Veeam 13.1 + oVirt Plugin 13.8.0.395 – OLVM Worker Deployment Network Issue

Today, I built a new Veeam environment using Veeam Backup & Replication 13.1 with oVirt KVM Plugin 13.8.0.395.

When deploying the OLVM worker, the worker deployment completed successfully. However, the worker's network was not working afterward:

  • Veeam could not retrieve the worker's IP address information.
  • The worker could not be pinged from the Veeam server.
  • The worker appeared to be deployed successfully in OLVM, but there was no functional network connectivity.

To troubleshoot, I downgraded the environment to:

  • Veeam Backup & Replication 13.0.3.63
  • oVirt KVM Plugin 13.7.3.63

After the downgrade, I redeployed the OLVM worker using the same OLVM/network configuration, and everything worked as expected. The worker obtained an IP address, Veeam was able to detect it, and network connectivity was working normally.

This makes me suspect there may be a compatibility issue or regression in Veeam 13.1 / oVirt Plugin 13.8.0.395 related to OLVM worker networking.

Hi ​@iamlinus - Welcome to the Community! I agree with you...if downgrading & performing the identical tasks worked successfully, my guess is a “bug” with v13.1. Or, there was some architectural change in v13.1 causing the error. Either way, I think it best to let Veeam Support know so they can confirm/document it, and hopefully at some point provide a fix.

May be worth sharing your bug over on the Forums. I wouldn’t do so until you open a case, then provide the case# in your Forums post. 

Maybe someone else has seen this issue and can comment further…

Best.
