For those of you with memberships to Stack Overflow, the site is hosting free vote-based advertisements for getting contributors for open source projects. The program will feed live remnant ads on Stack Overflow if an ad gets enough votes. oVirt has had an ad created [1] (thanks to Tuomas Kuosmanen!) that can be voted on by Stack Overflow members. For fairness' sake, feel free to vote for any of the other projects you like [2]. I would also like to thank Allon Mureinik for pointing out this opportunity and using his Stack Overflow credentials to get the ad posted!

GWT/Frontent - Looking for convinient way to seperate the "data" from "presentation" in combo boxes
by Yair Zaslavsky 20 Jun '14

20 Jun '14

HI all, If you look at this link - http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_select.asp It shows a selection in which you have a differentiation between the displayable value, and the "data" value (which will be sent as the "selected value"). How can I do the same in GWT? At ListModel for example I saw methods only to add items. Thanks, Yair

To prevent such errors in the future here are some ideas: place the path to scripts and files in general into variables then expand those vars when you want to write the path inside a file. write tests to check if the path to a given file inside a config file really exists, make them triggered by jenkins, never misspell a file again (at least not in a release) :) PS: There is also a test framework for bash, called bats: https://github.com/sstephenson/bats -- Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Regards Sven Kieske Systemadministrator Mittwald CM Service GmbH & Co.

Hi all, The tools page [1] lacks a lot of info such as where the tools can be downloaded/installed from, how to configure and use them, etc. I updated the image uploader section, if someone can do the same for the rest of the tools - it will be great. [1]http://www.ovirt.org/OVirt_engine_tools

Correct way to run internal actions from commands
by Yair Zaslavsky 19 Jun '14

19 Jun '14

Hi all, Thanks to the collaboration of some of the maintainers and others I have managed to merge a patch which gives the ability to run internal commands the following way: If you're writing a code in a class that extends CommandBase, please follow the following instructions: Instead of Backend.getInstance().runInternalAction (or MultipleActions) you should use runInternalAction More patches will be added for running internal queries , and probably endAction as well. Thanks, Yair

by Sandro Bonazzola 18 Jun '14

18 Jun '14

Hi, We're going to start composing oVirt 3.4.3 RC on *2014-07-10 08:00 UTC* from 3.4 branch. A 3.4.3 branch will be created immediately after using the same hash of the build. The bug tracker [1] shows no blocking bugs for the release There are still 38 bugs [2] targeted to 3.4.3. Excluding node and documentation bugs we still have 16 bugs [3] targeted to 3.4.2. Maintainers / Assignee: - Please add the bugs to the tracker if you think that 3.4.3 should not be released without them fixed. - Please update the target to any next release for bugs that won't be in 3.4.3: it will ease gathering the blocking bugs for next releases. - Please fill release notes, the page has been created here [4] - Please build packages before *2014-07-09 15:00 UTC*. Community: - If you're testing oVirt 3.4 nightly snapshot, please add yourself to the test page [5] [1] bugzilla.redhat.com/1107968 [2] http://red.ht/1lBAw2R [3] http://red.ht/1ly9hfA [4] http://www.ovirt.org/OVirt_3.4.3_Release_Notes [5] http://www.ovirt.org/Testing/oVirt_3.4.3_Testing Thanks, -- Sandro Bonazzola Better technology.

oVirt.js - source control & distribution
by Vojtech Szocs 17 Jun '14

17 Jun '14

Hello, I'd like to share my ideas on how to manage oVirt.js source code and distribution for consumer applications. Please let me know what you think, nothing is set in stone :) 1, Idea: separate git repo for oVirt.js, example: "ovirt-engine-sdk-js" - using Node/Grunt for building oVirt.js distributable package - development build: ovirt.js - production build: ovirt.min.js - source maps for production build: ovirt.min.js.map - not sure we really need platform (make/RPM) build here, since WebAdmin & UserPortal are planned to have oVirt.js injected right into their output (GWT-generated) JavaScript code (no need to fetch it at runtime) 2, Idea: contain GWT/Java overlay for oVirt.js in "ovirt-engine" repo - overlay = Java facade to oVirt.js which uses JSNI [1] to delegate calls to underlying JavaScript (oVirt.js) code - for now, WebAdmin & UserPortal are the only GWT applications intended to consume oVirt.js, we can extract the overlay into different repo later if needed 3, Idea: distribute oVirt.js via Bower [2] for common audience - just like any other JavaScript library is distributed - this is similar to oVirt _Java_ SDK distributed via Maven Central (in that case, common audience = Java developers using Maven) 4, Idea: integrate oVirt.js into Engine Maven build as dependency - building oVirt.js would (also) produce ovirt-js-<version>.jar - GWT/Java overlay project (essentially GWT module) would depend on ovirt-js-<version>.jar, including its content into overlay's output JAR - WebAdmin & UserPortal would consume ovirt-js-gwt-<version>.jar (GWT overlay) as GWT module in their <moduleName>.gwt.xml files [1] http://www.gwtproject.org/doc/latest/DevGuideCodingBasicsJSNI.html [2] http://bower.io/ Regards, Vojtech

