Hi and just wanted to say love oVirt. =

I’m using oVirt 3.5 on Fedora20 to help with= a=3D re devel/testing needs. Are software runs on top of Linux both in Intel and= =3D ARM platforms. While oVirt can handle very well the intel side of th= =3D ings I still need to run everything on ARM on real hardware. What I’m wondering is there a plan to support at leas= =3D t ARM emulation using QEMU now libVirt has been fixed.

Thank

Chapman….

I can't say there is a real plan to do so at this point, but it = shouldn't block you from writing a custom hook changing the xml we pass = to libvirt to envoke qemu-kvm with arm instead of qemu-kvm. you can (ab)use maybe some existing behaviors/properties, as well as add = more of your own via custom properties (and for fancy - custom ui = plugins to show those custom properties in the proper dialogs) I'd say that's a good start to adding such support as an add-on, before = considering it in the main code base. that's actually how we sometime develop a new feature - first "try it = for sanity" via a custom hook to understand its scope and the issues. --===============0846088485094793245==-- From richard.chapman at ipe-systems.co.uk Mon Dec 15 06:36:11 2014 Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="===============6752269690437108893==" MIME-Version: 1.0 From: Richard Chapman To: devel at ovirt.org Subject: Re: [ovirt-devel] Question about emulating ARM using oVirt Date: Mon, 15 Dec 2014 11:37:02 +0000 Message-ID: In-Reply-To: 548AE8EC.1070905@redhat.com --===============6752269690437108893== Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8" MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Thank for the pointers I'll try it over xmas :) Chapman.... -----Original Message----- From: Itamar Heim [mailto:iheim(a)redhat.com] = Sent: 12 December 2014 13:09 To: Richard Chapman; Devel(a)ovirt.org Cc: Michal Skrivanek; Dan Kenigsberg; Scott Herold; Barak Azulay Subject: Re: [ovirt-devel] Question about emulating ARM using oVirt On 12/11/2014 06:16 AM, Richard Chapman wrote: > Hi and just wanted to say love oVirt. > > I'm using oVirt 3.5 on Fedora20 to help with are devel/testing needs. > Are software runs on top of Linux both in Intel and ARM platforms. > While oVirt can handle very well the intel side of things I still need = > to run everything on ARM on real hardware.
