[ATTN] oVirt sync meetings in the next 2 weeks
by Doron Fediuck 24 Dec '13

24 Dec '13

Hi all, The next 2 oVirt sync meetings are planned for Christmas day and New year's day. Both public holiday in many countries. I'd like to cancel these instances so the next oVirt sync meeting will be on January 8, before oVirt 3.4 Beta. In the mean while we'll sync important issues over the relevant lists. Any objections?

oVirt 3.3.2 release
by Sandro Bonazzola 19 Dec '13

19 Dec '13

The oVirt development team is very happy to announce the general availability of oVirt 3.3.2 as of December 19th 2013. This release solidifies oVirt as a leading KVM management application and open source alternative to VMware vSphere. oVirt is available now for Fedora 19 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.5 (or similar). This release of oVirt includes 175 bug fixes and the first release of the Backup and Restore API, which enables backup programs to integrate with oVirt. This release also simplifies the Guide Me VM-creation wizard. See the release notes [1] for a list of the new features and bugs fixed. IMPORTANT NOTE: If you're upgrading from a previous version, please update ovirt-release to the latest version (10) and verify you have the correct repositories enabled by running the following commands # yum update ovirt-release # yum repolist enabled before upgrading with the usual procedure. You should see the ovirt-3.3.2 and ovirt-stable repositories listed in the output of the repolist command. [1] http://www.ovirt.org/OVirt_3.3.2_release_notes -- Sandro Bonazzola Better technology.

by Sandro Bonazzola 16 Dec '13

16 Dec '13

The oVirt team is pleased to announce that the 3.3.2 Release Candidate is now available in ovirt-updates-testing [1]. We planned to release it on Wed Dec 18th 2013 but it will probably be postponed to next week for allowing more testing on the RC. The release date will be decided in next oVrit sync meeting on Wed Dec 18th. Feel free to join us testing it[2] and verifying the bugzilla entries actually under verification [3]. Release notes for this update are available on the wiki [4]. A new oVirt Node build will be available soon as well.

Board meeting, Tuesday Dec 17, 16:00 UTC
by Dave Neary 04 Dec '13

04 Dec '13

Hello everyone, We are long overdue an oVirt board meeting. I had hoped to have an in-person meeting during an oVirt workshop, but for a variety of reasons we do not currently have one planned. I would thus like to have an oVirt board meeting remotely, on Google Hangouts, on Tuesday Dec 17th, 16h UTC. We will work on the agenda over the next couple of weeks. Please confirm your presence, I would like to have a full attendance for the board meeting. Thank you, Dave. -- Dave Neary - Community Action and Impact Open Source and Standards, Red Hat - http://community.redhat.com Ph: +33 9 50 71 55 62 / Cell: +33 6 77 01 92 13

""" The Vdsm rebase during ovirt-3.3.1 caused an unintended change in how gluster storage domains are implemented: Instead of using glusterfs, it is using gluster-fuse. This change has a positive side effect: Bug 1017289 "Snapshots on GlusterFS w/ libgfapi enableda" makes it impossible to use gluster VMs with snapshots on ovirt-3.3.0; that should be possible now. If you would like to maintain the former behavior, you can apply a hackish patch http://gerrit.ovirt.org/21151/ to your Vdsms. """
