Dear All: My ovirt engine managed two vdsms with nfs storage on another nfs server, it worked fine about three months. One of host (host_1.3; ip:172.18.1.3) was created about 16 vms, but the host_1.3 was shutdown unexpectly about 2019-12-23 16:11, when re-started host and vms; half of the vms was lost some configure or changed , such as lost theirs ip etc.(the vm name is 'zzh_Chain49_ACG_M' in the vdsm.log) the vm zzh_Chain49_ACG_M was create by rest API through vm's templated . the template is 20.1.1.161; the vm zzh_Chain49_ACG_M was created by ovirt rest api and changed the ip to 20.1.1.219 by ovirt rest api. But the ip was changed to templated ip when the accident happened. the vm's os is centos. Hope get help from you soon, Thank you. Mark Sincerely.

iSCSI connections and storage put into maintenance
by Gianluca Cecchi 22 Dec '19

22 Dec '19

Hello, I have a cluster composed by two hosts connected to some iSCSI storage domains. I have put one host into maintenance and I see that all the iSCSI sessions are closed. So far so good. Then I put one storage domain into maintenance and I would expect to see on the active host the (2) iSCSI sessions versus this storage domain to get closed. Instead I continue to see them up and "multipath -l" command gives me the 2 paths for the LUN part of the storage domain connection. Is this expected and only when I execute detach of the SD I will get the closure of the iSCSI connections? Because the detach phase will unregister the VMs and I would like not to do it, but at the same time I will have a planned maintenance for this storage domain and I would like to clean the connections on host side, to let multipath happy when they will go down for some hours... Thanks in advance for any insight. Gianluca

vdsmd 4.4.0 throws an exception in asyncore.py while updating OVF data
by alexandermurashkin＠msn.com 19 Dec '19

19 Dec '19

vdsmd 4.4.0 throws an exception in asyncore.py while updating OVF data. First exception occured on December 14th and happens every hour since then. An hour before the first exception, we updated engine's and host's rpms packages. We did not run engine-backup so we cannot restore oVirt database if it got corrupted. Currently, both engine (RHEL 7.7) and host (RHEL 8.1) have the most recent packages (and were rebooted). Neither the updates, nor reboots resolve the issue. In general, oVirt is working. We can run virtual machines with disks in the storage domain. We can create new virtual machines. But some functionality is not available, for example, we cannot move disks between domains. The storage domain in question is on NFS. After the issue appeared, we successfully created Glusterfs domain but its OVF update also failed. Interesting that it was possible to move disks to it before OVF failure. Here is the vdsmd traceback for your convinience 2019-12-17 16:36:58,393-0600 ERROR (Reactor thread) [vds.dispatcher] uncaptured python exception, closing channel <yajsonrpc.betterAsyncore.Dispatcher connected ('::ffff:172.20.1.142', 38002, 0, 0) at 0x7fbda865ed30> ( <class 'TypeError'>:object of type 'NoneType' has no len() [/usr/lib64/python3.6/asyncore.py|readwrite|108] [/usr/lib64/python3.6/asyncore.py|handle_read_event|423] [/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/yajsonrpc/betterAsyncore.py|handle_read|71] [/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/yajsonrpc/betterAsyncore.py|_delegate_call|168] [/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/vdsm/protocoldetector.py|handle_read|115] ) (betterAsyncore:179) I appreciate your help, Alexander Murashkin ------ Current Versions (that have the exception) ------ Engine ovirt-engine-4.4.0-0.0.master.20191204120550.git04d5d05.el7.noarch Host vdsm-4.40.0-1363.gitf6a1ba0a0.el8.x86_64 vdsm-python-4.40.0-1363.gitf6a1ba0a0.el8.noarch vdsm-yajsonrpc-4.40.0-1363.gitf6a1ba0a0.el8.noarch python3-libs-3.6.8-15.1.el8.x86_64 ------ December 13th Versions (that did not have the exception) ------ Engine ovirt-engine-4.4.0-0.0.master.20191204120550.git04d5d05.el7.noarch --- not sure, but probably the same as now Host vdsm-4.40.0-1360.git821afbbc2.el8.x86_64 vdsm-python-4.40.0-1360.git821afbbc2.el8.noarch vdsm-yajsonrpc-4.40.0-1360.git821afbbc2.el8.noarch python3-libs-3.6.8-15.1.el8.x86_64 ------ vdsm.log ------ 2019-12-17 16:36:58,393-0600 ERROR (Reactor thread) [vds.dispatcher] uncaptured python exception, closing channel <yajsonrpc.betterAsyncore.Dispatcher connected ('::ffff:172.20.1.142', 38002, 0, 0) at 0x7fbda865ed30> (<class 'TypeError'>:object of type 'NoneType' has no len() [/usr/lib64/python3.6/asyncore.py|readwrite|108] [/usr/lib64/python3.6/asyncore.py|handle_read_event|423] [/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/yajsonrpc/betterAsyncore.py|handle_read|71] [/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/yajsonrpc/betterAsyncore.py|_delegate_call|168] [/usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/vdsm/protocoldetector.py|handle_read|115]) (betterAsyncore:179) ----- engine.log ------ 2019-12-17 16:36:58,395-06 ERROR [org.ovirt.engine.core.bll.storage.ovfstore.UploadStreamCommand] (EE-ManagedScheduledExecutorService-engineScheduledThreadPool-Thread-95) [6c787bf3] Command 'org.ovirt.engine.core.bll.storage.ovfstore.UploadStreamCommand' failed: EngineException: org.ovirt.engine.core.vdsbroker.vdsbroker.VDSNetworkException: java.net.SocketException: Connection reset (Failed with error VDS_NETWORK_ERROR and code 5022) ------ Web Interface Events ------ Storage Domain Events Dec 17, 2019, 4:36:58 PM Failed to update VMs/Templates OVF data for Storage Domain storedom3 in Data Center Default. 36b41d9c oVirt Dec 17, 2019, 4:36:58 PM Failed to update OVF disks fcc661df-b2e3-4625-be40-52b65033c6d7, OVF data isn't updated on those OVF stores (Data Center Default, Storage Domain storedom3). 36b41d9c oVirt Host Events Dec 17, 2019, 4:38:20 PM Status of host poplar was set to Up. 399a2181 oVirt Dec 17, 2019, 4:36:58 PM Host poplar is not responding.

Re: Self hosted engine to hci
by Strahil 18 Dec '19

I have never done this , so you can simulate it on VMs before doint it : 1. Add the new host and put it in maintenance 2. You can backup your Hosted Engine VM and any critical VMs(just incase) 3. Create a new Gluster volume (either replica 3 or replica 2 arbiter 1) 4. Add the new volume via the UI as new storage 5. Do a storage migration from the distributed to the replica 3 volume. 6. Get rid of the old distributed volume and use it for something useful. 7. Remove the new hosts' maintenance and test live migration 8. Set global maintenance (via hosted-engine command) and poweroff the engine VM. 9. Manually power it up on a new host. 10. Remove global maintenance and shutdown a VM 11. Change the same VM to power up only on specific host and power it up. 12. Remove the limitation of that test VM (from step 10 & 11) And you are ready to go.
