Cannot authenicate to OLVM

[fredtw0]

While Oracle Linux Virtualization Manager is largely based on oVirt, it's not quite the same.

I am testing V2V from vCenter to OLVM with Oracle Linux KVM.

I can certainly authenticate and set up the vSphere source just fine; however, I tried to authenticate using the ovirt option to a test environment with the default admin account, as well as admin@internal. Also, i attempted directly to the host with root. None of these authenticate.

Is there a pre-existing method I am missing?
OR
Is this a feature that can be added? (vSphere -> OLVM migrations)

Use credentials you use to log into oVirt Engine (I.e., https://test-ovirt-engine.tl.local/ovirt-engine)

Alrighty...

I tried to place

Code: Select all

https://<olvm-fdqn>/ovirt-engine/

in the host box, then I attempted both

Code: Select all

admin

and

Code: Select all

admin@internal

with the appropriate password. Unfortunately it is still failing to connect with:

"Host Name or Credentials are wrong!"

Greetings,

Sorry for the delay. Can you try something like admin@ovirt@internal?

Faced the same issue. OLVM version 4.5.5-1.47.el8
In ovirt-engine/engine.log there is a message:
EVENT_ID: USER_VDC_LOGIN(30), User admin@ovirt@internal-authz connecting from '$IP' using session ''$hash' logged in.
But nothing in httpd/access_log and error_log (IDK, maybe it's normal).
In ovirt-requests-log:

Greetings,

Welcome to StarWind Forum. Could you please explain the problem?
Are you converting via CLI or GUI?
What is the converter version you are using?

[akorn]

Greetings,
I'm using GUI, version 9.0.1.757.
I've tried to convert VM from VMware to Oracle. Successfuly authenticated in VMware, but not couldn't authenticate in OLVM. In V2V log:
Facility ???INFO: WrapperKVM::KVMWrapper::KVMWrapperImpl::Connect: Connect to the oVirt host
Facility ???INFO: WrapperKVM::KVMWrapper::KVMWrapperImpl::RetrieveClustersList: oVirt RetrieveClustersList
Facility ???INFO: WrapperKVM::KVMWrapper::KVMWrapperImpl::GetDisksList: oVirt get list of disks
In GUI I see error message "The host name or credential are wrong!"
Connecting with admin@ovirt@internal user

I've asked my colleagues to look into it. Thanks! Is there any way to convert the VM into OVF for now and deploy in-place?

[akorn]

Thanks!
No, I haven't try. Using OVF export/import is boring and not interesting)

[yaroslav (staff)]

Yeah, but it, unfortunately, looks to be the only way to get the VMs converted.

[akorn]

So, Starwind V2V Converter can't do that?
No, OVF is not only way. At least there is virt-v2v. Or Starwind V2V Converter is based on virt-v2v?
And as a last resort there are backup tools - Commvault or maybe Veeam, but it should be checked.

Starwind V2V Converter looks easier, so I still have a hope)

[yaroslav (staff)]

Finding the resolution will take some time. Not to be the bottleneck, I suggested using OVF.
StarWind V2V is not based on Ovirt's solution.
Instant recovery is another option, you are right. I was just trying to come up with a solution that does not require other pieces of software.

Hello.
I'm also experiencing the same issue. Vsphere (8.x) I can get a connection to but when I try and connect to our Oracle KVM we get a connection The Host name or credentials are wrong! error.

[yaroslav (staff)]

Thanks for sharing. We are investigating this one internally.
Please make sure to use the right credentials and stick with any workaround outlined here for now.

I've reinstalled OLVM without Keycloak and it works, at least I'm able to authenticate!
BTW Commvault also doesn't connect to OLVM with integrated Keycloak.

It seems problem is in API auth with Keycloak.
