Stable branch gerrit hook and Related-To: bug
by Martin Sivak 21 Sep '14

21 Sep '14

Hi, I would like to ask if it might be possible for the gerrit hook to stop giving -1 to patches that do not have bug-url, but have related-to. The reason for this is that I have a rather large patchset that is adding a new feature. No single patch by itself fixes the referenced bug and there are also patches that are not related to the feature itself, but were backported because they did some refactoring that was needed for the code to apply and/or work properly. -- Martin Sivák msivak(a)redhat.com Red Hat Czech RHEV-M SLA / Brno, CZ

Change functionality of some DB common functions
by Eli Mesika 21 Sep '14

21 Sep '14

Hi Up to now , using some common DB functions of delete/rename/change type of column were exiting silently if you had a typo in the table/column name We had a DWH patch made by Shirly that had changed column type for several columns but one of the changes had a typo in the column name This was only found bu QE and potentially could passed QE and found only in production. I had changes those functions not to allow such cases in patch http://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/c/32959 I think that this is a minor change for developers that will get exceptions now for such mistakes , but the benefit for production is clear and obvious to me. I will be glad to get your feedback on this patch Thanks Eli Mesika

bug 1041569 question was: ovirt-d] [QE][ACTION REQUIRED] oVirt 3.5.0 status (fwd)
by R P Herrold 20 Sep '14

20 Sep '14

I was running down the open ovirt bugs, and notice this one, which has an outlink to a post by you (Eric) on a mailing lsit last month > And the following dependencies still open: > Bug 1041569 - [NFR] libvirt: Returning the watermark for all > the images opened for writing https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2014-August/msg00207.html wherein you refer to a 'watermark'. To me as a non-lingo aware (as to libvirt / libguestfs) developer, a watermark is a pattern overlaid onto an image (a pattern placed on the glue side of a postage stamp, or a 'DRAFT" notice on a document) I _think_ you are referring to a 'high water mark' limit which, if exceeded would result in content being lost (there is mention of ENOSPC) Is this accurate? If so, isn't this information filesystem specific and so something which the outsider 'container' cannot and should be expected to reliably know? (I am thinking here of inode exhaustion even when a Linux type FS seemingly has space per: du ; the problem is worse with a 'sparse' capable filesystem in play; and seems wholly unanswerable with a Windows FS or some other variant) I don't see how the hypervisor could accurately ever know this without 'cracking open' and asking the inside tenant .. and for privacy and data integrity / security reasons, the hypervisor should not ever be doing this Thanks -- Russ herrold

OVIRT-3.5-TEST-DAY-3: NUMA support
by Greg Padgett 19 Sep '14

19 Sep '14

Hi, I was slated to test NUMA support along with Adam Litke. As we had to borrow a NUMA-enabled host (thanks Gilad) to perform the tests, I coordinated with Adam to get the testing done and ended up using the host most of the day. Tests performed: Basic sanity test: create/start/stop/destroy VMs with varying NUMA configurations. The running VMs appeared to have the correct NUMA node assignments (presuming the libvirt xml was respected), and everything worked as expected. REST API: GET operations succeeded and appeared correct for the various NUMA-related VM and Host resources. I didn't get the opportunity to perform the POST/PUT/DELETE operations. UI: I built the engine and webadmin with some pending patches to get this functionality. I was cautioned that the patches were fairly new, but nevertheless I was able to create VMs with varying NUMA configurations, and didn't notice any regressions. Thanks, Greg

[Mentor Opportunities] Outreach Program for Women
by Brian Proffitt 19 Sep '14

19 Sep '14

All: I am pleased to announce that oVirt will be participating in the next round of the GNOME Foundation's Outreach Program for Women, an internship program designed to foster more gender-diverse participation within the free and open source software communities. Currently, we have at least one intern position lined up for the program (with hopefully more if our board members decide to sponsor more internships). Right now, we are seeking developers who would be willing to act as mentors from the oVirt project. Details about the program and mentor requirements are available on our OPW landing page[1]. Essentially, this program is very much like the Google Summer of Code project, where we match up interns with projects within oVirt that they can finish up during this round of OPW (December 9, 2014 to March 9, 2015). There is one key difference, that mentors should note: the application process is very interactive, and potential interns are expected to work with program mentors even as they are applying. oVirt mentors will work with participants before and after the application process to help integrate potential interns into the oVirt ecosystem, and continue working with accepted interns as the program progresses. Interested mentors should do the following: 1. Check out the application process[2] for interns so you can see what they are required to do and, in turn, know what will be expected from mentors. 2. Visit the Information for Mentors section[3] of the oVirt OPW page to walk through the process. 3. Fill in the Mentor Information section[4] with your name and contact info. If you have any questions about the program, please let me know. We would like to have mentors lined up as soon as possible, given the upcoming application deadline and the need to have applicants involved with oVirt as soon as possible. We had a pretty good experience with Google Summer of Code, and it will be very cool to continue a similar experience with this new internship program!

