[Users] permanent vnc password and custom properties
by Michal Kopacki 03 Apr '12

03 Apr '12

Any thoughts how to set vnc password permanently (without any scripts outside ovirt). ? Now I use cli command such: vdsClient -s 0 setVmTicket 75c42e2e-ac28-45ae-9c78-2e4f68ee9c07 <pass> 3600 keep But it's not so convenient. Second question is how to use "Custom properties" box - how should command/value looks like ? -- Michal

Re: [Users] CLI: can't attach storagedomain
by Li, David 03 Apr '12

Omer, My storage domain was in "unattached" stage. So I ran the following CLI to attach it to the data center: [oVirt shell (connected)]# create storagedomain --name "fc16-lid-engine_iso-domain" --datacenter-identifier "ac2690e4-72b2-11e1-882d-000c29bf47ca" unknown error: status: 400 reason: Bad Request detail: [Cannot attach Storage Domain.] The vdsm.log shows nothing specific to this but periodically spits out the following.

Hi folks, After I shut down my ovirt-manager and the KVM (+vdsm) nodes and restarted them my DB in the manager gave me errors... do we need to follow some specific procedure while restarting the whole setup ? -- Regards, Rahul

[Users] Configuring MTU

Is there a way to configure MTU on a guest by guest basis? All our bond interfaces are configured as 9000 byte MTU, but we have a few guests that don't support that and need 1500 byte setting. -Nathan
