Description Liran Rotenberg 2019-02-05 11:34:49 UTC
Description of problem:
On existing cluster, when upgrading to 4.3, the cluster's VNC encryption is false.
But, on hosts, they configured with VNC encryption.

In the DB, 
select vnc_encryption_enabled from vds_dynamic where vds_id=<your host id>;

Will result with false flag on the hosts.

In the host /etc/libvirt/qemu.conf
vnc_tls=1
vnc_tls_x509_cert_dir="/etc/pki/vdsm/libvirt-vnc"

This will result NoVNC to break - https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1659155

The user is not aware to the encryption, remote-viewer needs additional configuration - in this state it will open and immediate close.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
ovirt-engine-4.3.0-0.8.rc2.el7.noarch

How reproducible:
100%

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Upgrade the host from 4.2 to 4.3.

Actual results:
VNC encryption is set on the host while the cluster set False to VNC encryption.

Expected results:
VNC encryption to be set as the cluster.

Comment 3 Tomasz Barański 2019-02-05 11:50:22 UTC
There is a workaround until the bug is fixed:

1. Comment out `vnc_tls=1` in /etc/libvirt/qemu.conf (or change it to vnc_tls=0).
2. Restart the host
   (actually, what is strictly necessary is restarting libvirt and all affected VMs. Restarting the host might just be easier).

Greg was faster, but definitely able to be verified with nightlies

Comment 8 Liran Rotenberg 2019-02-12 08:11:37 UTC
Verified on:
ovirt-engine-4.3.0.5-0.0.master.20190210112640.git53b60e3.el7.noarch

Steps:
1. Create a cluster with un-upgraded host, VNC encryption disabled.
2. Check the host qemu.conf for vnc_tls
# less /etc/libvirt/qemu.conf | grep vnc_tls
3. Check for update from the UI.
4. Upgrade the host from UI.
5. Check the host qemu.conf for vnc_tls
# less /etc/libvirt/qemu.conf | grep vnc_tls
6. Check host-deploy log for TLS conditions.

Results:
In step 2, qemu.conf is without vnc_tls=1, it's commented as it should be.
In step 5, the result is the same as step 2, as expected.
