Vdsm development documentation at oVirt site
by Milan Zamazal 18 Jul '22

18 Jul '22

Hi, the Vdsm development documentation at https://ovirt.org/develop/developer-guide/vdsm/developers.html is outdated. Thanks to the effort especially from the storage team, there have been updates to the development documentation in the Vdsm repository itself recently. I think that rather than maintaining duplicate documentation in the repository and on the web, it would be better to replace the documentation on the web with pointers to the contents in Vdsm GitHub repository. And adding the remaining pieces from the web to the repo, if anything is missing there. Any objections? And any volunteers? ;-) Thanks, Milan

ovirt-manager: are two OpenJDK really needed?
by aperotti+ovirt＠redhat.com 02 Jul '22

02 Jul '22

Hi, I'm setting up a new environment with 4.5.1 on top of RHEL, and I've noticed that when I install ovirt-engine, not one but two openjdk are installed on my system: # dnf install ovirt-engine Dependencies resolved. ============================================================================================================================================= Package Arch Version Repository Size ============================================================================================================================================= Installing: ovirt-engine noarch 4.5.1.2-1.el8 ovirt-45-upstream 14 M Installing dependencies: [...] java-1.8.0-openjdk-headless x86_64 1:1.8.0.332.b09-2.el8_6 rhel-8-for-x86_64-appstream-rpms 34 M java-11-openjdk-headless x86_64 1:11.0.15.0.10-2.el8_6 rhel-8-for-x86_64-appstream-rpms 40 M Are both really needed? Isn't it possible to just rely on java 8? I've tried to mask each and it looks like both are required by the ovirt-engine... [java-11-openjdk-headless masked] Error: Problem: package ovirt-engine-4.5.1.2-1.el8.noarch requires java-11-openjdk-headless >= 11.0.11, but none of the providers can be installed - cannot install the best candidate for the job [java-1.8.0-openjdk-headless masked] Error: Problem: package ovirt-engine-4.5.1.2-1.el8.noarch requires java-headless, but none of the providers can be installed - cannot install the best candidate for the job I'm asking this for resources optimization and for long term support, because they have different lifecycle [1]: OpenJDK 8 May 2026 8.0.0 OpenJDK 11 Oct 2024 8.0.0 OpenJDK 17 Dec 2027 8.5 Is it a bug or an unnoticed dependency situation so should I open a BZ for it? Or is it a known situation, cannot be avoided to have 2 openjdk so I should open an RFE asking if the dependency can be moved from java-11 to i.e. java-17 in order to have longer support? Thanks for guidance, [1] https://access.redhat.com/support/policy/updates/rhel-app-streams-life-cycl…

Projects missing safe dir config in COPR
by Michal Skrivanek 13 Jun '22

13 Jun '22

Hi, I scanned the current projects and AFAICT these are the active projects that don't have builds configured properly. Please add "git config --global --add safe.directory ..." to the COPR makefile Otherwise COPR build may not work at all or (worse) they build something wrong. Thanks, michal imgbased ioprocess mom ovirt-ansible-collection ovirt-cockpit-sso ovirt-engine-api-metamodel ovirt-engine-api-model ovirt-engine-wildfly ovirt-hosted-engine-ha ovirt-hosted-engine-setup ovirt-lldp-labeler ovirt-log-collector ovirt-node-ng ovirt-openvswitch ovirt-setup-lib ovirt-vmconsole python-ovirt-engine-sdk4

Please use RPM versions that are fine-enough
by Marcin Sobczyk 09 Jun '22

09 Jun '22

Hi All, I was analyzing a problematic situation with ovirt-web-ui build breaking OST for a day or two. It turned out the problem was about RPM versions not being fine enough. The project used only the date part in their RPM names, so the builds were named like this: 1.8.2-0.20220607.git703b8f7.fc35 1.8.2-0.20220607.git26ac92c.fc35 1.8.2-0.20220607.gitf519b50.fc35 The problem with this approach is that among these versions the one with the "biggest SHA" is considered to be the latest one, which is not always true. The solution in this case would be to use finer RPM versions that include at least the hour and the minute of the build (although I can see most projects use seconds too). I posted [1] to fix this in ovirt-web-ui, but I can see other projects suffer from this problem too (i.e. java-ovirt-engine-sdk4, ovirt-engine-ui-extensions) [2]. Please make sure that you use RPM versions that are fine-enough. Thanks, Marcin [1] https://github.com/oVirt/ovirt-web-ui/pull/1599 [2] https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/ovirt/ovirt-master-snapshot/builds/

how to install Oracle Linux Virtualization Manager 4.4 on oracle Linux 8.2
by jateni.jote＠gmail.com 08 Jun '22

08 Jun '22

I'm attempting to install hosted engine 4.3 on Oracle Linux 7.9, but I've heard that 4.3 is no longer supported and that I won't be able to do so. When I deploy any problem SSL certificate, it fails to pass the Deployment.I need to install fresh installation on OLE 8.2 and 4.4 olvm, however I can't find an installation guide or runbook. Is there anyone who can give me with installation instructions? I've attached my installation run book. According to what I've posted, I require a 4.4 installation manual. yum install yum-utils yum-config-manager --enable ol7_latest yum install oracle-ovirt-release-el7 yum clean all yum-config-manager --enable repository yum-config-manager --disable ovirt-4.2 yum-config-manager --disable ovirt-4.2-extra yum install ovirt-hosted-engine-setup -y yum install ovirt-engine-appliance -y Thank you
