[Users] Hey using NFS as my main datastore
by Dominic Kaiser
I am using NFS share on an Openfile server as my main datastore went to
fire up a virtual instance this is the error I get:
VM Building_Automation is down. Exit message internal error process exited
while connecting to monitor: qemu-kvm: -drive
file=/rhev/data-center/c10c25e0-526a-11e1-a5e4-87fa674ffb5d/340dad49-2ec7-475e-b6c6-668504bdb5b1/images/da582689-2248-4d0e-a017-b09f8cfa9410/78340ab7-b1f5-4fad-9150-437e7ff9d14c,if=none,id=drive-virtio-disk0,format=raw,serial=0e-a017-b09f8cfa9410,cache=none,werror=stop,rerror=stop,aio=threads:

Does vdsm have to be installed on the server that shares the main
datastore? Export and ISO are fine no problems.

Re: [Users] Pxeboot - pwd/login issue
by Li, David
Hi Mike,
I ran into the login/pwd problem again with this new build. Kernel option adminpw worked but only for a short time. I was asked to change pwd immediately after login but then rejected again after I did that. There was an short-lived error message on the screen but I wasn't able to capture it.
I tried the latest from archipel source and it worked without password issue. I pulled it from:
git clone https://github.com/primalmotion/Archipel.git
There might be a few updates right after you pulled it last time.
Would you mind merge the new updates into ovirt node again?
Thanks.
David

[Users] Difference between RHEV and ovirt
by patrick
Hello all,
In our company we want to use either RHEV or oVirt in a production
environment. After testing RHEV for 30 days we are happy with the
stability and features. Can someone explain the difference between
RHEV and oVirt? Are there maybe some features just available in RHEV
like Windows guest drivers or someting like that?
I'm not sure if I get this right, but as oVirt is the upstream of RHEV
does this means that new features like hot add nic etc. are first
available in oVirt and afterwards in RHEV. Does oVirt has any
drawbacks compared to RHEV other than support?
Thanks in advance

[Users] Problem with required packages when installing ovirt-engine
by Terry Phelps
I'm new here, and am trying to install ovirt-engine, as documented on
ovirt.org/get-ovirt, and in the installation guide. I've worked with
RPM-based distributions (RHEL, Centos, Scientific Linux) for quite a
while, but have never worked with Fedora.
Please tell me what I'm doing wrong, or failing to do:
I am trying to install ovirt-engine on a newly-built Scientific Linux
6.1 (just like RHEL 6.1) machine. I did the "wget
...ovirt-engine.repo", and removed the classpathx-jaf RPM.
Then I tried to "yum install ovirt-engine", and got a number of errors:
Error: Package: ovirt-engine-tools-common-3.0.0_0001-1.6.fc16.x86_64
(ovirt-engine-stable)
Requires: jakarta-commons-jxpath
Error: Package: ovirt-engine-log-collector-3.0.0_0001-1.6.fc16.x86_64

Installed: python-2.6.6-20.el6.x86_64
(@anaconda-ScientificLinux-201107271550.x86_64)
python(abi) = 2.6
Error: Package: ovirt-engine-tools-common-3.0.0_0001-1.6.fc16.x86_64

hsqldb = 1:1.8.0.10-8.el6
Error: Package: ovirt-engine-3.0.0_0001-1.6.fc16.x86_64 (ovirt-engine-stable)

Installed: 1:jakarta-commons-discovery-0.4-5.4.el6.noarch
(@anaconda-ScientificLinux-201107271550.x86_64)
I'm suppose this means that I need newer versions of some packages
that are installed now, and these are not available in a yum repo that
my yum can see. The only change to the installed yum environment I
have made is to add the ovirt-engine repo. I don't see anything in the
docs about pointing to some Fedora repo, or some such thing, but
perhaps that's what I need to do.
Can someone please enlighten me?

[Users] Ovirt Support life (timeframe) - upgrade path ?
by Morgan Cox
Hi.
As Fedora the default system that Ovirt is packaged for does this mean that
Ovirt will have the same (short) support life of 18 months ? I ask as that
is a bit short to have in enterprise ..
I.e if I install Ovirt in Fedora 16 will support life run out when Fedora
16 runs out or will I be able to upgrade Ovirt/Fedora to the next version?
Are there going packages for Centos ? If so will they be supported longer ?
If this information is out there already can you point me to the right
direction ?
Regards

[Users] Unable to add ISOs to default ISO storage domain
by Andrew Dunlop
I have been trying to upload ISOs onto my ISO Storage Domain, set up
when I ran engine-setup.
I can run the command and the .iso file is correctly put in place,
however this never appears in the available images for this domain on
the web-admin.
I notice that there are no file entries in
https://xxxx.xxxx.co.uk:8443/api/storagedomains/a677acff-601b-4b6d-86ce-0...
just what is given in the verbose output from the uploader.
Any ideas what the problem might be? I have tried a couple of ISOs and
have also done a cleanup and setup.
Below is the verbose output from the uploader:
[admin@xxxx ~]$ sudo engine-iso-uploader -v -f -i ISOs upload
Downloads/TinyCore-current.iso
[sudo] password for admin:
Please provide the REST API password for the admin@internal oVirt

[Users] Gluster Compatibility
by Barry French
Hi,
Is oVirt able to use glusterfs to access gluster shares. I know
gluster can export NFS shares but using the glusterfs client provides
redundancy over all gluster brick ip's, whereas standard NFS does not.
Thanks.
