Cannot successfully import Windows vm to new ovirt deployment
by netracerx＠mac.com 29 Nov '23

29 Nov '23

I am running into an issue that, from what little Google-fu I've been able to use, should be solved in oVirt 4.5. I'm trying to import WS2019 VMs from ESXi 7 as OVFs or even OVAs. But when I do the import and set the OS to Windows Server 2019 x64 in the admin portal, I get the error "Invalid time zone for the given OS type ". If I leave it at Other OS, the import fails with event ID 1153. I've been banging my head against this for over a week (previously couldn't get the management VM to complete setup), so any guidance is appreciated. Let me know what to pull to help me pin this down? BTW, yes this is a self hosted install as a nested VM on ESXi. Kinda have to right now to test everything (easiest for me over doing a bare metal on my old PowerEdge 2900 at the moment). Running CentOS 9 Stream.

I added a new host not show interface network
by stevenmendoza2103＠gmail.com 27 Nov '23

27 Nov '23

When I add a new host and I want to assign a logical network to the host interface, the host interface does not appear and I cannot assign the logical network. And it gives me an alert that the installation failed and has an item that says Host has not default route.

As basic as can be install/deploy. Used ovirt-node-ng-installer-latest-el8.iso. Followed steps exactly. Took all defaults possible.

Weirdness with attempting NFS mount
by Michaal R 17 Nov '23

17 Nov '23

I'm attempting to mount a share from a TrueNAS server in oVirt through the Storage > Storage Domains UI as a New Domain. Whenever I try to add the domain (as server:share), it kicks back a Permission Denied error.

oVirt host locked in installing status
by Michele la Torre 16 Nov '23

16 Nov '23

Hi all, I have an oVirt installation (version 4.5.4-1.el8) with the engine installed in standalone mode. One of the hosts, after encountering some issues with the certificate renewal (which have now been resolved, and there are no current errors related to this), is stuck in the "Installing" state. I've checked the logs, but there are no errors reported. Do you have any ideas on what I can try to resolve this? Best regards, Michele

Hi all I am working with Oracle Linux Virtualization Manager 4 (OLVM) which is based on ovirt. When I worked with OLVM 3 and when assigning direct lun to the guests in the guest I could obtain LUN's wwid with this command /usr/lib/udev/scsi_id -g -u -d /dev/sdc1 36000c29f1382ae964d67392dfdfaaf0f similar to VMWare's disk.EnableUUID But now in OLVM 4 I am getting this in the guest which is not LUN's wwid /usr/lib/udev/scsi_id -g -u -d /dev/sdc 0QEMU_QEMU_HARDDISK_671b475e-98ab-4f3b-a23d-2f8eed964e92 I wonder if is it possible to get LUN's wwid in the guest in OLVM 4?

Hi I'm trying to replace the old certificate of the engine, so tha I can again access the management console. I've been reading thorugh a lot of articels and threads and the easiest solution, should be by running the engine-setup. I always get the following error: [ INFO ] Creating CA: /etc/pki/ovirt-engine/ca.pem [ ERROR ] Failed to execute stage 'Misc configuration': Command '/usr/share/ovirt-engine/bin/pki-enroll-pkcs12.sh' failed to execute How can I fix this?

Gluster: Ideas for migration
by jonas＠rabe.ch 10 Nov '23

10 Nov '23

Hello I have to migrate the Gluster volumes from an old oVirt cluster to a newly built one. I looked into migration strategies, but everything that Red Hat recommends is related to replacing old bricks. In a testing environment I created two clusters and wanted to migrate one volume after the other. Unfortunately that fails because a node cannot be part of two clusters at the same time. The next thing I see, is to recreate the volumes on the new cluster, then constantly rsync the files from the old cluster to the new one and at a specified point in time make the cut over where I stop the applicaiton, do a final rsync and remount the new volume under the old path. Is there any other, nicer way I could accomplish migrating a volume from one Gluster cluster to another?

