oVirt updates available on host due to libvirt missing
by Gianluca Cecchi 12 Aug '16

12 Aug '16

Hello, My self hosted engine environment was born in 3.6.0 in November with CentOS 7 on host and CentOS 7 appliance. I managed several updates applying 3.6.2, then 3.6.5, then 4.0. Now I'm at 4.0.2 final and in web admin gui I see a message regarding updates available on host (hosted_engine_1) that doesn't go away. The host usually was updated through "yum update" and not from the gui during updates described above. In events pane it seems the problem is related with libvirt package Host hosted_engine_1 has available updates: libvirt. Actually at this moment the libvirt package (that seems actually a sort of meta-package) is not installed and I think has been never here. Situation is: [root@ractor log]# rpm -qa|grep libvirt libvirt-daemon-driver-network-1.2.17-13.el7_2.5.x86_64 libvirt-daemon-driver-interface-1.2.17-13.el7_2.5.x86_64 libvirt-daemon-kvm-1.2.17-13.el7_2.5.x86_64 libvirt-client-1.2.17-13.el7_2.5.x86_64 libvirt-daemon-1.2.17-13.el7_2.5.x86_64 libvirt-lock-sanlock-1.2.17-13.el7_2.5.x86_64 libvirt-daemon-driver-storage-1.2.17-13.el7_2.5.x86_64 libvirt-daemon-driver-qemu-1.2.17-13.el7_2.5.x86_64 libvirt-daemon-driver-nodedev-1.2.17-13.el7_2.5.x86_64 libvirt-python-1.2.17-2.el7.x86_64 libvirt-daemon-config-nwfilter-1.2.17-13.el7_2.5.x86_64 libvirt-daemon-driver-nwfilter-1.2.17-13.el7_2.5.x86_64 libvirt-daemon-driver-secret-1.2.17-13.el7_2.5.x86_64 [root@ractor log]# If I run "yum install libvirt" I'm proposed: Dependencies Resolved ==================================================================================================== Package Arch Version Repository Size ==================================================================================================== Installing: libvirt x86_64 1.2.17-13.el7_2.5 updates 119 k Installing for dependencies: libvirt-daemon-config-network x86_64 1.2.17-13.el7_2.5 updates 120 k libvirt-daemon-driver-lxc x86_64 1.2.17-13.el7_2.5 updates 747 k Transaction Summary ==================================================================================================== Install 1 Package (+2 Dependent packages) How to proceed?

time zone
by Fernando Fuentes 11 Aug '16

11 Aug '16

Team, My vms are coming up with an exclamation mark saying that the guest time zone differs from the configuration. My linux vms are not doing this. Only my windows vm. On windows I have it set for CST just like the configuration. The hosts are on CST as well. Any ideas? This is Ovirt 4.0.1 Regards, -- Fernando Fuentes ffuentes(a)txweather.org http://www.txweather.org

ovirt-Guest-agent CPU usage
by Tadas 11 Aug '16

11 Aug '16

Hello groups, we are having problem with ovirt-guest agent on Windows os. When started, agent fully utilizes one core (if machine has single core, then you will see 100% CPU usage, if there are two cores, then you will get 50% usage etc). Usage does not drop and persists for a whole time ovirt agent is running. This happens on windows 7 32 and 64 versions and also on windows 10. Have anybody had the same issue? Thank you.
