USB3 redirection
by Rik Theys 19 Apr '22

19 Apr '22

Hi, I'm trying to assign a USB3 controller to a CentOS 7.4 VM in oVirt 4.1 with USB redirection enabled. I've created the following file in /etc/ovirt-engine/osinfo.conf.d: 01-usb.properties with content os.other.devices.usb.controller.value = nec-xhci and have restarted ovirt-engine. If I disable USB-support in the web interface for the VM, the xhci controller is added to the VM (I can see it in the qemu-kvm commandline), but usb redirection is not available. If I enable USB-support in the UI, no xhci controller is added (only 4 uhci controllers). Is there a way to make the controllers for usb redirection xhci controllers?

OVN routing and firewalling in oVirt
by Gianluca Cecchi 19 Apr '22

19 Apr '22

Hello, how do we manage routing between different OVN networks in oVirt? And between OVN networks and physical ones? Based on architecture read here: http://openvswitch.org/support/dist-docs/ovn-architecture.7.html I see terms for logical routers and gateway routers respectively but how to apply to oVirt configuration? Do I have to choose between setting up a specialized VM or a physical one: is it applicable/advisable to put on oVirt host itself the gateway functionality? Is there any security policy (like security groups in Openstack) to implement? Thanks, Gianluca

Install hosted-engine - Task Get local VM IP failed
by florentl 10 Mar '22

10 Mar '22

Hi all, I try to install hosted-engine on node : ovirt-node-ng-4.2.3-0.20180518. Every times I get stuck on : [ ERROR ] fatal: [localhost]: FAILED! => {"attempts": 50, "changed": true, "cmd": "virsh -r net-dhcp-leases default | grep -i 00:16:3e:6c:5a:91 | awk '{ print $5 }' | cut -f1 -d'/'", "delta": "0:00:00.108872", "end": "2018-06-01 11:17:34.421769", "rc": 0, "start": "2018-06-01 11:17:34.312897", "stderr": "", "stderr_lines": [], "stdout": "", "stdout_lines": []} I tried with static IP Address and with DHCP but both failed. To be more specific, I installed three nodes, deployed glusterfs with the wizard. I'm in a nested virtualization environment for this lab (Vmware Esxi Hypervisor). My node IP is : 192.168.176.40 / and I want the hosted-engine vm has 192.168.176.43. Thanks, Florent

Host needs to be reinstalled after configuring power management
by Andrew DeMaria 02 Feb '22

02 Feb '22

Hi, I am running ovirt 4.3 and have found the following action item immediately after configuring power management for a host: Host needs to be reinstalled as important configuration changes were applied on it. The thing is - I've just freshly installed this host and it seems strange that I need to reinstall it. Is there a better way to install a host and configure power management without having to reinstall it after? Thanks, Andrew

OVN and change of mgmt network
by Gianluca Cecchi 26 Jan '21

26 Jan '21

Hello, I previously had OVN running on engine (as OVN provider with northd and northbound and southbound DBs) and hosts (with OVN controller). After changing mgmt ip of hosts (engine has retained instead the same ip), I executed again on them the command: vdsm-tool ovn-config <ip_of_engine> <nel_local_ip_of_host> Now I think I have to clean up some things, eg: 1) On engine where I get these lines below systemctl status ovn-northd.service -l . . . Sep 29 14:41:42 ovmgr1 ovsdb-server[940]: ovs|00005|reconnect|ERR|tcp: 10.4.167.40:37272: no response to inactivity probe after 5 seconds, disconnecting Oct 03 11:52:00 ovmgr1 ovsdb-server[940]: ovs|00006|reconnect|ERR|tcp: 10.4.167.41:52078: no response to inactivity probe after 5 seconds, disconnecting The two IPs are the old ones of two hosts It seems that a restart of the services has fixed... Can anyone confirm if I have to do anything else? 2) On hosts (there are 3 hosts with OVN on ip 10.4.192.32/33/34) where I currently have this output [root@ov301 ~]# ovs-vsctl show 3a38c5bb-0abf-493d-a2e6-345af8aedfe3 Bridge br-int fail_mode: secure Port "ovn-1dce5b-0" Interface "ovn-1dce5b-0" type: geneve options: {csum="true", key=flow, remote_ip="10.4.192.32"} Port "ovn-ddecf0-0" Interface "ovn-ddecf0-0" type: geneve options: {csum="true", key=flow, remote_ip="10.4.192.33"} Port "ovn-fd413b-0" Interface "ovn-fd413b-0" type: geneve options: {csum="true", key=flow, remote_ip="10.4.168.74"} Port br-int Interface br-int type: internal ovs_version: "2.7.2" [root@ov301 ~]# The IPs of kind 10.4.192.x are ok. But there is a left-over of an old host I initially used for tests, corresponding to 10.4.168.74, that now doesn't exist anymore How can I clean records for 1) and 2)? Thanks, Gianluca

"gluster-ansible-roles is not installed on Host" error on Cockpit
by Hesham Ahmed 26 Nov '20

26 Nov '20

On a new 4.3.1 oVirt Node installation, when trying to deploy HCI (also when trying adding a new gluster volume to existing clusters) using Cockpit, an error is displayed "gluster-ansible-roles is not installed on Host. To continue deployment, please install gluster-ansible-roles on Host and try again". There is no package named gluster-ansible-roles in the repositories: [root@localhost ~]# yum install gluster-ansible-roles Loaded plugins: enabled_repos_upload, fastestmirror, imgbased-persist, package_upload, product-id, search-disabled-repos, subscription-manager, vdsmupgrade This system is not registered with an entitlement server. You can use subscription-manager to register. Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile * ovirt-4.3-epel: mirror.horizon.vn No package gluster-ansible-roles available. Error: Nothing to do Uploading Enabled Repositories Report Cannot upload enabled repos report, is this client registered? This is due to check introduced here: https://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/c/98023/1/dashboard/src/helpers/AnsibleUtil.js Changing the line from: [ "rpm", "-qa", "gluster-ansible-roles" ], { "superuser":"require" } to [ "rpm", "-qa", "gluster-ansible" ], { "superuser":"require" } resolves the issue. The above code snippet is installed at /usr/share/cockpit/ovirt-dashboard/app.js on oVirt node and can be patched by running "sed -i 's/gluster-ansible-roles/gluster-ansible/g' /usr/share/cockpit/ovirt-dashboard/app.js && systemctl restart cockpit"
