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 10 Apr '23

10 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.

Host Reboot Timeout of 10 Minutes
by Peter H 27 Feb '23

27 Feb '23

I'm working in a group that maintains a large oVirt setup based on 4.4.1 which works very well. We are afraid of upgrading and prefer setting up a new installation and gradually enlist the hosts one by one into the new installation. We have tried 4.4.10 and 4.5.1 - 4.5.4 based on CentOS Stream 8, Rocky 8, Alma Linux 9.1 with various problems. Worst was the problem that the rpm db ended up in a catch-22 state. Using Alma Linux 9.1 and current oVirt 4.5.4 seems promising as no rpm problems are present after installation. We have only one nuisance left which we have seen in all installation attempts we have made since 4.4.10. When rebooting a host it takes 10 minutes before it's activated again. In 4.4.1 the hosts are activated a few seconds after they have booted up. I have found the following in the engine log: 2023-01-24 23:01:57,564+01 INFO [org.ovirt.engine.core.bll.SshHostRebootCommand] (EE-ManagedThreadFactory-engine-Thread-1513) [2bb08d20] Waiting 600 seconds, for server to finish reboot process. Our ansible playbooks for deployment times out and we could increase the timeout but how come that this 10 minutes delay has been introduced? Does a config file exist where this timeout can be set to a lower value? BR Peter H.

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 23 Feb '23

23 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?

{REQUEST} oVirt (including RHHI) as HCI in the future
by 樽井周久（KTCSP） 10 Feb '23

10 Feb '23

To whom it may concern I have been using oVirt in an HCI environment for over 5 years. The reason why I chose oVirt (most attractive point of oVirt for me) was that it is easy to build an HCI environment with GUI deployment. Now, I found out that the deployment by GUI has been deprecated (from ovirt4.5) on your forum site, and that all the contents related to HCI were deleted (dropped) in your official installation guide site. https://lists.ovirt.org/archives/list/users@ovirt.org/message/CBDUBBKLTCW4M… https://www.ovirt.org/documentation/installing_ovirt_as_a_self-hosted_engin… It seems that oVirt will not be able to build HCI environment in the future. So I'm very worried about whether I can continue to use oVirt as before. I would appreciate it if you could tell me about your prospects regarding oVirt as HCI. For your reference below. On 4.5.3 oVirt host, Gluster deployment was done with GUI, but hosted-engine had to be deployed with CLI. On 4.5.4 oVirt host, Guster deployment failed with GUI, so subsequent hosted-engine deployment could not proceed. ('str object' has no attribute 'vgname') Best regards, Kanehisa Tarui Tokyo, Japan

Hi Folks, Am a complete newbie with oVirt and am researching how to install in an ESXi server, the idea is to create a VM that runs the oVirt host and hosted engine with a virtual NFS server, I found the following but am not able to get the hoste engine VM to deploy, I am not seeing anything leaping out at me from the log file and was hoping that others may have experiences they can share? https://jorgedelacruz.uk/2021/07/26/ovirt-detailed-guide-on-how-to-deploy-a… am also using https://www.ovirt.org/documentation/installing_ovirt_as_a_self-hosted_engin… TIA Mike

I need the deploy script to wait for fixing network configuration manually in oVirt 4.3.10
by lars.stolpe＠bvg.de 30 Jan '23

30 Jan '23

Hi, i'm planing to upgrade our production environment from oVirt 4.3 to 4.4. So i do need a fresh oVirt 4.3 installation to test the procedure before doing it in production. The command line deploy script can't handle network interfaces correctly. If i use either a single NIC oder a bond (active/passive) i get the error message "The selected network interface is not valid". If i predefine the management bridge to a running state, the deploy process goes on, but fails to activate the added host and removes the already running engine vm. The deploy process fails to synchronize the existing working network configuration with the engine configuration. I can already log in to the engine GUI and see, that the bridge "ovirtmgmt" needs to be assigned to the bonding IF, but i'm not fast enough to do so, because the deployment process ist already shutting down and erasing the vm. I do see the following ways to succeed: 1. make the depoyment process accept the given interfaces (maybe ignore errors) 2. make the deploy process wait for me to take necessary actions before checking the engine Do anyone know, how to achieve this? All i need is a running engine on hosted_storage... any other issues i can fix later. Another idea is to use one of the destined hosts as a bare metal engine, add hosts, backup the engine and use that backup for a hosted engine restore deploy, since the deploy script asks to wait after local vm is ready, but only if i do a recovery deploy. Any suggestions?

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!

