what happens at vdsm host certificate expiration
by Vinz Vinz 20 Dec '22

20 Dec '22

Hi Team, we are using a custom certificate on the engine apache GUI /etc/pki/ovirt-engine/certs/apache.cer (following https://myhomelab.gr/linux/2020/01/20/replacing_ovirt_ssl.html) and it works fine. The certificate is valid for a very long period. It seems the vdsm certificate (/etc/pki/vdsm/certs/vdsmcert.pem), on hosts side, has been renewed automatically at that time, but for only one year. Now we wonder, what will happen when the vdsm certificate will expire? hosts will stop to be in the cluster? if yes what should we do to avoid that? is there a possibility to also apply our custom cert as vdsm cert? This is for ovirt 4.4 running on rhel8 thx a lot in advance

Hosted-engine update error
by Jason Beard 20 Dec '22

20 Dec '22

Greetings! I was updating from ovirt 4.5.3 to ovirt 4.5.4 and my hosted engine has some package errors but the update seems to complete. The errors still exist with dnf. I feel like this is something that needs to be resolved but not sure. When I query the rpmdb I do see ovirt-*-4.5.4.x packages are installed. When I ran the engine-setup it completed with no errors. Errors: # dnf update Last metadata expiration check: 4:11:16 ago on Tue 20 Dec 2022 04:59:46 AM CST.

OVF_Store In Every Storage Doamin - Can We Remove?
by Matthew J Black 20 Dec '22

20 Dec '22

Hi All, The Subject pretty much sums up the question I want to ask: There are two OVF_Store Disks created in all eight Storage Domains we have, making 16 total. This is cluttering up several of our views in the oVirt Admin Webpages. Is there anything stopping us from deleting some/all of these? Cheers Dulux-Oz

Error try setting up oVirt 4.5 with AD using ovirt-engine-extension-aaa-ldap-setup
by kalilac＠gmail.com 19 Dec '22

19 Dec '22

Hello all. I just did a fresh install of oVirt 4.5 running on top of CentOS 9 Stream. Everything was fine but when I try to setting up to use our AD, using the ovirt-engine-extension-aaa-ldap-setup command, always return me this error: [WARNING] Cannot resolve Global Catalog SRV record for XXXX.XXX.XX. Please check you have entered correct Active Directory forest name and check that forest is resolvable by your system DNS servers [ ERROR ] Failed to execute stage 'Environment customization': Active Directory forest is not resolvable, please make sure you've entered correct forest name. If for some reason you can't use forest and you need some special configuration instead, please refer to examples directory provided by ovirt-engine-extension-aaa-ldap package. What is strange is that if we try to resolve our AD name responds fine. oVirt version: 4.5.4-1.e|9 CentOS version: Stream 9 Ovirt-engine-extension-aaa-ldap-setup: 1.4.6-1.el9 Anyone passed for this? Best regards

Thin provisioning max size

Hi, This weekend we've got an issue with a disk that did not get extend anymore because of the following reason: > 2022-12-17 12:12:27,852+0100 INFO (libvirt/events) [virt.vm] (vmId='a2926e08-d19b-4e3a-98fa-cc1ee241a037') abnormal vm stop device ua-6ccc3ee1-02e5-4fad-b1b7-9f2d6c187416 error enospc (vm:5185) > 2022-12-17 12:12:27,852+0100 INFO (libvirt/events) [virt.vm] (vmId='a2926e08-d19b-4e3a-98fa-cc1ee241a037') CPU stopped: onIOError (vm:6066) > 2022-12-17 12:12:27,852+0100 INFO (libvirt/events) [virt.vm] (vmId='a2926e08-d19b-4e3a-98fa-cc1ee241a037') drive 'sda' needs extension (storage:963) > 2022-12-17 12:12:27,854+0100 INFO (libvirt/events) [virt.vm] (vmId='a2926e08-d19b-4e3a-98fa-cc1ee241a037') CPU stopped: onSuspend (vm:6066) > 2022-12-17 12:12:27,931+0100 INFO (periodic/3) [virt.vm] (vmId='a2926e08-d19b-4e3a-98fa-cc1ee241a037') Drive sda extended to maximum size, disabling monitoring (thinp:357) Now I looked into the VDSM code, and noticed that some years ago there was a commit https://github.com/oVirt/vdsm/commit/93e955af9e4989711403e81835bb469b2e9cf6… Where the estimate of 1.1x the disk size was used as max size. But is this 1.1x still valid? As for example since some years there are dirty bitmaps etc which all take space in the qcow2 image. As far as I see there is no way to really calculate the exact max size (as it might depend on external factors), but it might be useful to extend the 1.1x to 1.2x for example? Or maybe the limit is not needed anymore at all? Thanks Jean-Louis

Hello, I am used to create new vm with ovirt_vm module. Now, I want that the disk of each new created vm to be with the incremental statement. I tried so: disks: - id: "{{result.disk.id}}" bootable: True interface: virtio_scsi backup: incremental but it seems that the backup item is not implemented. How to attach a disk with the incremental statement?

Hosted Engine 4.5 Deployment Issues
by nathan.english＠bt.com 15 Dec '22

15 Dec '22

Hi There, Apologies in advanced, I'm sure this has been asked before, but I struggle to find anything in the documentation. I'm currently in the process of deploying my first oVirt instance, and having a issue when the Hosted Engine is trying to Install the Hosted Engine Package. Error from the logs attached. My Environment is behind a proxy, which blocks access to any domain containing the word mirror, so I understand why the error would be thrown. Is there any way to update the repos so I can point them to alternative sources? I have a working local mirror in my environment which does contain all the packages required for oVirt. Kind Regards, Nathan