[ENGINE] thoughts about LinqUtils
by Yair Zaslavsky 19 Sep '14

19 Sep '14

Hi Engine developers (and others :) ), I would like to share some thoughts & questions with you about the future of LinqUtils 1. Location of LinqUtils Currently LinqUtils resides at utils. However, as LinqUtils contains some non engine related code, I think it should be moved to the new uutils (universal utils) project. uutils was introduced during the work on AAA, in order to provide a set of utilities that are not engine related, and hopefully in the future will be published as a separate artifcat on maven central (Alon, feel free to correct me here :) ) 2. The name LinqUtils - Linq comes from c#. I think these days are way behind us (3 years or so now?) i would like to suggest renaming the class. CollectionUtils? Any other suggestions are more than welcome Thanks, Yair

OVIRT-3.5-TEST-DAY-3: CPU SLA for capping
by Martin Perina 19 Sep '14

19 Sep '14

Hi, I tested the support to limit CPU utilization of hosts. Setting it up in the GUI worked correctly, but for running VM settings are ignored. I used XMLRPC protocol to avoid [1]. To simulate VM CPU utilization I used stress tool [2]. Testing steps: 1. Create a VM with the same number of CPUs as Host 2. Create CPU type QoS in DC and set the limit to desired value 3. In Cluster create new CPU profile with above QoS and remove the default CPU profile 4. Start the VM and execute (N is a number of CPUs in VM) stress --cpu N 5. Connect to Host and execute sar -u 1 10 No matter what the limit was set to (1, 50, 100), host CPUs were always utilized to 100%. So I create bug to cover this [3].

OVIRT-3.5-TEST-DAY-3: replace XML-rpc with JSON-rpc
by Francesco Romani 18 Sep '14

18 Sep '14

Hi everyone of this test day I played with the new JSON-rpc transport, which is enabled by default. I set up from scratch two hypervisors running on RHEL 6.5, while Engine was running on F19. I created everything from scratch and tested all the flows I known good enough, including less-then-common stuff. The list includes creating storage domains, VMs, hotplug/unplug disks, snapshots, migration, hibernation and dehibernation. On top of that, I prepared an environment to run more tests, that included create 200 VMs, started/stopped 100 of them to test. I kept an eye on the logs other than Engine. Everything I tried went OK, and logs look good to me. I run in a few hiccups, which I mention for the sake of completeness: - VDSM refused to start or run VMs initially: libvirt config included relics from past environment on the same box, not JSON-rpc fault. Fixed with new config and (later) a reboot. - Trying recovery, Engine took longer than expected to sync up with VDSM. I have not hard data and feeling is not enough to file a BZ, so I didn't. - Still trying recovery, one and just one time Engine had stale data from VDSM (reported two VMs as present which actually aren't). Not sure it was related to JSON-rpc, can't reproduce, so not filed a BZ. Since I need to continue profiling anyway (better late than never I guess), I include a couple of test to see if JSON-rpc makes any difference to JSON-rpc. Results will be posted on devel(a)ovirt.org and/or on the oVirt wiki. -- Francesco Romani RedHat Engineering Virtualization R & D Phone: 8261328 IRC: fromani

OVIRT-3.5-TEST-DAY-3: backup/restore and disaster recovery
by Simone Tiraboschi 17 Sep '14

17 Sep '14

Hi, today I had to test how to recover a broken system using backup/restore tool [1] or disaster recovery procedure [2]. Unfortunately I really had a lot of troubles just trying to setup my test environment so no good news on that side. I was using two host: one for the engine, the other as an hypervisor. Both with latest fedora 19 updates. For a fault of mine I add oVirt 3.5 RC2 repository on the engine host but I forgot to do the same on the second host and it generates a lot of problems. I installed the ovirt engine, release 3.5 RC2, on the first host and from the web admin UI I was trying to add the second host. I discovered that using jsonrpc mode it doesn't check/enforce or at least advice about cluster compatibility level failing silently. I opened a bug for that [3]. Than I start using xmlrpc mode that suggested me to downgrade the cluster compatibility mode to 3.3; I did that but it still failed adding my host apparently due to SELinux or Gluster errors; I opened a bug also for that [4]. So I understood that I forgot to add oVirt 3.5 repo on the second host; I opened a bug against host-deploy with install rpms but doesn't handle RPM repos. On my opinion it would make the setup more user friendly or at least more controllable for us [5]. So I added the yum repository and I tried again; I noticed that host-deploy upgrades vdsm stuff but it wasn't enough to get 3.5 compatibility level so, investigating it a bit, I noticed that host-deploy upgrades vdsm stuff but completely ignores libvirt one generating a nonworking setup; I opened a bug also for that [6]. At the end, after manually upgrade libvirt rpms I was able to add my host. Than I briefly tested backup/restore and disaster recovery procedures which seam to work as expected. So, at the end, on my opinion we have still to work a bit more to make the setup more user friendly.

