disk locked after export as OVA

Hello, everyone. I tried to export a vm as OVA. I got a error in webui: VDSM ovirt1.ntbaobei.com command HSMGetAllTasksStatusesVDS failed: Volume Group not big enough: (u'Not enough free extents for extending LV d9f2378f-92f0-4bc1-96a8-20a0f2c575cb/c515a3f9-0590-4ebe-81c5-9d0993f1fec9 (free=848, needed=872)',) seems no enough space in the storage domain. I deleted the vm which i wanted to export as OVA before, but I saw a disk with id 8140d2e7-6908-438e-a646-23e58a33913e left in the storage and the status is locked. here's some log in the engine.log: 2018-09-17 14:27:03,467+08 INFO [org.ovirt.engine.core.vdsbroker.irsbroker.CopyImageVDSCommand] (EE-ManagedThreadFactory-engine-Thread-107849) [a407f6a9-445d-4ccc-b998-f9dfc6dc67ec] START, CopyImageVDSCommand( CopyImageVDSCommandParameters:{storagePoolId='79432500-ad45-11e8-98f3-00163e188641', ignoreFailoverLimit='false', storageDomainId='d9f2378f-92f0-4bc1-96a8-20a0f2c575cb', imageGroupId='ee55bbe7-8001-4c82-b1a6-0cac7710704b', imageId='701a7472-8c00-4b9f-aa87-4837eb128695', dstImageGroupId='8140d2e7-6908-438e-a646-23e58a33913e', vmId='b3aa623e-3072-430e-87d6-b81a3b07f466', dstImageId='c515a3f9-0590-4ebe-81c5-9d0993f1fec9', imageDescription='', dstStorageDomainId='d9f2378f-92f0-4bc1-96a8-20a0f2c575cb', copyVolumeType='LeafVol', volumeFormat='COW', preallocate='Sparse', postZero='false', discard='false', force='true'}), log id: 164e3046 2018-09-17 14:27:03,467+08 INFO [org.ovirt.engine.core.vdsbroker.irsbroker.CopyImageVDSCommand] (EE-ManagedThreadFactory-engine-Thread-107849) [a407f6a9-445d-4ccc-b998-f9dfc6dc67ec] ++ dstImageGUID=8140d2e7-6908-438e-a646-23e58a33913e I think maybe some command did not been excuted after I export the vm as OVA. I can find the similar case here: https://access.redhat.com/solutions/1298893 I have used the tool unlock_entity.sh but cannot find any disk that is locked. So what should I do to delete the disk that is been locked? yours Adam

Re: Cannot Increase Hosted Engine VM Memory

Agentless backup solutions

What backup solutions are people using? I'm only interested in host-level backups (no agents in the vm's) I am aware of the following products: https://storware.eu/en/storware-vprotect/ https://github.com/zipurman/oVIRT_Simple_Backup https://www.sepusa.com/ Any others?

Use public-signed SSL certs?
by Chris Adams 02 Aug '19

02 Aug '19

I installed an SSL cert from a public CA (Let's Encrypt) on my engine, following this: https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_virtualization/4.2/ht… That gets the regular web UI working, but I can't upload an ISO. I assume that I need to do something with the imageio-proxy service on the engine, but not sure what... I tried replacing imageio-proxy.cer and imageio-proxy.key.nopass, but that didn't work. I'm trying to avoid ever needing to install a special CA cert in browsers. -- Chris Adams <cma(a)cmadams.net>

reinstallation information
by nikkognt＠gmail.com 24 Jul '19

24 Jul '19

Hi, after a blackout one host of my ovirt not working properly. I tried to Reinstall it but ends with the following error "Failed to install Host ov1. Failed to execute stage 'Closing up': Failed to start service 'vdsmd'." I tried to start manually but it not start . Now, I would like to reinstall from iso ovirt node. After I put the host is in maintenance must I remove host from the cluster (Hosts -> host1 -> Remove) or I can reinstall without remove it? If I remore it from the cluster the network configurations I lose them or not? My ovirt version is oVirt Engine Version: 4.1.9.1-1.el7.centos.

Spice console very poor performance for Windows 10 vm
by Leo David 04 Jul '19

04 Jul '19

Hello Everyone, Maybe I am something wrong, but spice console seem to be very laggy and slow for windows 10 vms. I have tried both qxl and qxl-dod drivers, but no luck so far... As a notice, the Win 2012R2 vm console is running fine, the problem seems to only affect Windows 10. Any ideas, what should I do to sort this out ? Thank you very much ! Leo -- Best regards, Leo David

Supporting comments on ovirt-site Blog section
by Roy Golan 22 May '19

22 May '19

It would be very useful to have a comment section on our ovirt site. It is quite standard to have that on every blog out there, and for a reason - you get feedback and conversation around the topic, without going somewhere else (users list, irc, etc...) What do we need to do to help the middle man with that? Regards, Roy

Re: Gluster VM image Resync Time
by Strahil 18 May '19

18 May '19

By default ovirt uses 'sharding' which splits the files into logical chunks. This greatly reduces healing time, as VM's disk is not always completely overwritten and only the shards that are different will be healed. Maybe you should change the default shard size.
