I have two other hosts which started from the same install and they work, atleast everything gets installed and the hosts are visisble and up in oVirt. Did a diff of rpm -aq | sort of a working and nonworking host but the diff is minimal, some extra packages (mc/..) some very small version diffs (1.2.3-x instead of y) Any help appreciated, Joop

[Users] HowTo: Spice ActiveX Plugin/Virt Viewer Console on oVirt 3.1
by Dead Horse 13 Mar '13

13 Mar '13

I have seen this question asked many times on this list and the spice-devel list. Now having figured out how to make it work I will provide the answer to the rest of the community. *NOTE* this only applies to Windows/Internet Explorer users. There exists no other option other than the html5 spice console (still beta/in development) for windows users ATM. This will also only work with Internet Explorer. Basic Steps: - Install an oVirt server. - Add at least one node - Setup storage/iso/export domains Advanced steps - Start by downloading: http://elmarco.fedorapeople.org/spice.cab - Create a directory for it oVirt looks by default in /usr/share/spice - Rename spice.cab to SpiceX.cab and copy it into /usr/share/spice - Now edit /usr/share/ovirt-engine/engine.ear/root.war/WEB-INF and add the following:  <servlet> <servlet-name>SpiceX.cab</servlet-name> <servlet-class>org.ovirt.engine.core.FileServlet</servlet-class> <init-param> <param-name>type</param-name> <param-value>application/octet-stream</param-value> </init-param> <init-param> <param-name>file</param-name> <param-value>/usr/share/spice/SpiceX.cab</param-value> </init-param> </servlet> <servlet-mapping> <servlet-name>SpiceX.cab</servlet-name> <url-pattern>/spice/SpiceX.cab</url-pattern> </servlet-mapping> - Next create an html file within /usr/share/ovirt-engine/engine.ear/root.war - In the example below an html file called "spice.html" - Copy/Paste the below into spice.html: <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <title>SPICE Plugin Installer</title> <script type="text/javascript"> function installSpice() { try { document.getElementById('SpiceX').innerHTML = '<OBJECT id="SpiceX" codebase="/spice/SpiceX.cab" classid="clsid:ACD6D89C-938D-49B4-8E81-DDBD13F4B48A" width="0" height="0"></OBJECT>'; } catch (ex) { alert("Epic Fail!: " + ex.Description); } } </script> </head> <body> <p> <p><b id='SpiceX'>Spice ActiveX Plugin</b> </p> <button onclick='installSpice()'>Install Spice Plugin</button> </p> </body> </html> - Save the file - You will now need to restart the ovirt-engine service EG: systemctl restart ovirt-engine.service OR service ovirt-engine restart - The installer page will now be available at http://<url to ovirt server>/spice.html EX: http://ovirt.azeroth.net/spice.html - Navigate to that page and click the install button - IE will prompt you to deploy/install the SpiceX cabinet file - It may gripe about an unsigned or untrusted source, acknowledge this an proceed anyways - If the install succeeds the text "Spice ActiveX Plugin" on the page will change to blank (it's actually the plugin with null values) - The console button in the user and webadmin portals will now launch the new virt-viwer spice based console! Happy Spice Consoling to your VM's from Windows! *NOTE* To uninstall the plugin: - The below removes the add-on from IE (EG: removes knowledge of "application/x-spice") - pop a command terminal and type: On Windows XP: regsvr32 /u "C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Application Data\virt-viewer\bin\SpiceX.dll" On Windows 7 regsvr32 /u C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\AppData\virt-viewer\bin\SpiceX.dll" - Next we need to remove the rest of virt-viewer - Go to add/remove programs and uninstall virt-viewer, this removes the rest of virt-viewer from the system

[Users] UI Plugin iframe dialogs
by René Koch (ovido) 08 Mar '13

08 Mar '13

Hi, I'm still working on my Nagios integration plugin and came across a limitation of the UI plugin framework caused by iframes. UI framework creates an iframe for each plugin, so the plugin code is separated from the main oVirt webadmin code (and other plugins). When creating a new (big) jQuery dialog in an sub tab-iframe (sub tab of selected vm or host) it can't be displayed without scrolling in the sub tab or resizing the sub tab (that's clear as it's displayed in an too small iframe). So it would be great if it would be possible to display dialogs in the middle of the main windows and overlap the iframe (don't know if this is possible). In short terms I want to create a dialog which behaves like e.g. the "Setup Host Networks" or "Add Permission to User" dialogs -> click on a link in the plugin iframe and dialog opens in the middle of the website not the middle of the iframe. What I found out so far is that: 1. I must be aware of the same origin policy (that's no problem) 2. I need to put my jQuery-dialog-code in the main oVirt windows and then I can call it from within the iframe (that's my problem) So my questions are: Is it possible to place code outside of the iframe? If not - are there plans to allow this in future releases? Or maybe is there a workaround? Thanks a lot, René

[Users] OS-independent ovirt-engine distribution archive
by Jiri Belka 04 Mar '13

04 Mar '13

Hello, I'm very slowly working to make ovirt-engine running on a BSD system. My problem is that I do it for fun and as my time resources are not big I could not choose building ovirt-engine from sources as it would push me to "port" (make packages) for all java dependencies. Yes, during build maven cannot download Internet and build dependencies (for security reasons). Would be possible to have (another) distribution archive of ovirt-engine which would be OS/distro-independent, so I could just extract and copy it to filesystem for local jboss? (RPM packages can be extracted with 'rpm2cpio' but their owners decided to make life very complicated [many symlinks etc.]). OS/distro-independent distribution archive (.zip, .tgz) would make life much easiers for people wanting to have ovirt-engine running on a non-RPM based Linux distro or on a BSD/Solaris system. jbelka

[Users] Flush old logs
by Nicolas Ecarnot 21 Feb '13

21 Feb '13

Hi, I'd like first to thank people of this mailing list for there help and advices - I learned a lot by reading your archive. Here's a simple question : In the "Alerts" message queue at the bottom of the screen, I see an error message dating from two weeks (about the failure to verify to restart status of a host). I'm pretty sure this shouldn't be there anymore, as the power management of this host has already been tested and approved many times since. I haven't find any trivial way to flush this message queue, and I was wondering whether it was stored in a database? Is there a way to clear these error messages? (Am I right with the db location?) Regards, -- Nicolas Ecarnot