Engine on EL 9
by David Carvalho 09 Nov '23

09 Nov '23

Hello, good morning. I’m using Oracle Linux and I intended to install a virtualization platffom with KVM and oracle VM. The Oracle documention only mentions Oracle Linux 8 and there are no oVirt repositories available for OL 9. I visited ovirt.org site and at the download page it only mentions: Engine: * Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.7 (or similar) * CentOS Stream 8 I still had no reply at Oracle foruns. Will there be a possibility to use this with Oracle Linux 9 soon? I have 3 servers to install and I also intend to use Gluster FS. Thanks and regards.

VMs randomly pause due to unknown storage error, unable to resume
by Jon Sattelberger 09 Nov '23

09 Nov '23

Hi, > VM xxx has been paused due to unknown storage error. > Migration failed due to a failed validation: [Migrating a VM in paused status due to I/O error is not supported.] (VM: xxx, Source: yyy). Up until recently oVirt 4.5.4 has been running fine on our RHEL 8 hypervisors with primarily (and a few appliances) Linux guests. We started to add Windows 2019 VMs to the cluster with the guest agent installed. They seem to run fine at first, but some of the Windows VMs may randomly pause due to an unknown storage error. The VM cannot be resumed through the UI or virsh. The paused VM cannot be migrated to another Hypervisor. The GlusterFS storage volumes seem fine. Resetting the VM seems to work, but eventually it'll become paused again. The only thing that came to my mind is the virtual hard disks are thin provisioned. Is a preallocated disk necessary for Windows VMs? Any helpful hints on where to look next is greatly appreciated. Thank you, Jon

oVirt support for NVMe-oF devices as storage domain.
by lxtakc＠gmail.com 09 Nov '23

09 Nov '23

Hello, We are interested in using oVirt with NVMe-oF devices. Is there an option to connect them as Storage Domain? What should be done to achieve it? Managed Block Storage (cinderlib) is not an option for us, because it doesn't support backups (incremental backups with e.g. Veeam or others). What should be done on oVirt side to support NVMe-oF as Storage Domain (like iSCSI, FCP, NFS)? Thanks.

What is the impact of doubling default NumOfPciExpressPorts value?
by ivan.lezhnjov.iv＠gmail.com 09 Nov '23

09 Nov '23

Hi! We've been trying to understand what the effect of increasing NumOfPciExpressPorts might be in terms of system resources consumption and overall system performance of the oVirt Hosts. In this specific scenario, we're running an oVirt deployment with about 100 hosts and thousands of VMs. oVirt allocates 16 PCIe ports by default (or is it QEMU defaults?) and we would like to increase that number to about 30. However, only very few VMs are actually gonna use those extra PCIe ports in terms of having additional devices (like NICs). So, basically, there will be a lot of VMs that have about twice as many PCIe ports available to them than now but not really using them (as in having actual additional devices created and associated with the VMs). How is that going to impact physical servers that are running the VMs? Any potential problems for the VMs themselves? Ivan

After a failed attempt at migrating our HostedEngine to a new iSCSI storage domain, we're unable to restart the original HostedEngine. Please see below for some details, and let me know what more information I can provide. "Lnxvirt07" was the Host used to attempt the migration. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hosted-engine restore failing when migrating to new storage domain
by Devin A. Bougie 08 Nov '23

08 Nov '23

Hello, We have a functioning oVirt 4.5.4 cluster running on fully-updated EL9.2 hosts. We are trying to migrate the self-hosted engine to a new iSCSI storage domain using the existing hosts, following the documented procedure: - set the cluster into global maintenance mode - backup the engine using "engine-backup --scope=all --mode=backup --file=backup.bck --log=backuplog.log" - shutdown the engine - restore the engine using "hosted-engine --deploy --4 --restore-from-file=backup.bck" This almost works, but fails with the attached log file. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated, including alternate procedures for migrating a self-hosted engine from one domain to another. Many thanks, Devin

