oVirt 4.4.0 Alpha release refresh is now available for testing

oVirt 4.4.0 Alpha release refresh is now available for testing The oVirt Project is excited to announce the availability of the alpha release refresh of oVirt 4.4.0 for testing, as of March 6th, 2020 This release unleashes an altogether more powerful and flexible open source virtualization solution that encompasses hundreds of individual changes and a wide range of enhancements across the engine, storage, network, user interface, and analytics on top of oVirt 4.3. Important notes before you try it Please note this is an Alpha release. The oVirt Project makes no guarantees as to its suitability or usefulness. This pre-release must not to be used in production, and it is not feature complete. In particular, please note that upgrades from 4.3 and future upgrades from this alpha to the final 4.4 release from this version are not supported. Some of the features included in oVirt 4.4.0 Alpha require content that will be available in CentOS Linux 8.2 which are currently included in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.2 beta. If you want to have a better experience you can test oVirt 4.4.0 Alpha on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.2 beta.

We are not fast enough updating our build infrastructure to keep up with Fedora releases pace. Our CI is currently building for Fedora 30 which will go EOL in 2 months and we have no capacity to update it to build for Fedora 31/32 in a short loop. In theory it should work also on Fedora 31/32 if someone can take the task of rebuilding the rpms for Fedora.

Please note this is an Alpha release.
The oVirt Project makes no guarantees as to its suitability or usefulness.
This pre-release must not to be used in production, and it is not feature complete.
In particular, please note that upgrades from 4.3 and future upgrades from this alpha to the final 4.4 release from this version are not supported.
Although, I successfully managed to upgrade my el7 4.3 engine to 4.4 a few weeks ago... do it means it is not feasable anymore.
Some of the features included in oVirt 4.4.0 Alpha require content that will be available in CentOS Linux 8.2 which are currently included in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.2 beta. If you want to have a better experience you can test oVirt 4.4.0 Alpha on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.2 beta.
Known Issues

After installation open the Default cluster and hit “Save”, for any other new Cluster using CPU autodetection the dialog needs to be explicitly saved after the detection happens, after first host is added. (bug https://bugzilla.redhat.com/1770697)
Installation instructions
For the engine: either use appliance or:
- Install CentOS Linux 8 minimal from http://centos.mirror.garr.it/centos/8.1.1911/isos/x86_64/CentOS-8.1.1911-x86...
An el7 for the engine was required with the first alpha releases, so it means that final 4.4 won't support el7 anymore for engine?
- dnf install https://resources.ovirt.org/pub/yum-repo/ovirt-release44-pre.rpm
- dnf update (reboot if needed)
- dnf module enable -y javapackages-tools pki-deps 389-ds
- dnf install ovirt-engine
- engine-setup
For the nodes:
Either use oVirt Node ISO or:
- Install CentOS Linux 8 from http://centos.mirror.garr.it/centos/8.1.1911/isos/x86_64/CentOS-8.1.1911-x86...; select minimal installation

What’s new in oVirt 4.4.0 Alpha?
*
Hypervisors based on CentOS Linux 8 (rebuilt from award winning RHEL8), for both oVirt Node and standalone CentOS Linux hosts
*
Easier network management and configuration flexibility with NetworkManager
*
VMs based on a more modern Q35 chipset with legacy seabios and UEFI firmware

Correct. Upgrade from 4.3 to 4.4 will be like from 3.6 to 4.0 using backup / restore for the engine.

Correct. Upgrade from 4.3 to 4.4 will be like from 3.6 to 4.0 using backup / restore for the engine.
Speaking in terms of RHV (explicitely not oVirt) this means that since 4.3 has no EUS support (only 4.2) all systems on 4.3 will have to upgrade to 4.4 pretty much instantly after RHV 4.4 becomes available in order to receive further security updates if I understand this correctly. (I guess that those with hosted engine will be in an easier position.) Thanks for the clarification. Regards Mathieu

RHV 4.3 will have EUS due to the exact reason that RHV 4.4 changes the Hosts as well as the Engine to RHEL 8. Also RHV 4.3 does have the SAP HANA certification for MultiVM (which RHV 4.4 does not have yet). So there is no need to update to RHV 4.4 as soon as it is released. Does that help? Cheers, Martin

Yes, that does indeed. Last time I checked the Lifecycle Page of RHV* I remembered that no EUS was planned. Maybe that's the somewhat confusing part where it still says that no EUS support is given for 4.3, however support ends April 2021, which gives some time for the transition, which is the important part to me due to the migration to an EL8 base - to which I'm otherwise looking forward to.

