[Users] Strange UI bug: tab "VM" unusable / oVirt 3.3.1+
by Frank Wall 28 Jan '14

28 Jan '14

Hi, I'm experiencing a strange UI bug in the Amdin Portal. The "Virtual Machines" tab is unusable in serval ways: - when selecting a VM, all buttons are greyed-out, except "New VM" - you cannot power on, power off, open console or edit a VM - when selecting a VM, the VM-specific tabs do not appear on the bottom All other tabs, especially the "Hosts" tab are working as expected. Initially I suspected an incompatible browser on my side, so I tried with Firefox 25, Chrome and IE 11. No success. This UI bug hit me after upgrading from oVirt 3.3.0 to 3.3.1. And it is still reproducable in oVirt 3.3.2 BETA1. Any hint on this? Or any advice how to provide some useful debug output? I have to mention that I am able to workaround this bug: - select a VM - right click, choose "New VM", click "Cancel" - now most VM actions are no longer greyed-out - power on the VM - still the "console" button remains greyed-out Thanks - Frank

[Users] Create VLAN for WAN traffic
by Neil Schulz 17 Jan '14

17 Jan '14

I'm not very knowledgeable in VLANs. Sorry for the lack of knowledge in advance. Is it possible to create a VLAN for WAN traffic, to separate it from the internal network? I'd imagine so. It was a automated and simple process when use XenServer. I'm trying to switch from Xen to oVirt and when trying to recreate this, I'm unable to ping out from the VM. This leads me to believe the VLAN was created incorrectly. I created ifcfg-br1 on the host and through the engine, created the logical network with VLAN tagging 20. Does the interface, ifcfg-br1, require a public IP, any IP address, no ip address? (Sorry, never created a VLAN for WAN traffic as it was automated in XenServer) From there I have the VM installed and configured with a public IP address, however, only get Destination Host Unreachable, meaning it has no route out. I am banging my head on the desk trying to figure this out. Can anyone give me any assistance? Thank you, Neil

[Users] ovirt-engine-reports rpm for CentOS and oVirt 3.3
by Nicolas Ecarnot 16 Jan '14

16 Jan '14

Good morning or whenever, I read what RPM I have to install here http://www.ovirt.org/Ovirt_Reports but I can not find any RPM for CentOS 6. I strongly searched around the web and in the different repo folders, as well as in the mailing list msgs, and it seems the production of RPM for CentOS has been disabled for whatever reason. Is there a private recipe to create them or get them an unofficial way (reports, dwh, jasperreports...) Thank you. -- Nicolas Ecarnot

[Users] [ANN] new fedora20 nightlies rpms for oVirt are available for download
by Eyal Edri 15 Jan '14

15 Jan '14

fyi, oVirt infra has added support for nighlies rpms for various oVirt projects for fedora 20. the following has be done: - All ovirt projects were added f20 nightlies on jenkins.ovirt.org. (replaced f18, which is NOT built nightly anymore). - One jenkins f19 slave (vm02) was upgraded to f20, and we also have a bare metal host running f20 as well. - Nightlies rpms can be downloaded on the repos [1] - Nightlies publish & cleanup scripts were updated on the resources.ovirt.org to support f20. I didn't update any ovirt-node* job, since i'm not familiar with them. if you would like to build f20 builds, just add the 'fedora20' label to the relevant jobs. Eyal.

Re: [Users] GlusterFS Distributed Replicate

Hi, in a 2 node cluster you can set the path to localhost:volume. If one host goes down and SPM role switches to the remaining running host, your master domain is still accessible and so your VMs stay up and running.
