future without CentOS
by rp.neuli＠yahoo.com 10 Feb '23

Hello Masters, I am very keen to use oVirt, but I was shocked and shaken to go ahead with oVirt after I heard about end of road for CentOS. Therefore I looked for some answers which I could not find online: 1. Will/Are you actively and vigorously porting: a) oVirt Agent to other OS like ubuntu? b) vdsm package to other OS like ubuntu, deb, openBSD etc. 2. While standalone oVirt Node can continue to have CentOS codebase under the hood. But do you still want to migrate it to other OS? like openBSD? Kindly advice. In my view, oVirt in itself is a good and complete platform. It just need to continue evolve as VM and container "OS"/hypervisor. At the same time 'agent' and vdsm should be ported to as many OS as possible. Thank you. Rajeev

oVirt 4.6 planning
by Sandro Bonazzola 07 Feb '23

07 Feb '23

oVirt developers community, I see there are a few enhancements submitted in GitHub: engine: Add amt_ws fence agent support <https://github.com/oVirt/ovirt-engine/pull/810> Notification emails merging and localization <https://github.com/oVirt/ovirt-engine/pull/798> And also some rebase proposal: Rebase on WildFly 26 <https://github.com/oVirt/ovirt-engine/issues/637> Which would probably make more sense to be targeted to an oVirt 4.6 than a 4.5.z. There are now about three hundreds Untargeted issues(no milestone set) <https://github.com/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+user%3Aovirt+archived%3Afa…> to be triaged and about sixty Untargeted PRs (no milestone set) <https://github.com/pulls?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Apr+user%3Aovirt+archived%3Afalse+…> to be reviewed. Some of them might be ready for a 4.5.z bugfix release while others can wait for a 4.6. Anyone willing to step in to lead the oVirt 4.6 development? A year has passed since my blog post about the future of the oVirt project <https://blogs.ovirt.org/2022/02/future-of-ovirt-february-2022/> but the concept is the same: oVirt future depends on how you, the community! Come help contribute to this new future <https://ovirt.org/develop/>! CC users community in case someone wants to jump into development as well.

About oVirt’s future
by Yedidyah Bar David 14 Nov '22

14 Nov '22

Hi all, Red Hat Virtualization (RHV) recently entered maintenance phase[1], and the RHV development team is gradually shifting its efforts over to other projects. We are still around, subscribed to the mailing lists, answering questions and help as needed. There is a strong trend in the industry towards containers and microservices, and Red Hat's part of that is OpenShift. People that want to use OpenShift and still need virtualization, until they transition their workloads to run in containers, would best be served by using OpenShift Virtualization. Following this, if you are an oVirt user, you might want to try OKD Virtualization [2], the Community Distribution of Kubernetes that powers Red Hat OpenShift, and Forklift [3], a migration tool that facilitates the transition of VM workloads from oVirt to OKD Virtualization. We worked hard over the last year or so on making sure the oVirt project will be able to sustain development even without much involvement from us - including moving most of the infrastructure from private systems that were funded by/for oVirt/RHV, elsewhere - code review from Gerrit to GitHub, and CI (Continuous Integration) from jenkins to GitHub/Copr/CentOS CBS. We see lots of activity in the community both trying and using oVirt, and helping each other, which is great! We also see some work done on basing oVirt on Rocky/Alma Linux, which is also great! We’ll be happy to help with this, where our specific expertise is needed. Ultimately, the future of oVirt lies in the hands of the community. If you, as a community member, use and like oVirt, and want to see it thrive, now is the best time to help with this! In particular, we welcome long-time, active members of this list to join the list moderation team. If you want to help with this, please contact me directly, or email ovirt-users at ovirt.org. I am posting this message to both lists - users and devel, separately - deliberately not cross-posting. If you are subscribed to both, and feel like replying, please choose the list that best matches the content of your reply. Thanks! :-) Best regards, [1] https://access.redhat.com/support/policy/updates/rhev [2] https://docs.okd.io/latest/virt/about-virt.html [3] https://www.konveyor.io/tools/forklift/ -- Didi

oVirt 4.5.2 - Add Gluster Volume fails via Ansible & Cockpit
by simon＠justconnect.ie 14 Nov '22

14 Nov '22

I posted this in the Users group but perhaps it needs to be in Development as I’ve not had a response yet. Hi, In 4.4 adding additional gluster volumes was a simple ansible task (or via cockpit). With 4.5.2 I tried to add new volumes but the logic has changed/broken. Here's the error I am getting: TASK [gluster.infra/roles/backend_setup : Create volume groups] ******************************************************************************************************************************** failed: [bdtovirthcidmz02-strg.mydomain.com] (item={'key': 'gluster_vg_sda', 'value': [{'vgname': 'gluster_vg_sda', 'pvname': '/dev/sda'}]}) => {"ansible_loop_var": "item", "changed": true, "cmd": ["vgcreate", "--dataalignment", "2048K", "-s", "2048K", "gluster_vg_sda", "/dev/sda"], "delta": "0:00:00.010442", "end": "2022-11-10 13:11:16.717772", "item": {"key": "gluster_vg_sda", "value": [{"pvname": "/dev/sda", "vgname": "gluster_vg_sda"}]}, "msg": "non-zero return code", "rc": 3, "start": "2022-11-10 13:11:16.707330", "stderr": " Configuration setting \"filter\" invalid.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Kind regards Simon

Enable DCO app on github for enforcing signed-off-by
by Nir Soffer 27 Oct '22

27 Oct '22

I'm not sure we enforce signed-off-by in all projects, but we do in the most important projects. There is a nice little app adding CI check with zero effort. Here is a bad commit: https://github.com/nirs/userstorage/pull/29 When the check fails the app provides useful help for users: https://github.com/nirs/userstorage/pull/29/checks?check_run_id=9125092601 Looks like very little effort to improve all projects! If you wandered what signed-off-by means, this is explained here: https://wiki.linuxfoundation.org/dco Nir
