Upgrade from 4.4.3 to 4.4.4 (oVirt Node) - vdsmd.service/start failed with result 'dependency'
by Marco Fais 04 Feb '21

04 Feb '21

Hi all, I have just upgraded one of my oVirt nodes from 4.4.3 to 4.4.4. After the reboot, the 4.4.4 image is correctly loaded but vdsmd is not starting due to this error: vdsmd.service: Job vdsmd.service/start failed with result 'dependency'. Looks like it has a dependency on mom-vdsm, and this as well has a dependency issue: mom-vdsm.service: Job mom-vdsm.service/start failed with result 'dependency'. After some investigation looks like mom-vdsm has a dependency on ovsdb-server, and this is the unit creating the problem: ovs-delete-transient-ports.service: Starting requested but asserts failed. Assertion failed for Open vSwitch Delete Transient Ports Failed to start Open vSwitch Database Unit. Details below: -- Unit ovsdb-server.service has begun starting up.

Gluster volume slower then raid1 zpool speed
by Harry O 28 Jan '21

28 Jan '21

Hi, Can anyone help me with the performance on my 3 node gluster on zfs (it is setup with one arbiter) The performance on the single vm I have on it (with engine) is 50% worse then a single bare metal disk, on the writes. I have enabled "Optimize for virt store" I run 1Gbps 1500MTU network, could this be the write performance killer? Is this to be expected from a 2xHDD zfs raid one on each node, with 3xNode arbiter setup? Maybe I should move to raid 5 or 6? Maybe I should add SSD cache to raid1 zfs zpools? What are your thoughts? What to do for optimize this setup? I would like to run zfs with gluster and I can deal with a little performance loss, but not that much.

New failure Gluster deploy: Set granual-entry-heal on --> Bricks down

OVN and change of mgmt network
by Gianluca Cecchi 27 Jan '21

27 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

CentOS Stream support
by Michal Skrivanek 25 Jan '21

25 Jan '21

Hi all, we would like to ask about interest in community about oVirt moving to CentOS Stream. There were some requests before but it’s hard to see how many people would really like to see that. With CentOS releases lagging behind RHEL for months it’s interesting to consider moving to CentOS Stream as it is much more up to date and allows us to fix bugs faster, with less workarounds and overhead for maintaining old code. E.g. our current integration tests do not really pass on CentOS 8.1 and we can’t really do much about that other than wait for more up to date packages. It would also bring us closer to make oVirt run smoothly on RHEL as that is also much closer to Stream than it is to outdated CentOS. So..would you like us to support CentOS Stream? We don’t really have capacity to run 3 different platforms, would you still want oVirt to support CentOS Stream if it means “less support” for regular CentOS? There are some concerns about Stream being a bit less stable, do you share those concerns? Thank you for your comments, michal

[ANN] oVirt 4.4.4 is now generally available
by Sandro Bonazzola 22 Jan '21

22 Jan '21

oVirt 4.4.4 is now generally available The oVirt project is excited to announce the general availability of oVirt 4.4.4 , as of December 21st, 2020. This release unleashes an altogether more powerful and flexible open source virtualization solution that encompasses hundreds of individual changes and a wide range of enhancements across the engine, storage, network, user interface, and analytics, as compared to oVirt 4.3. Important notes before you install / upgrade Please note that oVirt 4.4 only supports clusters and data centers with compatibility version 4.2 and above. If clusters or data centers are running with an older compatibility version, you need to upgrade them to at least 4.2 (4.3 is recommended). Please note that in RHEL 8 / CentOS 8 several devices that worked on EL7 are no longer supported. For example, the megaraid_sas driver is removed. If you use Enterprise Linux 8 hosts you can try to provide the necessary drivers for the deprecated hardware using the DUD method (See the users’ mailing list thread on this at https://lists.ovirt.org/archives/list/users@ovirt.org/thread/NDSVUZSESOXEFJ… ) Documentation - If you want to try oVirt as quickly as possible, follow the instructions on the Download <https://ovirt.org/download/> page. - For complete installation, administration, and usage instructions, see the oVirt Documentation <https://ovirt.org/documentation/>. - For upgrading from a previous version, see the oVirt Upgrade Guide <https://ovirt.org/documentation/upgrade_guide/>. - For a general overview of oVirt, see About oVirt <https://ovirt.org/community/about.html>. What’s new in oVirt 4.4.4 Release? This update is the fourth in a series of stabilization updates to the 4.4 series. This release is available now on x86_64 architecture for: - Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.3 - CentOS Linux (or similar) 8.3 - CentOS Stream (tech preview) This release supports Hypervisor Hosts on x86_64 and ppc64le architectures for: - Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.3 - CentOS Linux (or similar) 8.3 - oVirt Node (based on CentOS Linux 8.3) - CentOS Stream (tech preview) oVirt Node and Appliance have been updated, including: - oVirt 4.4.4: https://www.ovirt.org/release/4.4.4/ - Ansible 2.9.16: https://github.com/ansible/ansible/blob/stable-2.9/changelogs/CHANGELOG-v2.… - CentOS Linux 8 (2011): https://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-announce/2020-December/048207.html - Advanced Virtualization 8.3 See the release notes [1] for installation instructions and a list of new features and bugs fixed.

encrypted GENEVE traffic
by Pavel Nakonechnyi 18 Jan '21

18 Jan '21

Dear oVirt Community, From my understanding oVirt does not support Open vSwitch IPSEC tunneling for GENEVE traffic (which is described on pages http://docs.openvswitch.org/en/latest/howto/ipsec/ and http://docs.openvswitch.org/en/latest/tutorials/ipsec/) Are there plans to introduce such support? (or explicitly not to..) Is it possible to somehow manually configure such tunneling for existing virtual networks? (even in a limited way) Alternatively, is it possible to deploy oVirt on top of the tunneled (i.e. via VXLAN, IPSec) interfaces? This will allow to encrypt all management traffic. Such requirement arises when using oVirt deployment on third-party premises with untrusted network. Thank in advance for any clarifications. :) -- WBR, Pavel +32478910884
