New oVirt Sub-Project: oVirt Engine DR
by 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(a)chocomango.net), Jorge Luis Andrade Escobar (jandrade(a)itm.gt), and
Luis Armando Pérez Marín (lperez(a)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.

[ANN] oVirt 3.6.7 Final Release is now available
by Rafael Martins
The oVirt Project is pleased to announce today the general availability of
oVirt 3.6.7.
This latest community release includes new features and bug fixes for
- oVirt Engine
- oVirt Engine Appliance
- oVirt Hosted Enging HA
- oVirt Hosted Engine Setup
- oVirt Engine SDK
- oVirt Engine Java SDK
- MOM
- OTOPI
- VDSM
oVirt is an open-source, openly-governed enterprise virtualization
management application, developed by a global community. You can use the
oVirt management interface (oVirt Engine) to manage hardware nodes, storage
and network resources, and to deploy and monitor virtual machines running
in your data center.
If you are familiar with VMware products, oVirt is conceptually similar to
vSphere. oVirt serves as the bedrock for Red Hat's Enterprise
Virtualization product, and it is the "upstream" project where new features
are developed prior to their inclusion in Red Hat's supported product
offering.
Notes:
* A new oVirt Live ISO and a new oVirt Engine Appliance are available.
* Mirrors might need up to one day to synchronize.
