Entity names in DB scripts
by Yair Zaslavsky 12 Jun '14

12 Jun '14

Hi all, I have a feeling there is some inconsistency in using entity names in the DB scripts. For example, should we use Host or VDS? I am not talking about existing tables or columns but about new ones (and new stored procedures). I am quite sure I saw patches containing both approaches. Yair

[ANN] oVirt 3.4.2 Release is now available
by Sandro Bonazzola 10 Jun '14

10 Jun '14

The oVirt development team is pleased to announce the general availability of oVirt 3.4.2 as of Jun 10th 2014. This release solidifies oVirt as a leading KVM management application and open source alternative to VMware vSphere. oVirt is available now for Fedora 19 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.5 (or similar). This release of oVirt includes numerous bug fixes. See the release notes [1] for a list of the new features and bugs fixed. The existing repository ovirt-3.4 has been updated for delivering this release without the need of enabling any other repository, however since we introduced package signing you need an additional step in order to get the public keys installed on your system if you're upgrading from an older release. Please refer to release notes [1] for Installation / Upgrade instructions. Please note that mirrors will need a couple of days before being synchronized. If you want to be sure to use latest rpms and don't want to wait for the mirrors, you can edit /etc/yum.repos.d/ovirt-3.4.repo commenting the mirror line and removing the comment on baseurl line. A new oVirt Node and oVirt Live ISO will be available soon[2]. [1] http://www.ovirt.org/OVirt_3.4.2_Release_Notes [2] http://resources.ovirt.org/plain/pub/ovirt-3.4/iso/ -- Sandro Bonazzola Better technology. Faster innovation.

Gamification session :: summary (June 9, 2014)
by Vojtech Szocs 09 Jun '14

09 Jun '14

Hi guys, following is a summary of today's Gamification session. More details can be found on Gamification etherpad [1]. * Eyal gave an overview of oVirt Gamification initiative and its projects * Vojtech went really quickly through Space Shooter UI plugin * Vojtech walked through main parts of ProgressBar UI plugin source code Next action items: - implement service to retrieve "event" info from Engine - implement service to load achievement definitions and compare them with "event" info - modify main tab to show real data (instead of dummy data) - achievement categories and their respective progress - list of achievements, visually distinguished by their status (completed/locked/etc.) Future action items: - use Grunt to automate common development & build tasks - provide "badges" (round icons) for different achievements -- any volunteers? :) - think of logical scenarios (levels) that group multiple achievements * YamakasY pointed out that it would be nice to have better integration for popular frameworks like AngularJS, establishing common development tools/libraries, sharing knowledge and experience with others Feel free to add anything I might have missed :) [1] http://etherpad.ovirt.org/p/gamification Regards, Vojtech

NUMA-support oVirt scheduler intergation design
by Gilad Chaplik 08 Jun '14

08 Jun '14

Hi List, This is the design for NUMA-support oVirt Scheduler integration; I'll add 3 policy unit modules (#) as described in following document: (1) Filter Module: NUMA_HostFilter: If the VM has NUMA vNodes/pinning configured, and the rule can't be accommodated on the host, it'd filtered. NOTES: * pin2host filter should make sure the filter gets a single host. the filter should be transparent to specific hosts. * not sure we'll want to add this filter in first phase to all cluster/scheduling policies; @Doron? Weights Modules: (2) even_dest_NUMA Should "even distribute" weights (scores) according to: * Available memory on nodes * Numatune memory mode (strict/preferred/interleave) * Autonuma/pinned NUMA (3) power_saving_NUMA (added to power_saving cluster/scheduling policy) * same as even_dest_NUMA with opposite weights. I'd appreciate any comment or suggestion. Once approved by you, I'll update the feature page and upload a patch for review. Thanks, Gilad.

GetCaps for jsonrpc
by Piotr Kliczewski 08 Jun '14

08 Jun '14

Hi all, I would like to see whether there are any suggestions how we can provide information like: - lastClient - lastClientIface - network interface on which client connected In the code prior to jsonrpc changes every time new request (new connection) was received clientIF threadLocal was updated with client information. This code was implemented in xml binding and now we need to provide similar information for jsonrpc. There is difference that we keep connection open for jsonrpc so we can't provide behavior as described above. We can update client information when connection is established. Is that OK or are there any suggestions how to update this information? Thanks, Piotr
