About Windows guest agent
by jingjie.jiang＠oracle.com 20 Nov '18

20 Nov '18

Hi, I am new in oVirt and I'd like to get the clarification about the packages which support the function of Window guest agent from 4.2 release and how to build it. I looked through the document from ovirt.org, such as https://www.ovirt.org/documentation/internal/guest-agent/guest-agent-for-wi… It mentioned: "With the release of oVirt 3.5 we have introduced the oVirt WGT (Windows Guest Tools). The oVirt WGT provides an ISO with all the tools and drivers one needs to install on a Windows VM, with an easy to use installer to install it all in one step. So manual compilation and installation of oVirt Guest Agent is no longer necessary. The oVirt WGT ISO is included in ovirt-guest-tools-iso-3.5-7.noarch.rpm package." Now, ovirt-guest-tools-iso is up to 4.2.4. I found the src rpm from https://resources.ovirt.org/pub/ovirt-4.2/rpm/el7/SRPMS/ovirt-guest-tools-i…, but I could not find ovirt-guest-tools-iso from github, only found ovirt-wgt. After clone the ovirt-wgt, I got the SPICE-tools-0.141.iso built. My question is : 1. Is ovirt-wgt used for Windows guest? 2. If so, how can I build ovirt-guest-tools-iso package or ovirt-tools-setup.iso Thanks, Jingjie

Call for translators: Russian and Czech
by Sandro Bonazzola 20 Nov '18

20 Nov '18

Hi, one of the beta release criteria is that supported languages have translations at least at 70% of completion. According to zanata[1] we currently have Chinese (Simplified, China) (zh-Hans-CN): 95.1% Czech (cs): 33.97% French (fr) 95.1% German (de) 95.1% Italian (it) 85.84% Japanese (ja): 95.1% Korean (ko) 95.1% Portuguese (Brazil) (pt-BR): 95.1% Russian (ru): 25.17% Spanish (es): 95.1% So, right now Czech and Russian are not meeting release criteria for beta release and are candidate to be disabled in 4.3 unless translators pushes the missing parts.

[ovrit-users] Anyone with Fiber Channel oVirt Storage Experience?
by Jacob Green 20 Nov '18

20 Nov '18

I just have a few simple questions, have you migrated a fiber channel storage domain from one ovirt environment to another? And how did it go, did it just work aside from having to import all the vms and configure their settings was it any more difficult than that? We want to migrate our fiber channel storage with VM's intact from an oVirt 4.1 environment to a brand new oVirt 4.2 environment. We are using fiber channel via An HP MSA. I do not for see any issues, but since we have never done it before, and we do not have spare Fiber Channel storage to test with, we are just unsure of what the behavior should be. So just wanted to get some opinions or basic guidance, is there anything we should watch out for and does it "just work". -- Jacob Green Systems Admin 713-300-5690

External VMs automatically deleted when powered down
by andyg1001＠hotmail.co.uk 20 Nov '18

20 Nov '18

Hi, I have a pressing problem with oVirt, which is sadly languishing as a bug report (#1610917), so I thought I would also raise it here in case anyone else has experience of this and can suggest a workaround or, better yet, a solution to my problem :o) Simply put, the problem is this. I have oVirt 4.2.7 installed on a Cent-OS 7.5 server. It is also necessary, due to various factors, to run what oVirt terms "external VMs" on this server, i.e. ones not managed by oVirt but managed separately, e.g. via virt-manager or virsh. The problem is that once these VMs are shut down (e.g. within the VM or by a command from virt-manager), they are automatically deleted by oVirt some 15 seconds later. The bug report noted above has more details, but these VMs are not created as temporary VMs, and when running the older oVirt 4.1.x or 3.8.x versions, this didn't happen. Looking through the oVirt and libvirt logs, it is really clear that oVirt is responsible for deleting these VMs, so I can rule out any other nefarious agent! Does anyone know of a way of preventing oVirt from deleting external VMs, like a special config option or something? Or does anyone know how to mark a VM as "protected from deletion"? I know oVirt VMs have an option for "delete protection", but oVirt gives the error "Cannot edit VM. This VM is not managed by the engine." if you try to enable it on an external VM. Many thanks, Andy

Who are field-service technicians
by sirishanaginip92＠gmail.com 19 Nov '18

19 Nov '18

Those engineers who work on fields and provide on field service are termed as field technicians. For example, consider 3 SWAN deployments. To complete network deployment, telecom engineers should visit the field and as an initial step, they should perform a site survey followed by deployment. The entire process mentioned needs field service, where their physical presence is required, Hence the need for field service technicians is been increased day by day. Here is the useful URL, that helps in finding the telecom freelancers. https://www.fieldengineer.com/

Please try the api/sdk as suggested by Nir and tell us if you have any comments/issues etc. Thanks. Actually I thought we already deprecated it in 4.2, but I now searched and can't find anything like [1][2] (which was for the image uploader) or a note in the release notes [3]. Adding Sandro.

VM stuck in paused mode with Cluster Compatibility Version 3.6 on 4.2 cluster
by Marco Lorenzo Crociani 19 Nov '18

19 Nov '18

Hi, we upgraded ovirt from version 4.1 to 4.2.6. Rebooted all vms. We missed two vms that were at Cluster Compatibility Version 3.6. There was a gluster/network IO problem and vms got paused. We were able to recover all the other vms from the paused state but we have two vms that won't run because: "Cannot run VM. The Custom Compatibility Version of VM VM_NAME (3.6) is not supported in Data Center compatibility version 4.1." Can we force the CCV of the paused vm to 4.1? Regards, -- Marco Crociani

troubleshooting node upgrade failures
by Jayme 19 Nov '18

19 Nov '18

I have a very standard three node HCI setup running the latest version of oVirt 4.2. I've been having some problems updating hosts, the last update that was released a few weeks ago would produce installfailed when updating hosts. I was able to resolve this by rebooting the host first then performing the update. I eventually got all three hosts updated. Fast forward to this week, a new update is available. I've updated engine successfully but first host, I put in to maintenance then updated and the install is failing. I've rebooted it twice and attempted update again but no go this time. What logs should I be looking at to determine what is causing the node update failures?
