Fwd: [CentOS-devel] Point-release Freeze is Active
by Sandro Bonazzola 02 Nov '18

02 Nov '18

FYI. This shouldn't affect directly oVirt 4.2.7 but further updates to oVIrt deps will need to wait till CentOS 7.6 will be out. ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Brian Stinson <brian(a)bstinson.com> Date: gio 1 nov 2018 alle ore 16:29 Subject: [CentOS-devel] Point-release Freeze is Active To: <centos-devel(a)centos.org> Hi Folks, As is usual, we freeze the SIG Sign + Push process as part of preparing for a point release. This helps us once CR is ready (it isn't yet, though) so that we can seed it quickly in CBS to build against. The Point-release Freeze does not affect content moving from the testing tags in CBS to buildlogs.c.o, that will continue to show up as it is built. Do note: since we do want to give testers and developers an opportunity to build and test against an upcoming point-release before it goes GA, content coming from buildlogs.centos.org may require enabling the CR repo once it's ready. Any new requests for sign+push (adding new tags to mirror.c.o) during Point-release Freeze will be held until the point release goes GA. If there are any questions, please let us know and discuss here on the list. Cheers! -- Brian Stinson _______________________________________________ CentOS-devel mailing list CentOS-devel(a)centos.org https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-devel -- SANDRO BONAZZOLA MANAGER, SOFTWARE ENGINEERING, EMEA R&D RHV Red Hat EMEA <https://www.redhat.com/> sbonazzo(a)redhat.com <https://red.ht/sig>

Fwd: Fedora 30 System-Wide Change: Deprecating /etc/sysconfig/nfs
by Sandro Bonazzola 01 Nov '18

01 Nov '18

FYI ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Ben Cotton <bcotton(a)redhat.com> Date: mer 17 ott 2018 alle ore 15:29 Subject: Fedora 30 System-Wide Change: Deprecating /etc/sysconfig/nfs To: <devel(a)lists.fedoraproject.org>, <devel-announce(a)lists.fedoraproject.org > https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/nfs.conf == Summary == Deprecate /etc/sysconfig/nfs and only use /etc/nfs.conf to configure NFS daemons. == Owner == * Name: Steve Dickson * Email: steved(a)redhat.com == Detailed Description == Since the beginning /etc/sysconfig/nfs has been used to configure the NFS server daemons by supply command line arguments to the daemons or commands via SysVinit scripts. Then systemd(1) came along and the idea of daemons self-configuration was started. Meaning daemons and commands would get their configurations from a file, not the command line like with SysVinit scripts. Back in late 2016, Neil Brown from SuSe, implemented this changed. He built into each daemon the ability to read from one central file, /etc/nfs.conf. See nfs.conf(5) for details. After this work made it upstream, I a wrote patch that added back the ability to use /etc/sysconfig/nfs to maintain backwards compatibility which has lasted for the last few Fedora releases. I think at this point, the timing is right to introduce this single file configuration to Fedora 30. == Benefit to Fedora == * Having a single file configuration will help IT automation systems like Ansible configure NFS servers. * This change also simplifies the systemd scrips. * Having two ways of configuring NFS is not desirable. The only reason there has been no problems is because nobody know about /etc/nfs.conf * There is a new command, nfsconf(8), that checks the correctness of /etc/nfs.conf == Scope == * Proposal owners: Steve Dickson <steved(a)redhat.com> * Other developers: Justin Mitchell <jumitche(a)redhat.com> * Release engineering: [https://pagure.io/releng/issue/7864 #7864 F30: Deprecating /etc/sysconfig/nfs] ** List of deliverables: nfs-utils-2.3.3-1.fc30 * Policies and guidelines: The guidelines to use /etc/nfs.conf are already being install with nfs.conf(5) and nfsconf(8) manpages * Trademark approval: No trademarks are being changed so no approval is needed. == Upgrade/compatibility impact == In [https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1619270 BZ1619270] a python script that will convert a sysconfig/nfs config into nfs.conf config. There are a couple thoughts on how to use it. On clean installs, when sysconfig/nfs does not exist, sysconfig/nfs wil still be installed with directions to use nfs.conf to do the configuration. When sysconfig/nfs does exist, the configuration will '''not''' be overwritten, but the systemd scripts will not use the file to configure NFS. The two thoughts on how to use python script: # Have the upgrade run the script and maybe throw out a message that the configuration has now been moved to nfs.conf # Throw a message indicating the NFS configuration has changed and then have the admin run the script The first thought is probably the cleanest but changing configurations behind admin's back is not very nice... I am very open on how to use this script. == How To Test == With the new nfsconf(8) command, the nfs.conf can be tested for correctness, other than that, we should do the same testing as we do today == User Experience == After the initial shock, I think users will embrace the new configuration. Being able to configure NFS via IT automation systems (aka Ansible) is a step in the right direction. Having a command to check the correctness of the configuration will be welcome. == Dependencies == There are no dependencies that I know of. == Contingency Plan == * Contingency mechanism: Revert the commit that removed support for /etc/sysconfig/nfs. * Contingency deadline: 2019-03-05 (Beta Freeze) * Blocks release? No * Blocks product? No == Documentation == There are two man pages, nfs.conf(5) and nfsconf(8). == Release Notes == The new way of configuring NFS should be release noted. -- Ben Cotton Fedora Program Manager TZ=America/Indiana/Indianapolis _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel(a)lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave(a)lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org -- SANDRO BONAZZOLA MANAGER, SOFTWARE ENGINEERING, EMEA R&D RHV Red Hat EMEA <https://www.redhat.com/> sbonazzo(a)redhat.com <https://red.ht/sig> <https://www.redhat.com/en/events/red-hat-open-source-day-italia?sc_cid=701f…>

