Hi,
If I remove a disk image from a Virtual Machine, then I can=92t edit the =
disk properties in the =84Disks=93 tab. (e.g. bootable flag)
It is only possible to change the flags on attached disks.
My test environments are engine versions 3.3.3 and 3.4 beta2
Best regards
Andreas

[Users] New oVirt Community Dashboard
by Brian Proffitt
With much pleasure, I would like to introduce a new tool for the oVirt community: a community dashboard from the team at Bitergia.
This dashboard, found at [1], should enable us to get better insights into the activity within our community, as well as what communication channels are performing the best and who is most active on any given day.
Thanks to the work of Bitergia and Dave Neary, this dashboard is now ready for community feedback. I would invite you to take a look and make comments on how the information is presented and what data is available. Currently, the data is updated once a day.
Two initial questions: would IRC data be useful? And, would an aggregate page of all of the "Top" lists be something to add, too?
Two known bugs: The links to the MySQL and JSON data files are not working at the moment.
We welcome your feedback!
Peace,
Brian

Hi,
Is it possible in oVirt to use a cloud ready image of Ubuntu in oVirt ?
Those images can be found in this website and are in qcow2 format.
http://cloud-images.ubuntu.com/precise/current/
I want to use this image to make a template from it that I can configure in=
oVirt.

Thanks for the quick respons, but there is no memcached running on that VM.

René,
started digging into this, but it may take some time.
Note that there are 2 memory usage reports; one for the host,
and another for each VM.
My response is related to the host, while the original question was
for the VM. I still think the root cause is the same (ie- related to
overcommitment; for example the VM may have a balloon inflated), but
would like to properly check and fix if needed.
In order to make sure we keep track of it, please open a bug with all the
relevant info.
Thanks and keep reporting!

[Users] taking advantage of extra disk space on nodes
by Robert Story
--Sig_/3JPaVh0uh3olCd4JN0DHdY.
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII
Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
So I've got a handful of oVirt nodes now, and most of them have over 100G of
unallocated disk space. I'm trying to figure out how to best take advantage
of that space. I see two possibilities: storage for oVirt, or
backup/archive storage.
I'm currently using a single NFS server for VM/iso/export storage (oVirt
3.3.x on CentOS, if it matters) and don't need to scale to hundreds of
nodes (probably 10-20, max). Is current gluster support stable enough for
production? What are the pros/cons of gluster vs NFS? I like the idea of
not having a single point of failure but worry about performance.
The other option is to stick with my NFS server and use the extra storage
for archive/backup space. Here I'm looking for reliability (i.e. losing a
server won't cause data loss) over performance. Are there pros/cons to
gluster vs ceph? Will either/both peacefully co-exist with an ovirt node?
All suggestions welcomed. Thanks!
Robert

[Users] test day help -- console
by Greg Sheremeta
I'm having a tough time getting a VM console working via VNC. I set a VM to use VNC, and I installed virt-viewer.
1. When I try to open a .vv file with virt-viewer, I get an error "Cannot find guest domain /var/tmp/console.vv"
2. Using a VNC client to connect to the host with the password in the .vv file just immediately disconnects it -- no error message.
3. noVNC just gives me an empty popup with a gray background.
Any ideas?

[Users] Dedicated Bonding interface for Gluster
by ml ml
Hello List,
i would like to use a dedicated Bonding Interface for Gluster Replication
and Migration.
I was already able to add my Bonding Interfaces in my Hosts-Network Tab,
however i am failing to tell Gluster to use this interface. It only offers
me nodeX.local (which is my managment network).
More infos are collected here: http://oi58.tinypic.com/v6qaa1.jpg
Can someone tell me how to configure Gluster to use the dedicated bond
interface?
I already asked in the IRC Channel but nobody seems to know :-/
Thanks,
Mario
