Engine on Fedora 21
by Adam Litke 18 Feb '15

18 Feb '15

Hi all, Today I tried running engine on my Fedora 21 laptop. I tried two approaches for deploying jboss: using the ovirt-jboss-as package, and by downloading and unpacking jboss-7.1.1 into /usr/share as I have done in the past. engine-setup runs without errors but when I try to start engine the application does not seem to deploy in jboss and there are no errors reported (engine.log is empty). Is there a reasonable expectation that I should be able to get this working on F21 or am I wasting my time? Does anyone have any ideas on how I can resolve the startup issues? See logs attached... -- Adam Litke

Using travis yaml files to specify dependencies and tests
by David Caro 03 Feb '15

03 Feb '15

--oLBj+sq0vYjzfsbl Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Hi everyone! After talking a bit with some of you, I think that we can start planning a common build and dependency declaration for tests for the ovirt products, to improve and automate most of the ci process and maintenance. Current status: =3D=3D Dependencies Right now we have 4 types of dependencies: * test dependencies * tarball/srcrpm build dependencies * rpm build dependencies * installation dependencies The last two are managed from the spec files through rpm/yum dependency systems. But the first ones are managed manually on the jobs on jenkins or puppet manifests. What separates it from the code that actually requires them and adds an extra layer of maintenance and synchronization between the code, the jenkins jobs and the puppet repository. =3D=3D Builds We started using autotools to build most of the projects, but it's not a global methodology and even being used on some projects, you need to tune the run for each of them, specifying different variables and running some side scripts. =3D=3D Tests Some projects use make check to run some of the tests, some tests are totally outside the code and run only in jenkins jobs. Some possible improvements: =3D=3D Tests/builds Using shell scripts: We talked before in another thread to create some generic script to build the artifacts for the product and to run the tests, namely we talked about having 3 executables (bash scripts probably) at the root of each project, that should not require any parameters: ./build-artifacts This should generate any artifacts to be archives (isos, rpms, debs, tarballs, ...) and leave them at ./exported-artifacts/ directory, for the build system to collect, removing any previous artifacts if needed. ./check_patch Runs all the tests required for any new patchset in gerrit, for non-merged changes, should be fast to run to get feedback easily ./check_merge Runs all the tests for any change that is going to be merged (right now we are not using gates, so it actually after merge, but the idea is to use this as gate for any merge to the repo). This can be more resource hungry than check_path. That way it will let you use easily any framework that you want to use for your project, but still let it be easy to maintain in the global ci/build system (you can use pip, tox, maven, gradle, autotools, make, rake, ...). This will not allow at first running tests in parallel in jenkins, but we can in the future add that possibility (for example, allowing the user to define more than one check script, like check_patch.mytest1 and check_patch.mytest2 and make jenkins run them in parallel). I started a POC of this process here [1] Using travis yaml files: Using a travis compliant yaml file [2]. That will be less flexible than the above solution and will not allow you to run tests in parallel, though it will let you use travis at any point to offload our ci if needed. =3D=3D Dependencies Using plain text files: Similar to the above scripts solution, I though of adding an extra file, with the same name, to declare the dependencies to run that script. Adding a suffix in case of different requirements for different distros (matching facter fact strings), for example: ./build-artifacts.req Main requirements file, used if no more specific one found. With a newline separated list of packages to install on the environment (jenkins will take care of which package manager to use). ./build-artifacts.req.fc20 Specific requirements for fc20 environment, replaces the general one if present. And the same for the other scripts (check_patch and check_merge). Using travis yaml file: Using a travis compliant yaml file with some extensions to declare the different dependencies for each type and os/distro. That will allow you to have only one extra file in your repo, though you'd have to duplicate some of the requirements as travis only has ubuntu and forces you to run scripts to install dependencies. What do you think? Do you have any better idea? ps. About using an external repository to store the scripts/requirements for the code. The issue with this is that it forces you to bind a code change in the code repo, to a script/dependency change in the scripts repo, and that adds a lot of extra maintenance and source of issues and failures. If you know a way of doing it like that without all the fuss, I'd love to hear it. For example, imagine that you have vdsm and the dependencies are in another repo, now you send a patch to vdsm that requires you to run a specific pep8 version to pass the patch tests, so you have to change the script repo to add that dependency, but doing that you will brake all the other patches tests because they require the older pep8 version, so you have to somehow specify in the vdsm patch that you require a specific commit from the scripts repo to be tested with... Having both in the same repo, allows you to do the code change and the dependency/script change in the same patchset, and test it right away with the correct scripts/deps. It also binds together code and tests to some point, what is nice to have in a product view, because you know for each version which tests it passed and have a better idea of the possible failures for that version.