Hi, The pre-release seems to be missing the ovirt-imageio-proxy. Why is that? How can one import a (non-openstack glance) template to the system?

The project is working on getting rid of the duplications between the daemon and the proxy, and have a single program doing both functions. Not sure about current status, adding Vojtech.

Hi,
The pre-release seems to be missing the ovirt-imageio-proxy.
Why is that? How can one import a (non-openstack glance) template to the system? Both UI and ovirt.image-template ansible role seems to require it. The project is working on getting rid of the duplications between the daemon and the proxy, and have a single program doing both functions.
correct, in the future we want only daemon module and remove proxy completely as it's not PY3 ready
Not sure about current status, adding Vojtech.
WIP, we had some more urgent issue to work on, but I'm returning back to this now
Thanks, Sakari

Hi, Thanks for the clarification. I have a followup question tough. While working around the issue (lack imageio proxy) I ended up creating an external glance provider. I noticed it is still using the old glance V1 api. Is there a plan to start using the current glance V2 api (in the Open Stack Image provider) ? I could not use the built in glance provider since I am behind a corporate http proxy which is not supported configuration either.

I don't know about the glance issue, but you need to proxy only for uploading from the UI, or if you cannot access the hypervisors from the host you run the upload on. If you can access the hosts, you can use this to upload images: https://github.com/oVirt/ovirt-engine-sdk/blob/master/sdk/examples/upload_di... This is much more powerful compared with the UI, for example it can convert image format on the fly (e.g upload qcow2 image to raw disk) and is much faster. Here an example usage: $ echo -n my-password > password $ python3 upload_disk.py \ --engine-url https://engine/ \ --username admin@internal \ --password-file password \ --cafile ca.pem \ --sd-name my-iscsi-sd \ --disk-format raw \ my-img.qcow2 Check python3 upload_disk.py --help for more info Nir
I could not use the built in glance provider since I am behind a corporate http proxy which is not supported configuration either.

There's one mention of "Cinder" on https://www.ovirt.org/release/4.4.0/. Will oVirt 4.4 support recent versions of OpenStack for "OpenStack Block Storage" (standalone Cinder)? Currently we are stuck with OpenStack Pike. I know about cinderlib, but this is a completely different approach when used with Ceph (krbd vs. librdb), I don't know if it's production ready and I don't see a migration path. I know that "OpenStack Block Storage" in oVirt 4.3 isn't officially "production ready" either, but it work's for us and I would be very happy if I could continue using it. thanks Matthias

Installation instructions
For the engine: either use appliance or:
- Install CentOS Linux 8 minimal from http://centos.mirror.garr.it/centos/8.1.1911/isos/x86_64/CentOS-8.1.1911-x86...
- dnf install https://resources.ovirt.org/pub/yum-repo/ovirt-release44-pre.rpm
- dnf update (reboot if needed)
- dnf module enable -y javapackages-tools pki-deps 389-ds
- dnf install ovirt-engine
- engine-setup
For the nodes:
Either use oVirt Node ISO or:
- Install CentOS Linux 8 from http://centos.mirror.garr.it/centos/8.1.1911/isos/x86_64/CentOS-8.1.1911-x86...; select minimal installation
- dnf config-manager --set-enabled PowerTools
- dnf install https://resources.ovirt.org/pub/yum-repo/ovirt-release44-pre.rpm
- dnf update (reboot if needed)
- Attach the host to engine and let it be deployed.
Followed the instructions and it does work :-) But I also tested if I could setup a hosted engine but that fails. Should that work too but did I make a mistake or is that part not ready yet? If it should work I can try again and upload logs if needed. Thanks, Joop
