26 Dec '13

Has anyone had success running ovirt-engine on Fedora 20? I upgraded my system on Wednesday and thought everything was fine but then I started getting the following error: 2013-12-19 14:53:31,447 ERROR [org.ovirt.engine.core.bll.Backend] (MSC service thread 1-5) Error in getting DB connection. The database is inaccessible. Original exception is: DataAccessResourceFailureException: Error retreiving database metadata; nested exception is org.springframework.jdbc.support.MetaDataAccessException: Could not get Connection for extracting meta data; nested exception is org.springframework.jdbc.CannotGetJdbcConnectionException: Could not get JDBC Connection; nested exception is java.sql.SQLException: javax.resource.ResourceException: IJ000453: Unable to get managed connection for java:/ENGINEDataSource Has anyone encountered this recently?

[Engine-devel] Is there is time based task scheduling available in oVirt ?
by Shubhendu Tripathi 26 Dec '13

26 Dec '13

We are in a requirement where time based task scheduling is required for gluster tasks. I understand that, as is there is no such mechanism available in oVirt using which we can schedule tasks like volume snaps creation at a given time and frequency. Wanted to know if there is some plan in near future for supporting this feature. This certainly would open other automation options in oVirt. Regards, Shubhendu

[Engine-devel] Options for embedding Cloud init features into VM dialog - Need Input
by Malini Rao 23 Dec '13

23 Dec '13

Hello all, There is a current feature to embed cloud init configuration which was originally part of the Run dialog to be part of the create/ Edit VM dialog. This presents a challenge in terms of good display of the hierarchies of information since the VM dialog is already having subtabs stacked vertically. Please find here (http://www.ovirt.org/UX/cloud_init) alternate concepts of how we might represent all the levels of hierarchy from the VM dialog sub tabs to the cloud init categories and the content ( which is also nested sometimes) for each. I have provided brief explanations of each concept and I would like your feedback on these ... esp with regard to feasibility. The general goals that govern the various concepts are - - Correct representation of the hierarchy - Not overloading the users with too much info and cluttering the screen - Not utilizing the same UI paradigm ( like expand/ collapse) for different types of info. For example, we have categories of info where the fields are distinct from each other and then we have times where the user is able to add multiple instances of the same object type - e.g NICs and have the same set of fields be defined for each instance. Your feedback is appreciated. Thanks Malini
