External VMs support status
by Christopher Pereira 24 Dec '15

24 Dec '15

Hi, oVirt provides a so-called "external VM" concept to control basic functionality (start, stop, migrate) of VMs running outside oVirt. What is the status of the external VM support? I couldn't find any documentation to understand how to get oVirt detecting VMs running via libvirt (outside oVirt). https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1276215 Best regards, Christopher

Automation CI for imgbased
by Fabian Deutsch 22 Dec '15

22 Dec '15

Hey, imgbased [1] is the layer management component in Node Next, leveraging lvm. In the last days I've added unittests for this component. After Ryan ramped up the jobs, I spent some time to fix the unit tests. Previously imgbased was tested inside VMs to run the unit tests. Now I moved to a fake LVM which is modeling the real LVm behavior, to run the unit tests. This is _much_ quicker, and much easier to handle. To try it yourself, just clone [1] and run $ make check - fabian -- [1] https://gerrit.ovirt.org/gitweb?p=imgbased.git -- Fabian Deutsch <fdeutsch(a)redhat.com> RHEV Hypervisor Red Hat

Francesco share "What's new in virt" in the list - many patches ready for review - reviews will be appreciate for https://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/q/topic:cpuinfo 4. Nir's cleanup vdsm exceptions - https://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/q/topic:exceptions waits for comments and acks 5.