CORS enabled for oVirt REST API
by Jenny Kang 02 Feb '15

02 Feb '15

Hello, As part of my OPW project, I'm trying to build a mobile web UI for oVirt but I'm having some troubles. I cannot access the oVirt REST API because it doesn't allow cross origin resource sharing (CORS). The only way to access the API is to host the UI on the same IP as the engine. If it is enabled then people would be able to run the mobile UI directly from the desktop without hosting it anywhere. Do you have any suggestions on how to access oVirt REST API from another host inside the browser? Any plans on enabling CORS on the REST API? Thank you! Cheers Jenny

oVirt 3.6 Feature: Cumulative Network Usage Statistics
by Lior Vernia 01 Feb '15

01 Feb '15

Hello users and developers, Just put up a feature page for the aforementioned feature; in summary, to report total RX/TX statistics for hosts and VMs in oVirt. This has been requested several times on the users mailing list, and is especially useful for accounting in VDI deployments. You're more than welcome to review the feature page: http://www.ovirt.org/Features/Cumulative_RX_TX_Statistics Note that this only deals with network usage - it'll be great if we have similar features for CPU and disk usage! Yours, Lior.

[DB] Diffrent UUIDs for inserted data per installation
by Eli Mesika 29 Jan '15

29 Jan '15

Hi I am trying to cleanup all the data insertion to the engine DB and make it more general The main drive to that is DB version squashing that was done manually and therefor was error prone ... I know that both storage_pool_id (a.k.a DC) and vds_group_id (a.k.a Cluster) needs to get a different UUID per installation. But I had found that UUIDs are generated per installation for also : table | column/s ------------------------------------ [cpu_profiles] : id [gluster_services] : id [mac_pools] : id [permissions] : id, object_id [vm_device]: device_id, vm_id [vm_static] : vm_guid [vnic_profiles] : id Please let me know if any of the above should be generated using the uuid_generate_v1() function on each installation or we can have static IDs for those. Thanks Eli Mesika

Move bugs to ON_QA based on snapshot builds?
by Lior Vernia 28 Jan '15

28 Jan '15

Hello everyone, I wanted to suggest that we automate the change of oVirt 3.6 bug status from MODIFIED to ON_QA based on nightly snapshot builds. The motivation should be clear: when bugs are fixed on the master branch, the fix becomes readily available for verification as soon as the next snapshot is built (and there's indeed someone to verify on the master branch - the same person who was working on the master branch and opened the bug!). We currently only move them to ON_QA on milestone builds (e.g. alpha, beta), but I don't think that's right for an open source project - the status of bugs (targeted to the nearest release) should be up-to-date with the actual state of the master branch. We've encountered the problem testing features for 3.6 the last couple of weeks, and since it's gonna be a long version this situation will likely occur often. So far I've been moving bugs to ON_QA myself, but I don't really want to follow the snapshot builds manually (nor move the bugs to ON_QA as soon as they're merged, in case the snapshot build doesn't happen). The downside would be that bugs could be VERIFIED at an early point in the development, and later regressions could occur that would render the verification obsolete. But this could happen just the same between release milestones... Thoughts? Yours, Lior.

UI plugin REST API small update
by Vojtech Szocs 20 Jan '15

20 Jan '15

Hi guys, just a small update, two patches for UI plugin REST API integration [1,2] landed into master branch recently: * fixing "UI won't auto-logout due to user inactivity" issue: REST session keep-alive requests are now sent only if there was an operation (action/query) that refreshed Engine session * setting REST session timeout to 2 x UserSessionTimeOutInterval: this to ensure that REST session is always alive as long as the Engine session is alive, see Einav's detailed gerrit comment [2] (Jan 9 5:43 PM) for detailed explanation [1] http://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/c/36622/ [2] http://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/c/36737/ TL;DR - REST session for UI plugins should work as expected; as long as the user is logged in, all UI plugins should be able to utilize provided REST session.

Number of VFs in oVirt SR-IOV
by Martin Polednik 19 Jan '15

19 Jan '15

Hello, Since dealing with SR-IOV, we've discovered the need to persist number of virtual functions for given virtual functions. The need is actually split into 2 parts: setting the number and persisting it. Our talks have pointed to 5 choices in persistence mechanisms: * let engine set the number when host becomes operational * implement mechanism in systemd/udev * create udev rule set * persist them inside VDSM * or actually let the system administrator handle this All of these choices except for the last still need the engine to do the initial set-up. I would like to hear your opinion on persistence mechanism and splitting the choice of mechanism and means of set-up. Since persistence is currently mostly required by networking team, I propose that [1] would be accepted as the means of set-up and in future, network team would figure out and implement their preferred way of persistence.