oVirt.js - API & implementation design summary
by Vojtech Szocs 17 Jun '14

17 Jun '14

Hello, this is a follow-up to my oVirt.js announcement email, I'd like to give you a quick summary of API & implementation design. In other words, I'll try to describe key decisions in oVirt.js API & implementation. 1, General design We're trying to follow best practices in JavaScript development, such as: - containing the whole SDK in a single global variable (because until ES6 we cannot truly avoid global variables) and using IIFE/closure for better information hiding - using ES5 "use strict" (Strict Mode) on function level (so that Strict Mode compliant environments will detect problems early) while not relying on semantical differences introduced by Strict Mode (main reason = IE9) 2, API design As presented in earlier "oVirt JavaScript SDK: Design Proposal" session, our main goals here are API usability and readability. (If you missed this session before, let me know and I'll forward you the slides.) - using fluent interface concept, for example: ovirt.api.datacenters.list().success(dcsListedCallback).run(); - separating the concept of resource (collection) vs. operation (operation = reusable RESTful method abstraction) - separating three logical namespaces: * ovirt.svc -- services used by API implementation Each service should be an object containing reusable methods. 1. existing services can be overridden to achieve SDK portability for given runtime environment. 2. existing services can be used and new services can be added by SDK extensions or clients. * ovirt.util -- utilities used by API implementation Unlike services, utilities are meant to assist with writing more efficient JavaScript code. * ovirt.api -- API as the main entry point to SDK functionality 3, Implementation design I've tried to catch up with my JavaScript knowledge recently, but I'm not an expert, I'm still learning things. Following are ideas which I took into practice within oVirt.js API implementation: - creating objects via mixins, each mixin is a function which gets some object ("that") and adds new properties to that object (augmentation) - simple dependency injection mechanism for mixins, with dependencies resolved against "ovirt.svc" namespace, for example: // Create new object, "spec" = information needed for object creation. function makeSomeObject (spec) { return mixins.mix(spec, [mixinOne, mixinTwo], // array of mixin functions ['depNameOne', 'depNameTwo'] // array of dependency names ); } // "that" = object to augment. // "spec" = information provided for object creation. // "my" = object containing shared secrets, for more details see [1] function mixinOne (that, spec, my) { // Augment "that" with "quack" method, utilize closure to capture // "spec.name" without exposing it to users of "that" object. that.quack = function () { console.log(spec.name + ' says quack!'); // Consume "depNameOne" service, resolved from ovirt.svc namespace that.doSomething = function () { my.depNameOne.whatever(); } } [1] JavaScript: The Good Parts (2008) by Douglas Crockford, chapter "Inheritance", section "Functional" - explanation of "my" object within functional constructor pattern We are NOT using "new" operator in JavaScript. We are also NOT relying on object's prototype chain. We are simply creating useful objects via mixins, which is in my opinion the most simple and flexible way. Regards, Vojtech

