I suggest studying the ha-agent logs, /var/log/ovirt-hosted-engine-ha/agent.log. Much of the relevant code is in ovirt_hosted_engine_ha/agent/states.py (in the git repo, or under /usr/lib/python3.6/site-packages/ on your machine). > Also, there took a relatively long time to take over the HA VMs from the failing server. That's a separate issue, about which I personally know very little. You might want to start a separate thread about it. I do know, though, that if you keep the storage connected, the host might be able to keep updating VM leases on the storage. See e.g.: https://www.ovirt.org/develop/release-management/features/storage/vm-leases… I didn't check the admin guide, but I suppose it has some material about HA VMs. > Is there a configuration where I can reduce the SHE timeout to make this recover process faster? IIRC there is nothing user-configurable. You can see most relevant constants in ovirt_hosted_engine_ha/agent/constants.py{,.in}. Nothing stops you from changing them, but please note that this is somewhat risky, and I strongly suggest to do very careful testing with your new settings. It might make sense to try to methodically go through all the possible state changes in the above state machine. The general assumption is that network and storage, for critical setups, are redundant, and that the engine itself is not considered critical, in the sense that if it's dead, all your VMs are still alive. And also, that it's more important to not corrupt VM disk images (e.g. by starting the VM concurrently on two hosts) than to keep the VM alive. Best regards, -- Didi

all active domains with status unknown in old 4.3 cluster
by Jorick Astrego 21 Sep '22

21 Sep '22

Hi, Currently I'm debugging a client's ovirt 4.3 cluster. I was adding two new gluster domains and got a timeout "VDSM command AttachStorageDomainVDS failed: Resource timeout: ()" and "Failed to attach Storage Domain *** to Data Center **". Then I had to restart ovirt-engine and now all the domains including NFS domains have status "unknown" and I see "VDSM command GetStoragePoolInfoVDS failed: Resource timeout: ()" in the events. Anyone fixed this before or have any tips?

Snapshot task stuck at oVirt 4.4.8
by nicolas＠devels.es 21 Sep '22

21 Sep '22

Hi, We're running oVirt 4.4.8 and one of our users tried to create a snapshot on a VM. The snapshot task got stuck (not sure why) and since then a "locked" icon is being shown on the VM. We need to remove this VM, but since it has a pending task, we're unable. The ovirt-engine log shows hundreds of events like: [2022-09-20 09:23:09,286+01 INFO [org.ovirt.engine.core.bll.SerialChildCommandsExecutionCallback] (EE-ManagedScheduledExecutorService-engineScheduledThreadPool-Thread-27) [2769dad5-3ec3-4c46-90a2-924746ea8d97] Command 'CreateSnapshotForVm' (id: '4fcb6ab7-2cd7-4a0c-be97-f6979be25bb9') waiting on child command id: 'cbb7a2c0-2111-4958-a55d-d48bf2d8591b' type:'CreateLiveSnapshotForVm' to complete An ovirt-engine restart didn't make any difference. Is there a way to remove this task manually, even changing something in the DB? Thanks.

oVirt Engine VM On Rocky Linux
by Matthew J Black 21 Sep '22

Hi Everybody (Hi Dr. Nick), Has anyone attempted to migrate the oVirt Engine VM over to Rocky Linux (v8.6), and if so, any "gotchas" we need to know about? Cheers Dulux-Oz

oVirt & (Ceph) iSCSI
by Matthew J Black 21 Sep '22

21 Sep '22

Hi Everybody (Hi Dr. Nick), So, next question in my on-going saga: *somewhere* in the documentation I read that when using oVirt with multiple iSCSI paths (in my case, multiple Ceph iSCSI Gateways) we need to set up DM Multipath. My question is: Is this still relevant information when using oVirt v4.5.2? Relevant link referred to by the oVirt Documentation: - https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_enterprise_linux/7/ht… Cheers Dulux-Oz

Self-hosted-engine timeout and recovering time
by Marcos Sungaila 20 Sep '22

20 Sep '22

Hi all, I have a cluster running the 4.4.10 release with 6 KVM hosts and Self-Hosted-Engine. I'm testing some network outage scenarios, and I faced strange behavior. After disconnecting the KVM hosts hosting the SHE, there was a long timeout until switching the Self-Hosted-Engine to another host as expected. Also, there took a relatively long time to take over the HA VMs from the failing server. Is there a configuration where I can reduce the SHE timeout to make this recover process faster? Regards, Marcos Sungaila

How do I migrate a running VM off unassigned host?
by David White 20 Sep '22

20 Sep '22

Ok, now that I'm able to (re)deploy ovirt to new hosts, I now need to migrate VMs that are running on hosts that are currently in an "unassigned" state in the cluser. This is the result of having moved the oVirt engine OUT of a hyperconverged environment onto its own stand-alone system, while simultaneously upgrading oVirt from v4.4 to the latest v4.5. See the following email threads: - https://lists.ovirt.org/archives/list/users@ovirt.org/thread/TZAUCM3GB5ERST… - https://lists.ovirt.org/archives/list/users@ovirt.org/thread/3IWXZ7VXM6CYYS… The oVirt engine knows about the VMs, and oVirt knows about the storage that those VMs are on. But the engine sees 2 of my hosts as "unassigned", and I've been unable to migrate the disks to new storage, nor live migrate a VM from an unassigned host, nor make a clone of an existing VM. Is there a way to recover from this scenario? I was thinking something along the lines of manually shutting down the VM on the unassigned host, and then somehow force the engine to bring the VM online again from a healthy host?

Unable to deploy to new host
by David White 19 Sep '22

19 Sep '22

I currently have a self-hosted engine that was restored from a backup of an engine that was originally in a hyperconverged state. (See https://lists.ovirt.org/archives/list/users@ovirt.org/message/APQ3XBUM34TG7…) This was also an upgrade from ovirt 4.4 to ovirt 4.5. There were 4 hosts in this cluster. Unfortunately, 2 of them are completely in an "Unassigned" state right now, and I don't know why. The VMs on those hosts are working fine, but I have no way to move the VMs or manage them. More to the point of this email: I'm trying to re-deploy onto a 3rd host. I did a fresh install of Rocky Linux 8, and followed the instructions at https://ovirt.org/download/ and at https://ovirt.org/download/install_on_rhel.html, including the part there that is specific to Rocky. After installing the centos-release-ovirt45 package, I then logged into the oVirt engine web UI, and went to Compute -> Hosts -> New, and have tried (and failed) many times to install / deploy to this new host. The last error in the host deploy log is the following: 2022-09-18 21:29:39 EDT - { "uuid" : "94b93e6a-5410-4d26-b058-d7d1db0a151e", "counter" : 404, "stdout" : "fatal: [cha2-storage.mgt.example.com] FAILED! => {\"msg\": \"The conditional check 'cluster_switch == \\\"ovs\\\" or (ovn_central is defined and ovn_central | ipaddr)' failed.
