[Users] HA and SPM host
by Marc Seward 12 Jun '13

12 Jun '13

Hi all, In a 2 hypervisor setup,if host1 is fenced(host1 is also the SPM host) and it has HA VMs running on it,would these VMs be started on host2 only after host2 is elected as the SPM host? Thanks for your help.

[Users] update SpiceX.cab for win client?
by Darrell Budic 11 Jun '13

11 Jun '13

The spice.cab from elmarco that is referred to on http://wiki.ovirt.org/How_to_Connect_to_SPICE_Console_With_Portal doesn't exist any more, and I see that spice-space.org has a virt-viewer 0.5.6 for windows out. Any chance of someone packaging it up in a compatible .cab? Or if there's a resource on how to do it, a pointer would be appreciated and I can tackle it. Thanks! -Darrell

--4T94Hejb80K+e1gX Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Hey, I've just released libgovirt. libgovirt is a GObject C library to access oVirt/RHEV REST API. At the moment, it's able to get the list of VMs available on an oVirt instance, and to get the connection details for a given VM. It can be downloaded from http://people.freedesktop.org/~teuf/govirt/libgovirt-0.1.0.tar.xz It's signed with my GPG key: A525 E3EA 186A AB45 DD0F 86AF 24A4 69FB 7A56 F78E Changes since 0.0.3: - Add OvirtVmDisplay::host_subject property, this is required in some cases to connect to a VM which is using SPICE - Add OvirtVmDisplay::smartcard and OvirtVmDisplay::allow-override properties - Implement ovirt_vm_refresh_async() Christophe --4T94Hejb80K+e1gX Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.13 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAlG3KzcACgkQJKRp+3pW946B7wCdHefiVXFWTPTYb5Z+JI1J4r64 wVsAoNhq6d6tdq43dEoanVxy8T1o/dxs =r5Sh -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --4T94Hejb80K+e1gX--

Re: [Users] iSCSI and snapshots
by Maor Lipchuk 11 Jun '13

Hi Juan, When creating a snapshot, a new volume is should be created in the storage. The snapshot should contain the VM configuration and the VM disks (not including shareable disks and direct lun disks). Which Ovirt version are you using? What the audit log indicated? Was the operation succeeded? Can u please add a print screen of your VM and snapshot?

[Users] Nested virt failing
by Dax Kelson 10 Jun '13

10 Jun '13

I have Fedora 18 with ovirt running. I have vdsm-hook-nestedvt.noarch installed on all the nodes. The nodes are all identical with Intel i5-2400 CPUs (SandyBridge). When I try to boot a nested virtual machine (L2) instead of a ovirt virtual machine (L1), the kernel starts to load, and then that nested virtual machines (L2) pauses. On the host running Fedora 18 dmesg shows this message: nested_vmx_run: VMCS MSR_{LOAD,STORE} unsupported Reading this bug https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=892240 It looks like if the Fedora 18 ovirt nodes started the the L1 using the "core2duo" CPU flag instead of host pass through it might work? How do I do that, or are there other solutions? TIA, Dax Kelson
