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.

4.5.2 Create Additional Gluster Logical Volumes fails
by simon＠justconnect.ie 20 Mar '23

20 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.

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.

Out-of-sync networks can only be detached
by Sakhi Hadebe 27 Feb '23

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

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?

{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
