[ovirt-announce] New oVirt Sub-Project: oVirt Engine DR

[Brian Proffitt]

The oVirt Project is pleased to announce a new sub-project within the oVirt
community: oVirt Engine DR, which uses the oVirt API and perform tasks that
would normally require manual intervention, in case of the need for
Disaster Recovery.

Specifically, the oVirt Engine DR is a web application that uses Java, the
oVirt API, PostgreSQL, and MariaDB to perform the tasks needed in a
Disaster Recovery scenario. Features will include:

* Disables Power Management for Hosts
* Manual Fence all Hosts in non_responsive state
* Modifies Server Storage Connections (currently directly to Engine
Database)
* Activates some Hosts to be able to recover from Disaster
* Stores the configuration on a MariaDB database
* Enables the administrator to create other users who can't change
configuration but can start the procedure

 oVirt Engine DR currently exists as an independent open source project
hosted on github[1]. The project, which is currently in incubation status,
includes as the owner and initial maintainers: José Eduardo Andrade Escobar
(jandrad at chocomango.net), Jorge Luis Andrade Escobar (jandrade at itm.gt), and
Luis Armando Pérez Marín (lperez at itm.gt). This sub-project page[2] will
gather input on whether oVirt Engine DR should become a full oVirt
sub-project and, if so, how best to integrate it into the oVirt stack.
