? A year has passed since my blog post about the future of the oVirt project <https://blogs.ovirt.org/2022/02/future-of-ovirt-february-2022/> but the concept is the same: oVirt future depends on how you, the community! Come help contribute to this new future <https://ovirt.org/develop/>! CC users community in case someone wants to jump into development as well.

Ovirt Hosted Engine - Offline Deployment
by will.roberts＠penten.com 07 Feb '23

07 Feb '23

Hi Team, I need some help deploying Ovirt Hosted Engine. I have installed Ovirt Node 4.5.4 on my intel NUC as a small development environment for a bigger project. I am not able to connect the NUC to the internet but am able to download any relevant packages onto a hard drive and connect this to the system. I have attempted to deploy Hosted Engine via the CLI with the following command: "hosted-engine --deploy --4 --ansible-extra-vars=he_offline_deployment=true". This Fails as it is unable to resolve the URL for the mirror? I feel as though I must be missing some pre-deployment step which changes the repo path but my knowledge in this area is definitely not where it needs to be. I've trolled through the internet but cant find any sort of documentation which details the involved steps. Does anyone have any knowledge on how do accomplish this with my previously mentioned restrictions?

PKIX path validation failed: java.security.cert.CertPathValidatorException: validity check failed
by Roberto Nunin 06 Feb '23

06 Feb '23

We are receiving this message into engine web page, surprising us due to certificate renewal done three months ago, during upgrade from 4.5.2 to 4.5.3. Infact, all certificates are valid, with only two exceptions: In /etc/pki/ovirt-engine/certs, apache.cer and websocket-proxy.cer were reporting expired certificates. We've done the defined action to renew certificates, with engine-setup --oflline and everything goes smoothly, but instead of two 5-years valid SSL certificates, we've got 2 1-year valid (more or less): #openssl x509 -noout -startdate -enddate -in websocket-proxy.cer notBefore=Feb 4 20:59:14 2023 GMT notAfter=Mar 9 20:59:14 2024 GMT #openssl x509 -noout -startdate -enddate -in apache.cer notBefore=Feb 4 20:59:14 2023 GMT notAfter=Mar 9 20:59:14 2024 GMT It's the correct behaviour ? I'm already aware about web SSL certificate duration "restriction" to 1-year, but all other certs have a 5-year validity. Here's one of: #openssl x509 -noout -startdate -enddate -in vmconsole-proxy-user.cer notBefore=Nov 20 11:11:08 2022 GMT notAfter=Nov 22 11:11:08 2027 GMT This post just for confirmation that this is correct behavior.

How to assign user rights more precisely
by ziyi Liu 06 Feb '23

06 Feb '23

I have configured ldap and can use ldap users to log in to the web engine There are many data center clusters and virtual machines in my environment. I should have more precise control over users The general manager can see several data centers he manages and can manage them There are three employees, A, B, and C, under the general manager. These three employees manage these data centers separately, and I want the three employees of A, B, and C to not be able to see each other's data centers.

Ovirt Rename multiple disks
by Pietro Pesce 03 Feb '23

03 Feb '23

Hi I'm new to using ansible, I'm writing a playbook to install a vm from template, everything works fine except for the disk names which stay the same as the template. The vm has more than one disk attached, I found this works for renaming the disk, but it only renames 1. how can I rename the others too? - name: Print vm attributes ovirt.ovirt.ovirt_vm_info: auth: "{{ ovirt_auth }}" pattern: name="{{ vm_fqdn }}" fetch_nested: true register: vm_info - debugging: msg: "{{ vm_info.ovirt_vms[0] }}" - name: Rename disk ovirt.ovirt.ovirt_disk: auth: "{{ ovirt_auth }}" id: "{{ vm_info.ovirt_vms[0].id }}" storage_domain: lrg0-ovirt-mydom-internal-Local name: "{{ vm_fqdn }}-osdisk0" vm_name: "{{ vm_fqdn }}" Thanks Regards

oVirt Installation in ESXi 7
by mikejhathaway＠gmail.com 03 Feb '23

Hi Folks, Am a complete newbie with oVirt and am researching how to install in an ESXi server, the idea is to create a VM that runs the oVirt host and hosted engine with a virtual NFS server, I found the following but am not able to get the hoste engine VM to deploy, I am not seeing anything leaping out at me from the log file and was hoping that others may have experiences they can share? https://jorgedelacruz.uk/2021/07/26/ovirt-detailed-guide-on-how-to-deploy-a… am also using https://www.ovirt.org/documentation/installing_ovirt_as_a_self-hosted_engin… TIA Mike

Re: CPU Shares
by Marcos Sungaila 03 Feb '23

03 Feb '23

Hi Nick, Setting CPU Shares only changes how the instance works. It does not affect the current workload unless the instance is under pressure. For example, if you are running an RDBMS, you may see a performance improvement when normalizing the database or generating a monthly report. Even that, the improvement may be minimum. Do not expect a sensible performance improvement for normal operation. Performance tuning is not magic. You will often perform many configurations to see a 1%, maybe 2% gain. Regards, Marcos From: Nick --- <jsmith1299(a)live.com> Sent: Wednesday, February 1, 2023 9:59 AM To: users(a)ovirt.org Subject: [External] : [ovirt-users] CPU Shares Hello, I would like some help understanding CPU shares. We have several VMs which are CPU pinned due to licensing. We would like to favor one VM since it is our application VM over the other VMs which it is pinned with. Would I set the CPU share on the one that needs to priority to high or low? In the documentation I see the following: Specify CPU Shares. Possible options are Low, Medium, High, Custom, and Disabled. Virtual machines set to High receive twice as many shares as Medium, and virtual machines set to Medium receive twice as many shares as virtual machines set to Low. Disabled instructs VDSM to use an older algorithm for determining share dispensation; usually the number of shares dispensed under these conditions is 1020. I currently have it set to high and I believe it is doing the opposite of what I want it to do as the CPU steal percentage appears to be 10-15% over the other VMs which show no CPU steal and are set to low. I'd like to confirm if I have this setup correctly or not. Thanks, Nick
