Hello Yedidyah

Many thanks for clarification.

If I wanted to convert my all-in-one installation to a "supported" one (on a single box), would I have to migrate my engine into a self-hosted VM? What would be the most common way to conform?


I was able to fix my problem by:


Many thanks

Hello Ritesh

Engine and host is the same. There is only one box.
This is called all-in-one. Was officially supported until 3.6, and is
unsupported, undocumented and untested these days, although people
seem to be using it, and even more-or-less successfully.

To get an overview of what you should do, if you follow the current
documentation, you should read both engine-specific parts and
hosts-specific parts.

The vdsm daemon does not seem to exist.

# systemctl status vdsmd
Unit vdsmd.service could not be found.

Should I assume that there is a component missing, which should have been installed?
I just checked the installation documentation, and was not able to spot a step that could be missing.

Hello,

Looks like you are checking this directory in the engine. You will get this in the host.
Also check vdsm service is running or not using systemctl status vdsmd

Hello Ritesh

I can see the NIC attached to the host in the UI.
However, I don’t have a directory /var/log/vdsm.
I am sharing the filetree of my /var/log in the separately attached text file:

Thanks, Toni

Hello,

Can you share vdsm logs you can find at /var/log/vdsm/vdsm.log.

I guess this might be a vdsm issue between an engine and host.
also check in ui whether a nic is attached to the host after upgrade.

 Hi

I am looking for help after my oVirt upgrade failed.


I have upgraded from ovirt 4.3 to 4.4 following the instructions here:

https://www.ovirt.org/documentation/upgrade_guide/#Upgrading_from_4-3

It's a single-host (standalone engine) test environment.
I wiped CentOS 7 and reinstalled a fresh CentOS 8.
I installed the oVirt 4.4 repo and all the necessary software packets.

I used `engine-backup --mode=restore --file=/tmp/ovirt-engine-pre-upgrade.backup --provision-all-databases` from a backup file I created before I started the upgrade.
After the restore, I ran `engine-setup`.

I did not get any errors during any of these steps on the console.
So the upgrade could be considered successful from that perspective.

After the upgrade, I login to the ovirt admin portal, and I try to "Activate" my host (was set to "Maintenance" mode before upgrade).
Please try 'Reinstall'.

This should install vdsm for you, among many other things.

Best regards,

The Activation fails with error "NonResponsive" in the GUI.
Under the "bell" icon, I find the Event "Host nuc1.feric.ch is non responsive.”

In /var/log/ovirt-engine/engine.log, I find the following error:
```
2020-11-09 23:12:21,080+01 ERROR [org.ovirt.engine.core.vdsbroker.vdsbroker.GetCapabilitiesAsyncVDSCommand] (EE-ManagedScheduledExecutorService-engineScheduledThreadPool-Thread-47) [] Command 'GetCapabilitiesAsyncVDSCommand(HostName = nuc1.feric.ch, VdsIdAndVdsVDSCommandParametersBase:{hostId='d7c30cc0-ac59-4cf3-a1e7-b9fae9db83fb', vds=‘Host[nuc1.feric.h,d7c30cc0-ac59-4cf3-a1e7-b9fae9db83fb]'})' execution failed: java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused
```

`systemctl status ovirt-engine` shows that the engine is running.
I am able to reboot the host from the oVirt GUI directly.

Does anyone have an idea how to proceed?

Many thanks
Toni
