Re: [ovirt-devel] ovirt 3.5 to 3.6 upgrade
by Paul Dyer 02 Apr '16

02 Apr '16

Here is a summary of my ovirt 3.5 to 3.6 upgrade. I am not using hosted-engine. The engine machine is EL6. after upgrade to ovirt 3.6, the ovirt-release35 repo remains on the manager machine (non-hosted engine). There is also a list of rpms from the 3.5 repo. Here is a list of 3.5 repo rpms still installed: # yum list installed |grep ovirt-3.5 ovirt-engine-jboss-as.x86_64 7.1.1-1.el6 @ovirt-3.5 patternfly1.noarch 1.3.0-1.el6 @ovirt-3.5-patternfly1-noarch-epel python-daemon.noarch 1.5.2-1.el6 @ovirt-3.5-epel python-kitchen.noarch 1.1.1-1.el6 @ovirt-3.5-epel python-lockfile.noarch 0.8-3.el6 @ovirt-3.5-epel python-ply.noarch 3.4-4.el6 @ovirt-3.5-epel python-websockify.noarch 0.6.0-3.el6 @ovirt-3.5-epel xalan-j2.noarch 2.7.1-8.jbossorg_1.jpp6 @ovirt-3.5-jpackage-6.0-generic ====================================== I removed to 3.5 repo and release35 rpm, as described here. Then, I re-installed the 3.5 rpms with the 3.6 rpms from the 3.6 repo. These rpms did not change from 3.5 to 3.6. I just want them marked as from the 3.6 repo. # yum remove ovirt-release35 # rm /etc/yum.repos.d/ovirt-3.5* # yum reinstall ovirt-engine-jboss-as.x86_64 patternfly1.noarch python-daemon.noarch python-kitchen.noarch python-lockfile.noarch python-ply.noarch python-websockify.noarch xalan-j2.noarch ====================================== I also removed ovirt-engine-jboss-as.x86_64, since I am not using ovirt-engine-reports. # yum remove ovirt-engine-jboss-as.x86_64 ====================================== Hope this document helps. I had loads of problems earlier, relating to trying to use a EL6 virtualization host, when ovirt 3.6 did not support it.

Maintenance Notification: *.ovirt.org Services Today at 18:00 IST (17:00 CET)
by Anton Marchukov 31 Mar '16

31 Mar '16

Hello All. Today at 18:00 IST (17:00 CET) we plan to do hardware upgrades at the datacenter where most of ovirt.org services are hosted. Although we plan to minimize the services downtime, it might still be needed. This does not affect gerrit.ovirt.org but may impact jenkins and other services. The maintenance window is scheduled to last for 2 hours. Anton. -- Anton Marchukov Senior Software Engineer - RHEV CI - Red Hat

are there any ways to disable the log file?
by zhukaijie 31 Mar '16

31 Mar '16

"Since oVirt 3.5.0 (VDSM 4.16.0), VDSM does not enable the overly verbose libvirt debug logs automatically." from http://www.ovirt.org/develop/developer-guide/vdsm/log-files/. So my problem is. Each running VM has it's command line logged in /var/log/libvirt/qemu/${vmname}. And now I'd like to disable this log function, that is to say, not to record the QEMU command line of VM. So could oVirt or VDSM disable this qemu command line log file just like libvirt debug logs? Thank you.

30 Mar '16

Hi, after upgrade to ovirt 3.6, the ovirt-release35 repo remains on the manager machine (non-hosted engine). There is also a list of rpms from the 3.5 repo. Should the 3.5 repo be removed? What about the rpms from the 3.5 repo? Should they stay or go? Here is a list of 3.5 repo rpms still installed: # yum list installed |grep ovirt-3.5 ovirt-engine-jboss-as.x86_64 7.1.1-1.el6 @ovirt-3.5 patternfly1.noarch 1.3.0-1.el6 @ovirt-3.5-patternfly1-noarch-epel python-daemon.noarch 1.5.2-1.el6 @ovirt-3.5-epel python-kitchen.noarch 1.1.1-1.el6 @ovirt-3.5-epel python-lockfile.noarch 0.8-3.el6 @ovirt-3.5-epel python-ply.noarch 3.4-4.el6 @ovirt-3.5-epel python-websockify.noarch 0.6.0-3.el6 @ovirt-3.5-epel xalan-j2.noarch 2.7.1-8.jbossorg_1.jpp6 @ovirt-3.5-jpackage-6.0-generic Thanks, Paul -- Paul Dyer, Mercury Consulting Group, RHCE 504-302-8750