Decipher traffic between ovirt-engine and ovirt-node (vdsm)
by Anastasiya Ruzhanskaya 29 Oct '18

29 Oct '18

Hello! I was successful in deciphering the traffic between the client and ovirt-engine, actually, only by dumping the premaster key from the browser, which was generated during the session and providing it to wireshark. How it can be done for ovirt-engine and vdsm communication? Should the engine private key be provided? Actually to my surprise I don't see any ssl communication between engine and node when for example turn on the virtual machine, only tcp packets. But this page https://ovirt.org/develop/release-management/features/infra/pki/ states that there should be one. And also should I look for any xml rpc dissector? I know that for example virt-manager uses rpc protocol, I found a dissector for that case, but seems I need another one here.

ovirt engine certificate password
by Anastasiya Ruzhanskaya 28 Oct '18

28 Oct '18

Hello everyone! I am trying to analyze traffic between ovirt-engine and vdsm. First strange thing is, that it should be encrypted by default . When I listen in wireshark for message from engine to vdsm being on the engine machine, the traffic is not encrypted. It is only tcp. I expect it then be acceptable for wireshark json dissector. But this is not a json. Is this a normal situation or I should set up encryption by myself? However, on the guest machine, I see in wireshark that the traffic between engine and vdsm is encrypted. ( I have a configuration of my computer as a client and two VMs as engine and node). So , I am trying to use engine's private key to decrypt it. The private key is not engine_id_rsa (am I right?), but it is hidden inside .p12 file. To extract the key from this file I need a password. During the ovirt installing I didn't set up any password for this. Is this maybe a default one? How can I extract a private key? So, the final questions are: 1) Should the traffic between engine and vdsm be encrypted by default? 2) How the private key for engine can be extracted?

Conflicting ovs-2.10 and dpdk libraries
by Miguel Duarte de Mora Barroso 26 Oct '18

