[Engine-devel] ovirt-engine-3.4.0 is broken
by Omer Frenkel 11 Mar '14

11 Mar '14

Hi, looks like both commits: http://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/c/25436/ http://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/c/25313/ introduced an upgrade script with the same number to the 3.4.0 branch, and now build fails. can you please fix this?

--_000_B63C858E777679458338A30A991BB524015C4A99G2W2441americas_ Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Hi All, In order to support NUMA and guest NUMA feature in ovirt. We need per NUMA node CPU usage or per CPU usage related information on eng= ine core. This information will be used for VM who have NUMA aware information and fi= nd the best Host to run it on with best performance. Approach 1: 1. Sample data in vdsm for each CPU stats. (sys, usr, iowait, idle) 2. Calculate the each CPU usage information. (%sys, %usr, %iowait, %id= le) 3. Transport the usage data to engine core. 4. Engine core merge per NUMA node CPU usage. (%sys, %usr, %iowait, %i= dle) Approach 2: 1. Sample data in vdsm for each CPU stats. (sys, usr, iowait, idle) 2. Calculate the each CPU usage information. (%sys, %usr, %iowait, %id= le) 3. VDSM merge per NUMA node CPU usage. (%sys, %usr, %iowait, %idle) 4. Transport the usage data to engine core. Which one do you prefer, and why, or other solution.

[Engine-devel] Switched to thread-based GWT worker factory
by Vojtech Szocs 07 Mar '14

07 Mar '14

Hi guys, with patch [1] merged into master, GWT compiler will now use only thread-based GWT worker factory (ThreadedPermutationWorkerFactory) when compiling WebAdmin & UserPortal GUI. [1] http://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/c/25163/ In practice, this means that GWT compiler will spawn up to: max_worker_threads = min(localWorkers, 4) when compiling specific permutations (i.e. browser x locale). Note that localWorkers value can be controlled through: EXTRA_BUILD_FLAGS="-Dgwt.compiler.localWorkers=..." DEV_EXTRA_BUILD_FLAGS="-Dgwt.compiler.localWorkers=..." Before this patch was merged, GWT compiler spawned up to: max_external_processes = localWorkers i.e. using separate Java sub-process (CompilePermsServer) that communicates with GWT compiler process via socket. For localWorkers == 1, tests show minimal-to-zero improvement. However, for localWorkers > 1, tests show a slight improvement in favor of thread-based approach. Let me know if you have any questions. Regards, Vojtech

[Engine-devel] Tweaking backup/restore of engine
by Sven Kieske 06 Mar '14

06 Mar '14

Hi, currently all events are stored in the table audit_log which all gets saved when you use the engine-backup shell script. the event log is full of these login lines (engine 3.3.2): 25652 fdfc627c-d875-11e0-90f0-83df133b58cc admin@internal 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000 \N \N \N \N \N 2014-01-20 06:39:17.222+01 USER_VDC_LOGIN 30 0 User admin@internal logged in. f \N \N 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000 \N \N \N \N 00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000 \N oVirt -1 30 f \N this makes the log and db grow very large when you use the REST-API to query ovirt for various data. Is this necessary for a working restore? It would be cool if we could tweak the engine-backup tool to just dump necessary tables so you don't have to restore events from the past no one is interested in. How does ovirt react, if I do not restore the content of the audit_log table? If this works (restore without audit_log) I would prefer to have this code upstream in ovirt git so I don't have to maintain my own backupscript. Would it be possible to extend the existing backupscript with a switch to not backup logs? Currently it's just "all" or "just db". I also recall that there shouldn't occur multiple login events any more since ovirt 3.3. but it still seems to be the case. I also do not understand how you would manage a stored authentication via REST as REST is stateless. I would appreciate any feedback or thoughts on this topic. -- Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Regards Sven Kieske Systemadministrator Mittwald CM Service GmbH & Co.

[Engine-devel] Schema upgrade failure on master

Hi, I've recently rebased to master and it looks like the 03_05_0050_event_notification_methods.sql script is failing on schema upgrade. Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?

[Engine-devel] [ATN][devenv] update for otopi
by Alon Bar-Lev 05 Mar '14

05 Mar '14

Hello All, I would like to ask you to update your otopi package on your development machines to at least otopi-1.2.0_0.7. It is much closer to what we are going to release and will avoid many unrelated errors within log file due to a change in engine that soon to be applied. Please also notice that the nightly repository was modified recently and it is now changed place and was split here[1] and here[2], so it is a good opportunity to modify this as well in your /etc/yum.repo.d and have them both, dropping the old nightly. Thank you, Alon [1] http://resources.ovirt.org/pub/ovirt-snapshot/ [2] http://resources.ovirt.org/pub/ovirt-snapshot-static/
