Hi Yedidyah,
please find the logs at the following URL:
http://www.klaros-testmanagement.com/files/ovirt/ovirt-restore-logs.tar.gz
Let me know once you received them safely so I can remove them again.
Done.
Thanks, removed.
I also added the restore.log containing the actual error which occured
during the restore.
Since this was a clean system I restored on, the setup has been executed
after the database restore, so the setup logs probably contain nothing
of interest. I added them anyway.
Sorry I wasn't clear enough. I meant the setup logs on the machine used
to create the backup. So that I can try to see why your backup contained
this function. Do you still have these by any chance?
Indeed, I can't see anything wrong in the logs above.
Sorry for misunderstanding, this totally makes sense.
I added the setup logs i found at:
http://www.klaros-testmanagement.com/files/ovirt/ovirt-setup-logs.tar.gz
Again, please let me know once I can remove them.
Done.
Thanks, removed.
Please let me know if there is anything I can add to this.
If you do not have setup logs from the original machine, at least try
to think about its history and tell us notable points - including entire
version history, setup/upgrade (or similar) problems you had there (and
perhaps worked around), etc.
We started with one of the first 4.0 releases and updated the system on
a regular basis since then. We almost never skipped a release.
The last log there is ovirt-engine-setup-20171231170651-lb3q89.log ,
meaning it was last upgraded almost a year ago. Were there indeed no
more upgrades since?
20171231170651 is most probably the date when we installed the last
major release (4.2.0). We did a lot more updates since and I now have a
suspicion what went wrong here.
We naively assumed that a yum update is sufficient for a minor upgrade
of the engine installation. Rereading the documentation I think we were
missing explicit engine-setup calls after each minor upgrade.
It may be the case, that the extra call to engine-setup is required to
not be part of the yum update. I think in this case it would be a good
idea to warn users that this step has not yet been taken and the update
is not completed yet.
Could this be the cause for the missing logs and behavior discrepancies?
If yes, would another call to engine-setup in the current state fix this
and allow us to produce correct backups in the future?
The log indicates the machine was upgraded to ovirt-engine-4.2.0.2 ,
which didn't remove the uuid functions. The bug I linked at before,
1515635, was fixed in 4.2.1.
Based on this, I think the best solution for now would be the patch
you suggested. Would you like to open a bug for this and push a patch
to gerrit? I can do this as well if you prefer. Bug summary line
should probably be something like:
engine-setup fails after restoring a backup taken with 4.2.0
I currently fear that would only cure the symptom.
Another solution would be to try using the same engine version during
restore (4.2.0.2), and only upgrade later. This is a bit hard, because
we do not have separate repos for each version, although they do
include all released versions - so you can try e.g.:
yum install ovirt-engine-4.2.0.2-1.el7
(meaning, after you remove existing 4.2.7, or you can try yum downgrade).
I didn't try this myself, not sure how well it would work. There might
be older dependencies to handle, and/or it might break due to too-new
stuff.
I don't think this is necessary.
Obviously, the best solution is to upgrade more often and backup more
often, and have a smaller difference between backup version and restore
version, ideally no difference. But I realize this does not always
work out for everyone...
You are right, we did this.
Best regards
Torsten
There was indeed one glitch during updates which was connected to the
Postgres version in use:
The initial install was (accidentally) done under Postgres 9.4 which
happened to be present on the machine at that point of time. oVirt 4.0
was allowing this way back then. I think in 4.1 Postgres 9.2 has been
enforced, so there had been workarounds to allow updates under 9.4. This
got resolved with the migration to 4.2 which brought the Postgres 9.5
installation (if I recall that correctly).
Other than that I have no idea which might have introduced this.
All of this sounds irrelevant to current problem. Thanks for recalling :-)
Best regards,
If you find something in the logs you need more information on, please
let me know.
Best regards
Torsten
If you, or anyone, manages to come up with a flow resulting in a 4.2
engine database that contains a function uuid_generate_v1 in the engine
database schema, I'd definitely want to know about it.
Re-adding others posting in this thread, in case someone has a clue.
Perhaps one of you has setup logs of the machine on which the backup
was generated? If so, please share. Thanks.
That said, on a second thought, the implications of this are not that
significant - mainly somewhat lower performance - so perhaps it's more
important to fix your bug (by adding a line to IGNORED_ERRORS, as you
suggested)... but it's still weird.
Thanks and best regards,
Cheers,
Torsten

I experienced the same issue while restoring a full backup (engine &
dwh) on a clean machine. Both machines are running CentOS 7.6 and
oVirt 4.2.7.
The issue went away when adding the following line to the IGNORED_ERRORS
list starting at 1944 in engine-backup:
must be owner of function uuid_generate_v1
Hope this helps,
It does, and thanks for the report!
Can you please share all of your setup logs (/var/log/ovirt-engine/setup/*)?
Thanks!
More details:
This function should not normally be included in a 4.2 backup, and I do
not yet understand why you get this error.
If it's a clean 4.2 setup, it should never have been defined.
Earlier versions did create it, and the upgrade process should have
dropped it, if it's an upgraded setup. See also:

Best regards,
Torsten

hi,
I have the same error when I try to restore on a new hosted VM (ovirt 4.2.3)
Have you a solution ?
