[Users] Multiple Engines, one web Interface?
by Darrell Budic
Now that we’ve got a self hosted engine, has any one given any thought to allowing one engine to remotely control another?
The scenario I’m imagining has one cluster at a DC with 4 nodes, and another cluster at a different DC with 3 nodes. Connectivity is normally pretty good, but it’s been known to drop for a bit every year. And I wouldn’t want to have the engine polling across it all the time as it’s a lower bandwidth link (100M vs 10G between nodes, so a bit). But what I would like is to have the one I’m sitting next to be able to control the remote one, and monitor it’s status, with each having it’s own self hosted engine so they are independent and migrations, etc, will continue to happen even if the two clusters get disconnected. This keeps all the polling local and fast, and avoids engine or cluster freak outs if/when the link is down between the two physically diverse clusters.
Cool bonus feature would be to enable a direct transfer between the two clusters storage facilities. Maybe with a “transport VM” button that suspends it to disk and moves it before restarting it (assuming you built your networks right, of course, complex but presumably possible), but I’d with a simple way to copy a shutdown VM over without going through an export/import process.
I could see this working with a separate manager engine, or just as an add in to the standard engine. Maybe a “cluster w/ local engine” type thing showing in the GUI.
Obviously two web interfaces on two separate engines aren’t a terribly hard thing to manage, but I just imagined the simple way and figured I’d throw it out there and see how hard or easy people thought it might be.

[Users] Physical CDROM access
by Bob Doolittle
Hi,
With VMware ESX, when you edit the CD device you have of course the
option of attaching an ISO, but IIRC you also have the option of
selecting the physical CDROM device for the Host.
There seems no way to do this with oVirt. It would be a really nice
addition to the "Change CD" menu to have something like "/dev/cdrom". Is
there a technical issue preventing this? Of course that would prevent VM
migration such as HA while the CDROM device is attached, but that didn't
stop VMware and it would be a valuable addition.
Thanks,
Bob

[Users] R: Re: How to - gluster
by tristano82＠libero.it
yes my idea is to start with 1 node ( storage+compute ) and then expand with
more server to add storage and compute.
what do you think ?

[Users] feature request - support getting console.vv with a single click
by i iordanov
Hi guys,
Mobile browsers usually reserve the double-tap functionality for zooming
in/out. It's therefore difficult/impossible to obtain a console.vv file
from the user-mode web interface on a mobile device.
Would you consider adding functionality to connect to the console without a
double-click?
Thanks!

What files to check on engine for Spice Proxy?
Tried also with a client that is on the same network as all servers
(10.4.4.0 where engine, proxy, hosts has their ips) and the spice
client opens but I see that it indeed connects to 10.4.4.9, so it is
not using proxy...

[Users] Polling vs Pushing engine events
by Sven Kieske
Hi,
we got the following problem:
we create / start / stop
hole vms /data centers / storage etc
(basically: everything ovirt can handle
via REST-API)
But if you want to know e.g. the status
of a vm (or anything) you need to constantly
poll the API.
This is not what we desire to do, as it
does not scale very well (e.g. polling
100 vms).
Is there a standardized way of pushing information
from the engine?

[Users] Hosts going offline due to storage issues.
by Ian Mordey
Hi there
I've got a 3 node oVirt 3.3.1 setup connecting to an Equallogic iSCSI SAN
array. My nodes keep going offline with these errors:
Host reports about one of the Active Storage Domains as Problematic.
Host cannot access one of the Storage Domains attached to the Data Center
<DC> Setting Host state to Non-Operational
The host is then fenced, reboots and comes back up normally.
I see some of these errors prior to the event:

Any ideas where to look? I can't see any errors on the switches or SAN..

[Users] AcquireHostId problem

Reading the mail archive, I can see that this is a know issue but I do not
see the workaround. Can someone enlight me ?
Also, is there somewhere a coherent instruction set in order to make NFSv3
work (including iptables settings). I had to stop iptables to unblock
myself...
