[ovirt-users] Re: Issue upgrading from 4.3 (Centos 7) to 4.4 (Centos 8)
Hi Didi, Thank you so much for your help! My SSO issue got resolved after reading one fo the bugs you included. My issue was on my old engine server, I have changed the config to point directly at /etc/krb5.keytab After copying /etc/krb5.keytab to /etc/http/http.keytab, redid the backup, the keytab got restored properly in the right place. I could have included /etc/krb5.keytab and a few other files in the backup according to one of the documentation, but it wasn't necessary. Since this is a one time process, I just manually logged on to the new engine VM and installed several RPMs needed for SSSD, KRB5 and corresponding configuration files. Everything else pretty much just worked, where it waited for me to add configure my networks, etc before removing the lock file. Also, I ran into small issues such as /rhev/data-center/mnt owned by root which should be vdsm:kvm, my new NFS volume for the new engine also need to be chown'ed to vdsm:kvm. And one my iscsci storage domain couldn't be mounted because I needed to add the initiator ID to my netapp filer. Hopefully it won't be that difficult going to 4.5 or newer versions in the future. ... ling ___ Users mailing list -- users@ovirt.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@ovirt.org Privacy Statement: https://www.ovirt.org/privacy-policy.html oVirt Code of Conduct: https://www.ovirt.org/community/about/community-guidelines/ List Archives: https://lists.ovirt.org/archives/list/users@ovirt.org/message/ZOC3MKARVZGA4ADTLVK576CYFA27BMKT/

Even if version 7 of CentOS is supported through 2024, you are almost not getting any oVirt based update since June last year when the latest version of oVirt 4.3.x (4.3.10) has been released. RH EL for its 7.x version updates doesn't necessarily track incompatibilities with oVirt packages. So in my opinion iit s also risky to remain with a frozen 4.3 oVirt installation and to go with os overall updates for 3 years I would identify the reasons not allowing to pass to 4.4 and solve them in the meantime.

Do you make sure to backup and restore your conf? You can do this
either using engine-backup itself, see e.g.:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1422980 , comment 15 in particular
and also:
https://www.ovirt.org/documentation/administration_guide/#Configuring_LDAP_and_Kerberos_for_Single_Sign-on
and the specific mentions of engine-backup there, re what files it
always includes, which we added in:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1693816
Alternatively, you can write custom ansible hooks, see my other reply
(and search the net/bugzilla for examples - there are a few around).

Indeed. Above failure happens before "Add host" (which fails if there
are missing required networks).

You are most welcome to simply study the (ansible) sources: https://github.com/oVirt/ovirt-ansible-collection/tree/master/roles/hosted_engine_setup Basically, the process: 1. Prompts for various details 2. Creates a local libvirt VM on local storage from the appliance image (+these details) 3. Starts this VM as HostedEngineLocal 4. Runs engine-setup, adds the host to the engine 5. Then prompts for storage details etc. 6. Creates the storage domain, edits the engine db a bit, shuts down the VM, edits it a bit further 7. Copies the VM's disk to the shared storage 8.

In theory, you can indeed manually update conf where needed to move the engine to another storage. In practice this was never considered important enough, and somewhat risky, so was never done. The documented way to do that is using engine-backup and hosted-engine --deploy --import-from-file. > >> > >> Or does 4.4 remove the ability to install the hosted-engine into a > >> CentOS > >> OS and instead one must always use a Hosted Engine appliance?

So this is indeed new to you. I hope that's ok :-). At first I was also somewhat hesitant about this, losing so much flexibility. But in practice, I can't remember even one case of someone asking to have this back. The appliance simply works, and works well, is far easier and faster to install than anything else (unless you had a very fine-tuned PXE installation system), and we still provide enough flexibility (IMO) using ansible hooks - see above link to the sources (github shows you the README in that directory). And, BTW, the appliance is not like ovirt-node - once you install it, it's just a plain normal CentOS machine - you upgrade stuff using 'dnf update' and 'engine-setup', etc. Best regards, > >> > >> > Good luck and best regards, > > > > -derek > > -- >Derek Atkins 617-623-3745 >de...@ihtfp.com www.ihtfp.com >Computer and Internet Security Consultant > -- Didi ___ Users mailing list -- users@ovirt.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@ovirt.org Privacy Statement: https://www.ovirt.org/privacy-policy.html oVirt Code of Conduct: https://www.ovirt.org/community/about/community-guidelines/ List Archives: https://lists.ovirt.org/archives/list/users@ovirt.org/message/H6QYBTHUD7GVXPNVMGWF5JJBEZD4Z6RS/

Hi Didi,
Thanks a lot for taking the time to help!

I created it manually.
So, last night, I removed ovirtmgmt I have created manually, and set up eth0
with Type Ethernet and ip address. This time it went way further, and the
engine VM doesn't pause any more.
Now I run into some other issues:
[ ERROR ] ovirtsdk4.AuthError: Error during SSO authentication access_denied :
Cannot authenticate user 'None@N/A': No valid profile found in credentials..

true}
[snipped]
[ ERROR ] Hosted Engine deployment failed: please check the logs for the issue,
fix accordingly or re-deploy from scratch.
Log file is located at
/var/log/ovirt-hosted-engine-setup/ovirt-hosted-engine-setup-20210505002924-q8il5m.log
The Engine VM is still running and I could ssh into it. Connecting to the
Management GUI, I am not able to log in using admin and password, or root and
password I have given when running hosted-engine --deploy. I guess it'
I have Kerberos configured for authentication and LDAP for authorization. Would
restoring it this way work? Or should I remove the Kerberos and other SSO
configuration, and do a backup and restoring again?
Also, I do have other "required" networks. But though I answered "Yes" this
time to the question "Pause the execution after adding this host to the
engine?", I didn't get to this stage I think before

How does this work? If I'm installing CentOS and then the Engine into the Hosted-Engine VM, don't I need a storage domain for that OS defined in order for me to install the OS into the VM? This sounds like a bootstrapping problem? Or do I install into some temporary storage and then once the Engine + VDSM are up and running I can assign the permanent storage and it will save/copy the temporary storage over to the permanent storage? But in the latter case, that would imply the ability to move the hosted-engine storage domain from one place to another? Or does 4.4 remove the ability to install the hosted-engine into a CentOS OS and instead one must always use a Hosted Engine appliance? NB: I installed back at 4.0 and have been upgrading ever since, so I've never had to re-install the engine from scratch; I know I will need to do that if I ever decide to upgrade from 4.3.10 to 4.4 (which, frankly, I am not looking forward to doing any time soon). > Good luck and best regards, -derek -- Derek Atkins 617-623-3745 de...@ihtfp.com www.ihtfp.com Computer and Internet Security Consultant ___ Users mailing list -- users@ovirt.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@ovirt.org Privacy Statement: https://www.ovirt.org/privacy-policy.html oVirt Code of Conduct: https://www.ovirt.org/community/about/community-guidelines/ List Archives: https://lists.ovirt.org/archives/list/users@ovirt.org/message/I4OTGXBR3NH236F7LJJ4FBO4MC5SJ3D3/

In principle you should do nothing - just tell the process which NIC to use for ovirtmgmt, and it will configure ovirtmgmt for you. All the other network configuration you can/should do from inside the engine admin ui. If you have other networks marked "required", the deployment process will fail trying to add the host to the engine (because it can't know which NICs/VLANs should be used for which networks) and will pause, waiting for you to remove some lock file, letting you fix stuff manually. See also: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/1893385 . > > And how about engine storage domain? I have a new NFS mount ready but it did > not ask me about which storage domain to use. Will it ask in later stage? Yes, storage is handled (also asked about) in a later stage, after the engine is up and the host added to it.. This is a change from <= 4.2, and was done so that we can use the engine (and vdsm) for this, instead of duplicating their functionality in the deploy code.
