KVM with RDP using RDPMux for oVirt?
by Neal Gompa
Hello,
At the urging of Sandro Bonazzola, I'm bringing up something that was
being discussed on Twitter earlier today: supporting RDP with KVM
directly.
As it turns out, about four years ago, Datto developed support for
QEMU to display to RDP in a similar fashion to what was done for SPICE
years ago. The way this was done was by patching QEMU[1] to send
buffers to a service called RDPMux[2], which would provide RDP
connections. Additionally, libvirt was adjusted to support this[3].
Now, a couple years ago, I attempted to start rebasing this to QEMU
2.12.0 for my own use[4], but while I was able to make it compile[5],
it always hung when I tried to use the functionality.
This came up on Twitter earlier today when talking about how KVM lacks
RDP but had SPICE (which didn't catch on, and is apparently deprecated
now[6]?!?)
Is anyone interested in potentially helping me get this working with
the latest QEMU and libvirt? I'd be happy to package up RDPMux for
Fedora and get that in the distribution for people to use in that
case...
Best regards,
Neal

Improving VM behavior in case of IO errors
by Shubha Kulkarni
Hello,
In OVirt, we have a property propagate_error at the disk level that
decides in case of an error, how this error be propagated to the VM.
This value is maintained in the database table with the default value
set as Off. The default setting(Off) results in a policy that ends up
pausing the VM rather than propagating the errors to VM. There is no
provision in the UI currently to configure this property for disk
(images or luns). So there is no easy way to set this value. Further,
even if the value is manually set to "On" in db, it gets overwriiten by
UI everytime some other property is updated as described here -
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1669367
Setting the value to "Off" is not ideal for multipath devices where a
single path failure causes vm to pause. It puts serious restrictions for
the DR situation and unlike VMWare * Hyper-V, oVirt is not able to
support the DR functionality -
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1314160
While we wait for RFE, the proposal here is to revise the out of the box
behavior for LUNs. For LUNs, we should propagate the errors to VM rather
than directly stopping those. This will allow us to handle short-term
multipath outages and improve availability. This is a simple change in
behavior but will have good positive impact. I would like to seek
feedback about this to make sure that everyone is ok with the proposal.
Thanks,
Shubha

ovirt-engine 4.4.2 has been branched
by Tal Nisan
I've now branched oVirt 4.4.2, this will allow us to start working on 4.4.3
bugs/features and also maintain the stability of 4.4.2 before the final
build.
How does it affect you:
If you are working on 4.4.3 content you can now submit your work to master
and it will be included in 4.4.3
If you are working on 4.4.2 content you will have to push it to master
first and then backport it to the ovirt-engine-4.4.2.z branch

This is after Michal pushed a patch to restore the removed function
(and related) get_vm0_ip_address, which failed build 1691.
I guess this patch was not enough - either the VM now gets a different
IP address, not 192.168.200.90, or its network is down, or whatever.
Any idea?
Thanks,

This LUN probably has a partition table because it was used as a
direct LUN in a previous
test. You can check this with lsblk.
You need to wipe it manually using "wipefs -a".

Error during deployment of self hosted engine oVirt 4.4
by i iordanov
Hi guys,
I am trying to install oVirt 4.4 for testing of the aSPICE and Opaque
Android clients and tried to follow this slightly outdated doc:
https://www.ovirt.org/documentation/installing_ovirt_as_a_self-hosted_eng...
to deploy an all-in-one self-hosted engine using the command-line.
I started with a clean CentOS 8 installation, set up an NFS server and
tested that mounts work from the local host and other hosts, opened all
ports with firewalld to my LAN and localhost (but left firewalld enabled).
During the run of
hosted-engine --deploy
I got the following error:
