Restored engine backup: The provided authorization grant for the auth code has expired.
by Nicolás 05 Aug '21

05 Aug '21

Hi, I'm restoring a full ovirt engine backup, having used the --scope=all option, for oVirt 4.3. I restored the backup on a fresh CentOS7 machine. The process went well, but when trying to log into the restored authentication system I get the following message which won't allow me to log in: The provided authorization grant for the auth code has expired. What does that mean and how can it be fixed? Thanks. Nicolás

This year conference community updates
by Sandro Bonazzola 30 Jul '21

30 Jul '21

Hi, as announced we are going to have oVirt online conference coming in September. I would like to give usual community updates in and as part of that I'd like to report about oVirt downstream products (such as Red Hat Virtualization and Oracle Linux Virtualization Manager) and about companies using oVirt. I could just go googling and guessing by e-mail traffic on oVirt users list but I want to try a different approach this year. So, if you are shipping an oVirt downstream or if you're using oVirt and you'd like to get the company nominated during the community reports please let me know off-list. Also I'd like to remind that oVirt site has a section dedicated to user stories, if you want to share yours you can either push it to https://github.com/oVirt/ovirt-site or get in touch with me off-list to get help getting your story published. Thanks, -- Sandro Bonazzola MANAGER, SOFTWARE ENGINEERING, EMEA R&D RHV Red Hat EMEA <https://www.redhat.com/> sbonazzo(a)redhat.com <https://www.redhat.com/> *Red Hat respects your work life balance. Therefore there is no need to answer this email out of your office hours.*

Re: CPU Compatibility Problem after Upgrading Centos 8 Stream Host

The issue was with edk2-ovmf package update, rolling that package back and it started recognizing the CPU and host coming up... tested on one host and worked fine.

It is missing the following CPU flags: model_IvyBridge, spec_ctrl.

Requirements to put to cluster version 4.6
by Gianluca Cecchi 27 Jul '21

27 Jul '21

Hello, I updated all my 3 CentOS 4.4.5 hosts to 4.4.6. Or at least upgrading them from the GUI I see now they are on CentOS 8.4 and: [root@ov200 ~]# rpm -qa| grep 4.4.6 ovirt-release44-4.4.6.3-1.el8.noarch ovirt-host-4.4.6-1.el8.x86_64 ovirt-host-dependencies-4.4.6-1.el8.x86_64 [root@ov200 ~]# How to see from the webadmin GUI or from the Host Console that they are indeed 4.4.6? If I try to set cluster compatibility version to 4.6 I get: Error while executing action: Cannot change Cluster Compatibility Version to higher version when there are active Hosts with lower version. -Please move Host ov300, ov301, ov200 with lower version to maintenance first. I don't remember the need of giving downtime to get new cluster version... Or what are further requirements (and benefits....) to upgrade to 4.6? Thanks, Gianluca

Removing Direct Mapped LUNs
by Ryan Chewning 16 Jul '21

16 Jul '21

Hi List, We need to add and remove directly mapped LUNs to multiple VMs in our Non-Production environment. The environment is backed by an iSCSI SAN. In testing when removing a directly mapped LUN it doesn't remove the underlying multipath and devices. Several questions. 1) Is this the expected behavior? 2) Are we supposed to go to each KVM host and manually remove the underlying multipath devices? 3) Is there a technical reason that oVirt doesn't do this as part of the steps to removing the storage? This is something that was handled by the manager in the previous virtualization that we used, Oracle's Xen based Oracle VM. Thanks! Ryan

upgrading to 4.4.6 with Rocky Linux 8
by Jason Keltz 13 Jul '21

13 Jul '21

Hi.. I'm looking to migrate soon from CentOS 7.9 with oVirt 4.3.10 to Rocky Linux 8.4 with oVirt 4.4.6. I'm working on my kickstart of my standalone engine in a VM at the moment. So far, with minimal experience with Rocky Linux, after my kickstart, I was able to run "engine-setup", follow all the defaults and then access my "new" engine via web. I have to explore the actual procedure for installing on my current engine host, and restoring my data. When oVirt team releases new releases, I'm just wondering if you test going from the last previous release (4.3.10 in this case) to each latest release? I know that the documentation says we always need to make sure we update to each individaul major release, but I'm just wondering if this is something that oVirt team tests with each release? I'm very concerned for potential of failed upgrade, and the potential headaches that it could cause. I see the 4.4.6 was released in time with RHEL 8.3. I'd like to use Rocky Linux 8.4 because I believe RHEL has re-enabled mptsas (though I know still unsupported) from 8.4+ which will make things easier. Any additional suggestions or caveats of the upgrade? Thanks for any feedback, Jason.

upgrading gluster brick os from CentOS7 to 8
by Jiří Sléžka 07 Jul '21

07 Jul '21

Hello, I'm in progress of moving my oVirt HCI cluster to production. It was a bit complicated process because I had two new servers to install oVirt from scratch in the lab and three old servers with standalone kvm hypervisors in production. One of them (installed with CentOS7) was good enough to join HCI cluster. All three old kvm servers had production vms running on them. New cluster was installed with CentOS8 and oVirt4.4, I started with single node, then expanded it to two hosts with one another which acts as arbiter (just for stability in lab envirnment). After some testing and tuning I moved this two node cluster (without arbiter node) to my server housing. Then I prepared gluster brick on that one old server which I want reuse and join it to gluster storage so now it is replica 3 - two nodes are CentOS8 based and acts as oVirt hosts, one is CentOS7 and acts also as standalone kvm hypervisor. Then I migrated all vms from standalone kvm hypervisors to oVirt, then switched off two oldest hosts. Now I would like to reinstall CentOS7 node to oVirt host. My plan is to keep gluster brick fs and backup configuration and restore it after reinstall to CentOS8 as mentioned in https://mjanja.ch/2018/08/migrate-glusterfs-to-a-new-operating-system/. I want to speed up gluster healing. Does it make sense? Now the questin: Brick fs was created on CentOS7 and don't have new xfs features FINOBT,SPARSE_INODES,REFLINK. Could it be problem? Will be better to recreate fs in CentOS8 and then do full heal? I am afraid that it will take a long time and make big load to production hosts. TL;DR: Does gluster/oVirt4.4 make use of FINOBT,SPARSE_INODES,REFLINK xfs features? btw. oVirt is great product and HCI looks really functional and usable (with 10GE network and SSDsof course). Big thanks to developers and community! Cheers, Jiri

CentOS 8 to Stream conversion
by Gary Pedretty 06 Jul '21

06 Jul '21

I have moved all my hosts from CentOS 8 to Stream, but the hosted engine is still Centos 8. Is it safe to use the same conversion of the hosted-engine from 8 to Stream while in global maintenance mode? IE: dnf swap centos-{linux,stream}-repos dnf distro-sync Thanks Gary _______________________________ Gary Pedretty IT Manager Ravn Alaska Office: 907-266-8451 Mobile: 907-388-2247 Email: gary.pedretty(a)ravnalaska.com
