[Users] Mix Opteron and Xeon CPUs
by Ian Levesque 06 Aug '12

Hi, Is it possible / planned to support different CPU types for VM hosts in oVirt? I'd like to add a host with Opteron 6128 CPUs to my cluster with an existing host that has Xeon E5506 CPUs. Unfortunately, the GUI informs me that "host does not meet the cluster's minimum CPU level. Missing CPU features : vmx, model_Conroe"; is there any way to use a more general "compatibility" mode? I know that native KVM/libvirt supported this, as I was able to live migrate VMs between these hosts before moving our infrastructure to oVirt. Thanks, Ian

[Users] Looking for help: Demo videos
by Dave Neary 06 Aug '12

06 Aug '12

Hi everyone, Last week I pitched the idea of having some demo videos (I called them "screencasts" although that's not quite accurate) ready before the 3.1 release next week. I don't have the domain knowledge to do this myself, so I need your help! What is there to do? 1. Go to http://wiki.ovirt.org/wiki/Screencasts - have a look at the features I've proposed for the first round of videos. If you really think one of them shouldn't be there, or there's a really important feature you'd like to see a demo for, please reply here and we'll discuss it. You can always add a proposed feature with the skeleton template to the Screencasts page also, but there's no guarantee we'll have a video by the time the release comes around. It would helkp me prioritise if we could gather feedback here. 2. For each feature, we should have a scenario/script for the demo, including: * Required pre-requisites and set-up (what do I need to do before I start the demo) * A step by step description of how to show the feature being demoed Right now, only two features are described, and those descriptions may need work. If you see a feature which is not yet described, and you know how to use it, please add a little script following the template. If you see a feature which is not described well enough, please update the description. 3. For each feature with a script, we need a video. I have started a page to help people record videos of their screen, for the systems I know about: http://wiki.ovirt.org/wiki/Recording_video - the videos (without sound) can, I think, be attached to the wiki page - ogv or webm format preferably, please! 4. For each video, we will need a sound-track. I'm happy to voice over some of the videos, but again, it would be nice to spread the load. We're not even here yet, though. Thanks everyone for your help! It will be greatly appreciated. Regards, Dave. -- Dave Neary Community Action and Impact Open Source and Standards Team, Red Hat Phone: +33 9 50 71 55 62

Turns out that don´t work out too well, haha:) So I´m reinstalling it right now, and was careful to choose us_EN this time. Will keep you posted on how it turns out. After a clean reinstall and us_EN locale it´s working again, just as expected. I´ll still keep an eye on it though, just in case. /Karli

[Users] Managing Remote Access to Physical Workstations
by Randall Wood 03 Aug '12

03 Aug '12

I have an environment where I would like to be able to provide users with a single web interface from which they would be able to open a console on either a virtual machine or on a physical machine. Playing with a clean install of oVirt 3.1 suggests that oVirt is not capable of doing this. Has anyone successfully configured oVirt to provide this capability, or know of a system that could integrate with oVirt to meet that requirement? -- Randall Wood Alexandria Software http://www.alexandriasoftware.com randall.h.wood(a)alexandriasoftware.com 202.683.8604

Hi, Then you should still have a look at the Leostream Connection Broker. (www.leostream.com) One of the latest features we're integration with Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization / (ovirt). And they support both Windows and Linux. They support a wide variety of protocols and flexible configurations as well.
