This is a multi-part message in MIME format. --------------050508050702000505060503 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Hello, I followed this http://www.ovirt.org/Ovirt_Reports for installing ovirt-report in ovirt >=3.4 with centos 6.5 The installation was successfull, but when restarting engine, I can connect very briefly in the webadmin before havinf a blank page. I restarted the engine, and when I choose "report", it is the same. So my webadmin was unusable anymore. I belived it was because a lack of memory so that I increased it up to 6 GB (!) but it didn't change anything. I had to uninstall ovirt-engine-reports jasperreports-server ovirt-engine-dwh so as engine to be ok. I specify that my ovirt 3.4.1 had been upgraded from the dreyou 3.2 repo with a previous working engine-report.

Re: [ovirt-users] oVirt China User Group?
by 适兕 26 May '14

26 May '14

Hi: Brian, Thank for your reply. I'm glad to hear you want to support. We are ready for domain ovirt-china.org, but have no VPS yet, I have already requested CSDN(http://www.csdn.net) for free VPS, but need to wait a week. When the VPS is ready, I will request for you on how to sync website. Mirror website is good choice, But your question is not a problem in a short period of time, Because I don't think we can do innovation before oVirt 3.5 release. I think our main job is translate and spread in the next six mouths. I think when 3.6 kicks off, we can write English contents in ovirt.org first and then translate them to ovirt-china..org. I'm not already for local meeting, Maybe August? I'm not sure. 2014-05-23 18:35 GMT+08:00 Brian Proffitt <bproffit(a)redhat.com>: > The rental issue is a possibility.

Creating a VM for Ubuntu 14 (Trusty Tahr)
by Bob Doolittle 26 May '14

26 May '14

Hi, I notice that when creating a new VM and selecting the OS there is no choice available for Ubuntu 14.04 "Trusty Tahr" at this time. How much difference does the OS selection make? Would I be safer choosing Ubuntu 13.10 "Saucy Salamander" or "Other"? Thanks, Bob

by Grant Tailor 26 May '14

26 May '14

What i want to do is have the hosts use their local storage..i do not want to use NAS or NFS for storage of host or virtual machine data/files. I wan each host to have their local SATA disks as their storage....just like in Ganeti Can ovirt do this? It is ok to have ISO images on the ovirt-engine/management host but i do not want NFS or Shared storage when it comes to the hosts in the infrastructure. Please advice. Thanks!!!
