ovirt-engine-4.5.1.3-1.el8.noarch Hello I have a situation where a disk is stuck in finalizing state derived by trying to backup via veeam. backup process is interrupted and I have cleared the job states with the dbutils scripts (/usr/share/ovirt-engine/setup/dbutils/task_cleaner.sh) even if the script didn't advice about any pending job... I tryied to unlock_entity of the disk but for the script there is no disk locked. In the ovirt-engine gui, the disk is "finalizing" And I'm stuck here Can someone address me somewhere?

Authentication with Active Directory
by Alireza Eskandari 02 Aug '22

02 Aug '22

Hi all, I'm trying to connect an active directory to my ovirt for authentication. But the base DN of my active directory is not the default one so I need to specify it in ovirt configuration to find users. How can I configure it? In my current configuration when I try to login, I get this message: server_error: Cannot resolve principal 'xxxx(a)yy.zz' Regards, Alireza

Make QXL the default
by Colin Coe 02 Aug '22

02 Aug '22

Hey all We've just updated to RHV4.4SP1 (aka 4.5) from v4.4 and now our ansible workflows are failing with: cannot run VM. Selected display type is not supported by the operating system The OS are RHEL6 and RHEL7 (no, I can't change this as the software stack only works with these) I couldn't find anything in the ansible ovirt collection to change from VGA to QXL. Any ideas on how I can make QXL the default instead of VGA? Maybe a DB change? Thanks

Issue with oVirt 4.5 and Data Warehouse installed on a Separate Machine
by Igor Davidoff 02 Aug '22

02 Aug '22

Hello, i have an issue with 'engine-seup' step on DWH (separate server) aufter upgrade from 4.4.10 to 4.5. It looks like the ovirt-engine-setup are looking for rpm-package 'ovirt-engine' instead of 'ovirt-engine-dwh'. the reporting error is: " --== END OF CONFIGURATION ==-- [ INFO ] Stage: Setup validation [ ERROR ] Failed to execute stage 'Setup validation': Command '/usr/bin/rpm' failed to execute [ INFO ] Stage: Clean up Log file is located at /var/log/ovirt-engine/setup/ovirt-engine-setup-20220502100751-fqwb07.log [WARNING] Remote engine was not configured to be able to access DWH, please check the logs.

Any Ideas, how to work around this. Thank you!

Obsoleting Packages in 'dnf check-update' on RHEL 8.6 hosts
by Scott Worthington 01 Aug '22

01 Aug '22

Hello, My 4.5.1.3-1.el8 oVirt homelab cluster is running on RHEL 8.6 hosts and a RHEL 8.6 stand-alone engine. During the installation, I followed the instructions for RHEL 8.6: https://ovirt.org/download/install_on_rhel.html After the installation is complete, all packages are up-to-date, and everything is running, I run a 'dnf check-upgrade' and I find there are two packages that are listed under "Obsoleting Packages": """ Last metadata expiration check: 0:43:06 ago on Mon 01 Aug 2022 08:08:50 AM EDT. Obsoleting Packages centos-stream-release.noarch 8.6-1.el8 @@System centos-stream-release.noarch 8.6-1.el8 @@System centos-stream-release.noarch 8.6-1.el8 @@System redhat-release.x86_64 8.6-0.1.el8 @rhel-8-for-x86_64-baseos-rpms """ For the hosts, it makes it appear that the hosts always have an upgrade pending in the oVirt Engine UI. "centos-strea-release.noarch" appears to contain similar files to the original RHEL 8.6 package "redhat-release-8.6.0.1.el8" except for the addition of "centos*" named files. Any thoughts on how to change this behavior so that it doesn't appear to have packages to upgrade because a 'dnf update' does nothing to these "Obsoleting Packages"? Thanks in advance.

Is there a way to place oVirt in Dark Mode? It's one of those things I really like about moVirt. :) Thanks!

Gluster volume "deleted" by accident --- Is it possible to recover?
by itforums51＠gmail.com 01 Aug '22

01 Aug '22

hi everyone, I have a 3x node ovirt 4.4.6 cluster in HC setup. Today I was intending to extend the data and vmstore volume adding another brick each; then by accident I pressed the "cleanup" button. Basically it looks that the volume were deleted. I am wondering whether there is a process of trying to recover these volumes and therefore all VMs (including the Hosted-Engine). ``` lvs LV VG Attr LSize Pool Origin Data% Meta% Move Log Cpy%Sync Convert gluster_lv_data gluster_vg_sda4 Vwi---t--- 500.00g gluster_thinpool_gluster_vg_sda4 gluster_lv_data-brick1 gluster_vg_sda4 Vwi-aot--- 500.00g gluster_thinpool_gluster_vg_sda4 0.45 gluster_lv_engine gluster_vg_sda4 -wi-a----- 100.00g gluster_lv_vmstore gluster_vg_sda4 Vwi---t--- 500.00g gluster_thinpool_gluster_vg_sda4 gluster_lv_vmstore-brick1 gluster_vg_sda4 Vwi-aot--- 500.00g gluster_thinpool_gluster_vg_sda4 0.33 gluster_thinpool_gluster_vg_sda4 gluster_vg_sda4 twi-aot--- <7.07t 11.46 0.89 ``` I would appreciate any advice. TIA