Announcing oVirt.js prototype
by Vojtech Szocs 17 Jun '14

17 Jun '14

------=_Part_23610907_1521630269.1403011303574 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Hello everyone, in past few weeks, we've been working on JavaScript SDK for oVirt Engine. Today, I'm happy to announce the first prototype called oVirt.js :) Attached, there's an "sdk-testdrive" UI plugin which: - bundles oVirt.js prototype [ovirt.js] - contains test code for DataCenter object [plugin.js] To install this plugin, simply copy (or symlink) sdk-testdrive.json file and sdk-testdrive-resources directory under /usr/share/ovirt-engine/ui-plugins. Following is a quick recap of test code exercising oVirt.js. To add new DataCenter: // Obtain DataCenter resource collection. // Resource collection is a handle to work with RESTful objects. var dcColl = ovirt.api.datacenters; // Obtain "add DataCenter" operation. // Operation is a reusable, uhm, operation, backed by HTTP request. // You can run the same operation multiple times, if necessary. var addOp = dcColl.add({ name: 'test-dc', local: false }); // Register result handler and run the operation. addOp.success(dcAddedCallback).run(); // Example of operation result handler that receives a single resource. function dcAddedCallback (dc) { console.log('Added: ' + dc.data().name); } In dcAddedCallback function shown above, "dc" is a resource object, representing a handle to work with RESTful DataCenter object. It provides access to underlying resource data: var dcDataObj = dc.data(); // Get var dcName = dcDataObj.name; var dcDesc = dcDataObj.description; // Set multiple properties at once ... dc.data({ name: 'test-dc-updated', description: 'test' }); // ... or one by one dcDataObj.name = 'test-dc-updated'; dcDataObj.description = 'test'; It also gives access to nested collections (if any) and supported actions (if any): // Obtain Cluster resource collection for given DataCenter. var dcClusterColl = dc.clusters; oVirt.js is currently only 445 lines of code, yey :) we're not using any code generation at this point, we're simply relying on HATEOAS [1] principle of REST and dynamically augmenting resource objects with nested collections and supported actions, which are part of resource representation. [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HATEOAS I feel we'll eventually come to a point where code generation can be useful, but for now, we're trying to keep things small and simple. oVirt.js currently uses Lo-Dash library [2] containing various utility functions. I think that Lo-Dash is great because it makes working with JavaScript a bit easier. [2] http://lodash.com/ Overall, oVirt.js will be self-contained, which means there will be no additional dependencies from JavaScript perspective. Using oVirt.js in HTML page will be as simple as this: <script src="ovirt.js"></script> This means that (build-time) dependencies such as Lo-Dash will be inlined into resulting oVirt.js build. We're also planning to provide minified version + Source Maps for better debugging. oVirt.js is planned to be usable NOT ONLY in web browsers. In fact, there's "ovirt.svc" namespace containing services used by oVirt.js API implementation. You (or any 3rd party extension) can override these services to achieve SDK portability for given runtime environment. In other words, I'd love to see oVirt.js used also with Node.js :) Finally, an important thing to mention - oVirt.js requires AT LEAST ECMAScript 5.1 compliant environment. All modern browsers support ES5, including IE9+. Unfortunately, IE9 doesn't support ES5 Strict Mode, but that's not that big of a deal. I'll send some more emails outlining implementation design and also how to manage source control & distribution of oVirt.js.

Speakers will receive a complimentary pass for the event. In the instance that your submission has multiple presenters, only the primary speaker for a proposal will receive a complementary event pass. For panel discussions, all panelists will receive a complimentary event pass. TECHNICAL TALKS A good technical talk should not just report on what has happened over the last year; it should present a concrete problem and how it impacts the user and/or developer community. Whenever applicable, it should focus on the work that needs to be done or the difficulties that haven't yet been solved. Summarizing recent developments is okay but it should not be more than a small portion of the overall talk. END-USER TALKS One of the big challenges as developers is to know what, where and how people actually use our software. We will reserve a few slots for end users talking about their deployment challenges and achievements. If you are using KVM in production you are encouraged submit a speaking proposal. Simply mark it as an end-user talk. As an end user, this is a unique opportunity to get your input to developers. HANDS-ON / BOF SESSIONS We will reserve some time for people to get together and discuss strategic decisions as well as other topics that are best solved within smaller groups. This time can also be used for hands-on hacking sessions if you have concrete code problems to solve. These sessions will be announced during the event. If you are interested in organizing such a session, please add it to the list at http://www.linux-kvm.org/page/KVM_Forum_2014_BOF Let people you think might be interested know about it, and encourage them to add their names to the wiki page as well. Please try to add your ideas to the list before KVM Forum starts. PANEL DISCUSSIONS If you are proposing a panel discussion, please make sure that you list all of your potential panelists in your abstract. We will request full biographies if a panel is accepted. =============== HOTEL / TRAVEL =============== The KVM Forum 2014 will be held in Düsseldorf, Germany at Congress Centre Düsseldorf http://events.linuxfoundation.org/events/kvm-forum/attend/hotel-and-travel =============== IMPORTANT DATES =============== Notification: August 20, 2014 Schedule announced: August 29, 2014 Event dates: October 14-16, 2014 Thank you for your interest in KVM.

