Help needed enabling copr builds for ovirt-ansible-collection
by Sandro Bonazzola 27 Oct '21

27 Oct '21

Hi, I was looking at ovirt-ansible-collection build scripts and I need help preparing a Makefile as https://github.com/oVirt/ovirt-host/blob/master/.copr/Makefile for this package. It will be executed on a Fedora 34 host and then the resulting SRPM is going to be rebuilt with mock for el8 / el9 as needed. This package seems to do weird stuff with pip to get ansible / ansible-core in the build root and we need to streamline the build to avoid this workaround. @Martin Necas <mnecas(a)redhat.com> , @Martin Perina <mperina(a)redhat.com> can you help? -- Sandro Bonazzola MANAGER, SOFTWARE ENGINEERING, EMEA R&D RHV Red Hat EMEA <https://www.redhat.com/> sbonazzo(a)redhat.com <https://www.redhat.com/> *Red Hat respects your work life balance.

Java Xmx limit building ovirt-engine package
by Marcos Sungaila 26 Oct '21

26 Oct '21

Hello, I'm facing a weird behave when rebuilding the ovirt-engine rpm package. When I run a rpmbuild -ba ovirt-engine.spec, it fails with the following error: [ERROR] Out of memory; to increase the amount of memory Also, it indicates the option -Xmx8192M in the pom.xml file. The weird part is that building the application in the command line works fine but not in the rpmbuild, neither using a mock build system. I checked this page https://github.com/oVirt/ovirt-engine from GitHub and tested those variables with no success. Can anyone point me where I can find how to use those variables when building the package or have experience building this package/application to explain it? Thank you in advance for any help. Regards, Marcos

[ANN] oVirt 4.4.9 is now generally available
by Sandro Bonazzola 21 Oct '21

21 Oct '21

oVirt 4.4.9 is now generally available The oVirt project is excited to announce the general availability of oVirt 4.4.9 , as of October 20th, 2021. 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, as compared to oVirt 4.3. Important! Known issues Please note qemu-kvm, shipped outside oVirt, is affected by BZ#1999141 <https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1999141> - migration fails with: "qemu-kvm: get_pci_config_device: Bad config data: i=0x9a read: 3 device: 2 cmask: ff wmask: 0 w1cmask:0" It has been detected to wait for a fix before building oVirt Node update as it includes qemu-kvm. If you haven’t updated to qemu-kvm 6 yet please don’t update it. Upgraded systems will NOT be able to migrate VMs anywhere else, not even once the issue is fixed. Important notes before you install / upgrade Please note that oVirt 4.4 only supports clusters and data centers with compatibility version 4.2 and above. If clusters or data centers are running with an older compatibility version, you need to upgrade them to at least 4.2 (4.3 is recommended). Please note that in RHEL 8 / CentOS 8 several devices that worked on EL7 are no longer supported. For example, the megaraid_sas driver is removed. If you use Enterprise Linux 8 hosts you can try to provide the necessary drivers for the deprecated hardware using the DUD method (See the users’ mailing list thread on this at https://lists.ovirt.org/archives/list/users@ovirt.org/thread/NDSVUZSESOXEFJ… ) Documentation - If you want to try oVirt as quickly as possible, follow the instructions on the Download <https://ovirt.org/download/> page. - For complete installation, administration, and usage instructions, see the oVirt Documentation <https://ovirt.org/documentation/>. - For upgrading from a previous version, see the oVirt Upgrade Guide <https://ovirt.org/documentation/upgrade_guide/>. - For a general overview of oVirt, see About oVirt <https://ovirt.org/community/about.html>.

importing an ovirt vm via the API for "Virtual Appliance OVA"
by divan＠santanas.co.za 20 Oct '21

20 Oct '21

Hi oVirt Team, Reading the API docs http://ovirt.github.io/ovirt-engine-api-model/4.3/#services/external_vm_imp… http://ovirt.github.io/ovirt-engine-api-model/4.3/#types/external_vm_provid… and ovirt_vm module https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/collections/ovirt/ovirt/ovirt_vm_mo… I see support for - kvm - vmware - XEN In the oVirt web GUI (4.3) there is under compute -> VM -> import -> source options for: - kvm - vmware - XEN - Virtual Appliance OVA I'm trying to import an OVA that sits on the file system on the oVirt node. Via the GUI selecting Virtual Appliance OVA does the job. Is the API missing this functionality or am I missing something?

Cluster version - where is it defined?
by Marcos Sungaila 19 Oct '21

19 Oct '21

Hello, I'm trying to understand where the Cluster Compatibility version is defined and which commands are supported in each version. I'm inspecting the ovirt-engine, libvirt, and vdsm source code, but I imagine there is any paper or webpage where it is defined. At least a list with features or commands, something like this. I searched this list and found pretty old messages, but no clue on this topic. Regards, Marcos

Need to complie kmod-cxgb3
by hazenvs＠gmail.com 15 Oct '21

15 Oct '21

So, ELRepo no longer supports CentOS Stream 8.x I used to be able to: Chelsio T320 10GB/s Card Mods 1. rpm --import https://www.elrepo.org/RPM-GPG-KEY-elrepo.org 2. yum install https://www.elrepo.org/elrepo-release-8.el8.elrepo.noarch.rpm 3. yum install kmod-cxgb3 However this no longer works, how would i go about compiling the RPM from source tar and then push the kmod into oVirt? This worked in March of 2021; however due to a lack of Resources ElRepo no longer supports the chosen Stream OS of oVirt. I need to build the kmod-cxgb3 from source for this to work.
