Hi Malcolm,

Select the Cluster line at Compute > Cluster and edit it.
Then check if in the Console left tab, the Enable VNC Encryption is set.
If enabled, you will need to disable it, and using the web UI, put a host into 
Maintenance mode, then click the Installation button > Reinstall.

Subject: [External] : [ovirt-users] Lost console access to VMs after updating

We have a couple OLVM instances.  Completely separate with their own managers 
(ovirt-engine).  One is lab and one is prod.
I updated the lab engine from 4.5.4-1.0.31.el8 to 4.5.5-1.22.el8 and as soon as 
that was done and it rebooted I no longer can open VM consoles.

This was the update process followed:
https://docs.oracle.com/en/virtualization/oracle-linux-virtualization-manager/admin/admin-update-engine-she-kvm.html#update-engine-she-kvm

In troubleshooting I checked for the SASL db which appears to be 
/etc/libvirt/passwd.db

# grep sasldb_path /etc/sasl2/libvirt.conf
sasldb_path: /etc/libvirt/passwd.db

I can verify the vdsm user and realm is in there

# sasldblistusers2 -f /etc/libvirt/passwd.db
vdsm@ovirt: userPassword

We are using noVNC in the browser and when I click on a vm and then console it 
opens a new window and just has the "connecting" message.  I switched to Native 
VNC client and downloaded the console.vv file which looks normal inside and 
when I try and open it with vnc viewer or remote-viewer etc. I get a window 
that connects, authenticates with the password found in the console.vv but then 
presented with a display that says "Guest has not initialized the display 
(yet)."

Thinking perhaps I need to update the KVM hosts too I proceeded with the update 
document listed above but even with the hosts updated nothing has changed.

If I tail /var/log/messages when opening a console connection all I see is this:
Oct 14 10:33:52 olvm2 kernel: sd 6:0:0:1: Warning! Received an indication that 
the LUN reached a thin provisioning soft threshold.
Oct 14 10:34:41 olvm2 saslpasswd2[55701]: error deleting entry from sasldb: 
BDB0073 DB_NOTFOUND: No matching key/data pair found Oct 14 10:34:41 olvm2 
saslpasswd2[55701]: error deleting entry from sasldb: BDB0073 DB_NOTFOUND: No 
matching key/data pair found Oct 14 10:34:41 olvm2 saslpasswd2[55701]: error 
deleting entry from sasldb: BDB0073 DB_NOTFOUND: No matching key/data pair 
found Oct 14 10:34:41 olvm2 saslpasswd2[55701]: error deleting entry from 
sasldb: BDB0073 DB_NOTFOUND: No matching key/data pair found

I checked the production OLVM cluster which has not been updated and has a 
properly functioning vnc consoles and it produces the exact same errors shown 
above in the logs when opening a console.  So I don't think that error is the 
cause if the issue although likely something that needs to be fixed.

If I check the VM guest log when opening a console I get nothing.
tail -f /var/log/libvirt/qemu/<vm_hostname>.log

Has anyone else run into this issue when updating?  Any ideas on what more I 
can look at or troubleshoot?

Thanks
Malcolm
