[Users] Trouble making ovirt-node image
by Federico Alberto Sayd
Hello:
I am trying to implement Ovirt in a testing datacenter.
I have installed Ovirt-Engine from rpm on Fedora 16 and all is Ok. I can
access the web management without problem.
My problem is with Ovirt-Node. I followed the guide in:
http://www.ovirt.org/wiki/Node_Building.
I used the same Fedora 16 installation for building the node iso. I
followed all steps, but the iso creation failed.
The docs dont say, but I had to install at least the ovirt-node-tools,
I don't know if also I have to install ovirt-node rpm from
$BASEDIR/rpmbuild/RPMS/noarch
The output of make ovirt-node-image.iso is in pastebin:
http://pastebin.com/2U6NezuE
There is not yet a prebuilt image of Ovirt available?
Thanks! Any help is appreciated

[Users] Storage configuration
by Cristian Falcas
Hello list,
Again I'm having truble with simple things. I don't know how to
properly setup the Storage.
Mainly I don't know how to define a location for the iso files to be
used at installation time.
Also, I want to ask if ovirt has the concept of virtual machine
images: already installed OSs that can be fired up and used by any
node without installation. I think only the MAC address should be
updated for that.
Best regards,
Cristian Falcas

[Users] Gentoo wiki article
by Dimitrije Zivkovic
Hi,
as promised, wiki article is somewhat modified :)
http://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/OVirt
I hope it answers all the questions you asked and I hope even more that you
will be adding more problems and solutions to it.
Next thing for me will be creating ebuild file binary JBoss, stay tuned...

Federico,
Since I personally know the one who wrote most of the vdsm-ovirt/rhel
integration bugs (not the code, just the bugs...) I'm fully aware of
network complexity, and the impact of supporting several distro's.
This is exactly why I asked for a /generic/ approach, which will
not pull in numerous packages which are distro or desktop-env specific.
Having said that, I can tell you that last night I did some more
investigations in Gentoo, and I was pleasantly surprised to see
the following:
emerge -DuNavt --with-bdeps=y --keep-going net-misc/networkmanager
These are the packages that would be merged, in reverse order:
Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild N ] net-misc/networkmanager-0.8.4.0-r2 USE="bluetooth ppp -avahi -connection-sharing -dhclient -dhcpcd -doc -gnutls -nss -resolvconf" 1,634 kB
[ebuild N ] net-misc/modemmanager-0.4 USE="policykit -doc -test" 435 kB
Total: 2 packages (2 new), Size of downloads: 2,069 kB
This means that network manager no longer pulls gnome-related
packages, which is very good news. If this is the case in other
distro's I think we can converge on this solution.
I guess we only need some input from Suse / Ubuntu people to
see if it works for them as well.

[Users] ovirt-node on Gentoo
by Dimitrije Zivkovic
Hi,
after few hours of playing around with ovirt-node and following
http://www.ovirt.org/wiki/Ovirt_Quickstart guide, I've managed to get all
the way to installing vdsm on gentoo server. At this point, it is not even
the issue of creating the ebuild file for vdsm, the blocker for me was the
following:
- after compiling vdsm and installing it, order of files and install
locations are clearly following redhat system
- when starting vdsm by startup script (which is in /etc/rc.d/init.d,
which, in turn, does not exists in Gentoo), from errors thrown at me I see
that it is redhat startup script
So, I will look through the code, when time allows, but if someone could
help out by some info or advice, it would be appreciated... So far, I would
start by porting /etc/init.d/functions from fedora and then continue to
solve the problem with conf files being on different locations. Any
thoughts on this? Is this the wa to go, in the first place?

[Users] FOSDEM & more general booth/promotion stuff.
by Robyn Bergeron
FOSDEM is the 4th and 5th of February.
http://fosdem.org/2012/
I'd like to go ahead and reserve table space for us, but need to know if
we have anyone who is willing to volunteer and hang out at the table and
answer questions. Or better yet, if we have a few people who are
willing to take turns doing some booth duty there.
Also up for discussion:
* We'll probably need a tablecloth
* Would be nice to have some marketing materials (flyers, stickers, etc)
* Super wish list: Have a hand-out disc capable of booting into multiple
distros with oVirt packages ready to go
* Have a demo of sorts available (machine remote, but a console
available for playing)
Please pipe up if you're planning on attending in some capacity! :)

[Users] vdsm configuration
by Cristian Falcas
Hello all,
Can someone point me to some documentation regarding vdsm (and if
needed libvirt) configuration? How it is accessed by the ovirt-engine
and how to set it to a certain ovirt-engine on the network. Currently
my libvirt is complaining that it can't work with ssh-less vdsm and I
have no idea how to set up the keys for vdsm.
Also I have no idea how to define the storage: in ovirt or in vdsm?
Who is reporting the disks/files available?
I hope I understood correctly that only the vdsm package is needed to
make the physical machine available for ovirt and only ovirt-engine is
doing all the heavy work.
Also, if the questions are too "RTFM", please let me know where I can
find any help related to ovirt.
Best regards,
Cristian Falcas
