oVirt 4.5: Ansible Self-hosted deployment never created ovirtmgmt bridge
by Alex.Pham＠hughes.com 06 May '25

06 May '25

I am attempting to perform an oVirt self-hosted deployment but it is failing while waiting for the VM to be up because the ovirtmgmt bridge is not being created. I have attempted the install about 8 times now and it fails with the same error every time. ovirtmgmt bridge is not created and it waits for VM to be up until it times out. I am performing the oVirt deployment using the ansible collection ovirt.ovirt with role hosted_engine_setup. ansible-playbook engineDeploy.yml --extra-vars='@./engineconfig.json' --extra-vars='@./enginePasswords.yml' The strange thing is, I had previously successfully installed oVirt on this server using the same engineDeploy.yml and same engineconfig.json and enginePasswords.yml. Nothing has changed with the server or these files as far as I know. Components: Server HPE G10 DL360 - AlmaLinux 8.10 ovirt-ansible-collection.noarch 3.2.0-1.el8 ovirt-engine-appliance.x86_64 4.5-20231201120252.1.el8 I can post the entire engine.log if required but the only error I see in the engine is the following: UpdateNetworkCommand internal: false.

Ovirt 4.3 update to Ovirt 4.5 on alma8
by Pavel Šipoš 01 May '25

01 May '25

Hi, I’m working on upgrading an oVirt 4.3 cluster to the latest 4.5 version. So far, I’ve successfully performed a test upgrade of the oVirt Engine from 4.3 (CentOS 7) to 4.4 (AlmaLinux 8.10). I’ve encountered some noVNC issues, as described here: https://forums.oracle.com/ords/apexds/post/olvm-manager-vm-console-novnc-ex… I’ll probably leave this issue unresolved for now, as I’m planning to continue with the upgrade process. For the next step, I’d like to ask if anyone has experience installing and running an oVirt 4.5 cluster (both engine and hosts) on AlmaLinux 8.x. So far, it seems that I might need to upgrade the OS to AlmaLinux 9 as well, possibly using ELevate. If anyone has recently completed a similar migration, I’d really appreciate any tips or recommendations. Best regards, Pavel

Do we have RV tool for ovirt similar to vcenter. Trying to fetch VM, Host information and its metadata information.
by dushyantk.sun＠gmail.com 01 May '25

Hi, I am trying to fetch vms,hosts and other component information for reference purpose. However seems like RV tool does not support ovirt. So checking if we have any other way to fetch those information in one api call. Tried builtin grafana but it does not give host information where vm resides.

oVirt enquiry and installation instructions
by Andreas Giannakopoulos 13 Apr '25

13 Apr '25

Hi all, I have been looking into oVirt and researching possible utilization by my team. I have been through the instructions in the site, on github and the forums. I have attempted both with self hosted using the ISO provided and as a standalone engine installation on a separate server. However I have been getting all kinds of different failures and errors and since I understand that some of the instructions provided could be slightly outdated can you please direct me to the most accurate and recent instructions to follow for setting up and testing the environment? Also is there a new version planned some time soon or should I consider the 4.5.5 version from almost 2 years ago the most recent and updated one?

How to modify the MAC address of a bonding interface after changing the nic card
by wodel youchi 02 Apr '25

02 Apr '25

Hi, ovirt 4.4 on centos 8. We have changed the network card of a hypervisor which uses bonding interface. The bonding interface still uses the old MAC address of the former slave interface. We tried to modify it via CLI but it didn't work, as soon as the node (hypervisor) is activated, the old MAC is reestablished. it seems to be backed up somewhere. Should we reinstall the host? Regards.

graphical console strange issue - certificate's owner does not match hostname - IP address (ovirt 4.5.6)
by eson＠inux.cz 01 Apr '25

01 Apr '25

Dear proud RHV/Ovirt Hackers, facing strange issue with graphical console - do you have any tips? We successfully run many different clusters, most of them are similar (versions, hw setup). On single one of those, we are facing issue with opening graphical console: Many other clusters are the same setup, the same number of hypervisors, the same versions of OS, packages, ovirt-engine OS, versions and packages... ...and graphical console opens fine. The graphical console setup is the same at all places also: We did comparison of 'console-1.vv' content over many clusters and its content is totaly the same with the faulty one. Meaning there is never hostname, there is always an IP address (not hostname) as the "The certificate's owner does not match hostname 'IP-address'" says: Any tips howto fix this? Best regards Charles Stellen
