Hi All, Any idea hot to change password of admin user on oVirt 4.5.2.5 ? Below is not working - [root@ovirt]# ovirt-aaa-jdbc-tool user password-reset admin Picked up JAVA_TOOL_OPTIONS: -Dcom.redhat.fips=false Password: Reenter password: updating user admin... user updated successfully [root@delhi-test-ovirtm-02 ~]# Above shows successful but password not changed. Thanks

4.4.9 -> 4.4.10 Cannot start or migrate any VM (hotpluggable cpus requested exceeds the maximum cpus supported by KVM)
by Jillian Morgan 11 Apr '23

11 Apr '23

After upgrading the engine from 4.4.9 to 4.4.10, and then upgrading one host, any attempt to migrate a VM to that host or start a VM on that host results in the following error: Number of hotpluggable cpus requested (16) exceeds the maximum cpus supported by KVM (8) While the version of qemu is the same across hosts, ( qemu-kvm-6.0.0-33.el8s.x86_64), I traced the difference to the upgraded kernel on the new host. I have always run elrepo's kernel-ml on these hosts to support bcache which RHEL's kernel doesn't support. The working hosts still run kernel-ml-5.15.12. The upgraded host ran kernel-ml-5.17.0. In case anyone else runs kernel-ml, have you run into this issue? Does anyone know why KVM's KVM_CAP_MAX_VCPUS value is lowered on the new kernel? Does anyone know how to query the KVM capabilities from userspace without writing a program leveraging kvm_ioctl()'s? Related to this, it seems that ovirt and/or libvirtd always runs qmu-kvm with an -smp argument of "maxcpus=16". This causes qemu's built-in check to fail on the new kernel which is supporting max_vpus of 8. Why does ovirt always request maxcpus=16? And yes, before you say it, I know you're going to say that running kernel-ml isn't supported. -- Jillian Morgan (she/her) 🏳️‍⚧️ Systems & Networking Specialist Primordial Software Group & I.T.

oVirt host deploy: disable multipath
by femi adegoke 27 Mar '23

27 Mar '23

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1472356 There are 2 drives in my install that oVirt is claiming as multipath. I have tried blacklisting at /etc/multipath/ but that hasn't worked. Any better solutions? I need these 2 drives to be non-multipathed.

4.5.2 Create Additional Gluster Logical Volumes fails
by simon＠justconnect.ie 21 Mar '23

21 Mar '23

Hi, In 4.4 adding additional gluster volumes was a simple ansible task (or via cockpit). With 4.5.2 I tried to add new volumes but the logic has changed/broken. Here's the error I am getting: TASK [gluster.infra/roles/backend_setup : Create volume groups] ******************************************************************************************************************************** failed: [bdtovirthcidmz02-strg.mydomain.com] (item={'key': 'gluster_vg_sda', 'value': [{'vgname': 'gluster_vg_sda', 'pvname': '/dev/sda'}]}) => {"ansible_loop_var": "item", "changed": true, "cmd": ["vgcreate", "--dataalignment", "2048K", "-s", "2048K", "gluster_vg_sda", "/dev/sda"], "delta": "0:00:00.010442", "end": "2022-11-10 13:11:16.717772", "item": {"key": "gluster_vg_sda", "value": [{"pvname": "/dev/sda", "vgname": "gluster_vg_sda"}]}, "msg": "non-zero return code", "rc": 3, "start": "2022-11-10 13:11:16.707330", "stderr": " Configuration setting \"filter\" invalid.

Hi, I have a 3-node oVirt cluster. I have configured 2 logical networks: ovirtmgmt and public. Public logical network is attached in only 2 nodes and failing to attach on the 3rd node with the below error Invalid operation, out-of-sync network 'public' can only be detached. Please have been stuck on this for almost the whole day now. How do I fix this error? -- Regards, Sakhi Hadebe

VDSM Host command Get Host Capabilities failed: PKIX path building failed: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target
by Vasudev.ippili＠broadcom.com 24 Feb '23

We have a situation where nodes are left in Unassigned state. SSL certificate was expired and even after cert update the nodes are not coming out of Unassigned state. Its not even going in maintenance mode as there are VMs on it (although they are not responding right now). Anyway we can remove the node from HE and add it back?

