Update to Ovirt 4.3.10-4-1 causes XFS issue
Hi All I think I have come across this bug: https://access.redhat.com/solutions/5075561 Updating Ovirt to 4.3.10 shows that the kernel installed on the hosts is the version that has the issue: 3.10.0-1127.8.2.el7.x86_64 The RedHat article suggests updating to kernel-3.10.0-1127.10.1.el7 but running engine-upgrade-check now shows no updates available from my engine manager. Is this something I can fix myself or would the updated kernel be available? Appreciate the advice as new to Ovirt. Normally I would point the hosts to the new kernel but I think it should be updated through Ovirt manager, correct? Thanks! Chaz

On the engine my update method is the following: engine-setup yum upgrade engine-setup reboot So basically run engine-setup which will update the Ovirt packages, then you can "yum upgrade" to upgrade the base system, then re-run engine-setup just to be sure nothing broke. Then you can reboot into the new kernel. The reason I do this is that engine-setup wont upgrade the full OS (including kernel) -- it will only update the ovirt packages. Hope this helps,
Thanks! Chaz

Thank you for the response! I tried to do another upgrade again on the ovirt manager and can confirm that it is now in the supposedly fixed version of the kernel. However, when I try to update the hosts using the prescribed gui style method they do report back as no updates available. Should I force an update on the kernel on the hosts or is this not advised?

There shouldn't be a need. Are you sure the hosts are running the old kernel? The hosts should just update via "yum update", although I admit I don't know what the "update" function from the UI does under the covers. I have a single-host hyperconverged system so I have to update manually.. You can check if there is anything to do by logging into the host and running: "yum check-update"; it shouldn't list anything.
Thanks Chaz

Yeah, running yum update from the affected host shows no packages marked for update: # yum update Loaded plugins: enabled_repos_upload, fastestmirror, imgbased-persist, package_upload, product-id, search-disabled-repos, subscription-manager, vdsmupgrade, : versionlock This system is not registered with an entitlement server. You can use subscription-manager to register. Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile * ovirt-4.3-epel: fedora.melbourneitmirror.net No packages marked for update Uploading Enabled Repositories Report Cannot upload enabled repos report, is this client registered? From the host the kernel version is # uname -r 3.10.0-1127.8.2.el7.x86_64 However, I updated the ovirt manager prior and that seems to have gotten the updated kernel: # uname -r 3.10.0-1127.10.1.el7.x86_64 Somehow I cannot get the host to update it's kernel without maybe manually downloading the RPM but I don't know if that will break the Ovirt setttings. Appreciate any advice!
