Re: [ovirt-users] several questions about serial console

Le 15/04/2016 17:27, Nathanaël Blanchet a écrit : Hi all, About serial console: how to get out of a selectionned vm where we are on the login prompt (why not backing up to the vm menu) rather than killing the ssh process or closing the terminal? Usual "^] " doesn't work there. according to https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Virtuali... # ssh -t -p 2222 ovirt-vmconsole@MANAGER_IP --vm-name vm1 should allow to connect directly to a vm on its serial port, and it is very useful when there are a big number of vm. In reality, we get a SSH issue : "unknown option -- -"

An other question is : Why the vm order is not alphabetic? it could simplify the search when too many vms are displayed. And a simple "sort -k2" command should do the stuff...

if we want to add 5 users with UserVmManager role on 150 vms and I can't use group for this stuff, this means I need to do this with an ovirt-shell script like : # for i in $(cat /tmp/ids.ovirt); do for j in $(cat /tmp/list_all);do ovirt-shell -E "add permission --parent-vm-name $j --user-id $i --role-name UserVmManager"; done; done and 5*150 API connections only because I can't add several user ids on the same "add permission" line ? It's doable, but not not very convinient and very long if I have many more users to add. Why can't we add permission by user-name and not user-id ?
