19 Jan '24

Hello, after update centos9-stream to latest packages with ovirt 4.5.5 I lost VMs console connectivity . For html5 option I lost all ( can't connect anyway ) For virt-viewer option only partially, can view output screen, but keyboard has no input ( sometimes accept enter ) I tried to reinstall ovirt-vmconsole-host-1.0.9-3.el9.noarch and ovirt- vmconsole-1.0.9-3.el9.noarch , but with no success, the same situation with reinstall virt-viewer 11.0 locally ( ubuntu 23.04 last updates ). This stopped my VMs deploying :( . Exists any fix or workaround about this issue ?? thx. a lot regs. Pavel

Actually , the vdsmd trick is needed only to fool the engine that the host has failed (you need to disable the fencing or prevent it somehow - like changing the ipmi user's password).The engine itself uses ssh to distribute the new certificate to the host.

CAUTION: Be careful of links - This email originated from outside of Certida.Hi, Recently I found another way to renew the certificates on a one-node self-hosted environment.The trick is to stop vdsmd and wait till the engine shows the system unresponsive. Then you can trigger a certificate renewal and just power on vdsmd again.

The only tweak I would make is that there were a few more destinations at the end to copy the files into, and instead of rebooting the host we found that just restarting vdsmd and libvirtd got everything working without any existing VMs having to stop. Here's a complete update of what you have above intermingling some extra bits for anyone who has to do this in the future. If the certs on your oVirt host expire, it can be a PITA to figure out how to fix it. It's actually simple, but takes a LOT of manual work.

Running this restart was safe for us and didn't cause any running VMs to crash or reboot -- they kept going without issue.

NVIDIA vGPU driver for Ovirt 4.5.4
by michael.a.silveira3.ctr＠us.navy.mil 18 Jan '24

18 Jan '24

Hello, Does anyone know which, if any, NVIDIA GRID driver supports Ovirt 4.5.4 on Ovirt-node (kernel 4.18.0-408.el8.x86_64)? I've recently upgraded to Ovirt 4.5 and can't find a NVIDIA GRID driver that will connect to my Tesla v100 on the new kernel. nvidia-smi returns the following no matter what driver I install: NVIDIA-SMI has failed because it couldn't communicate with the NVIDIA driver. Make sure that the latest NVIDIA driver is installed and running.

Cannot restart ovirt after massive failure.
by Gilboa Davara 18 Jan '24

18 Jan '24

Hello all, During the night, one of my (smaller) setups, a single node self hosted engine (localhost NFS) crashed due to what-looks-like a massive disk failure (Software RAID6, with 10 drives + spare). After a reboot, I let the RAID resync with a fresh drive) and went on to start oVirt. However, no such luck. Two issues: 1. ovirt-ha-broker fails due to broken hosted engine state (log attached). 2. ovirt-ha-agent fails due to network test (tcp) even though both remote-host and DNS servers are active. (log attached). Two questions: 1. Can I somehow force the agent to disable the network liveliness test? 2. Can I somehow force the broker to rebuild / fix the hosted engine state? - Gilboa

VDSM Command DetachStorageDomainVDS Failed
by Matthew J Black 18 Jan '24

18 Jan '24

Hi All, So after having an oVirt cluster crash (no data loss (at this stage), thankfully) and rebuilding from scratch, I'm trying to import the old Storage Domains. I've been successful with three (automatically "detaching" from the old, now non-existent hosts) but one is giving me the following error from the hosted-engine GUI: ~~~ VDSM command DetachStorageDomainVDS failed: Cannot acquire host id: ('e311ddf1-7f2c-49ef-a618-050d9a2b947f', SanlockException(19, 'Sanlock lockspace add failure', 'No such device')) ~~~ I am going to assume ("make an ass out for you and me") that I can run the required command from the cli with a "-force" flag (I hope), so my Q is: What is the command, because I can't seem to find it in any doco (most probably because I'm old and my eyes are feeble :-) ). Any help gratefully appreciated - FTR: that particular Storage Domain have a bunch of VM Images on it which I'd rather import/recover than have to create from scratch. Cheers Dulux-Oz

Deployment Error: Host is not up - Looking For Some Advice/Pointers
by Matthew J Black 18 Jan '24

18 Jan '24

Hi All, So, on a fresh install on RL v9.3, we're getting a `Host is not up, please check logs, perhaps also on the engine machine` error. This comes up right after the 20min timeout (the 120sec * 10 one). No, the hosted-engine is not deployed (ie hosted-engine --check-deployed). Obviously I need to check the logs, but which ones in particular (the hosted-engine-setup logs, obviously, but which other ones), where are they if the hosted-engine is not running, and, in an effort to narrow down the volume of info to a more manageable level, what should I be looking for? Thanks in advance