Re: Self-hosted engine 4.5.0 deployment fails

I would run the deploy again, wait until the engine is up and then from the server you are deploying the engine on # virsh list obtain the virtual machine number from the above command, in the example below we assume the number is 1 # virsh console 1 login as root wait for all packages to finish updating: tail -f /var/log/dnf.rpm.log then: # dnf downgrade postgresql-jdbc once that's done the deployment of the engine should get past the [ INFO ] TASK [ovirt.ovirt.engine_setup : Check if Engine health page is up] step.

Changing the Cluster Compatibility Version in hyperconverged environment
by lexxthefox＠gmail.com 25 Jan '23

25 Jan '23

Hi! I'm sorry if it is a noob question but it is very important for me. We are researching oVirt in our company and hope to use existing environment where there's no SAN/NAS solution. Just a bunch of servers. We were able to set up a hyperconverged installation with oVirt 4.4 a while ago and now I'm resuming research and trying to upgrade it to 4.5. I was able to upgrade HE and Hosts. What's left is to upgrade Cluster Compatibility Version from 4.5 to 4.7. I don't seem to find a way to do it as when I try to Edit cluster I get this error: "Cluster Compatibility Version". Upgrade Guide on https://www.ovirt.org/documentation/upgrade_guide/ does not have entries for hyperconverged set up. So I don't know where to look for information on this topic. Is it possible to achieve my goal at all? Can "frozen" Cluster Compatibility Version cause problems in the long run? I can rebuild the whole setup now when it is still being reviewed and planed. But if we start using it actively it won't be possible. I'm afraid that this could be a show-stopper in the long run. Thanks in advance!

oVirt + TrueNAS: Unable to create iSCSI domain - I am missing something obvious
by David Johnson 20 Jan '23

20 Jan '23

Good morning folks, and thank you in advance. I am working on migrating my oVirt backing store from NFS to iSCSI. *oVirt Environment:* oVirt Open Virtualization Manager Software Version:4.4.4.7-1.el8 *TrueNAS environment:* FreeBSD truenas.local 12.2-RELEASE-p11 75566f060d4(HEAD) TRUENAS amd64 The iSCSI share is on a TrueNAS server, exposed to user VDSM and group 36. oVirt sees the targeted share, but is unable to make use of it. The latest issue is "Error while executing action New SAN Storage Domain: Volume Group block size error, please check your Volume Group configuration, Supported block size is 512 bytes." As near as I can tell, oVirt does not support any block size other than 512 bytes, while TrueNAS's smallest OOB block size is 4k. I know that oVirt on TrueNAS is a common configuration, so I expect I am missing something really obvious here, probably a TrueNAS configuration needed to make TrueNAS work with 512 byte blocks. Any advice would be helpful. *David Johnson*

hi, i have standalone ovirt-engine 4.4.4 (centos8 stream) few hosts (mix of old centos 8.2, centos 8 stream, rocky linux) can you confirm if this upgrade path is ok? first round - update engine to 4.4.10 - update OS on engine to last centos 8 stream (can i upgrade to some point in time recommended for 4.4.10?) - update hosts to ovirt 4.4.10 - update OS on hosts to last centos 8 stream and rocky linux 8.6 special case in first round - centos 8.2 - migrate OS on hosts from centos 8.2 to rocky linux 8.6 - update hosts to ovirt 4.4.10 second round - update engine to 4.5.4 - update hosts to ovirt 4.5.4 - update OS on hosts - centos 8 stream - is ALREADY on last update from first round - update OS on hosts - rocky linux - from 8.6 to 8.7 Marek
