Subject: Re: [Users] Nightly Builds, was Authentication for REST APIs?
I found instructions on the wiki for using nightly builds at:
http://wiki.ovirt.org/wiki/Installing_ovirt-engine_from_rpm
The instructions didn't work. In particular, the ovirt-engine.repo
file was not found at the provided url.
http://www.ovirt.org/releases/nightly/fedora/16/ovirt-engine.repo
I did find an ovirt-engine.repo file at:
http://www.ovirt.org/releases/nightly/rpm/Fedora/17/ovirt-engine.repo
The contents of that repo file point it back to the
releases/3.1/rpm/Fedora/17 directory. I'm presuming that if I change
the baseurl to releases/nightly/rpm/... it will all work (which I'll
be doing this afternoon).
In any case, someone might want to fix the ovirt-engine.repo file in
the nightly tree and then update the urls in the wiki.
Brian
I would recommend using this package to install the repo file:
http://www.ovirt.org/releases/ovirt-release-fedora.noarch.rpm
It includes definitions for both the stable and nightly repositories - defa=
ulting to stable. You can:
yum install ovirt-engine --enablerepo=3Dovirt-nightly
Or enable it in the /etc/yum.repos.d/ovirt.repo file. Agree that the other =
repo files littering the directory structure should be cleaned up (I though=
t they already had been). Who has access to do that?

I'm currently setting up an ovirt cluster and so far it looks

patches coming in May, but I did not find any new posts.
What is the status of this work? Is there some patches I can
try out?
I have a working Ceph cluster and a working ovirt cluster, I
just need a
way to bring them together.
Thanks, JOSH
I don't remember any active work on this right now (for sure nothing
like the gluster integration being done).
but iiuc, ceph provides posixfs support - did you try creating a
posixfs based storage domain?
(you would need a "full" host (not ovirt-node) to install ceph
client components on).
Thanks,
Itamar
I am doing my work on Fedora 17 hosts, not ovirt-node, since I know
this
will need more OS support.
There are a few different Ceph filesystems. But the posix based one
is
the least ready for production. The rbd filesystem is integrated into
qemu and libvirt is the most suited for VM images.
Are the Gluster patches available? I would like to see what that
feature looks like and if I can modify them for Ceph.
If there is a better filesystem to investigate please let me know.
Thanks, JOSH
gluster as a native storage domain (rather than posixfs) is still in
reviews (and has patches only for vdsm side).
http://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/c/ 6856/
you can also use NFS in the meantime if relevant for ceph.
Thanks for the pointer. I'll follow that and see what I learn.
The vdsm side may be similar since both are network disk device.
There are only 2 steps needed to start up a VM with rbd.
qemu-img create -f rbd rbd:data/host1 10G
Then to start the image for qemu add -drive
file=3Drbd:data/host1,if=3Dnone,id=3Ddrive-virtio-disk0,format=3Draw
or within libvirt:
<disk type=3D'network' device=3D'disk'>
<driver name=3D'qemu' type=3D'raw'/>
<source protocol=3D'rbd' name=3D'data/host1'/>
<target dev=3D'vda' bus=3D'virtio'/>
<address type=3D'pci' domain=3D'0x0000' bus=3D'0x00'
slot=3D'0x05'
function=3D'0x0'/>
</disk>
So the steps are simple, and maybe Gluster is more complex then I
should use as an example.
Have you followed up on this?
Do you need more pointers?
Regards,
Ayal.
Thanks, JOSH

I've actually started to notice that this occurs natively as well (I rarely
if ever use the activex console on a native windows install). However I
have noted that with a Native Windows install and the Activex Remote Viewer
version 0.5.3 that alot of guests have mouse issues w/o spice vdagent or
the windows spice agent in place (very annoying during LFC guests with no
knowledge of "spice mice"). Windows installs can be slipstreamed with the
spice drivers to fix this but thats really a pain. Linux guests however not
as easy. This actually seems to a repeat of this issue:
http://lists.ovirt.org/pipermail/users/2012-February/000351.html (for which
a fix was applied to windows spicec + activex NOT remote-viewer) possible
regression? Using the usbtablet custom vdsm hook does indeed solve issues
with guests that encounter this issue. I have noted it within older linux
guests (no surprise they know nothing of a spice mouse), windows guests,
solaris guests, some of the older opensuse and ubuntu as well as fedora.
The most confusing one was RHEL 6.x which without the spice vdagent loaded
will experience the cursor jumping in and out of the window or randomly on
the spice display. I note the one downside of the usbtablet is that power
users are able to view custom hooks in the PUP UI, but cannot set them as
only the "admin role" not "user role" can do this. That is to say the
power
user can look at and even set the hook but is stopped short of committing
it to the VM settings.

Could this be related to
