Does cluster upgrade wait for heal before proceeding to next host?
by Jayme 16 Sep '19

16 Sep '19

I've yet to have cluster upgrade finish updating my three host HCI cluster. The most recent try was today moving from oVirt 4.3.3 to 4.3.5.5. The first host updates normally, but when it moves on to the second host it fails to put it in maintenance and the cluster upgrade stops. I suspect this is due to that fact that after my hosts are updated it takes 10 minutes or more for all volumes to sync/heal. I have 2Tb SSDs. Does the cluster upgrade process take heal time in to account before attempting to place the next host in maintenance to upgrade it? Or is there something else that may be at fault here, or perhaps a reason why the heal process takes 10 minutes after reboot to complete?

CentOS 6 in oVirt
by Dominik Holler 16 Sep '19

Hello, are the official CentOS 6 cloud images known to work in oVirt? I tried, but they seem not to work in oVirt [1], but on plain libvirt. Are there any pitfalls known during using them in oVirt? Thanks Dominik [1] https://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/c/101117/

VMs stuck at Migrating status in Dashboard- Trying to cancel migration will yield "cannot cancel migration for non-migrating vm"
by paul.christian.suba＠cevalogistics.com 16 Sep '19

Saw this problem initially on one host. Host was stuck in entering maintenance mode since it could not migrate a VM from itself. Manually shutdown that VM and also restarted the host. After restart, some VMs are stuck in a migrating status while trying to "migrate" to the rebooted host. oVirt Node 4.3.1

How do I make delta clones ? OVM (aka Xen) vs Ovirt
by Tim Tuck 15 Sep '19

15 Sep '19

Hi all, I'm new to Ovirt coming from a OVM ( aka Xen ) environment and I'm trying to work out how to do similar things. In my OVM environment I have VMs that are 100GB in size. These VMs are templates that are used for running customer workshops so we create and destroy them quite often. In OVM I can clone 10 x 100GB VM's in about 1 minute, the cloning process just creates a "delta" VM rather than copying the entire 100GB. Those VM's can then be run and the on-disk size of the delta VM grows as it runs and deviates from the master. The same goes for templates, creating a 100GB VM from a template takes only a few seconds. Creating a template from a VM only takes a few seconds. My problem is that I cant seem to do any of this using Ovirt. it appears that there is no way to tell the cloning process " I want 10" like I can in OVM - am I missing something here? In my tests I find that even if a "snapshot" is made, the entire VM is copied rather than creating a delta. Creating a VM from a template is no different in that it copies the entire VM. So... Is it possible for Ovirt to create multiple clones on request ? Can Ovirt do "delta" copies rather than copy the entire VM ? If Ovirt can do these things, how do I set it up to to do that ? Any help appreciated. thanks Tim --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus

Have you marked your host as 'recently rebooted' (or whatever was the name in the UI)?

Re: VMs inaccessible from Ubuntu/Debian-based OS
by Strahil 12 Sep '19

Hi, I have just tested ovirt VNC console (.vv file) with remote-viewer and it works. Ensure that you have acees to hosts' ports 5900-5999 , as this is the VNC port. Otherwise you can configure noVNC, but it requires port 6100 (based on memory).

In my understanding virt-viewer and remote-viewer are somewhat the same? (Remote-viewer usin virt-viewer) Should I access the VM's console from the ternimal? I have tried changing the VM's graphics type from spice to spice+vnc but still nothing. All I get is a blank window and a message stating that it cannot access the graphic server. > > Thanks again for your help. > > Maria Souvalioti > > > Sent from BlueMail > On 30 Aug 2019, at 7:48 pm, Strahil <hunter86_bg(a)yahoo.com> wrote: >> >> You need virt-viewer installed on your ubuntu or change console type to spice. >> >> >> Best Regards, >> Strahil NikolovOn Aug 30, 2019 15:35, souvaliotimaria(a)mail.com wrote: >>> >>> >>> Hello all, >>> >>> I'm having an issue the past couple of days.

Health Warning: Cinnamon toxic when adding EL7 nodes as oVirt hosts
by thomas＠hoberg.net 12 Sep '19

Of course a desktop on a virtualization host isn't really recommended, but actually, managing highly or even high-available supports services as VMs on a set of fat workstations under the control of oVirt can be rather useful... And I prefer Cinnamon so much over the other desktops, it gets installed almost first after setup... Which turns out to be a mistake with oVirt. Anyhow, to make a long journey of hair-pulling root-cause searching short: Installing Cinnamon from EPEL has Otopi not find rpmUtils for one reason or another, even if I can see it on both sides, the engine and the target host. Remove Cinnamon, it works again and you can re-install Cinnamon after. I didn't test re-deploys, but I'd expect them to fail. Don't know if this should be a bug report, since Cinnamon very unfortunately doesn't seem official just yet. This is what you may expect to see in the engine logs: 2019-08-22 09:49:24,152+0200 DEBUG otopi.context context._executeMethod:145 method exception Traceback (most recent call last): File "/tmp/ovirt-BAJG2FYLMu/pythonlib/otopi/context.py", line 132, in _executeMethod method['method']() File "/tmp/ovirt-BAJG2FYLMu/otopi-plugins/ovirt-host-deploy/kdump/packages.py", line 216, in _customization self._kexec_tools_version_supported() File "/tmp/ovirt-BAJG2FYLMu/otopi-plugins/ovirt-host-deploy/kdump/packages.py", line 143, in _kexec_tools_version_supported from rpmUtils.miscutils import compareEVR ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'rpmUtils' 2019-08-22 09:49:24,152+0200 ERROR otopi.context context._executeMethod:154 Failed to execute stage 'Environment customization': No module named 'rpmUtils'
