[Mentor Opportunities] Outreach Program for Women
by Brian Proffitt
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!
Peace,
Brian

[ENGINE] thoughts about LinqUtils
by Yair Zaslavsky
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
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].

Looks like to me too. Lets check with vdsm-devel/ovirt-devel?

OVIRT-3.5-TEST-DAY-3: replace XML-rpc with JSON-rpc
by Francesco Romani
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.

OVIRT-3.5-TEST-DAY-3: backup/restore and disaster recovery
by Simone Tiraboschi
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.
