Engine deployment fails with engine booting to grub rescue
by Andy 17 Jul '20

17 Jul '20

After working through some DNS problems I was able to install oVirt 4.4.1.1 and progress the engine deployment stops within the ansible scripts. The system deploys the gluster domain, creates the engine, starts the engine, however it will never fully boot and complete the deployment. Bringing up the console of the engine sets it into rescue mode. I have attempted to set the appropriate variables in grub rescue set root=(hd0,msdos1) set prefix=(hd0,msdos1)/boot/grub insmod normal And this will not boot the engine. Is there a procedure to mount a CENTOS 8 rescue CD/ISO to troubleshoot this or is there a specific fix published for this problem? The specific error I am seeing in the Engine Console is "attempt to read outside of HD0. I upgraded the ovirt engine appliance package to ovirt-engine-appliance-4.4-20200716090128.1.el8.x86_64 which produces the same result. I have gotten this error deploying on both my Intel and AMD based servers. any help is appreciated. thanks Andy

Hi Folks, I'm rather new to oVirt and loving it. running 4.4.1. I would like to be able to run the VM Portal on a stand-alone server for security concerns. Can anyone point in the right direction for achieving this? Thanks, Gal Villaret

ovirt-node-ng-image-update 4.4.1 to 4.4.1.1
by David M. Hornsby 16 Jul '20

16 Jul '20

All, I applied the recent update 4.4.1 -> 4.4.1.1 to a host in a cluster and it failed. After reboot it was hund at the emergency console. I reinstalled 4.4.1 fresh on the host. Prior to adding it back to the cluster I applied the same update with the same result. Is this just a bad update or is the post install script bad. Thanks, David.

mixed hyperconverged?
by Philip Brown 16 Jul '20

16 Jul '20

I'm thinking of doing an SSD based hyperconverged setup (for 4.3), but am wondering about certain design issues. seems like the optimal number is 3 nodes for the glusterfs. but.. I want 5 host nodes, not 3 and I want the main storage for VMs to be separate iSCSI NAS boxes. Is it possible to have 3 nodes be the hyperconverged stuff.. but then add in 2 "regular" nodes, that dont store anything and arent part of the cluster? is it required to be part of the gluster cluster, to also be part of the ovirt cluster, if thats where the hosted-engine lives? or can I just have the hosted engine be switchable between the 3 nodes, and the other 2 be VM-only hosts? Any recommendations here? I dont what 5 way replication going on. Nor do I want to have to pay for large SSDs on all my host nodes. (Im planning to run them with the ovirt 3.4 node image) -- Philip Brown| Sr. Linux System Administrator | Medata, Inc. 5 Peters Canyon Rd Suite 250 Irvine CA 92606 Office 714.918.1310| Fax 714.918.1325 pbrown(a)medata.com| www.medata.com

Ovirt 4.4.1 Install failure at OVF_Store check
by farkey_2000＠yahoo.com 16 Jul '20

16 Jul '20

I am trying to freshly install oVirt 4.4.1 with HCI on CentOS 8.2. I am using the "hosted-engine --deploy" script and the installation fails at "Check the OVF Store" consistently. I did try to apply the fix loaded on Jenkins (https://jenkins.ovirt.org/job/ovirt-hosted-engine-setup_standard-check-patc…) which produced the same result. Any help is appreciated and I ma working to attached the install log. Thanks Andy

This vanishes completey with virtio-vga. using which client? remote-viewer? on which platform? qxl needs drivers, not sure if Arch has that…it should have, but for Windows you definitely need to install them.

What permission do I need to get API access
by miguel.garcia＠toshibagcs.com 15 Jul '20

15 Jul '20

We use LDAP authentication to login to ovirt cluster, actually, admin and another user account have to access API with no problem. My account does cannot access to API despite that had SuperUser privileges than those accounts that already access API. Every time I tried to access API I get next message: Error during SSO authentication access_denied: Cannot authenticate user 'diagsbuilder(a)ralntdom.rtptgcs.com': No valid profile found in credentials.. The account does exist and permissions to enter to portal vms What do need to do to grant access to API?
