Hello Sharon,

I had a look on the bug report and it says, that this fix is targeted for oVirt 4.4. This would be really bad for us, because I have hundreds of VMs, which can't be restarted so easily (over 500) and this would break then our engine...
This would make it impossible for us to upgrade to oVirt 4.3.5 or higher until the Bug is fixed.

Would it be possible to get a manual fix for this?

I would like to upgrade to 4.3.6 when it is out in September or beginning of October.

BR Florian

Betreff: [ovirt-users] Re: engine.log flooded with "Field 'foo' can not be updated when status is 'Up'"

Hi,
We checked that issue and found out that you are right and this extra logging lines problem is caused by "next run configuration" improvements added to oVirt 4.3.5. 

The current behaviour is that for each running VM with next run configuration existed, a warning line of "....Field 'xxx' can not be updated when status is 'Up'" appears in log, per each vm device and whenever the vms list is refreshed.
This definitely may flood the engine log if there are few such VMs.

Can you please file a bug on that?

Thanks,
Sharon

Thanks for the feedback, I think my description was a bit clumsy, but at
least someone confirms that he has seen this...
I still hope it's linked to unfinished VM "Custom Compatibility Version"
updates, tomorrow I'll know, when I finally can do the last VM reboots.
My "Administration Portal" is still usable, but nevertheless I think
this is something the upstream developers should look into.