New Ovirt installation on existing Ovirt
by yevhen.kyrylchenko＠gmail.com 25 Jan '23

25 Jan '23

Hi! I have a strange idea - I try to create a small Ovirt test lab on my existing Ovirt infrastructure. I have two real Ovirt hosts: host01 - 192.168.1.10/24, GW 192.168.1.1 host02 - 192.168.1.11/24, GW 192.168.1.1 I created VM on which I want to install new Ovirt instance: v_host01 - 192.168.1.100, checked Pass-Through Host CPU. During deployment hosted engine on v_host01 (lets say v_he - 192.168.1.110), Ovirt creates temporary bridge with random IP and hosted engine VM can comunicate through that bridge. After successful deployment this HE VM has assigned static IP 192.168.1.110. And now communication is possible only between v_host01 and v_he... I can't reach network from v_he further than v_host01 and can't reach v_he from hosts other than v_host01. Seems than bridge on v_host01, created during deployment doesn't want to forward traffik... Do you have any ideas what should I check? Regards!

Regenerate DWH ovirt_engine_history

Hello to all and happy new year. My question is "simple". I need to "reset" the ovirt_engine_history database. I tried to use: engine-setup --reconfigure-optional-components after removing: - ovirt_engine_history - set to "False" OVESETUP_DWH_CORE/enable=bool:True OVESETUP_GRAFANA_CORE/enable=bool:True in /etc/ovirt-engine-setup.conf.d/20-setup-ovirt-post.conf (obviously all in "Global Maintenance") currently I have a system where I have an initialized ovirt_engine_history but no engine is writing in it. I tried to follow (in some manner): https://www.ovirt.org/documentation/data_warehouse_guide/ In the ovirt engine's log there is no exception... so I cannot address the issue. I need help to reinitialize the db... I don't need the history.. only from now on. Thank you for your help but no one is

Disaster recovery failed with direct lun 4.4.10

23 Jan '23

Good night I am configuring the disaster recovery with the following environment Ovirt 4.4.10 Site A An external manager A hypervisor server Site B An external manager A hypervisor server *Mons are being replicated from one storage to another with the conditions mentioned in the active passive guide. In the File disaster_recovery_vars.yml **** The mapping of the virtual machines is carried out, one of these has direct luns When I execute the failover the virtual machines are not importing in the secondary site. If I comment on the mapping of the direct luns, it is possible to import the virtual machines and they remain working correctly. NOTE: The direct lun that the vm has is without format or partition, since I am in the testing phase. Can you please give me ideas of what to check.

pass-through CPU

Hi, What are the pro and cons of enabling pass-through CPU ? It is a greyed option for a VM, unless specific host(s) is/are selected. That's the thing : it's possible to select all hosts..., so, it does not make difference w/ "Start on any host" option

Hosted-Engine Down VSDM Cert Expired
by jarredm＠ecboces.org 22 Jan '23

22 Jan '23

Hey all, I'm looking to get a bit of guidance here. As the subject suggests, we have a hosted-engine ovirt cluster. I ran into an issue trying to login to the web interface. I was seeing errors about certificate expiration, although I didn't know what cert it was referring to at the time. I ssh'd to the hosted-engine and restarted it. However, once it shutdown, it was unable to start again. What I've discovered so far is that the hosted-engine is currently residing on node 33 (storage is on a gluster volume) and the vdsm certificate for that node has expired. There are three nodes in total, and two of them have expired certs. However, one of them has a valid cert still. I'm able to run vdsm-client commands on that node. Although I haven't done anything with that yet other than to verify that I'm able to do some of the Host get* commands successfully. I'm wondering if it is possible to "pull" the hosted-engine onto this host and fire it back up there. Thanks in advance for your help! I'm gathering log info etc as described and it will be available here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1cBPrN8SuIR-dgnpRKe1eKXRZZTPPshyJ?us… Version info: Installed Packages centos-release-gluster8.noarch 1.0-1.el8 @extras centos-release-storage-common.noarch 2-2.el8 @extras glusterfs.x86_64 8.6-2.el8 @centos-gluster8 ovirt-release44.noarch 4.4.8.3-1.el8 @@commandline vdsm.x86_64 4.40.80.6-1.el8 @ovirt-4.4

Our KVM is behind a firewall, do we need to allow the traffic for a specific range of IP addresses for this? Regards, Hidayat

ovirtsdk4 python - global maintenance
by yevhen.kyrylchenko＠gmail.com 20 Jan '23

Hi! I know how to set global maintenance mode using python SDK, something like vms_service.vm_service(vm.id).maintenance(maintenance_enabled=True) on HostedEngine. But now I try to find if global maintenance is enabled. And I'm going to give up - I can't find how to do it in documentation... Is there a way to get this info? Regards!

Can I disable hostname checking in remote-viewer somehow? Thanks in advance, Jiri

Updating the DNS configuration for the Hosted Engine
by nathan.english＠bt.com 20 Jan '23

20 Jan '23

Hi All, I've had a look through the documentation and not been able to find any up to date information on how to do this. We've now built a permanent DNS solution and need to update the Hosted Engine DNS server details. Luckily, I have managed to update the hosts configuration using the Data Center Settings so it's just the Hosted Engine to complete. Any advice on where should I update? I didn't want to update the if config file, as I assumed it's controlled by ansible somewhere! Kind Regards, Nathan
