oVirt 4.4 Engine data migration & GUI notes
Hi ! I have installed new oVirt 4.4 Engine (as separate entity, not hosted engine) and migrated data from old 4.3 installation. Everything went smooth. Q: Which PostgreSQL password now active - new one I entered during install or old which could migrate with old data? I noticed GUI changes straight on dashboard. Icons on top (data centres, clusters, hosts, etc) are simply put, too huge. This serves no useful purpose whatsoever, and consumes screen real estate for no reason. Decreasing their size by 2/3 will help to make 1st page more informative at 1st sight without extra scrolling. with best regards Andrei

Can you please clarify exactly what you did? Did you use engine-backup backup/restore?

I do not think you should have been prompted for a password during install, unless you refer to Grafana's admin. Please clarify. Perhaps you used a remote database?

Adding Laura for this part. Perhaps better start a new thread, or open a bug, next time... It's less comfortable to discuss two unrelated things in the same mail thread. Thanks and best regards, -- Didi

Regarding dashboard large icons, which browser are you using? If it's firefox 68.10 ESR, then I guess you are referring to this bug https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1855761 which is already fixed for next oVirt version (4.4.2). Thanks, Sharon

Yes, ovirt built-in backup/restore engine-backup --mode=restore --log=restore1.log --file=ovirt-engine-backup-20200721122423.backup --provision-db --provision-dwh-db --no-restore-permissions

Database local, not remote. I had a prompt for postgresql password during install. oVirt Engine 4.4 fresh install on CentOS 8.2 appliance, with these command, instruction from official web site, then restore from backup (snippet above) yum install https://resources.ovirt.org/pub/yum-repo/ovirt-release44.rpm yum module -y enable javapackages-tools yum module -y enable pki-deps yum module -y enable postgresql:12 yum install postgresql-server postgresql-contrib postgresql-setup --initdb systemctl enable postgresql; systemctl start postgresql su - postgres -c psql create role engine with login encrypted password ‘my password'; create role ovirt_engine_history with login encrypted password 'my password'; create database engine owner engine template template0 encoding 'UTF8' lc_collate 'en_US.UTF-8' lc_ctype 'en_US.UTF-8'; create database ovirt_engine_history owner ovirt_engine_history template template0 encoding 'UTF8' lc_collate 'en_US.UTF-8' lc_ctype 'en_US.UTF-8'; \c engine CREATE EXTENSION "uuid-ossp"; CREATE LANGUAGE plpgsql; \c ovirt_engine_history CREATE EXTENSION "uuid-ossp"; CREATE LANGUAGE plpgsql;

Database local, not remote. I had a prompt for postgresql password during install.
When exactly?
oVirt Engine 4.4 fresh install on CentOS 8.2 appliance, with these command, instruction from official web site, then restore from backup (snippet above)
yum install https://resources.ovirt.org/pub/yum-repo/ovirt-release44.rpm yum module -y enable javapackages-tools yum module -y enable pki-deps yum module -y enable postgresql:12 yum install postgresql-server postgresql-contrib postgresql-setup --initdb systemctl enable postgresql; systemctl start postgresql
su - postgres -c psql create role engine with login encrypted password ‘my password'; create role ovirt_engine_history with login encrypted password 'my password';
create database engine owner engine template template0 encoding 'UTF8' lc_collate 'en_US.UTF-8' lc_ctype 'en_US.UTF-8'; create database ovirt_engine_history owner ovirt_engine_history template template0 encoding 'UTF8' lc_collate 'en_US.UTF-8' lc_ctype 'en_US.UTF-8';
\c engine CREATE EXTENSION "uuid-ossp"; CREATE LANGUAGE plpgsql;
\c ovirt_engine_history CREATE EXTENSION "uuid-ossp"; CREATE LANGUAGE plpgsql;
Sorry, I do not understand. Please explain the issue with more details - what did you do, what happened. Please attach relevant logs, e.g. from /var/log/ovirt-engine/setup/* . Generally speaking, you do not need to create databases or users manually before restore. Using --provision* options should do that for you. In principle, depending on exact conditions, it indeed can happen that you'll be prompted for DB credentials. It's hard to guess, though, what was the exact issue, without more details and logs.
