I’m trying to upload an ISO image in ovirt 4.4.10, It’s been a huge challenge to accomplish this. I read several post regarding this issue, I really don’t have s clear understanding of solution to this issue. My experience has not been very fruitful at all.
Sorry to hear this.
When I try to perform the upload using the web GUI I get the following message in the status column: “Paused by System“. I’ve been reading for roughly three weeks trying to understand and resolve the issue. There is a tremendous amount of discussion centered around changing certificate file located in the directory “etcpki/ovirt-engine”, however it not clear at all what files need to change.
My installation is an out-of-box installation with any certificates beginning generated as part of the install process, I’ve imported the certificate that was generated into my browser/Firefox 91.9.0. Based on what I’ve been reading the solution to my problems is that the certificate does not match the certificate defined in the “imageio-service”, my question is why because it was generated as part of the installation?
If your system is out-of-box installation and you are using the default self signed engine CA, there should be no mismatch.
What files in the “/etc/pki/ovirt-engine” must be changed to get things working. Further should or do I copy the certificate saved from the GUI to files under “/etc/pki/ovirt-engine” directory?
You don't have to change anything to use the defaults.
I feel like I’m so close after six month of reading and re-installs, what do I do next?
There is not enough info in you mail what you tried to do, and or any logs showing what the system did. To make sure you installed the certificate properly, this is the way to import the engine CA certificate: 1. Download the certificate from: https://myengine.example.com/ovirt-engine/services/pki-resource?resource=ca-certificate&format=X509-PEM-CA 2. In Firefox settings, search "Certificates" and click "View certificates" 3. Click "Authorities" and "Import..." Select the certificate file, and enable the first checkbox for trusting web sites. 4. Reopen the browser to activate the certificate To test that the certificate works, open the "Disks" tab, and click "Upload > Start". Click "Test connection" - you should see a green message about successful connection to ovirt-imageio. Lets continue when you reach this. Nir
