Request for 3 PPC64 vm slaves for Jenkins

Hi, PPC64 support is going to be introduced as new feature in oVirt 3.4.0. So we should start delivering PPC64 packages for arch dependent packages for both EL6 and Fedora. VMs may be small enough since they should only build nightly vdsm and ovirt-host-deploy-offline: 1 core, 512Mb ram, 10Gb disk Software needed: minimal install + vdsm and ovirt-host-deploy-offline build deps. -- Sandro Bonazzola Better technology.

Since we only have x86 hardware which run oVirt. Does it have to be a PPC64 VM because I don't think we can host that right now.

AFAIK we can run qemu-system-ppc64 also on x86_64. Or am I missing something?

Alternative is cross compile for ppc64 from x86_64.

Can we also do this with oVirt as host? Ideally I'd prefer not having to manually host a VM but have oVirt take care of it. Could a VDSM hook possibly solve this if not built in?

Who is Aline? I am software engineer at IBM LTC (Linux Technology Center) and also Kimchi maintainer. What is Kimchi? (https://github.com/kimchi-project/kimchi) Kimchi is an HTML5 based management tool for KVM. It is designed to make it as easy as possible to get started with KVM and create your first guest. Kimchi is supported in RHEL, Fedora, openSUSE and Ubuntu and also in all main browsers: Firefox, Chrome, IE and the mobile ones (Chrome, Safari) And test Kimchi in all those distributions takes too much time. Because that we want to use Jenkins. So we can set up a virtual machine with each distribution, run unit tests, build, install kimchi and run some tests after it. It can be done for each patch sent to review and also nightly builds. I am trying to figure out if it is possible to IBM provide us some slave servers. At the moment I don't have any update about that. But if we're lucky, probably the machines will be POWER (any problem with that?) I will try to always join the infrastructure scrum meeting so I can help on that.

Hi all, I am going through the legal stuffs to get POWER machines from IBM available to ovirt community. But in this first attempt, I am trying to get POWER vms and not a host POWER machine. Sandro, Eyal: Do POWER vms work fine for your proposals? Or you need a host POWER machine?

Hi, for me it's enough to have a qemu-system-ppc64 run, any way is fine. The reason I'm asking is just to exercise he PPC64 changes recently added on VDSM, and of course catch as early as possible differences between x86_64 and PPC64 hosts. An example to issue I'd like to prevent in the future: http://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/c/24332/ Thanks and best regards, -- Francesco Romani RedHat Engineering Virtualization R & D Phone: 8261328 IRC: fromani

Never tested such configuration. CCing VDSM developers about this.
