New oVirt Sub-Project: oVirt Engine DR
by Brian Proffitt 20 Jul '16

20 Jul '16

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.