Updated Engine build options
by Vojtech Szocs 16 Jan '15

16 Jan '15

Hi guys, patch http://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/c/36739/ just landed in master branch. It adds two new Makefile variables: # Maven JVM options. BUILD_JAVA_OPTS_MAVEN # GWT compiler & DevMode JVM options. BUILD_JAVA_OPTS_GWT Use BUILD_JAVA_OPTS_MAVEN to specify JVM arguments for main "mvn" command. Default value is "-XX:MaxPermSize=512M" which should be OK for most cases. Use BUILD_JAVA_OPTS_GWT to specify JVM arguments for GWT compiler & DevMode. Default value is "" which translates into following fallback value: # gwt.jvmArgs fallback in frontend/webadmin/modules/pom.xml -Xms1024M -Xmx8192M -XX:PermSize=512M -XX:MaxPermSize=1024M Custom BUILD_JAVA_OPTS_GWT (non-empty string) value will be translated into -Dgwt.jvmArgs="..." when invoking main "mvn" command. TL;DR Engine build should work without any JVM argument tuning as before. If you're running into "java.lang.OutOfMemoryError" during the build, we suggest to limit max. simultaneous GWT permutation worker threads to 1 and tune GWT compiler JVM arguments according to your system: $ export BUILD_JAVA_OPTS_MAVEN="-XX:MaxPermSize=512M -Dgwt.compiler.localWorkers=1" $ export BUILD_JAVA_OPTS_GWT="-Xms1024M -Xmx4096M -XX:MaxPermSize=1024M" Regards, Vojtech

[RFC] oVirt mobile client
by Greg Sheremeta 15 Jan '15

15 Jan '15

Hi, The focus of our OPW internship program starting in December will be mobile and/or lightweight engine clients -- hopefully integrating the new ovirt.js project. I see that there are some already existing mobile clients for oVirt. I'm trying to grasp what we have and what the needs are. moVirt: https://github.com/matobet/moVirt (mbetak) This appears to be more of a lightweight webadmin. No console access, but I believe it's planned as part of OPW. (?) nomad: http://www.ovirt.org/Project_Proposal_-_Nomad and https://github.com/Vizuri/ovirt-nomad Looks dead -- last commit 3 years ago. Anyone know more about this one? That's all I see on the first few pages of google. When I think of a mobile client for oVirt, I think the most useful part would be the user portal -- simple operations for start, stop, and the ability to view the console of vms. moVirt mentions it wants to support some basic management operations, though. I think it would be difficult to do complex management in a mobile client. (I'm biased towards huge screens, though.) I'd like to see an official subproject started that coordinates our mobile efforts. Is this possible? What would it take to start it? What would people like to see in such an app?

Request for new git repos: ovirt-engine-sdk-python-specs, ovirt-engine-sdk-java-specs, ovirt-engine-cli-specs
by Juan Hernández 12 Jan '15

12 Jan '15

Hello, Please create the following new git repositories: ovirt-engine-sdk-python-specs ovirt-engine-sdk-java-specs ovirt-engine-cli-specs They will be used to manage the RPM spec files (also scripts, patches, and in general anything needed for building RPMs) of the Python SDK, the Java SDK, and the CLI. Each repository will have branches for each pair of oVirt major release and supported distribution: ovirt-3.5-el6 ovirt-3.5-el7 ovirt-3.5-fc20 ovirt-3.5-fc21 ovirt-3.6-el6 ... Initially I will be the maintainer of these repositories. Once these repos are created the specs will be added to them and eventually removed completely from the main repositories of the SDKs and the CLI. Thanks in advance, Juan Hernández -- Dirección Comercial: C/Jose Bardasano Baos, 9, Edif. Gorbea 3, planta 3ºD, 28016 Madrid, Spain Inscrita en el Reg. Mercantil de Madrid – C.I.F.

engine.ear fails on current ovirt-3.5 branch
by Adam Litke 08 Jan '15

Hi all, Back from a long vacation I decided to build a fresh engine from the tip of the ovirt-3.5 branch (447ff7) and to my dismay, the deployed build will not start within jboss.

fyi ovirt-engine\api fails over f19
by ybronhei 07 Jan '15

07 Jan '15

Hey guys, I faced a problem with javax/activation/api which is missing in f19. Therefore /api threw exception and I couldn't have any restapi reply from engine. To workaround with that instead upgrading I removed the dependency from share/ovirt-engine/modules/org/codehaus/jackson/jackson-xc/main/module.xml and it works. till now i haven't noticed anything strange without it..

vdsm to require newer pyflakes on el6
by Dan Kenigsberg 07 Jan '15

07 Jan '15

As mentioned on http://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/c/36434/ , vdsm's `make pyflakes` has been broken so that it gives a false sense of security, as it tests very few modules. During this period, we've acquired code that triggers pyflakes-0.4.0-2.el6.noarch.rpm of epel6. ./vdsm/sos/vdsm.py.in:25: redefinition of unused 'RedHatPlugin' from line 22 ./vdsm/sos/vdsm.py.in:25: redefinition of unused 'Plugin' from line 22 ./vdsm/virt/guestagent.py:144: redefinition of function 'guestDiskMapping' from line 140 vdsm/get-conf-item:11: redefinition of unused 'config' from line 8 vdsm/set-conf-item:13: redefinition of unused 'config' from line 10 make: *** [pyflakes] Error 1 I suggest requiring Vdsm developers to use a newer version of pyflakes, even on el6, such as the one provided by http://danken.fedorapeople.org/pyflakes-0.8.1-3.el6.noarch.rpm as the alternative is to add silly code in order to quiesce an ancient pyflakes. This would server as a stop-gap until we live up to our plan of including pep8 and pyflakes as git submodules, so that all vdsm developers use the same verification tool on all platforms. Dan.
