- Shani Leviim

- Martin Perina

For having assisted looking into reported issues.

Test cases covered, see reports:

https://trello.com/c/KNPBi5Fp - Deploy on Ceph storage

https://trello.com/c/3oblVWDs - Upgrade from oVirt 4.4.10 with Gluster 8 to oVirt 4.5.0 Beta with Gluster 10

Today test day resulted with the opening / hitting the following bugs:

oVirt:

Bug 2072881 - Upgrade via backup and restore from 4.4 to 4.5 is blocked

Bug 2073005 - ui-extensions dialogs are flashing when they are rendered on a chrome browser

Bug 2073120 - The CPU resources are not properly freed upon dedicated VM hibernation

Bug 2073074 - failing to set tuned profile on oVirt Node with Gluster Mode

https://github.com/oVirt/ovirt-engine/issues/246 - With engine installed in Gluster mode only, the compute tab is not listed anymore in the left menu.

oVirt Website / Docs:

https://github.com/oVirt/ovirt-site/issues/2838 - Missing oVirt 4.4 to 4.5 upgrade guide

https://github.com/oVirt/ovirt-site/issues/2837 - Upgrade guide is not correctly oVirt branded

The dedicated test day is reaching its end but it doesn't mean you can't continue the testing.

Please continue testing it as most of the test cases in the trello board have not been touched at all.

A beta refresh / release candidate will be prepared after the upgrade issue reported in https://trello.com/c/3oblVWDs will be fixed.

We are 7 working days to GA, I can't express how important it is to join the testing effort of this oVirt beta if you expect your specific use case to work without issues at GA.

Thanks,
