ovirt.js OPW project
by Jenny Kang
Hello!
I'm a student and I'm interested in the OPW project, which funds women
into open source projects. oVirt is one of the supported projects. I'm
really interested in working on the new ovirt.js library which uses the
ovirt rest api.
I need a mentor for this project. Any suggestions if it's a good idea to
work on this? And also anyone interested in mentoring me in this
project?
I'm not selected yet but I would love to commit some contributions to
get a feel of what it's like to work on ovirt.js beforehand.
Cheers,
Jenny

virt-v2v intergration with vdsm
by Shahar Havivi
Hi,
We are planning to add couple of verbs to vdsm in order to import external VMs
from VMWare esx server directly to data domain.
This ability will also be reflected in oVirt engine and will enable user to
view and select VMs from esx server, currently if oVirt user want to import a
VM he needs to invoke a virt-v2v command line that will transfer the VM to
an export domain and then import the same VM from export domain to data domain,
Our goal is to eliminate the additional copy and simplify the process.
In order to achive that we need to add two verbs for vdsm:
1. getExternalVmList(uri):
This call is for listing all VMs that are raised in a specified esx server
given its uri.
2. convertExternalVm():
The actual call to virt-v2v for copy and convert the VM to data domain,
importVm will be called after the oVirt engine create the right image
structure (via createImage)
The virt-v2v handling verbs and other needed logic will be presented in a new
file vdsm/v2v.py
More details on virt-v2v integration can be found in its feature page:
http://www.ovirt.org/Features/virt-v2v_Integration
Thanks,
Shahar Havivi.

[ANN] oVirt 3.4.4 Release is now available
by Sandro Bonazzola
The oVirt development team is pleased to announce the general
availability of oVirt 3.4.4 as of Sep 23th 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 Live ISO will be available too[2].

physical disk management for gluster in vdsm
by Balamurugan Arumugam
Hi All,
Currently gluster management in ovirt is not complete if disks in hosts are not formatted/mounted. It expects those actions done prior in the host added to ovirt. We have a requirement to manage physical disks by
1. identify and populate physical disks.
2. identify and manage hardware raids.
3. create thick and thin logical volumes in unused physical disks.
4. format and mount logical volumes.
5. fstab management for new logical volumes.
To have this feature, I would like to start a discussion here to explore possible options suitable for vdsm/engine.
We have done a small PoC with OpenLMI[1] by having verbs in vdsm to achieve this. Also we explored ovirt-engine directly calling tog-pegasus/cim-server to get cim object to avoid two level of hopes ("ovirt-engine calls vdsm <-> vdsm calls openlmi locally <-> openlmi does the job" than "ovirt-engine calls vdsm <-> openlmi does the job") which also works.
I would like to get your feedback about the PoC and suggestions/ideas how physical disk management can be.
Regards,
Bala

Remote DataCenter/Cluster
by Sahina Bose
Hi,
We ran into a requirement where we need to mark a DataCenter or Cluster
as remote. This is for the feature Gluster Geo-replication management -
where the same oVirt instance will be managing both the master volume
and as well as the remote site volume
The reason we want to call out a Datacenter as remote, is to ensure that
the polling frequency on this is different from one that is co-located.
Is there a similar requirement for virtualization?
thanks
sahina