Please, Please Help - New oVirt Install/Deployment Failing - "Host is not up..."
by Matthew J Black 18 Jan '24

18 Jan '24

Hi Everyone, Could someone please help me - I've been trying to do an install of oVirt for *weeks* (including false starts and self-inflicted wounds/errors) and it is still not working. My setup: - oVirt v4.5.3 - A brand new fresh vanilla install of RockyLinux 8.6 - all working AOK - 2*NICs in a bond (802.3ad) with a couple of sub-Interfaces/VLANs - all working AOK - All relevant IPv4 Address in DNS with Reverse Lookups - all working AOK - All relevant IPv4 Address in "/etc/hosts" file - all working AOK - IPv6 (using "method=auto" in the interface config file) enabled on the relevant sub-Interface/VLAN - I'm not using IPv6 on the network, only IPv4, but I'm trying to cover all the bases. - All relevant Ports (as per the oVirt documentation) set up on the firewall - ie firewall-cmd --add-service={{ libvirt-tls | ovirt-imageio | ovirt-vmconsole | vdsm }} - All the relevant Repositories installed (ie RockyLinux BaseOS, AppStream, & PowerTools, and the EPEL, plus the ones from the oVirt documentation) I have followed the oVirt documentation (including the special RHEL-instructions and RockyLinux-instructions) to the letter - no deviations, no special settings, exactly as they are written. All the dnf installs, etc, went off without a hitch, including the "dnf install centos-release-ovirt45", "dnf install ovirt-engine-appliance", and "dnf install ovirt-hosted-engine-setup" - no errors anywhere. Here is the results of a "dnf repolist": - appstream Rocky Linux 8 - AppStream - baseos Rocky Linux 8 - BaseOS - centos-ceph-pacific CentOS-8-stream - Ceph Pacific - centos-gluster10 CentOS-8-stream - Gluster 10 - centos-nfv-openvswitch CentOS-8 - NFV OpenvSwitch - centos-opstools CentOS-OpsTools - collectd - centos-ovirt45 CentOS Stream 8 - oVirt 4.5 - cs8-extras CentOS Stream 8 - Extras - cs8-extras-common CentOS Stream 8 - Extras common packages - epel Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux 8 - x86_64 - epel-modular Extra Packages for Enterprise Linux Modular 8 - x86_64 - ovirt-45-centos-stream-openstack-yoga CentOS Stream 8 - oVirt 4.5 - OpenStack Yoga Repository - ovirt-45-upstream oVirt upstream for CentOS Stream 8 - oVirt 4.5 - powertools Rocky Linux 8 - PowerTools So I kicked-off the oVirt deployment with: "hosted-engine --deploy --4 --ansible-extra-vars=he_offline_deployment=true". I used "--ansible-extra-vars=he_offline_deployment=true" because without that flag I was getting "DNF timout" issues (see my previous post `Local (Deployment) VM Can't Reach "centos-ceph-pacific" Repo`). I answer the defaults to all of questions the script asked, or entered the deployment-relevant answers where appropriate. In doing this I double-checked every answer before hitting <Enter>. Everything progressed smoothly until the deployment reached the "Wait for the host to be up" task... which then hung for more than 30 minutes before failing. From the ovirt-hosted-engine-setup... log file: - 2022-10-20 17:54:26,285+1100 ERROR otopi.ovirt_hosted_engine_setup.ansible_utils ansible_utils._process_output:113 fatal: [localhost]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "msg": "Host is not up, please check logs, perhaps also on the engine machine"} I checked the following log files and found all of the relevant ERROR lines, then checked several 10s of proceeding and succeeding lines trying to determine what was going wrong, but I could not determine anything. - ovirt-hosted-engine-setup... - ovirt-hosted-engine-setup-ansible-bootstrap_local_vm... - ovirt-hosted-engine-setup-ansible-final_clean... - not really relevant, I believe I can include the log files (or the relevant parts of the log files) if people want - but that are very large: several 100 kilobytes each. I also googled "oVirt Host is not up" and found several entries, but after reading them all the most relevant seems to be a thread from these mailing list: `Install of RHV 4.4 failing - "Host is not up, please check logs, perhaps also on the engine machine"` - but this seems to be talking about an upgrade and I didn't gleam anything useful from it - I could, of course, be wrong about that. So my questions are: - Where else should I be looking (ie other log files, etc, and possible where to find them)? - Does anyone have any idea why this isn't working? - Does anyone have a work-around (including a completely manual process to get things working - I don't mind working in the CLI with virsh, etc)? - What am I doing wrong? Please, I'm really stumped with this, and I really do need help. Cheers Dulux-Oz

ovirt node ng 4.5.5 fresh install fails