Question/thoughts about our engine logging framework
by Yair Zaslavsky 16 Jun '14

16 Jun '14

Hi all, During my recent work on AAA, I was suggested by Juan Hernandez to use slf4j logging framework which serves as a facade for other logging frameworks (including java utils logging which is now used by jboss), log4j and others. I have accepted Juan's offer, and then when looking at our LogFactory class I have noticed we use commons logging. Several thoughts/questions - A. Why continue use our own wrapper as slf4j is already a facade. b. I think we should move cross java code to slf4j. What do you think on this point? Some reading material - http://javarevisited.blogspot.com.au/2013/08/why-use-sl4j-over-log4j-for-lo… http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3222895/what-is-the-issue-with-the-runti… Yair

Say Hello to the oVirt Engine Virtual Appliance
by Fabian Deutsch 16 Jun '14

16 Jun '14

Hey, one of the things on the list for oVirt 3.5 was the oVirt Virtual Appliance. Huh, what’s that? You might ask. Well, imagine a cloud image with oVirt Engine 3.5 and it’s dependencies pre-installed, and a sane default answer file for ovirt-engine-setup. All of this delivered in an OVA file. The intention is to get you a running oVirt Engine without much hassle. Furthermore this appliance can be used in conjunction with - and is actually intended for - the Self Hosted Engine feature, and the upcoming oVirt Node Hosted Engine plugin. More informations and links about the appliance and how to build it can be found here: http://dummdida.tumblr.com/post/88944206100/say-hello-to-the-ovirt-engine-v… Testing it with hosted engine is the next step. Greetings fabian

All, I pulled the latest vdsm from master and noticed that build is failing. Here is the patch that causes the failuer: http://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/c/28226 and looking at jenkins comments I can see that jenkins was failing with the same reason: http://jenkins.ovirt.org/job/vdsm_master_storage_functional_tests_localfs_g… Thanks, Piotr

Small note on workarounds in UI code
by Vojtech Szocs 13 Jun '14

13 Jun '14

Hi guys, recently, we've merged a small patch [1] that adds some info on notable (in this case, GWT-Platform framework related) workarounds via comments that look like this: // TODO-GWT: description goes here If you find yourself working around some GWT or GWT-Platform issue, please add a comment like above with some brief description, i.e. link to GWT(P) issue tracker and maybe also short summary of the workaround. In future, when upgrading to newer GWT/P versions, this should aid us in reviewing existing code and reducing the risk of potential issues due to the upgrade. (Ideally, workarounds shouldn't be needed assuming relevant issues are fixed in newer versions; in the worst case, those workarounds might pass compilation but will actually not work or even break stuff.)

virtio-scsi
by Marcus White 12 Jun '14

12 Jun '14

Hello I had some basic questions, was asking them on the kvm list but it probably makes more sense here:) The questions are about virtio-scsi. I would appreciate any help. 1. Is virtio-scsi via QEMU a zero copy operation from guest to disk? The vhost-LIO as I understand it is zero copy, wasnt sure about QEMU. With the VM and the QEMU thread part of the same process, it would be good to know the flow and where the copies occur, if they do. 2. When the block layer underneath QEMU(assuming the QEMU does talk to the block device and not sg, for example), if an error code comes in, is it converted to a SCSI response before being passed to the guest? 3. Are there any other performance tweaks that would help in both the QEMU case and the LIO case? Thanks in advance:) MW

Posting to ovirt-devel will help in having people to review your patches. I did "git blame" on the file you changed in http://gerrit.ovirt.org/28113 and added those who already changed that file for reviewing the patch. > Who decides which oVirt version will include this code or if this code will be included or needs adaptions (I only know that a certain score in gerrit > is required and some developers are allowed to rate a commit)? > > I'm aware that my commit isn't fancy at all and there's no need for any priority, but just want to know what's the right workflow in case I have more > time to work on some bugs... > > I guess these questions could be interesting for users (basically for users who are not familiar with a professional development setup/workflow > including gerrit like me) who want to work on the bugs in june edition as well... I agree. You did everything right since now: - opened a bz - pushed a patch referencing it - added the gerrit reference to bugzilla what you just miss is adding other people for reviewing the patch. Oved Ourfali already set whiteboard to virt, so this is a virt team patch and virt team maintainers will merge your patch once it's ready. Itamar Heim also reviewd the bug you pushed and set target release to 3.5.0. Now you just need to wait for other developers to review the patch and maintainer to merge it. If there will be comments on your patch a new version of the patch may be needed (just amend the patch and push again with the same Change-ID) and it will be reviewed again. you can find more info on gerrit here: https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/Documentation > > > Thanks, > René > > > On 06/12/2014 04:11 PM, Sandro Bonazzola wrote: >> Hi, >> have you got some free time and do you want to get involved in oVirt integration? >> After the success of first edition we're now proposing this again. >> Here are a couple of bugs you can hopefully fix in less that one day or you can just try to reproduce providing info: >> >> Bug 1091651 - Misleading error message when first host cannot be reached during hosted-engine deployment >> Bug 1080823 - [RFE] make override of iptables configurable when using hosted-engine >> Bug 1065350 - hosted-engine should prompt a question at the user when the host was already a host in the engine >> Bug 1097635 - ovirt-hosted-engine-setup fails with Modules libvirt contains invalid configuration >> >> Is this the first time you try to contribute to oVirt project? >> You can start from here [1][2]! >> >> [1] http://www.ovirt.org/Develop >> [2] http://www.ovirt.org/Working_with_oVirt_Gerrit >> >> -- Sandro Bonazzola Better technology.

