Adding a Ubuntu Host's NFS share to oVirt
by David White 04 Jun '21

04 Jun '21

Hello, Is it possible to use Ubuntu to share an NFS export with oVirt?I'm trying to setup a Backup Domain for my environment. I got to the point of actually adding the new Storage Domain. When I click OK, I see the storage domain appear momentarily before disappearing, at which point I get a message about oVirt not being able to obtain a lock. It appears I'm running into the issue described in this thread: https://lists.ovirt.org/archives/list/users@ovirt.org/thread/BNVXUH5B26FBFC… ... Although the actual export is ext4, not xfs. From what I'm reading on that thread and elsewhere, it sounds like this problem is a result of SELinux not being present, is that correct? Is my only option here to install an OS that supports SELinux? Sent with ProtonMail Secure Email.

I think you can download and install the ovirt-engine-appliance rpm (the big one) from https://resources.ovirt.org/pub/ovirt-4.4/rpm/el8/x86_64/ in advance.

Can't remove snapshot
by David Johnson 04 Jun '21

04 Jun '21

Hi all, I patched one of my Windows VM's yesterday. I started by snapshotting the VM, then applied the Windows update. Now that the patch has been tested, I want to remove the snapshot. I get this message: Error while executing action: win-sql-2019: - Cannot remove Snapshot. The following attached disks are in ILLEGAL status: win-2019-tmpl_Disk1 - please remove them and try again. Does anyone have any thoughts how to recover from this? I really don't want to keep this snapshot hanging around. Thanks in advance, *David Johnson*

Cannot add new host to Ovirt
by pablo＠miami.edu 02 Jun '21

02 Jun '21

I have an Ovirt installation with a hosted engine and three hosts. Using Gluster as the storage for the VMs. Ovirt: 4.4.6.7 Hosts: CentOS Stream release 8 (updated to latest) So far so good. I am trying to add a new host to the cluster with the same OS and hardware as the others and I cannot get it to install, it gives me all kind of errors and it will not install. I reinstalled the OS and I am getting the same results. DNS is configured properly and working ok for all hosts. I can see this error in this log file ansible-runner-service.log: 2021-05-30 15:46:38,319 - runner_service.services.hosts - ERROR - SSH - NOAUTH:SSH auth error - passwordless ssh not configured for 'ovirt4' (sshd is configured exactly the same as all other hosts and I can login to this host without a password from the ovirt hosted engine) I see these errors in the log engine.log: 2021-05-30 16:22:35,166Z ERROR [org.ovirt.vdsm.jsonrpc.client.reactors.Reactor] (SSL Stomp Reactor) [] Unable to process messages PKIX path building failed: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target 2021-05-30 16:22:35,175Z ERROR [org.ovirt.engine.core.dal.dbbroker.auditloghandling.AuditLogDirector] (EE-ManagedScheduledExecutorService-engineScheduledThreadPool-Thread-32) [] EVENT_ID: VDS_BROKER_COMMAND_FAILURE(10,802), VDSM ovirt4.net.miami.edu command Get Host Capabilities failed: PKIX path building failed: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target 2021-05-30 16:22:35,175Z ERROR [org.ovirt.engine.core.vdsbroker.monitoring.HostMonitoring] (EE-ManagedScheduledExecutorService-engineScheduledThreadPool-Thread-32) [] Unable to RefreshCapabilities: VDSNetworkException: VDSGenericException: VDSNetworkException: PKIX path building failed: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target 2021-05-30 16:22:35,597Z ERROR [org.ovirt.engine.core.bll.gluster.GlusterSyncJob] (EE-ManagedScheduledExecutorService-engineScheduledThreadPool-Thread-23) [] Error while refreshing server data for cluster 'Default' from database: null I tried reinstalling, rebooting, put it in maintenance, enroll the certificate, check for Upgrades, rebooted multiple times both the hosts and the ovirt engine: nothing works.