Call for participation: Virtualization and Cloud infrastructure Room at FOSDEM 2024
by Piotr Kliczewski 08 Nov '23

08 Nov '23

We are excited to announce that the call for proposals is now open for the Virtualization and Cloud infrastructure devroom at the upcoming FOSDEM 2024, to be hosted on February 3rd 2024. This devroom is a collaborative effort, and is organized by dedicated folks from projects such as OpenStack, Xen Project, KubeVirt, QEMU, KVM, and Foreman. We would like to invite all those who are involved in these fields to submit your proposals by December 8th, 2023. About the Devroom The Virtualization & IaaS devroom will feature session topics such as open source hypervisors or virtual machine managers such as Xen Project, KVM, bhyve and VirtualBox as well as Infrastructure-as-a-Service projects such as KubeVirt, Apache CloudStack, OpenStack, QEMU and OpenNebula. This devroom will host presentations that focus on topics of shared interest, such as KVM; libvirt; shared storage; virtualized networking; cloud security; clustering and high availability; interfacing with multiple hypervisors; hyperconverged deployments; and scaling across hundreds or thousands of servers. Presentations in this devroom will be aimed at developers working on these platforms who are looking to collaborate and improve shared infrastructure or solve common problems. We seek topics that encourage dialog between projects and continued work post-FOSDEM. Important Dates Submission deadline: 8th December 2023 Acceptance notifications: 10th December 2023 Final schedule announcement: 15th December 2023 Devroom: 3rd February 2024 Submit Your Proposal All submissions must be made via the Pretalx event planning site[1]. It is a new submission system so you will need to create an account. If you submitted proposals for FOSDEM in previous years, you won’t be able to use your existing account. During submission please make sure to select Virtualization and Cloud infrastructure from the Track list. Please fill out all the required fields, and provide a meaningful abstract and description of your proposed session. Submission Guidelines We expect more proposals than we can possibly accept, so it is vitally important that you submit your proposal on or before the deadline. Late submissions are unlikely to be considered. All presentation slots are 30 minutes, with 20 minutes planned for presentations, and 10 minutes for Q&A. All presentations will be recorded and made available under Creative Commons licenses. In the Submission notes field, please indicate that you agree that your presentation will be licensed under the CC-By-SA-4.0 or CC-By-4.0 license and that you agree to have your presentation recorded. For example: "If my presentation is accepted for FOSDEM, I hereby agree to license all recordings, slides, and other associated materials under the Creative Commons Attribution Share-Alike 4.0 International License. Sincerely, <NAME>." In the Submission notes field, please also confirm that if your talk is accepted, you will be able to attend FOSDEM and deliver your presentation. We will not consider proposals from prospective speakers who are unsure whether they will be able to secure funds for travel and lodging to attend FOSDEM. (Sadly, we are not able to offer travel funding for prospective speakers.) Code of Conduct Following the release of the updated code of conduct for FOSDEM, we'd like to remind all speakers and attendees that all of the presentations and discussions in our devroom are held under the guidelines set in the CoC and we expect attendees, speakers, and volunteers to follow the CoC at all times. If you submit a proposal and it is accepted, you will be required to confirm that you accept the FOSDEM CoC. If you have any questions about the CoC or wish to have one of the devroom organizers review your presentation slides or any other content for CoC compliance, please email us and we will do our best to assist you. Questions? If you have any questions about this devroom, please send your questions to our devroom mailing list. You can also subscribe to the list to receive updates about important dates, session announcements, and to connect with other attendees. See you all at FOSDEM!

Moving hosted-engine to a new cluster
by Ling Ho 08 Nov '23

08 Nov '23

Hello, I set up some new hypervisors recently, created a new cluster using the newer CPU, and migrated all my VMs by changing the cluster and restarting them. Now I have the hosted engine left running in my old cluster. I could not find any recent documentation or discussion on the net. What's the proper way to migrate the hosted engine? I am on oVirt 4.5.4. Thanks, ... ling