26 Oct '18

Hello all, I've seen many of you reach this same problem over the last week when updating ovirt-engine - or node - to the 4.3 candidate. The following is an excerpt of the error: -> Finished Dependency Resolution Error: Package: 1:openvswitch-ovn-common-2.10.0-1.el7.x86_64 (centos-ovirt43-testing) Requires: librte_pmd_mlx4.so.1()(64bit) Available: dpdk-17.11-13.el7.x86_64 (rhel-7.6-extras) librte_pmd_mlx4.so.1()(64bit) Installed: 2:dpdk-17.11-3.el7.x86_64 (@centos-ovirt43-testing) Not found Error: Package: 1:openvswitch-ovn-common-2.10.0-1.el7.x86_64 (centos-ovirt43-testing) Requires: librte_power.so.1()(64bit) Available: dpdk-17.11-13.el7.x86_64 (rhel-7.6-extras) librte_power.so.1()(64bit) Installed: 2:dpdk-17.11-3.el7.x86_64 (@centos-ovirt43-testing) Not found Error: Package: 1:openvswitch-ovn-common-2.10.0-1.el7.x86_64 (centos-ovirt43-testing) Requires: librte_pmd_mlx5.so.1()(64bit) Available: dpdk-17.11-13.el7.x86_64 (rhel-7.6-extras) librte_pmd_mlx5.so.1()(64bit) Installed: 2:dpdk-17.11-3.el7.x86_64 (@centos-ovirt43-testing) Not found ... Should you stumble into this situation, remove the currently installed dpdk version (yum remove "dpdk*") then install it again - this time assuring it is installed from the extras repo. After that, installation should proceed smoothly. Regards, Miguel

Parsing gwt rpc messages
by Anastasiya Ruzhanskaya 24 Oct '18

24 Oct '18

Hello everyone! I am trying to determine how the person who knows for example all necessary function calls and parameters can determine the content of the message sent. This is an example of the message I am trying to parse (I already separated it on some meaningful parts), numbers in braces just help to make correspondence between payload and strings: 7| 0| 14| (1)https://engine.localdomain/ovirt-engine/webadmin/| //URL (2)E8B2AD24442204349EF795039C3B87E5| // policy name (3)org.ovirt.engine.ui.frontend.gwtservices.GenericApiGWTService| service interface (4)runMultipleActions| name of the method (5)org.ovirt.engine.core.common.action.ActionType/12242454|, (6)java.util.ArrayList/4159755760|, (7)Z| ( two times)) // bool type (8)org.ovirt.engine.core.common.action.ShutdownVmParameters/1694554255| (9)org.ovirt.engine.core.compat.Guid/1992968158| (10)java.util.UUID/2940008275| (11)org.ovirt.engine.core.common.action.ActionParametersBase$EndProcedure/1568822488| (12)java.util.Collections$EmptyMap/4174664486| (13)org.ovirt.engine.core.common.businessentities.VDSStatus/1938301532| (14)org.ovirt.engine.core.compat.TransactionScopeOption/1475850853| (the following is the payload separated and commented in places where I can understand it) 1| 2| 3| 4| 4|- 4 method parameters 5|- first type = ActionType 6|- second type = arraylist 7|- third type = boolean 7|- fourth type = boolean 5(actionType)|9 (shutdown)| 6(arrayList)|1(??)| 8 (shutdown vm parameters, list object)|1|0|0|0|(??) 9 (guid, ?)|10(UUID)|J$m4mk9wVi3|MjeP460Xkpb (vm uuid)|0|5|0|0|0|11|1|0|6|0|0|0|0|0|0|12|0|-6|13|0|1|0|1|14|2|0|0|0|0|0| Until vm uuid parameter it is kind of clear what is happening, but I still wonder what do the parameters 1 and 0 mean in places marked as (??). I understand, that there is a method called runMultipleActions and it has four parameters. I found in source examples of calling this method (ovirt-engine/frontend/webadmin/modules/./frontend/src/test/java/org/ovirt/engine/ui/frontend/FrontendActionTest.java).Then I determine types of these parameters. Then the type of action performed ( I shut down the machine). Then there should be an ArrayList, which contains several objects. I assume that 8(shutdown vm parameters) should follow right after 6 (arraylist), but there a "1" which I can't explain. Also for shutdown parameters: I see in examples that there are not so many boolean parameters in constructor there. Here are four! (1|0|0|0) What do they mean? And how can I cope with the left payload? Thank you in advance for any help! P.S. Also vm ids have another format when for example I do the same actions from web - ui: c8de3f8e-b45e-4a5b-9fa6-e2693dc158b7. Why this is so?