oVirt Engine Virtual Appliance for 3.5 is ready for testing
by Fabian Deutsch 17 Sep '14

17 Sep '14

Hello! The ready-to-use Engine appliance is now building again and should contain the the latest and greatest 3.5rc2 packages. That appliance can be used for testing hosted engine, as well as testing oVirt Engine 3.5 in general. The ova (intended to be used with hosted engine setup) and the qcow2 (intended to be used for testing) images can be found here: http://jenkins.ovirt.org/view/All/job/ovirt-appliance_master_merged/ All relevant packages are pre-installed, but the appliance still needs to be configured. To configure the appliance you need to run: $ engine-setup --offline --config-append=ovirt-engine-answers inside the appliance after downloading it. Please let us know if you have any issues. Greetings fabian

GWT :: pretty CSS option now part of draft mode
by Vojtech Szocs 16 Sep '14

16 Sep '14

Hi, with patch [1] merged to master, enabling "pretty" (non-obfuscated) CSS for GWT applications can now be done simply by activating draft mode: $ make clean install-dev [usual makefile options] DEV_BUILD_GWT_DRAFT="1" Previously, developers had to mess with DEV_EXTRA_BUILD_FLAGS [2] but this is no longer necessary -- just use draft mode and you're all set. Frontend debug wiki http://www.ovirt.org/DebugFrontend was updated to reflect this change. Regards, Vojtech [1] http://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/c/31342/ [2] DEV_EXTRA_BUILD_FLAGS="-Dgwt.cssResourceStyle=pretty"

[RFC] Release process
by Sandro Bonazzola 15 Sep '14

15 Sep '14

Hi, while we're near to release 3.5.0 I would like to start the discussion on the release process for 3.5.z and 3.6.0. The reference page for the release process has been last updated 2 years ago and is not reflecting the way we're managing the releases anymore. In order to start the discussion here's what we are currently doing: = oVirt maintenance releases = * After a new 3.y.0 release, maintenance releases are scheduled every month until a new 3.y+1.0 release is published. * After first 3.y.0 release candidate is published a new release management wiki page is created (see http://www.ovirt.org/OVirt_3.4.z_release-management) * For each 3.y.z release, the release management page is updated ** Defining the schedule for RC and GA date ** Pointing to the new release note page to be created (see http://www.ovirt.org/OVirt_3.4.4_Release_Notes) ** Pointing to a testing page to be created (see http://www.ovirt.org/Testing/oVirt_3.4.4_Testing) ** Pointing to a blocker bug to be created (see http://bugzilla.redhat.com/1118689) * Weekly status email are sent to users and devel lists * QA page is updated with pointers to the new release (see http://www.ovirt.org/OVirt_Quality_Assurance) * Release manager update the release notes pages starting from RC Usually RC date is scheduled one week before GA. RC releases are created by taking the latest nightly snapshot available after verifying that the build passes basic sanity test and repository closure. A new stabilization branch is created with the same git hash used for building the snapshot. Between RC and GA release criteria are tested on the RC and if the release met the criteria a GA release will be built just updating the versioning code to drop master, git hash and timestamp suffix from tarballs and rpms. A new RC will be created and GA postponed by one week if release criteria are not met. = oVirt Release Process = * After a new 3.y.0 release, a new 3.y+1.0 release is tentatively scheduled after 6 months. * A new release management page is created (see http://www.ovirt.org/OVirt_3.5_release-management) * A new tracker bug is created (see http://bugzilla.redhat.com/1073943) * A discussion is started on devel and users mailing list gathering idea for next release features * Teams prepare a list of accepted features collecting / creating bug tracker, devel owner, qa owner, feature page for each of them * Several presentations are scheduled by the teams presenting the accepted features * An alpha release is scheduled 4 months before GA * Feature freeze is scheduled 3 months before GA * A beta release is scheduled 2 months before GA, git tree is branched for stabilization * A release candidate is scheduled 1 month before GA * Weekly status email are sent starting 3 weeks before alpha release. * Test days are scheduled after every milestone release * Release manager update the release notes pages starting from Alpha All milestones releases are created by taking the latest nightly snapshot available after verifying that the build passes basic sanity test and repository closure. RC will be postponed until all known blockers are fixed Between RC and GA release criteria are tested on the RC and if the release met the criteria a GA release will be built just updating the versioning code to drop master, git hash and timestamp suffix from tarballs and rpms. A new RC will be created and GA postponed by one week if release criteria are not met. [[Category:Release management]] What I think we're missing / doing wrong: * A discussion about release criteria *after* accepted features list is ready * A clear schedule like http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/21/Schedule * A clear feature freeze policy like https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes_Freeze_Policy * A clear policy about changes we must allow and not allow between RC and GA * Alpha release should come after feature freeze * A string freeze schedule, allowing translators to have enough time to translate new strings * Maintainers should pay more attention to release notes and test day pages -- Sandro Bonazzola Better technology.
