[Engine-devel] Predictable_vNIC_Order
by Meni Yakove 29 Jan '14

29 Jan '14

Hi, On oVirt 3.4 there is new feature: http://liver.englab.brq.redhat.com/redirect/?url=http://wiki.ovirt.org/Feat… Right now the feature make sure that the VNIC ordering for VM is the same after create VM from template/snapshot/import. For example: On original VM VNIC1 attached to network blue and VNIC2 attached to network red and on the VM we have two interfaces ETH0 and ETH1, after creating template from this VM and create VM from the template the order of the VNICs are the same for the new VM. On the VM from template the first VNIC is attached to blue network and the second VNIC is attached to red network but on the VM we have ETH2 and ETH3 I think that the feature should also include Sealing_Linux_VM: http://www.ovirt.org/Sealing_Linux_VM Whit this on the VM from template the interface naming will be the same as the original VM. (ETH0 and ETH1) Please share your opinion. Thanks Meni

[Engine-devel] ovirt-3.3.3 release postponed due to blockers
by Sandro Bonazzola 28 Jan '14

28 Jan '14

Hi, oVirt 3.3.3 release need to be postponed. A recent release of python-cpopen-1.3 is breaking dependency resolution on EL6 and F19 so vdsm can't be installed and node can't be composed. A recent change in vdsm-python-cpopen added the needed conflict against python-cpopen and removed Provides / Obsoletes on python-cpopen. But no new releases of python-cpopen is available fixing the correct Provides / Obsoletes pair. oVirt 3.3.2 / stable is affected too. Please fix Bug 1056470 - python-cpopen-1.3 is not providing obsoleted package. Bug 1056464 - python-cpopen-1.3 is not providing obsoleted package. ASAP. -- Sandro Bonazzola Better technology.

[Engine-devel] oVirt 3.4 test day - PPC support
by Barak Azulay 27 Jan '14

27 Jan '14

Hi, I tried to test various engine features related to PPC support, However since I don't have a real Power PC HW I tried using the fake PPC configuration introduced by http://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/c/18718 So I added the following configuration to /etc/vdsm/vdsm.conf on a x86_64 host: fake_kvm_support=true fake_kvm_architecture=ppc64 And indeed it looked successful as you can see below [root@bazulay1 ~]# vdsClient -s 0 getVdsCaps | grep -i cpu cpuCores = '4' cpuFlags = 'powernv,model_POWER7_v2.3' cpuModel = 'POWER 7 (fake)' cpuSockets = '1' cpuSpeed = '3401.000' cpuThreads = '8' However after creating the appropriate cluster: CPU Architecture = ppc64 CPU name = IBM POWER 7* (meaning I tried all IBM POWER 7... cpus) Adding the host always ended in non operational status with the error: "Host bazulay1 has architecture x86_64 and cannot join Cluster TESTDAY-CLUSTER which has architecture ppc64." Thanks Barak Azulay

[Engine-devel] Bug status
by Sandro Bonazzola 27 Jan '14

27 Jan '14

Hi maintainers, since there's no automation in place for moving bz from MODIFIED to ON_QA when we build a new release, please remember to take care of your bz and move them to ON_QA when you build your packages for beta / rc testing. I can just move to ON_QA bz moved to MODIFIED before yum repository composition but it's not a good way to go. Thanks, -- Sandro Bonazzola Better technology. Faster innovation.

by Tal Nisan 26 Jan '14

26 Jan '14

Hi core maintainers, I would like to propose Liron Aravot as an engine-core maintainer. Liron joined the oVirt project on June 2012, and has since contributed over 170 patches to master (not counting backports to various stable branches). He has been instrumental in implementing oVirt's Backup API for external providers, and has a been a driving force in improving flows regarding SPM election and master domain reconstruction, handling OVF backups and various concurrency issues both as a coder and a reviewer. Your response would be appreciated. Thanks, Tal.

[Engine-devel] [Users] The machine type of one cluster
by Kewei Yu 26 Jan '14

26 Jan '14

Hi all: There is a "machine type" in cluster, It will decide which machine of Qemu will be used, When we add the first host into cluster, a default machine type is shown. We can correct the DB's value of the engine to set the machine type. I just want to know how dose cluster choice the default machine? It is decided by VDSM? Qemu? or It is only fixed value in engine's DB? Regard Kewei

[Engine-devel] "Guest Agent Data" under "Network Interfaces" empty
by Yedidyah Bar David 23 Jan '14

23 Jan '14

Hi all, I installed ovirt engine 3.4 beta with two VMs - one opensuse 13.1 with ovirt-guest-agent from [1] and another fedora 19 with oga from fedora. Both of them seem to work well - I can see installed applications, logged in user, memory usage. But in both of them, under "Network Interfaces", the "Guest Agent Data" tab on the right has just headers, with no data. 'vdsClient -s 0 getAllVmStats' on the host does show such data correctly for both VMs. Am I missing anything? Is it a bug, or I should do something to get there data from the agent (through vdsm)? [1] https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:evilissimo/ovirt-guest-agent Thanks, -- Didi
