Hello, i want to run an 2-node oVirt cluster, where both nodes are connected to an FC Storage. What is the best practice to connect LUNs to it, so that you can switch VMs between both nodes? Thanks

host upgrade problems galore
by Diggy Mc 15 Sep '21

15 Sep '21

Brief background: Simple environment -- self-hosted engine and two oVirt Node hosts all running 4.4.4. Couple NFS-based data storage domains and a few VLAN-based networks. Upgrading the Hosted Engine from 4.4.4 to 4.4.8 appears to have completed successfully and without incident. I followed the published instructions. :) Problems upgrading the oVirt Node hosts !!! Initialized cluster upgrade. It got as far as rebooting the first host. ERRORS. Said "vdsmd... BAD" Found journal log entry suggesting I run a vdsm config command. Did that and rebooted. VDSM error went away and all looked good. Unfortunately VMs started on that host now were clearly unstable. Ugh! Unusable host. Removed that host from the cluster. Reinstalled from scratch using the 4.4.8 ISO. All went well. Added it to the cluster and deployed the HE to it. No Errors. Unfortunately, it is now stuck in a NonOperational state and I cannot determine why. Please help.

Dear oVirt, We are currently running oVirt 4.3 and upgrade/migration to 4.4 won’t be possible for few more months. I am looking into guidelines, how to, for setting up Grafana using DataWarehouse as data source. Did anyone already did this, and would be willing to share the steps?

HE and Node upgrade procedures
by Diggy Mc 14 Sep '21

14 Sep '21

Where can I find the documentation on the procedure to upgrade the Hosted Engine as well as the oVirt Nodes? Specifically, both the HE and Nodes are currently at 4.4.4 and I would like to upgrade to 4.4.8.3. Also, if I remember correctly, 4.4.4 was the last version to use CentOS Linux 8 and later versions switched to CentOS Stream 8. Will the upgrade procedure automatically switch over to Stream? Is there anything I need to be aware of or concerned with regarding the switch to Stream? Your help and guidance is much appreciated.

virtio-win driver licensing
by simon＠justconnect.ie 14 Sep '21

Hi, Can someone clarify the licensing around virtio-win drivers on oVirt 4.4.8 as the following seems to imply a RedHat paid subscrition is required when installing "virtio-win-guest-tools.exe" "2. Program License Grant. Red Hat grants User a non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the Program during the term of and on systems with fully-paid applicable Red Hat subscription(s) provided User may not: (a) modify, copy, or create any derivative works of the Program; (b) decompile, disassemble or reverse engineer the Program (except to the extent permitted by applicable law); (c) redistribute, encumber, sell, rent, lease, sublicense, or otherwise transfer rights to the Program (except to the extent permitted herein); or (d) remove or alter any trademark, logo, copyright or other proprietary notices, legends, symbols or labels in the Program. Upon expiration of the term set forth above, User will promptly remove, delete or destroy all copies of the Program in its possession." Kind Regards Simon...

Thank you for restreaming the oVirt Conf to China!
by Janos Bonic 14 Sep '21

14 Sep '21

Hey folks, I'm hoping whoever mentioned in the chat that they are rebroadcasting the conference to China is in this mailing list. I owe you a huge thank you! I tried to figure out how to stream to China, but I failed. If you are interested in helping us set up a direct stream or publish to a platform accessible in China next year, please contact me privately so we can coordinate. Janos

about the cloud-init options on the vm portal
by Tommy Sway 13 Sep '21

13 Sep '21

It seems that the options for cloud-init in the VM portal interface are only host name and SSH key, other options that can be seen in the administrator interface are not visible. Is there a solution to this problem? Thanks!
