[IMPORTANT] Upgrade to postgresql-jdbc-42.2.14-1 breaks oVirt Engine 4.4/4.5

Hi, Unfortunately we have just found that latest release of postgresql-jdbc-42.2.14-1 breaks existing oVirt Engine 4.4 and 4.5 installations running on CentOS Stream. The workaround is to downgrade to previous version, for example postgresql-jdbc-42.2.3-3 should work fine. Here are detailed instructions: 1. If you have already upgraded to postgresql-jdbc-42.2.14-1, please downgrade to previous version: $ dnf downgrade postgresql-jdbc $ systemctl restart ovirt-engine 2. If you are going to upgrade your oVirt Engine machine, please exclude postgresql-jdbc package from upgrades: $ dnf update -x postgresql-jdbc We have created https://bugzilla.redhat.com/2077794 to track this issue, but unfortunately we don't have a fix yet. Regards, Martin -- Martin Perina Manager, Software Engineering Red Hat Czech s.r.o.

Hi, oVirt 4.5.0.8 async release has fixed the issue with postgresql-jdbc drivers: https://lists.ovirt.org/archives/list/users@ovirt.org/thread/GAENJ2DPZSDCC27... So for oVirt 4.5.0.8 you no longer need to exclude postgresql-jdbc >= 42.2.14 package during installation/upgrade.

Probably worth pointing out that if you (as I did) update to 4.5.0.8 and exclude the postgresql-jdbc update you'll wind up with 500 - Internal Server Error When you try to login to the admin console again. On Wed, 11 May 2022 at 13:43, Martin Perina <mperina@redhat.com> wrote:

Hi, as mentioned in 4.5.0.8 announcement and Doc Text of https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2077794 postgresql-jdbc >= 42.2.14 is required for ovirt-engine to work properly.

Perhaps we should have updated the spec file to Require: the correct version. This would have caused engine-setup (upgrade), if the new version was excluded/blocked/whatever, to fail - rather early and safely, IMO. Best regards,

For those running RHEL 8.6 / Alma 8.6 / Rocky ... , rebuilding postgresql-jdbc for Virt SIG: https://cbs.centos.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=2801764 Should land on mirrors later today.

Right, unfortunately we have somehow missed that 😞 It should be fixed in oVirt 4.5.1: https://github.com/oVirt/ovirt-engine/pull/373

Hi, I have installed oVirt node 4.4.10.2 (from bootable ISO) on two servers this past week. Upon starting hosted engine install on first node, I keep hitting the postgresql issue. I am new to oVirt, so forgive me for this simple question: but now that fix has been released for this, how can I take advantage of this? Will updated oVirt node ISO be released soon containing the fixes, or do I have to download the fixed hosted engine VM package(s) separately to my existing oVirt node? Thanks, Andrew Tonkin

This has been solved in oVirt 4.5.0 recent asyncs.