Entity names in DB scripts
by Yair Zaslavsky 12 Jun '14

12 Jun '14

Hi all, I have a feeling there is some inconsistency in using entity names in the DB scripts. For example, should we use Host or VDS? I am not talking about existing tables or columns but about new ones (and new stored procedures). I am quite sure I saw patches containing both approaches. Yair

[ANN] oVirt 3.4.2 Release is now available
by Sandro Bonazzola 10 Jun '14

10 Jun '14

The oVirt development team is pleased to announce the general availability of oVirt 3.4.2 as of Jun 10th 2014. 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 numerous bug fixes. See the release notes [1] for a list of the new features and bugs fixed. The existing repository ovirt-3.4 has been updated for delivering this release without the need of enabling any other repository, however since we introduced package signing you need an additional step in order to get the public keys installed on your system if you're upgrading from an older release. Please refer to release notes [1] for Installation / Upgrade instructions. Please note that mirrors will need a couple of days before being synchronized. If you want to be sure to use latest rpms and don't want to wait for the mirrors, you can edit /etc/yum.repos.d/ovirt-3.4.repo commenting the mirror line and removing the comment on baseurl line. A new oVirt Node and oVirt Live ISO will be available soon[2].

Gamification session :: summary (June 9, 2014)
by Vojtech Szocs 09 Jun '14

09 Jun '14

Hi guys, following is a summary of today's Gamification session. More details can be found on Gamification etherpad [1]. * Eyal gave an overview of oVirt Gamification initiative and its projects * Vojtech went really quickly through Space Shooter UI plugin * Vojtech walked through main parts of ProgressBar UI plugin source code Next action items: - implement service to retrieve "event" info from Engine - implement service to load achievement definitions and compare them with "event" info - modify main tab to show real data (instead of dummy data) - achievement categories and their respective progress - list of achievements, visually distinguished by their status (completed/locked/etc.) Future action items: - use Grunt to automate common development & build tasks - provide "badges" (round icons) for different achievements -- any volunteers? :) - think of logical scenarios (levels) that group multiple achievements * YamakasY pointed out that it would be nice to have better integration for popular frameworks like AngularJS, establishing common development tools/libraries, sharing knowledge and experience with others Feel free to add anything I might have missed :) [1] http://etherpad.ovirt.org/p/gamification Regards, Vojtech

NUMA-support oVirt scheduler intergation design
by Gilad Chaplik 08 Jun '14

08 Jun '14

Hi List, This is the design for NUMA-support oVirt Scheduler integration; I'll add 3 policy unit modules (#) as described in following document: (1) Filter Module: NUMA_HostFilter: If the VM has NUMA vNodes/pinning configured, and the rule can't be accommodated on the host, it'd filtered. NOTES: * pin2host filter should make sure the filter gets a single host. the filter should be transparent to specific hosts. * not sure we'll want to add this filter in first phase to all cluster/scheduling policies; @Doron? Weights Modules: (2) even_dest_NUMA Should "even distribute" weights (scores) according to: * Available memory on nodes * Numatune memory mode (strict/preferred/interleave) * Autonuma/pinned NUMA (3) power_saving_NUMA (added to power_saving cluster/scheduling policy) * same as even_dest_NUMA with opposite weights. I'd appreciate any comment or suggestion. Once approved by you, I'll update the feature page and upload a patch for review. Thanks, Gilad.

GetCaps for jsonrpc
by Piotr Kliczewski 08 Jun '14

08 Jun '14

Hi all, I would like to see whether there are any suggestions how we can provide information like: - lastClient - lastClientIface - network interface on which client connected In the code prior to jsonrpc changes every time new request (new connection) was received clientIF threadLocal was updated with client information. This code was implemented in xml binding and now we need to provide similar information for jsonrpc. There is difference that we keep connection open for jsonrpc so we can't provide behavior as described above. We can update client information when connection is established. Is that OK or are there any suggestions how to update this information? Thanks, Piotr
