Description Sandro Bonazzola 2021-12-13 16:46:49 UTC
This has been reported in users mailing list by Federico Fiordoliva - INAF.
I can confirm efi related packages are missing within 4.4.9.1 and 4.4.9.2 ISOs and ovirt-host has been downgraded from 4.4.9-2 to 4.4.8-1.

I checked the build logs and apparently no error has been reported by the build system.

It indeed seems like either a proxy or something else is reporting older versions of ovirt-host to dnf installer. It also doesn't detect to be on x86_64 architecture so it misses to require efi support.

We need additional automated tests on oVirt Node using UEFI instead og legacy BIOS.

Comment 1 RHEL Program Management 2021-12-13 16:46:55 UTC
This bug report has Keywords: Regression or TestBlocker.
Since no regressions or test blockers are allowed between releases, it is also being identified as a blocker for this release. Please resolve ASAP.

# dnf install  --nogpgcheck --nodocs --setopt=install_weak_deps=False --exclude ovirt-node-ng-image-update ovirt-release-host-node ovirt-node-ng-image-update-placeholder

install ovirt-host-4.4.8-1 as dependency.

# dnf install  --nogpgcheck --nodocs --setopt=install_weak_deps=False --exclude ovirt-node-ng-image-update ovirt-release-host-node ovirt-node-ng-image-update-placeholder ovirt-host

install ovirt-host-4.4.9-2 as dependency.

So the repo is ok and it's not a mirror issue.

Comment 3 Sandro Bonazzola 2021-12-13 17:55:17 UTC
The issue of ovirt-host not being installed at latest version is due to:

Problem: problem with installed package rsyslog-8.2102.0-6.el8.x86_64
  - cannot install both rsyslog-8.2102.0-5.el8.x86_64 and rsyslog-8.2102.0-6.el8.x86_64
  - cannot install both rsyslog-8.2102.0-6.el8.x86_64 and rsyslog-8.2102.0-5.el8.x86_64
  - package rsyslog-openssl-8.2102.0-5.el8.x86_64 requires rsyslog = 8.2102.0-5.el8, but none of the providers can be installed
  - package ovirt-host-dependencies-4.4.9-2.el8.x86_64 requires rsyslog-openssl, but none of the providers can be installed
  - package ovirt-host-4.4.9-2.el8.x86_64 requires ovirt-host-dependencies = 4.4.9-2.el8, but none of the providers can be installed
  - cannot install the best update candidate for package ovirt-host-4.4.8-1.el8.x86_64
  - package rsyslog-8.2102.0-5.el8.x86_64 is filtered out by exclude filtering
  - package rsyslog-openssl-8.2102.0-5.el8.x86_64 is filtered out by exclude filtering

which is a regression in rsyslog package shipped in CentOS Stream

Comment 4 Michal Skrivanek 2021-12-14 07:18:17 UTC
we can likely boot the node via UEFI in OST. We have a common template, but I do not see a problem booting all OST VMs like that.

Comment 5 Sandro Bonazzola 2021-12-15 11:16:40 UTC
A quick update:
- the rsyslog issue has been solved, now ovirt-host-4.4.9 package is getting included in the build
- the ovirt-release-host-node package was missing the uefi packages because the CentOS Build Service koji didn't trigger the is_x86 macro within the spec file. I'm rebuilding the package using COPR instead as it seems it works correctly there. I need to investigate on why the is_x86 macro didn't trigger properly but we may end up having to give up on the noarch for the package and make it architecture specific to solve the issue. I opened bug #2032850 to track this.
